Passerby A: [Dr. Gu, when will you send me back to Green Sea...]

Regardless of whether you evolve Mr. Ha or Dark Crow first, the next preparation work must be done.

Mr. Ha, I want to forge a new weapon for it.

As for the Dark Crow, it is necessary to continue to cultivate its soul strength.

The forging materials for the former are easy. With Lu Ran's current wealth, it is not difficult to buy them. With the plug-in of Flame Spirit and the forging experience of the Necromancer, he should be able to forge them after a little training.

However, according to the forging diagram, soul fire is needed to forge the embryo of an undead weapon.

Lu Ran has yet to figure out the soul fire, and he feels that he may need some external help.

That is, to hunt down fire beasts, extract their souls, and study them.

As for the latter, Lu Ran himself would need to hunt a large number of ferocious beasts, extract their souls to make food, and cultivate dark crows.

If Lu Ran wants to conduct in-depth research on the necromancy, it won't work if he just stays in the Infinite City. After all, except for breaking through the secret realm, the monsters in the ordinary secret realm are heavily digitized and will shatter at the slightest touch, making it impossible to separate their souls. So he still has to find a way in reality.

Gu Qingyi: [Is it urgent? I’ll go and urge them? ]

Passerby A: [Yes, it's urgent. In our Xia country, are there any places with more wild fire beasts, the kind that are uncontrollable and need to be eliminated in large numbers? ]

[Psychic and dark types are also needed! 】

Gu Qingyi: [Uh, what do you want to do. ]

Passerby A: [As a beastmaster of Xia Country, I want to eliminate the safety risks for the people. ]

Gu Qingyi: [Speak human language.]

Passerby A: [The next step of cultivation requires a large number of souls...]

Gu Qingyi Hehe, it looks like this Holy Son of the Dead is going to take action in reality...

…………

When Lu Ran was still having fun outside.

Green sea.

A toad-like fishman came ashore.

【Where is it?】

The king asked it to find a turtle carrying a stone tablet on its back, but it searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

After some inquiries, we found out that the turtle was also an alien life form, and it seemed to have entered the ocean from land.

Originally, the Fishman Empire had a ban that prohibited easy entry into the land, but it also understood what would happen if it failed to complete the task given by the King.

The fishman was very worried and began to wander around the waters near the Green Sea and ask around.

However, before it had been ashore for long, it was spotted by a group of crows hovering in the sky.

【There is an intruder! 】

【Intruder spotted! 】

At this time, although General Dark Crow was not there, this group of crows had already developed a habit and knew that when faced with different invasive species, they should find the corresponding generals to resolve them.

Qingwu Lake.

Black Turtle is enjoying a leisurely retirement life. He occasionally trains the Magikarp selected by Lu Ran and teaches him some life lessons. His life has become very comfortable.

However, as a group of crows began to flutter on the lake surface, the black turtle at the bottom of the lake felt a pang in its heart.

“Damn it.”

The old turtle took a look at the Magikarp that had not yet grown up, and felt bad.

How come new troubles have already arisen before the new general has even grown up?

"Forget it, let's go and take a look."

"It shouldn't be a big deal."

"After I finish this last order, I will retire completely!"

The old turtle was conflicted for a long time, but finally, due to the occupational disease he had developed over the past few days, he decided to go and take a look.

It carried the stone tablet that Lu Ranxin had forged for it on its back and glanced at the crows. The next moment, the crows formed a flock and swept the black turtle up with the wind.

"What is this??"

After a while, the merman leader, who was still looking for the stone-back turtle in the green sea, saw a flock of crows flying in the sky.

It narrowed its eyes and could tell from their aura that these crows were weaklings, most of them below level 10.

It can't compare to the level 38 murloc leader.

However, what surprised it next was

The flock of crows actually slowly fell down, and as the black crows dispersed, a giant turtle carrying a stone tablet on its back appeared directly in front of him.

It was as if the flock of crows were the turtle's subordinates and mounts! Seeing the giant stone turtle he had been looking for for a long time finally appear, the fishman's eyes widened in disbelief.

[Ah, you are such a fool. You found so many birds to ride on. My king is not as good as you at riding.]

This fishman seemed to possess special abilities, and the black turtle could hear its words clearly.

Black Turtle's face darkened.

Depend on.

Got fooled.

When it saw the appearance of the "invader", it felt a chill in its heart.

Why is it the fishman again?

It regretted it.

It looked up at the crows in the sky, asking if they could send it back.

However, this group of crows seemed to just accept the gift and had no intention of sending the turtle away until the black turtle solved the problem.

Black Turtle: ??? Dark Crow, right? This is how you train your subordinates, right?

"Wow————" The old turtle looked at the murloc in silence, feeling a little timid. It had a hard time fighting the last one, so this one... must be stronger than the last one.

Is the other party here for revenge? The old turtle had a stomachache because it knew that Lu Ran, Dark Crow and the others were not in the Green Sea these days.

