Chapter 275 - Xuanwu Armor
Chapter 275 Xuanwu Armor
The Aquamarine Turtle Tribe’s territory was a relatively remote area of the sea.
There were large kelp beds nearby, and they seemed to be specially cultivated.
It was like a farm, with some kelps being cultivated individually.
From a distance, it looked like a marine farm.
Apart from the first time, some big sea turtles hadn’t transformed yet.
If Zhou Feng weren’t mistaken, those giant sea turtles were grazing some fish and shrimp.
Such a scene made Zhou Feng feel very curious.
These sea turtles could not only grow kelp but also graze in this sea area.
It was almost the same as the humans on land.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Gather our tribesmen! The ancestor of our tribe is back!”
The moment Gui Jiusan returned, he immediately gathered his tribesmen.
What the Aquamarine Turtle Tribe needed most was not something else but a backbone.
The Ghost Shark Tribe had defeated the Aquamarine Turtle Tribe in the battle not long ago. Not only did they lose their original territory, but they even lost their tribe’s treasury.
Theip Chieftain had died on the spot, and less than ten elites were left.
Now, the entire Aquamarine Turtle Tribe was in a dispirited state.
Without external help, it would be almost impossible to survive in this cruel sea.
After all, their tribe was only proficient in planting and grazing.
This was a skill that the other aquatic tribes did not have.
With this skill, the Aquamarine Turtle Tribe did not need to fight at all to obtain enough food.
“Chieftain!?”
“Does our Aquamarine Turtle Tribe still have a Chieftain?”
Although they did not know what was going on, many people still gathered here.
Soon, a group of Aquamarine Turtles surrounded Zhou Feng.
Among them, there were only a dozen or so who had transformed, and there were only a few dozen who had not.
They could be considered all the tribesmen in the Aquamarine Turtle Tribe.
From the looks of it, it was indeed a little shabby.
A few dozen sea turtles were staring at Zhou Feng, and this feeling was bizarre.
“Chieftain! Please save us!”
Gui Jiusan was the first to speak, and the moment he opened his mouth, he asked Zhou Feng to save them.
It was clear that he wanted to put him under peer pressure.
He did not expect that this old turtle still had some tricks up his sleeve.
However, Zhou Feng did not react at all. He was not a genuine Aquamarine Turtle, so he didn’t have any feelings for them.
There was no way he would waste his energy to help these sea turtles.
If he was unhappy, he could leave at any time.
There was no need to explain so much.
The atmosphere immediately turned cold due to Zhou Feng’s lack of reaction.
The other sea turtles didn’t know what to do.
In their eyes, Zhou Feng was a powerful member of their race, but this member didn’t seem to think much of them.
In addition, these Aquamarine Turtles were generally slow-witted.
This was kind of awkward.
“Our tribe actually still has an inheritance! As long as…”
Compared to the other slow-witted tribesmen, Gui Jiusan appeared extremely intelligent.
One had to know that compared to the human race, the intelligence of the other races was basically lower.
The intelligence of aquatic creatures, or rather demonic and spirit beasts, could only catch up to the human race only upon transforming to Daemons.
Their brain capacity was relatively low before transforming, regardless of whether it came demonic or spirit beasts.
This was actually one of the advantages of the human race. Their bodies might not be as strong as the other races’, but their intelligence was far superior.
“An inheritance?”
Zhou Feng immediately realized that Gui Jiusan was negotiating with him.
“That’s right! This is a treasure passed down from generations of my Aquamarine Turtle Tribe! This should be of some help to the Chieftain!”
A wisp of wisdom flashed through Gui Jiusan’s eyes at this moment. This was a stark contrast to the dazed sea turtles around him.
‘The inheritance of the Aquamarine Turtle Tribe?’
The trace of interest that had just risen in Zhou Feng’s heart vanished instantly when he heard this.
This was because this kind of inheritance was generally limited to a race’s bloodline.
Although he could rely on the passive Bloodline Simulation to simulate the Aquamarine Turtle bloodline, he wasn’t an Aquamarine Turtle. The inheritance of the Aquamarine Turtle Tribe didn’t seem to be of much use to him.
“I don’t have time to waste!”
A hint of impatience appeared on Zhou Feng’s face.
Zhou Feng had come here to find the Human Emperor’s land of heritage and the second half of the Human Emperor Scripture.
Although he felt like a fish in water due to the passive Bloodline Simulation and Underwater Breathing, Zhou Feng was not a real aquatic creature.
He was not used to staying underwater for a long time. It was better to end this trip as soon as possible.
After hearing his conditions, Gui Jiusan did not expect Zhou Feng to be unmoved. He even showed a hint of impatience.
Now, Gui Jiusan understood that he had to bring out something good.
Only then could he persuade Zhou Feng to help the current Aquamarine Turtle Tribe.
Moreover, this was Gui Jiusan’s rare opportunity.
It was not easy for him to meet someone of his race.
Although the Aquamarine Turtle Tribe had some foundation, they would not dare to ask non-acquainted experts under normal circumstances.
In that case, the best-case scenario would be to be annexed and become the vassal of the other aquatic tribes.
The worst-case scenario would be the death of the entire tribe.
The competition in the sea was that cruel.
It was only today that he was lucky enough to meet a member of his race who came to the Southern Sea from another place.
This made Gui Jiusan summon up his courage and exchange the tribe’s legacy for Zhou Feng to protect the current Aquamarine Turtle Tribe.
Zhou Feng should not be as ruthless as the other aquatic creatures.
After thinking for a while, Gui Jiusan looked at the dazed sea turtles around him.
There were also those carefree little sea turtles playing around.
He gnashed his teeth. “If the ancestor protects us for a period, I am willing to offer a scale of the Xuanwu armor!”
Gui Jiusan was showing his cards now.
At the same time, his aura changed, and he turned into a refined and wise old man.
Zhou Feng finally understood that Gui Jiusan was just pretending.
There were also some old ancestors who had shouted on purpose. The purpose was probably to support Zhou Feng so that he would lower his guard.
But what shocked Zhou Feng the most was that there were the Black Tortoise scales on the old turtle’s body.
“Black Tortoise?”
Zhou Feng confirmed again.
“That’s right! They’re from the Black Tortoise!”
Gui Jiusan automatically lowered his voice.
The Black Tortoise was also known as Xuanwu. It was a combination of tortoise and snake and a powerful spirit beast.
The first Human Emperor had even fought with it in the past.
The Human Emperor had been supreme, suppressing the world at that time. Other than killing true dragons to make the nine-dragon robe, he had also wanted to make a battle armor, and the scales on the Black Tortoise’s body were the best choice.
Therefore, the Human Emperor had fought with the Black Tortoise before.
However, the Human Emperor had not succeeded at that time, and the Black Tortoise disappeared after that fight.
This was a legend that Zhou Feng had accidentally stumbled upon when he was looking for the Human Emperor Scripture.
A piece of Black Tortoise’s scale armor was actually on a big sea turtle.
No wonder this big sea turtle looked so much like the Turtle Prime Minister. He must have had some other fortuitous encounter!
