Beauty and the Bodyguard

So even if he could see a few fish swimming through the ice, he couldn't catch them. He didn't feel anything, but he used too much strength and the ice under his feet cracked. Zhaolong jumped back into the cold Lake, screaming,"Ah, Yingluo."

Zhaolong's scream attracted Lin Yi and Xinyan's attention, but Lin Yi didn't bother with him when he saw that Zhaolong had only fallen into the lake. He wasn't far from the shore, and the water was shallow.

Zhaolong wasn't in a hurry to come back up after falling into the lake. He endured the cold and reached his hand into the lake, trying to catch some fish to roast. However, the fish were all very smart, and Zhaolong couldn't catch them no matter how hard he tried. Just as he was feeling depressed, he felt two things at the bottom of the lake. He didn't know what they were, but he picked them up and found that they were a turtle and a small bottle in its claws!

After Zhaolong caught it, the turtle let go of its claws and retracted its head and claws back into its shell, leaving the bottle in Zhaolong's hands.

"Hey, my luck is not bad. I didn't catch any fish, but I caught a turtle!" Zhaolong chuckled, thinking that a soft-shelled turtle would do as well. He hadn't tried it yet, and didn't know how it would taste. He didn't touch it anymore, but climbed back to the shore and ran back quickly, waving the turtle in front of Lin Yi and Xinyan."What do you think? it's quite high-end, right? this thing is a high-priced product on the market!"

"Oh, then you can eat." Lin Yi looked at the turtle, not thinking much of it. He'd never heard of a turtle that could be roasted-how was he supposed to roast it with such a thick shell?

"Xinyan, do you want to eat?" Zhaolong didn't have any intention of letting Lin Yi have any-his target was Xinyan.

"No, thank you. I'm full." Wang Xinyan shook her head, thinking that the turtle was quite scary.

Zhaolong was getting ready to grill the turtle, but he realized that he didn't know how to grill it. The turtle retracted its head and limbs, making it impossible for Zhaolong to start!

"What is this?" Zhaolong looked at the small bottle in his hand. It was a transparent bottle with an unknown blue liquid inside. He didn't know what it was, but he didn't open the bottle to see.

After all, this thing was found in the lake. Who knew if it was poison or a chemical? It wouldn't be fun if it was poisonous!

Zhaolong wanted to throw the bottle away.

"Wait," Lin Yi stopped Zhaolong.

"What are you doing? You want it?" Zhaolong asked.

"What if it's some kind of chemical explosive, and you throw it and it explodes?" Lin Yi, naturally, wouldn't say that he was interested in the bottle. He only frowned and spoke in a bad tone.

"Tsk, you're just scaring people!" Zhaolong's face was full of disdain, but his heart was shaking. He'd thought that there might be something bad in the bottle, and that it might be a chemical, but he didn't think that it was a chemical. What if it really was an explosive? wouldn't it explode if he dropped it?

Zhaolong handed it to Lin Yi like it was a hot potato.

"I'll throw it far away. " Lin Yi stood up and walked out of the cave, but he didn't throw the bottle away. He asked calmly,"Elder Jiao, why do I feel like this is some good stuff?"

"It's indeed a good item. It contains a powerful water energy, but I don't know what it is. " Elder Jiao's voice sounded in his ear.

"Hmm ... As long as it's something good, I'll leave it behind!" Lin Yi put the bottle back in his pocket and returned to the cave.

Zhaolong was roasting the turtle because the shell was too thick. He decided to throw the whole thing into the fire, thinking that no matter how thick the shell was, it would be cooked.

The little turtle was obviously in pain after being thrown into the fire. It struggled to get out of the fire, but Zhaolong kicked it back in as soon as it did. Zhaolong kicked it like a ball, having a lot of fun.

Xinyan frowned. Turtles were supposed to be food for humans, but she didn't like people who mistreated turtles like this. You can't kick turtles like balls, can you?

The turtle's struggle was getting weaker and weaker after being kicked into the fire a few times. It was obvious that it couldn't hold on any longer, and the sound of the flames burning on the turtle's shell was a little harsh. Xinyan turned away, not wanting to see Zhaolong torture the turtle.

But at this time, Lin Yi suddenly felt an extremely strong presence appear, bringing with it a very dangerous feeling. The Jade on his chest also sent out an alert signal at this time!

The Jade's warning signal would only alert Lin Yi or his team members when they were in real danger, and Lin Yi trusted the Jade's signal a lot. Plus, that sudden feeling he had made him subconsciously alert.

He wanted to hold Xinyan's hand and leave the cave-the cave was small, and he could see the end, but Lin Yi felt like the danger wasn't coming from the cave, but from outside!

And so, Lin Yi wanted to leave the cave as soon as possible-if he was too late, he'd be stuck in the cave!

But the danger came too quickly-it only took a few seconds for Lin Yi to sense the danger, and it was already here before he could leave with Xinyan!

Lin Yi took in a cold breath at the sight of the giant creature outside the cave. He had no choice but to pull Xinyan back into the cave, hoping that the creature wouldn't get stuck at the entrance.

However, Zhaolong didn't seem to sense any danger. He was still happily kicking the turtle.

"Ah!" Xinyan raised her head and realized that something was wrong as well-she jumped in shock.

"Roar!" With a roar, a giant claw reached into the hole and sent Zhaolong flying with a slap. It then took the little turtle from the fire!

Zhaolong didn't get hit, but the force still sent him flying. His head hit the wall of the cave, and blood started flowing. He didn't know what was going on, and was about to curse when he looked up and was dumbfounded! (To be continued.)
