Suddenly, a violent tremor spread through the water. Feeling this power, Philip’s heart skipped a beat. All the merpeople were shocked. Although Philip had no idea what happened, he noticed a huge water column soaring in the distance. The water quickly became cloudy. It seemed that something was about to emerge from the bottom. The princess noticed something strange behind her too. She turned around, and the blue ball of light in her hand flew toward the muddy area. As the blue ball of light exploded, strong water fluctuations rippled through the underwater world. The ball of water elemental energy condensed and rotated, forming a huge vortex. The vortex cleared away the turbid waters. Philip realized that the thing that emerged from the ground was actually a gigantic turtle. The turtle shell was full of barbs, which were black but full of different colors at the tips. Obviously, those things were poisonous. Philip saw the big turtle opening its jaws and rolling its tongue toward the princess. At the critical moment, Philip formed a gush of water current with his water element and grabbed the princess over to him.
The princess jumped right into Philip’s arms. “Princess, please excuse me. I’m trying to save you from danger,” Philip whispered in the princess’ ear. He let go of the princess, held the Caelum Sword, and rushed toward the big turtle. The turtle’s eyes were like two bright lights flashing red, staring closely at Philip as if seeing him as its target. As Philip approached, it suddenly raised one leg and stomped on the ground. A gush of water rushed toward him. Philip could not get out of the way in time. He might be relatively strong compared with the star talent practitioners on land, but facing a sea monster underwater, there was no comparison at all. In desperation, Philip could only use the Caelum Sword as a shield. Buzz! A buzzing sound spread through the water. Some toxins glowed on the Caelum Sword. However, it quickly melted into the water again. At this time, Philip suddenly remembered something, which was the black turtle shell he had with him.”
