Chapter 378 Even Monsters Can Love and Kill Each Other
"Broken Fish, is this the right path?"
After leaving the Crab Demon's cave, the group followed the Dragon Fish through the seabed for a day and a night.
The next day, seeing that the road ahead was becoming increasingly unfamiliar, the old tortoise couldn't help but ask.
Long Jiaoyu ignored him and turned his head away, turning his back on the old turtle.
It didn't want to stoop to its level; it was a worthless jerk with no magnanimity.
It even boasts that it often attends classes with the Master, and it even brags about being knowledgeable and cultured. It keeps talking about "broken fish" and has no manners at all. If it weren't for our childhood friendship, if it weren't for the Master's emphasis that we are friends, not enemies, if it weren't for... well, out of sight, out of mind.
However, the old tortoise became a bit arrogant because of his favored status.
"Master, I don't know if the path that Broken Fish pointed to is the right one. We don't want to turn back and be fooled by it."
"After all, it has a criminal record, and its character is questionable. Also..."
Nima!
Open slander! Open provocation!
Long Jiaoyu's anger flared up instantly; this damned turtle was deliberately provoking trouble.
It didn't care about anything else. Even if its master chanted incantations again, even if it was in excruciating pain, it still had to retaliate. Long Jiaoyu opened its mouth and unleashed a barrage of attacks.
"You lousy turtle, don't think that just because you have a powerful backer, I don't."
"Didn't you say you were influenced by many great Confucian scholars? How come you don't understand even a fraction of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame? How come you're still so petty and narrow-minded, without having picked up any of the good habits of a scholar? What are you bragging about?"
"Didn't you say you go to school every day? Didn't your teacher teach you to respect the elderly and care for the young? I'm a day or two older than you, and you keep calling me 'broken fish' all the time. That's disrespectful to elders. Is that what the school taught you?"
"How can you still be so arrogant? You've never seen the world, you're just a turtle in a well, only daring to guard your familiar territory, never daring to leave even half a step. Cowardly coward..."
Whoops!
This has escalated to a personal attack!
The group sitting on the turtle's back were quite relaxed, as if watching a play. Along the way, the turtle and the fish would occasionally exchange a few words, which everyone turned a blind eye to, and they were used to it. However, they had never been so merciless before.
Yes, that means no mercy!
Seeing the situation escalating, the master had no choice but to speak up and offer advice.
"Ugh--"
"Can you two just shut up? Can you take a break? We can arrange another fight tomorrow when you have time. For now, let's prioritize the bigger picture and try to get along amicably, okay?"
"Once the Dragon Gate matter is settled, even if you develop six horns, no one will care about you."
"I'm talking to you! Put those claws away."
Finally, the grandmaster pointed at the dragon-shaped fish's claws and threatened it.
The latter lowered its head and retracted its claws, muttering, "Hmph, I can grow horns after crossing the Dragon Gate, but it might not. With just a few short legs, it's not even enough for someone to chop off."
"Puch-"
"Hahaha."
Long Jiaoyu's muttering was actually quite loud; it had achieved its goal.
It wasn't very harmful, but it was extremely insulting, and it successfully humiliated the old turtle once again.
Wenwen and the others burst into laughter.
Even my master's eyebrows were flying wildly, what a helpless situation!
Seeing that the old turtle was about to breathe heavily through its nostrils again, Wenwen stopped laughing and said.
"Uncle Turtle, you're the one nitpicking again. I've said it before, I'll help those who are right, not those who are close to me."
"You'd better keep your mouth shut for the rest of the way. This is the last warning."
"Either I give you a mute pill, or you throw yourself into the oil. You choose. I'm serious, I'm not kidding."
"And you, Uncle Long, you can just recite your master's incantation whenever you want. You'd better watch yourself."
Wenwen then asked, "Uncle Long, why haven't we encountered any monsters along the way? Is this the right route?"
Really? Is this the right path?
The others all wanted to know.
We spent the entire day and night rushing on our journey. Not only were there no monsters around, but we also didn't have time to gather supplies. We watched helplessly as so many resources and supplies slipped away right under our noses. What a pity, what a painful experience, it was truly regrettable.
For those who are used to taking advantage of loopholes, this is such a painful realization!
"Uncle Long, can we stop for a bit? Even without monsters, catching some small fish and shrimp wouldn't be a wasted trip!" Wen Chengbin tentatively suggested.
Long Jiaoyu took several deep breaths before speaking.
"This is a smooth road that I spent a lot of time figuring out. It's fast and safe."
"Actually, this road is just a little off-center from the area where monsters gather. We're in a hurry right now, so there's no need to waste time on some small fry."
No sooner had Long Jiaoyu finished speaking than a soft hum came from the old turtle's nostrils.
Wenwen pretended to tap the turtle's back lightly, warning the turtle to keep its mouth shut, or else she would be ruthless.
The old turtle secretly glanced at Long Jiaoyu, inwardly looking down on him.
Don't be fooled by Long Jiaoyu's sweet words and grand pronouncements. He's actually a coward. He's been cunning and opportunistic since he was a child. Nobody believes him when he says he's in a hurry. This guy must have a big plan, otherwise he wouldn't be so self-deprecating. He can fool others, but he can't fool me.
The old tortoise grumbled inwardly, but unfortunately, it could only keep these thoughts to itself.
As for what the old turtle was thinking, Long Jiaoyu didn't care. However, it could clearly see the disappointment on the faces of the teenagers.
"Once the Dragon Gate matter is settled, I'll take you somewhere where the monsters are even more powerful than here."
"Let's not even mention the small fish and shrimp here."
Long Jiaoyu's expression was indifferent, seemingly looking down on the resources here.
"Really? Are there many demonic beasts over there? How high are their cultivation levels?"
The boys were immediately aroused and their competitive spirit was ignited, while Long Jiaoyu smiled slyly.
"It's true, there are many demonic beasts there, several levels higher than those in this mountain range, most of them at the sixth level of Qi Refining. With your current cultivation, you might have a slight chance of winning if you gang up on them, hahaha."
Wen Chengjian, Wen Chengbin, and Ye Jingchuan all turned to look at Long Jiaoyu at the same time. This guy actually knows how to joke and tease them now.
That's really strange!
However, the information revealed in Long Jiaoyu's words made the group take it seriously.
"Uncle Long, what's that place over there?"
"Qiwahai".
"Is that the place that displays the six-hour clock?"
Long Jiaoyu nodded. "Yes."
Afterwards, the group surrounded Long Jiaoyu and bombarded her with questions, almost digging out everything she knew.
Sugar-coated bullets, a red date and a slap—Long Jiaoyu tasted them all.
A demon beast is a demon beast. Even if it has gained intelligence and its cultivation is not low, it still has to deal with a few cunning young men, Wenwen's sweet words, Wen Qiyuan's occasional concern, and finally the threats and intimidation from its master.
Long Jiaoyu poured out all the information she had accumulated in her mind from childhood to adulthood.
After the conversation, everyone's friendship was greatly enhanced.
Just as Long Jiaoyu's brain cells were about to be drained, a beam of light appeared in front of him.
