## Chapter 131: Hunting the Hundred-Thousand-Year Coral Spirit Tortoise
Chen Xin released his Seven Kill Sword, taking Ning Fengzhi with him, while Ning Bei and the other two flew on their own, heading straight for the direction Da Ming had indicated.
Before long, all they could see was the boundless ocean, with no other scenery in sight.
Less than half an hour later, Da Ming called out to them.
"It's right below here. I'll go lure it out."
Ning Bei nodded to Da Ming, who then transformed into his true form and plunged into the sea, heading for the deep.
The four of them waited patiently on the surface of the water.
A few minutes later, Da Ming resurfaced and transformed back into human form.
"It's no good. No matter how I provoked that Spirit Turtle, it wouldn't come out of its shell. It just stayed curled up, not moving."
"Huh? What do we do?"
Gu Rong immediately looked at Ning Bei in dismay. Even though they were Super Douluo, there was no way they could fight a water-attribute Soul Beast in the deep sea!
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then looked at Da Ming.
"Mr. Da Ming, did you try attacking it?"
Da Ming clearly understood Ning Fengzhi's meaning and shook his head helplessly.
"Its defenses are extremely strong. Hidden inside its shell, even my Nirvana Divine Lightning can't do much to it. In fact, it would only make it more wary."
Hearing Da Ming's words, everyone exchanged glances. They finally understood how this creature had cultivated to the hundred-thousand-year level; it was truly the epitome of caution.
After contemplating a strategy in his mind, Ning Bei looked at Ning Fengzhi.
"Father, what does this Coral Spirit Tortoise usually eat?"
"As the name implies, the Coral Spirit Tortoise naturally feeds on plant-type Soul Beasts like Azure Sea Coral. Are you suggesting...?"
Ning Bei nodded. "Let's collect a large amount of Azure Sea Coral and throw it into the sea to see if we can lure it out."
"Hmm, that method might indeed work. Let's try it."
With that, everyone dispersed, beginning to collect the common Azure Sea Coral from the ocean.
Azure Sea Coral is to the ocean what Blue Silver Grass is to the Star Dou Great Forest.
In less than half a day, they had collected several tons of Azure Sea Coral and thrown it into the sea.
Next was the waiting game.
Perhaps Da Ming's harassment had made the Coral Spirit Tortoise wary, as they waited for an entire day without it showing its head.
Ning Fengzhi sighed slightly at the sight.
"Bei Er, let's just give up for now. We can rest for a while and then make other plans."
Ning Bei didn't answer but instead looked at Da Ming.
"Da Ming, can you take someone into the deep sea?"
"Taking someone down isn't a problem, but we can't launch an attack at the bottom of the sea, can we? Does Brother Ning Bei have any ideas?"
Da Ming thought Ning Bei wanted him to take Chen Xin and Gu Rong into the deep sea, so he quickly explained the implications.
Ning Bei chuckled and shook his head.
"Just take me down. I have another method I want to try. If it doesn't work, then we'll make other plans."
Ning Bei then nodded to Ning Fengzhi and the other two.
Understanding, Da Ming transformed into his true form, swallowed Ning Bei, and then plunged into the sea.
Ning Fengzhi and the other two exchanged glances on the surface of the sea, then both shook their heads, unable to fathom what other method Ning Bei could possibly have.
With Da Ming's help, Ning Bei successfully reached the seafloor, nearly ten thousand meters deep. After emerging from Da Ming's mouth, he quickly circulated his Soul Power to resist the seawater.
Through his Soul Power, he saw a Mystic Tortoise, nearly a hundred meters in size, curled up inside its shell, lying motionless on the seafloor.
Without further ado, Ning Bei summoned the Pill Tower and released Xiao Die.
As soon as Xiao Die appeared, she scanned her surroundings, startling her. She quickly huddled closer to Ning Bei in fear.
"Bei Gege, how did we end up in the water?"
It wasn't surprising she was timid; most insect-type Soul Beasts are afraid of water.
"Xiao Die, don't be afraid. Try using your Illusion ability on that big turtle."
Xiao Die looked at the giant shell in front of her and nodded to Ning Bei.
"What kind of Illusion should I create?"
"Just make a female Spirit Turtle, one that's in heat."
"Huh?"
Da Ming, listening to the conversation between the man and the beast, was instantly astounded. You came up with such a crazy idea?
Seeing this, Xiao Die no longer hesitated. Her colorful wings fluttered slightly, and a halo of light enveloped the Coral Spirit Tortoise.
After a moment, Xiao Die opened her eyes and shook her head at Ning Bei.
"It's no good, Bei Gege, there's no response from them."
Da Ming's expression fell when he heard Xiao Die's words. Still no good, huh?
Ning Bei wasn't discouraged and looked at Xiao Die again.
"Try creating a male hundred-thousand-year Spirit Turtle in the Illusion again."
"????"
Though confused, Xiao Die didn't question Ning Bei's order and once again activated the colorful glow from her wings.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
As time passed, even Ning Bei's face began to show disappointment.
Just as he was about to return to the surface, the Spirit Turtle in front of him finally stirred. Its limbs and head slowly emerged from its shell, and its blood-red eyes stared intently at the empty space in front of it.
In the Illusion, a male hundred-thousand-year Coral Spirit Tortoise had appeared there.
"Well, well, she's a big female turtle. Xiao Die, send the male turtle to the surface."
Xiao Die nodded, controlling the male turtle in the Illusion to swim towards the surface.
Seeing this, the Coral Spirit Tortoise followed the male's movements. She had never encountered a male Coral Spirit Tortoise that matched her size. She didn't know how she had endured every difficult mating season. Now that she had found a young, strong male of the same level, she couldn't suppress the agitation in her heart and quickly pursued him.
Ning Bei quickly led Xiao Die into Da Ming's mouth and headed for the surface.
After several minutes, Ning Fengzhi and the other two, who had been anxiously waiting on the surface, finally saw bubbles rising from the water, and their hearts immediately swelled with excitement.
"It's done! Get ready, Old Bonehead."
Gu Rong quickly nodded when he heard Chen Xin's words. His Bone Dragon Spirit attached, and his nine Spirit Rings appeared in sequence.
Then, he stared unblinkingly at the water's surface.
Finally, a minute later, a massive Spirit Turtle with red eyes roared and leaped out of the water, appearing in their sight.
"Wow, it's huge."
Da Ming followed closely behind, rising into the air.
Ning Bei quickly put the panting Xiao Die back into the Pill Tower. Using the Illusion on a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast was extremely draining for her.
The Coral Spirit Tortoise, released from the Illusion, saw her lifelong companion disappear and immediately let out an angry roar.
"Roar!"
However, immediately after, she sensed several terrifying auras surrounding her. One of them was the large water snake that had disturbed her earlier in the depths.
A human-like fear instantly appeared in the Coral Spirit Tortoise's massive eyes.
It quickly prepared to turn and dive back into the depths, momentarily forgetting where the handsome male had gone.
Ning Fengzhi and the others grew anxious at the sight. If she dove down, it would be over! Just as they were about to launch their attack, Ning Bei stopped them.
