Chapter 399 Seeking the True Toad Fluid
The dark green dragon roared angrily and soared into the air. Its spiritual power surged out madly and shot in all directions, trying to find those who attacked it.
However, after searching for a long time, it found nothing. Those people had flown beyond the range of its spiritual awareness.
So the dragon immediately understood what was going on.
This group of people didn't come to kill it, but to trap it to prevent it from causing trouble.
After roaring a few times, the dragon did not chase after the beast anymore, but returned to the lake in disappointment, rolled over, stirred up a lot of waves, and then disappeared.
Somewhere outside the Taishou Mountains, Ye Changsheng watched the old man with a goatee collect the flags in the hands of the Black Iron Guards, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"It's actually a magic array that draws on the power of the stars. This is really rare!" he thought to himself.
"Okay, the mission of this trip has been completed, but what we have to do is not over yet. Fellow Taoists have been looking forward to the True Toad Liquid for a long time. Now let's go to the True Toad's nest!" The old man with a goat beard said with a smile on his face after putting away the flags.
Hearing his words, the big man in brocade robe, the old man with rosacea and others all showed a hint of joy on their faces.
The reason why they were attracted to this mission was that there was a nest of green-eyed toads near the Golden Stone Beast. While completing the mission, they could also deal with this nest of toads.
However, although it is nearby, the nest of the Green-eyed Toad is tens of thousands of miles away.
Everyone rested here for two days, and after their damaged magic power was restored to its peak, they flew towards the nest of the real toad.
"There are a total of six True Toads in that nest. The two adult male and female True Toads are at the Refining Void Stage, and the remaining four young Toads are at the Nascent Soul Stage!"
"If Brother Li and I hadn't taken action, you Qingming Guards wouldn't be able to get rid of these real toads!" Zhao Wugui said after giving a brief introduction to the situation of the green-eyed real toad's nest.
"Thank you two seniors for your help. With your help, we can easily capture the toads!" The big man in brocade robe immediately complimented tactfully.
"Haha, don't underestimate those real toads. But this time the two of us are helping you for a purpose!"
"We don't want those real toads. You can take them and divide them among yourself. The two of us only want the few Thousand Heart Flowers guarded by the real toads!" Zhao Wugui laughed.
Hearing this, the man in brocade robe and others naturally agreed without hesitation, but Ye Changsheng's eyes flickered and he didn't speak for a while.
He was thinking to himself, how could he get a Thousand Heart Flower?
If you ask these two Heavenly Guards for it directly, they will most likely not give it to you.
After all, the Thousand Heart Flower is the main ingredient of the Thousand Heart Pill, which can increase the magic power of cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage. It is unimaginably precious to cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage.
Just look at the price of 50 million spirit stones that the bottle of Tenglong Pill was sold for, and you will know how expensive this kind of pill is.
"This group of true toads have been hiding in their nests deep underground and usually never come out. If we want to kill them in their nests, I'm afraid it will be much more difficult. After all, the environment near the nests is not conducive to our encirclement and suppression."
"So, on the one hand, we have to lure these real toads out, and on the other hand, we have to find a way to deal with the several companion beasts of the green-eyed real toad!" said Zhao Wugui.
"Companion beast?!" Upon hearing this, the Black Iron Guards showed confusion on their faces.
Their knowledge of the Green-Eyed True Toad was extremely limited. Unlike these Divine Transformation Monks, they had not specifically investigated various information related to the Green-Eyed True Toad.
Zhao Wugui did not put on airs as a Heavenly Guard when facing this group of Nascent Soul cultivators. Instead, he said kindly:
"There are usually two types of companion beasts near the nest of the Green-Eyed True Toad, one is the Black Blood Ant, and the other is the Shadow Bug Beast!"
"These things are not very powerful individually, but they live in groups. There are probably more than a hundred of them. It's not easy to get rid of them!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Nascent Soul cultivators below immediately changed.
Thinking back to the situation when they dealt with the wolf pack before, they couldn't help but feel a little more afraid of this kind of social creatures.
"I think that since the two seniors have brought us here, they should have found a solution!" the big man in brocade robe asked with a turn of his eyes.
"Not bad!" Zhao Wugui nodded.
