Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 318 - 317: Stealing the Twin-Lotus of Violet and Azure

Chapter 318: Chapter 317: Stealing the Twin-Lotus of Violet and Azure

This yellow light silently passed through the void, shooting towards Gu Yuan. It seemed to carry little momentum, but in reality, it contained a strong sense of danger.

At the very least, Gu Yuan’s hair stood on end, feeling an intense death threat!

He had just enough time to gather water vapor from all around, transforming it into layers of transparent water barriers in front of him.

At the same time, a bronze bracelet appeared, floating above Gu Yuan’s head, casting out beams of light to envelop him.

The water barriers Gu Yuan deployed seemed like a thin layer, but in reality, each layer was condensed from the Gui Water Qi and Water Spirit Qi between heaven and earth using his own cultivation.

They appeared as thin as paper, yet were much more solid than walls forged from fine steel.

Several layers intercepted in front; even if a flying sword struck, as long as it wasn’t from a sword cultivator of his level, it certainly couldn’t break through.

Even if it broke through, the bronze bracelet magical artifact above Gu Yuan’s head would intercept it.

It must be said that this bronze bracelet magical artifact was one Gu Yuan selected from among many of his spoils of war, and its quality was not low. It was an upper-grade magical artifact with fifty-four layers of restriction, just a step away from being a top-grade magical artifact.

Such a good item, with both offensive and defensive functions, wasn’t much inferior to Gu Yuan’s Silver Flood Dragon Sword.

But now, this item was being used by Gu Yuan as a disposable magical artifact.

Since he planned to acquire those purple lotus, naturally, he had to pay a certain price. At the very least, he couldn’t reveal any flaw; otherwise, if this group of stone demon crocodiles, especially the leading stone demon dragon crocodile with quite high intelligence, detected something, exposing a flaw would be truly counterproductive!

Of course, the Gu Yuan present was not his true body, but a doppelganger condensed using the Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Techniques.

When it comes to matters concerning his life, Gu Yuan is often quite cautious.

The purple lotus is precious, that’s true, but compared to his life, there’s no comparison.

Without the purple lotus, Gu Yuan actually wouldn’t lose much.

At most, he could think of other methods, or steadily cultivate step by step; he would still have the chance to tread the path of longevity in the future.

But if he lost his life, there would be nothing left.

After setting up the defenses, the yellow light shot towards him.

Chichichi—

Under this yellow light, the layers of transparent water barriers set up by Gu Yuan were easily pierced through, like thin paper; the light merely dimmed slightly.

Even the spiritual light from the bronze bracelet magical artifact above his head was penetrated by the yellow light.

Crack! Crack!

The bronze bracelet magical artifact above Gu Yuan’s head let out a mournful cry, the light dimmed, and even a few cracks appeared on it.

Obviously, this magical artifact was now wasted.

Immediately after, the chopstick-thick yellow light fell upon Gu Yuan’s body.

Chii!

Gu Yuan’s body stiffened, and his originally fleeing movements came to a halt, stunned in place.

In his eyes, there was a look of shock.

He didn’t expect that the magical abilities of this stone demon dragon crocodile would be so formidable, even beyond his expectations.

At this moment, the yellow light did not pierce Gu Yuan’s body, so Gu Yuan appeared without any visible wounds.

However, after a moment, his foot began to shatter, but what shattered was not flesh and blood, but fine grains of sand and yellow earth.

The yellow sand and earth drifted with the wind...

Gu Yuan’s body also dispersed with the wind, turning into a heap of dirt and stones, scattering onto the water surface.

As for the storage pouch at Gu Yuan’s waist and the damaged bronze bracelet above his head, they both began to fall towards the water.

But before they hit the water, the storage pouch was enveloped by a yellow light and landed in front of the stone demon dragon crocodile.

After all, a stone demon dragon crocodile is not human, so its beastly face remained stiff and expressionless, but those eyes were bright red, filled with anger and coldness, clearly burning with rage.

With its considerable intelligence, a thought prompted the storage pouch in front of it to open, spilling out all the contents inside.

Among these were some miscellaneous items, spirit stones, spirit pills, and spiritual materials of metal and iron, all of decent quality.

But there was no trace of the purple lotus.

The stone demon dragon crocodile was first stunned, then the fury in its heart surged even more intensely, like a roaring flame.

No!

They were actually missing!

How could this be?!

It clearly saw Gu Yuan put those purple lotus into this storage pouch!

So the question arises, where are those purple lotus?

Roar——!!!!

The stone demon dragon crocodile let out a furious roar, raising its paw to smash the pile of items in front of it into powder.

Then its eyes began to glow with yellow light, scanning the surroundings.

Everywhere its gaze passed, the murky lake water seemed to turn transparent, and this gaze contained a peculiar power that seemed capable of seeing through illusions.

However, after scanning around, the stone demon dragon crocodile found nothing and could only vent its impotent rage, spewing yellow light, blasting huge craters into the water in this region. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Yet, those purple lotus were deliberately or inadvertently avoided by it.

After venting for a while, the stone demon dragon crocodile managed to regain some composure and began sending other stone demon crocodiles out to search for the tracks of the thief who stole the purple lotus!

As for itself, it stayed to guard here, to prevent anyone else from coming to steal the purple lotus.

Time passed slowly...

A few days later, the stone demon crocodiles returned one after another with no clues.

The stone demon dragon crocodile was left with no choice but to guard the remaining purple lotus meticulously.

This body of water soon returned to its old state, with the stone demon crocodile group basking in the sun, playing, hunting, and reproducing.

Until one silent night, when nobody noticed, a palm-sized black turtle swam from the depths of the water, traveled a long distance, and arrived under the roots of a large tree.

Standing there was a young boy.

The boy had red lips and white teeth, with a handsome appearance. Just standing there, he seamlessly blended with the surrounding world, without the slightest trace of abruptness.

From afar, there was a sense of natural harmony, a unity of heaven and man.

This boy was naturally Gu Yuan.

Seeing the black jade turtle, Gu Yuan crouched down to pick it up, cradling it in his hands.

The black jade turtle opened its mouth, spitting out an inconspicuous black ring.

"Well done."

Gu Yuan looked at this black ring, a satisfied smile appearing on his face, then gently patted the creature in his hand.

Indeed, the black jade turtle was Ao Da, and Ao Da possessed a divine technique akin to Desireful Size, capable of changing its body size.

So, previously Gu Yuan had planned to utilize this ability of its to acquire the purple lotus.

This time, in obtaining the purple lotus, Gu Yuan employed the same method as when he had stolen the Dragon Blood Fruit.

With a slight variation, previously, it was Gu Yuan’s doppelganger standing openly to draw attention, but this time, the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and Silver-backed Centipede took action first. After attracting the attention of this group of stone demon crocodiles, his doppelganger then made a move.
