Chapter 1181 The Old Man’s Perseverance
"What are you waiting for?"
The old man interrupted the man impatiently, keeping an eye on the movements of the divine turtle.
"But-"
The person who spoke had a wry smile on his face, looking at the old man with a strange and slightly sympathetic look, "We didn't see the divine turtle you mentioned."
"How can we catch this?"
"Yes."
"We didn't see any turtles."
"How can we catch something that has no shadow?"
……
The man's words resonated with everyone.
They all started complaining.
If this were not the case, they would also like to help Uncle Li.
Besides, who can resist money?
……
The old man was stunned.
He may not believe what a person says and may even think that the other person is making a joke of him.
However, he looked around at the people on the surrounding boats, and they all said so...
Why doesn't he believe it?!
but……
The old man turned and looked out to sea.
The huge black shadow swam slowly forward.
He didn't seem to be aware of being surrounded at all, and didn't show any panic at all.
The red head stands out like a ball of red flame under the clearer and shallower sea surface under the sunlight.
Yeah, it's so obvious
how come.
The old man's veins bulged on the back of his hands as he gripped the side of the boat, revealing a bit of uneasiness.
impossible.
".You really didn't see it?"
He asked unwillingly.
This time, his eyes were fixed on a person on the boat in front of him.
He knows this man.
He once advised him to give up the search for the divine turtle, thinking that he was just wasting time.
He was furious at the time and asked bluntly if this person wanted him dead? !
He remembered the man's ugly face when he heard what he said.
And then there was a sigh.
he knows.
This person means well.
This can also be seen from the fact that he was still willing to help him find the divine turtle.
No matter how much of it was for the reward he promised.
However, finding the sacred turtle has become the old man's obsession.
He couldn't give up.
He just wanted to survive.
The old man subconsciously developed a strong resistance towards all those who advised him to give up, thinking that they were doing it for his own good.
He reflexively raised his whole body to defense.
Even speaking bad words.
No one can stop him from living!
"No."
Seeing that man shook his head without hesitation, the old man's eyes flickered.
Then the other people around him echoed that man, making the old man's face even gloomier.
He couldn't help but shook his head.
How could it be possible?
He doesn't believe it!
The divine turtle is clearly there!
Looking at the divine turtle that had already swam some distance away, the old man's heart tightened and he no longer hesitated.
"I'll catch it myself!"
"Plop~"
"Uncle Li!"
Everyone was horrified and rushed to the side of the boat.
"Oh no! Uncle Li jumped into the sea!"
"Quick, bring him up!"
"Plop~"
Several more people jumped into the sea and swam towards the old man at a very fast speed.
They were not worried about the old man flooding. They lived by the sea and were good at swimming.
Swimming is their specialty.
However, it is not summer now and the water temperature is pleasant.
In the cold winter, the old man jumped into the sea without any preparation.
How can my already poor health bear it?
Time has been delayed for too long, so why bother looking for the divine turtle?
Maybe the old man won’t be able to survive if he goes back.
After all, he was in his prime, and several men quickly caught up with the old man.
They reached out to grab the old man and bring him back to the boat. Their faces were burnt and they couldn't help complaining, "Uncle Li, what are you doing? Don't you care about your health at all?"
"Don't you want to live? It's so cold, why do you just jump into the sea?"
"Okay, let's talk about this later."
Someone stopped the others from chattering and grabbed the old man's arm, "Uncle Li, let's get back to the boat."
Unexpectedly, "I won't reply."
The old man shook off the hand on his arm, his lips trembling slightly, perhaps because of the cold or because of his excitement, "Get out of the way!"
"I'm going to catch the turtle!"
The old man waved his hands wildly, and the people around him had to make way for fear of hurting him.
The old man swam out of the gap in the "encirclement".
When he looked up, his expression suddenly froze and his heart began to beat wildly.
The turtle is missing?!
He looked around anxiously.
The old man's look of despair inexplicably made those who wanted to stop him stop their half-extended hands and swallow the words of dissuasion that were about to come out.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Divine turtle, divine turtle"
The old man kept muttering to himself.
There was a look of realization on everyone's faces.
Is this the Divine Turtle that has disappeared again?
"Uncle Li, since the tortoise is gone, let's go back to the boat."
Someone advised.
Fortunately, the sun came out today and the sea was still somewhat warm.
However, after soaking for a long time, even people of his age felt their limbs become a little stiff, let alone the elderly?
"Yes, go back and make preparations. We will help you dive into the sea to find it."
Seeing that the old man showed no reaction, someone said bluntly, "If you keep going like this, I'm afraid your body won't last long enough to find the sacred tortoise."
"Uncle Li, you are looking for the tortoise to cure your illness and prolong your life. Don't put the cart before the horse. You didn't find the tortoise, but ended up ruining your body."
But the old man didn't listen to them at all.
After so many days of searching, I finally found my target today!
How could he be willing to give up like this?
next time?
Who knows when we will find the next turtle?
What's more, turtles are cold-blooded animals and need to hibernate.
He didn't know why it was still outside now?
However, since it is a divine turtle, there is nothing surprising about the fact that it is more cold-resistant than ordinary turtles.
However, just because it does not hibernate now does not mean it will not hibernate later.
What if it hibernates later? What should he do?
It’s so hard to find now. If the divine turtle really hibernates in one place, how can he find it?
Moreover, he doesn't have enough time to wait for the next discovery of the divine turtle.
His body was cold, but not as cold as his heart.
He had a feeling that today was his last chance.
If he missed this day, his fate with the divine turtle would be over.
How is this possible? !
It definitely gave him hope.
Was God just playing a bad joke on him?
He doesn't believe it!
The old man stretched out his hand and hit the sea surface hard.
The water splashed everywhere, blurring his vision.
Suddenly, the old man's eyes widened. Before he could even think about anything, his body had already taken action.
"Gulu~"
The old man plunged headfirst into the sea.
"Uncle Li!"
The people around screamed and dived into the sea.
"Oh my god, is Mr. Li trying to kill himself?!"
"I saw his lips were all frozen purple, and he actually dived into the sea again!"
"That's crazy!"
"What's the water temperature now?!"
