This Turtle Actually Eats Meat

"It's just a few turtles. I remember there's a shallow beach nearby. There should be a lot of turtles there."

"Let's hurry over before it gets too late. There are still some powerful demonic beasts in this forest."

With a whistle, a few hounds dashed out and headed toward Lin Xuan's direction. Who asked him to be on the path that they were taking? If this continued, he would definitely get discovered.

'Not good!'

'Shit!' Lin Xuan cried out in his heart. It was too late for him to leave now. The surrounding grass had been trampled on by the hounds, inevitably exposing his figure. It was difficult to ignore his bright turtle shell.

"Oh, there's one here, and it's this big."

These few people did not take Lin Xuan seriously. So what if he was a demonic beast? As everyone knew, turtles were the weakest creatures. Their combat power was even in the negatives. Even the turtle demonic beasts were not that strong.

A few hounds swarmed forward and attacked with all their might. They all knew that the defensive power of the turtle shell required a strong bite. However, Lin Xuan had just obtained the defensive rebound skill of the Volcano Pi Xiu. The more ruthless the enemy was, the more damage he would receive from it.

The hounds didn't expect sharp spikes to grow out of the smooth turtle shell. It was as if the turtle was wearing both armor and reverse armor, and the spikes instantly pierced through their lower jaws.

"OWW!"

A few screams attracted the people's attention. They turned around and saw a hound lying on the ground with its mouth full of blood and a big hole in its chin. It was a shocking sight.

"What the hell is going on? Could it be caused by this turtle?"

"No matter how I look at it, this turtle looks ordinary. Could it be another demonic beast that secretly ambushed it?"

"That's impossible. There aren't any powerful demonic beasts or animals in the surroundings."

They were in disbelief. The person carrying a bow was the first to react. He knocked his bow and shot an arrow, aiming at Lin Xuan's limbs. However, Lin Xuan was no fool. How could he just stand there and let himself get hit? He quickly retreated into his turtle shell.

Those arrows were made of ordinary materials. Lin Xuan's turtle shell could even withstand the collision with a seventh-rank monster, the Lava Rhinoceros, let alone those arrows.

It was like an egg hitting a stone. The moment the arrow struck his turtle shell, it actually sounded like hitting metal. The arrow immediately broke into two halves, a mysterious and powerful force controlling it. The people were dumbfounded at that sight.

Those who didn't know better would think that these were arrows made of paper. They had never encountered such a situation. How was this a turtle shell? This was clearly a Vajra barrier! They finally understood why one of the hounds had ended up like this when it had pounced on it.

The companion beside him stuttered, "W-What should we do now, old Li?"

"There's something strange about this turtle. I'm afraid it's a mutated demonic beast. It's not something you and I can deal with."

If they were asked to deal with ordinary fierce beasts or ordinary low-level demon beasts, it would have been fine. However, this kind of mutated demon beast was simply out of their range. They no longer even want the things they had captured before.

They ran away, afraid that they would lose their lives here. Lin Xuan was not interested in them, so he felt no need to chase after them. Perhaps these people had a large force behind them.

He walked over to check on the situation of the captured creatures. In addition to the turtles, a few low-level demonic beasts were still alive. Most of them were dead already, so he let all the survivors out.

"Hurry up and leave. The farther, the better. Don't get caught again."

These demonic beasts had gained sentience, and they nodded toward him to express their gratitude before entering the forest. However, the turtles did not leave immediately.

The turtle in the lead was much larger than the others and seemed to be their leader. It walked over slowly and touched Lin Xuan's head, as if inviting him to go with them. Not only that, but the other turtles also showed kindness to Lin Xuan.

These tortoises' shells were tall and round, with the back and abdomen connected at the bridge. At first glance, they looked quite similar to Lin Xuan, so there was probably a misunderstanding that he was one of them. They should be a type of land turtle, but in Lin Xuan's eyes, all turtles in the world were no different.

Lin Xuan walked over to the hounds, only to see them staring at him with their eyes wide open. Their mouths opened and closed as if they wanted to pounce on him again, their eyes filled with hatred and bloodthirst.

The leader of the turtles didn't seem to understand what Lin Xuan was trying to do. It looked confused, but the next second, it saw Lin Xuan gnawing on the hounds, and its eyes almost fell out.

The actions that Lin Xuan thought were nothing out of the ordinary, in the eyes of the turtles, were nothing but shock and horror.

They were vegetarians! Lin Xuan's actions were undoubtedly heresy. Even the leader from before took a few steps back in fear, afraid that Lin Xuan would go crazy and swallow it.

Lin Xuan looked harmless and had even saved them. Who could guarantee he would not attack his own kind in case he was hungry? The friendly creatures from the same race were now on guard and fearful.

Lin Xuan didn't mind the estrangement and isolation of these turtles. After all, they weren't turtles on the same path. Moreover, he had transformed from a human into a turtle, so he had even less sense of belonging to the tribe. It was not so bad to be a loner.

With the tortoises looking like they were avoiding some kind of flood or ferocious beast, Lin Xuan would not take the initiative to look for trouble. After taking another look at them, he left and parted ways with them.
