Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou wanted to release the iron claws at this moment, but found that the old Wang Ba(王八: turtle) was running too fast. The iron claws on his side were not properly secured and had locked his own arm. Annoyed, he could only follow the Wang Ba(王八: turtle) in large strides.

The Wang Ba(王八: turtle) still had Captain Huang in its claws. At this moment, it directly threw Captain Huang into its mouth, intending to eat him. Captain Huang was terrified. Divine power surged, and he used both hands to desperately prop open the Wang Ba's(王八: turtle) mouth, preventing it from closing. At this moment, the Wang Ba(王八: turtle) was being chased by countless torches and could not focus on exerting force, so it could only let him hold on.

The Wang Ba(王八: turtle) was incredibly fast and ran up the mountain in the blink of an eye. Only then did Li Ergou realize that the Wang Ba(王八: turtle) was probably returning to its lair. However, below was the Old Dragon Pit, surely it wouldn't go there? He figured that Captain Huang must have been blind not to have discovered this creature, otherwise everyone wouldn't have suffered so much.

As he ran, he heard Captain Huang shouting from inside the Wang Ba's(王八: turtle) mouth, "Save me, hurry and save me!" Li Ergou thought Captain Huang was dead, but he didn't expect him to still be alive. He was immediately overjoyed and said, "Captain Huang, this old turtle is too powerful, I can't kill it!"

Hearing someone, Captain Huang recognized Ergou's voice. He was immediately happy and said, "Ergou, hurry, don't let it return to that big pit. Once it gets there, it will be in its element, and we'll both die. Jump onto its back, find the soft flesh on its back, and cut it with your knife."

Li Ergou looked at the Old Dragon Pit not far ahead and understood that if he didn't do something, he might really die here. Of course, if he was ruthless, he could escape, but the consequences would be unimaginable.

With that thought, he took out the copper coin sword from the copper mirror, and with a ruthless heart, he cut the iron chain in the middle of the iron claws. With a flick of his hand, he removed the iron claws from his arm and threw them into the copper mirror.

Immediately, he saw him kick his legs hard, leap up, and land on the back of the giant Wang Ba(王八: turtle).

After searching for a while, he saw that in the middle of the Wang Ba's(王八: turtle) back, the shell was broken, revealing a large patch of flesh. At this moment, the Wang Ba(王八: turtle) was running, causing immense jolting. Li Ergou immediately stood in a horse stance, his legs firmly planted as if they had taken root, and no matter how much it jolted, it couldn't throw him off.

He held the copper coin sword, knowing that he only had one chance. He saw divine power surge, and countless spiritual energy rushed into the copper coin sword, which immediately emitted a golden light.

As spiritual power continued to pour into it, a foot-long sword radiance emerged from the copper coin sword, carrying terrifying power, capable of cutting hair with a breath.

Closer, closer, with only a few steps left, the giant Wang Ba(王八: turtle) was about to enter the Old Dragon Pit. He immediately urged all the spiritual power in his body, and the sword radiance soared another foot. Then, he shouted and inserted the sword into the Wang Ba's(王八: turtle) body.

The sword radiance was sharp, like a hot knife through butter. The giant Wang Ba(王八: turtle) screamed and stepped into the water.

Li Ergou exerted force, directly grabbing the sword and pulling it backward, tearing open a huge wound in its flesh, a foot wide.

Whether it was because the force was too great or the copper coin sword was too fragile, the copper coin sword suddenly broke, and Li Ergou was speechless.

At this moment, the old Wang Ba(王八: turtle) went crazy, exerting force with its mouth and body. Captain Huang's body made cracking sounds, and it was unknown how many bones were broken under this immense force, but he was still desperately holding on.

The old Wang Ba(王八: turtle) had no choice but to open its mouth and spit him out, and Huang San crashed into the stone wall at the edge of the pit.

Huang San was grateful, finally freed, but perhaps due to serious internal injuries, he fainted.

