Ascension

Chapter 54 Anthurium VS Shield Turtle

"Roar!"

The shield turtle transformed from a gray shadow is no different from a living body except for a pair of gray hollow eyes.

It yelled and stopped abruptly.

Because of the momentum of inertia, coupled with the leverage of the forelimbs, the whole body turned ninety degrees, presenting a strange posture with the head down and the carapace erected high.

Scutellaria... perform a handstand live!

With this weird posture, the turtle's head was firmly protected, and its limbs shrank accordingly.

When the short tail is also retracted, it looks like a erected shield.

Both the carapace and the plastron have a cold metallic texture, giving people the tricky feeling of "difficult to break through no matter where you attack from".

"This incarnation... is obviously stronger than the main body."

Lord Yehan from the perspective of true God, like the god who rules this white island, looks deep in thought.

The shield turtle used the skill again.

From crawling on the ground to standing upright, like a shield to parry the enemy's attack-this is "shield", one of the most classic defensive skills in turtle form.

However, even if the average tortoise comprehends the skills, it is difficult to keep the head down and the tail up.

It is more common to have the head up and the tail down, which exposes the upper notch as a signature potential weakness.

This is the key to measure the proficiency of the "shield" skill.

Only the back armor with the head upright is more solid, so that it will not be easily penetrated into the gap in the neck by sharp claws or some ranged elemental skills.

"Buzzing—"

The flying yellow sand was the first to meet and return without success.

Huazhu seems to have expected it, and is not in a hurry.

She no longer retreated, and unexpectedly got stuck not far in front of the shield turtle, continuing to pile up yellow sand.

Of course, the shell of the shield turtle is thick and indestructible.

The weakened version of the "tail stab" or "clamp" cannot damage its back shell, and it is not particularly easy to leave a few scratches.

If it is replaced by a beast like a tiger or leopard, even if it is still a small level ahead in terms of rank.

They don't have a good way to take the shield turtle. Their teeth are worn out and they can't bite the meat. It's a waste of time to chew for a long time, which only adds to the joke.

Turtle family spirits-but they are notoriously "hard bones"!
Except for a few natural enemies who have a way to prey on them, they will be interested in encountering them.

They didn't even look at the others, they were born with disdainful eyes.

Anthurium is not.

She has killed turtles - more than once.

Generally speaking, these kind of spirits are bulky and slow to move, but they only have superior defense...the advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.

The beast has nothing to do with it, but it doesn't mean the desert witch has nothing to do with it.

The diameter of sand is generally smaller than that of rice grains.

Stacked sand, good use, can sometimes play a miraculous effect.

Right now is the most opportune time, with the shield armor and the tortoise supporting the shield, in the strongest defensive state.

But it has completely lost the ability to move. Unless the shield is removed, the neck cannot be stretched out, and it is impossible to bite.

Not to mention the claws, which are full of air by scratching and hitting. As long as you keep a distance, Huazhu can't be hurt by it.

"Buzzing—"

Continue to summon sand.

With the lower half erected, it was submerged in the sand.

The stationary shield turtle suddenly went berserk, stretching out its limbs, trying to change its posture and resume crawling.

It discovered that a shield can block the attacks of various skills, but the sand is too fine, and the gap between the neck and the ground cannot stop its penetration!
In this case, it shuts its eyes and mouth tightly, which is tantamount to digging its own grave.

Once the sand blocks it and blocks the inflow of air, the shield turtle, which relies on lungs to breathe, may suffocate to death!

"Roar!"

After struggling for a while, the shield turtle staggered and turned over, recovering its limbs to touch the ground.

It began to cough, opening and closing its mouth, trying to vomit out the sand it accidentally swallowed, with a hideous expression.

In an instant, a black shadow flashed.

The desert witch, who didn't know when to deceive her, raised the tail needle on her back and pierced it hard into its eye socket.

"puff!!"

The shield turtle screamed, then went crazy, biting randomly.

Anthurium retreated, but not too far, hanging on the shield turtle, continuing to provoke.

"puff!!"

After going crazy for a while, the shield turtle stopped to breathe heavily.

At the moment of rest, the witch got close and stabbed her for the second time.

The hit rate of this shot was still astonishing, and it instantly pierced the other intact eye of the shield turtle, making it completely blind.

"Roar!!!"

The big tortoise went completely crazy.

But it can't see the enemy, and its perception in other aspects is too weak, so it can only circle around in place.

As for Huazhu, he just stood more than ten meters away, watching it quietly, waiting patiently.

Her tail needle...is poisonous!
Although the toxicity is very weak, it is even more difficult to poison small-sized spirits, and it will never be possible to poison large-sized spirits.

But twice in a row, the tail needles were inserted into the soft life gate of the shield turtle.

The toxin dubbed "weak nerve paralysis" spread directly to the edge of the brain, and it would definitely trigger some effects.

"Roar……"

In 10 minutes, the frequency of the roar of the crazy shield turtle suddenly slowed down.

The more it struggles, the faster the toxin invades.

