Chapter 440: It’s time to meet you! "Military Advisor, what should we do?" The general held the wooden ball, but he was still unsure. He didn't know whether the Taoist was really a god or what his abilities were, nor did he know what the wooden pill was for or whether it could deal with the monster. He didn't even know how to use it. When the Taoist gave it to him, he just told him to carry it with him and said something ambiguous like "it might help." "General, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not..." "Military Advisor, we have known each other for many years. What can't we talk about? It's already this time, so stop keeping us in suspense." "That Taoist priest has been sitting on the mountaintop for who knows how long. He remained calm in the face of the storm and was as calm as a mirror while fishing for the giant turtle. He must be a master without a doubt." The military advisor said, "Although what the Taoist priest said is not pleasant to hear, it does make sense when you think about it carefully. General, why don't you give it a try?" "But that monster is as big as a mountain..." "As big as a mountain, hasn't the general thought of a countermeasure?" "I have thought of countermeasures, but even so, the soldiers must fight for their lives." The general said, looking around in embarrassment. "..."

The military advisor also looked helpless. The captains and soldiers under his command are indeed cowardly, but doesn’t the general know where the root cause lies? After thinking about it, I could only say euphemistically: "The general is not a stingy person. He treats us well on weekdays. Nowadays, there are very few superiors like the general who can clearly distinguish rewards and punishments and share wealth and honor. The soldiers are not stupid and must understand this. In my opinion, as long as the general gives you money first, then promises fame and fortune, and invites you to a feast before leaving, and drinks a pot of wine, says a few nice words at the feast, and then tells you the punishment for being cowardly in advance, plus the treasures bestowed by the gods, the soldiers will definitely be willing to follow the general to fight the monster." "This is enough?" "That's not enough!" said the military advisor, "The general needs to personally hold the gun and the sword and lead the way!" "This……" "It's already this late. With the treasures given by the gods protecting you, what do you have to be afraid of?" The military advisor gnashed his teeth, annoyed. "General, you must know! This is your life at stake! The King of Yue wants to chop off your head!" "I have to think..." The general hesitated and walked back slowly. How could a soldier who wears armor and joins the army not have any courage in his heart? Moreover, the military order is as firm as a mountain at this time. The general thought of fighting the monster to death and letting it see what human beings can do, and then thought of being swallowed by it. He thought of the fame and position he had worked so hard to build, and if he could defeat the monster, he might be able to make further progress. Then he thought of his beautiful wife, concubines, and children at home, wondering what their fate would be after his death. Until you walk back to the Mirage City from here. "General..." The military advisor beside him called out in a low voice, worried about him until his lips were cracked. The general clenched the wooden ball, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "Dry!" It’s a dead end anyway! Immediately, according to what the military advisor said— First, make plans and preparations according to the countermeasures you have thought of before. He then took out the silver that had been stored at home and distributed it to the officers and soldiers before setting off. When distributing the money, the military advisor spoke in a eloquent manner, citing classics and making extensive references to inspire the soldiers.

The general promised fame and fortune. Have a drink before leaving, smash the cup, and leave while still drunk. It was already three days later and the wind and waves seemed to have subsided. The general prepared a huge trap on the beach. When he arrived at the beach, although he was still scared, he couldn't stop. The military advisor beside him stood up and shouted: "I am willing to be the bait to lure the monster into the trap!" This is a frail and thin scholar. The general, his personal soldiers, and the lieutenants were all big and strong, with faces and necks flushed from being drunk. When they heard the military advisor's words, their brains immediately buzzed, as if they were washed away by a rush. How can a military advisor be asked to lure monsters? "The military advisor can't do this! I'll go!" "One person can't do it! Add me!" "I'm going too!" Several captains rode their horses forward, using themselves as bait to lure and anger the giant turtle and lure it into the trap. If viewed from a high place, the giant turtle is really huge, like a movable island or hill. Compared to it, even the elite cavalry captains on horseback are just small dots. But now a battle between human soldiers and the giant turtle is being staged here. The giant turtle was running wildly, raising dust that covered the sky. The earth was shaking, and the captain was almost caught up by it and swallowed into its mouth. Fortunately, they did not fail in their mission. It was a ready-made "cage" with a huge deep pit dug underneath. "Soldiers! Follow me!" The general spurred his horse and raised his gun, gritting his teeth and shouting, his eyes wide open, his mouth reeking of alcohol, then he took the lead and rushed towards the trap. Someone poured kerosene and started a raging fire. The giant turtle was burned so much that it raised its head and cried out in pain. Someone threw poison into its mouth. Someone injured its limbs and tail with a huge hook. Others threw spears dipped in poison and equipped with barbs, and shot arrows dipped in poison, but as soon as they came into contact with the enemies, they immediately retreated. Some people brought crossbows and shot out huge harpoons with barbs. The harpoons were connected to thick ropes, which were tied to nearby huge rocks and trees. There were a lot of them. The giant turtle struggled frantically and resisted with all its might. The seashore was filled with the cries of giant turtles, as well as the commands and roars of human soldiers. The battle was earth-shattering. "Watch out! Hook withdraw!" "More kerosene!"