The old Wang Ba(王八: turtle) ignored Huang San and turned to bite Li Ergou on its back.

At this moment, the old Wang Ba(王八: turtle) entered the water, and Li Ergou wanted to leave, but it was too late. In the water, the old Wang Ba(王八: turtle) was even more powerful. However, it was badly injured, and before it could bite Li Ergou, its eyes widened, and its limbs twitched. It looked like it was about to die.

Seeing this opportunity, Li Ergou held the broken copper coin sword and used his martial arts power to stab its head. The copper coin sword was, after all, a magic weapon, extremely sharp.

With a fierce stab, the old Wang Ba's(王八: turtle) true energy leaked out, and its flesh and skin were no longer so firm. Li Ergou poked a dozen holes in its head in an instant, and it didn't move anymore. It was dead.

Li Ergou was also weak all over. He had used almost all of his martial arts and divine power. Fortunately, the giant Wang Ba(王八: turtle) was dead. He hurriedly threw the giant Wang Ba's(王八: turtle) corpse into the copper mirror.

Unknowingly, during the fight with the giant Wang Ba(王八: turtle), he had sunk to a depth of 100 meters underwater. Looking down, it was still dark. He didn't know how deep it was below. He wondered if this Old Dragon Pit really had no bottom.

At this time, he felt suffocated and had to go up to breathe, otherwise he would be suffocated to death.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a green light flashing on the cave wall. Out of curiosity, he swam over to check and saw a huge scale. This scale was light green in color, like a sharp sword inserted into the stone wall.

Surprise flashed in Li Ergou's eyes, and he was even more excited. He thought, could this be a dragon scale?

He quickly reached out and used all his strength to pull the scale from the stone wall. The scale was huge, about two chi(尺: a unit of length, approximately 33.3 cm) in size, and very heavy.

Thinking that this might be a dragon scale, he was even more excited, but he didn't have time to think, because his lungs were about to explode.

He quickly put the scale into the copper mirror and swam upwards quickly.

What he didn't know was that just as he swam upwards, in the dark deep water, at an unknown depth, suddenly, a pair of huge, light golden eyes opened, like two huge golden lanterns.

A huge shadow circled in the water and swam even deeper.

"Plop..." Li Ergou lay on the shore, panting heavily. After a while, he recovered. He glanced at Captain Huang on the shore. Fortunately, this guy was still breathing, but he was unconscious.

He quickly took out the giant Wang Ba(王八: turtle) and the scale and copied them. This was the first instinctive reaction he had formed after suffering several losses. In a short time, the giant Wang Ba's(王八: turtle) corpse became two, and the scale also became two. He stored one corpse and two scales in the copper mirror.

Then he pinched Huang San's philtrum and splashed cold water on him. After a while, he finally woke him up.

Huang Butou(捕头: chief) opened his eyes and saw Li Ergou's face. Only then did he realize that he was not dead. He took a deep breath and said, "Where are we? Is the giant Wang Ba(王八: turtle) dead?"

Li Ergou turned his head and saw the giant Wang Ba's(王八: turtle) corpse on the shore.

Huang Butou(捕头: chief) chuckled and said, "Good, good, you have made a great contribution. You not only saved me but also killed the giant Wang Ba(王八: turtle). After I go back, I will commend you."

Li Ergou was slightly stunned. Commendation, meritorious service, wouldn't that mean promotion? Those officials are not only dangerous but also busy like headless flies every day.

To be honest, he didn't want to be promoted. It would be great to be an ordinary policeman, carefree, raising chickens, selling eggs, lazing around, and having no worries about food and clothing. Could there be anything more carefree than this?

With this thought, he didn't want this credit and quickly said, "No, no, sir, this Wang Ba(王八: turtle) was clearly killed by you. It has nothing to do with me. I just helped a little."

Huang San was slightly stunned when he heard this, thinking that this kid was likable and a good seed.
