Online Game: Low Drop Rate? I Have a Guaranteed Drop System!-Chapter 168: The River Flows, Pluto’s Avatar

"What?" Johnnie’s expression was shocked when he heard Maiev’s words.

This small island was actually the main body of the Black Tortoise!

He had seen the main body of the Azure Dragon, which was a vast mountain range, already large enough.

But the Black Tortoise’s size was even bigger, a island hundreds of kilometers in size.

"Is Pluto’s avatar here?" Johnnie asked in his mind.

"It’s not. I don’t sense Pluto’s presence." Maiev’s voice came back.

Not here?

Johnnie was confused. He was sure Pluto’s avatar was in the Black Tortoise ruins, otherwise there wouldn’t have been so many Wraith Soldiers.

Also, the Celestial Obscurity Heavy Water was polluted by Pluto’s Death Power.

But this was the Black Tortoise’s main body, so wasn’t Pluto’s avatar here to fight the Black Tortoise?

Or was there something else of value here?

Johnnie glanced at the current quest prompt, ignored it, and turned to the Abyssal Turtle and asked."What other treasures are there in this Black Tortoise ruins?"

The Abyssal Turtle was cautious and shook his head, saying."None. The rewards I gave you are the rarest items this ruins can offer."

Johnnie snorted at his words. He clearly didn’t believe it, at least not the Black Tortoise pill had appeared.

But to get the extra reward of the Black Tortoise pill, you had to make a special contribution.

It was probably defeating Pluto’s avatar.

But he had no idea where Pluto’s avatar was now, and this old guy was determined to get him out.

Seeing that Johnnie hadn’t accepted the quest, the Abyssal Turtle spoke in an unfriendly tone."Adventurer, take your reward and leave. We, the Black Tortoise Race, don’t want to be your enemy."

"You want to be my enemy?" Johnnie sneered."Don’t get too full of yourself. You couldn’t even beat the Wraith Soldiers. If it wasn’t for me, you’d all be dead."

The Abyssal Turtle frowned and said."That’s true. But if you don’t leave, even if we die, we’ll fight you!"

With that, the people around him stepped forward, ready to attack.

"Stubborn fool. I’m going to see the Black Tortoise today." Johnnie said, not wanting to waste time on them. He mentally activated the Canvas of Illusions, which enveloped everyone here.

Maiev couldn’t manifest in the ruins, but the Canvas of Illusions could still be used.

Whoosh...

A strong pulling force came, and the Abyssal Turtle was the first to be pulled into the canvas, unable to control himself.

"Human, what are you doing?" he panicked, but he couldn’t resist. He was instantly swallowed by the painting.

Then came the others. All the Black Tortoise people on the island, over ten thousand in total, were all taken into the Canvas of Illusions.

Johnnie didn’t worry about their safety. The illusion of the Fantasy Realm could trap them, but it had no killing power.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. He looked around, but didn’t know where to start.

The entire island was the body of the Black Tortoise, and like the Azure Dragon, it was severely injured and in a deep sleep.

Johnnie didn’t know how to wake it up, so he continued to ask Maiev in his mind."Maiev, do you know how to awaken the Black Tortoise?"

Maiev’s voice came through."Master, the Black Tortoise’s Divine Soul is injured. It has fallen into a deep sleep, and awakening it will be very difficult."

Divine Soul injured?

Johnnie was surprised. The Black Tortoise’s injury was worse than he had imagined.

The most powerful and special part of a divine being was the Divine Soul. If the Divine Soul was destroyed, the god would be completely destroyed.

The Black Tortoise’s Divine Soul was injured, which clearly meant it had been wounded at its very core. And it couldn’t be awakened easily.

Johnnie wasn’t ready to give up. He was determined to get the special reward from the Black Tortoise ruins.

He asked in his mind."Maiev, can you heal the Black Tortoise?"

"It’s possible, but I have to manifest, or the Black Tortoise has to enter the Canvas of Illusions." Maiev said, clearly troubled.

The ruins were too special for her to manifest.

And even though the Black Tortoise was in a deep sleep, it still had divine protection. The Canvas of Illusions couldn’t take it in.

Johnnie seemed to be stuck in another dead end.

Perhaps the Abyssal Turtle knew something, but looking at that old guy’s attitude, he wouldn’t give in.

Johnnie decided to try his luck on this small island, seeing if he could find a way to awaken the Black Tortoise.

He summoned his Void Sword, flew with the Controlled Sword, and wandered aimlessly around the small island, searching for any suspicious or special places.

For two straight days, he searched almost the entire island, even diving underwater. He found nothing unusual or suspicious.

It seemed the Black Tortoise wasn’t just asleep—it had already died, and there was no way to wake it up.

What’s more, Pluto’s avatar and the Wraith Soldiers hadn’t shown up again.

Johnnie came to the edge of the island and sat on a rock, staring at the black river in thought.

Two days had passed with no progress. He had considered leaving the island to explore, but this space was too vast, and he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to find the island again.

He couldn’t waste any more time. He had to ask the Abyssal Turtle if he knew how to awaken the Black Tortoise.

He was going to heal the Black Tortoise, and the Abyssal Turtle shouldn’t refuse.

Whoosh!

Johnnie was about to open the Canvas of Illusions and release the Abyssal Turtle when the water suddenly stirred, as if it was boiling.

