As for why the giant tortoise attracted so many lesser demons to surround and kill it, it's not hard to guess.
When Shen Yunhao seized the demon essence, he secretly left the aura of the ancestral dragon's blood in its body.
The turtle demon's cultivation was destroyed, its perception was greatly reduced, and it was also seriously injured. The dragon blood aura was mixed with its own blood, so it could not be detected for a while.
However, this aura had a fatal attraction for the surrounding demons.
What happens next is easier to understand: as long as one monster dares to step forward, it will completely ignite the greed of the other monsters.
The turtle demon, who had previously disregarded the lives of those lesser demons, ultimately died at their hands...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Shen Yunhao aimed in one direction and descended at full speed.
Even so, he still felt that the red carp was getting further and further away from him...
"That turtle wasn't lying to me after all. Even with half its tail cut off, this guy's speed in the water is still not to be underestimated..."
"But... how much longer can you hold on?"
Shen Yunhao smiled coldly, not in a hurry at all, and kept chasing after them at a steady speed.
At the same time, about several dozen miles ahead, a red shadow streaked across the seabed at high speed, just like an underwater torpedo.
Upon closer inspection, the red shadow was a red-tailed carp about the length of an arm, frantically wagging its remaining half of its tail, with blood still seeping from the wound on its back.
Faced with the terrifying strength of Shen Yunhao, Fang Hong dared not linger for even a moment; if she delayed any longer, she might lose her life!
"Almost there! The Blue Dragon Clan's territory is just ahead. Once we get there, we'll be saved!"
But just then, she suddenly felt the fish tail behind her stiffen.
Turning my head, I was immediately startled.
Starting from the severed wound, a thin layer of frost had somehow formed on the surrounding fine red fish scales!
"What the hell is this! Is it that kid's sword intent?"
Fang Hong didn't know when Shen Yunhao would catch up. While suppressing the chill by channeling her spiritual energy, she gritted her teeth and swam forward, wagging her tail.
But the frost was like a bone-deep infection; this level of suppression had no effect whatsoever. Instead, it spread continuously along the gaps in her scales, making her movements increasingly sluggish, and the spiritual energy within her body seemed to be eroded by the cold, hindering its circulation.
"No... this will only make things slower and slower, and we won't be able to hold out until we reach the Blue Dragon Clan's territory. We have to find a way to get rid of this damned cold!"
After hesitating for a moment, the red-tailed carp turned around and dived into the sea. Before long, it saw a huge cave ahead.
"This is... an abandoned underwater mine? If I hide here, that kid might not know my location!"
The carp swam to a secluded corner, transformed into human form, and its lower body and legs were covered with a thick layer of frost.
She forced herself to sit cross-legged and focused her mind to expel the cold.
However, she had been so focused on escaping that the chill had seeped into her bones and could not be dispelled in a short time. After about half an incense stick's time, the frost covering her legs still hadn't dissipated, causing her to curse out loud in anger.
"That damn brat... I'll settle this score with him sooner or later!"
"Really? Let's not wait any longer, let's do it now!"
Accompanied by a cold chuckle, a sword light descended from the sky, its chilling aura sending shivers down Fang Hong's spine!
She immediately twisted her body, her lower body transforming into a red fish tail, its scales glowing red. The next moment, it burst forth like raindrops, meeting the sword light head-on.
Shen Yunhao was slightly taken aback, not expecting that the other party would actually have the courage to resist...
However, Fang Hong's cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Soul Condensation Realm, which was even lower than Shen Yunhao's. With her weapon destroyed, even if she used her strongest methods, she could not pose a great threat to Shen Yunhao.
He raised his sword and swung it, creating a powerful whirlpool in the surrounding seawater that churned up all the scales that were shooting towards him.
But once the attack was neutralized, Fang Hong had vanished without a trace.
Shen Yunhao looked into the distance and saw half of the red tail disappear into a crevice in the cave.
"Are you still playing hide-and-seek with me?"
Shen Yunhao sneered, walked into the cave, and frowned as he looked at the narrow crevice in front of him.
"Is this the underwater mine that Sister Li'er mentioned before?"
After thinking for a moment, he swung his sword and slashed, instantly turning the boulder in front of him into a pile of fragments, but behind it were countless boulders piled up.
"Damn! How long will this go on...? Why didn't anyone tell me before that the demon race's true form could be used in this way..."
Realizing that Shen Yunhao outside couldn't do anything to her for the time being, Fang Hong, deep inside the crevice, breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
However, at that moment, Shen Yunhao's deep voice came.
"Fang...Fang Hong, right? How about we make a deal?"
"..."
The woman suddenly became alert, realizing that it was the turtle demon who had revealed her identity, and immediately cursed inwardly.
But she didn't speak, she just waited for Shen Yunhao to continue.
"I can spare your life, but on the condition that... you have to be my mount for a while and take me to the North Sea Dragon Palace..."
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Hong was deeply shocked.
What's this kid going to do at the Dragon Palace in the North Sea?
Could it be... that he really has a connection with the Dragon Clan, which is why he so recklessly injured Wan Xu?
No! Impossible!
He's definitely lying to me to get out! What happens to me after I get out is entirely up to him!
"What? This is your only choice, otherwise... you will die today!"
The red-tailed carp flicked its tail and burrowed a little deeper into the rocks before stopping to expel the cold.
