Chapter 472: Titan Tortoise! Standing Atop the Giant Tortoise!

The Bermuda Triangle was calm and tranquil.

The Qingfeng Cruise Ship sailed slowly through the Bermuda Triangle.

The popularity of Ning Fei's live stream had already climbed to number one in the world.

Live-streaming an expedition in the Bermuda Triangle was an unprecedented achievement.

The waterspout had passed not long ago, and the terrifying scene still lingered in the viewers' minds.

"The true terror of this ocean region should be at the bottom of the sea."

"The Bermuda Triangle sits on an active tectonic zone with frequent volcanic activity. The underwater terrain must be extremely complex. Anything could show up."

"Furthermore, many unknown species have been discovered in this area."

"So, to really explore the Bermuda Triangle, the most important thing is to go down to the seabed and take a look."

Ning Fei gripped the railing, looking down as he spoke softly.

"Temple Master Ning is going into the sea."

"That phrasing is ambiguous. It should be diving into the water."

"I actually wish Temple Master Ning would 'go into the sea.' That way, I'd have a chance."

"Count me in, sister."

Just then, Ning Fei spotted a small island suddenly appearing ahead.

"There's an isolated island over there!"

"It's a bit strange. Logically speaking, the waters of the Bermuda Triangle are thousands of meters deep. How could there be terrain protruding above the surface?"

Ning Fei looked at the island and murmured in confusion.

The island wasn't large. It looked about the same size as the Qingfeng Cruise Ship and could, at best, be considered a massive boulder.

As they drew closer, Ning Fei noticed that a large portion of the island's coastline was submerged just beneath the surface, appearing quite shallow.

"This island is rather interesting. I'll go down and take a look."

Ning Fei found it peculiar.

Because the shoreline was too shallow, the Qingfeng Cruise Ship couldn't sail any closer. His only option was to take the jet ski.

As for why he didn't take the helicopter, it consumed too much fuel, and the island looked so small that a helicopter might not even be able to land.

Ning Fei disembarked from the Qingfeng Cruise Ship, hopped onto the jet ski, and sped straight toward the land ahead.

"Is it unusual for the Bermuda Triangle to have isolated islands?"

"The Bermuda Triangle is extremely deep. There shouldn't be any landmasses here, especially not one this small!"

"It's highly likely to be something like an underwater mountain pushed up by tectonic pressure."

"Haha, that's pretty rare."

The audience watched Ning Fei's live stream with rapt attention.

Ning Fei drove the jet ski, racing forward.

The seawater had low transparency and the waves were large, so the viewers could only roughly see what was beneath Ning Fei. The shoreline wasn't particularly deep—only about half a meter beneath the surface.

However, Ning Fei felt increasingly uneasy.

"Something is odd."

"Normally, the color of a coastline isn't this dark."

"The color of the island is wrong, too. Seamount rocks that breach the surface are usually whitish-gray. Blackish rocks like these are very rare."

Ning Fei soon arrived at the edge of the island.

He stepped off the jet ski, the water barely covering his ankles.

Because he knew he had to get into the water, Ning Fei hadn't worn shoes, and he was only wearing shorts on his lower half.

A distinct sensation transmitted from the soles of his feet.

Usually, stepping onto the seabed near a shoreline would feel like stepping into mud or sand.

But this coast had neither mud nor sand. Instead, it felt somewhat cold and even had some aquatic plants growing on it.

Realizing something, a flash of shock appeared on Ning Fei's face.

He took another step forward. This time, his feet distinctly felt a textured pattern.

"What's wrong with Temple Master Ning?"

"This is the first time I've ever seen Temple Master Ning make that kind of expression!"

"Suddenly I'm feeling a bit nervous!"

"God, did something happen? To think it could make even Temple Master Ning lose his composure!"

"I have a feeling something terrifying is about to happen."

Ning Fei took a few steps forward, following the curvature to climb onto the isolated island before him.

He crouched down, looked closer, and gently stroked the island's surface.

Then, shaking his head helplessly, he said slowly, "This isn't an island."

"This is a tortoise's shell!"

Ning Fei's words hit like a bolt from the blue, instantly sending shockwaves around the entire world!

"A tortoise shell?! Am I hearing things?"

"Does Temple Master Ning mean that the dark shadow we saw underwater wasn't a coastline, but a gigantic turtle?"

