Please comfort me master!

Even without checking, he knew their mouths would be swollen.

You XiaoMo felt three black lines going down the side of his face. He was hoping they would take a bite out of the Psychic Black Turtle’s head and not its hard shell. Even if they could bite through the shell, it wasn’t going to do any critical damage to it.

You XiaoMo hid them back in his shirt and after he gave some thought to the problem, he decided to call out the Metal Swallowing Beast.

This was the true ‘metal-eating’ professional, no matter the hardness of the metal, he could eat it like tofu. There was no way he couldn’t even bite through turtle skin, right?

The Metal Swallowing Beast gave the ‘leave it up to me’ expression, as eating through turtle skin was a piece of cake for him. Although it was going to taste bad, but as long as master gave him some reward then that was fine. Perhaps with something like that, a few cups would be just perfect.

He sure planned it nicely.

You XiaoMo confirmed that as long as he got the job done, the reward was going to be plenty.

However–

With his chest held high, the Metal Swallowing Beast left You XiaoMo’s air-tight hug. Soon his quacking noise was heard as the rapid currents flowed against him. Exerting all of his strength, his claws clinged to the edge of the turtle shell. If You XiaoMo hadn’t scooped him up on time, he would’ve already been flushed away with the current.

Badly shaken, the Metal Swallowing Beast cuddled in his master arms.

You XiaoMo sincerely thought that he shouldn’t have placed his bets on the beast, that was a really stupid move. By the looks of things, he still had to rely on himself.

After that series of mishaps, You XiaoMo didn’t know how far the Psychic Black Turtle had swam, maybe tens of thousands of meters already. It’s speed hadn’t dropped at all, since Xuan Ze used everything in his power to shake them off. Even though he could’ve turned back to human form, he wasn’t taking any chances.

That was because his human form wasn’t as strong as his original form. He could tell that You XiaoMo was stronger than him, thus his only option was to use his original form and win with stamina.

Due to the Psychic Black Turtle’s large movements, it took all You XiaoMo had to stabilize himself and not only that, all of demon beasts he brought along were useless. If this kept up, Xuan Ze could very well bring him to where his comrades were.

In the depth of the sea, through the darkness only a few rays of light could be seen. Sometimes a wacky looking deep-sea creature would swim pass, but it would quickly be swept by the current, even groups of fishes.

Mid-way through, he had coincidently seen a group of sea-creatures that looked very much like crocodiles swimming past, seemingly in migration.However, due to the passing of the Psychic Black Turtle, the group was scattered and some were swept very far away.

Just as You XiaoMo was feeling troubled, the baby turtle, who was quietly nestled in his shirt, suddenly crawled out of his collar.

Fearing that he would be washed away by the current, You XiaoMo freaked out as he hurriedly dragged the little guy back. The little guy had no fighting power in him at all and with the vastness of the ocean, if he was swept away, there was no way he was going to find him again. What was he going to then?
