The little turtle nodded, indicating that it understood.
Then it slowly climbed up to the bow of the ship and leaped into the sea.
As Jiang An watched the little turtle disappear into the sea, a sense of worry welled up in his heart.
Although the little turtle has become strong, she is still worried that something might happen to it.
After all, there are too many unknowns in the ocean, and no one can guarantee what might happen.
However, at that moment, the little turtle suddenly poked its head out of the water and shook its head at Jiang An, indicating that everything was fine.
Seeing this, Jiang An finally felt relieved.
The little turtle swam happily to the stern of the boat and gently nibbled at the gunwale, as if telling Jiang An that it would protect the boat well.
Jiang An smiled, reached out and patted the little turtle's head, and said, "Okay, I believe you. But remember to rest, don't overwork yourself, and make sure you eat well!"
They tossed him another piece of ice marrow, which the little turtle nimbly caught, swallowed, and then turned and dived into the water to continue guarding the ship, inevitably eating all the food that came its way.
The Cold Water Spirit Turtle is an aquatic animal, and as it grows, its speed in the sea increases, reaching a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour. This allows it to easily keep up with the ship, but Jiang An still can't help but worry.
In her eyes, the little turtle is still the same tiny turtle that used to be only the size of her palm, crawling around at her feet. She is always worried that she might accidentally step on it.
However, as time goes by, the little turtle has grown up and now even if Jiang An stands on it, she cannot cause it any harm.
Jiang An stood on the deck gazing for a long time before reluctantly putting the three stone boxes and fishing rod into his backpack and returning to the cockpit.
"Xiao Zhi, start the boat and get it to top speed as soon as possible!" Jiang An sat in the driver's seat, staring at the display screen as he gave the order.
[Xiao Zhi received it!]
With the little turtle protecting him, Jiang An felt much more at ease, at least no longer needing to worry about attacks from marine life.
Every time she was attacked, she believed that the little turtle would rush in immediately and solve the problem.
However, the problem of encountering reefs has remained unresolved.
After another three hours or so, the steamship had traveled about 160 kilometers.
Jiang An stopped the steamship. Two large creatures had appeared this time, and the little turtle might not be able to handle them alone.
So Jiang An quickly went to the deck and raised his bow and arrow.
It aimed at the giant shark's eye, which was fighting with the little turtle, and shot it without hesitation.
"Bang!" The sharp arrow pierced the giant shark's eye like lightning, and blood gushed out instantly.
The intense pain caused the giant shark to expose an opening, which the little turtle seized the opportunity to bite down hard. Instantly, the little turtle gained the upper hand.
Meanwhile, Jiang An on the other side was not idle either. She shot arrow after arrow, each one aimed straight at the other creature's weak point.
The sharp arrow, carrying a fierce momentum, pierced through the creature's body without mercy.
Soon, Jiang An and the little turtle worked together to take care of the two large creatures.
