Chapter 144: Blocking the Robbery with His Body, Linglong River God

Chapter 144: Blocking the Robbery with His Body, Linglong River God

The Linglong River was in turmoil, like a giant dragon, with a terrifying momentum.

All the mortals along the river were frightened and hurried away from Linglong River.

Some old people knelt on the ground with pious eyes, praying that the Linglong Mother River would not be angry.

This big river has run through the entire country since ancient times. The local people rely on it for fishing and water-related work for their survival.

Linglong River is the most magnificent river in this country. It is rich in resources and is the pride of the people.

Today, Linglong River has changed and is no longer as kind and tolerant as before.

But the older generation of people always admire Linglong River from the bottom of their hearts and do not want it to be violated.

River bottom.

Deep place.

Li Yuan looked calmly at the giant black turtle in front of him, with a puzzled expression.

"We just met, and I have never done anything wrong. Why are you pushing me so far?"

He subdued the giant black turtle with one hand, making it unable to move at all.

Although the black giant turtle can mobilize the power of Linglong River, it is very powerful.

However, Li Yuan is an authentic god in heaven. How can a river on earth hurt him?

The black giant turtle is very intelligent and has lived for thousands of years.

But it turned from a spirit into a demon, fell into the path of evil, and its cultivation was destroyed; it was also corroded by evil spirits for many years, and now its strength is only at the level of Zhuge Laodeng.

The giant black turtle roared, causing waves in the water.

"You greedy people will never be satisfied!"

"One plant weighs a thousand jin, one plant weighs ten thousand jin, one plant weighs a million jin!"

"You sit back and watch your old friend perish, yet you are still so hypocritical, bullying me for my ignorance. You are unworthy of being immortals!"

"Linglong River, you can't touch it!"

The giant black turtle struggled frantically, stirring up endless waves.

Li Yuan frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and pressed, and the black giant turtle was instantly pressed to the riverbed, unable to move.

"I found the rules here strange, and I also saw the evil spirit in the river. I was afraid there might be a disaster, so I went into the river to investigate!"

Li Yuan exuded pure immortal power, and there seemed to be a huge phantom of a majestic mountain behind him, with a terrifying pressure.

Unless this black giant turtle has the power to move mountains, it is not strong enough to shake Li Yuan's hand.

The black giant turtle knew that the gap in strength between itself and Li Yuan was too big, and was faintly restrained by the aura of the immortals, so it couldn't help but become silent.

It was furious and emotional.

But after calming down a bit, he chose to lower his head, not daring to completely anger Li Yuan.

If it is wiped out by Li Yuan, then Linglong River will be completely destroyed...

The black giant turtle slowly lowered its head, and its voice was somewhat dull:

"My Lord Mountain God, I am so excited..."

"But, Xiao Yao has discussed this with the mountain gods."

"Linglong River, you guys can't touch it..."

Li Yuan stroked his forehead slightly.

"I am here for travel, not as a nearby mountain god."

"Also, I really don't care about your Linglong River..."

Looking at the helpless Li Yuan, the black giant turtle's expression froze, and his eyes swept slightly to the middle-aged man in white beside him.

Its heart instinctively trembled, its demonic power unconsciously dissipated, and it quickly lowered its head.

It was as if, being guided by some mysterious force, one could not look the other person in the eye.

Zhang Tiansheng raised his eyebrows slightly and restrained his breath a little.

This black turtle has a keen sense of perception and is a natural psychic beast.

Wait until the black giant turtle's emotions subside and calm down a little.

Li Yuancai released his hand that was pressing on the corner of the black giant turtle.

This hand even had only a few fingers resting on the edge of the giant turtle's shell, pressing it so hard that it could not move.

The power of immortals is tyrannical and unreasonable.

The black giant turtle subconsciously retreated and disappeared into the deep river, looking at Li Yuan and the other man vigilantly.

"Judging from your behavior, you seem to be the supervisor of Linglong River."

Li Yuan didn't care about the giant turtle's defense.

"Let me ask you, where has the river god gone?"

"The Linglong River has changed, but is it related to the evil spirit?"

Upon hearing this, the black giant turtle was stunned.

"You...you guys, are you really not here to ask for benefits?"

Li Yuan spread his hands:

"I have the strength to suppress you with one hand, why would I lie to you?"

The black giant turtle was silent for a long time, and slowly emerged its huge head from the dark and deep river.

"Little demon...I believe you."

