Extracting Attributes, Unparalleled Defense!
Two hours later.
The guards woke up from their short sleep.
Li Ke's personal guards were the absolute elites of the army. They had experienced countless battles in their lives and all kinds of dangerous situations. They had even experienced three days and three nights of sleepless battles. Therefore, for them, even if they only slept for two hours a day, it was enough for them to recover most of their physical strength and energy.
Li Ke also stood up and said,"Everyone, get ready. We'll set off immediately."”
"Yes, sir!"
Xue Rengui and the others quickly packed up.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Li Ke casually looked into the stream. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
He took a big step forward and suddenly rushed into the stream. His hands grabbed into the stream as if he was catching a fish.
"Your Highness?" When Xue Rengui saw Li Ke's actions, he was shocked and thought that Li Ke had discovered some danger.
At this moment, Li Ke waved his hand with a smile and said,"I saw an interesting little thing. You don't have to worry about this king.”
After saying that, Li Ke opened his palm and saw that there was a very small turtle in his palm.
The turtle was completely hiding in its shell, as if it knew that danger was coming.
Li Ke looked at the little turtle, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. He directly communicated with the system.
Then, the system's voice sounded in his ears.
"Extracting target acquired. Checking target attributes.”
"Ding! The host can choose one of the two."
"1. Lifespan attribute extracted. The host's lifespan will be extended by ten times.”
" 2. Extracting the defensive attributes of the turtle shell. The host's body's defensive ability will increase by a hundred times, and it will become invulnerable.”
Hearing the system's voice, Li Ke's eyes suddenly flashed. As he had expected, the turtle had two attributes.
Although Li Ke yearned for the lifespan attribute, it was obvious that the defensive attribute was more important in the following matters.
After all, no matter how long one's lifespan was, just like this turtle, if he was stabbed by a knife or spear, he would die.
As for the defensive attribute, it could allow him to have a chance of survival even in the most dangerous situation.
In any case, if there was a chance in the future, he would just find a turtle to extract the lifespan attribute. There was nothing to hesitate about.
Thinking of this, Li Ke no longer hesitated and directly said," Extracting Defense Attribute!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ke could feel a warm current flowing through his entire body. His skin also flickered slightly at this moment.
He pinched his skin and found that there was no special feeling.
After thinking for a while, Li Ke picked up a dagger and slashed at his arm.
At this moment, his brain suddenly gave him a signal: " Danger exists. Do you wish to defend?"
"Defend!" Li Ke said without hesitation.”
Bang!
The next moment, his dagger suddenly touched his arm. However, miraculously, the sharp dagger did not cause a wound on his arm. Instead, it was as if he had knocked into a turtle shell, and there was a vibration.
At the same time, there was no wound on his arm other than a white mark.
This made Li Ke's eyes light up. At the same time, he speculated about his defensive ability based on the feeling just now.
" My defense is like a turtle's shell. When danger descends, I can control whether I will defend or not. It's like whether a turtle will shrink into its shell or not. I have the right to choose.”
"Also, its defensive effect. The strength I used just now was completely unable to break through my defense. In other words, the sabers and spears of ordinary soldiers would not be able to break through my defense.”
"However, if it was a famous general like Xue Rengui who possessed great strength, he might not be able to defend against it. After all, this turtle shell also has a limit.”
"But no matter what, with this powerful defense, as long as I'm careful and don't get surrounded by the army, I won't be in any danger!”
Li Ke clenched his fists and a smile appeared on his face. He didn't expect that he would have such a harvest just by resting here.
With this unparalleled defensive ability, he would be even more secure in what he was about to do.
"Your Highness, we have finished our preparations. We can set off at any time.”
At this moment, Xue Rengui walked over.
Li Ke nodded slightly. He casually placed the turtle back into the stream. Without any hesitation, he mounted the horse and said,"Let's go!"

The Great Tang's northern border was the Turks.
The relationship between the Turks and the Great Tang could not even be described as a feud.
Therefore, battles of varying sizes often occurred at the borders of the two countries.
On this day, no one had expected that the Turkic Crown Prince Rusor would lead one hundred thousand cavalry to lie in ambush on the border, then kill one thousand patrolling soldiers and charge into the Great Tang.
They also launched a surprise attack on the border town of Lizhou.
Lizhou was one of the most important cities on the Great Tang's border. It housed two granaries and countless weapons. An army of thirty thousand soldiers was stationed here all year round.
In the war between the Great Tang and the Turks, many supplies had been transported from Lizhou.
Thus, Lizhou was the most important factor in the Great Tang's ability to stand firm in the north.
But who would have thought that the Turks would suddenly attack Lizhou? At the same time, the other Turkic armies were also disrupting the Great Tang's border, making it difficult for the Great Tang border army to respond quickly.
As a result, Lizhou had become an isolated city with no reinforcements, and the Turks had begun to attack without hesitation. After a night of siege, nearly ten thousand soldiers had been killed.
The rest of the soldiers were either injured or exhausted.
As for the Turkic cavalry?
Only half of the elites had been attacking the city from the beginning to the end. The other half had been recuperating. It was obvious that they wanted to wait until the Lizhou garrison was completely exhausted before they could attack the city gates.
All the soldiers in Lizhou knew that if there were no reinforcements, Lizhou…would not be able to hold on.
The city was about to be destroyed!
And once the city was breached, the entire northern defense line of the Great Tang would collapse, and the Turkic cavalry would be able to march in. The Great Tang would be in danger!
Thinking of this, Deng Changming gritted his teeth.
He could already imagine the tragic sight of Turkic cavalry stepping into the Great Tang, killing its people, and trampling on its soil!
"Heavens, who can save us? Who can save the tens of millions of people of the Great Tang? This city…cannot be broken!" Deng Changming suddenly raised his head and howled,"Defend to the death! Fight to the death!"
A sorrowful voice resounded throughout the entire city wall.
At this moment, no one noticed that a dozen fast horses had suddenly rushed to a hill not far away and were looking down at the scene of the siege...
