"Why are we stopping?" Li Jun asked as he joined the three Poison Grotto disciples. He eyed the turtle and felt that its spiritual energy was equivalent to someone at the sixth stage of body refining.
"It's an armored snapping turtle. We're not getting past that thing unless it lets us." Zi Ya said with a frown. She had clearly seen them before, probably even fought them. Li Jun wanted to listen to her advice and not undermine her authority as the leader, but it was just a turtle.
They stood for a moment and watched as the turtle patiently waited with its mouth underwater. It didn't appear to be drinking, and it remained as still as a statue, its focus completely locked on the river.
