Chapter 2234 - 2234 Totem of a Cross on the s.h.i.+eld
2234 Totem of a Cross on the s.h.i.+eld
Rising Lizard had reached Lin Yuan at that point.
The Marsh Ground Sphagna covered the entirety of Lin Yuan’s territory and controlled the water content of the ground. Because of this, even a large creature like Rising Lizard running on the ground would not cause it to sink into the mud.
When Rising Lizard came up to Lin Yuan, it lowered its head and spat out the four-meter-wide Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle in front of Lin Yuan.
At that moment, the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle’s head, tail, and four limbs had all retracted into its sh.e.l.l.
Out of terror, the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle still dared not extend any of its retracted body parts when it was placed on the ground.
!!
Its fright was completely understandable, given that it was a recently born dimensional lifeform that had been picked up and carried around in the mouth of the enormous Rising Lizard.
After Rising Lizard stopped, Wendy settled into Lin Yuan’s arms while White Pavilion wrapped its large tail around Lin Yuan’s leg.
With admiration, Wendy looked at Lin Yuan and said demurely, “Dad, haven’t you been wanting a turtle that can grow into a large fellow? I think this fellow has a lot of potential and will be easy to sustain.
“White Pavilion, Rising Lizard, and I discovered it together! We didn’t make any decisions on our own. This fellow’s bloodline is very special! If you don’t want it, one of the three of us will turn it into a Favored Believer.”
While it spoke, Wendy looked at Rising Lizard.
Because of its natural skill, the carnivorous plants it accepted as its Favored Believers would all benefit. On the other hand, White Pavilion was more suited to accepting the Marsh Crocodiles as its Favored Believers. Only Rising Lizard did not have a specific type of dimensional lifeform it could benefit from.
Besides contracting the Medusa Snake Demons, Rising Lizard could also form a contract with the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle.
Normally, Apostles competed with each other.
Although Lin Yuan had turned Wendy, Rising Lizard, and White Pavilion into Apostles, there was no compet.i.tion between them at all. Instead, their relations.h.i.+p was more of a partners.h.i.+p.
Lin Yuan hurriedly shook his head when he heard what Wendy said.
Rather than the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle becoming one of the Apostles’ Favored Believers, Lin Yuan would prefer to nurture it into another Apostle.
A dimensional lifeform could improve much more by becoming an Apostle than the Favored Believer of an Apostle.
Furthermore, the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle was only a Cla.s.s 1 dimensional lifeform. It would only cost Lin Yuan 100 units of source-type power to nurture it into an Apostle.
Although the description of the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle in True Data met Lin Yuan’s expectations, it still needed to be practically tested.
Lin Yuan gently pointed at the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle, and an intense amber light lit up on the tip of his finger.
In the midst of its obliviously comfortable state, its body started to grow, and cracks rippled all over its sh.e.l.l.
Before the cracked sh.e.l.l pieces fell off, the new sh.e.l.l grew out and shattered the original pieces.
This process was repeated almost 100 times in the span of half an hour.
During this time, the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle grew from its original four meters to almost 70 meters.
The thickness of its sh.e.l.l moved from 20 to 30 centimeters to almost two meters. This was much thicker than the sh.e.l.ls of other turtle-species feys of the same size.
Besides the thickness of the sh.e.l.l, Lin Yuan was more excited about the fact that the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle’s four limbs had grown to the size of enormous tree trunks. It would take about six people stretching out their arms to wrap fully around one of its legs.
The bottom of its legs did not have the usual feet that turtles had but fleshy webbed pads that contained bones that were even thicker than those of a human’s body. The pad spanned over ten square meters.
Its wide webbed feet and short tail would allow it to move very quickly in water.
Lin Yuan’s biggest hope for the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle was that its sh.e.l.l and body would become sufficiently strong.
The Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle had perfectly accomplished this.
A s.h.i.+eld-shaped totem appeared below its jaw. There was a cross emblazoned on it.
After this totem appeared, Lin Yuan knew that the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle had fully transformed into an Apostle.
Wendy gasped in Lin Yuan’s arms.
Wendy and Rising Lizard were already used to Lin Yuan transforming other dimensional lifeforms into Apostles because they had both personally witnessed him doing so.
White Pavilion, the last Apostle that Lin Yuan had transformed, was the only one who was curious about what happened.
But curiosity was all it felt. It did not find it hard to believe at all.
Wendy, Rising Lizard, and White Pavilion all saw Lin Yuan as a Dictator.
Wendy had gasped because it was shocked by the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle’s size.
From its size, it was so obvious that it had grown from a Cla.s.s 1 dimensional lifeform to an Apostle!
After hearing Wendy gasp, Lin Yuan nodded in disbelief. The Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle had also grown beyond his expectations.
Lin Yuan excitedly checked on the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle again.
[Alien Beast Name]: Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle
[Lifeform State]: Apostle
[Alien Beast Cla.s.s]: Cla.s.s 1
[Power of Faith]: Extremely weak
[Apostle Totem]: Cross s.h.i.+eld Totem
Natural Skill:
[Mutated Sh.e.l.l]: Every time the effects of a special earth element are absorbed, the sh.e.l.l will take control of the effects and absorb them to expand the size of the sh.e.l.l. This will make the body stronger. Each time it receives offerings from believers, it can choose to expand its body or strengthen itself.
[Expansion Division]: Once the body expands to a certain extent, it can choose to differentiate one or multiple external bodies. The body can only grow as a result of the main body’s strengthening. It cannot be improved on its own. The differentiated bodies will possess equal strength and defensive abilities as the main body.
Faith Ability:
[Believer Change]: A portion of the energy in the totem is injected into a believer to change its life att.i.tude from dimensional lifeform to Favored Believer.
After seeing how the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle’s natural skill Mutated Sh.e.l.l changed and its new natural skill, Lin Yuan took a deep breath.
He knew that the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle, which he had come to possess by chance, was going to help him establish his strategic plans for the marsh world.
From now on, Lin Yuan was not going to be restricted by geography in the marsh world and could fly as freely as a bird.