"There is no smell of greed on you."

Although the black giant turtle was in awe, it finally chose to believe Li Yuan.

It is born with keen spiritual perception and is psychic.

But at this moment, there was really no sense of malice from Li Yuan.

-

After a while.

In a deep river area.

The giant black turtle was lying in the mud, while Li Yuan and Zhang Tiansheng were sitting cross-legged on its back.

The two chatted with the giant turtle for a while and established a preliminary connection.

"Where is the river god of Linglong River?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but ask this question.

The Linglong River is now lifeless and is eroded by evil spirits, looking like it is dying.

The people around also thought that the river was punishing them because of the evil spirits in the river and the poor harvest.

Many things seem to be on the verge of failure. Why doesn't the river god here show up to take charge?

The black giant turtle was in a depressed mood.

"Lord River God, you can't come back."

Zhang Tiansheng frowned slightly:

"Why?"

The giant black turtle raised its claws and gently stroked the water, with a trace of helplessness and sadness in its huge eyes.

"Do you two know where this evil spirit in the river comes from?"

Li Yuan shook his head:

"I walked halfway along the river but couldn't find the source."

The black giant turtle’s voice was low:

"This evil spirit is the evil of the underworld."

"The evil spirit invaded the river because there is a river eye between illusion and reality at the source of Linglong River."

"This river eye connects the underworld and is one of the nodes between the human world and the underworld."

"It is like a crack in the heaven and earth. The secrets of the avenue are unknown to the world."

"The evil spirits of the underworld leaked out from the river eye, corroding everything in the world and polluting the water in the river."

Li Yuan took a deep breath.

"If that's the case, then the Linglong River God should take better care of it..."

The old black turtle had a sad look in his eyes.

"Lord River God..."

"Now it is in the eye of the river."

"She used her body to block the connection between the human world and the underworld."

Li Yuan was shocked.

Zhang Tiansheng also lowered his eyes and looked over.

The black giant turtle hummed softly, ethereal and melodious.

But with a hint of helplessness.

It said again:

"Linglong River has been worshipped by mortals since ancient times. The river god is kind and benevolent. He is full of merits and has endless blessings."

"At that time, Linglong River was the mother river revered by mortals. They relied on Linglong River for survival for generations. At that time, the river god protected the spiritual creatures in the river and all living beings around him. He was dressed in five-colored clothes and full of divine glory."

“Everything is so beautiful and pleasant.”

"But hundreds of years ago, the river eye began to move strangely, and began to emit dark evil."

"Lord River God has filled the gap with his merits and eliminated the evil spirits. He does not want Linglong River to be eroded by evil spirits, and he does not want mortals to suffer disasters."

"She also reported it to her superiors, but received no response."

“Until a few decades ago.”

"Her golden light of merit...has been exhausted."

The black giant turtle whined softly, as if recalling the painful scenes in its mind.

And Li Yuan closed his eyes and sighed.

He had also helped the dead souls to cross the border and exhausted the golden light of merit, so he knew what that felt like.

It was as if he had lost the perception of his body, and his fragile soul was exposed to the strong winds of heaven and earth, enduring extreme pain every moment.

The black giant turtle's voice was low and sad:

"She did not wait for help from other gods. She had to do everything she could to keep the area peaceful."

"I want to use my immortal body to fill the gap between the two worlds."

"That...that was the first time I saw Lord River God so vulnerable."

"She no longer radiated light, her figure was illusory, her face was pale, and her steps were unsteady."

"It's like it will disappear at any moment."

Tears welled up in the black giant turtle's eyes and it merged into the river.

"But she still walked towards the river eye step by step..."

"I stopped her... I even disobeyed her and used magic to subdue her!"

"But, she was so fragile, but she still broke free from me!!!"

The black giant turtle had sad eyes and an annoyed expression.

Memories flooded back, and I seemed to see that brilliant figure in colorful clothes again.

She was wearing a colorful dress, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, her expression was gentle, her eyes were filled with attachment to the exquisite world, but her feet were walking further and further away.

The giant black claws stretched forward unconsciously, as if trying to grab the figure that was gradually walking away.

"She doesn't even have a trace of immortal power left. How can she be so determined to break free from me..."

The black giant turtle choked up when thinking about the pain.

From the bottom of this deep river, there is a constant sound of long and mournful cries.

It blamed itself for not being able to stop the Linglong River God from sacrificing himself to prevent the disaster, and felt extremely regretful.
