170: The Four Evil Turtles? Now it's my mobile immortal palace!
Both of Yuan Ye's heads had clearly been severed.
However, this turtle shell, made of black rock, moved slowly like a giant island on the seabed.
Seeing this, Ao Jiao's golden eyes gleamed with ferocity.
"While you're sick, I'll take your life! Spit Little Bean Sprout out for me!"
Accompanied by a Dragon roar, the Ancient Dragon Clan's powerful vitality was displayed at this moment.
Ao Jiao, who had just been severely injured and fallen to the ground, had all her external injuries completely healed, and her body had regained consciousness.
As she prepared to fiercely strike the turtle shell with her crystal Dragon Horn, Li Yan's voice came from within the turtle shell.
"Wait!"
Hmm?
Ao Jiao was stunned, her massive Dragon body paused in the seawater.
At this moment, a small golden Dragon emerged from the front of the turtle shell; it was precisely Li Yan's Dragon Soul Golden Body.
Upon seeing Li Yan, Ao Jiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Little Bean Sprout, it's good that you're alright."
But she then looked at Li Yan with a suspicious expression.
"Little Bean Sprout, after you were swallowed by that Yuan Ye, you were actually able to withstand the Twenty-Four Mountain Yin Fire within its body?"
"And this Yuan Ye has no head, how is it moving again?"
Facing Ao Jiao's many confusions, Li Yan simply brushed them off.
"I also don't know why I could withstand this Twenty-Four Mountain Yin Fire."
"But while I was in its belly, I cut off its beast core and used the Heavenly Capital Corpse Refining Art to refine Yuan Ye's turtle shell into a Corpse Puppet."
Upon hearing that Li Yan could actually refine Yuan Ye, one of the Four Fiends, into a Corpse Puppet!?
Ao Jiao's golden eyes showed an expression of disbelief: "How much Magic Power do you need to refine this Yuan Ye, which is nearly a thousand li long?"
"And it doesn't look dead; although it has no head, it still remains in a living state?"
Ao Jiao's questions grew more numerous, and Li Yan began to change the subject.
After all, when he used Spells with side effects, the effects would always change.
The side effect of this Heavenly Capital Corpse Refining Art was to refine people into Corpse Puppets.
After Li Yan's side effect turned positive, the Corpse Refining Art became half a resurrection Spell.
As a result, Li Yan could be considered to have obtained a Yuan Ye that completely obeyed him; apart from the two heads that were cut off, everything else was still normal.
Moreover, this Yuan Ye was enormous in size; if a city were built on its turtle shell, it would be enough to accommodate millions of people.
This Yuan Ye Corpse Puppet could completely serve as a mobile castle.
As for the beast core Li Yan had taken out, he put it back.
Because Li Yan discovered that this Yuan Ye Corpse Puppet had too many benefits.
Firstly, it could serve as a floating city.
That's right, although this Yuan Ye lived at the bottom of the sea, it could fly by relying on Magic Power!
Secondly, Yuan Ye's stomach sac was comparable to an Artifact Refining furnace!
The Twenty-Four Mountain Yin Fire in its stomach sac could even dissolve Divine Artifacts, making this large turtle shell an excellent mobile Immortal Abode.
"This Yuan Ye's belly can hold treasures and refine Artifacts."
"An Immortal Abode can be built within the mountains on this turtle shell."
"As I slowly refine this Yuan Ye into a Corpse Puppet, it will also serve as a personal meat shield."
Upon hearing Li Yan say this, Ao Jiao also highly approved.
"Yuan Ye's turtle shell is incredibly hard and has sharp barbs."
"Its entire body is a treasure; keeping it by your side can also protect you, that's good, Little Bean Sprout."
"Your Corpse Refining Art is even more powerful than the North Sea Ancient Dragon's."
"That, you…"
Before Ao Jiao could finish speaking, her eyelids began to feel heavy, and her entire body started to sink.
Looking at this heavily scarred silver-white giant Dragon, Li Yan rarely showed a tender side.
"You rest first, I'll stay here and guard."
"This place is Yuan Ye's cave, so no evil creatures will dare to approach for now."
It was the first time Ao Jiao had seen Li Yan, this Little Bean Sprout, speak to her so softly.
This stubborn Dragon grinned, speaking with a tone of pride and narcissism.
"Am I cool, sis? Was it cool when I rushed out just now and crashed into that Yuan Ye?"
Li Yan calmly stated a heartbreaking fact: "I could have handled it without you."
As soon as he said this, Ao Jiao spat out a mouthful of Dragon blood: "That's harsh, Little Bean Sprout."
But then he changed his tone.
"However, if it weren't for you, I really would have had to put in some effort, and almost let one of those heads escape."
Ao Jiao at this moment wished she could bite Li Yan: "Next time you speak, can you say it all in one breath!"
"That last sentence really hurt my sister's heart."
Li Yan placed his paw on Ao Jiao's head: "Go to sleep quickly, and recover from your internal injuries as soon as possible."
"Hmph."
Ao Jiao haughtily turned her Dragon head away, as if in front of her own Clan, she could drop her cold disguise.
But…
Li Yan knew in his heart that he was, after all, of the Human Race.
Humans and Ancient Dragons, with such a vast difference in size and different species, how could they possibly be together?
Just speaking of Ao Jiao's massive body, stretching for a thousand li, for such a large female Dragon to cling to you, that wouldn't be a very romantic thing.
That weight, like Mount Tai pressing down, is terrifying, brother, who could bear it?
Furthermore, Ao Jiao was devoted to him due to a misunderstanding.
She had simply not seen her own kind for too long, and set her sights on Li Yan.
But thinking back to just now, in order to save him, she risked her life to fight Yuan Ye, one of the Four Fiends.
If Li Yan said he wasn't moved, that would be false.
This Ancient Dragon's bravery just now greatly improved Li Yan's impression of her.
Li Yan's gaze shifted to the side; Ao Jiao was curled up in a ball, eyes closed, healing her injuries.
Relying on the Ancient Dragon's powerful Bloodline, she only needed a simple sleep to heal her wounds.
Li Yan raised his paw and controlled the Yuan Ye Corpse Puppet to block the cave entrance, preventing deep-sea evil spirits from disturbing them.
With Yuan Ye, this nearly invincible turtle shell, Li Yan's mind also became more active.
"When we get to the Eastern Wasteland Ruins, I can also put all the Dragon Clan treasures inside this turtle shell."
"This way, this Yuan Ye will be my mobile Immortal Abode plus warehouse, excellent, excellent!"
Since he was idle anyway, Li Yan remembered seeing something in Yuan Ye's belly just now.
His Dragon Soul Golden Body once again submerged into Yuan Ye's body; the high temperature in its stomach sac would melt even an Immortal.
But Li Yan remembered seeing something in the lava just now.
"I remember seeing something here just now, where did it go?"
Li Yan reached his paw into the lava in the stomach sac, stirring it, and quickly touched something.
"Yes, that's it!"
Excitement flashed in his eyes as he forcefully lifted the lump of iron from the lava.
Li Yan looked closely; it was a strange piece of metal, glowing red from the high temperature.
"Logically, any metal in Yuan Ye's stomach sac would be refined into molten iron."
"But this lump of iron has been in the gastric fluid for a long time without melting."
"If it could be refined into a Magic Treasure, this would probably be extraordinary…"
It was at this moment that several lines of text popped up in front of Li Yan.
