Luo Bingbing and her companions approached the White Ape from three different directions, preparing to launch a surprise attack.
However, the White Ape was the dominant creature of this generation, having lived here for nearly a hundred years. Could it not sense the presence of strangers nearby?
Needless to say, as soon as Luo Bingbing and her companions got closer, the White Ape immediately detected the unfamiliar scent in the air.
Although it had not yet seen them, it knew they were hiding nearby. Thus, the White Ape let out a roar as a show of force.
Upon hearing its roar, An Ruo Ran realized that the White Ape was aware of their arrival. Nevertheless, they did not stop; they continued to quietly approach the White Ape to execute their plan.
But as they drew nearer, the White Ape pinpointed their location.
It quickly chose the closest target and launched a sudden attack. Naturally, that target was Luo Bingbing, who was right in front of it.
However, as it approached, Luo Bingbing sensed its presence.
Immediately, she maximized her Power, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the giant White Ape.
Yet, the White Ape's Speed was much faster than she had anticipated. Before she could initiate her attack, the White Ape was already in front of her, locking eyes with her.
Luo Bingbing saw endless rage in the White Ape's eyes—a fury directed at intruders.
As Luo Bingbing and the White Ape stared at each other, An Ruo Ran and Mink reached their optimal attack positions. However, upon arriving at their designated spots, they discovered that the White Ape was no longer at the cave entrance.
While they were puzzled by this turn of events, Luo Bingbing engaged in combat with the White Ape. Despite using all her Power and moving quickly, the agile White Ape managed to evade her attacks.
After exchanging several blows, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but furrow her brow and think, "This big fellow looks clumsy but is surprisingly nimble! It seems I need to use something more powerful."
Hearing the sounds of their battle, An Ruo Ran and Mink rushed over. However, their Power was nowhere near that of Luo Bingbing's, so they couldn't enter into the fray.
Thus, they had no choice but to stand by and watch.
Due to the incredible speed of the White Ape, it nearly attacked Luo Bingbing several times. Therefore, Luo Bingbing decided not to waste any more time and directly used her Wind Ability to pierce several large holes in it.
In an instant, the giant White Ape fell down, and as it did, it tumbled off the cliff.
With the giant White Ape gone, Luo Bingbing and her companions smoothly made their way to the cave. Upon entering, they were astonished.
The reason for their surprise was that the cave was enormous, seemingly connected to over a dozen cliffs, and the further they ventured inside, the steeper the descent became.
As they walked, they suddenly encountered a fork in the path with three dark passages before them.
Looking at the three dark passages, Luo Bingbing and her companions were unsure which one to take.
So she said to An Ruo Ran and Mink, "It should be night by now. I think we should rest here for a while, regain our strength, and then continue."
"Master, we will follow your lead," Mink replied. As soon as Mink finished speaking, Luo Bingbing told them, "Let's quickly take out our rations and eat. After we are full, we can have a good sleep."
"Yes, Master. But someone should keep watch, right?"
"No need for a watch; just sleep peacefully."
After getting enough rest, Luo Bingbing immediately opened her eyes. Looking around, she found it still shrouded in darkness. She decided to get up and check her surroundings.
However, as soon as she moved, she startled An Ruo Ran and Mink awake, who then got up as well.
Seeing that they were both awake, Luo Bingbing led them to choose the middle passage to leave. Gradually, they descended deeper into the cave until they encountered a lot of water.
Fortunately, the water was shallow enough that it didn't even reach their calves.
Luo Bingbing had initially thought that this dark passage would hold some unknown dangers waiting for them. However, to her surprise, they encountered no danger along the way.
However, after they had walked for a long time, the tunnel gradually became smaller until it could only accommodate one person at a time. Nevertheless, this did not hinder their progress.
Suddenly, An Ruo Ran, who was at the front, spotted a light ahead and they couldn't help but quicken their pace.
However, as they got closer to the light, the water became deeper, and many of the items they carried could not be submerged.
Thus, Luo Bingbing had no choice but to create a protective barrier around each of them. Once the barriers were set up, she immediately teleported outside. Upon seeing that it was just a deep pool with no apparent dangers, she used her Ability to pull both of them out.