Why, why? Didn't Lu Ran and the others say that the Fishman Empire wouldn't come to cause trouble in the short term? What's this! [Forget it, just die. I've lived enough. It's fine to die like this. At least I don't have to suffer the hardship of living anymore. However, I still want to die naturally...]

However, just when the old turtle thought he was going to die, the fishman's next words made the black turtle stand there in a daze.

Because the other party really didn't come to cause trouble, although, for the Black Turtle, it was no different from causing trouble.

"Woo-ri!" the fishman said.

[You are the commander of this coastal area, right? I heard about you from my subordinates. Your heroic performance has reached the ears of our king, and he is very interested in you. I came here this time to convey the king's will and invite you to be his general and join our Fishman Empire! ]

【Come with me.】

[Don't refuse, or you will miss the chance to change your life. ]

boom.

The next moment, the fishman burst out with a strong energy wave, and the strong wind formed by the energy wave hit the black turtle, leaving it dumbfounded.

"Wow... (I...)" Xuangui was just about to say, let me be a general of the empire, you might as well kill me.

But in a flash, the fishman's expression became increasingly impatient. He instantly leaped over the head of the black turtle and patted the black turtle's head with his fish paw.

It hates communicating with turtles, it's too troublesome.

It’s better to just knock him out and take him away.

After a confrontation, the black turtle was knocked unconscious. The merman leader grabbed one of its legs and walked towards the ocean.

Seeing this scene, the crows were stunned.

…………

after a while.

Antarctica.

With the arrival of Xia State's escort troops.

Lu Ran also returned to reality from Infinite City and planned to go back to Xia Country first.

However, as soon as he came out, Lu Ran found that the store manager Xue Maoying, who was waiting for him outside with the weather elf, had a rather unhappy expression on her face.

"Lu Ran, something happened."

As soon as Lu Ran came out, he was frightened by Manager Ying's solemn expression.

"Ah? What happened?"

Lu Ran was stunned and asked, "Are there hundreds of first-generation experts waiting on the road to kill us?"

"Then why are you going back? I'm not going back. I'm going to go to Infinite City and stay there until I reach level 60..."

Manager Ying curled her lips and said, "Is it possible?"

"It's your Green Sea that's in trouble."

“Damn it.” Lu Ran was startled and said, “Green Sea?? What happened to Green Sea?”

"What could possibly happen to the Green Sea?"

Manager Ying said: "Not long ago, a group of crows landed in my cat-ear maid cafe and banged against the glass frantically, trying to convey some message."

"But my clone in the Green Sea escorted you to Antarctica. No one over there could understand what those crows were trying to say."

"But through the contact of the maid shop staff, my closest avatar who was still in the country rushed over and received bad news."

"What news?" Lu Ran also had a bad feeling in his heart.

"The fishmen from the Fishman Empire have landed in Green Sea City again."

“Could it be that huge damage has been caused?” Lu Ran asked, but the next moment, he felt that it was impossible, because in this case, they should not contact themselves, but should contact the Jinling Association through the Green Sea Association to ask for help.

"That's not the case." Manager Ying said, "I talked to the crows and found out the cause and effect."

"It seems that the murloc that your Black Turtle General defeated earlier ran back and told the murloc prince the news."

"That fishman prince has no intention of seeking revenge, but seems to have set his sights on that old turtle."

"So, this time, they sent people to capture your Black Turtle General and make the old turtle his subordinate."

Lu Ran: ??? “This bastard.” After a moment, Lu Ran cursed directly, his eyes were incredulous.

"You dare to rob my generals."

"But how do you want to get it back?"

“I…” Lu Ran was confused and didn’t understand how such a thing happened to him.

Fortunately, after hearing what Manager Ying said, as long as the turtle admits defeat and surrenders voluntarily, his life should not be in danger. Otherwise, Lu Ran would definitely feel bad.

After all, if he hadn't asked the black turtle to guard the nearby sea, the old turtle wouldn't have encountered such a thing.

But for the Black Turtle, which had always wanted to retire, it was captured by the Murloc Empire and made a general. It must have been very depressed.

Shit, is there something wrong with that murloc prince's brain? He wants a turtle that's over level 20.

"I definitely can't give up on the black turtle. No matter what, I have to save it."

"Manager Ying, do you have any solution?"

Lu Ran was confused. Even if Gu Qingyi was the most proficient naval warrior in Xia Kingdom, he probably wouldn't be able to go to the Fishman Empire to snatch people back.

After a moment of silence, Manager Ying said, "I heard that there is a mermaid princess in the Mermaid Empire. If you become the brother-in-law of that Mermaid Prince, maybe you can get the Black Turtle back..."

"We can't just kill it, we can't defeat it. Otherwise, why don't you level up first? Anyway, the Murloc Empire doesn't seem to have any ill will towards the old turtle. Who knows, with the old turtle's talent, he might even be able to become a general of the Murloc Empire. He has good talent. He hasn't trained seriously, but his level has risen quickly. If he goes to a good place like the deep sea, he will definitely grow faster."

"When the time comes, you will both run towards each other..."

Lu Ran: ??? (End of this chapter)