"When Brother Li and I were preparing for this mission, we had already purchased sandalwood crane incense. This incense is very attractive to black blood ants. As long as we light it from a distance, we can easily lure them out of the ground, and then we can kill them together."
"As for those shadow insect beasts, the two of us have already borrowed a magical treasure that can be used to deal with them. It will not be difficult to deal with these guys when the time comes!" Zhao Wugui said with a confident smile on his face.
"It turns out that the two seniors have already made up their minds. This way, we can rest assured!" said the old man with rosacea with a chuckle.
"Okay, we're almost at the Green-Eyed Toad's nest, everyone please be careful!" Zhao Wugui reminded.
After a while, they came to a black mountain shrouded in thick fog. When they saw the mountain, Zhao Wugui and the old man with a goat beard slowed down their pace.
"My fellow Taoists, be careful. The True Toad's nest is in a cave at the bottom of this mountain. We should follow the original plan and lure out those black-blood ants and kill them first." Zhao Wugui said solemnly.
Then, a half-foot long emerald green sandalwood appeared in his hand.
After inserting the sandalwood into an incense burner, Zhao Wugui reminded:
"Although these black blood ants are only as powerful as level eight demon beasts, they are able to break through the various protective auras and shields of our cultivators."
"Moreover, the black blood in its body is extremely poisonous. With our strength, if we are bitten, we must take antidote pills immediately, otherwise our lives will be in danger."
After reminding everyone, he threw the incense burner into the air, and then snapped his fingers. Suddenly a flame rushed out and ignited the sandalwood.
Then, he left the incense burner here, and everyone dispersed and hid in various places.
Next to Ye Changsheng, Xu Qianyu's figure emerged. At this moment, she seemed to have recovered from the injuries she had suffered before, and a bright light shone on her face.
The previous Tiangang Wansuo Formation required thirty-six people to preside over it, and there happened to be one extra person among the Black Iron Guards, so the woman with the weakest magical power did not join them, but hid in the distance to recover her strength.
Now it seems that it has returned to its peak.
"Fairy, be careful later. If the situation is not good, you should stand farther away. Your magic power is the weakest here, and no one will say anything!" Seeing this, Ye Changsheng reminded in a gentle voice.
"Thank you for your concern, Captain. Qianyu will take care to protect myself later!" Xu Qianyu said softly.
Ye Changsheng nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.
Then, both of them took out a talisman and stuck it on themselves.
In the blink of an eye, their presence disappeared without a trace.
After a while, a buzzing sound came from a distance, and everyone was immediately alerted. Then they saw a group of huge flying ants with wings on their backs flying over from a distance.
Each of these flying ants is about a foot long, with exposed fangs and a pair of emerald green wings on their backs. They look like flying birds and are quite huge in size.
They didn't notice and flew directly towards the incense burner. In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by the crowd.
"Get started!"
Suddenly, a golden light flashed near the incense burner, and Zhao Wugui and the old man with a goat beard appeared from the void at the same time, calling on everyone to attack.
Suddenly, colorful spiritual lights flashed in all directions, and dozens of magic weapons were sacrificed. The spiritual lights filled the sky and swept towards the ant colony with great momentum.
“Boom!”
After a deafening noise, the hundreds of black-blood ants were immediately submerged by the waves generated by the magic weapons, talismans, etc. cast by the crowd.
Although there are a large number of black-blood ants, they cannot resist when so many masters attack at the same time, even if there are several black-blood ants at the god-transformation level.
In a ray of precious light, these black-blood ants were submerged. After everyone's magic weapons were taken back, Zhao Wugui even spit out a green flame that directly covered that area.
When the flames dissipated, there was nothing left there, and the group of black-blood ants were easily dealt with.
"Okay, one of the companion beasts has been dealt with. Next, we will get rid of the shadow insect beast, and then we can go straight for the green-eyed true toad!" Zhao Wugui said with a hint of excitement.
"We have no way to lure the shadow worm beast out. Let's go directly into the real toad's nest and kill the shadow worm beast first, and then deal with the real toad!" said the old man with a goat beard.
