Why did Hai Ji and the Turtle King suddenly possess such power, and why didn't they explode and die?

Chen Luo was genuinely curious.

In his past life, these creatures wouldn't have given him the time of day, and Chen Luo hadn't been interested in investigating.

Hai Ji slowly began to speak.

"I don't know why, but more than half a year ago, I opened my mouth, and something fell into my body, like a piece of meat."

"I felt terrible pain, like my whole body was about to explode. I wanted to spit it out, but I couldn't. I was sure that if it continued, I would die."

"That piece of meat slowly digested itself inside my body."

"My old friend, the Turtle King, happened to pass by and saw this. He ate the remaining meat into his body."

"I was saved and started to become stronger and stronger. The Turtle King also greatly increased his strength."

"Although that piece of meat caused pain, it had a magical effect. The Turtle King ate part of it, and I don't blame him. If he hadn't eaten a little, I would have died. So, I'm very grateful to him."

Meat?

Chen Luo frowned.

Hai Ji and the Turtle King's strength increased dramatically because they ate a piece of meat?

The process was extremely painful?

Isn't that the same reaction as eating a high-level crystal?

The massive amount of energy entered the body and couldn't be digested, causing a feeling like the body was about to explode.

What kind of meat has the same function as a crystal?

Chen Luo glanced at Hai Ji. Her face also showed confusion.

Chen Luo knew she wasn't pretending. First, she probably didn't have the intelligence to do so.

If she was very intelligent, she wouldn't have been easily fooled by him.

After all, she had only gained true sentience for a little over half a year.

Second, there was no need.

After returning, he could also verify it with the Turtle King. Chen Luo didn't believe that the two monsters would collude beforehand to deceive him. That would be ridiculous, more prescient than rice.

Hai Ji and the Turtle King, like they had obtained king-level crystals, could rapidly increase their strength, not all at once, but gradually over the past six months.

In the future, Hai Ji could even grow to the king level.

They were not mutants, so they wouldn't explode and die.

Chen Luo guessed that other powerful marine creatures probably had the same experience as Hai Ji: they endured it, survived, and their strength soared.

The evolution speed of ordinary marine creatures was similar to that of zombies.

Chen Luo suddenly realized that the mutated creatures in the ocean were actually the same as zombies; they had little reason at low levels.

The only difference was probably that they had a group consciousness. Ordinary sea turtles obeyed the Turtle King.

Chen Luo had an idea about how to cooperate with Hai Ji to obtain crystals.

Hadn't he used spatial banishment before?

He could have Hai Ji lure the target to the seaside, then use spatial banishment to send it to the land.

In the sea, marine creatures' strength was amplified. Bringing them to land was like a fish out of water.

He could use this method for difficult ones, and let Hai Ji deal with the weaker ones directly.

The strength of marine creatures was extremely polarized. The powerful ones were truly powerful, and the weak ones were truly weak.

It was probably the difference between whether or not they had obtained the "meat" Hai Ji mentioned.

The powerful ones might have even reached the king level. There were no level five or six marine creatures; there was a gap.

Of course, he had to master spatial banishment first.

Chen Luo had some clues in his mind. It was like using Void Walk on a target.

He was skilled at Void Walk, so he thought Void Banishment would be easy to learn; he just hadn't thought of it before.

Chen Luo said, "Don't worry, I will definitely make you a few hundred years younger."

Thinking of her youthful appearance, Hai Ji couldn't help but smile, then she restrained herself. She couldn't let Chen Luo know her weakness like this.

Hai Ji snorted, "If you can't do it in a year, don't blame me for turning against you."

This fool, the current me can still go back and forth with you. If I reach your level, can you deal with me?

After saying goodbye to Hai Ji, Chen Luo hummed a little tune all the way.

You believe everything I say, you're so easily fooled, your intelligence is touching.

As for how to contact Hai Ji, of course he would let Zhao Ziyi, the foodie, do it.

Giving that level seven psychic crystal that Xiao Yu found at the time to Zhao Ziyi was truly a brilliant decision.

The Turtle King was still waiting at the base to be fooled, so Chen Luo took the trouble to run back to the base again.

He wasn't as anxious as before. It took him an hour and a half to return to the base.

With the little sea turtles as hostages, the Turtle King didn't dare to attack even when Chen Luo wasn't there.

Fa Wang (a playful title implying mastery/control) indicated that he had the Turtle King in his grasp.

On land, the Turtle King's strength would be relatively weakened. If Chen Luo wanted to kill it, he definitely could.

But which was more valuable, a living level eight creature or a level eight crystal?

Chen Luo immediately had an idea.

As soon as the Turtle King saw Chen Luo, it shouted, "You stole my children! Return my children to me!"

Meng Yin translated from the side, looking at Chen Luo with the eyes of someone looking at a schemer.

Such a bad person, stealing other people's children.

Chen Luo thought to himself, don't you want to eat fried chicken anymore? What kind of look is that?

Chen Luo lied, "I'm doing it for their own good. Look how happy and healthy they are here with me."

"Look at this eldest son, he's the healthiest. Little sea turtles are prone to die young."

"With my help, you'll soon be a grandmother. Aren't you happy?"

"Do you know how much effort I put in and how many brain cells I killed? As a result, I'm doing a good deed and being retaliated against. You even brought Hai Ji to make trouble for me."

"How wronged I am."

"But I'm the kind of person who usually repays evil with good."

Chen Luo called over four sea turtles and pointed at the Turtle King, saying, "Come on, call her 'Mama.'"

The four sea turtles already felt close to the Turtle King, and with Chen Luo's instructions, they quickly surrounded the Turtle King.

The Turtle King shed tears of excitement.

The Turtle King, with its limited intelligence, wondered suspiciously, "Could it be that I really misunderstood this person?"

Chen Luo continued to deceive, "At the time, I used the little sea turtles as shields, but that was a last resort. I didn't really use them as shields. When attacked, I still protected them with all my might."

This had to be explained clearly.

The Turtle King thought for a moment and said, "Forget it then. I'll take my children back."

Tch, let you go? You're dreaming. Don't be ungrateful. If you really leave, leave the crystal behind.

Chen Luo opened his mouth and dissuaded, "You can't go back. I just came back from Hai Ji's place. She's resentful about you revealing her secret. In a fit of anger, she said she was going to kill your children."

"If you ask her directly, she definitely won't admit it."

"Mr. Turtle King, you wouldn't want your children to suffer a tragic death, would you?"

"Besides, I also have feelings for these four sea turtles. Look, they don't want to leave me either."

The Turtle King was dumbfounded. How come these words sounded familiar? A dog had said these words before.

That's right, I revealed Hai Ji's secret. What if she retaliates against me? I'm no match for her.

I can escape, but my children can't.

Chen Luo hummed and taught, "Look, how about that river over there? It can provide you with a place to live."
