People With Bad Intentions
Following Qin Yi's gaze, a dozen blue tortoises of various sizes leisurely bathed in the sunlight by the lake. They have a thick dark blue shell with white spots and a long tail.
According to the map he followed, this lake is the territory of the Deep Blue Tortoises.
Deep Blue Tortoises are water-attribute magical beasts. As such, they are powerful when they are in the water. They also have a solid shell and physical attacks have little effect on it.
The tortoise shells of magical beasts are very suitable for refining defensive-type artifacts. Because of this, turtle-kind magical beasts became the favorite magical beast hunted by many cultivators.
As far as he knew, Qin Yi's Soft Cloud Shield was also made from tortoise shells of Rank 3 Deep Blue Tortoise. That's why the defense that it has is solid.
For this reason, Qin Yi wanted to use the Deep Blue Tortoise as his second soul beast, hoping that he could form an illusion with a strong defense.
Near the lake, the terrain is open, and the view is excellent and vivid. Deep Blue Tortoises would definitely be able to sense someone entering their territory.
According to the classics, the Deep Blue Tortoise was extraordinarily timid and had a strong awareness. They will quickly crawl back into the lake if they sense an intruder.
The lake in front of Qin Yi is big and dark. He couldn't see what was happening underneath. If he allowed these Deep Blue Tortoises to escape into the lake, it was unknown if he could see them emerge from the lake again.
Qin Yi thought for a moment before he came up with an idea.
He activated the Colorless Cloak and maximized Turtle Breathing Technique. After that, his whole body became transparent, his aura fainted, and his breath disappeared.
After finishing all this, Qin Yi sauntered toward the Rank 2 Deep Blue Tortoise.
Ten, twenty, fifty, and one hundred steps… the closer he was to the Rank 2 Deep Blue Tortoise, the faster his heartbeat.
When Qin Yi was only a few steps away, the Rank 2 Deep Blue Tortoise suddenly seemed to sense something and swiftly crawled toward the lake. In the blink of an eye, the Rank 2 Deep Blue Tortoise had submerged itself in the water.
Qin Yi was startled when he saw this situation. At first, he didn't intend to show up too early, but as soon as he saw the Deep Blue Tortoises, one by one, swiftly crawling towards the lake, he immediately threw the icy-colored talisman forward.
Suddenly, a large amount of cold white air gushed out from the icy-colored talisman, quickly enveloping the area within a hundred-meters radius.
When the cold white air spread, the temperature drastically lowered down to zero. Everything within that radius immediately froze into ice, including the plants, the surface of the lake, and the Deep Blue Tortoises crawling into the lake.
They didn't even have time to make a sound as they became ice sculptures.
The talisman that Qin Yi had just used was the Ice and Snow Domain Talisman. It was a Rank 2 talisman with a large-scale attack whose primary function was to freeze the area and the creatures within it.
This frozen state could last for an hour, so Qin Yi was not in a hurry to execute his aim. Instead, he suddenly took out a Rank 2 Fire Dragon Talisman and threw it forward.
The Fire Dragon Talisman instantly transformed into a red fire dragon, flying in a particular direction in the dense forest.
An erratic blue light suddenly shone as the red-fire dragon dived into the forest.
The blue light turned into blue water, which rolled and surged until it turned into a blue water dragon and pounced on the red fire dragon.
The blue water dragon collided with the red fire dragon, creating a "psshh" sound and countless white vapors.
"What is the meaning of this, your excellency? Don't you know that lighting a fire in the forest is dangerous? You can damage the ecosystem..."
Along with these mocking remarks, four figures consisting of two males and two females stepped out from the white steam. The two men were about thirty years old; one was carrying a horsetail whisk in his hand, the other was sheathing a long blade at his waist, and the remaining women were one wearing a long red dress and the other wearing a yellow dress. The two women are beautiful and have heroic looks.
The two men's cultivation bases were Middle Stage Foundation Establishment and Late Stage Foundation Establishment. In comparison, the two women have cultivation bases of the Early Foundation Establishment.
The horsetail whisk is no ordinary instrument. The fact that it could produce a blue water dragon, it was at least a Normal Artifact.
Qin Yi snickered and answered, "I personally think that people doing sneaky things is much more dangerous than starting a fire in the forest. Brothers and sisters, I wonder what your purpose is in doing that?"
Since arriving at the Roaring Beast Mountain Range, Qin Yi had never let go of his divine sense except on occasions when he didn't want to alarm some powerful magical beasts.
Magical beasts were dangerous, but cultivators could be even more dangerous than magical beasts. Naturally, he wouldn't be careless even if he didn't see anyone around.
Just now, when he used the Ice and Snow Domain Talisman to deal with the Deep Blue Tortoises, his divine sense accidentally sensed a wave of spiritual qi from within the forest.
If they were innocent passersby, they would have immediately left as soon as they saw Qin Yi manage to freeze the Deep Blue Tortoises, but they just stood there like they were waiting for something. All fools knew that they clearly had bad intentions.
"That's quite a harsh thing to say. We just happened to pass by this place. I hope this brother understands." The woman in red rolled her eyes when she saw Qin Yi covered with artifacts and said with a sweet smile.
"Just pass by?" Qin Yi sneered and said, "Then, why don't you leave now?"
"Of course, we will leave after you leave your space ring behind and leave this place." The man with the long knife could no longer maintain his pretense and revealed his actual intentions.
"Sure!" Qin Yi agreed without hesitation.
After that, he threw the space ring on the ground, opened the void, jumped into it, and disappeared.
Qin Yi's quick action left the four people dumbfounded.
"This... what just happened?" The man with the long blade looked at his three companions with a dumbstruck expression.
The other three did not immediately reply. They just stared blankly at the place where Qin Yi had disappeared, unsure of what had just happened.
"How did that guy disappear?" Pointing her finger to the certain spot, the yellow-dressed woman asked doubtfully.
"Maybe he uses a talisman..." The red-dressed woman said with an uncertain answer.
The man with a horsetail whisk frowned and said, "I didn't see him use the talisman, but I saw a black hole suddenly appear behind him, then he jumped into it and disappeared."
The red-dressed woman thought something before she said, "Could it be that he has a space-type artifact that can allow him to enter space and hide there?"
"But I also didn't see him use an artifact. That black hole just appeared out of nowhere..." The yellow-dressed woman expressed her doubt.
"Forget about that! Let's take a look at what he left behind. Maybe we'll get a clue from it." The man with the long blade spoke eagerly.
"Be careful! That guy's actions are abnormal. Maybe he didn't go but hid and waited for us to be careless..."
Unfortunately, the man with the long blade didn't listen. He mindlessly ran to the space ring lying on the ground and picked it up.
"Hey, I can't open this space ring!" He shouted at his companions.
"Let me see!" The yellow-dressed woman walked over after ensuring no ambush on the man with the long blade.
The closer she gets, the less vigilant she becomes, thinking that the black-cloaked person might have really left.
But suddenly, without a sign and warning, a black arrow shot out from the dense forest. It flew toward her at a speed that her eyes couldn't catch up.
With a muffled sound, the black arrow hit the yellow-dressed woman's chest.
