Before he could even react, the cultivator had been knocked over by the jets of pitch-black water and fallen into the Night Sea.
For a brief second, he struggled to stay afloat before vanishing into the depths of the Night Sea without a trace.
“What an idiot. How dare he insult the divine turtles by calling them animals? He might as well wish death upon himself.”
“These divine turtles have long developed higher-order thinking. Did he think that they couldn't understand our language just because they have not taken the form of a human being?”
Not a hint of grief could be found among the crowd as they spectated the sudden, brutal death of the cultivator. Instead, they were all sneering gleefully.
The divine turtles were powerful, yet they had never attacked humans unprovoked. Unsurprisingly, most of the cultivators had grown fond of them.
Despite the cultivator's instant death, the crowd believed he had been let off easy for bad-mouthing such divine creatures.
While the masses were discussing the gruesome death of the cultivator, the gigantic divine turtle had already taken Jared more than five kilometers away.
Squinting their eyes to focus better, the crowd searched the sea surface for a glimpse of Jared, but to no avail.
When they realized that Jared was nowhere to be found, the people sighed wistfully.
“How silly to give up one's own life to tame a divine turtle.”
“He sure overestimated himself. He's merely at Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm, yet he dared to try taming not only any divine turtle but the biggest one there is!”
“What if that guy manages to tame the biggest divine turtle? We'll have to eat our words.”
“If that's the case, Mr. Leaveden would be the most embarrassed.”
As the crowd of cultivators discussed with each other, they turned their gazes toward Dalton.
Earlier, most of them were focusing on Jared, with not many of them paying Dalton any attention. Hence, with Jared no longer in their field of sight, the crowd instinctively turned to watch Dalton.
In the meantime, at the realization of Jared's disappearance, Quinley and Cloud felt as though icy fingers had wrapped around their hearts.
