        "Little phoenix, your enemy is rather formidable!" The old bear jumped high, spitting out a mouthful of wine towards the abnormally sturdy, damp, and highly fire-resistant tortoise shell.

    The Phoenix sprays out a flame at the right moment.

    The wine met with the flames, igniting a raging fire on the shell of the divine tortoise. The old bear picked up a long stick and smashed it repeatedly on the area with the highest temperature of the flames, relying on his immense strength and relentless attacks. On his seventh strike, a piece of shell as large as ten square meters was knocked off.

    "Roar! " Conk excitedly roared as the divine tortoise, covered in blood and qi, had several dead bodies hanging from the cactus spikes on its back. It was obviously not a good thing. As a divine beast, it had no pressure in combat.

    Conk, speeding up from the shore, crashed into the gap blasted by the old bear like a cannonball, its two fangs deeply embedding in the bloodflesh of the divine tortoise.

    The divine tortoise felt intense pain and shook violently, throwing Conk into the air.

    In mid-air, Conk was still complaining, "The smell of its flesh is terrible!"

    The dragon girl's toes flicked in the air, flipping and landing on Conk's back. After landing, they charged again, this time directly penetrating under the shell of the divine tortoise without slowing down. The dragon girl drew out her twin swords and rapidly slashed at the divine tortoise's limbs, delivering seven or eight swift strikes.

    This attack caused only minor damage, but the elements of women, swords, and limbs awakened the long-forgotten memories of the divine tortoise. It was extremely angry, roaring continuously, and tried to catch up with Conk before biting them both into pieces.

    Conk was not adept in aquatic battles, but with the Dragon Girl controlling the water, they still ran like flying on the surface of the river. They zigzagged and weaved through the Tong River, using their agile movements to speed up.

    The divine tortoise's attention was completely drawn, and it was so angry that it wanted to catch up with them. The phoenix and the old bear launched round after round of fierce attacks from behind, causing the shell of the divine tortoise to visibly crumble.

    Zi You stood far away, cheering for them. The unlucky tiger, deer, and sheep three demons could only hide far away with "old turtle."

    "Does this guy seem to have dragon bloodline?" The old bear was kicked in the chest by the divine tortoise. Fortunately, his skin was tough and his defense was strong. If it were even a little weaker, he would be lying on the ground now.

    The phoenix of course would not reveal the divine tortoise's true identity. The creature's original form is a turtle with a dragon's body, which is indeed a dragon. It is most likely an old dragon that survived from the early era of dragons and phoenixes, and its bloodline is more authentic than that of many Dragon Kings.

    "Maybe so! Cooperate with me, old bear!"

    "Alright!"

    The old bear held the wine in his mouth and then spat out a conical stream, which perfectly obscured the mist covering the phoenix's figure.

    The phoenix circled around to the side, taking advantage of the divine tortoise's lack of defenses, and grabbed the area where the shell was broken with its claws, pulling it forcefully outward.

    Afterward, feeling that this was still inconvenient, he used his divine ability "Law of Heaven and Earth" again.

    The phoenix, towering a hundred zhang high, pressed down on the divine tortoise firmly, and its massive claws, engulfed in flames, kept thrusting into the shell.

    The temperature of the river surface soared suddenly, and a large amount of water evaporated. Shards of the tortoise shell and the blood and flesh of the divine tortoise floated on the river surface, emanating a pungent odor.

    The old bear also produced the Tian Shu, the Book of Heaven.

    The Tian Shu in the heavenly woman's sky contains the "Size Satisfaction" in the 36th variation of the Heavenly Star, but he has not mastered it yet and relies on the Tian Shu for assistance.

    "Big! Big! Big!"

    The old bear also transformed to a height of a hundred zhang. "Roar!" he shouted, jumping up and swinging a punch towards the divine tortoise's head. His body powered up from the side, and his elbows repeatedly smashed out, pushing and pulling at the same time, trying to overturn the large and imposing figure of the divine tortoise.

    His combat intuition was incredible. He took advantage of the divine tortoise's power waning and fresh power not yet generated, and with a powerful push on his shoulders, he forced one of the divine tortoise's feet off the water.

    The phoenix immediately seized the divine tortoise's shattered shell, digging its claws into the flesh with deadly force, and flapping its wings to gain momentum.

