Chapter 48: The Storm Rekindles
Chapter 48 - 48: The Storm RekindlesIf not for the Soul King's arrogance—camping alone in the Star Dou Forest, drinking himself into a vulnerable state—Fang Chang would never have succeeded so easily.
But there are no "what-ifs" in matters of survival.
After killing the Soul King, Fang Chang meticulously
But then, a strange thought crossed his mind: "Wait... What if it was a female dragon?"
When Fang Chang discovered the Dragon Turtle, it was in a swamp, trying to haul itself onto the shore.
Its front legs had reached dry ground, supporting half its body. Its neck stretched out as it scanned its surroundings with small, wary eyes.
For a full ten minutes, the creature remained in this position—its hindquarters still submerged in the swamp.
Fang Chang wasn't in a hurry. He knew turtles were far more formidable in water than on land. Engaging it in its aquatic domain would be unwise.
As the sun rose higher, Fang Chang stifled a yawn. His concealment skill deactivated momentarily, though the Dragon Turtle didn't notice him due to the distance.
Just as he was about to reactivate Concealment, the Dragon Turtle finally began to move.
Its front legs pushed forward, and its hindquarters strained against the swampy mud. However, the terrain's steep incline proved challenging.
One push... no success.
A second push... still no success.
A third...
After several failed attempts, the Dragon Turtle let out a low growl. Its body emitted a golden glow—its Dragon Power skill activating.
Empowered by the skill, its strength surged. With one final effort, it hauled its rear half out of the swamp and onto dry land.
Fang Chang observed patiently, knowing the turtle's vulnerability would only increase on land.
Now exposed, the Dragon Turtle's short legs became a liability. Despite its efforts to crawl, its movement was painfully slow.
After several minutes of sluggish progress, the Dragon Turtle reached a sunlit patch of land. As a cold-blooded creature, basking in the sun was a daily necessity—and the most dangerous part of its day.
Only when the golden glow of its Dragon Power skill faded did Fang Chang act.
Using Leap, he sprang from his hidden spot, landing directly behind the turtle.
Sensing a threat, the Dragon Turtle recoiled, pulling its head and legs into its sturdy shell.
Fang Chang approached, testing the shell with his legs. Its hardness produced a dull "thunk" that echoed ominously.
Most predators might give up at this point, but Fang Chang was no ordinary foe.
Using his shield legs and rear legs to brace himself, he hoisted his body onto the turtle's shell.
Then, he extended his middle legs, driving them into the gaps where the turtle's limbs had retreated.
The Dragon Turtle let out a guttural hiss, its hidden limbs straining to push Fang Chang's legs away. But the more it resisted, the deeper his legs pierced.
Soon, Fang Chang's venom began seeping into the creature's body. Its struggles grew weaker until, at last, it went limp.
Meanwhile, back at the barren land where the Golden Generation trio had last encountered Fang Chang, reinforcements had arrived.
This newly assembled group included four Soul Kings and eight Soul Elders, in addition to the Golden Generation trio.
Within hours, Spirit Hall had mobilized an elite team—a testament to its vast resources and influence.
Looking at the skeletal remains of the Earth Pit Demon Spider, now stripped bare, Hu Liena's eyes flashed with determination.
"Let's move," she commanded, leading the group forward.
