901: Chapter 248: This Place is Suitable for Opening The Heaven_2 901: Chapter 248: This Place is Suitable for Opening The Heaven_2 Underground, Su He knew nothing.
He had only sensed the overwhelming tremors above.
Clearly, the skirmish between the Houdou and the Tengu was far from peaceful.
With his claws, Su He gently dug, continuously burrowing further down.
The tunnel behind him had long since collapsed and been sealed.
Having previously snatched the Void Forbidden Divine Pearl and exposed its location, the Houdou and the Tengu would inevitably conduct a fierce search throughout the entire East Cloud Mountain water system.
Staying in the water was no longer safe.
He had no idea when the battle above the East Sea would end.
As long as it did, there would surely be adult Dragon Turtles who would notice the plight of the Fire Turtle and would likely come to investigate.
Step by step, Su He dug forward, inch by inch, making his way downward.
After an unknown length of time, he suddenly looked up.
In that moment, he felt the powerful presences of outsiders.
The Houdou and Tengu had arrived!
Adult ones!
Su He immediately stopped digging, remaining completely still, as the toad’s white smoke filled the entire tunnel.
Hidden within, Su He became as still as death, holding his breath and keeping his spirit focused.
His heartbeat, Divine Sense, blood flow…
every sign of life came to a halt.
Other adult Houdou were not like Nu, one who had barely opened Heaven Five-fold for three to four days.
Ancient Divine God Beasts with many tricks up their sleeves were as plentiful as hairs on a cow!
Su He didn’t move an inch, completely abandoning any senses.
Yet, he couldn’t block the overwhelming presence of the adult Divine God Beast that kept washing over him relentlessly.
Above ground at East Cloud Mountain, the entire mountain seemed like a furnace.
In the sky, along with Nu, there were three adult Houdou and two adult Tengu, together with the earlier Lou, making three Tengu in total.
Six Divine God Beasts sealed off the heavens and the earth.
The pressure from the adult Divine God Beasts weighed down on the whole mountain range, causing flowers, trees, fish, and beasts on the mountain to perish one after another in this mighty display of power.
“Dragon Turtle!” bellowed an old voice from a Houdou, echoing across the entire mountain range, through the sky and the earth.
“Show yourself and we will leave your corpse intact, or be searched out by us, and we’ll certainly flay you, drain your blood, crush your shell, and pulp your flesh!”
Su He remained motionless, maximizing his Snow Concealment ability, allowing the voice to pass through him without any resistance, without any response.
That voice paused for a moment before resounding again, “Could it be you’re waiting for a rescue from the Dragon Turtle Tribe?”
After saying this, it let out a reckless laugh, “Delusional hopes?
If the Dragon Turtle Tribe had even the slightest chance of turning the tables this time, would my Houdou Clan come to kill you so brazenly?”
“Reveal yourself and accept your death.
If another Turtle has the Proof of Dragon Turtle, we will no longer make things difficult!
Otherwise, delay a day, and in the days to come, for every day we wait, we will kill one more young Turtle.
In our lifetimes, don’t foolishly hope for the birth of another Dragon Turtle!”
While it was still speaking, its murderous aura had already seeped down, “Don’t count on that old turtle of yours.
That Old Wang Ba, if he could enter the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, wouldn’t have waited till now.
When he enters the All Heavens and Myriad Realms in the future, at worst my Houdou Clan would just hide!”
Even as it was speaking, moonlight pierced through the earth and reached down into the water and underground.
This was the power of an adult Tengu.
“Little Turtle!” The voice of the toad rang in Su He’s heart.
“?”
“We can’t hide any longer!” the Toad whispered, “There are at least four or five adult Tengu or Houdou above us, and staying here we could be discovered at any moment.
If Divine Skills can’t find us, they would obliterate East Cloud Mountain, searching through each grain of dust.
They’re bound to find us eventually.”
Su He fell silent.
If no Dragon Turtle comes soon, is he supposed to hide in the River of Time?
And if he exhausts his Star Ring energy, then what?
As for the Houdou’s talk of the Dragon Turtle’s extinction — nonsense!
Su He had come from the future, unaware of the specifics of the East Cloud Mountain incident, but he could guess the overall situation!
The Wasteland Ancestor, Red Ancestor, and the other Four Spirits were all in this era, how could something possibly go wrong?
