The scimitar seemed to have eyes. It used its curved blade to make a turn and recharge its power, directly chopping off one of the three heads in half, and the knife was embedded in its neck.
The giant mutant turtle screamed and roared in pain, staying on the water surface and twisting its body wildly, trying to relieve the pain.
Chen Yao frowned, still a little short...
Unexpectedly, the skin of this giant mutant turtle was so thick that not only could she not cut it through, but it also retained her knife.
She gritted her teeth and was hesitating whether to jump over and kill it cleanly and take the knife back at the same time -
My hand suddenly felt cold.
He Jingqian came over at some point, put a new big knife in her hand, then leaped in front of her like a gust of wind and attacked the giant mutant turtle that was still twisting its body.
Chen Yao, holding the new knife, immediately followed his pace.
He Jingqian had already chopped off the head with her scimitar embedded in it, returned the scimitar to her, and then chopped off the other head with another slash close to its face.
Now, all that's left is the last head.
After having its two heads chopped off in a row, the giant mutant turtle was extremely angry and attacked He Jingqian and Shen Yao while roaring.
It stretched out its sharp claws and rushed towards He Jingqian and Shen Yao without any hesitation, leaving no trace of strength.
He Jingqian and Shen Yao were busy dodging while looking for an opportunity to chop off its last head.
However, whether it was because it was too angry or for some other reason, it was still full of energy and playing around with them, and it was even more flexible, making it impossible for them to attack it at all.
Gradually...
He Jingqian and Shen Yao had exhausted most of their energy and physical strength, as had the team members behind them.
If they continue like this, they will only be at a greater disadvantage.
Chen Yao pursed her lips tightly, thinking about how to break the current situation.
At the same time, He Jingqian was also thinking of a way to break the deadlock.
Because he frequently uses psychic powers and gold powers, although his physical strength can still be maintained, his energy is not as sufficient. If he continues to consume it like this... the attack will only become more difficult.
He clenched his hands and began to closely watch the giant mutant turtle's every move, trying to find its weakness.
Chen Yao was also closely watching the giant mutant turtle's every move, wondering where else it had soft spots that could be easily attacked, apart from its neck and four limbs.
Just then—
She suddenly heard the system's voice:
system:! ! !
System: "Master, this mutant turtle has a large crystal core inside its body. If you can absorb it, you might be able to unleash supernatural powers!"
Chen Yao asked: "Then do you know where exactly its crystal core is located in its body?"
System: "Probably near the center of its abdomen."
Chen Yao's eyes flashed rapidly, and a bold idea suddenly came to her mind.
She asked the system, "System, can you detect whether the shell on the belly of this giant mutant turtle is hard or soft?"
System: "Let me try."
Chen Yao had forgotten where she had seen someone say before that some turtles would become soft due to illness or lack of sun exposure for a long time.
So, if the giant mutant turtle in front of her happened to have a soft shell, wouldn't it be much easier for her to just pierce its belly with a knife?
Moreover, that is also an essential step in obtaining the crystal core.
After the test, the system told Chen Yao, "Host, you are amazing. This mutant turtle does have a piece of soft shell on its abdomen. Moreover, it looks like it has some signs of decay, which indicates a problem."
Chen Yao was now certain, so she didn't need to waste another knife to test it. She could just aim directly at its abdomen and attack.
So, while the giant mutant turtle was still lying on its back and going crazy, she began to find ways to get closer to its belly.
He Jingqian quickly stopped her upon seeing this and warned her, "You're too close. It's dangerous. Step back and let me do it."
Chen Yao acted as if she didn't hear anything and continued trying to circle around the giant mutant turtle.
After more than ten seconds, she finally found a good opportunity and rushed forward.
He Jingqian reacted quickly and followed her almost as soon as he saw her rushing forward.
Chen Yao thrust the big knife in her hand directly into the center of the giant mutant turtle's abdomen, and then spun it in a circle forcefully.
He Jingqian helped her and accidentally held her hand to support her.
The giant mutant turtle was suddenly attacked, and bent down in pain and anger, stretching out its claws to slap He Jingqian and Shen Yao hard.
He Jingqian hugged Chen Yao and dodged the knife in time. The giant mutant turtle missed the target and sank its belly into the lake with a roar of anger, leaving only its hard back shell exposed. It continued to attack them by waving its claws.
Chen Yao came out of He Jingqian's arms and said to him, "Let's split up. You go over there and I'll stay here."
He Jingqian nodded.
However, just as he left Chen Yao and walked to the other side, something unexpected happened -
Before everyone could see what was happening, the giant mutant turtle had already dragged Chen Yao and sank into the lake at lightning speed.
Only a loud "boom" was left.
After they sank, high splashes of water rose from the surface of the lake, like a natural barrier, blocking the sight of everyone present.
"Chen Yao!"
"Chen Yao!"
"Chen Yao..."
Everyone in the team exclaimed, their expressions filled with panic, worry and fear.
He Jingqian's face turned pale in an instant, and he felt so sad that his heart seemed to have stopped beating.
The person who was alive just now suddenly disappeared before his eyes. He felt empty in his heart, and there seemed to be a little dull pain.
He frowned and covered his heart, threw down the knife in his hand, and said to all the team members behind him: "You stay where you are and guard it. I will go to rescue people."
Then, without hesitation, he jumped into the cold, dark lake.
Everyone only heard a "bang" and saw the splashing water in the lake, and then He Jingqian disappeared.
Xie Xu'an murmured, "Then... the bottom of the lake is full of mutant species, right?"
Zhang Qi: "Nine out of ten."
Xie Xuan covered his mouth: "That Chen Yao... the captain... they..." Isn't it very dangerous?
He swallowed the rest of the words in his throat and didn't say them out loud.
Zhang Qi patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "If they don't come up in ten minutes, I'll go down."
Xie Xu'an: "I'll go with you."
