Chapter 1084: Chapter 517: I’m Just Saying, You’re All Cat Ladies_3

Taking advantage of his ability to resurrect, Zhang Ze volunteered to go first. He activated his Innate Dao Body and approached the golden turtle shell, reaching out to poke at it.

The touch was cold, without any restrictions.

After poking a few more times, Zhang Ze gathered his courage, leaned his ear against it, hoping to hear what was inside.

A heartbeat would be nice.

However, Zhang Ze heard a rather discordant sound.

"BBB, the ace is exposed, shift to B."

Zhang Ze, "Huh?"

To make sure he hadn’t heard wrong, he stood up and rubbed his ears before sticking them back on.

Sure enough, the sound changed again this time.

"Chain links of iron, wine, kill, against those who invade the lands of Great Wu! Go speak with my ancient blade!"

Zhang Ze, "?"

Aware that things might not be so simple, Zhang Ze didn’t wait for Qin Lang and ran directly to the other side of the turtle shell.

The hole originally for the turtle’s head was now covered by a thin water membrane, which Zhang Ze stepped through.

At first, it was quite narrow, just enough for a person, but as he took a step, it suddenly opened up wide.

Inside the turtle shell, it was like a hidden paradise, bustling more than necessary.

To the left was an internet cafe, to the right a swimming pool, a buffet in the middle, and an amusement park in front.

The space inside the turtle shell was crammed full, with a group of adorable spirit beasts and exotic pets rushing about.

A little Qilin jumped out of the water, recognized Zhang Ze, barked once, then dashed off towards the internet cafe. Not long after, Zhu Luo’s voice came from inside.

"What’s up? Someone’s here?"

Soon, Zhang Ze saw a ’old meat turtle’ with black leather pants, a small jacket, sunglasses, and no shell coming out of the internet cafe.

Looking at Senior Zhu Luo’s trendy turtle appearance, Zhang Ze sighed.

He grabbed a glass of juice off the tray on a little lamb’s head, then drank it all.

So tiring for the heart.

Just then, Qin Lang also walked in. Seeing the scenery inside the shell, his expression was not much different from Zhang Ze’s, equally speechless.

Such wasted emotions.

Picking up a glass of juice, he guzzled it down, feeling dismayed to discover it was grape-flavored orange juice, which did not improve Valley Master Qin’s mood.

"What exactly is going on?" he asked Zhu Luo.

...

The story behind it wasn’t too complicated.

When Zhu Luo landed, he encountered a situation not much different from the others, he was also corroded by the black mist and attacked by Colorful Robe. With both against him, he gradually fell to a disadvantage.

Later, being perceived as an obnoxious outsider, he provoked an attack by the Heaven-Reaching Tower in Dubhe City and was downed in one move.

The fleeting clouds and dragon roar Zhang Ze saw when he first awakened in the Holy Land was the scene of Zhu Luo being attacked by the tower.

But just like the others who had their own tricks, Zhu Luo had his unique skill, which was the turtle shell he could swap like underwear.

After being captured, Zhu Luo immediately used the divine turtle’s shrinking shell, abandoning the damaged and corroded turtle shell, swapped for a new one, and created this shell-within-a-shell hidden paradise.

Because he hadn’t figured out the source of the black mist and going out might lead to the same fate, Zhu Luo stayed hidden in this inner shell.

Using the discarded shell as a sample, he began researching the secret of the black mist.

As for these spirit beasts and exotic pets, they were purely accidental.

In his rushed preparation, Zhu Luo didn’t thoroughly check the items when grabbing the turtle shell, hence inadvertently bringing along these mischievous little creatures.

By the time he realized, it was too late, so Zhu Luo set up an amusement park to prevent them from being scared or bored.

After hearing everything, Qin Lang sighed, weakly saying.

"As long as everything’s alright, let’s head out first. Sect Leader Lu and Mr. Wei are also in Dubhe City. Let’s meet up with them, prepare, and head to Baiyujing to put an end to this farce."

"But...what about those prison guards outside?" Zhu Luo asked.

Qin Lang, "Don’t worry, everything’s settled. As long as you don’t touch the chains or your corroded turtle shell, they won’t stop us."

Zhu Luo, "That’s good, I don’t want to fight them either."

No more words were exchanged, but as they left the turtle shell, Zhang Ze’s heart suddenly sank.

He remembered something: those Colorful Robes’ original forms were all known to Senior Zhu Luo, and he had even held more than half of them as children.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ze wanted to make a last effort, but it was too late.

Dressed in a leather jacket and pants, looking like an old teenager, Zhu Luo stepped out of the turtle shell before Zhang Ze.

As he came out, he was faced with a band made up of familiar faces.

"❥(ゝω・✿ฺ) Smooch~ Meow! For love and justice, we’re forming a lifelong band meow!"

Zhu Luo, "..."

He instinctively turned to look at Zhang Ze, who turned his head the other way, indicating it had nothing to do with him.

"It’s Senior Wei Zhuang’s doing, if you have any questions, go find him.

"Rain has nothing to do with me."
