Chapter 544 - 210: Provoking a Three-Way Battle, to the Wettest Center

WHOOSH.

Using the Detection Tower, he watched the scene of NPCs and Super Bosses devouring each other within range for a while. Shen Fei’s gaze then shifted to the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean’s special region.

Upon entering this most unique and largest region once more, he finally decided to strike right at the heart of the enemy this time. He would head directly to the very center of the Pacific Ocean to see the so-called front line where the three powers—the Sea Race, NPCs, and Super Bosses—were locked in a standoff.

Now that all the previous game versions he knew of, including Version 4.7, had been fully integrated, Shen Fei’s desire to learn the ultimate goal of these Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses inherited from the game grew even stronger. From his previous experience destroying a special region, he knew he wouldn’t get the answers he sought by slaughtering and interrogating more NPCs. Even if the NPCs and Super Bosses were willing to talk, the relevant rules would prevent him from hearing the specific information.

Therefore, to find out the ultimate answer, Shen Fei had to think of another way. In the end, he decided to seek out the Sea Race, whose origins were even more mysterious than the NPCs and Super Bosses inherited from the game. If necessary, he even considered directly instigating a war among the three factions. Of course, there was another important reason: the Sea Race possessed the most unique item—the Red Heart A.

"Let’s roll!"

While reviewing his goals and plans, Shen Fei effortlessly controlled the Black Tortoise, accelerating its movement.

***

Hm? I wasn’t looking for you, but you came looking for me?

Half an hour later, while sitting on the Black Tortoise’s back and speeding along, Shen Fei was suddenly taken aback. He saw that his path was blocked. Hundreds of turtle-type Super Bosses, all of them registering as Giant-level in Combat Power, had formed a formation on his path, blocking the way for him and the Black Tortoise.

What’s this? You’re not busy devouring your own kind, and now you’ve got ideas about me?

Its path blocked, the Black Tortoise, which had been cruising along smoothly, slowed down with a sense of puzzlement. Looking at the group of turtle Super Bosses ahead who were staring greedily at him and the Black Tortoise, Shen Fei was a bit dumbfounded.

At this point, he was already over a million kilometers away from the western Pacific. He was certain this group of turtle Super Bosses had no idea how powerful he was. Moreover, he was currently inside the defensive shield automatically projected by the Black Tortoise, so it was impossible for them to know his identity as a human player. Shen Fei was confused as to why his path was blocked.

After a few seconds of bewilderment, Shen Fei suddenly heard shouts from the other side.

"Leave your pet turtle behind!"

"That turtle of yours!"

"We’ll be taking it!"

Under Shen Fei’s gaze, the turtle Super Bosses stated their objective.

Among the hundreds of turtle Super Bosses blocking Shen Fei’s path, there was one named the Treasure-Seeking Turtle. It was because of this creature’s ability to find treasure that a large group of Giant-level turtle Super Bosses had gathered around it. This time, it happened to be leading its group across the ocean, searching for various treasures that had appeared with the fifth inheritance of game abilities. The Treasure-Seeking Turtle never expected to sense a rapidly moving, turtle-like creature with an exceptionally unique bloodline. It felt that if it could just devour this creature, it would be able to level up by hundreds of levels. And so, in its frantic haste, it had led its team to intercept them.

Then, upon seeing the Black Tortoise at Shen Fei’s feet—which had retracted its power and looked as docile as a baby—the Treasure-Seeking Turtle couldn’t help but shout out, its whole body trembling with excitement.

They want to steal my turtle? And what if I don’t agree?

He hadn’t expected to be blocked because someone wanted to steal his turtle. Shen Fei couldn’t help but laugh. At that moment, even though hundreds of Giant-level Super Bosses were blocking his way, Shen Fei wasn’t the least bit flustered.

If I just summon my Defense Tower, these hundred or so turtles will all be small fry...

"You don’t agree!?" the Treasure-Seeking Turtle roared furiously, its body trembling with excitement. "Then you can go die! I’m only giving you three seconds to think about it!"

"Oh?" Shen Fei replied. "Then bring it on!"

Hearing them shout that he only had three seconds, Shen Fei was just about to summon his Defense Tower to clear the path. Suddenly, he saw the Black Tortoise at his feet turn its head and blink its small, dark eyes at him.

Understanding the Black Tortoise’s meaning, Shen Fei didn’t refuse. He had already witnessed the Black Tortoise’s speed from its Water Manipulation. Now, it would be a good time to see its Combat Power—or rather, its Defense Power.

With me here to back it up, nothing will go wrong anyway.

"Holy shit!!!"

But two seconds later, looking at the scene before him, Shen Fei suddenly let out a cry of shock.