Coupled with the huge consumption of physical strength, it looks like a dying beast with only the last ray of life remaining.

Even... it couldn't curl its head anymore.

The pain is too piercing, and it is impossible to shrink normally.

No matter how strong the tortoise shell is, it will not be able to withstand the obvious weaknesses exposed.

"puff!"

Anthurium rushed forward, jumped up slightly, and the tail needle penetrated the shield turtle's head from top to bottom at a faster speed.

At this point, the big tortoise uttered its last cry, collapsed to the ground, and lost all its life.

"good."

As the only spectator, Lord Yehan applauded three times as a token of appreciation.

It is still early to sign the contract, and the related cultivation has just started.

This time, the battle was completed by the witch independently from the beginning to the end.

Although, the rank of the shield turtle is the fetus of clay sculpture, Xiaocheng, which is weaker than the clay sculpture of Huazhu, Dacheng.

But the strength of the latter's skills has been severely weakened, and the combat skills of the former have been greatly enhanced.

Going back and forth again, he can still grind to death slowly without any injuries.

With such an achievement, it is not a problem to give it a high score according to Mr. Ye Han's standards.

"This turtle is so hard to kill."

"I've killed it before, but it's not so troublesome."

Anthurium's breathing is slightly messy.

Manipulating the sand forward and backward also consumes energy.

And to control the distance at all times, one must seize the best opportunity to attack in close quarters, which requires super concentrated attention.

If she was bitten by a shield turtle, it would be no joke. Her accompanying witch skirt or body-protecting snake scales were mainly decorative, and the defensive effect was better than nothing.

This is the defect of not having legal attack skills. Combined with physical games, the stakes required are completely different. For Huazhu, a one-on-one battle is tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife.

"After today, maybe you will leave a little shadow on the turtles."

When Ye Hanjun's light voice fell, Huazhu was feeling puzzled.

Suddenly saw the dead shield turtle sinking rapidly as if stuck in a swamp.

It had just disappeared, and before he breathed a sigh of relief, two gray shadows came out again, slowly wriggling in two directions.

"what?"

Hua Zhu, who was concentrating on getting ready for battle, opened her eyes wide and her expression gradually froze.

The resurfaced monster was actually a big black turtle?
"Hoohoo!!"

"Hoohoo!!"

The two new shielded turtles are still so manic.

When they saw the desert witch, they screamed and crawled over as if they saw a father and enemy.

Huazhu immediately retreated, she rarely attacked first, and after getting used to keeping a safe distance, she would choose a contingency method according to the specific situation of the crisis.

But this time, Huazhu's thinking was a bit overwhelming.

No difference... really no difference!
The two shielded turtles and the one that had been killed, both in color and shape, seemed to be carved out of the same mold.

It can't be twins or triplets, can it?This is too outrageous!
"Battle incarnation comes from another passive power of mine—Death branding."

"This power is always active, but because I didn't sign a contract and didn't enter the gate of life and death, I haven't discovered it."

Lord Ye Han's voice sounded at the right time.

In the echoing voice like a bell, there was a trace of emotional fluctuations that were difficult to understand.

At the beginning of the flower candle, I had no free time to analyze the meaning, and was busy avoiding the bite of the double turtle.

She didn't understand that the innocent-looking young turtle would attack from left to right, using simple tactics to limit her movement space.

It wasn't until one of them was poked and wounded with all their strength that the somewhat embarrassing situation was reversed.

After a stalemate for at least half an hour, Huazhu seized every opportunity she could, cheated shields, poured yellow sand, inserted tail thorns... and just killed one of them.

"Hu-hu-"

The wounded body lacked the means to attack, and continued to fight.

No matter how hard Huazhu was to maintain his breathing, after killing another shield turtle with difficulty, his fatigue was visible to the naked eye.

However, before she felt relieved and conveyed the thought of "almost reaching the limit" in her heart, the gray shadow unexpectedly emerged again.

And this time there was another group, the number two became the number three.

Under Huazhu's inconceivable gaze, the three-headed armored tortoise took on its real body.

They roared, building a triangle, outflanking them from three directions.

"My lord, this... can't be finished?"

"Otherwise, why is it called 'Death Challenge'?"

Mr. Yehan showed a faint smile:

"Remind you, the difficulty of this active power that I activated increases with each round."

"It doesn't just put you under a huge amount of stress, and at the end of the day ... literally dies."

"Then what goal do I have to achieve in order to pass the challenge?"

In panic, Huazhu tried to find a way to solve the problem.

She was already thinking desperately, but it seemed that she still didn't comprehend the true meaning of Lord Yehan's words.

"Crack? No."

"You should do your best to fight with the battle incarnation."

"When you are powerless, you can face death calmly, that's good."

Mr. Yehan's answer was uneventful, but there was a trace of coldness coming from Huazhu's back.

"Don't worry, the you in the enchantment is actually not the real you."

"Although you can't realize this yourself, you just need to know that after you die, you will also 'resurrect'."
