Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 70 White Sand Dragon Turtle

"Hello, sir."

The Hunter Assistant dragged the mouse and introduced Li Yu:
"According to the intelligence from our Hunter Alliance, there are about a hundred pieces of information about turtle monsters that meet your needs."

"Among them, there are ten bounties on turtle monsters."

"What if it's a commander-level turtle demon?"

Li Yu asked.

"Commander level?"

The hunter assistant's eyelids twitched, but he continued to introduce:
"If it's about commanding demons..."

"Then there are only two choices."

"One of them was provided by a hunter. He found a heavily armored alligator turtle with the strength of a small commander on an uninhabited island in the Nansha Islands."

"What about the other one?"

"Another piece of news came from a reward."

The hunter assistant called up the bounty information and said:
“This reward comes from the city hall and the military.

A week ago, villagers in Haiyan Village, which is under the jurisdiction of this city, reported to the municipal government that a white turtle monster over ten meters tall appeared on the beach next to Haiyan Village. According to hunters' investigation, this is a white sand turtle with the strength of a commander. For this reason, the municipal government has issued a reward, hoping to recruit hunters to kill this white sand turtle. "

Hearing the hunter assistant's introduction, Li Yu frowned and said in an unhappy tone:
"White Sand Dragon Singing Turtle? This seems to be a very dangerous demon, right? Didn't the military magician go out immediately?"

"With such a long time, what should we do if the villagers are in danger?"

The White Sand Dragon Singing Turtle, nicknamed the "Ship Crusher", is completely different from other turtle monsters who prefer quietness and restlessness. The White Sand Dragon Singing Turtle is extremely active and has a bad temper. It often cruises near various islands in the South China Sea. Every year, no less than 20 cruise ships and cargo ships are destroyed by the White Sand Dragon Singing Turtle. Generally, when the news of the White Sand Dragon Singing Turtle's appearance is learned, the local military mages stationed need to gather as soon as possible to encircle and suppress it or drive it away.

However, this time Sansha City did not intercept the enemy in the coastal area, allowing the white sand dragon singing turtle to go ashore. Even the handling of the accident was delayed, leaving the villagers of an entire village to stay under the nose of a commander-level demon for a whole week, and they actually had to rely on hunters to deal with the enemy!
"This gentleman has misunderstood. It is not uncommon for demons to come ashore in this city, and the city hall has sufficient emergency plans. In fact, as early as the day when the news of the white sand dragon's whistling turtle was confirmed, the residents of Haiyan Village had been organized to evacuate, and there are no residents on the island now."

Sensing the anger in Li Yu's words, the hunter assistant immediately began to explain. This hunter master from another place looked like a hot-blooded type. If things were not made clear, it would not be good if the other party got carried away and attacked the city hall.

"Regarding the military magician's encirclement and suppression..."

The hunter assistant smiled bitterly.

"Sir, you may not know that the neighboring city has been invaded by the Sea Monster Monarch recently. Most of the forces in the surrounding cities have been mobilized to resist the monsters. The military mages are seriously insufficient. The 500-man regiment of the military and three military commanders tried to encircle and suppress the White Sand Dragon Ming Turtle, but they were unable to cause effective damage to the White Sand Dragon Ming Turtle. Therefore, they can only choose to ask the hunter mages for help."

At this time, the Hunter Assistant asked hopefully:
"I wonder if this gentleman is interested in joining the hunting team. As long as you successfully kill or expel the White Sand Dragon Singing Turtle, each high-level wizard who participates in the operation can receive a bounty of 10 million. And if you can successfully kill the White Sand Dragon Singing Turtle, its body will be distributed among the hunters."

That being said, the hunter's assistant didn't hold out much hope of killing the white sand turtle.

He has been in this business for quite some time, and knows more about the South China Sea demon race than even some high-level hunters.

The reason why the White Sand Dragon Turtle earned the nickname "Ship Crusher" is closely related to its thick and solid shell. Thanks to the defense provided by its shell, the White Sand Dragon Turtle dares to run rampant near the South China Sea.

That hard shell was so hard that an ordinary commander-level demon could only carve a few scratches on it even if he worked himself to death. The monarch demon was too lazy to eat such a tooth-gritting and unpalatable demon.

Even if the White Sand Dragon Singing Turtle did not make any defense and just retracted its body into its shell, a team of ten high-level mages would not be able to cause much damage to the White Sand Dragon Singing Turtle even if they bombarded it continuously until their magic energy was exhausted.

...Two days later, early in the morning, when Li Yu arrived at the hall, there were already several figures waiting on the sofa in the hall. At first, several people just glanced at Li Yu and no one took it seriously.

As Li Yu approached, a sturdy man with a scar on his face finally reminded him in a muffled voice,
"Boy, you've come to the wrong building. This is a place that only elite hunters are qualified to enter. If you want to join in the fun, it's much more fun downstairs, and the atmosphere is also lively."

Li Yu did not speak, but showed his hunter badge.

"I think this should qualify."

"Hunter...Hunter Master!"

The scarred man who spoke earlier blinked hard, wondering if it was his illusion, but the reactions of several other hunters proved that his eyesight was excellent.

Hunter Masters were not too rare. High-level mages who dared to take on the task were basically Hunter Masters. However, Li Yu was a little young. The average age of this group of Hunter Masters was around 40 years old. A young man of 30 years old...

Genius! Alive!
"Are you also here to participate in the operation to kill the White Sand Dragon Turtle?"

"Yes."

"Okay, we are just one person short. Once you come, we will be complete for this operation."

"Let's exchange some basic information about ourselves now, so that it will be convenient for us to cooperate when the time comes."

"and many more."

Li Yu suddenly interrupted:
"Are all the people here now?"

"Everyone is here. Any problem?" Scarface asked strangely.

Li Yu counted them, there were only one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight people in total. Was it a bit unrealistic for eight high-level mages to want to kill the White Sand Dragon Turtle? Could it be that they were all soul species per capita?

"Can eight people kill the White Sand Dragon Ming Turtle?" Li Yu asked his question.

Then the other party gave him a weird look.
"Who said we were going to kill the White Sand Turtle?"

"Boy, you are inexperienced. Our commission only requires the expulsion of the White Sand Dragon Turtle. Killing it is an optional task."

"As long as the White Sand Dragon Turtle feels the pain, it will leave on its own. And if it is determined to escape, even if the number of high-level mages doubles, they will not be able to stop it."

In the South China Sea hunter circle, the White Sand Dragon Singing Turtle is notoriously difficult to kill. All of this turtle's talents are focused on defense. The defense of a small commander is comparable to that of a commander-in-chief who is about to advance to the monarch level.

If that were the case, we could still use high-level poison, mind, curse and other mages to cause effective damage to it. Although these mages are rare, they are not impossible to find.

Unfortunately, the White Sand Dragon Turtle had extremely strong vitality. It was a real meat tank with high defense and thick blood. Before the high-level mage who launched the attack could seriously injure the White Sand Dragon Turtle, his own magic power was exhausted first.

If it weren't for its incredibly slow movements and attack power being only slightly stronger than that of a great general, this guy would have long been known as more than just a nickname of "Ship Crusher".

Although what Scarface said made sense, the extremely resistant White Sand Dragon Turtle was indeed difficult to deal with for ordinary mages, but Li Yu did not want to give up such a good raw material.

"The White Sand Turtle shouldn't have the ability to isolate itself from the outside world, right?"