“Little Turtle!” whispered the toad again, “The Mountain Divine God you nurtured in East Cloud Mountain once sent a message about something squirming beneath East Cloud Mountain.
If there’s no surprise, there is something sealed down there, be it a corpse or a living person.
Shall we overturn East Cloud Mountain?”
There definitely wouldn’t be more severe consequences.
After all, in the future, that thing is still sealed beneath East Cloud Mountain.
Maybe if the commotion is large enough, it will draw the attention of the other Four Spirits or the Bull Nose from Guiwang Mountain.
After all, Guiwang Mountain is the true Tao Protector that guards Mystery Huang.
Su He plunged into silence.
He knew about the matters the Toad mentioned; Zong Sunye had left a message, which he saw upon his return to Long Moon Mansion.
But Thai Zu said he had to maintain his condition and must not get injured.
He was needed in the Great Sun Tomb, so Su He had informed Thai Zu and Gu Luo about it and hadn’t visited the place himself.
What was beneath, he truly did not know.
However, there was definitely something beneath East Cloud Mountain, that was for certain, even Ji Feixue did not permit the people of Yunmeng Ze to casually step onto East Cloud Mountain.
Su He pondered, only to hear a thunderous noise above his head, someone was destroying East Cloud Mountain.
Just as the toad had thought, they wanted to shatter East Cloud Mountain bit by bit, to root them out!
Su He’s expression changed, he bit down on his dragon tooth and began to fiercely dig downwards with his claws.
Each excavation coincided with the booming sound above, minimizing the possibility of exposure as much as possible.
The toad seemed to be on the same wavelength, instantly spitting out fog that melded with Su He’s digging, the thick smoke completely sealed Su He in his Snow Concealment state.
As time ticked by, the roaring noise above grew stronger and stronger, Su He’s claws fluttered, breaking through layers of rock, heading downwards.
“Faster!
Even faster!” The toad’s voice urgently rang out in Su He’s heart.
It could already sense the overwhelming pressure from above.
The whole toad seemed like a lone boat in a storm, about to be overturned by the huge waves at any moment.
While urging Su He, a voice came from above: “Found them!”
A Houdou broke through the crust and saw the tunnel that Su He had dug out.
“Not a water turtle, turns out to be a land turtle!” It burst out laughing, opening its mouth and spraying a stream of lava into the tunnel.
The scorching lava poured straight down the tunnel.
The already limited air in the tunnel instantly became hot, turning into an oven.
Barking noises sounded, Tengu and Houdou all gathered in this direction.
A roar overturned the earth.
Then they saw six hyenas outside, their eyes flashing with cruel light, grinning and staring at Su He.
“Little Turtle!” shouted the toad, taking out his pipe, ready to start fighting.
But then Su He’s voice came through: “Found it!”
Under the overturned mountain roots, there was still endless soil, but Su He had found the place the toad spoke of!
It was a special space, just like the one where the White Tiger Bones were, during ancient times.
Overlapping with this world yet not together.
Invisible, unenterable!
Two Tengu and two Houdou descended from above at the same time, baring their fangs at Su He and striking.
Death seemed imminent!
The toad’s expression changed, it blew out of its pipe, a large net surged upwards, but was instantly torn apart by the four Divine God Beasts.
“This toad is mine!” One of the Houdou’s eyes gleamed, it declared.
“Your grandfather!” the toad cursed, “Look at yourself in the piss first, you mangy dog, you think you’re worthy?!”
The Houdou’s gaze shifted: “If you won’t submit, then die!” It roared, diving faster.
“Little Turtle!” called the toad.
“Let’s go!” Su He pressed his claws onto the land below, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes, he had found that space.
The Spirit Snake wrapped around the mountain.
Power of Xuanwu surged through his body, and in a flash, the turtle, carrying the toad, rushed in.
The four hyenas pounced down, their claws grazing past Su He’s shell, only to watch with wide eyes as the Dragon Turtle disappeared before them.
“Roar!” The four different-shaped wild dogs suddenly jumped about, roaring as they overturned mountains and shattered the earth.
But they could never find the Dragon Turtle.
The red moon flickered atop the Tengu’s head, its gaze icy cold: “Search!
They’re still here!”
The moon was still red, the Dragon Turtle had not left!
They had merely hidden like a rat in a drain.
Find them, tear them to shreds!
