Please, marry a white snake wife. It’s super cool.

When the water ghosts and water beasts wandering in the reservoir saw that my mother-in-law's son-in-law had crawled into the hole at the bottom, they all gathered at the hole, spitting bubbles, making all kinds of strange gestures, and saying some inhuman words.

After Lu Yuan entered the cave, there was no light at all and he couldn't see clearly.

Lu Yuan pinched out a ball of green flame with his right hand, which could not be extinguished when it came into contact with water. The light emitted by the flame illuminated the entire underwater cave.

Lu Yuan swam very slowly, fearing that he might accidentally bump into something dirty.

Two rays of light shot out from the bottom of the cave, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. Lu Yuan swam over, and the flame in his hand grew bigger and bigger.

A huge dragon head appeared in front of Lu Yuan. It was the same dragon he encountered on Elephant Island. It was lying on a very flat stone slab. The stone slab was smooth and had no moss at all.

The arrogant voice of Jiaolong came from Lu Yuan's mind: "Young man, what are you doing here?"

If the dragon had not known that Lu Yuan was Su Liyan's brother-in-law, it would have swallowed him long ago. It is likely that no human has come to this undercurrent for hundreds of years.

Nowadays, people's technology is not advanced enough. There are no diving suits, oxygen cylinders, searchlights, and there are wanderers everywhere in the reservoir. It is simply a daydream for humans to find this place.

If Lu Yuan had not learned from his wife that this was the habitat of dragons, Lu Yuan would not have been able to find it.

This dragon can imitate human speech, but in water it either uses the art of telepathy or ventriloquism.

Therefore, Lu Yuan could only use the sound transmission technique to reply: "Senior, I came here to look for something, to try my luck!"

"Opportunity? There are so many opportunities in the world. This is not the place for you, young man. Get out!"

The dragon was lying on the big stone slab, its beard floating up and down in the water. It just flicked its tail, and a stream of water pushed Lu Yuan out of the cave.

Obviously, the dragon did not give Lu Yuan any face. Lu Yuan could feel that what he wanted was right below, and he could see it if he swam downstream for a few dozen meters.

Lu Yuan quickly explained through voice transmission: "Senior, I came here to seek opportunities not for myself, but to save my daughter's life!"

The dragon raised its body, stretched out its front paws and scratched its head. After thinking for a long time, it put its face in front of Lu Yuan and asked in a voice transmission: "Is your daughter Su Liyan's daughter?"

"Oh my gosh! This dragon seems to be not very smart!" Lu Yuan thought so in his mind but did not express it directly.

Lu Yuan used the sound transmission method to tell the whole story. After hearing this, the dragon leaned down, curled up its tail, and moved back a few steps, saying in a sound transmission: "Go!"

Lu Yuan puffed his lips, holding a water-repellent pill in his mouth. He held a ball of green flame between his hands and bowed, then swam towards the deeper depths.

After swimming for about forty or fifty meters, the diving passage seemed to be blocked by the rock layer.

Lu Yuan stood there, wondering, "Strange, I can clearly feel the undercurrent, how could it be a layer of rock? Could it be behind the rock layer?"

"What should I do?" Lu Yuan was at a loss for a moment. It was too difficult to chisel stones in water.

Cannonballs, bombs, and explosive talismans cannot be used in water. Do we have to use hammers to dig them out manually?

After circling around for a minute or two, Lu Yuan decided to break it by force. He held the green flame in his left hand, and a big iron hammer appeared in his right hand.

The big iron hammer in his hand is the tool used for alchemy and forging on a daily basis. It is placed in the system space and can be taken out whenever you want to use it.

Lu Yuan hit the green flame above, held the big iron hammer with both hands, and with all his strength, he hit the rock in front of him with a "bang".

The dragon forty or fifty meters above secretly observed Lu Yuan's every move, and was delighted: "Good boy, you are so brave! Hammer, hammer into the smoke!"

Lu Yuan was bounced several meters in the water, his arms were numb from the shock, and there was not even a speck of rock left on the rocks in front of him.

"I must have been struck by evil today. The force of that hammer strike just now was at least ten thousand pounds, but there was no damage at all." Lu Yuan said to himself.

If one hammer doesn’t work, then try another!
Lu Yuan adjusted his posture, gathered strength and struck out with another heavy hammer, and the rock began to vibrate.

Lu Yuan spun three and a half times in the water, swung the sledgehammer in his hand, and silently chanted in his heart: "Eighty!"

With the third blow, the hammer in his hand broke into two pieces, and only then did he chisel off a piece of rock. This time the rock was vibrating more obviously.

