Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 721 - 82: Tang Xian and the Endless Turtle_2

"When Tang Feiji first saw me, he told me these words, 'The slaves of the Enforcers have already come to this world.'"

"Tang Feiji hasn't left the deep sea for hundreds of years; how would he know anything about the Enforcers?"

"The fact proves that Tang Feiji's understanding of Eden and the Enforcers is very vague. Those Titans of the sea look like they have low intelligence. Therefore, the one that told Tang Feiji these things could only be... the Sea God."

Tang Xian silently pondered the possibilities closest to the truth, linking various clues together.

"And the Sea God disagreed with the Judge, but the Myriad Beasts Codex does not mention this. The Myriad Beasts Codex I now see contains only a little more detail than what the Xuan Bird told me."

"It seems then, that the Judge is concealing something, and so are the humans behind the forbidden area of the holy mountain. They might know some secrets, and while any human is no match for me, how am I to circumvent the Judge?"

Regarding why the Judge had been so kind to him these days, Tang Xian, a major conspirator, actually had a terrifying idea that might be very close to the truth.

"The Eden Tribe's life recovery ability is extremely strong. Even if hurt by the Judgment Knight's Exhaustive Ray, they can recover. It just takes a few days' time."

"The Xuan Bird told me the Judge was injured. According to the set of talents given by the Enforcers, the creatures of the mining area possess ten types of combat values, one of which is life recovery. No matter the severity of the injury, as long as this ability remains, they should not take hundreds of years to recover from an injury."

"So, the Judge must have lost the life recovery ability, and in terms of vitality and life recovery ability, at least before a monster like Tang was manufactured, I was the strongest in this world."

"That place is also strange. Why does the place where the Judge lives is called the altar? What does he want to sacrifice?"

Thinking this through, Tang Xian quickly clarified his thoughts.

This invitation to the holy mountain was not about the leaders of Baichuan City and the Myriad Beasts Realm having a friendly and in-depth conversation, marking the first step towards peaceful coexistence between the two peoples.

It's very possible that I am the food.

"The traitor mentioned by Bai Shuang, if there are no surprises, would be the Judge. Even the Enforcers of the Human World, and the Judge, or rather those inside the forbidden area of the holy mountain, are closely related; they must be plotting something."

"The appearance of the Enforcers may not be much later than that of the mechanical race. But how can I infiltrate? I must avoid detection by the Judge and that lizard that can't be sensed."

Tang Xian had already made up his mind to find a way to avoid the altar, then enter the forbidden area to confront the humans inside.

But this would require avoiding both a cataclysmic beast and an apocalyptic beast.

He closed the book, unable to figure it out and not in a hurry either. He could roam freely on the holy mountain for now, as long as he did not cross the altar.

Suddenly, Tang Xian became very concerned about the state of the human world.

In the world of the Pyramid, how did an old fox like Li Wanye make his choices? After that, did Constantine live as himself, or had he really become a puppet of the Enforcers?

Song Que and the others in Baichuan City would probably be restless. The last time I returned, I had seen that Baichuan City was preparing to expand its human workforce.

Tang Xian, after all, was not a deity and had his moments of incomprehension. But this was the holy mountain, home to a ready-made charlatan at his disposal.

So, he strolled leisurely towards the great waterfall.

The winter waterfall was still as majestic as ever, with its cascading water. Underneath the great waterfall was a massive stone.

That was not actually a stone but a turtle that had retracted into its shell.

"Do not approach the venerable Endless Turtle!" the long-eared ancient ape guarding the Endless Turtle shrieked sharply.

Tang Xian glanced at the long-eared ancient monkey, thinking of the data on myriad beasts he had seen in the great library.

It described how gluttons often ate long-eared ancient monkeys. Tang Xian might have to wait for turtle soup, but tonight he could have monkey brains.

His gaze appeared harmless, with a gentle smile that bore a hint of Song Que's style, yet the long-eared ancient monkey suddenly dared not speak anymore, feeling that this look resembled that of a certain Judgment Chief.

The monkey was frightened away.

Tang Xian then stepped over the icy river water and approached the Endless Turtle.

The Endless Turtle had already retracted its head into its shell.

"Can you tell fortunes here?"

"I was born in August, Leo, lacking in the water element, and in the year of the horse."

"Do you offer all these services? Can my fate be changed? If not, can you do feng shui readings? My house in Baichuan faces north towards the south, but it's right in the middle of a road, how can I resolve this feng shui issue?"

"I had a dream last night, about an idiot, I've been dreaming about her frequently lately, but I don't think it's love, can you interpret this dream for me?"

"What's your method? Reading palms or feeling bones?"

Tang Xian said quite a bit all in one go.

While talking, he also knocked on the turtle shell, knocking so hard that he even felt a pain feedback in his sea of consciousness.

Seeing the Endless Turtle afraid to come out, and thinking its shell was an invincible protection, Tang Xian was not in a hurry. He continued knocking, but he was still saying:

"Could it be that you're from the west? You don't practice this sort of thing? Are you into tarot cards and crystal balls?"

"I don't know much about that stuff. The fortune-telling methods left by our ancestors at least have the support of the 'Book of Changes', the top scripture. Tarot cards are not so impressive."

"Yo, not doing business? Or just not with me? I heard you say that Bai the white snake and the saucy fox are fighting over a man. She's waiting for me to resolve this issue, so hurry up and come out, or I'll pry open your shell."

After the last sentence was spoken, the Endless Turtle shuddered, and after a minute, it slowly extended its limbs and then gradually stuck out its head.

It looked at Tang Xian with an expression filled with grievance and fear.

Tang Xian patted the Endless Turtle's head.

"Pretty tough, pretty good, the tougher the better, able to withstand the cooking. Turtle soup, eh, it needs to be simmered slowly over a gentle fire."

The Endless Turtle could naturally understand what Tang Xian was saying.

At this moment, it was so scared it was beside itself with fear, never having predicted that it would find itself in such a predicament.

Tang Xian did not expect that he would be visiting the Endless Turtle on Holy Mountain as a guest for the time being.

[You, want, to, know...]

"Stop dawdling, speak up. If you speak slowly, you'll be hit," Tang Xian said impatiently.

[What do you want to know.]

The Endless Turtle's years of sluggishness were momentarily scared away, but it only lasted a few seconds before its speech slowed down again.

[I, will, try, my, best, to, tell, you.]

Tang Xian found it somewhat amusing, and not in a hurry, said:

"There's too much I want to know, are you aware of human affairs?"

[No, no, know.]

"You're already very slow, if you stutter too, just don't speak at all," Tang Xian said, annoyed.

Unable to find out what had happened to Li Wanye, Song Que, and the others, Tang Xian felt a bit regretful, but it was not a big deal. There were many things he could ask about, and he sensed that the Endless Turtle was very afraid of him.

"Have you seen me before? In your prophecies?"

The Endless Turtle dared not answer, but indeed it had seen him, it seemed... he had been eaten by this person.

When Tang Xian noticed the Endless Turtle becoming increasingly fearful, along with its facial analysis of needs, he realized what was going on.

He laughed, finding the Endless Turtle quite amusing.

"Come on, cast a fortune. Will I be able to leave here alive?"
