Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Three-headed Spike Golden Tortoise was frantically inhaling, generating a vortex beneath its heads that drew Li Yi and Qian’er in spiral motions.

Damage was inflicted on the duo for about 10 seconds until the Three-headed Spike Golden Tortoise closed its mouths for a change of breath, reducing the speed of the spiraling vortex.
“Flas.h.!.+”
Li Yi shouted, signaling for Qian’er’s body to flicker and escape thirty meters away instantly.
Shaking his head, Li Yi turned into a Ghost Crab, swiftly running sideways. He was so quick that by the time the Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise opened its mouths again, he stood right beside Qian’er.
“Fzz! Fzz! Fzz!”
The Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise swayed its heads, tearing the vortex apart and stirring the currents to surge fiercely.
If Li Yi and Qian’er had not escaped, they would have been sinking corpses by now.
With a golden Hunt Target hurled, Li Yi drew a Powered-up Arrow, charging up its strength for some time before firing it.

After unleas.h.i.+ng a powerful skill, the Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise had to lay flat on the bottom of the lake to catch its breath, leaving Li Yi the opportunity to fire Powered-up Arrows repeatedly and kill it before it could recover.
[Congratulations! You’ve successfully killed the Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise, a Rare World Elite and obtained +3 Skill Points.]
Li Yi and Qian’er both received the System Notification at the same time and obtained +3 Skill Points as a reward.
“This Elite’s great, who knew we could obtain Skill Points.” Qian’er gasped in admiration.
Li Yi chuckled. “Why don’t you go ahead and loot it, there might be a divine weapon?”
“A divine weapon?” Qian’er’s eyes lit up but soon realized Li Yi was teasing her. She stared at Li Yi.
Golden-named World Elites may be rare, but it was impossible for them to drop divine weapons. If this sort of Elite could drop divine weapons, wouldn’t that make divine weapons common in King of Pantheon?
“Alright, watch me steal the divine weapon.”
Qian’er swam towards the Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise’s course and extended her arm to loot it.
Ding!
[You’ve found 3 Mysterious Eggs from the Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise.]
“Huh?” Li Yi was stunned.
He never expected that the Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise dropped pet eggs instead of equipment…
“Qian Qian, give the eggs to your brother.” Li Yi swam over.
“No way, I’m keeping them, you hear me?”
The 3 Mysterious Eggs disappeared from the palm of Qian’er’s hands.
“Where did you hide them? You must have hidden them here!”
Li Yi stretched his arms out to grab Qian’er’s mammary glands.
It was Qian’er’s reflexively catapulted the eggs at Li Yi.
“Take them, take them!”
With the 3 Mysterious Eggs in his possession, it was a pleasant surprise for Li Yi.
Ever since he failed to hatch the previous batch, he would search Auction Houses during his free time for the chance to purchase Mysterious Eggs. It was a shame that despite his years of visit, he had never come across one. The eggs were so rare that even with money, there was no guarantee they would be in stock.
“Great elasticity, I’m honored.”
Profusely praising, Li Yi stared at Qian’er while fondling the eggs.
“Creek creek creek creek…” Qian’er was heard gritting her teeth.
Li Yi lowered his head to look at the Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise’s corpse. “Do you know how to skin?”
Qian’er shook her head.
The Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise was too huge and heavy, making moving it a difficult task. Qian’er’s treasure map coordinates were beneath its corpse but how could they dig up the treasure without s.h.i.+fting the corpse?
Qian’er dove down to give it a go but helplessly shook her head in the end. “Don’t you have any other ways?”
“I do. I can make a few Water-resistant Powerful Dynamites with Engineering. Boom! Then the world is at peace again…”
“What are you waiting for? Use it!”
“What if after the boom, the treasure underneath was blown up as well?”
“Er…” Qian’er did not know what to say.
“There is one more way…”
“?”
Li Yi turned to his friends list and selected Autumn Love.
“Brother, are you looking for me? You really are looking for me?” Black Autumn was quick to reply. Her trembling voice reflected her excitement.
“Are you free? Come to the North Pole.”
“I’m in the North Pole… Cough, I have nothing to do after my daily Holy Light Prayer. Since I have nothing to do, I came to the North Pole to fight some monsters…”
“Come over here, the coordinates are…”
After contacting Autumn Love, Li Yi knew the matter had been resolved.
Li Yi and Qian’er did not know how to skin and if they did not ask for aid, they would have to wait until the corpse disappeared. However, that would take at least ten hours, and waiting for the time to pa.s.s was a waste of time.
Women usually had sharp intuition, even the lesbian Qian’er. When Li Yi ended the conversation, she sensed something was up and snickered. “Who were you talking to? Your lover?”
Li Yi forcefully nodded. “Uh huh.”
Li Yi had been keeping Autumn Love at a distance. At Qian’er’s questioning, he agreed with her because he was wanted to see how Qian’er would react.
Would Lady Big b.o.o.bs be jealous? He was interested in the answer…
He was disappointed though, as Lady Big b.o.o.bs was her usual self, not giving any reaction.