Lu Yuan exclaimed: "Wow, this hammer was made by me by mixing different materials. Its strength is comparable to diamond. It's a tool I usually use for alchemy, but it was damaged after three blows. It even chipped off a piece of rock."

Lu Yuan put the two pieces of the hammer back into the system space, reached out to grab the fallen rock, held it in his hand and examined it in the light of the fire, "I want to see what kind of rock this is."

Lu Yuan rubbed his hands and felt that the rock in his hand was a bit sticky...it didn't look like stone.

The rock in front of Lu Yuan began to rotate. After a few minutes, an old turtle head grew out of the rock wall. It exhaled a breath of foul air and blew Lu Yuan away.

The green flame was also blown out by the turbid air, and the surrounding environment suddenly became dark. Lu Yuan could not see anything and could only move with the water.

The strong current pushed Lu Yuan out. Lu Yuan swirled in the water and accidentally swallowed the water-repellent pill in his mouth.

Lu Yuan took a breath subconsciously, and water rushed into his nostrils, choking him and almost causing him to roll his eyes.

Lu Yuan pinched his neck with his left hand, and with his right hand he produced a water-repellent pill and stuffed it into his mouth, only then did he recover.

Lu Yuan was pushed away by the current, but the dragon waved its tail to stop him. The dragon said, "Young man, you woke it up, and you are in trouble~"

After hearing this, Lu Yuan understood everything. This dragon knew everything but just didn't tell him. It was watching the show here!

The huge old turtle opened its mouth wide, took a sip of water, and sucked Lu Yuan to its front.

The old turtle opened his eyes, his eyelids were five centimeters thick, and he slowly said, "Who disturbed my hibernation? Damn it! Big bug, why don't you help keep an eye on me?"

The cold winter is the time when turtles hibernate.

The dragon poked his head out and said, "Brother, someone is looking for you urgently!"

The dragon has lived for thousands of years, but compared to this old turtle, it is just a child. There are no water ghosts or water beasts in this water that live longer than the old turtle.

"Oh? Who can come here to find me?" The old turtle rolled his eyes and stared at the young man Lu Yuan in front of him.

Lu Yuan pinched out a ball of green flame again, illuminating the surroundings.

The old turtle was also a little surprised that there were still people in the human race who could use such magic. He was only slightly shocked.

The old turtle has lived for so long, and although it always hides in the water, it has seen everything.

With the help of the firelight, it turned out to be this old turtle curled up here motionless. Lu Yuan never thought it was a turtle, but thought it was a rock. What Lu Yuan held in his hand was a piece of tortoise shell. Lu Yuan quickly put his hands behind his back, raised the corners of his mouth to show goodwill, but could not speak.

The old turtle naturally saw Lu Yuan's little tricks. When he was hibernating just now, he felt three "bang bang bang" sounds, especially the third one, which made his internal organs tremble. It turned out that this kid was the one who did it.

The old turtle was furious and scolded: "You stinky boy, how dare you expose my armor! I will eat you!"

After the old turtle finished speaking, it opened its mouth and began to swallow water without saying anything. Lu Yuan's body followed the water flow and unconsciously floated towards the old turtle's mouth.

The surface of the reservoir was affected by whirlpools, and many water ghosts and water beasts were crawling onto the shore. The water level was dropping rapidly.

Yunyun, who was on the reservoir dam, floated up and shouted, "Daddy, it's bad, it's bad, my brother-in-law is really in trouble underwater!"

Gong Yuejun crossed his legs and said disapprovingly, "Daughter, don't make such a fuss. Apart from the dragon, the other big fishes under the water are no match for the master. Don't panic!"

Yunyun held her father's hand and said anxiously, "Dad, hurry up and help your brother-in-law. There's not only Xiaodong down there, but also Xiaobei. Xiaobei is a big turtle. He must have been practicing for thousands of years."

Gong Yuejun stood up immediately and questioned with a look of disbelief: "What? What are you doing? A giant turtle that's thousands of years old? The master is really going to catch a turtle!"

"What should I do? Xiaobei and I haven't met many times. Xiaobei stays in underwater caves all year round and doesn't interact with other people." Yunyun's tone was a little anxious.

If anything happened to my brother-in-law, my mother-in-law would definitely give me a severe lesson.

Many big fish in the forest gathered at the bank of the reservoir, but seeing the situation, not a single one of them dared to go into the water to rescue Lu Yuan.

Even the tiger Xiaoxi was still in the form of a yellow-haired dog at this moment, lying on the shore and staring at the water, with no intention of diving to save Lu Yuan.

When the dragon in the cave saw this, he realized that the old turtle had never seen Lu Yuan and naturally didn't know who Lu Yuan was. He was really worried that the old turtle would eat Lu Yuan alive.

