Seeing the situation, Luo Feng leaped down from the Black Tortoise's back and approached Niu Shisan's corpse.
Even in death, Niu Shisan remained in the form of a dog.
This deepened Luo Feng's understanding of the power of the Legendary You Are Really a Dog Talisman.
Although the talisman lacked offensive capabilities, its effects were astonishingly potent.
With this talisman in hand, Luo Feng felt more confident and assured in his upcoming actions.
Without further delay, Luo Feng retrieved a Dimensional Storage from Niu Shisan's dog body.
With a flick of flame, he reduced the canine remains to ashes.
Tang Xuewei and the Merfolk Queen observed Luo Feng's actions closely.
They had already known about the talisman Luo Feng possessed—one that could transform others into dogs.
Yet, its actual application exceeded their expectations.
Though the recent battle hadn't been particularly intense, the events that unfolded had left them in awe.
Noticing their dazed expressions, Luo Feng chuckled lightly and said, "Let's go. We can start collecting the Soul-Bewitching Fruits now. If anyone tries to stop us, I'll just turn them into a dog."
For safety, Luo Feng returned to the Black Tortoise's back, letting it carry them forward.
The Black Tortoise's protective shield was incredibly useful.
Luo Feng wondered if he could harness this ability himself.
If successful, he could attack freely while remaining impervious to others' strikes.
Shaking off the thought, Luo Feng focused on the Bewitching Tree nearby.
Meanwhile, the Waspdog King and the Tiger-Headed Eagle were locked in combat once more.
The Tiger-Headed Eagle, convinced that the Dog-Headed Bees had killed its offspring, was relentless in its assault.
Normally, the Tiger-Headed Eagle held dominance over the Dog-Headed Bees, and the two species kept their distance.
But the earlier incident had left the Tiger-Headed Eagle baffled.
Its young had inexplicably charged toward the Dog-Headed Bees' honeycomb.
Logically, its offspring shouldn't have been able to outpace it.
Yet, for some unknown reason, the young eagle had briefly achieved incredible speed.
By the time the Tiger-Headed Eagle sensed the anomaly and rushed over, it was too late.
It usually allowed its young to hunt freely, not hovering over them constantly.
Thus, the tragedy had unfolded.
Though the Tiger-Headed Eagle couldn't comprehend the cause, it refused to let the Dog-Headed Bees go unpunished for its child's death.
With a furious roar, it lunged at the honeycomb.
The Waspdog King, alarmed, swiftly intercepted to prevent the destruction.
The honeycomb was vital to the Dog-Headed Bees—its ruin would mean the death of their progeny.
As the two clashed, fierce battles also raged beneath the Bewitching Tree.
The herd of cattle drawn by Niu Shisan's horn hadn't retreated despite his demise.
Instead, they were frantically attacking these Dog-Headed Bees.
The bodies of these bulls were all ablaze with flames, making it impossible for the Dog-Headed Bees to approach for the time being.
Su Yunxi, who had transformed into a Dog-Headed Bee, felt a twinge of fear at the sight of so many Flame Bulls before her.
The lowest level of these Flame Bulls was Level 1, with most at Level 2 and a few at Level 3.
If she were struck by these Flame Bulls, even if she didn't die, she would likely revert to her original human form.
In such a situation, if she turned back into human form, she probably wouldn't last three seconds before being torn to shreds by the Dog-Headed Bees.
Right now, all she wanted was to seize the opportunity to gather more Soul-Bewitching Fruits and then make a quick escape.
She could always come back later to collect more once she had strengthened her abilities.
She had already seized several chances to gather quite a few Soul-Bewitching Fruits.
Especially now—the fiercer the battle, the greater her opportunities.
Just as she was searching for another opening, her movements suddenly halted, and she stared in shock into the distance.
What she saw nearly scared her back into her original form.
She spotted a massive turtle, atop which stood three people.
These three were all too familiar to her.
They were none other than Shura, Tang Xuewei, and Ariel.
She had parted ways with them not long ago.
If that were all, she wouldn't have been so astonished.
After all, if she could find this place, it wasn't too strange that Luo Feng and the others could too.
What truly stunned her was the extraordinary manner of their arrival.
The enormous turtle was actually flying through the sky toward her.
A flying turtle?
That was just too unscientific, wasn't it?
This deepened her already profound and inscrutable impression of Luo Feng.
Just how many hidden cards did Luo Feng still have up his sleeve?
With Luo Feng's appearance, the Waspdog King and the Tiger-Headed Eagle, locked in combat, suddenly stopped their attacks.
Both creatures turned wary gazes toward Luo Feng.
Their relationship with humans was far from friendly—in fact, it was outright hostile.
Humans who entered this place were usually here to gather treasures or hunt creatures.
Many of their offspring had fallen to human hands, and the numbers were far from insignificant.
Thus, the outcome was all too predictable.
The two of them temporarily set aside their conflict and turned their attention toward Luo Feng and his group.
They would deal with the humans first and then settle their own dispute.
Once they reached this agreement, they swiftly flew toward Luo Feng and the others.
From his perch on the Black Tortoise's back, Luo Feng kept a close watch on the movements of these two Level 5 monsters.
After all, they were Level 5 creatures, while Luo Feng and his companions were only Level 2. They couldn't afford to let their guard down for even a moment.
If the Black Tortoise's protective shield failed, the consequences would be dire.
When Luo Feng saw their actions, his expression darkened—his worst fear had come true.
Upon spotting Luo Feng, the Waspdog King and the Tiger-Headed Eagle had indeed joined forces against him.
It seemed a fierce battle was imminent.
Luo Feng already held the Legendary You Are Really a Dog Talisman in his hand, ready to use it against the two at any moment.
However, Luo Feng wasn't in a hurry to use the Mythical-level talisman immediately. He wanted to take this opportunity to test just how strong the Black Tortoise's Protective Shield was.
Could it withstand attacks from level 5 monsters?
If a level 2 Black Tortoise could block attacks from level 5 creatures, that would be truly terrifying.
