579 Tremors in the Ground

Even as the cannons moved, those in charge of them did not neglect firing at the Earthbound Tortoise. In fact, they changed their target from the shell to the beast's face. 

"Aim for the eyes! Blind it!" 

This was all that they could think of. 

They were lucky enough to not have died but none of them would look forward to being under the tortoise's foot. There would be practically nothing left of their bodies. More than likely, their flesh and blood would be smashed into the dirt. 

One cannon was already abandoned earlier, and its remains were nothing more than dust and splinters. Even the metal barrel had been smashed flat. 

That was enough for them to fear it. 

But that wasn't all that tortoise can do. 

Stopping its movements, the beast stood still, enduring the attacks for just a few seconds. Ao Qin stopped and looked up, sensing that something was amiss. Then he saw the belly of the tortoise come down.