    Dragging the cumbersome divine tortoise, the phoenix could not fly fast or high. Sensing that she had reached her limit, she released her claws and allowed the divine tortoise to plummet towards the ground.

    The old bear used "Zhi Di Cheng Gang" from the 36th variation of Tian Gong again. He condensed his full magical power into a steel column that was a hundred meters long, over ten meters in diameter, and became increasingly sharp at the top.

    "Puff!" The divine tortoise's delicate abdomen was pierced by the steel column, which then pierced through an enormous wound diagonally inside.

    After suffering such a grievous wound, the powerful healing ability of the divine tortoise could not make up for it. After one hour, it was finally defeated by the combined attacks of the divine beast squad and constant blood loss, resulting in its death.

    The phoenix laid down an array on the spot to extract the essence and blood from the divine tortoise, transforming it into true spirit marks.

    The rest of the divine beast squad went into the water to search for treasures. The tiger, deer, and sheep demons, well aware of the principle that wealth comes with danger, seeing no one to stop them, followed suit. In the end, even "Old Turtle" walked steadily, continuously consuming the remaining blood and flesh left by the divine tortoise at the edge of the battlefield.

    The phoenix spent over an hour and a half to finally deal with the divine tortoise. Deng Changyu's true form sighed in relief, as she also had troubles on her side.

    The remaining people of Longpo Country first handed her the fishing rod, so she had to help resolve the crisis here.

    She stood at the edge of an exceptionally dense forest, with a giant beside her. Due to the decline in energy in the heavens and earth, these giants had become shorter.

    The giant was disheveled and yet incongruously clad in robes resembling those of a fairy maiden, much like a bearded cross-dresser.

    "Lead the way."

    "Okay."

    They were very careful as they made their way through the forest. Although in Deng Changyu's view, the steps of the giant dressed in women's clothes were obvious, she was still vigilant, looking around and not missing any trace.

    "This is?" Passing a large tree, they saw a giant mummy hanging from the trunk, its insides having been emptied of blood and muscle, leaving only a skeleton wrapped in skin.

    The dressed-up giant nodded forcefully: "Yes, it's a dragon."

    The name "Dragon" to them was equivalent to a leader or an elder. Deng Changyu reached out and touched the skin of the mummy, which was full of resentment, indicating that this clan leader died in great agony.

    If left unchecked, in a few decades or even a hundred years, this thing would definitely become a zombie.

    "Do you think that guy is still nearby?" she asked the dressed-up giant.

    The dressed-up giant was also unable to say for sure.

    Deng Changyu thought for a moment, silently calculating.

    She took out a magical token, and her fingers appeared with a red flame. She wrote a "Jade" character on the front of the token and handed it to the dressed-up giant: "You go to the place I'm pointing to. Yes, it's a hundred steps away from me. That's your step away. When I turn left, do you know which way? Oh, God!"

    It took her a bit of time, but she finally had the dressed-up giant cooperate with her and set up a simple Bagua array in the dense forest.

    Deng Changyu closed her eyes and sensed for a moment: "There's no trace of that guy within a hundred steps. Now I turn left, and you face me as well, turning left too. We need to maintain a distance of a hundred steps from each other."

    They searched in the dense forest until dawn the next day. Deng Changyu's eyes brightened and she immediately brought out the Land and Water Societies Painting!

    The ink painting replaced the original dense forest. The giant dressed in women's clothes was stunned, with her hands nowhere to rest and unsure of what to do.

    Deng Changyu paid no attention to him and instead laid down the Two-phase Dust Array with the Green Light Two-in-One Lamp. Only then did she look at an inconspicuous corner of the Land and Water Societies Painting world.

    A golden cicada with six wings and a tough exoskeleton was staring at her fiercely.

    This is one of the five fierce insects of the Hongxia era, the six-winged golden cicada! It is said that this insect is impervious to blades and guns, water and fire. It feeds on six paths of living beings and has a huge appetite, always in a state of food search.

    Deng Changyu set up the array, feeling that she had already obtained an invincible position. She looked at the golden cicada: "What are you looking at? You, a grasshopper that lives and dies in a day, I will today avenge the ten innocent giants of Longpo Country who were killed!"
