After I transmigrated into the book, both the female lead and I became fragrant

Chapter 36

Shen Qiqi held the coconut in her hands, which looked heavy and large enough to last for a long time. She lifted her face, her eyes shining with anticipation, and asked, "How did Senior sister know that I wanted to eat this?"

Liu Shuang paused for a moment and said, "I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Zhao Ke quickly interrupted them, "Junior sisters, let's talk about the coconut later! The spirit beast is about to catch up!"

Turning their heads, they saw the Mirage Turtle approaching at a fast pace, leaving behind a huge footprint that was at least as big as a truck. Just by looking at its thick foot, the three of them were afraid that they couldn't withstand a single step from it.

Shen Qiqi immediately put the coconut into her Qiankun(storage) bag and ran away, complaining, "It's not fair that it has both strength and speed!"

Liu Shuang said, "Although the Mirage Turtle has tough skin and immense strength, its body also carries highly toxic lake water. However, although it is swift, it also has fatal weaknesses."

Zhao Ke exclaimed, "Is this spirit beast the Mirage Turtle described in the Beast Compendium? May I know its weaknesses?"

The Beast Compendium was the textbook used in the Beast Taming course, wasn't it?

Shen Qiqi scratched her head in confusion, "Why have I never heard of this turtle before?"

Liu Shuang gave her a glance and said, "Because you're usually distracted during early morning classes."

Shen Qiqi couldn't help but bow her head deeply, feeling ashamed and avoiding her gaze. Ever since the awakening of the old man of the Heavenly Dao within her body, she had been absorbing spiritual energy constantly, and her cultivation had indeed risen very quickly. She could learn many spells just by reading books without a teacher, so she gradually lost interest in listening to the ramblings of the old Taoists. Usually, Liu Shuang would be the one paying attention in class while she daydreamed, or Liu Shuang would cover for her while she slept.

For this type of theoretical knowledge, she usually didn't bother to remember it even after just taking a glance...she would only regret it when she needed it later!

Liu Shuang couldn't help but rub her head, which was hanging down, and whispered, "The Mirage Turtle is afraid of fire."

Zhao Ke said, "That's easy!"

He quickly cast a fire spell and tentatively sent it towards the Mirage Turtle. The sparks, as thick as two arms, went through the air with a whoosh. The blazing flames were like a whirlwind, sweeping everything in its path and reducing it to ashes.

The sparks came fiercely towards the Mirage Turtle, but when compared to the turtle's massive size, they appeared tiny, like a small flame. As expected, the Mirage Turtle opened its massive mouth and swallowed the flame in one gulp, then burped contentedly.

Shen Qiqi said, "It seems like it didn't do anything!"

Liu Shuang said, "Don't worry, just watch."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Mirage Turtle let out a piercing scream, causing Shen Qiqi to shiver in fear. She looked closely and saw that the Mirage Turtle, after swallowing the flame, patted its belly in satisfaction. Suddenly, its wrinkled face turned purple, and it raised its head to howl like an air raid siren, which reverberated through the wasteland and echoed without end.

After the howl, the Mirage Turtle looked like it was running around like a headless chicken, with sand and water from the oasis falling off its body. It seemed to be in great pain.
