Chapter 17: The Final Blow

  In the world of Shan Hai Jing, at the source of Li Miao water, Li Mang was still turning over rocks, but his movements were getting slower and slower. The skin around the wounds on his body had already been infected with dead energy and turned black.

  However, Li Mang still persisted. He turned over a number of strange creatures under the rocks, not turtles, which made him disappointed, but more motivated, at least there was something in the rock crevices.

  "Whoosh!"

  Another rock was turned over, just when Li Mang thought the situation was still the same, a snake head suddenly dived up at high speed, which scared him to loosen his hand and let go of the rock, with a "thud" sound it fell back to its original position, and he didn't know if it hit its own head.

  "...it seems not a snake, but a turtle, the same as last night's, black in color, with a long neck like a snake!" Li Mang got excited, but then saw the boulder that had been smashed into place and couldn't help but bitterly laugh. With such a large rock smashing down, and the water not being deep, could it still be alive?

  It didn't matter if it was broken, but it couldn't stay in the water for too long, or the blood effect would be greatly discounted. So Li Mang hurriedly and carefully moved the rock away.

  The water here is very clear, all rocky, without any pollution, after such a big disturbance, the water quality under the stone pit is still clear.

  A black turtle, about the size of two fists, was quietly lying in the water pool, not moving at all, and its head had already been withdrawn. What's even more amazing is that there wasn't a single crack on the turtle shell, which shows how solid it is.

  Li Mang put away the surprise in his heart, and hastily took out a wooden stick that he had prepared in advance from his pocket, carefully stretching it towards the entrance of the black turtle's head.

  "Crack!"

  The black turtle's head quickly escaped, the speed was so fast that it made people gasp in amazement. What made Li Mang feel even more horrified was that this thumb-thick wooden stick was actually bitten off by the black turtle, which was truly unbelievable!

  Just as the black turtle was about to make a run for it, Li Meng picked up the large boulder beside him and smashed it down heavily - "Clang!"

  It was almost like the sound of metal crashing, and the hardness of this black tortoise shell could be seen at a glance.

  "Hmm! Hmm......"

  The rock that was pressing down on the black turtle shook violently, and the slapping of the water's surface produced a series of splashing sounds. It was clear that the black turtle felt danger here, so it was struggling with all its might. It seemed that if given some time, it might actually be able to escape successfully.

  "The wooden stick is too fragile, I need to change one!" Li Mang hurriedly ran ashore and came to the burlap sack he had left nearby. After a search, he finally found a self-defense electric baton at the bottom.

  "This should be able to stun it, right?" Li Meng wasn't quite sure. The electric baton's output voltage was actually in the tens of millions of volts, but it wasn't ordinary AC or DC electricity - it was pulsed electricity, and its harm was relatively small; using it on a turtle was an unknown quantity.

  Li Mang returned to his original position and once again moved the rock away.

  "Hiss!" The black turtle angrily raised its head, warningly staring at Li Mǎng.

  This is a fake police electric baton, very long. Li Meng stepped on a rock that was above the water surface and held the button of the electric baton to slowly extend the electric head.

  "Hiss!" The black turtle was naturally furious, its neck stretching out a full 30 centimeters as it pounced forward, its large mouth with sharp teeth biting down hard on the electric baton. The tough industrial plastic was actually bitten into by its teeth, leaving behind rows of tooth marks, a terrifying sight.

  "Delicious!"

  A bolt of lightning shot out from the electric mouth and landed in the black turtle's oral cavity.

  "Whoosh!"

  The black turtle's neck suddenly retracted into the shell, motionless and still, even when Li Meng used a wooden stick to tap and test it, there was no response.

  "It's done!" Li Mang was overjoyed and hastily stretched out his hand to pick up the black turtle, fearing a change, and went straight ashore.

  As expected, the electric baton's power was strong, but due to the special nature of the pulsed electricity, it was not enough to kill the black turtle. It wasn't until Li Mang put the black turtle on the rock that it woke up and tried to escape, only to be intercepted by the ever-vigilant Li Mang.

  Killing a turtle requires skill; otherwise, once its head is retracted inside, it's not easy to kill it, let alone Li Meng needs its blood.

  Then Li Meng found a thicker wooden stick, put it in and let it bite, and the next moment, the vegetable knife on the other hand quickly swung out, with a "chop" sound, the black turtle's head fell off.

  Bright red blood flowed out from the beheaded turtle, Li Mang didn't dare to stop for a moment, he took two disposable cups and turned the black turtle's body upside down, allowing its blood to flow out quickly.

