I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 170: Chapter 69: Displaying Unique Talents

When Huo Heng appeared in front of everyone again, besides two black eyes, he also had a swollen pighead face.

Even so, Huo Heng remained steadfast and didn’t confess under duress.

Feng Ya and Shui Rou actually believed his words long ago, but since the embarrassing incident was known to everyone with nowhere to vent, they could only continue to take their anger out on Huo Heng.

Poor Huo Heng took another good beating.

Fortunately, Han Zhan appeared just in time to save him from dire straits.

”Shui Rou.” Han Zhan pushed open the door and saw Feng Ya and Shui Rou beating Huo Heng. He waved at Shui Rou.

Upon hearing Han Zhan’s voice, Shui Rou didn’t even look at Huo Heng and just followed Han Zhan, responding softly.

Her obedient demeanor made it seem as if she wasn’t the one involved in the fight just now.

Seeing Han Zhan and Shui Rou leave together, Feng Ya also stopped, quickly following them out.

”I need you and the villagers of Water Village to help me with something.”

”I want to cross the sea and head to the continent at the end of the North Sea. I talked with Village Chief Tu Housheng, and he thinks the body of the North Sea Profound Turtle might help us.”

”After his suggestion, I thought of a way, but this method requires the assistance of you and the villagers of Water Village.”

Han Zhan’s plan was actually quite simple.

Because the North Sea Profound Turtle was subdued by Fu Xi using the Fu Xi Zither, as part of the zither’s mechanism, the Ancient Resentful Sunset Array already contained two battle spirits: the Tier Eight Peak Evil Dragon and the Tier Nine Peak North Sea Profound Turtle.

Unfortunately, the time that the battle spirits can be maintained is limited, so Han Zhan was worried that they might sink into the sea halfway across.

The safest method was to find the large shell of the North Sea Profound Turtle and use it as a giant ship, then control it forward using the battle spirit of the North Sea Profound Turtle.

This way, even if Han Zhan’s spiritual power is insufficient, he can still take short breaks.

After hearing Han Zhan’s words, Shui Rou’s cold voice seemed to melt like spring wind, becoming soft and gentle.

She gazed at Han Zhan with eyes like water and said, ”Lord Han Zhan, asking for help is too formal. It is what I should do to relieve your worries.”

”I will now gather all the villagers of Water Village to search for the corpse of the Profound Turtle in the North Sea.”

”That would be great!” Han Zhan said happily.

Seeing Han Zhan’s smile, Shui Rou’s face also lit up with a smile, like the sun breaking through after rain.

She gave Han Zhan a sweet smile and then quickened her pace towards Water Village.

”Why is she so ingratiating?” Watching this scene from the side, Feng Ya felt uneasy. The women of Water Village were too clever, it seemed they had even learned her own specialty?

How could she win against her then?

As Feng Ya thought of this, she lowered her head sorrowfully, but suddenly realized she couldn’t see her own feet, and instantly regained her confidence, feeling revitalized!

Meanwhile, on Huo Heng’s side.

Just barely escaping alive from the hands of those two women, he was surrounded again by some young men from Flame Village.

Leading them were the guys previously sent by Huo Lie to ”guide and educate” Huo Heng, who had finally been released from the small dark room by Huo Lie.

”You’re the punk who got us locked in the small dark room!”

”Haha, now it’s your turn, beaten into a pighead, huh?”

”You dare laugh at me? Let’s fight!” Huo Heng, still angry, figured these guys, having been locked up for days and looking weak, couldn’t possibly beat him.

Seemingly realizing this too, the young men quickly protected their vital parts while taunting, ”You dare hit us, and we’ll tell everyone how you peeked at the village chief’s daughter while she was bathing!”

”That’s right! You dare glance, we’ll dare report it to the village chief!”

Huo Heng’s fist froze in mid-air.

Dammit, bad luck!

Huo Heng lowered his fist, giving them a fierce glare before turning and leaving.

By the North Sea coast, Tu Housheng, who had been sitting like a stone statue, suddenly opened his eyes, looking honestly at Village Chief Huo Lie of Flame Village who was approaching.

”Village Chief Huo Lie, just by chance, I heard something today that I wanted to share with you. It’s a secret, of course, and as brothers, we should promise to keep it to ourselves.”

”This matter, it concerns... a little peeking issue...”

...

Shui Rou led the villagers of Water Village in underwater excavation work, which went very smoothly.

Possessing the Water Transformation Technique, they were naturally adept at underwater operations.

Surprisingly, the High Priest had actually contributed somewhat to this world.

In less than half a day, Shui Rou found the body of the North Sea Profound Turtle, but even in death, its body was so immense that they couldn’t haul it up by themselves.

Using storage-type treasure tools was also impossible due to its size!

After doing some simple positioning, Shui Rou had to lead the villagers away for now.

She also made a special trip back to the old site of Water Village to retrieve the remaining six Dragon-Binding Locks from that special deep pool space and gave them to Han Zhan.

The inscriptions on these six Dragon-Binding Locks were mostly worn away, unlike the three more complete ones in Han Zhan’s possession.

They had temporarily lost their spirituality and power.

It was uncertain whether they could be restored to their original state after returning home.

”Chain.” Looking at the chains in his hand, Han Zhan suddenly asked, ”These chains were originally used to seal the Evil Dragon, and given the enormous size of its body, could the chains’ length connect the North Sea Profound Turtle to the land?”

Han Zhan then asked Shui Rou to help him try it out.

And it worked, much to their luck!

Thus, on the shore, Han Zhan, the Mountain Giant, Flame Village people, and others each held tightly onto their end of the Dragon-Binding Lock, while underwater, Shui Rou and Water Village villagers used the chains to bind the entire shell of the North Sea Profound Turtle.

After a great deal of effort, they finally managed to haul the enormous turtle shell up.

From there, things simplified greatly.

The North Sea Profound Turtle’s shell was so immense that when turned over, it could serve as a small movable island, bearing everyone across the sea together.

Flame Village people served as the labor force, packaging and transporting all the necessary materials;

Fengbai Village people were in charge of making giant sails and summoning gales to provide power;

Villagers from Water Village worked at the shell’s edges to perform Sea Breaking, helping to confirm the direction of the distant land;

Only Tu Housheng from Earth Element Village was there, due to his large size he sat at the center of the shell, functioning like a ballast stone.

Everyone showed their talents and performed their duties.

Han Zhan was no exception.

He fiercely bit into a few energy bricks, activated the Void Devouring Origin, and then summoned the Fu Xi Zither to play the Ancient Resonance of the Setting Sun Array.

The recently defeated North Sea Profound Turtle’s battle spirit was summoned.

A Tier Eight Peak North Sea Profound Turtle took form as a massive golden shadow, submerging underwater.

It ”carried” the turtle shell on its back, then activated the North Sea Profound Turtle’s talent, breaking through the turbulent North Sea waters, heading swiftly towards the end of the North Sea!

The road ahead was unknown, but they rode the winds and waves, forging ahead without hesitation.
