Chapter 299: The Lingyun Turtle with Unlimited Growth
The next morning.
Zhou Qing and Tang San still got up early, and Romantina, Xiao Wu, and You Hui also got up early and did radio gymnastics together to activate their blood circulation.
After breakfast, Zhou Qing went with Tang San to Uncle Wang's house to help set Uncle Wang's bones and provide treatment.
The main force of treatment was Tang San, and Zhou Qing only helped to apply medicine and bring water.
Two hours later, Tang San wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Wang: "Auntie Wang, I have already reattached Uncle Wang's broken leg bones and ribs. Fortunately, the injury is not too serious and there are not many broken bones, otherwise it would be difficult to treat.
According to the prescription I gave, I boiled the medicine and applied the plaster for Uncle Wang. Within half a year, Uncle Wang should be able to walk.
I drew pictures of the corresponding herbs on the prescription. More than 90% of the herbs can be found in the mountains and forests near Shenghun Village, which can save a lot of costs."
"My dear little auntie, I have no way to repay you. If you don't mind, let's make a promise. If I give birth to a daughter, I will marry you. If you don't like her, you can just let her be my maid. If I give birth to a son, I will work like a slave for you!" When Wang saw that Uncle Wang's pale face had a little blood in it after he fell asleep, she knelt down immediately.
Tang San was a little overwhelmed.
Zhou Qing immediately helped her up and said, "Auntie Wang, there's no need. We are all from the same village, and it's only natural for us to help each other. If you really want to thank me, don't you have peaches planted at home? When they bear fruit, just send us a basket to try."
"Yes, Aunt Wang, it's really not necessary." Tang San also reacted immediately, but he didn't dare to accept Aunt Wang's promise, otherwise it would only add to the embarrassment when walking in the village in the future.
It took the two of them a long time to persuade Wang to let go of the matter.
But after Zhou Qing and Tang San left Uncle Wang's house, Wang was full of regret and complained to her son, "You ignorant son, why don't you help me? If I really give birth to a daughter, I may be closer to you. You have a brother-in-law who is a spirit master, and it will be easier for you to find a wife in the future."
The twelve-year-old son really didn't "understand" and asked earnestly, "But, Mom, will you definitely give birth to a sister?"
"Looks like your butt is itchy!"
Although Wang was pregnant, she nimbly picked up the feather duster beside her.
The son saw this and broke out in a cold sweat. He ran out of the house, shouting, "Mom, I'm going to the field to check on the crops to prevent them from being eaten by field mice!"
-
After Zhou Qing and Tang San left Uncle Wang's house, they went upstream along the stream and found the Lingyun turtle basking in the sun.
During this period of time, the body of the Lingyun Turtle has become larger than before, and the number of leaves of the natural tree on its back has reached five.
Seeing Zhou Qing and Tang San, the Lingyun Turtle moved its short limbs and crawled towards them, opening its mouth, as if asking: Where have you been these days?
Zhou Qing squatted down, touched the Lingyun Turtle's head, and said with a smile: "It really is a good psychic turtle. Do you still remember us?"
"Is this a Lingyun turtle?"
Xiao Wu rushed out from behind and jumped directly onto the back of Lingyun Turtle, scaring it so much that it trembled with fear.
The aura of a hundred thousand year old soul beast is at the level of a natural disaster for soul beasts of lower age, and it is a natural disaster that cannot be avoided.
So, the Lingyun Turtle simply retracted its limbs and head into its shell. "You scared it."
Zhou Qing pulled Xiao Wu off the Lingyun Turtle's shell, fearing that she would be so impetuous that she would pull the Tree of Nature off the turtle's back.
"Strange, why is this Lingyun turtle so afraid of you?"
Tang San noticed this, but Xiao Wu didn't explain it, just made up a random sentence to fool him, saying: "Lingyun Turtle is also a turtle, a turtle with its head tucked in, isn't it normal?"
Zhou Qing also changed the subject and asked, "Do you also know this Lingyun Turtle?"
"Of course!"
Xiao Wu sat back on the turtle shell, looking at the natural tree on it, and said with a smile, "My parents and two younger brothers also played... ahem, and studied the Lingyun turtle. It takes time for this kind of turtle to reach the ten thousand year level. But after reaching ten thousand years, it will completely merge with the plants on its back. The Lingyun turtle will be very powerful. I heard that the ten thousand year level Lingyun turtle has its own world and can gather a large group of soul beasts to provide them with a place to live, and they will also help protect the safety of the Lingyun turtle."
"However, it is said that most of the Lingyun turtles that are over ten thousand years old will go to the sea, and after death, their bodies will turn into an island."
This was a statement Zhou Qing had never seen in the "Martial Soul Encyclopedia", but compared to human soul masters' understanding of soul beasts, he was more willing to believe what Xiao Wu said. After all, she was the incarnation of a 100,000-year-old soft-bone rabbit, and her accuracy should be higher than what the soul masters of this era have explored.
"Turned into an island on the sea?" Tang San looked at the Lingyun Turtle which was only two meters long, and could already imagine how huge it would be when it reached the ten thousand year level.
Zhou Qing asked, "There should be a limit to the size of soul beasts. Even a powerful 100,000-year soul beast would only be about a hundred meters in size at most, right?"
The size of a soul beast will not increase infinitely with the improvement of its cultivation level. There is a limit. After reaching that limit, its cultivation level can continue to improve, but its body size will be difficult to grow larger.
Like the deep-sea demon whale king in the original novel, even though he had cultivated for nearly a million years, his length was only two hundred meters.
"This is what makes the Lingyun Turtle so special."
Xiao Wu said something that was not described in the Soul Beast Encyclopedia, "Among all soul beasts, the Spiritual Rhythm Turtle is the most special one. Its size can continue to increase with its cultivation. There are even rumors that part of the continent under our feet is the corpse of one or several Spiritual Rhythm Turtles whose cultivation far exceeds the 100,000-year level."
“Is this just a fantasy?”
If it were that kind of super powerful fantasy world, Zhou Qing would believe that there would indeed be such strange turtle creatures, but are there similar creatures among the soul beasts of Douluo Continent?
If we look at the entire universe, Zhou Qing believes it is possible, but Douluo Continent...
suddenly!
Zhou Qing suddenly had an idea and felt that this was not impossible.
In the Douluo series, the time between Douluo II and Douluo I is only ten thousand years. In just ten thousand years, can the Sun-Moon Continent collide with the Douluo Continent?
Is the Sun-Moon Continent very close to the Douluo Continent?
If this were true, the natives of Douluo Continent during the Douluo I period would certainly have discovered that there was no reason for the continent to still be in a three-way balance of power, and they would have certainly transferred their internal conflicts to other continents.
And just looking at the description in the original book, it seems like a sudden collision, not a normal continental drift process...
During the Douluo II period, other gods in the God Realm still existed. It was impossible for the Great God King Tang to be so blatant. Tang Hao and Ah Yin, who lived in seclusion on Douluo Star, wanted to push another continent to collide with Douluo Continent... Do two second-level gods have that kind of power? Not to mention that at this time, they could never completely become the Lord of the Plane and the Core of Life.
But if the Sun-Moon Continent is not the real continental plate of the planet, but is formed by the corpses of one or several extremely powerful Lingyun turtles, and is truly "floating", then it is possible that it will collide with the Douluo Continent within just ten thousand years.
