Chapter 456: High King Turtle

Jiang Fei returned to his home and lay down on his bed . The uneasiness in him had not subsided even after he had already taken a long bath . It was not the fact that there would be incoming trouble but the inability to fend off such trouble . He was weak . Despite defeating Ye Zhangfa in only a few moves, he could never be sure that he could defeat other Level 3 fighter . What would he do if a Level 4 fighter or ability user decided to challenge him? All his strength was borrowed from the equipment . Others could not see it, but he knew that he cannot compare himself with other true fighters .

Even though he had already received a warning from Han Tianyu, he still played into the hands of the others . It could not be avoided . Jiang Fei was just an average boy, born and raised like anyone else in the world . Bai Zongwei, Ye Zhangfa, and even the girls were raised in an environment to train their instincts as well as their combat abilities . Yang Po might think that Jiang Fei was a cunning man but in reality, he was just a normal boy who just happened to be strong .

Compared to Bai Zongwei, Jiang Fei was just at the level of playing tic tac toe whereas Bai Zongwei would be as good in strategy as the grandmaster of chess . Ye Zhangfa might be the same as him . Jiang Fei understood his weakness . However, to sharpen his intellect in such a short time would be impossible . By the time he was smart and intuitive, he would be as old as the old farts .

Strength and skills could be sharpened at any time and day but the ability to plan and scheme takes experiences . Half of it would be talent and the other half came from wisdom from experience . It would take a lifetime to improve his ability to plan strategy .

“What am I supposed to do in this situation?!” cried Jiang Fei from the top of his lung as he muffled his voice with his head pillow . He had always been a shut-in . Whenever he encountered a problem that could not be solved, his first instinct was to run and hide . In this case, he would not want to ever meet the two boys in his school . Hence, he decided to not go to school until he felt like it .

After having all sort of negative thoughts for the entire evening and night, Jiang Fei decided to call it an early day . He lay in his bed and slept . When the clock struck ten, the ring automatically transferred his conscience into the game .

When he was in the gaming world, Jiang Fei’s mind was freed . There were more things to worry about in the game than in real life .

“What shall we do today?” wondered Jiang Fei . Ever since he had reached Level 60, there were not many places that Jiang Fei could visit . In fact, all the maps that had been discovered could not provide much experience points to Jiang Fei .

“Oh right! The Title Challenge Quest! Bella, let’s go and check out the hydra!” said Jiang Fei .

“Sure! Coincidently, I want to try out my new skills!” said Isabella with a warm smile . Jiang Fei had reached Level 60, hence, she had gained new skills as well as a boost in the overall attributes .

With the directions given by the quest system, Jiang Fei flew with the Skygliding Dragon . He started off from the east gate of Dawnlight City and continued east, all the way until he reached the seaside .

“Hmm… Where’s the hydra?”

Jiang Fei had reached the supposed location of the boss but there was nothing but crystal clear waters and bare empty beach .

“Let’s go down and explore the place,” said Isabella .

“Good idea . ”

As Jiang Fei descended slowly to the beach, he saw a large flat stone platform with an altar built on it .

“Could this be related to the hydra?”

Jiang Fei unsummoned the dragon and walked closer to the mysterious ultra .

“Ding! Required Materials to use the Summoning Altar: Fresh Innards of the High King Turtle!”

“I-I-Innards?” Jiang Fei cringed a little .

“Glider! See that!” said Isabella as she pointed to the other side of the beach .

“Oh my god!” cried Jiang Fei as he saw what Isabella was pointing at . It was a mountain-sized sea turtle that was slowly moving toward the shore .

The turtle that was crawling on its belly was at least five meters tall with the body length that extended up to twenty meters or so . It was the largest turtle that Jiang Fei had ever seen .

High King Turtle (Beast, Lord)

Level: 65

Health Points: 18,000,000

Attack Power: 100

Skills: Shell Defense, Turtle Spirit Protection, Inner Beast, Health Rejuvenation

Shell Defense: Immensely increases Physical and Magical Defense . Lasts one minute .

Turtle Spirit Protection: Grants a damage absorbing shield that would restore 2% of the user’s health every time an attack is received .

Inner Beast: Grants a powerful health regeneration ability .

Health Rejuvenation: Shrinks into the shell and rapidly restores the user’s health . Can only be triggered when an attack is received . Triggers once every one minute .

Note: The High King Turtle is a gentle herbivore that would not harm other beings . In exchange for attack power, the High King Turtle had gained a powerful Defense ability as well as health regeneration power . Almost no being in the world could subjugate the High King Turtle .

“Right… That thing is unbeatable…” said Jiang Fei after he recognized that the High King Turtle’s skills were definitely game-breaking . It was obvious that to summon the Hydra, one must obtain the innards of the High King Turtle . However, how was it possible to slaughter the turtle when it was practically unkillable .

The Title Challenge Quest was a solo quest . No one could help him at this point . It was impossible for him alone to defeat such a meaty boss with ultra-strong defense and regeneration ability .

“This is not right . There must be a way around it . The developers would never design a quest that cannot be completed! It is obvious that the boss could not be killed . There has to be another way!” said Jiang Fei as he understood something had to be done .

“Bella, let’s go around it,” said Jiang Fei . He summoned the Skygliding Dragon again and scouted the area of the beach .

The beach was empty . There was literally nothing but sand and seaweed that was growing in the sea . The seaweed that was growing in sea grew from the shore and all the way up to the end of the lagoon . It was so abundantly available that it was enough to feed the turtle until its death .

Since there was nothing around that could kill the turtle, it was living there happily . Every time the turtle lowered its humongous neck to gnaw on the seaweed, an empty spot would appear in the sea .

“Interesting…” commented Jiang Fei as he saw how the turtle ate . The High King Turtle may be abnormally large but it did not have teeth . After scooping the seaweed, it did not chew but swallowed it directly .

“The High King Turtle has an impenetrable defense on the outside . I’m pretty sure that the insides would be just as weak! On the other hand, the quest did not specify how I should obtain the innards! That means I don’t have to kill the turtle!”

“What are you planning to do?” asked Isabella .

“Something risky . Here me out . ”

Jiang Fei explained his plans to enter the turtle’s body via the mouth since it did not chew when it ate . There was only one flaw in his plan, that was the possibility of being killed by the turtle’s digestive acid .

“I’ll follow you wherever you go,” said Isabella .

“Alright . High risk, high reward . Let’s give it a go!” said Jiang Fei as he made up his mind to be eaten by the turtle . What was there to lose besides dying one time?

Once Jiang Fei decided to do it, he would do it . That was his motto . He snuck up on the turtle slowly from its blind spot and swam into the bed of seaweed .
