378: Chapter 377 A Rare Moment of Tranquility

Most of the shimmering golden light gathered and fell upon Xiao Luowei.

Chu Xuan did not gain much here.

However, the speed at which his health points increased was not too slow, recovering gradually at a rate of almost 1 point every 5 minutes.

After more than half an hour had passed, Chu Xuan's health points had recovered by 6, while Xiao Luowei's complexion had completely returned to normal.

"When enveloped by the golden light, the best enhancement effect can only be obtained in a non-combat state."

Xiao Luowei let out a long breath and nodded slightly toward Chu Xuan. "It is only because of The Dragon Turtle's existence that I have been able to escape death many times. To me, every Rebirth from the brink of death can be considered a significant Opportunity."

Xiao Luowei gently patted the large turtle's head and said in a soft tone, "The Dragon Turtle, the benefactor seems to have sustained some injuries as well. Please do your best to help him recover next."

The large turtle gave a low cry, and golden light surfaced on its body once again before sinking into Chu Xuan's body.

This time, Chu Xuan immediately discovered that his health points were recovering rapidly at a rate of 1 point per second. In just about five minutes, he had recovered 300 points.

The golden light then gradually dimmed and decreased; the large turtle seemed to have reached its limit. However, after another ten-plus minutes, Chu Xuan's health points were completely restored to their original state.

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling that the recovery effect of this Immortal Longevity Turtle was truly impressive. No wonder Xiao Luowei had been able to survive while being constantly hunted.

At this moment, perhaps because the large turtle had helped them recover in succession, its aura appeared somewhat listless.

"Benefactor, there is no need to worry. The Dragon Turtle can absorb the essence of heaven and earth on its own and will return to normal in a short while. It won't delay our journey."

Xiao Luowei spoke from the side, then suddenly showed a hint of joy as she pointed ahead. "Benefactor, there is a small island over there. I will perform Bloody Rain and Windy Storm there to refine your body! Once we leave the sea's surface, the power of my Natal Divine Ability will be stronger, and the effect should be better."

Chu Xuan nodded upon hearing this. "Very well."

At that moment, the System sent another notification: the Talent's time limit was approaching, and it would cost 20 points of spirituality value to maintain the dream.

"Two hours have actually passed so quickly..." Chu Xuan murmured softly. In this boundless ocean, the concept of time was almost blurred.

If not for the System's prompt, Chu Xuan would have almost ignored it.

Amidst his thoughts, Chu Xuan had already made his choice.

Continue the extension.

A few minutes later, the two of them traveled on the turtle, coming up from the shallows to land on the small island.

The large turtle returned to the size of a palm and was taken into Xiao Luowei's hand.

Chu Xuan, on the other hand, stepped into the air and rose to about a hundred meters, looking down from above.

The island was not large, about the size of a dozen football fields. It was covered in dense vegetation, where common fruits and some harmless small beasts could be seen moving about.

"This should be an ordinary island."

The red silk beneath Xiao Luowei's feet was like a blood-colored waterfall as she traversed the distance to Chu Xuan's side. As they slowly landed on the ground together, her expression appeared somewhat solemn.

"Benefactor, as the Tianxing Sea is a Forbidden Land, there is another point to note: one must not proactively harm the beasts here, especially these mundane wild animals. Otherwise, if the Sea Lord is angered, a disaster may descend."

"A special set of rules..." Chu Xuan's eyes flickered. He felt that this was a certain rule existing within The Gloom, which was quite easy to understand.

"Then, please be careful next, Benefactor!"

As Xiao Luowei's voice fell, bursts of bloody rain were swept in by the fierce wind. As expected, it was much more powerful than when they were on the sea.

The stinging sensation was much more intense.

This time, after only 10 seconds, Chu Xuan's health points began to drop.

Until two minutes later, the System finally sent a notification.

[Your Strength +1]

Time passed slowly. About 10 minutes later, Xiao Luowei's face was slightly flushed.

A few more minutes passed.

The rain ceased and the wind stopped.

Chu Xuan's health points ultimately dropped by 800, while his strength attribute increased by another 3 points, reaching exactly 168.

Xiao Luowei's cheeks were flushed red as she panted slightly and said,

"Benefactor, your Physical Body is truly too strong. Even standing still without making any attempt to resist, you could actually endure for so long.

I, on the other hand, am a bit disappointing. Having just entered the Heaven Realm, my Realm is not yet stable. I may need to rest for a while before continuing..."

Chu Xuan's expression shifted slightly. He took a deep look at her and asked, "Do you need a cooldown?"

"What is a cooldown?" Xiao Luowei looked bewildered.

Chu Xuan shook his head and asked directly, "Roughly how long until we can continue?"

Xiao Luowei pondered for a moment and said hesitantly, "About three quarters of an hour."

After a pause, Xiao Luowei added, "Benefactor, I see your aura is slightly unstable. Use this time to let The Dragon Turtle help you recover again."

Chu Xuan nodded and did not refuse.

Next, Xiao Luowei released the Immortal Longevity Turtle again.

Only a short time had passed, yet this golden turtle, now the size of a palm, showed no signs of listlessness.

Furthermore, its Healing power was significantly stronger than when it was in its enlarged state, allowing him to recover roughly 3 health points every two seconds.

At the same time, after a brief period of regulating her breath, Xiao Luowei left the shore and went deep into the dense forest.

Chu Xuan did not ask any questions and continued to receive the golden turtle's Healing.

In less than ten minutes, his health points were restored to normal. The feeling of his entire body being continuously enveloped and repaired was very comfortable and wonderful.

Another ten-plus minutes passed, and Xiao Luowei had still not returned. Only the sound of rumbling could be heard from afar.

Chu Xuan looked into the distance and discovered that Xiao Luowei was actually felling trees.

He didn't quite understand her intention, but Chu Xuan didn't ask. He just sat on the sandy beach by the coast, watching the surging tides of the sea.

Looking at it this way, it was no different from an ordinary island.

"How long has it been since I was this leisurely? It seems like I never have been..." Chu Xuan felt the bath of sunlight, and his heart felt a rare sense of tranquility.

A warm, moist sensation suddenly came from his palm.

Chu Xuan didn't even need to look down to know that the golden turtle was licking his fingers. He chuckled and toyed with it a few times.

"The Dragon Turtle, The Dragon Turtle..."

Chu Xuan felt that this name was somewhat inconsistent with the creature's might when it transformed into the size of an elephant, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. He took out a large storage jar and poured some green life essence into his palm.

The golden turtle crawled over with agility and licked it up quickly. In a short while, about half an ounce of the liquid was licked clean by the golden turtle, and it continued to lick.

It seemed to have become even more affectionate.

So Chu Xuan poured it three more times. The golden turtle licked it all clean, then wobbled dizzily a few times and flipped over onto its back.

Its limbs moved randomly; it looked just like it was drunk.

At this time, Xiao Luowei also returned.

She had her red sleeves rolled up as she dragged two thick tree trunks over. With a few successive taps of her fingers, the trees, which were thick enough for a person to hug, were broken into well-proportioned sections.

Before long, a small wooden hut was built on the shore.

Xiao Luowei nodded with satisfaction, then walked over with light steps. "Benefactor, let us continue..."

Bloody Rain and Windy Storm rose again.

The third extension prompted by the System arrived as well.

This time, 30 points of spirituality value were deducted.

[Remaining spirituality value: 9916]