As soon as they reached the shore, Luo Bingbing quickly dispelled the barriers around them.
They all realized that the water in the deep pool was stagnant and did not flow; it was a dead pool. However, when they looked around, they were astonished.
What appeared before them were stone walls; everywhere was stone, and even the ground where they stood had no trace of soil—only large black stones.
After using her Ability to scan the surroundings, Luo Bingbing felt no signs of life, which left her even more puzzled.
Without any answers, they had no choice but to continue moving forward.
After walking for a while, the path beneath their feet remained flat and dark with stones. However, as Luo Bingbing observed the rising and falling cliffs connected in succession, she realized that they might be at the Bottom of the Cliff.
Without a precise location for the Spirit Orbs, Luo Bingbing could only proceed. But as they walked on, An Ruo Ran and Mink suddenly felt dizzy and weak all over, as if they were about to collapse.
Seeing this, Luo Bingbing immediately urged them to sit down and rest. She checked their pulses and determined that they had merely inhaled some miasma and were not in serious danger.
Knowing the cause, Luo Bingbing quickly took out a small bottle from her pocket and poured out two pills for them to take—one for each.
After taking the antidote, both of them felt fine again.
Thus, they continued forward. Not long after, they detected a pungent odor in the air.
The smell was very familiar to Luo Bingbing; she recognized it immediately as the scent of gasoline.
Looking at the large black stones beneath her feet, she couldn't help but think, "No wonder these stones are all black; it turns out there is oil hidden nearby!"
Although the smell of gasoline was unpleasant, they did not stop and continued to move forward quickly. Gradually, black, sticky soil began to appear under their feet.
Seeing this, Luo Bingbing realized they were not far from the oil reservoir.
However, after walking for a while, she felt the two Spirit Orbs in her arms heating up, and she had a sense that the Spirit Orbs were nearby.
Suddenly, a large hole appeared ahead, and aside from that hole, there were no other paths; both sides were sheer cliffs.
So, they entered the cave. After a short while inside, Luo Bingbing saw a vast expanse of oil, and it was pure oil.
After surveying the surroundings, Luo Bingbing concluded that the oil was naturally formed.
Mink's night vision wasn't very good, so she couldn't see clearly, but An Ruo Ran and Luo Bingbing could see quite well. Not knowing what the oil was, An Ruo Ran couldn't help but ask, "What is this? So much of it?"
"Oil; it's flammable. Just a tiny spark can ignite it immediately."
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, An Ruo Ran noticed that in the middle of the oil patch, a small hill suddenly began to rise and kept growing larger.
"Master, look! A small hill just popped up over there."
Looking over, Luo Bingbing indeed saw a small hill emerging from the center of the oil patch. Before she could comprehend what was happening, she saw a head suddenly pop up in front of that hill, with two red eyes on top.
Upon seeing those two eyes, Luo Bingbing felt that what she was looking for was right behind them.
In no time at all, the small hill approached them. At that moment, they finally realized that what lay before them was a large turtle.
They only knew it was a turtle, but they had no idea what species it was, as none of them had ever seen such a large turtle, not even Luo Bingbing, who had lived two lives.
The giant turtle stood three meters tall, measured six to seven meters in length, and weighed ten tons. The central part of its shell was grayish-white, while the sides were black. Its underbelly was yellow. When it walked, its belly did not touch the ground. Its legs were long, and the raised part of its shell was flat.
After careful observation, Luo Bingbing recognized it as a tortoise.
Once the tortoise came ashore, it slowly approached Luo Bingbing and her two companions, stopping just two meters away from them.
Seeing it stop, Luo Bingbing and her friends remained on high alert, ready to attack at any moment.
"Ha ha ha, how fragrant! I've lived here for hundreds of years, always drinking that murky water. Today I can finally change my taste!"
This remark startled not only Luo Bingbing and her companions but also made them cough from the overwhelming smell.
They were directly shocked by the talking turtle, and the creature's long exposure to petroleum made its breath reek when it spoke, making them feel nauseous.