"Ah, the Black Tortoise is awakening?" He watched the island rising quickly, his heart filled with excitement.

"No!" He suddenly realized, it wasn’t the island rising—it was the river rapidly dropping.

What was going on?

Johnnie was confused. It felt as if there was a huge hole underwater, rapidly sucking in the river, and the water level was dropping quickly.

He stepped back and quickly opened the Canvas of Illusions, releasing the Abyssal Turtle.

Whirrr!

A surge of spatial energy, and the Abyssal Turtle appeared.

He looked confused, and when he saw Johnnie, his anger flared up."Human, I don’t want to be your enemy. You dared to hurt..."

His voice cut off. He noticed the river, which was boiling and flowing away rapidly. His face turned pale with fear, and he glared at Johnnie."Human, what did you do?"

Johnnie shook his head innocently."I didn’t do anything. The river dropped suddenly. I just wanted to ask you if you know why."

"No good. Someone is trying to destroy the Black Tortoise’s great formation!" The Abyssal Turtle’s face was full of panic, his expression terrified.

Johnnie asked."What is the Black Tortoise’s great formation?"

The Abyssal Turtle looked at him, hesitated, but finally explained."The Black Tortoise’s Divine Soul is injured, and it’s on the verge of death. It must rely on the Black Tortoise’s great formation to continuously replenish its strength, or there will be danger. Adventurer, someone wants to destroy the Black Tortoise’s great formation. Can you help me protect it?"

[Ding, You have triggered a special hidden quest: Protect the Black Tortoise Formation. Reward is unknown. Accept?]

The prompt appeared, and Johnnie didn’t hesitate to choose "Accept."

This had to be the extra reward from the Black Tortoise ruins.

He asked."Where is the Black Tortoise Formation?"

"In the water." the Abyssal Turtle said, pointing at the surface. At that moment, the river had receded tens of meters away and was still rapidly disappearing.

Johnnie, seeing he wasn’t speaking, pressed."Where in the water?"

The Abyssal Turtle explained."The entire surface. The Celestial Obscurity Heavy Water is the core of the Black Tortoise Formation. If the Celestial Obscurity Heavy Water disappears, the formation will stop working, and the Black Tortoise will be in danger."

"The entire surface?" Johnnie was shocked. He didn’t ask further. Behind him, his Demon Wing appeared, lightly flapped, and flew just above the water, searching for the source of the Celestial Obscurity Heavy Water being consumed, moving at high speed.

The river flowed away rapidly, even faster than his flying speed.

The real bottom of the river revealed itself. It was a massive, abandoned city.

Johnnie could vaguely see the plaque on the city.

Black Tortoise City!

This abandoned city under the water was actually the Black Tortoise City.

The Black Tortoise’s injuries must be far worse than he had imagined, otherwise the city wouldn’t have been abandoned.

The river quickly receded, and Johnnie finally locked onto the source of the river being consumed.

There, an endless army of the undead appeared.

It was these guys causing the problem.

And right in front of them was a massive creature with a human body and a snake tail.

Pluto clone!

He was holding a pale blue gourd in his hand. This endless river of water was being devoured by this gourd.

This was definitely a treasure!

"Johnnie, we meet again!" the Pluto clone coldly said, staring at Johnnie with a hostile expression.

Then, he raised his hand, and the endless army of the undead vanished.

He knew Johnnie’s methods and wouldn’t give him the chance to stack the Great Transformation Sword Technique passive.

Maiev couldn’t manifest in the Black Tortoise ruins, and although his strength had increased, he still had a hard time facing the Pluto clone head-on.

But the Pluto clone didn’t attack him immediately. He said coldly."Johnnie, I don’t want to fight you, but you also shouldn’t stop what I’m doing. How about that?"

"You want to kill the Black Tortoise?" Johnnie guessed his intention.

The Pluto clone didn’t deny it. He said calmly."Yes. And you don’t have the ability to stop me. I advise you to stay out of it."

"Hmph, I’ll still try." Johnnie sneered, and without hesitation, launched eight flying swords toward the Pluto clone.

"Stubborn fool!" He looked down, didn’t dodge, and didn’t move.

-6626

-6622

...

The flying swords hit, and a few damage numbers flashed.

The Pluto clone also had divine protection, and Johnnie’s attack only caused 1% Fire-Element law and 1% Dark Law of true damage.

Such damage was nothing to the Pluto clone.

"Since you want to die, I’ll grant you that wish!" He didn’t waste words, and immediately launched a powerful surge of Death Power, which instantly engulfed Johnnie.

[Ding, You have been Instant Killed by the Pluto clone. Special Law Protection. You are revived at the same spot.]

The prompt flashed, and Johnnie was revived right where he was.

"Hmm, interesting. I wonder how many times you can revive." the Pluto clone said, surprised to see him revive. He raised his hand, and a Death Power arrow formed, quickly shooting toward Johnnie.

-2319930

Johnnie’s head showed the damage number, and he was instantly killed again, then revived at the same spot.

"Damn it!" He cursed, and immediately unleashed The Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords and fire magic, attacking the Pluto clone relentlessly.

But he still only dealt a few thousand points of true damage.

The Pluto clone was at stage 9, top legendary level, with health points close to two billion. This amount of damage was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
