Chapter 800: Chapter 794: This Way, Please
Under the lock of the Illusion-Piercing Eye, David Jones quickly hurried to the battlefield.
“Green turtle, hand over the key to the Dragon Palace quickly, or don’t blame me for cracking your shell with a clamp.”
The creature speaking was a massive lobster, around four or five meters in length, with a bright blue shell covering its body.
“Abyssal dragon language!” David Jones’s eyes lit up as he listened silently to the conversation between the two beasts.
Learning more knowledge certainly paid off these days!
If he hadn’t had Gluttonous Beast collect various ancient beast languages from the ancient times, he probably wouldn’t have understood the communication between the sea creatures.
“Key to the Dragon Palace? If I had such a treasure, I would have entered the Dragon Palace to search for treasures and enjoy myself long ago,” the green turtle said with a voice full of bitterness.
It wasn’t stupid; it was obvious that the other party just wanted to find an excuse to beat it up and harvest some soul crystals of the Spirit Sea to use for cultivation.
The soul crystal of Spirit Sea was a relatively rare genius earth treasure, not something ordinary turtles possessed, but the Bright Heart Turtle species could incubate it through the shell on their back.
As a Level VII Water SS tier resource, the effect of the soul crystals of Spirit Sea was very straightforward.
It could not only increase the cultivation speed of marine beasts, but also purify the bloodline of the Water beast species, and it was also essential for the Bright Heart Turtle to evolve into the Overlord species Pure Mysterious Turtle.
“How dare you talk back!” The lobster became enraged by embarrassment and swung its huge claws.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Every hit of the lobster’s claws sounded like thunder and stirred up waves so hot they were visible to the naked eye, instantly killing numerous peculiar little fish at the bottom of the sea.
“Interesting, have I been discovered?” David Jones scanned the surroundings.
He didn’t believe in such coincidences!
He had just arrived at the sea area of the West Sea Dragon Palace when he happened to encounter two marine beasts fighting over the key to the Dragon Palace.
The fact that he just happened to encounter this, and also just happened to have the ability to stop it…
All these coincidences combined made David Jones feel that there was a trap waiting for him ahead.
After hesitating for a moment, David Jones activated his Illusion-Piercing Eye towards the green turtle.
“Pet Name”: Bright Heart Turtle
“Pet Type”: Water
“Species Level”: King
“Grade”: Class VI middle-level
“Species Skill”: Spirit Sea Shell, Dazzling Water Rays, Swift Healing…
“Pet Profile”: Bright Heart Turtle can evolve into Pure Mysterious Turtle, and if its luck is profound, it can further evolve into the Emperor species, the Sea-Saving Turtle.
In the legends, every Sea-Saving Turtle bears the duty of protecting the peace of the Dragon Palace. Among them, the most outstanding can become the prime minister of the Dragon Palace and gain the power to command the sea beasts.
Seeing this, David Jones suddenly became interested.
Well, this turtle actually came from a privileged lineage, with ancestors who were prime ministers of the Dragon Palace.
He wanted to enter the West Sea Dragon Palace to find traces of the Candle Dragon Palace, and this turtle could be useful; it couldn’t just be killed by a plate of lobster meat.
To resolve the battle as quickly as possible, David Jones handed over control of his body to Daphne.
“Whoosh!”
The next instant, Daphne turned into a dazzling silver light and appeared on the battlefield.
“Who is it?” Cold Moon Lobster quickly dropped the turtle’s shell from its clamps and instinctively bounced and retreated with its tail.
However, Daphne was faster than the lobster’s reflexes; before the lobster could react, the scorching Destiny Flame washed over its face, completely melting the thick shell.
“Sizzle!”
Suddenly smelling the tempting scent of lobster meat, the Bright Heart Turtle shuddered in fear, worried about meeting the same fate.
“I’m not tasty; this is the soul crystal of the Spirit Sea, please spare my life!”
Its head obediently peeked out from within the shell, still holding onto a thin but tough pocket-sized carapace in its mouth, which bore obscure wave-like patterns.
“It’s not a trap after all!”
Seeing the reaction of the Bright Heart Turtle, David Jones was somewhat surprised.
He had been ready to sacrifice an avatar, but now it seemed that it really was just a coincidence.
“You answer my questions, or it will be your fate,” David Jones said coldly.
“Yes,” the Bright Heart Turtle trembled.
Under intense fear, it failed to notice that David Jones’s usage of the abyssal language had a strange accent, somewhat similar to the abyssal dragon language.
“Who is now the master of the Dragon Palace?”
Hearing this odd question, the Bright Heart Turtle was stunned.
All the sea beasts within a million miles knew the Dragon Palace was masterless. Could this individual be a Beast from another sea area?
No wonder it had never seen such a strange Beast, whose aura was scorching and eyes blazed like the sun.
“To date, no beast has been able to enter the Dragon Palace, so I am not clear if there is a master at all, and I dare not spout nonsense before you, but one thing I can confirm is that the gates of the Dragon Palace haven’t been opened for a very long time.”
“Exactly how long?”
The Bright Heart Turtle looked up at Daphne and said cautiously, “At least a thousand years.”
David Jones recalled the profile of the Bright Heart Turtle, a Beast that would hibernate once a year for one month. A thousand years meant the Dragon Palace hadn’t been opened for a thousand years.
That is to say, the gates of the West Sea Dragon Palace had not been opened for a thousand years, and the Palace was most likely unclaimed!
Upon learning this, David Jones didn’t know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.
A masterless Dragon Palace meant he could possibly claim it, but it also made finding the Candle Dragon Palace more difficult.
“Very well, hand over the key to the Dragon Palace,” David Jones said, getting straight to the point.
The Bright Heart Turtle widened its eyes, for it was just a weak and helpless turtle, without any key to the Dragon Palace.
Watching David Jones’s imposing gaze, it quickly offered up the soul crystal of Spirit Sea it had in its mouth.
“Not this,” David Jones skillfully took the soul crystal, staring intently at the Bright Heart Turtle.
He was no ignorant Beast; he could roughly identify the origin and effects of anything with a single glance.
Seeing this, the turtle couldn’t help but swallow nervously, feeling its life was on the line.
After a minute of eye contact, it had a flash of inspiration and turned to look at the sea behind it.
“I do not have the Dragon Palace key, but I know where it might be,” the turtle said.
“Take me there,” David Jones commanded.
Hearing this, the Bright Heart Turtle sighed in relief, nodding repeatedly, knowing it had temporarily survived.
Still the clever turtle, it thought, diverting trouble elsewhere.
The stranger was after treasures, after all, and it had not been beaten all these years for nothing.
It knew like the back of its own flipper which Beast in the sea area of ten thousand miles had the most treasures.
“Over here! Please follow me!”
Seeing the suddenly excited Bright Heart Turtle, a serious look flashed in David Jones’s eyes.
After arriving in the deep sea, he had also sensed that something was amiss with the Dragon Palace.
Otherwise, David Jones wouldn’t have immediately sought information from the local Beasts.
First, the concentration of Arcane Force was so high around the Dragon Palace, yet no sea Beast had claimed it.
Second, generally speaking, where the Arcane Force is denser, the stronger the sea Beasts should be. However, there were only a few Class VI weaklings near the Dragon Palace and no Class VIII Emperor Beasts claiming the area, this didn’t align with the distribution rules of Beasts.
Third, and most important, the closer he got to the Dragon Palace, the stronger the premonition of death became. It was Daphne’s Destiny giving an advance warning.