"You little beast dare to speak so arrogantly? You must be seeking death," An Ruo Ran couldn't help but retort.
Suddenly, the turtle quickly sensed the presence of Spirit Orbs on Luo Bingbing. It fixed its gaze intently on her.
Seeing its unwavering stare and the determined warning in its eyes, Luo Bingbing immediately guessed that it might already know about the Spirit Orbs she possessed.
"Want them?" As soon as she spoke, the turtle replied, "What a clever little one you are."
"Then let's see if you have the ability to take them," Luo Bingbing said as she launched an attack aimed at the turtle's head.
As soon as she moved, An Ruo Ran and Mink also sprang into action. However, instead of attacking the turtle's head, they flew onto its back with the intention of stabbing through its shell with their daggers.
But since Luo Bingbing was attacking from the front, the turtle naturally took precautions, so her strike did not hit its target.
The turtle's shell was always quite hard, especially since this turtle was a mutated tortoise that had lived for hundreds of years; its shell was naturally tougher than that of an ordinary turtle.
Thus, the first attacks from the three of them ended in failure. However, without missing a beat, they immediately launched a new round of attacks.
Surprisingly, no matter how they attacked, they couldn't harm the turtle in the slightest.
After a while, when the turtle noticed that their speed had slowed down a bit, it began to counterattack. As soon as it did, Mink and An Ruo Ran found themselves in trouble.
The turtle's attack was quite peculiar; it retracted its head and four legs into its shell and began to spin its shell in circles.
Gradually, the shell spun faster and faster. Not only was it fast, but it also flew around like a flying wheel, continuously heading toward Luo Bingbing and the others.
Seeing this, they quickly dodged to the side.
It wasn't that they were afraid; it was just that the turtle's shell was both foul-smelling and hard. As it spun, numerous sharp spikes grew from the edges of the shell, and those spikes were as sharp as daggers. Anything that came into contact with them would be instantly shredded to pieces.
However, despite the cave being large, there was nowhere for Luo Bingbing and her companions to hide. The turtle was very cunning, blocking the entrance as if afraid they would escape.
Little did it know that Luo Bingbing would never leave without obtaining the Spirit Orb from it.
Although the turtle relentlessly pursued Luo Bingbing, her martial arts skills were superior, allowing her to narrowly evade its attacks.
In contrast, An Ruo Ran and Mink were far more flustered than Little One, even though they weren't being chased as closely.
Seeing that all possible hiding spots had been cleared away by the turtle, Luo Bingbing thought: This isn't going to work; it's too dangerous here. I can't fight back freely. I need to think of a way to lure it outside; otherwise, we're all done for.
Then, while dodging its attacks, Luo Bingbing called out to it, "Hey, big guy, are you a coward?"
"How could Grandpa Turtle possibly be a coward?"
“Old Turtle, if you’re not a coward, why are you hiding your head in your shell?”
“You ignorant one, this is called strategy, understand?” As soon as it finished speaking, Luo Bingbing scoffed, “What nonsense strategy? A coward is just a coward, and you won’t even admit it. You’re really embarrassing your turtle family.”
After a brief pause, she continued, “However, if you can prove that you’re not a coward, then I will believe you.”
The large turtle immediately asked, “How do you want me to prove it?”
Luo Bingbing pretended to be troubled and thought for a moment before saying, “As long as you dare to go to the cave entrance, I will believe you’re not a coward.”
“I see, you all want to escape. I won’t fall for your trick!”
“Hmph, still claiming you’re not a coward when you won’t even go to the entrance. Besides, we won’t walk in front of you; we’ll just follow behind.”
After thinking for a moment, the turtle said, “Fine, I’ll go. You all can’t escape anyway.” With that, it slowly crawled toward the cave entrance.
Worried that the turtle might become suspicious, Luo Bingbing only let it approach the entrance. Once it reached the entrance, she could immediately push it out. Without it in the cave, they would be free to act.
The turtle crawled ahead proudly, unaware that its life was in danger.