Just as the dragon was about to open his mouth to stop him, Lu Yuan had a set of golden soft armor in his hand. With the blessing of Lu Yuan's magic spell, the set of golden soft armor was getting bigger... The items given as rewards by the system always have functions that Lu Yuan didn't discover at first.

The golden soft armor can become bigger or smaller. It can fit a 200-pound fat kid, and a baby weighing more than 10 pounds can also wear it.

Ten sets of golden soft armor were given as a gift, and Lu Yuan gave five of them to Gu Gaoxu with a wave of his hand.

Lu Yuan nailed the golden soft armor into the stone wall along all sides, forming a blocking net to stop himself.

The water sucked by the old turtle passed through the blocking net and entered its stomach, while Lu Yuan used the blocking net to prevent himself from being swallowed.

Jiaolong wanted to persuade him, but he didn't expect Lu Yuan to have such a quick mind and powerful skills, so he didn't say much.

If anything did happen, Jiaolong felt it would not be too late for him to intervene.

Lu Yuan used the art of voice transmission to first apologize and comfort the old turtle, and then explained his purpose.

The old turtle sucked up a belly full of water, burped, and then excreted a large amount of urine that was excreted along with the undercurrent.

The water level of the reservoir began to rise gradually and the water surface gradually calmed down.

Yunyun, who was about to tell her mother-in-law about this change, felt her legs go limp and she fell to the ground, mumbling, "It's over, it's over. My brother-in-law is definitely gone. I'll either be a widow or remarry with the baby!"

Gong Yuejun, who was standing by, slapped his daughter on the head and said, "Daughter, don't talk nonsense. The master is a lucky man, nothing will happen to him! The master's wife won't be a widow either!"

Yunyun covered her head and responded, "What should we do now?"

Gong Yuejun said: "Look again!"

Seeing that the old turtle stopped absorbing water, Lu Yuan put away the golden soft armor and bowed to the old turtle.

It turns out that there is a real undercurrent behind the old turtle. The old turtle's urine will go with the undercurrent and will not pollute the cave at the bottom of the reservoir.

This cave is a good place.

The dragon was resting in a cave, while the old turtle was hibernating at the bottom of the cave.

The old turtle asked, "Since you are the son-in-law of my benefactor, we won't make things difficult for you. What are you doing here?"

Lu Yuan sent a voice message: "Senior, let's take the tortoise shell from your body!"

Lu Yuan's frankness made the old turtle a little uncomfortable. To his surprise, he had forgotten how long it had been since he dared to talk to it like that.

From the "Xiaodong and Xiaoxi" mentioned by Yunyun, Lu Yuan guessed the existence of "Xiaobei". He secretly calculated on the way here and found that there was indeed an old turtle lying under the reservoir.

The scales on the turtle's shell are one of the medicinal ingredients for refining the low-grade human-level elixir, the Elixir of Immortality. If the elixir of immortality can be successfully refined with the scales, it may be able to offset the cold poison in her daughter Ruyan's body.

The scales on the turtle's shell are also very particular. The higher the turtle's cultivation level, the greater the probability that its scales can be used to refine the elixir of immortality. Therefore, the turtle shells that have been there for several years have no other use except for making soup and eating meat.

This is also the reason why Lu Yuan did not tell his family and insisted on coming here.

The old turtle was a little annoyed, and the dragon began to speak up for Lu Yuan, saying, "Brother, don't be so stingy. It's just a shell. Peel some off and give it to this young man."

"He, he has already chiseled a piece of my body! Why don't you peel off some scales for him?" said the old turtle.

"I don't need it. If you need to, you can peel off my tendons." The dragon acted indifferent.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan widened his eyes and stared at the dragon, with the word "want" written all over his face!
The dragon shrank its neck and whispered to Lu Yuan, "Do you really want it? This is no joke. I don't have any tendons to give you!"

"Okay! You are generous! You are noble! You are amazing!" The old turtle became more and more excited as he spoke.

The dragon and the old turtle had a verbal battle...

After the dragon's well-intentioned persuasion, the old turtle finally agreed to give its scales to Lu Yuan.

The old turtle said to Lu Yuan, "Forget it, forget it. I'll just let the matter of peeling my scales go. How many more do you need, young man?"

Lu Yuan extended a finger with his left hand.

"Just one more piece?" asked the old turtle.

Lu Yuan clenched his right fist and extended it, adding another zero.

The old turtle was surprised at first, and then began to ask Lu Yuan, saying:
"Ten pieces? Who do you think I am? A country squire? If I peel them off my shell, it will weaken my defense. Can I use the ones I shed before?" (End of this chapter)
