Chapter 940: Chapter 941: Old Turtle_1
Song Jian glanced at the Three-legged Fla Crow Beast’s dropped loot; the most precious thing among them was probably this pet egg for a flying mount. Although the Fla Crow Beast’s na didn’t sound very appealing, it had an excellent appearance, almost identical to the legendary Three-legged Golden Crow. If there wasn’t a real Three-legged Golden Crow standing beside it, probably nine out of ten people would mistake the Fla Crow Beast for a Three-legged Golden Crow.
“One million two hundred thousand Doomsday Coins, selling it to you. How about that? This is a friendship price!” Song Jian glanced at Lan Ling, any piece of equipnt she took out at random was probably worth more than that amount. One million and a hundred thousand Doomsday Coins should not be a lot of money for her.
“One… one million two hundred thousand?” Lan Ling’s eyes went wide in disbelief, finding it hard to believe the pet egg could be so expensive.
“This is a pet egg for a flying mount, one million two hundred thousand, not a coin less!” Song Jian nodded firmly and asserted.
“But I only have about one hundred thousand Doomsday Coins on now…” Lan Ling’s face showed hesitation as she spoke softly.
“Heh, then I’m sorry!” Song Jian laughed and stored the pet egg in his inventory.
“All right, we’re even. Let’s part ways here!” Song Jian gestured goodbye to Lan Ling, summoned the Sky-breaking Sword, and prepared to leave this place using the Sword Flight Art.
Lan Ling’s eyes quickly darted around, and she hurriedly stopped him, calling out loudly, “In a few days, it will be my mother’s grand birthday. Would you be interested in joining at Jiuli Xuan Yue Cave to attend my mother’s birthday celebration? At that ti, many skilled individuals will co to wish my mother well, and a few words of guidance from them could benefit you greatly. How about it?”
“Why should I, who has no relation to you, presumptuously attend? What if I get kicked out? No, thanks! No, thanks!” Song Jian laughed heartily and waved his hand.
“Who would dare to kick you out if I bring you?” Lan Ling said enthusiastically. “Moreover, my mother’s Lan Zhi Library contains tens of thousands of books, among which there are no shortage of sword techniques. I can sneak you in to have a look, and you could learn one or two superior sword skills. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
Watching Lan Ling’s head waggle, Song Jian found it amusing and couldn’t resist teasing her, “The sword techniques I’ve learned are from unparalleled secrets of the Sword Immortal, how could the sword techniques in your mother’s library compare?”
“Hmph, what’s so great about that?” Lan Ling wrinkled her nose, her face full of pride as she said, “My mother’s Lan Zhi Library encompasses everything. What sword techniques aren’t there? Not to ntion Sword Immortal’s secrets, even the moves of the Sword Saint and Sword God can be found in the library!”
Song Jian was taken aback and sized up Lan Ling. Had anyone else made such a claim, Song Jian would have dismissed it as re boasting, but coming from Lan Ling, he couldn’t help but believe her to so extent. After all, even though he did not know the exact status of the heir of Jiuli Xuan Yue Cave, he could tell from Lan Ling’s equipnt that her status was likely much more noble than he had imagined.
A thought struck Song Jian; if he could actually acquire one or two Sword Immortal techniques from that library Lan Ling ntioned, wouldn’t he hit the jackpot?
“Well then, I haven’t got much on my hands lately. Taking a trip out to see the world isn’t a bad idea!” Song Jian nodded and agreed.
Seeing that Song Jian had agreed, Lan Ling instantly brightened up. She mounted her Dragon Lizard Beast, led the way, and soon they both left the nest of the Fla Crow Beast, heading in a different direction.
Song Jian had thought that Xuanyue Cave wasn’t too far from Doomsday City, but unexpectedly, the two of them walked for two days and nights.
Standing in front of a vast river that stretched farther than the eye could see, Song Jian looked at Lan Ling with a bit of resentnt and said, “Didn’t you say Xuanyue Cave wasn’t far?”
“It’s not far!” Lan Ling said with an innocent expression, “Once we cross this river, we will be in the territory of Xuanyue Cave. After we pass through the Windswept Stone Forest, it’s less than a hundred miles to Xuanyue Cave!”
Song Jian: “…”
Song Jian suddenly realized that he seed to have been deceived by the young girl. Along the way, the river was five to six hundred kiloters away from Doomsday City, which was not just far but equivalent to two or three round trips between Doomsday City and the City of Sin.
Since he had already arrived here, he couldn’t go back. Gritting his teeth, Song Jian persisted, considering it a cost to acquire a Sword Immortal skill!
“Do you want to carry you and fly across?” Song Jian asked.
The Sword Flight Art couldn’t carry others, but whether it was the steel wings or the Fla Light Wings, Song Jian could carry soone and fly for a short ti.
Lan Ling glanced at Song Jian, her cheeks slightly reddened, and without saying a word, she just shook her head, whispering, “Wait a mont, there will be a boat!”
Song Jian was stunned; he hadn’t expected the girl to be rather traditional!
The two waited for about fifteen minutes when Song Jian saw a huge shadow drifting over the rolling river surface.
This shadow was at least ten ters wide, and that was only what was visible above the water. What was hidden below was anyone’s guess.
It seed the shadow was coming from the opposite bank of the river, heading straight for them.
Even before it neared, Song Jian felt a heavy pressure bearing down on him, like a child standing beside a strange, burly man—though the man didn’t make any movents to harm the child, the child couldn’t help but want to keep his distance.
“Be careful, back off!” Song Jian, pulling on Lan Ling’s sleeve, slowly retreated. The aura emanating from the shadow before them was definitely on par with a dominion-level BOSS.
Lan Ling looked at Song Jian curiously, flicked off his hand, and said, “The boat is here, what are we retreating for?”
“Ling’er, if you call a boat again, watch out. I might never ferry you across the river again, letting you sneak out and never return ho!” The shadow in the water slowly surfaced, and Song Jian was shocked to see a massive turtle like a small island. The diater of the greenish-black shell on the turtle’s back was over thirty ters. Its limbs were thick, its skin wrinkled, and its surface covered with fine scales. Even the head that protruded was adorned with two horns resembling those of a Giant Dragon.
The properties of the turtle were a series of question marks in Song Jian’s eyes, whether it was the na, level, or rank, Song Jian couldn’t see any of it. This was partly because Song Jian hadn’t learned an exploratory skill yet, but it also had a direct relation to the imnse strength of the turtle.
Upon hearing the old turtle speak, Lan Ling stuck out her tongue and coquettishly said, “Grandpa Turtle, please spare Ling’er this ti, I won’t dare to do it again!”
“Hahaha, is Ling’er bringing her lover back to show to your mother?” The old turtle’s pair of blue eyes stared at Song Jian, sizing him up. Though his tone was light-hearted, Song Jian could feel a faint killing intent in the old turtle’s gaze.
“Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, what lover? Grandpa Turtle, your words are so unpleasant to hear!” Lan Ling’s cheeks burned as if on fire, and she quickly explained, “Song Jian is just a regular friend of mine, and his visit is only to attend my mother’s birthday celebration!”
