　　Ye Qiu’s expression was strange. He didn’t expect that this fiery red figure would actually be a turtle.
　　This turtle was different from ordinary turtles.
　　Its body was as big as a bathtub, and it was completely red, like a flame. Especially the tortoise shell on its back was covered with veins, crisscrossing, adding a bit of mystery to it.
　　Fire Tortoise！
　　Ye Qiu recognized the origin of this tortoise at a glance, and shock appeared on his face.
　　Fire Tortoises were already rare, and a Fire Tortoise as big as this was even rarer.
　　”This Fire Tortoise has lived for at least a hundred years！”
　　Just as Ye Qiu thought of this, he saw the two eyes of the Fire Tortoise staring at the red fruit in his hand, with fierce light revealed.
　　”Ao wu——”
　　The Fire Tortoise let out a sharp whistle at Ye Qiu.
　　Ye Qiu could see that this Fire Tortoise was very angry, and the reason for its anger was the red fruit in his hand.
　　”It seems that it has been staring at this fruit for a long time. Unfortunately, I got here first.”
　　Ye Qiu didn’t want to cause extra complications and was ready to leave here.
　　He had long seen that this Fire Tortoise was extremely extraordinary.
　　Who knew that as soon as he moved his footsteps, the Fire Tortoise let out a loud “ao wu” sound from its mouth and then pounced over.
　　As everyone knew, the speed of a tortoise was very slow, but this Fire Tortoise was an exception, and its speed was faster than lightning.
　　In an instant, it pounced in front of Ye Qiu.
　　“I didn’t want to pay attention to you. Since you’re determined to court death, then don’t blame me.” Ye Qiu punched out.
　　“Dang！”
The fist smashed on the fire turtle’s claw, as if smashing on a steel plate, making a metallic strike sound.
　　Ye Qiu only felt an extremely huge force coming from the fire turtle’s claw, like a mountain and a sea, shaking him back involuntarily.
　　Ceng　ceng　ceng！
　　Ye Qiu took three steps back in a row before he could stabilize his body, and there was a surge of qi and blood in his chest.
　　The strength of this fire turtle is no weaker than that of a super warrior at all.
　　Ye Qiu was very shocked.
　　“I didn’t expect that your strength is so great. I really underestimated you.” Ye Qiu said.
　　“Ao wu——”
　　The fire turtle let out another angry roar, as if saying to Ye Qiu, if you don’t give me that red fruit, I will kill you.
　　“Damn it, it’s just a beast, and it’s actually roaring at me. I think you’re really tired of living.”
　　Ye Qiu was furious and waved his fist again.
　　“Dang　dang　dang！”
　　Ye Qiu punched three times in a row, all hitting the back of the fire turtle.
Every time a fist fell, there would be a metallic impact sound.
　　The fire turtle was safe and sound. Moreover, it stretched its neck very long and shook it at Ye Qiu, as if to say, with just this little strength, are you scratching my itch for me？
　　Ye Qiu’s palm clasped a golden needle, and then he poured his internal energy into the golden needle and flicked it with his bent finger.
　　“Whoosh！”
　　The golden needle let out a whistling sound and shot towards the fire turtle’s eye.
　　The next second, a terrifying scene appeared.
I saw the fire turtle twist its neck, bite the golden needle in its mouth, and then, with its flat mouth wide open, a burst of sound rang out. It regarded the golden needle as food and ate it with relish.
　　Ye Qiu was both shocked and distressed.
　　He was shocked that this beast had such good teeth that it could chew up something as hard as a golden needle. He was distressed because this was an ancestral golden needle given to him by Doctor Sun, and now one was lost like this, which was really a pity.
　　“Roar——”
　　The fire turtle let out a roar from its mouth again.
　　“I really hate it when others chirp at me, especially animals.” After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he clenched his fist again.
　　However, at this moment, the fire turtle suddenly opened its mouth and spat out red flames from its mouth.
