"I don't know, an ordinary turtle can't live for such a long time. This thing is not an ordinary creature." Jin Abacus shook his head and said.

"I'll catch it and take a look."

Chen Yulou turned over and jumped into the hole again, stepping on a turtle shell covered with green moss.

I saw the green turtle's head suddenly stretched out, turned around and bit off a corner of Chen Yulou's leather boots.

Chen Yulou took the opportunity to grab its head and threw it onto the stone platform.

Then he looked at the leaky leather boots and felt a little distressed.

It’s freezing and snowy, and there’s a hole in the leather boots. How can we go back?

The green turtle reached the hard stone floor, its limbs and head retracted into the turtle shell, motionless.

The golden abacus circled the green turtle twice, and he had a guess in his mind, but it still needed to be confirmed.

"Boy Chen, bring me the opened fruit."

Chen Yulou took out the fruit of life and handed it to Jin Abacus.

Smelling the smell of fruit pulp, the green turtle suddenly became agitated. It stretched out its thick limbs and its head was hidden in the turtle shell, moving slowly towards the golden abacus.

Seeing that the green turtle didn't show its head, Jin Abacus had no choice but to hand the pulp to Partridge Whistle, who then handed it to Chen Yulou and went around in a circle.

The green turtle kept spinning in circles, and it was dizzy from being played. It was really annoyed, and finally it was willing to stick out its head and roar.

It has a big mouth on its snake-head-like face, and a pair of ears growing diagonally above the big mouth. The ears are very similar to human ears and are shaped like a "3".

Golden Abacus looked happy: "It is indeed this thing. Today we are really lucky. First, we got the fruit of life, and we even encountered a turtle that sheds its shell."

Molting turtle?

Partridge Whistle also showed a smile: "Is it really a molting turtle? It is said that the shell of this turtle is the holy antidote, which can cure hundreds of poisons."

Molting turtles have been recorded in many strange people and stories. During the Taizong period of the Tang Dynasty, a merchant ship transporting goods from Southeast Asia ate a certain poisonous sea fish, and all the people on the ship except three watermen were killed.

It turned out that these three people ate a turtle caught in the sea beforehand and were safe.

When the ship docked, the turtle shell was turned around several times and was later used as a tribute by local officials and presented to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Later, this official was promoted several levels in a row and was rewarded with a lot of property by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Although this story is not necessarily true, it is true that the shell of the molting turtle can detoxify hundreds of poisons.

Jin Abacus said: "It's almost the same. The ears of the molting turtle are similar to those of humans. The shell is green, which is a rare species. Although the shell of this green turtle is covered with green moss, I can see that the background color is also green.

, it should be the molting turtle recorded in ancient books."

"Should this thing be killed or taken away?" Chen Yulou asked.

The golden abacus is a bit confusing. The value of a molting turtle lies entirely in the shell on its back. This thing feeds on fruit and vines in pits and has grown for who knows how many years before it reaches the size of a palm.

Even if you take it home and raise it, you probably won’t grow up anymore.

It would be a pity to kill it and take the shell back. After all, this thing is a rare beast and difficult to find in the world.

While everyone was talking, the molting turtle kept roaring, stupidly and stupidly, and kept opening and closing its big mouth, exuding a fishy smell.

Partridge Whistle suggested: "I think it's better to take it back. The pond in the backyard of the third brother's house is big enough to put it in."

Chen Yulou thought that there was a shark in the lake in Ye Bai's backyard. With the shark there, he should be able to suppress the molting turtle.

Everyone nodded, no doubts.

Then Jin Abacus threw the raw fruit flesh to the molting turtle, took advantage of the opportunity for it to eat, tied it up, covered its head with a black cloth, and put it into the backpack carried by Chen Yulou.

Coming out of the cave, everyone headed downstream along the river full of crystal veins.

After walking for a whole day, the number of glowing jellyfish gradually decreased, and the temperature of the river water was no longer freezing.

But the water is much deeper and has already submerged everyone’s knees.

However, the water here is very clear, and you can see the bottom if you shine it with a flashlight.

While resting, Chen Yulou caught a lot of transparent shrimps in the water.

The meat of this kind of shrimp is plump and sweet, and it tastes good when eaten raw, so Chen Yulou fished out a big bag and asked the big man Jiang Yu to carry it on his back.

For some unknown reason, Jiang Yu's trauma recovered very quickly. In just a day or two, the wound had already healed with scars.

Knowing that Jiang Yu was fully recovered from his injuries, Partridge Whistle looked at Jiang Chanyi thoughtfully.

After everyone walked for a long time, the ice abyss finally came to an end.

A crystal wall dozens of meters high appeared in front of me, with mysterious symbols and marks on the wall.

The crystal wall is so radiant that when one stands under this magnificent wall, one feels as small as an ant.

Everyone was a little shocked by the work of the Demon Kingdom that lasted for thousands of years.

"This is the door to disaster." Jiang Chanyi suddenly said.

"Door of disaster? What is door of disaster? Little girl Jiang, please explain to me." Jin Abacus couldn't help but ask.

"I just heard Grandpa Tie say that the Demon Kingdom comes out of the Gate of Disaster, bringing death and war. He said that although the Gate of Disaster is beautiful, there is endless evil hidden inside." Jiang Chanyi explained.

Jin Abacus nodded: "If this is really the door to disaster, then we should be close to the Eluohai City we are looking for, but further down here there should be an underground lake. Is it possible that Eluohai City was built in the water?"

"How about I get into the water first and take a look?" Partridge Whistle said. Among the people present, he was the only one with the best water skills.

The golden abacus knocked in front of the crystal wall. It was very thick. It is estimated that there is a large wall behind the crystal wall. Now there is no good way but to let the partridge whistle explore the way first.

The base of the crystal wall is not in the river, and the river water passes through the wall, which means there is a space for water to flow through under the base of the wall.

The partridge whistle took a deep breath and got into the small pool where the water gathered.

Chen Yulou counted the time, and the time passed by second by second, and there was no movement on the water surface.

Everyone was a little helpless. With Partridge Whistle's skills, he hasn't come back for so long. Could it be that he encountered danger down there?

Just when Chen Yulou wanted to go into the water to explore the situation, Partridge Whistle suddenly emerged from the water.

"Are you okay?" Chen Yulou hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Partridge Whistle shook his head: "The passage in the crystal wall is not very wide. You can swim through it in about ten seconds, but the water on the opposite side is very dark. It seems to be an underground lake with no light."

"How is the water flow in the lake?" Jin Abacus asked.

"There are a lot of undercurrents under the water. If I hadn't left the sky-drilling rope in advance, I might have been washed away by the rapids." Partridge Whistle was still frightened.

Jin Abacus said with some worry: "That situation is not good. According to what you said, we will have to float on the water after we get there. I don't know how deep the underground lake is. Our physical strength will eventually be exhausted. I'm afraid we won't be able to swim by then.

Not coming back."

Chen Yulou thought about it for a while, and then he said: "Why not, my second brother and I will go down to explore again. It would be best if we can find a place to rest near the lake. If we can't find it, we will find a way."

At this moment, a thumping sound came from the crystal stone wall.

The sound seemed to come from the other side.