“Wait for me here, I’ll go pick her up.”
Li Yi summoned the Mermaid Princess and swam to surface…
The waterway was so deep that once Li Yi reached the surface, Autumn Love was already waiting by the frozen lake.
“How did you arrive so fast?” Li Yi was curious.
“I was skinning around here. Brother, are we going underwater?”
“Yes.”
Li Yi threw an Underwater Breathing Potion to Autumn Love. She drank the whole bottle before jumping in.
“Just swim down and you’ll arrive at the place soon enough.”
Li Yi did not summon the Mermaid Princess, and instead, rode on a tortoise to guide the way.
To avoid any misunderstandings, he did not share the ride with Autumn Love, but the latter surprised him instead. After the Black-hearted Chick entered the water, she summoned a piebald seahorse to ride alongside Li Yi.
Qian’er did not own an underwater mount, but she had one?
“Black-hearted Chick, where did you get your mount from?”
“I got it from opening a Gift Box from Heaven in the Brawl Tournament. It’s a pity that the mount was locked on me when I opened it though…”
Li Yi found this amusing, knowing she would sell it if she could.
It was not long before Li Yi and Autumn Love arrived at the bottom of the lake.
“A Tortoise’s corpse!”
Without Li Yi pointing it out, the Black-hearted Chick’s laser vision locked on to the Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise. She pounced at it with her skinning knife…
Pft pft pft pft…
As her skinning knife flickered about, the surrounding water was drenched in red by the spewing blood.
Qian’er and Li Yi took a few steps back.
“So, this is your lover? How terrifying…”
It was a b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.sacre that not even Li Yi could bear to watch. “Cough, I agree with you.”
Five minutes later, the Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise’s corpse vanished. Autumn Love held a little bottle in her hand, collecting the blood samples from the water while repeating, “Can’t waste them, can’t waste them all…”
Qian’er shuddered at the sight. She has seen a Scrooge before, but Black Autumn was on a completely new level.
Li Yi smacked her. “Go dig up your treasure.”
Qian’er took out her treasure map and followed the corresponding coordinates. Li Yi kept himself occupied by walking around the bottom of the lake, scouring it inch by inch for treasure.
Any location where a Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise sp.a.w.ned was bound to have treasure. This had been proven countless times in his past life. However, the treasures guarded by the Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise varied in quality. They could be treasure chests, hidden treasure caves, common minerals, etc.
“I dug it out!”
While Li Yi’s head was down looking for treasure, Qian’er cheered as the treasure map in her hand disappeared. It was replaced by a black scroll.
It was a Pantheon Ruins Teleportation Scroll!
“Wow, unbelievable!” Qian’er happily gazed at the scroll in her hand.
Holding a little bottle and still collecting blood, Autumn was filled with envy as she fixed her gaze on the Pantheon Ruins Teleportation Scroll. “Miss Qian sure is lucky. Surely, that thing could be sold at a high price.”
Qian’er pursed her lips. “I won’t sell it. I want to master it and once I achieve Territory, I’m gonna torture a perv every day.”
“Torture a perv?”
Qian’er’s dainty finger was directed at Li Yi. “Him!”
Autumn Love was dumbfounded. “How is Brother a perv? Brother… is such a good guy.”
“Pft, him? A good guy? I guess only you would say so…”
Li Yi shouted, “Stop fooling around. Happy now? If you’re done being happy, let’s go find our treasure.”
At the sound of treasure, Autumn dropped the bottle to the ground and asked, “Treasure? Treasure? There’s treasure here?”
“Yes, now go search for it. Perv said so himself so there must be one.”
“Oh oh oh…”
Autumn Love picked up the little bottle and started collecting blood while looking for treasure.
The trio launched a micro-inspection at the bottom of the lake. They had circled the bottom the lake three times before they finally came across the hidden treasure that was guarded by the Three-headed Golden Spike Tortoise.
The treasure was discovered by Autumn Love. She found a white seash.e.l.l, thinking there may be a pearl inside. Who knew, upon opening, several streaks of rainbow brilliance would shoot out of the sh.e.l.l.?
Autumn Love screamed at the top of her lungs, “Tre-tre-tre-trea… sure!”
Li Yi and Qian’er paddled over and by the time they made it there, the rainbow rays that shot out of the sh.e.l.l transformed into a display of ancient words before the trio.
“No more dissension and battlefields. No more ma.s.sacre and struggle. Only peace and serenity. Agulu, sinagudu, kaliwuhu…”
The first half of the sentence was understandable but n.o.body, including Li Yi could decipher the second half.
The multicolored glow kept on flickering as the magical words lasted 30 seconds before disappearing. The rainbow then transformed into a teleportation door.
“This is…”
“Seven Secret Places, the entrance to the Water World!”
System Notification: [The door to the Water World has opened. Please step forward as the teleportation door will be shut in 20 seconds.]
At the sound of the notification, Li Yi pulled both Qian’er and Autumn Love into the teleportation door…
