2233 Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle! But Hu Quan knew that since Lin Yuan had said that, it had to be right. Since there was no need to build a base on the marsh world’s loose ground, there was no longer any need to discuss the current design. As a Spirit Craftsman, Hu Quan was very enthusiastic when it came to drawing up designs. Lin Yuan’s eyes had been fixed on the turtle-species dimensional lifeform in Rising Lizard’s mouth. Although the turtle-species dimensional lifeform was only Class 1, it definitely had the talent to become an Apostle. Lin Yuan was even willing to provide resources to nurture it into a Dictator. [Alien Beast Name]: Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle [Lifeform State]: Dimensional lifeform [Alien Beast Class]: Class 1 Natural Skill: [Mutated Shell]: Every time the effects of a special earth element are absorbed, the shell will take control of the effects and absorb them to expand the size of the shell. This will make the body stronger. Lin Yuan had been developing in the marsh world for more than six months. During this time, he had gained a deep understanding of the lifeforms in the marsh world. After Lin Yuan sent the Spirit Craftsmen into the marsh world to begin building the territory, he had asked Hu Quan to gather a few Fey Observers who could draw up a record of the discovered marsh dimensional lifeforms. Lin Yuan had arranged for Feng Shuang, a Class 4 Creation Master, to lead the team of Fey Observers. The records of the lifeforms in the marsh world had already filled up eight thick books. This was the precious knowledge that Lin Yuan had collected in his explorations of the marsh world. If the books were given to any faction trying to explore the marsh world, they would help them avoid many potholes. There were a total of two turtle-species dimensional lifeforms in the records. One was the Marsh Soil Scary Turtle, while the other was the Rock Plank Pavilion Turtle. The Marsh Soil Scary Turtle searched for marsh soil continuously and stored ιτ in its stomach. This was so they could digest the marsh soil to increase their power. The marsh soil was also used to attract females. The Marsh Soil Scary Turtle did not have a yearly breeding period like other turtle-species dimensional lifeforms did. When the Marsh Soil Scary Turtles went into breeding frenzies, they were always in the midst of combat. This unique way of attracting mates meant that the Marsh Soil Scary Turtles that could not produce high-grade marsh soil would not be able to pass on their bloodlines. If the Marsh Soil Scary Turtle could not find high-grade marsh soil to attract females within five years, it might even become a struggle to obtain low-grade marsh soil that was used to maintain its survival. From the appearance of the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle in Rising Lizard’s mouth, Lin Yuan could be sure that the Rock Plank Pavilion Turtle was the victim. Lin Yuan had a deeper impression of the Rock Plank Pavilion Turtle than the Marsh Soil Scary Turtle. The Rock Plank Pavilion Turtle absorbed earth-elemental energy while it was growing. The earth-elemental energy would be compressed and applied to its shell. There appeared to be a pavilion on the Rock Plank Pavilion Turtle’s back. In actuality, it was a rock pile that had stacked up over time. The Rock Plank Pavilion Turtle did not have any combat abilities, and its only means of defense was its shell. It consumed nutritious marsh soil that contained organic matter from decayed lifeforms. It truly had no bone to pick with anything in the world. The Rock Plank Pavilion Turtle was a large turtle-species dimensional lifeform but could retreat its head, four limbs, and tail into its shell just like smaller turtle-species dimensional lifeforms could. This saved the Rock Plank Pavilion Turtle from extinction in the marsh world. With this thought, Lin Yuan cursed to himself. It was difficult to tell if the Rock Plank Pavilion Turtle had been willing to participate in the copulation that resulted in the birth of the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle. If the Rock Plank Pavilion Turtle retreated its head, tail, and limbs into its shell, there was no way the Marsh Soil Scary Turtle could have forced it. Since the Rock Plank Pavilion Turtle could absorb earth-elemental energy to create rocks, Lin Yuan had considered nurturing one so he could stand on one while it was in the water. Because of the special abilities of Klein Hub, Lin Yuan could not move its position easily. This was why he had thought long and hard before deciding where the base would be built. Even the places in the marsh world where mud gathered were actually just floating on the seemingly endless marsh. If something could prop up the territory from underneath, Klein Hub would be unaffected, and the territory would also become mobile. For this, Lin Yuan had intentionally nurtured 10 of the Rock Plank Pavilion Turtles. But while he was nurturing them, Lin Yuan realized that they only grew to 20 meters wide at most. There was no way they would be able to hold up the entire territory. As such, Lin Yuan gave up on that idea. But now, the appearance of the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle allowed Lin Yuan to see new possibilities. With the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle’s Mutated Shell skill, every special earth-elemental effect it absorbed would expand its shell and strengthen it. Lin Yuan might be troubled to find sufficient earth elements with special effects before entering the marsh world. But now that he was in the marsh world, each type of strange low-grade marsh soil contained a different earth-elemental effect. Lin Yuan had already collected more than thousands of types of low-grade marsh soil without even asking the Medusa Snake Demons to search for them. Lin Yuan only had a few tens of the Medusa Snake Demons under him. Only half of them went out at a time to gather marsh soil and dimensional lifeforms that would be useful for the territory’s development. Furthermore, it was almost time for the Banquet of Everything, where Lin Yuan could trade the Storing Ability White Peaches and Deposit Ability Litchi Branches to any Apostle in attendance for the marsh soil, which were considered common goods. Lin Yuan felt that with the craving that Apostles had for source-type power, there should be none who would turn him down. As such, it would not be difficult for Lin Yuan to enable the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle to grow larger. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚 As for the earth-elemental energy that the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle would need after obtaining the earth-elemental effects, Lin Yuan had more than enough of it. With just this natural skill, the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle had already met Lin Yuan’s expectations. Once it became an Apostle, it would gain another natural skill that might even boost its current one or bring Lin Yuan a new surprise.
