Chapter 152 The Turtle Family
"You must have a good talk with those turtles on your way here, and bring back a lot of black ore. I have high hopes for you!" The bearded man in dark red clothes muttered to himself, wishing he could turn into a pendant and go with them.
"Stop, stop, stop! You've said it 800 times already. I told you to rest assured, so you're reassured. Even if you don't trust me, don't you trust the family behind me?" Yu Qi said sternly.
The bearded man shrank back: "Please don't get agitated. I didn't say your family is no good. Okay, okay, I won't say anything more!"
"I'll open a passage for you right now, go find those turtles!"
As the bearded man walked into the habitat filled with lava and bubbles, he quickly took out a strange ball of light from it, fiddled with it for a while, and a portal of light appeared out of thin air in front of him.
Yu Qi looked at the gushing lava ahead and raised an eyebrow: "You're making me, your savior, walk this kind of path?"
The bearded man curled his lip: "You really think you're a real player? We're all monsters, what's there to be afraid of lava..."
"Alright, alright, whatever you say, I'll find you a different path right now!"
As he spoke, the bearded man simply opened the portal to Yu Qi and waved his rough hand vigorously.
"Please remember to speak up for me, I'm still waiting for you!"
Yu Qi stepped into the portal and quickly disappeared.
Before she even reached her destination, she could hear the sound of the waves and smell the slightly salty sea breeze.
Where did that bearded man take her? How did she end up back at sea?
Yu Qi looked up and realized that it was indeed the sea, but it was different from the golden sand and blue and white waves she had imagined.
This place is actually a huge landmass floating on the sea. There are many giant ships docked here on the shore. In the sky, it is covered by a huge, semi-transparent green turtle shell, so the storms outside can't blow in at all.
Near the edge of the continent close to the ocean, a group of turtles of all sizes were leisurely basking in the sun, while smaller turtles were constantly flipping over, seemingly playing some kind of game.
As soon as Yu Qi appeared, a loud shout rang out from afar, and then countless fully armed monster turtles surrounded her.
"I just sensed his fluctuations!"
"It's definitely that annoying red lizard again, it's him again!"
"Everyone, don't panic. This person in front of us doesn't look like a lizard at all. How come he's just an ordinary human?"
"An ordinary human? How is that possible? I clearly sensed that this person came out of that portal of light; it must be that stinky lizard!"
A group of fully armed turtles were muttering to themselves around them.
"No, no, look closely, she's definitely not that red lizard! She has a very familiar scent; she's a gift from the Second Elder!"
"Ah, it seems we really did arrest the wrong person, but why did she walk out of that familiar light?"
"Who cares why? Anyone who receives a gift from our turtle family is an honored guest. Keep your knives away, and don't hurt our distinguished guests!"
As the group of turtles retreated, only the older, larger turtle slowly crawled over, carefully examining the hair clip on Yu Qi's head, and finally nodded in satisfaction.
"It is indeed the Second Elder's possession. Child, what brings you to our Turtle Clan's continent?"
"No matter where you come from, as long as you have this hairpin, you can get help from our turtle family!"
"Did that red lizard kidnap you? Did it bully you?"
"As long as you explain it to us clearly, we will catch this lizard no matter how far away it is and make it apologize to you!"
Hearing these discussions, how could Yu Qi not know what had happened?
He almost cursed that bearded man to death in his heart. If it weren't for the hairpin given to him by the Turtle Family, he would have been subdued immediately and dealt with on the spot!
That bearded guy is completely unreliable; no wonder he hasn't managed to get any black ore all these years!
Yu Qi's inner self punched the bearded man repeatedly, then looked up and replied with a smile, "Sorry, I just accidentally came here through the inner door. I didn't expect to end up on the continent of the Turtle Clan."
"I've loved turtles since I was little. Now that I'm here, could I have a look around? I'm really curious about the scenery here."
The giant tortoise nodded: "Since it's a request from our esteemed customer, we'll accommodate it all!"
"Fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother, eighth brother, ninth brother..."
"All of you come here and introduce our mainland to our distinguished guest, then take her on a tour!"
Yu Qi looked at the turtles slowly crawling over in the distance and silently facepalmed to himself, thinking that by the time they got here, it would be almost dark.
However, the next second, several turtles seemed to accelerate and rolled over in a flash.
The leading turtle monster grinned, revealing its large, snow-white teeth: "Honorable customer, please come with us!"
"I want to introduce you to the most popular place in our turtle family, which is Turtle Breeding Beach!"
"There are many of our babies there. Let me tell you, the baby turtles are the cutest..."
Yu Qi listened to the turtle ramble on for a long time, every sentence revolving around their young, and finally understood why Big Beard had been hated for so many years.
Why did you have to go and disturb the nest of the young?
Is this a good thing?
However, these turtles really didn't treat him like an outsider at all. They even brought him turtle eggs that hadn't hatched yet, letting him touch them.
"It's alright for our valued customer to touch it and let it absorb some of the good fortune!"
Yu Qi could only gently rub against it.
The next second, there was a cracking sound.
In an instant, a group of turtles gathered around.