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"Where in the world would you find a turtle this huge? It's bigger than a whale!"

"The biggest whales are larger than this, but it's still impossible for a turtle this huge to exist."

"Temple Master Ning must be joking."

The viewers clearly didn't believe Ning Fei's words.

Ning Fei felt somewhat helpless. To be honest, he could hardly believe it himself.

But the sight right in front of his eyes undeniably told him that this was indeed a turtle's shell.

"The largest whales are thirty-three meters long. The length of this sea turtle is roughly fifteen meters."

"Even the largest Archelon ever discovered by humanity was only five meters long."

"It's also possible that this isn't a living sea turtle, but rather an ancient fossilized turtle shell that has been floating on the surface."

"If it really is a live sea turtle, then this is truly extraordinary."

"I'm afraid anyone who fell into the sea would be swallowed by this turtle..."

Before Ning Fei could even finish his sentence, a scene that left everyone dumbfounded suddenly unfolded.

The turtle shell beneath Ning Fei's feet began to shake violently. Then, the shell rapidly ascended from the ocean surface.

Countless liters of seawater were lifted by the shell, transforming into waterfalls that cascaded off its sides.

"Holy crap!"

Ning Fei was equally startled.

The sudden change made him lose his balance. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, making a minor bodily adjustment to stand firmly atop the turtle shell.

The jet ski wasn't as lucky. When the turtle shell surfaced, the massive waves it stirred up smashed the jet ski directly into the ocean, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

The drone flew high into the sky, allowing the viewers to witness an unimaginably massive sea turtle emerge from the water.

Its head was covered in hard bumps like jagged ravines, looking as though it were formed from the toughest mountain rock.

Standing on the shell, Ning Fei appeared incredibly tiny.

The appearance of the tortoise caused the viewers to momentarily stop breathing.

The hairs on their bodies stood on end, as if they had been electrocuted.

An inexplicable chill shot up from their crotches, drilling straight into their skulls!

"This... This... This..."

"Oh my god! What kind of monster is this?"

"What on earth has this guy discovered?"

"To think there's such a terrifying monster on Earth!"

"Dear god, could the apocalypse be upon us?"

Ning Fei stood atop the sea turtle's carapace.

This scene looked exceptionally terrifying.

Some people suffered from megalophobia. Seeing such a spectacle, their minds simply couldn't handle it, and they nearly suffocated.

"This is a Titan Tortoise from the Paleozoic Era!"

"During that period, the air was rich in oxygen, and there were many gigantic species, such as giant pythons, great apes, dinosaurs, and so on."

"But this is the first time I've ever seen a turtle this large!"

Ning Fei stood on the shell, speaking with a hint of amazement.

The sea turtle looked to be about the same length as the Qingfeng Cruise Ship.

A cruise-ship-sized sea turtle was enough to make one's scalp tingle just thinking about it, let alone seeing it in person.

"Are we sure this isn't CGI?"

"It's a multi-platform live stream. CGI couldn't possibly pull off this effect in real time."

"Do sea turtles like this really exist?"

The viewers gradually calmed down and regained their rationality.

"How is Temple Master Ning going to get back to the ship?!"

"Looking at Temple Master Ning's expression, it's like he hasn't even worried about that problem."

"I'm too scared to even breathe just looking at it, but Temple Master Ning is standing right on its back without panicking at all!"

"Temple Master Ning is the GOAT."

Ning Fei genuinely wasn't worried. Instead, he was fully engrossed in studying the condition of this sea turtle.

"If it's a Titan Tortoise, it's actually possible for it to grow this large."

"However, the current oxygen levels in the world and the energy contained within living organisms aren't enough to support a sea turtle growing to this extent."

"There's another possibility: this sea turtle has been subjected to prolonged magnetic field interference, causing a biological mutation within its body."

"In other words, this is a mutated giant tortoise!"

"The Bermuda Triangle truly lives up to its reputation as the most terrifying sea in the world."

"To think it could breed such a peculiar creature!"

As Ning Fei said this, there wasn't a trace of fear in his expression. Instead, he seemed rather excited about discovering a new species.

Upon hearing Ning Fei's words, the netizens of Huaxia and viewers from all around the world couldn't help but gulp, silently muttering a single thought to themselves:

"Temple Master Ning is absolutely insane!"