  The black turtle's body is not big, but its blood is extremely abundant, with about two cups of bright red turtle blood, looking very beautiful.

  "I wonder if this turtle blood can alleviate the injuries on my body?" Li Mang speculated, thinking that there might be a fight when he goes out later, and this injury would be unfavorable to him. He gritted his teeth and endured the fishy smell, drinking down one cup. Taking advantage of the momentum from drinking the turtle blood, he picked up another cup and left the Mountain and Sea Scripture world.

  Returning to the temple of Citrus Mountain from Shan Hai Jing, Li Mang saw the room that had been rummaged through by the female ghost, and the scattered red banknotes were particularly eye-catching. His gaze was stern, but he didn't feel any fear. He looked around quickly, but didn't see the ghost's shadow anywhere.

  "How strange, has she already left?" Li Mang thought to himself, and then carefully walked out of the main hall.

  The main hall was also a mess, and what made Li Mang's face turn white after drinking the turtle blood was that the corpse of the temple blessing in front had become unrecognizable. Not to mention that both arms were torn open, and there was a huge blood hole on the chest, it seemed that the heart had been dug out.

  "Ugh..."

  The fresh blood he had just swallowed into his stomach suddenly churned up to his throat.

  "Heh heh, you little stinker, we've been waiting for you for a long time!" The female ghost's cold laughter suddenly appeared in front of him, and Li Mang only felt a flash before his eyes, and the female ghost was already standing in front of him.

  Suddenly a rotten face appeared in front of him, causing Li Meng to hold back the turtle blood in his mouth, unable to bear it any longer. With a "pu" sound, he spat everything onto the female ghost's body.

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  As the red blood mist sprayed onto the female ghost, in an instant it was as if she had been splashed with sulfuric acid, corroding and emitting a puff of smoke. The face that originally only had one-third rotten flesh suddenly became completely disfigured.

  Enduring the physical discomfort, Li Meng gritted his teeth and splashed all the turtle blood in his hand - "Hiss!!!"

  "Ah! Ah!......"

  A miserable scream came out of the female ghost's mouth, at this moment she was no longer majestic, her soul body was corroded by turtle blood into waves of smoke.

  Li Mang's face turned pale, and he kept retreating, whether it was the dead temple fairies or the female ghosts who were suffering from terrible torture, all of which exceeded his tolerance, making him terrified.

  The female ghost let out a miserable cry, and finally turned into a pool of black water. The stench of rotting corpses made Li Meng vomit again, and he even spat up bile.

  At this time, the outside had already transmitted a burst of noise, Li Meng knew it was Zhang Daoshi and others. At this point, he could only endure his physical discomfort again, re-enter the Shan Hai Jing world to take out all the bodies of the black turtle, and forcefully hit the floor in the room to create a scene of killing the black turtle, including a disposable cup, nothing was left behind.

  After doing all this, Li Meng finally let out a sigh of relief and then felt dizzy, falling to the ground in front of the door, unconscious.

  In an instant, Zhang Daoshi led a team of soldiers into the Mountain God Temple. The situation inside made the soldiers who were initially skeptical raise their hair and tacitly aim their guns in all directions.

  The first thing that caught their eye was the temple's dead body, with a completely disfigured face, torn arms, and a dug-out heart... it was terrifying!

  Even Zhang Daoshi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene, and then he looked at the black "polluted water" under his feet, his face stiffened. The soldiers didn't know what this black water was, but Zhang Daoshi, who was familiar with it, could see at a glance that it was clearly corpse water.

  "There's another body here!" a soldier exclaimed from beside him.

  Zhang Daoshi heard the sound and his heart was pounding, he hastily pushed away the soldiers beside him, and saw Li Meng lying motionless on the ground in front of the door frame, his skin had turned black, and a ghostly aura had spread all over his body, this was a sign that he was already dead.

  "Li Meng, I'm sorry to you!" Zhang Daoshi suddenly knelt heavily on the ground, with a handful of snot and a handful of tears, how desolate.

  "Li Meng! Li Meng......" Panting and out of breath, Bao Ren finally arrived, seeing the scene before him was like being struck by five thunderbolts, kneeling beside Zhang Daoshi with red-rimmed eyes.

  "Hey... the two commanders, he's not dead yet!" a new recruit, Egg, whispered.

  "Li Meng, you died so miserably... What did you say? He's not dead?" Zhang Daoshi woke up with a start and hastily went forward to check. Li Meng was still breathing, far from death! At once, he ordered the soldiers to lift Li Meng up and, while rushing him away in the carriage, began to perform an initial purification of the death energy on his body.
