Chapter 412
Her beautiful eyes were also filled with shock.
“This isn’t a mountain, nor is it an island. It’s actually… it’s actually a giant mutant turtle! Such an enormous mutant turtle p>
“No wonder, no wonder seaweed was growing on it, and there were giant barnacles on the island, along with mutated sea fish corpses p>
“Because this isn’t a small mountainous island at all; it’s a giant turtle p>
At this moment, Song Wen recalled all the strange occurrences encountered when they had landed on the island, and she finally pieced them together; it all made sense now.
Those things were merely brought up on the turtle’s back while it swam underwater.
Huang Han, Wu Ying, and Wang An were also stunned, unable to utter a single word.
A turtle this enormous, with a shell as large as two football fields—it’s not something they had even heard of, let alone seen!
Yet here it was, a turtle of such monumental size, right before their eyes!
Even the octopus that was over ten meters long hadn’t shaken them this much!
“Has the world already evolved to this extent p>
Liang Yuan was equally shocked to his core, unable to remain calm.
He had initially thought that mankind had merely started the journey of evolution later.
But seeing a turtle as big as an island, he realized that humans were not just late starters but were on the verge of being left behind in the path of evolution!
An urgent sense of crisis suddenly filled his mind.
At the same time, he thought of those Stone Forest-like monsters.
Their short tentacles adhered deeply to the dirt, appearing to be rooted there.
Now he understood that they were not rooted in the soil but were clinging to the turtle’s shell.
Suddenly, Liang Yuan had an epiphany.
“Clinging to the turtle’s shell, with conical shells like stones… These… these… aren’t they barnacles p>
He suddenly realized what those so-called Stone Forest entities truly were!
Clusters of stone heap monsters looked just like black crystals!
They were giant barnacles!
Before the apocalyptic flood, he used to watch outdoor fishing videos.
He had seen fishermen catch large sea turtles, with barnacles growing all over their backs, causing the turtles great discomfort.
As the barnacles increased, the turtles would become heavier, eventually sinking and drowning.
That’s why many fishermen would help these turtles by removing the barnacles from their shells.
It was a stress-relieving process, and Liang Yuan had watched many such videos.
He never imagined that the giant sea island would turn out to be the shell of a mutant turtle!
Those Stone Forest-like creatures were actually mutant barnacles!
“Is this giant mutant turtle floating on the water to attract humans to help remove these barnacles p>
“So the force affecting human minds in the barnacle growth area isn’t from the barnacles, but from this mutant turtle p>
At that moment, everything made sense to Liang Yuan.
No wonder when the barnacle-like stones were overturned, blood seeped from the ground.
That wasn’t barnacle blood—it was the turtle’s blood!
Splooosh!
The giant turtle rose and fell on the water’s surface, causing massive waves.
Finally, it slowly moved its enormous body and swam towards deeper waters.
Liang Yuan and his group stood on the back of the Golden Python, witnessing the scene, unable to stay calm for a long time.
Everyone stared blankly at the giant turtle that receded like an island, their hearts profoundly shaken.
Could humanity truly hope to surpass these terrifying monsters on the path of evolution?
Eventually, Liang Yuan, with his strong-willed heart, was the first to regain his senses.
Taking a deep breath, his gaze became fiery.
“I don’t know about other humans, but I will certainly reach the pinnacle of this evolutionary path p>
His eyes burned bright, as if flames were ablaze within them.
With the system on his side, he could accumulate points continuously, draw rewards, and gain attribute points.
Given enough time, he believed he would eventually stand ahead of all living beings!
“Huang Han, hurry up. Tang Ying can’t hold on much longer; go find Zhao Kai quickly p>
Liang Yuan ordered with a deep voice. For original chapters go to
At once, everyone snapped out of their trance, and Yang Shenmin quickly turned to Huang Han, saying, “Miss Huang, please p>
Huang Han also came back to her senses, nodding hastily and patting the Golden Python to guide its direction.
Wang An and Song Wen took turns treating Tang Ying.
Liang Yuan watched the giant turtle as its path created turbulent waves and endless roars.
Some high-rise buildings, untouched by the flood, collapsed merely by a slight brush from the turtle.
This scene also fell into the eyes of Yang Shenmin and the others.
Wu Ying couldn’t help but sigh, “Now I understand why Mr. Liang insisted on leaving the building p>
“In front of such massive creatures, concrete buildings are too fragile p>
“We can’t move; trapped inside, we’d stand no chance against any risks p>
Yang Shenmin also sighed, “Yes, hiding in a building is ultimately a dead end. Only by leaving quickly and heading to higher ground do we have a sliver of hope p>
“Unfortunately, Linjiang City has only so many hills, and the floodwaters keep rising. Where can we eventually escape to p>
Not just Yang Shenmin, but also Wu Ying, Wang An, Huang Han, and even Song Wen felt a mix of despair and relief.
Fortunately, they chose to trust Liang Yuan and left Meidu Garden to go to Yangshan together.
Even though they hadn’t arrived yet and had faced various risks along the way, they were now utterly convinced that leaving Meidu Garden was the most correct decision.
“Alright, let’s find our rafts quickly p>
Liang Yuan urged, leaping swiftly to the front of the Golden Python, scanning the surroundings.
Amidst the rain, he soon spotted three wooden rafts bobbing amongst the massive waves.
Although the rafts swayed in the water, they were quite stable and hadn’t overturned.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The Golden Python quickly moved across the water, cutting through the waves, and soon reached the rafts.
Zhao Kai and the others initially panicked at the sight of the Golden Python, mistaking it for a terrifying mutant creature.
But seeing Liang Yuan and his group atop the Golden Python, they were overjoyed.
