"This fellow is called Edible, and I exchanged it from the company."
Lin You explained the background of Edible to the two, making them envious for a while.
The two gathered around Edible, curiously observing it. Dream Source occasionally reached out to poke Edible's shell, mumbling, "This is so fun!"
Fatty, on the other hand, stared at Edible's two ruby-like eyes, stroking his chin and murmuring, "These eyes must be rubies, right? Just look at that luster; they could sell for a lot if pried out..."
"Get lost! Would you be happy if I pried your eyes out and sold them?"
With a twitch at the corner of his eye, Lin Yi kicked Fatty away.
...
After the three finished examining Edible, Lin needed to get down to business.
The reason he summoned Edible was that it had started producing Destruction Bugs recently, which could help Lin with his tasks.
That Willow Leaf Turtle was incredibly fast and always darted into corners. At that moment, only the Destruction Bugs could assist him.
"Edible, can you sense that thing under the cabinet? Help me grab it out. Remember, it's not food; don't eat it! Just bring it out!"
After repeatedly reminding Edible not to eat the Willow Leaf Turtle, Lin finally released the Destruction Swarm from his Bracelet.
With a series of "ding" sounds from Lin's Bracelet, a dark flash appeared as a swarm of insects flew out from it.
These insects were about the size of a fingertip and all dark golden in color. However, compared to Edible, they were much duller in luster and their coloration was closer to dark shades, lacking the brilliance of Edible.
The bugs with large jaws twisted together into a rope and quickly burrowed under the wardrobe. After a moment, they swarmed out again, carrying a milky white Turtle Egg.
Lin quickly took the Turtle Egg from the Swarm and examined it closely.
This Willow Leaf Turtle was just newly hatched; it was incredibly fast but not very strong. Held in Lin's hand, it immediately lost its strength, its short limbs weakly sliding in the air.
"Well done!"
Having caught the Willow Leaf Turtle, Lin Xin was in high spirits. He bought two Energy Blocks from the shop and tossed them in front of Edible as a reward for it and the Swarm.
The Swarm immediately surged forward and devoured the Energy Blocks in an instant, resembling a swarm of locusts with their astonishing speed of consumption.
After finishing the Energy Blocks, Edible and the Swarm seemed unsatisfied. They turned their heads, their red eyes fixated on Fatty, who was a plump piece of meat.
Feeling the malice from the Swarm, Fatty couldn't help but shiver. Those ruby-like eyes now looked like hungry wolves. Fatty took two steps back and stammered, "Bro, quickly use your Divine Ability! I'm about to be eaten!"
Lin chuckled to himself, his eyes darting around as he exclaimed loudly, "Who was it that wanted to gouge out their eyes earlier? Now that you see they called for backup, you're scared!"
"Scared? Fat Master has never feared anyone! If they dare to come one by one, Fat Master will eat them alive!"
Fatty was still putting on a brave front, but soon his chubby face turned purple from holding back. His eyes blinked rapidly as if he was about to cry.
Seeing Fatty's awkward expression, Lin shook his head secretly and shouted, "Edible, come back!" This finally brought the Swarm back into their nest.
Once the Swarm disappeared, not only did Fatty relax his shoulders, but Dreamsource also let out a sigh of relief. Although the girl found Edible amusing, her group of minions felt entirely different. Was being afraid of bugs a girl's nature?
After this brief interlude, the three of them gathered around, staring at the Turtle Eggs.
In Lin's hands, the Turtle Eggs were struggling, its four legs kicking wildly. The egg in front was bulging, and its head seemed to want to break free, but for some unknown reason, it was stuck and couldn't get out.
"This little guy seems unable to get out. Let's help it!" Dream Source couldn't bear to see the Willow Leaf Turtle in such distress.
"Alright."
With a slight click of his tongue, Lin was somewhat reluctant to assist the Willow Leaf Turtle in breaking free from its shell, as it meant easing its birth struggles, which could have negative consequences for it later. That's why he hesitated before taking action.
However, seeing the situation, if he didn't act soon, this little creature would suffocate inside.
With a swift motion, Lin produced the Willow Whisper and made a horizontal cut. Only the tip of the blade grazed the outer layer of the eggshell; he wouldn't dare to use any advanced knife skills here.
If he made even the slightest mistake with this cut, the life of the Willow Leaf Turtle would be in jeopardy.
As he made the cut, the Willow Leaf Turtle's limbs immediately stopped moving, frozen in mid-air. Lin nonchalantly sheathed his knife while Fatty and Dream Source exchanged glances filled with anxiety.
"Bro, you didn't just kill it with that cut, did you?" Fatty mumbled.
"Trust my knife skills. I guarantee that the Willow Leaf Turtle is fine. If it dies, I'll chop off your head and use it as a ball to kick around."
Lin proceeded to pry open the eggshell, which felt somewhat soft to the touch.
"Damn it, if this thing is dead, why would you chop off my head?"
Feeling his own neck, Fatty Chen finally realized what was happening and raised his middle finger at Lin's back.
In the meantime, Lin had already peeled away the Eggshell, and the three of them widened their eyes to see what was happening.
From the narrow slit cut by the knife, a round object emerged—a head resembling that of a snake, much longer than that of an ordinary Willow Leaf Turtle.
"Wow! A Snake-necked Leaf Turtle? A new species? Has it mutated?"
Fatty exclaimed loudly, while Dream Source stared at the turtle's head in confusion. Lin squinted his eyes, remaining silent, but he already had an answer in his mind.
After that intense competition akin to raising a Gu, this creature not only had immense potential but also exhibited physical mutations.
"Hey, hey! Bro, there's another head!"
Another exclamation brought Lin back to reality. He saw another snake-like head emerging from the Turtle Eggs. Strangely, neither of these heads had eyes!
No wonder this creature couldn't fully emerge; the two snake-like heads had filled the front end of the Eggshell, leaving no room for its head to move.
Looking at the two swaying heads, Lin felt something was off.
"Wait, it can't be without eyes; it has another head!"
At this point, Lin Ye couldn't care less. He swung his knife and completely sliced open the Eggshell.
As the Eggshell fell away, the Willow Leaf Turtle finally revealed its full form. Its body appeared much wider than that of an ordinary Willow Leaf Turtle because it had three heads!
The heads on either side lacked eyes and had sharp teeth. Their long necks could arch up and snap in mid-air, looking fierce and menacing.
In between these two long-necked heads was a normal head that resembled that of an ordinary Willow Leaf Turtle, capable of retracting into its shell and possessing eyes on top.
The eyes were shaped like inverted triangles, with sharp teeth bared, giving it the appearance of a vicious beast.
"Uh! Uh! Uh!"
The head in the middle stretched out, sneaking a glance at Lin and calling out to him.
According to the method of raising insects, the first person that this beast sees becomes its master. Given its appearance, it seems that it has already taken Lin as its master.
...
Ten minutes later, the three of them gathered around the dining table, staring at the Willow Leaf Turtle on the table. They watched as it gnawed on a large piece of raw meat and swallowed it whole.
"Have you thought about what to name it?"
Dream Source stared wide-eyed, wanting to touch the creature but recalling how it had fiercely resisted earlier. She hesitated, knowing it was quite ferocious.
"It has three heads, so let's just call it Three!"
Lin smacked his lips, too lazy to think further. If two heads were called Two, then three heads would be Three, and four heads would be Four...
