Chapter 145: Thousand-Year-Old Turtle
Haichao ran to the beach, turned back and waved his hands, saying, "No, no, I will ask the people in the tribe to start picking the pearls and try to send them to you as soon as possible."
"Once you have finished eating the sea pearls, follow us back to the tribe!"
After saying that, he jumped into the sea with Baldy and two other friends, splashing water.
Haichao and his companions swam hard in the sea and rushed all the way back to the tribe.
They went straight to the shell house of the tribe leader Haiyun. As the sea tide reached the door, it slammed against the shells so loudly that it seemed to crack the shell house.
After a while, the tribe leader Haiyun came out of the shell house cursing.
When he saw that it was Haichao and the others, the flames of anger in his heart surged even faster.
"What are you guys doing? Didn't I tell you to go find the fire fruit? You've only been out for a few days, and you're already running back in disgrace?"
"Where's the fire fruit? Did you find it? Huh?"
Haichao proudly held up the fire fruit that Yi Feng had given him to Haiyun, with a hint of boasting on his face:
"Look, what is this? Fire fruit! I found it!"
Haiyun was stunned by the sudden good news, then quickly took the fruit from Haichao's hand and looked at it carefully.
Sure enough, the surface of this fiery red fruit emitted a slight heat, which was very similar to the description of the legendary fire fruit.
He was delighted, but he was not sure: "This... This is probably the Fire Fruit! Let's go ask the old turtle. He has lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years, so he must have seen the Fire Fruit!"
As he spoke, Haiyun pulled Haichao and swam towards the old turtle's nest impatiently.
Along the way, Haiyun carefully learned the origin of the fire fruit.
He felt inexplicably emotional.
It's really a blessing for a fool to be able to find the fire fruit just like that.
When Yi Feng and the others come to the Hai Tribe, we must treat them well and make sure they like the Shanghai Tribe!
Haiyun suddenly thought of something, turned around and said to the bald men, "Go blow the conch shells and get all the orcs in the tribe to go find the sea pearls!"
The sea pearls alone would definitely not be enough. He would ask the thousand-year-old single turtle if he had any good things.
The sea clouds and the sea tide dived into the deep and mysterious underwater canyon, and finally stopped on a particularly spacious flat ground. It was dark all around, with only the sounds of their breathing and heartbeats echoing.
Haiyun turned into a majestic super lobster, raised his huge claws that were like two sledgehammers, and smashed them to the ground with a bang.
Haichao also turned into a giant crab like Haiyun, and started to make "bang bang bang" sounds together. The ground was shaking because of their smashing.
After a while, the place seemed to be awakened by their "drumbeats" and began to sway, and it swayed more and more violently.
Immediately afterwards, a huge turtle head slowly poked out from the soil. It turned out that the so-called flat ground was just the back shell of a giant turtle.
The turtle spoke in human language: "Hey, scratch that place in front of me again. Haha, my old back hasn't felt so comfortable in a long time."
"Xiao Xia, how long has it been since you last came to see me? Why did you suddenly think of me today?"
Haiyun saw the old turtle wake up, and quickly changed into human form, spit out the red fruit from his mouth, and held it in front of the old turtle. "Look, is this the fire fruit? The females in the tribe have caught a cold and need red fruit, but we haven't seen any."
The old turtle squinted his eyes, looked at it carefully, and said slowly: "Oh, isn't this the fire fruit!"
"I say, you young orcs, you need to get out more and see more. You don't even know the fire fruit, and you spend the whole day in the sea. Your life must be so boring... There is no challenge at all... blah blah..."
Haiyun saw that the turtle had its old problem again and wondered if all the older beastmen liked to talk too much.
He interrupted quickly: "Stop, stop, stop, I have something more important to ask you!"
"Do you know what other treasures we have in our sea? We want to exchange 67 fire fruits with a female. There are only fish and shrimps in our sea, so we can't afford them!"
The old turtle's big head swayed left and right, as if he was doing stretching exercises, and he kept muttering, "Oh my, I slept for so long, my neck is stiff, and my back is itchy!"
Haiyun took a deep breath. Being the clan leader, he had to run around every day and worry about everyone, young and old. It was really enough!
If he were to say, the clan leader should be the old turtle. As a single turtle for thousands of years, if he were to sit on the clan leader's post, he would probably be able to keep doing it until the end of time!
He sighed helplessly, and with a forced smile, he said to the old turtle, "Alright, alright, please stop making trouble. I will arrange for the orcs in the tribe to take turns to tickle you. Is that ok?"
The old turtle sighed: "I haven't eaten for a long time..."
Before he could finish his words, Haiyun interrupted him: "Forget it, I don't want to be the clan leader anymore anyway, let's choose another one!"
Seeing this, the old turtle quickly bumped Haiyun with his big head and said with a smile: "Hey, kid, why are you in such a hurry? I was just about to say it."
As it spoke, it stopped joking and became serious: "Let me tell you, there are many treasures hidden in this strait, waiting for you to explore!"
When Haiyun heard that there was a chance, his eyes lit up immediately and he asked, "Really? Tell me quickly, what treasures are there? Don't be so mysterious!"
"Hehehe..." The old turtle retracted its head into its thick shell, leaving only a loud voice echoing in the air:
"How can an old turtle like me know so clearly? I haven't moved out of my nest for many years."
"No more talking. I'm very sleepy. I have to go back to sleep."
"Remember, find someone to help me clean the shell. My back is itchy."
Haiyun was so angry when he saw the old turtle's behavior.
They are both single, so why is he so busy while Lao Gui can just sleep doing nothing every day!
This world is so unfair!
However, no matter how angry he was, he still had to do his job. Haiyun quickly calmed down and turned to Haichao and shouted, "Let's go! What are you still standing there for?"
The two swam all the way back to the tribe, and from a distance they could hear a group of orcs in the tribe chattering non-stop.
"Really? Is the food cooked by that female really that delicious?" an orc said with a longing look on his face.
"Really? Then I have to go and try it! How about I go to the shore with you later and dry my shells. It feels like I haven't been in the sun for a long time." Another orc said excitedly.
"Hey, I'll go too. I just want to go to the shore and breathe some fresh air. I've been in the sea for so long that I'm going to get moldy."
"I am coming too!"