　　Ye Qiu retreated at high speed.
　　The flame landed on the place where he had just stood. Instantly, a “hissing” sound came from the ground. In the blink of an eye, a fist-sized hole appeared on the bluestone slab, accompanied by wisps of white smoke.
　　Ye Qiu’s expression became solemn.
　　He could see that the flame spit out by the fire turtle contained a strange poison.
　　“Such strong corrosiveness, even more powerful than sulfuric acid. Fortunately, I retreated fast enough. If I were to be touched by a little bit, there would also be a big hole in my body.”
　　“It seems that I can’t show mercy anymore.”
　　“I have to solve this beast as soon as possible.”
　　Ye Qiu no longer hesitated and concentrated all his strength on his fist. Then, he leaped into the air.
　　“Bang！”
Ye Qiu hit the turtle shell hard with a punch.
　　This punch weighed more than a thousand catties.
　　“Crack！”
　　A　crisp　sound.
　　A crack appeared on the turtle shell.
　　But, it was just a crack and did not seriously injure the fire turtle. Instead, it angered it.
　　The fire turtle let out a howl, jumped up and pounced on Ye Qiu. At the same time, it raised its head high and spit out red flames from its mouth again.
　　Ye Qiu was in the air. When he saw the flame spraying towards him, he immediately did a backflip and returned to the original place.
　　But, he didn’t stop. His toes tapped again, and with lightning speed, he punched the fire turtle’s neck with a thunderbolt-like fist.
　　“Ya——” The fire turtle let out a shrill cry, and its body immediately flew backwards.
　　Taking this opportunity, Ye Qiu rushed forward.
　　“Peng！”
　　A punch landed on the fire turtle’s abdomen.
　　“Pu！”
　　Blood　splashed　out.
　　“Chi　chi　chi……”
After being severely injured, the fire turtle let out its flat mouth opened wide. Youdaoplaceholder0 a mouthful of Sen’s sharp teeth, and it sprayed flames furiously from its mouth.
Ye Qiu had been on guard for a long time. He quickly avoided the flames, and then followed with two more punches. hitting the fire turtle’s abdomen.
　　“Peng！”
　　“Peng！”
　　After his two punches landed, not only did a bloody hole appear in the fire turtle’s abdomen, with blood spurting out, but also from its mouth, it kept vomiting blood.
　　Then it struggled a few times and completely lost its movement.
　　Dead！
Ye Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. At this time, a “cooing” sound came from his stomach, and he felt extremely hungry.
　　“This fire turtle appeared really in time. Just when I’m hungry, I can use you to fill my stomach.”
　　Ye Qiu roughly tore off two turtle legs and stuffed them directly into his mouth.
　　At this time, he didn’t care if there were bacteria on this beast. First, he had to fill his stomach.
　　After eating a few mouthfuls, Ye Qiu felt a hot current rising from his dantian.
　　“Huh, the meat of this beast can also increase my skill？”
　　Ye Qiu was overjoyed. He quickly finished eating the two turtle legs. Then, he tore off the other two legs of the fire turtle and gobbled them up.
　　After Ye Qiu was full, he sat cross-legged and began to meditate.
　　This sitting lasted for a full four hours.
　　During this period, the bones on his body continuously made a “click click” sound.
　　When Ye Qiu opened his eyes again, he was full of energy.
　　“I didn’t expect that this time I would turn bad luck into good fortune. A beast actually helped me successfully cultivate the second rotation of the Nine-Turn Dragon God Art, the Bone Tempering Realm. Unfortunately, the remaining turtle meat can’t be taken away.”
　　“It’s not suitable to stay here for a long time. It’s better to leave earlier.”
　　Ye Qiu put the red fruit into his pocket and then continued to move forward.
　　He didn’t walk for long when another stone door appeared in front of him.
　　There were sixteen words engraved on the stone door：
　　Take one step forward, and you will die and your Tao will disappear; take one step back, and there is still a way to live.
