Immediately afterwards, the earth began to shake continuously, and the houses built of grass and trees around the area began to collapse one after another, while the dense and towering trees not far away also began to sway.

Xisheng was completely unaware of what was happening around him; all he wanted was to pull down the blood-red sphere that had killed everyone in the village and smash it to pieces.

The earth trembled continuously, and countless cracks appeared underfoot, some of which were bottomless.

Looking at the apocalyptic scene before him, Li Sisui broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed that he had alerted the demon beast that was refining human pills.

Originally, they wanted to slip away as soon as possible, but now it seems they can only race against time, their lives hanging by a thread.

With that thought in mind, Li Si casually covered himself with a light screen, and his speed increased even further. In just a few breaths, he arrived in front of Xisheng.

Xisheng was now gripping the blood-red sphere tightly with both hands, his entire body hanging from it, while the corpses beneath his feet were scattered everywhere due to the earthquake.

With a whoosh, the light chain wrapped around Xiu's waist, and Li Sisui turned and sped towards the village entrance, dragging Xisheng, who was like a dead dog, along with him.

Now that he had no time to spare, Li Sisui panicked and fled in the opposite direction for his life.

As the ground tremors intensified, Li Sisui had to drag Xisheng up a tree to continue their escape.

Xisheng held the sphere tightly, not caring where the light chain would drag him, he simply embraced the sphere without letting go in the slightest.

It was quite obvious that after Yuanzhu was dragged away by Li Sisui, the entire Xiangma Village began to shake violently, as if it were the end of the world.

The sobbing sounds that had been heard before now rose more urgently, and anyone could feel the anger within them.

Li Sisui darted and leaped through the woods, glancing behind him out of the corner of his eye, only to witness a scene that left him speechless.

The entire Xiangma Village was like a jigsaw puzzle piece, peeled away from the land, and the sobbing echoed through the sky.

An enormous triangular head emerged from the banks of the Weak Water River, its neck stretching endlessly below, hidden within the water.

Li Si, now high above, could finally see the whole picture. It turned out that the bandit village was actually located on the back of the spinning tortoise, and was now being torn apart by the movement of the monster.

According to the Cloud Piercer's Manual, it resembles a tortoise with a bird's head and a snake's tail. It hides in the Weak Water and appears with whirlpools. It is named the Whirlpool Tortoise. It is about ten feet tall and likes to eat people to make elixirs.

It turns out that the people of Xiangma Village were alchemy materials raised by the Xuan Turtle, which explains why the villagers were mostly old, weak, sick, and disabled, with very few young and strong people.

The enormous triangular snake head stared at the man fleeing deeper into the dense forest, flicking its tongue and hissing continuously.

Upon hearing this sound, Li Sisui felt as if the death knell of Yama was ringing in his ears. He no longer held back any of his cultivation and went all out, ignoring Xisheng on the light chain behind him, who was being dragged around in a daze.

It seems the Cloud Piercer's Manual isn't very reliable either. This spinning tortoise in front of us is at least several tens of feet in size; it's practically a moving island.