When it reached the cave entrance, Luo Bingbing quickly used her Ability to push it out. The suddenness of the action caught the turtle off guard, and it flew out instantly.
Although there was no sunlight, having never seen light before, it found everything blinding and unfamiliar.
As soon as it flew out, Luo Bingbing and her companions quickly followed and launched a fierce attack.
However, as soon as the turtle sensed danger approaching, it immediately withdrew its head and feet into its shell and began spinning around, preparing to attack Luo Bingbing and her companions just like it did inside the cave.
Seeing it start to spin again, the three of them quickly began to dodge. However, Luo Bingbing only dodged once before activating her Inner Strength and unleashing her Thunder Ability.
Suddenly, the sky became overcast with dark clouds, and thunder roared as deafening claps echoed continuously. This was nothing new for An Ruo Ran and Mink, but for Old Turtle, who had just stepped out of the cave for the first time, it was completely unfamiliar and terrifying.
At that moment of fear, bolts of lightning struck directly at it. In the blink of an eye, its incredibly hard shell was shattered into several pieces, scattering around.
Before it was struck, Luo Bingbing quickly used her Ability to pull An Ruo Ran and Mink to her side, setting up a protective barrier around them.
Old Turtle had been drinking oil for years, so it surely contained a lot of oil within its body. The cave was also filled with oil; if it caught fire from being struck, it would be troublesome. Therefore, Luo Bingbing had to take precautions.
Fortunately, it did not catch fire.
Seeing only smoke and no flames, Luo Bingbing immediately withdrew the barrier and rushed to find the Spirit Orbs. Just then, the Spirit Orbs she had found in Wuhua Valley flew out from her arms and headed toward a large rock ahead.
Seeing it fly out, Luo Bingbing knew it would lead her to the Spirit Orbs, so she stopped searching aimlessly.
Following the orb to a large rock, Luo Bingbing noticed that this rock was different from the others around it; there seemed to be a strong burnt smell emanating from it.
Upon closer inspection, she also found remnants of what looked like minced meat on top of the rock.
Without needing to think further, Luo Bingbing realized that this large rock must have come from inside Old Turtle's body. She immediately channeled all her internal energy into her palm and struck down forcefully at the large rock.
Instantly, the rock shattered into pieces, and the Spirit Orbs that had been sleeping inside flew out. However, the light emitted by this Spirit Orbs was black, and it itself shone with a deep black luster.
After collecting the Spirit Orbs, Luo Bingbing felt the temperature around her rising sharply.
She couldn't help but look up and scan her surroundings. Upon doing so, she saw that where there had only been smoke before, small sparks were now appearing.
Seeing those faint sparks made her anxious. She quickly used her Ability to pull An Ruo Ran and Mink to her side again and then teleported them away directly back to the palace of Silver Moon Kingdom.
At the moment they left, those small sparks instantly turned into a raging fire. Within moments, the oil inside the cave ignited as well.
Suddenly, the cave was filled with loud banging sounds, and then the cliffs collapsed.
With the cliffs falling, oil began to flow out, and fire spread along with the oil, eventually triggering the molten magma beneath, resulting in a Volcanic Eruption.
Fortunately, there were no inhabitants within several thousand miles of that area, so there were no casualties.
However, due to the immense noise of the Volcanic Eruption, and since the people of that world had never witnessed such an event before, they believed that the fiery mountain was a sign of the Mountain Deity's anger.
As a result, those who saw it fell to their knees, sincerely praying for the so-called Mountain Deity to calm down.
Luo Bingbing returned to the palace, her forehead covered in beads of sweat. Mink immediately asked, "My lord, what happened to you?"
At that moment, An Ruo Ran also hurriedly inquired, "Yes, my lord, what exactly is wrong?"
They would never have guessed that the sweat on Luo Bingbing's forehead was caused by her fright from earlier.
After calming her racing heart, Luo Bingbing mysteriously said to them, "Do you want to know?" As soon as she finished speaking, both of them nodded eagerly.
Seeing their anxious expressions, Luo Bingbing continued, "Alright, I will take you back to see it. But please don't be scared!"
