The insects in my house are dragons.

No, Yun Che is fine. How did Dr. Niu manage to find the hometown of the Huaijiang Turtle Clan?

He had previously asked Dr. Niu and Lan Xiangya, and at the time, the two of them were unaware of the existence of the turtle clan in the Huai River. They only knew that there were at least three overlord-level extraordinary creatures in the Huai River.

Back at Shuilianglong, Yun Che voiced his doubts.

Dr. Niu provided an answer to his question:

"Originally, that place would have been impossible to find."

"But do you remember this summer, when it didn't rain for a long period of time? Wasn't it an unusually dry season?"

"Of course I remember." Yun Che remembered that he was working at the Blue River breeding base at that time, and he was responsible for raising axolotls. However, because the weather was too dry, he had to water them several times a day.

Even the water level of the Lanjiang River, a tributary of the Huaijiang River, dropped significantly at that time.

Water level line....

Dr. Niu continued, "I found that place when I was using a drone to find a suitable research site."

"But later, when the rains stopped, that place was gradually covered up again."

It turned out to be the case.

"So, that's the territory of the turtle tribe?"

Although Yun Che hasn't said anything yet, Dr. Niu and Ji Huaijin could easily see the reasons behind it.

Yun Che smiled helplessly, "Yes."

This is truly a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King Temple.

"this..."

Suddenly, both Dr. Niu and Ji Huaijin were in a dilemma.

It was obvious that the turtle clan had a close relationship with Yun Che, so it wouldn't be good to force our way in.

Moreover, Dr. Niu is researching the relationship between extraordinary creatures and ecology, and fighting is never what he wants to see. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so eager to bring Yun Che into the research group after seeing his "Beast Tamer Talent".

The purpose was to use Yun Che's "Beast Tamer talent" to get along with wild extraordinary creatures, and he could also take the opportunity to observe and study them.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Che said, "I'll try to see if we can go in and take a look, to 'visit'."

Before trying it, he couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, is that place... really that important?"

If it's not absolutely necessary to go...

"Very important!" Dr. Niu nodded seriously.

He explained, "If it weren't for a coincidence, I wouldn't have discovered it either. It was almost completely isolated from the outside world before, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Che understood what he meant and replied, "So the ecological protection is very good, and it is very different from most of our current ecological environment."

It is highly likely that the ecology from hundreds or even thousands of years ago has been preserved.

This is the key point of Dr. Niu's research!

This is also a key point for Yun Che to complete his mission.

"right."

But I'm still a little troubled.

Yun Che rubbed his temples. "I'll give it a try."

As she spoke, she returned to Xiao Jiu's turtle back.

"I feel like a mouthpiece..." he thought to himself, but still managed a smile as he approached Elder Turtle and said:

"Elder, I've already spoken to my teachers and friends. When they learned it was 'our family,' they were all very surprised and said they had misunderstood. This is a case of the flood washing away the Turtle King Temple's secrets, so please don't take it to heart."

As the saying goes, you can't hit someone who's smiling.

What's more, Yun Che speaks so pleasantly.

Elder Turtle nodded in satisfaction, muttering to himself, "The flood washed away the Turtle King Temple..."

He repeated it several times, and Elder Turtle's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Why didn't this elder think of building a "Turtle King Temple" for our king?

When the time comes, as the king's right-hand man, wouldn't I be able to have a statue erected in the temple, go down in history, and be worshipped by future generations of tortoises?

"Great news, great news..." Elder Turtle couldn't help but jump for joy.

Yun Che: "?"

Although he didn't know what Elder Turtle was so happy about, seeing that he was in such a good mood, Yun Che quickly said:

"Yes, I told them that 'our home' is incredibly wonderful, a paradise on earth, a secluded haven, a fairyland. How could they possibly set foot there so casually?"

"Oh dear, it's not that good, it's not that exaggerated, hahaha—" Elder Turtle's old face was as big as a chrysanthemum as he waved his hands repeatedly.

"However, elders, they doubt whether 'our family' is as good as I say, so..."

After a pause, Yun Che tentatively asked, "Should we take them to broaden their horizons?"

"Okay, I'll broaden my horizons, okay... Hmm? Wait, what does that mean?" Elder Turtle subconsciously agreed, but then realized something was wrong and understood.

