Chapter 108 The Secret of the Turtle Demon

Beside the river, there was a thin old Taoist priest with a long mustache and a goatee on his chin. He said with an indignant look on his face:

"What do you mean, County Magistrate Wang? Since you have already invited me, why did you call this bald donkey?"

A middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure and wearing official uniforms beside him smiled awkwardly and said, "Master Liu, calm down. I am doing this for the sake of the people in the entire county. I am also afraid that you can't handle it alone, so..."

The old Taoist clenched his fists, but he didn't want to continue to get angry. After all, this was his way of making a living and he had already received the money. If he walked away now, his reputation would surely be damaged in the future.

At this time, a fat monk with a bulging belly, like a pregnant woman, said with a smile: "Brother, why bother about it? We are all monks, don't get angry!"

"Hmph!" The Taoist priest snorted coldly. In recent years, the Taoist temple's business has been a bit bleak. All the pilgrims have been lured away by these monks. Now they are here to steal the business. It's really despicable.

Seeing that the situation had eased, the county magistrate hurriedly walked to the Taoist priest, held his hand, and comforted him: "Master Taoist, I understand your feelings, but you also have to think about my difficulties. Please accept this small gift!"

The county magistrate spoke the following words in a very small voice, and two heavy silver ingots flowed into the Taoist's pocket.

Feeling the importance of money in his pocket, the Taoist's eyesight improved a little. These days, it is easier to get things done if you have money. Thinking about how he used to be an ambitious young man, but now he has to bow down for money. It is really a pity.

The Taoist priest glanced at the fat monk and sneered, "Monk, who should go first, you or me?"

The monk laughed a few times, his eyes gradually narrowed, and he said calmly: "You should go first, Taoist friend. I will protect you from behind."

Hearing this, the Taoist held his head high and walked to the altar, and began to practice a strange spell, holding two talismans in his hands. As the talismans caught fire, a ray of light was absorbed into the water.

At the bottom of the river, a sturdy figure opened his scarlet eyes, as if stimulated by something, and then swam towards the shore.

Xiao Zhen, who was in the crowd, was also very surprised to see the scene that only existed on TV.

He would not think that this Taoist priest was a charlatan. Through his system investigation, he found that this old Taoist priest was in the late foundation building stage, comparable to a great fighting master like him. The other monk was also in the late foundation building stage and should not be underestimated either.

The water surface gradually began to change. Waves beat against the shore, and the first thing to emerge from the water was a huge head.

As the monster gradually approached, the people watching on the shore immediately retreated hundreds of meters. They just came to join in the fun and did not want to be dragged into the water by the monster and lose their lives.

A drop of cold sweat appeared on the Taoist's forehead. This monster looked very powerful. It might have surpassed the foundation-building stage. It was definitely not something he could deal with easily by himself.

"Monks, let's work together to subdue this monster!" The Taoist priest hurriedly reminded the monk next to him.

The monk also nodded, his eyes also became solemn. He originally thought it was just a small monster in the Qi Refining Stage, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

As the monster walked to the shore, his figure was exposed in front of everyone. This guy was more than two meters tall, walked upright, had dark green skin, and his exposed arms and thighs were very muscular. He also wore a huge turtle shell, and was obviously a turtle spirit.

"Pfft!" Xiao Zhen almost laughed out loud. This turtle monster looked like a large-sized Ninja Turtle.

Xiao Zhen used the system to investigate and wanted to see the detailed information of this turtle monster.

Character: Turtle Monster

Identity: Black Turtle Clan

Age: 213 years old

Cultivation: Xudan Stage (Half-step Douling)

Evaluation: The body contains a large amount of external demonic power, which can forcibly elevate the realm and make it extremely easy to go berserk.

After reading the introduction, Xiao Zhen had some doubts. The strength of this turtle monster was quite strong, but it seemed a little inconsistent with his age.

Think about the little monsters under the snake monster and the scorpion monster. They are about the same age as the turtle monster and are only in the Qi Refining stage.

"It seems that this turtle monster has some background!" Xiao Zhen guessed in his heart.

Soon, the two Taoists started fighting with the turtle monster. Relying on the magic weapons in their hands, they joined forces and barely suppressed the turtle monster.

Although the turtle demon's cultivation is stronger, he does not know any magic and has no magic weapon. He can only rely on his brute force and attack fiercely without any technical skills at all.

The monk saw the opportunity and two Buddhist beads appeared in his hand, which he threw directly at the turtle monster's blood-red eyes.

"Bang bang!" After two explosions, the turtle demon could only roll on the ground, covering his eyes, his face covered in blood.

A gleam of light flashed in the Taoist's eyes, and all his magic power continued to flow into the peach wood sword in his hand. The sword flew out and went straight to the turtle monster's face.

As if it suddenly sensed the danger, the turtle demon retracted its head in time, thus escaping the fate of being beheaded.

The turtle demon's remaining sanity clearly told him that he was no match for the two humans in front of him. If he didn't run away, he might end up like the rest of his kind, becoming turtle soup on the human table.

"Brother Taoist, he wants to run away!" the monk reminded urgently.

The Taoist gritted his teeth, took out a red string tied with copper coins, and flew out directly, binding the turtle monster's shell.

However, the turtle monster was too strong, and the Taoist priest alone could not pull it back. Even with the help of the monk, after a period of stalemate, the red rope was finally broken, and the turtle monster fled into the river in a panic.

Seeing the monster running away, the Taoist priest immediately pointed at the monk's nose and cursed: "It's all your fault, bald donkey. You usually eat so much, but when it comes to the critical moment, your fat is of no use at all."

Hearing the Taoist's cursing, the monk also got angry. This clay man was still a little angry. He really thought that he, a monk, was a vegetarian. He often secretly came to drink the turtle soup from this Turtle County.

"Damn Taoist priest, I have been putting up with you for a long time. It's obviously your broken rope that is not strong, yet you still blame me. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you don't know how powerful this body of Buddha is!"

Looking at the two masters fighting each other, the county magistrate could only worry. He had spent a lot of money to invite these two, but he didn't expect that the monster would run away.

The reason why the county magistrate asked people to exorcise the monster was not because he cared about the people. He didn't care how many fishermen were dragged away and eaten by the monster, but because the county's famous turtle soup brought him a lot of profits.

Look at the people behind, they look so cowardly. By the time the news about the monster spreads out tomorrow, only a few of them will have the courage to go into the water to fish out the turtle.

"Ding! A temporary task has been received, please check it!"

Temporary Mission: The Secret of the Turtle Demon

Completion conditions: Explore the turtle monster in the river and find out why it is so powerful!

Time limit: one day

Mission Reward: Seven Star Pill Recipe

"Haha, it's getting more and more interesting!" Xiao Zhen couldn't help but laugh a few times. Even if there was no such task, he was very curious why a two hundred year old turtle demon would have such a high level of cultivation. After all, the level of this world was not very high.

It’s the task reward that is a bit intriguing. Why is it the recipe of Seven-Star Pill? Is the system also urging me to refine a furnace of Seven-Star Pill?

Finally, I took a look at the monks and Taoists who were fighting fiercely. Although they did not use any magic power, the scene was very exciting.

The monk used his body to press the old Taoist priest under him, as if he wanted to crush him to death with his huge butt.

The Taoist priest was not to be outdone, and he bit the monk's fleshy arm with his old teeth, causing the monk to scream in pain. The situation was out of control for a while.

The county magistrate didn't know what to do. The officers he sent to stop the fight were simply unable to stop them. The monster hadn't been caught yet, but the two masters had already started fighting. It was really distressing.