"The shadow bugs usually stay outside the True Toad's nest. Once we take action against them, the True Toad will immediately notice the movement and will most likely come out to check. We can take the opportunity to hunt down the two adult True Toads!"
"The spiritual blood of two adult true toads is enough for the four Taoists to share. Although the blood of the remaining young true toads is a bit inferior, it can also play a significant role. Your harvest this time is extremely rich!" Zhao Wugui said with a grin.
"Thank you very much for your help, senior!"
"Without the two seniors, how could we obtain these real toad spirit liquids!"
…
The man in brocade robe and others immediately flattered him. Zhao Wugui and the old man with goat beard both smiled and said no more. Then they led everyone into the cave.
The nest of the green-eyed toad is built in an underground cave. There is a small river flowing out of the cave entrance, and a damp smell blows in the face.
After the group walked several hundred feet along the stream, they suddenly saw dark shadows appearing in the dark corners.
"Here it comes!" Seeing this scene, the old man with a goatee immediately reminded.
Then, he reached into his arms and a khaki jade seal appeared in his hand. He threw the khaki jade seal to the ground.
The next moment, there was a loud "boom" from the ground, an earth-yellow light appeared, and dust rolled out, rising in the wide cave like smoke.
As the dust and fog rolled, a group of strange black insects tumbled in the yellow dust, making harsh and unpleasant chirping sounds.
This black insect is nearly ten feet long, fat, and extremely huge, with black liquid constantly flowing out of its body.
The black liquid flowed into the ground, forming a pool, and the dark insect merged into it, as if it was about to disappear in the liquid.
But soon, a cloud of dust rose up and covered the black liquid, forcing the giant insect to separate from the liquid and continue to be exposed in the dust.
"Okay, they have nowhere to hide. Let's act quickly and get rid of these shadow insect beasts before those two real toads appear!" Zhao Wugui said immediately with a hint of excitement on his face.
"boom!"
Magical weapons of various colors flew out, and spiritual light filled the sky.
Ye Changsheng commanded the Yuanci Mountain to smash down violently, killing several huge insects below at once.
The rest of the people also took action, and most of the hundreds of huge insects were solved in an instant.
Originally, these shadow insect beasts were a rather troublesome type of strange insect. They were able to dissolve into the black liquid they secreted, disappearing from the range of everyone's spiritual sense, and then suddenly appear in various shadows to attack.
Sometimes, even inadvertently, they will sneak into everyone's shadow and it is impossible to guard against them.
But after the old man with a goat beard offered up the ochre-colored jade seal, the greatest magical power of these shadow insect beasts seemed to have become ineffective.
Therefore, he was easily slaughtered by everyone.
After killing most of them, suddenly, with a "quack" sound, a huge shadow appeared in the depths of the cave.
"Oh no, the Green-Eyed True Toads are coming. Quickly get rid of all these shadow insect beasts before they arrive !" Zhao Wugui ordered immediately.
Everyone immediately resorted to more tactics.
"Quack!"
"Quack!"
After several loud and noisy noises, two huge auras appeared, and then a dark shadow attacked the crowd at an extremely fast speed, appearing here almost in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Wugui snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and pointed, and a green jade ruler flew out and hit the black thing hard.
"Bang!"
After a dull sound, the green jade ruler bounced back. At the same time, everyone could see clearly what the dark shadow was.
They were actually two extended tongues, with amazing flexibility, sweeping towards the crowd.
"The two of us will deal with these two real toads, you guys quickly get rid of all the shadow insect beasts!" said the old man with the goat beard, and flew towards the two huge shadows with Zhao Wugui.
Ye Changsheng and the others attacked faster, and in the blink of an eye only a dozen or so shadow insect beasts were left alive.
It didn't take long before all the shadow insects were slaughtered by them.
Then, turning his head to look at the fiercely fought battlefield ahead, Ye Changsheng's eyes flashed, and he said, "The night is long and dreams are many. In this wilderness, all kinds of dangers emerge one after another. Let's go up and help the two seniors get rid of these real toads as soon as possible!"
"Brother Ye is right. If we attack together, even a True Toad at the Void Refinement Level won't be able to stop us!" the old man with rosacea praised.
So, the group rushed into the depths of the cave.