"It's coming to the left!" "Why doesn't the god's treasure work?" "Never mind! Just let it go for now! Don't push it too hard!" "Throw the spear!" The numerous soldiers are like ancient fishermen hunting large whales. They will never engage in a head-on confrontation with them, but make full use of their ingenuity and wisdom, work together in an orderly manner, and their movements are tense but with a clear rhythm. Naturally, it is also extremely thrilling. Therefore, it is necessary to relax in moderation. "Woo buzz..." The giant turtle raised its head to the sky and let out a long cry, which caused the earth and the ocean to tremble. The breath it exhaled from its mouth and nose sprayed in all directions like mist, and the yellow sand was easily blown away wherever it sprayed. Seeing this, many soldiers fled. Unexpectedly, the fight lasted from afternoon to evening, and from evening to late night, with torches lighting up the beach. Many soldiers were too tired to walk or breathe, and many were injured and unconscious. No matter how strong the giant turtle's vitality was or how big it was, it could no longer hold on. At this time, its huge body was full of arrows, spears, fish hooks and harpoons, and its body was burnt black by fire. Fear overwhelmed its ferocity in its eyes and it just tried its best to escape from this place and return to the sea. There were many harpoons on his body, connected to many huge rocks and trees, but the ropes were also straightened and tightened one by one. The huge rocks gradually loosened and the big trees seemed to be about to be uprooted. Showing the amazing power of the giant turtle. "Don't let it get away!" The general shouted at the top of his lungs, but he knew that if he let it escape now, all his efforts would be in vain. Without having time to ponder why the gods' treasure was completely useless, the general rode forward with his spear in hand, leaped over the blazing flames, broke through the thick smoke, and threw the spear, directly piercing the giant turtle's eye. "Ouch..." The giant turtle shouted loudly, shaking up the yellow sand. With a breath, the mist hit the general. In the rolling yellow sand, the general and the horse under him were blown away. "General!" His personal soldiers helped him up and took him away from the battlefield, while his soldiers continued to fight. After about another hour of fierce and thrilling fighting, the giant turtle, which was covered with wounds, finally accepted its fate and lay motionless, its vitality rapidly weakening. This fight seemed to end with human victory. "General! It's dead!" "Checkmate! We win!"

His personal soldiers kept coming to tell him the good news. The general finally breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and fell to the ground as if he had no strength left in his body. Fortunately, the sand is soft. "Canopy!" The general kicked up dust, his spear fell to the ground, and a wooden ball fell out of his arms. Many of the personal guards and captains picked up the spear in the light of the fire, then looked at the wooden ball, but they could not help but look at each other in bewilderment. They naturally recognized it; it was the one lent to the general by the Taoist priest on the mountain. But this treasure seemed to have no effect. At this moment, there was another buzzing sound in the sea. "Buzz~~" The long sound was like a dragon's roar, and it was vibrating. The beach was shaking and white beads were jumping on the sea surface. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that among the rolling waves, another sea monster, about the same size as the giant turtle and as big as a hill, came ashore and crawled towards them without stopping. It was actually another giant turtle! "This monster has two heads?" "what to do!?" Although everyone had the power to get rid of the monster, their strength was almost exhausted, the traps they had prepared were almost destroyed, and the spears, giant hooks, harpoons and fire oil were almost used up. Without recuperation and preparation, how could they fight a giant turtle again? "Run!" Without hesitation, everyone fled away like crazy. Fortunately, a few of the personal soldiers were loyal enough. Although they themselves were already exhausted, they even took the paralyzed general with them when they ran. "Rumble..." The earth rolled and the giant turtle rushed towards them madly. They can run, but the wounded cannot. But I never expected that at this moment, a breeze blew between heaven and earth. In the sand, the wooden ball that fell from the general's arms suddenly took off with the wind and flew into the night sky. I don't know when the sky and the earth have become much clearer. I can even see a crescent moon and a few stars. Of course, I can also see the wooden ball that has suddenly grown larger in the night sky. "boom!" A soldier who looked like a giant god fell to the ground with a bang, splashing yellow sand several feet high, and directly blocked them from the giant turtle. This giant god is really huge! The contrast is even more exaggerated!

The two giant turtles in front of him were like small hills. If you talk about the length from head to tail, they are more than half of his height. But when they lie on the ground, in terms of height, they are not even as high as the knees of this giant. As many soldiers were fleeing, they looked sideways and were stunned. I saw the giant god wearing armor, holding a golden whip, with his eyes wide open, just like the legendary giant god from the sky who had come down to the mortal world. He bent down, pressed his left hand on the giant turtle's head to block it, and raised the golden whip in his right hand and hit the giant turtle's head. "Oh!" A loud noise that shook the world. The fleeing soldiers were completely stunned. They couldn't help but stop and look in this direction. They saw a scene of gods exorcising demons. …… When the general woke up, it was almost dawn. At this time, he was lying in a piece of yellow sand, with a bonfire lit beside him and surrounded by the captain's personal soldiers, but they were all still in shock. "What happened? Is the monster dead?" "died……" The military advisor turned around and answered him. "That evil Taoist! How dare you lie to me! This thing is totally useless!" The general reached into his arms, trying to take out the wooden ball and throw it away, but found that the wooden ball was gone. "Huh? Where is the wooden bead that the evil Taoist gave me?" After the general finished speaking, he realized that everyone was looking at him strangely. (End of this chapter)