But Yun Che didn't give him a chance to react, immediately turning around and shouting, "Our elders have agreed, did you hear me? Let you go and see for yourselves, broaden your horizons!!"

After saying that, he turned around and said, "Right, elders? Let them broaden their horizons!"

In an instant, Elder Turtle was caught off guard.

But what kind of turtle is Elder Turtle?

A shameless scoundrel.

He immediately retorted, his neck stiff with arrogance, "This elder never said that! Don't spread rumors!"

Yun Che: "..."

"That cunning old tortoise..." I couldn't help but curse inwardly.

They're not falling for it at all.

"Elder, I've already said what I needed to say..."

"It wasn't me who said it, anyway, I didn't say it." Elder Turtle was a master of the art of "denying everything," but then, with a quick glint in its eye, it added, "However..."

"But what?"

"However, our king has mentioned you more than once or twice. You can go and see our king."

Yun Che's eyes darted around. "Then I'll take two people in to take a look. We won't do anything, just look around, okay?"

"No, no, no, it's dangerous to be a Beast Tamer, you absolutely can't go in." Elder Turtle shook his head repeatedly.

Your king is in danger too!

A supreme, overlord-level extraordinary creature.

Yun Che thought to himself, but said aloud, "What about the other person? He's my teacher, and also one of our own. He's just a researcher and doesn't have much fighting ability."

"A researcher..."

Elder Turtle looked hesitant, rubbing his hands back and forth.

This wasn't the first time they'd dealt with each other, and seeing its expression, Yun Che guessed what it was thinking. He immediately said, "I wonder if there's anything I can do to help?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Turtle chuckled, revealing an expression that said, "This child is teachable." "Actually, it's nothing much, but I think what you said earlier was quite good: 'The flood washed away the Turtle King Temple...'"

Old tortoise!

Yun Che cursed inwardly once again.

Others might not understand what he was saying, but he understood it all too well.

The old turtle actually wanted him to help build a "Turtle King Temple"!

He wanted to slap himself for changing the words.

But then I thought...

Yun Che said earnestly, "Elder, building a 'Turtle King Temple' isn't cheap. How much are you willing to contribute? How about this, whatever you contribute, I'll contribute!"

As soon as he said it, Elder Turtle quickly covered his turtle shell and took a few steps back warily.

Need money?

I have no money, but you can take my life!

Immediately, Yun Che lowered his voice and said, "But Elder, have you seen that handsome guy who looks about the same as me? His family is incredibly wealthy, and they own the largest construction group in the Huaijiang area. He's the young master, you... you know what I mean?"

"Oh?" Elder Turtle's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward, lowering his voice as he asked, "Are you really that rich?"

"It's not just about having money; to him, money is just a string of numbers. As long as it makes him happy, you can build not just one 'Turtle King Temple,' but ten, a hundred! You could even build a 'Turtle Elder Temple'!"

Turtle Elder Temple!

Upon hearing this, Elder Turtle's heart skipped a beat.

This elder can have a temple too?

Once the thought came to mind, I couldn't suppress it.

"Elder, I am wholeheartedly devoted to our Turtle Clan, to the King, and to you!" Yun Che immediately declared his "loyalty."

Elder Turtle paced back and forth on Little Nine's back, hesitating and deliberating.

After a long while, it finally made up its mind and immediately said:

"Alright! You come with me to see our King. Your teacher can wander around 'our house,' but that ugly, rich man, that beast tamer, he can only look around from the outside, he's not allowed to go in!"

In Elder Turtle's opinion, all humans are ugly. Whether it's Yun Che or Ji Huaijin, how can they be as handsome as Elder Turtle and the Great King?

Yun Che understood that this was already the biggest concession Elder Turtle had made.

After hesitating for a moment, he agreed, "Okay!"

As for building the "Turtle King Temple"...

Anyway, Dr. Niu has plenty of funding, so let him figure it out when the time comes.

If Ji Huaijin is really pleased, he might actually build some kind of "Turtle King Temple." Given the efficiency of his construction team, it would probably be completed in three or four days at most.

The man and the tortoise, two scheming individuals, exchanged a knowing smile.

Yun Che: Old turtle!

Elder Turtle: You little rascal!

Yun Che made a gesture towards Dr. Niu and Ji Huaijin.

It's settled!
