He had long heard that older turtles would grow pearls on their backs. He didn't expect to see one today. These pearls didn't have any defensive or offensive power. However, if they were embedded in armor, they could double the defense. Twenty-four pearls were equivalent to twenty-four defensive talismans. The difference was that the talismans were one-time use, while the pearls were permanent.
With these twenty-four pearls, the turtle shell would have a permanent defensive buff. Even though the Ironback Snapping Turtle was dead, its shell was still extremely hard.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk … It's such a waste for such a good thing to grow on this old turtle."
Du Feng wrapped the pearls with his divine sense and dug them out from the grooves on the turtle shell. This task seemed easy, but it was actually quite difficult. The grooves on the turtle shell weren't straight, but twisted and curved. Weapons couldn't be inserted at all, and fingers couldn't reach them either. No matter how strong one was, one wouldn't be able to get the vital essence inside without breaking the turtle shell first.
However, divine sense was intangible. After wrapping the pearls, it could be moved out along the complicated cracks on the turtle shell. No matter how difficult it was, it could be moved out bit by bit. After tossing and turning for an hour, he finally managed to move one out.
This thing was too difficult. The turtle shell itself was very hard, while the pearls were extremely fragile. If he used too much force, he would break it. Once the pearl was broken, it was as good as useless. It was said that strengthening the defense with pearls was the Black Tortoise's ability. It seemed that the Ironback Snapping Turtle had inherited a part of it. However, it wasn't born with such pearls. It had to live for more than a thousand years before it would slowly form in the cracks on the shell.
It was said that the Ironback Snapping Turtle secreted a special substance that could slowly absorb certain elements from nature, finally forming the pearls. The Black Tortoise's pearls were probably formed in the same way, but with better effects.
Looking at the shining little pearls, Du Feng couldn't help but admire the uncanny workmanship of nature. After seeing it with his own eyes, he also believed the previous explanation. This thing probably didn't grow on the Ironback Snapping Turtle itself, but a special substance that had accumulated over a long period of time.
Although the pearls were small, they were incredibly round and shone with a rainbow light. That kind of gloss and lubricity had reached a level that could not be imitated artificially. No wonder it took more than a thousand years to form. As for why the pearl could increase its defense, Du Feng couldn't explain it clearly. He only needed to know how to use it.
The most direct use of these rainbow-colored pearls was to embed them on the inside of the armor. Or he could simply seal it inside the soft armor and not be touched by others. Why was it said that it was a pity to grow on an Ironback Snapping Turtle? It was because its movements were too slow, and its head and limbs had weaknesses. If it weren't for this, it wouldn't have been killed by Du Feng so easily.
If a human martial artist had such a defensive power, coupled with a flexible movement technique, their combat ability would be greatly enhanced. No matter how much Du Feng thought about it, he still couldn't bear to use the little pearl on the Red Wraith armor. This armor would be eliminated sooner or later. Once his cultivation broke through to the Heaven Seizing Realm, he would definitely have to change to a new armor. "t" add "add" add "add" to the "". to ".
With the experience of taking out the first few small pearls, the following things were much easier. After taking out the last twenty-four pearls, Du Feng began to ponder about the turtle shell. The best way to deal with this turtle shell was to refine it into a magic treasure. It could be big or small and could be taken out at any time. Furthermore, people could hide inside it.
However, a tortoise shell was different from armor. It was not so easy to refine it into a magic treasure. In order to successfully refine it, one must use one's own blood essence in conjunction with a secret technique and slowly refine it over a long period of time. If he succeeded one day, it would naturally become a great killing weapon.
Not to mention how strong its defense was, such a big and heavy thing would be very fierce if it were to fly out and hit someone. After taking out the tortoise meat and leaving it in the pocket dimension, Du Feng took out the tortoise shell first.
The huge turtle shell was placed beside the river, and it looked like a house. For such a narrow river to be able to breed such a huge Ironback Snapping Turtle, it had to be said that the river was very nutritious. He believed that the fact that it could form 24 pearls on its back was inseparable from the fact that the river was rich in some special substances.
"Roar …"
Just as Du Feng dripped his blood essence on the turtle shell, he heard the roar of a beast coming from afar. The sound was very far away, but it was approaching very quickly. Oh no, his actions had probably been detected by some kind of high rank monster beast.
He formed a seal on the turtle shell and quickly put it away. The Wood Spirit also hid itself, then used its Earth Escape Technique and quickly burrowed underground.
This redwood forest really had everything. Just from the roar of that monster, it was obvious that it was very strong. It might have already reached the level of a seventh rank monster beast. Du Feng did not dare to be careless. He set up a few Nether Eyes on the ground and hid himself very deep underground. He restrained his aura and turned his body into a piece of rotten wood. Not only was there no True Essence fluctuation, even his heart did not beat and his blood did not flow.
The wood spirit girl also felt the terror of that aura, so she added another layer of protection, concealing the killing intent on Du Feng's body. Monster beasts were different from humans. Even if they could not feel the True Essence fluctuation, they could still follow the killing intent and discover Du Feng. It was safer to conceal it.
What the hell. After about a quarter of an hour. Through the Nether Eyes, Du Feng saw a gray and swarthy thing. It looked like a large dog, but it had a pair of pointy ears, like an oversized rabbit. Calling it a rabbit wasn't right, because there were antlers between its ears.
Its claws were very sharp, a bit similar to the claws of winged dragons, iron-winged eagles, and other birds. Its neck was very long, and there was even a bit of mane growing on it. Its torso and limbs were covered in small but dense scales, but its neck was covered in mane. It was really as awkward as it could be, even uglier than the legendary four odd beasts.
What the hell was this thing? He was actually scared to the point of hiding underground by such an ugly thing. Du Feng even had the urge to go out and beat it up to vent his anger. Because this new thing was really too ugly. It gave people the urge to beat it up just by looking at it.
"That's Bi!"
