Chapter 158: Successive Shots

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Rise!”

Feeling dizzy from the poisonous gas, Nie Quan circulated his inner strength, causing the blood in his body to boil. With a loud shout, he pulled back, causing the pond to churn violently. A huge object was pulled out of the pond.

“Hiss!”

Seeing the true appearance of this demonic beast, many people present could not help but suck in a cold breath.

It was a huge toad. At first glance, it was no smaller than a thatched cottage. On its back, there were poison bumps that were as big as a camel’s hump. Green poison swayed within, making one’s scalp go numb.

The eyes of the Venomous Toad were a bottomless black, just like this pool of water. After the Venomous Toad was dragged out of the pool, the aura of a peak Tier 1 demonic beast swept out, causing some Marrow Tempering realm martial artists to pale slightly.

Even the Visceral Tempering realm martial artists had unnatural expressions when they saw the Venomous Toad. It was much more difficult to exterminate such a highly toxic creature than other demonic beasts.

However, when they thought of the Dreamlike Lotus in the pond, they gathered their courage again. Wealth came from danger. How could there be no danger if he wanted to obtain mystical ingredients?

Moreover, the toad’s tongue was being pulled, and its body was being controlled within a certain range. Furthermore, they were not in the pool, which actually reduced the difficulty by a lot.

“Everyone, go!”

Jiao Xiangyuan was unmoved. He put a Detoxification Pill into his mouth and waved his right hand. He rushed toward the Venomous Toad.

Although poisonous creatures were dangerous, they were not inexhaustible. At least, compared to other Tier 1 demonic beasts, the Venomous Toad’s defense was definitely weaker. This was an opportunity.

A group of people rushed toward the Venomous Toad. The eyes of the Venomous Toad were filled with coldness. Suddenly, the Venomous Toad’s tightly shut mouth opened, and two shadows flew out from it, sweeping around the surroundings.

“Be careful!”

Jiao Xiangyuan’s expression changed slightly. He had not expected the Venomous Toad to have three tongues. What kind of mutation was this?

However, there was no time to think about it. Jiao Xiangyuan’s sword subconsciously turned into a disc and blocked in front of him.

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, Jiao Xiangyuan’s body couldn’t help but stagger backward. At this moment, Jiao Xiangyuan finally saw the appearance of the tongue that was attacking him. It was completely different from the one in Nie Quan’s hand.

It was even fatter, and one could even see the movement of the muscles on it.

It was obvious that it was much stronger than the first one. Even Jiao Xiangyuan, who was at the peak of the Visceral Tempering stage, had to retreat to deflect the force.

“Ahhhhh!”

“What is this?”

“Save me!”

Jiao Xiangyuan was just about to get wrapped by the creature’s tongue when a tragic cry came from somewhere else. Jiao Xiangyuan glanced at it from the corner of his eye and frowned.

The toad’s third tongue split into dozens of thin threads, which began to hunt down warriors. Compared to the other two tongues, these dozens of thin threads were weaker and not poisonous, but they were extremely fast.

Visceral Tempering realm martial artists could still barely see the trajectory and block it, but those at the Marrow Tempering realm were completely unable to see what was attacking them.

Usually, just four or five threads could kill a Marrow Tempering realm martial artist.

In the blink of an eye, six or seven Marrow Tempering realm martial artists had already died. Thick blood scattered in the surroundings, making it look like hell. It was disgusting to look at.

Chai Xianjun shouted coldly. The spear in his hand turned into a phantom and pointed at the dozens of thin lines.

The Myriad Shadow Spear was said to be able to produce hundreds and thousands of spear shadows. The actual situation was naturally not so exaggerated. Moreover, no matter how many spear shadows there were, most of them were just illusions and did not have actual attack power. At most, they were used to confuse others.

However, Chai Xianjun blocked the front and managed to block a portion of the threads, allowing the Marrow Tempering realm martial artists to escape. As for the remaining Visceral Tempering Realm martial artists, they began to remove the remaining thin threads one by one.

“If you want the Dreamlike Lotus, join in. If you don’t want to do anything, you’re not going to get a share.”

Jiao Xiangyuan saw that many other martial artists had arrived from the periphery and could not help but shout loudly.

The threat level of this Venomous Toad had somewhat exceeded Jiao Xiangyuan’s expectations. Right now, he could only let the people who had just arrived in. Otherwise, if there were any accidents, the original people would suffer heavy losses.

The people who came later looked at each other. Many Marrow Tempering realm experts had died, but those at the Visceral Tempering realm were only injured. It was unrealistic to think that they could benefit from this. If they continued to stay here, they might even be punished later.

“Junior brother, let’s go over too.” Guo Linshan turned to look at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei nodded. Although this Venomous Toad was dangerous, most of its methods had already been used. As long as he was careful, the danger could still be controlled.

“Senior Brother Guo, be careful!”

As Chen Fei spoke, his figure flashed to the treetop. He drew his bow into the shape of a full moon. In the next moment, the arrow turned into a shooting star and pierced the back of the Venomous Toad.

“Croak!”

The Venomous Toad suddenly cried out in pain. Just now, many people had thrown hidden weapons at the Venomous Toad, but they were all deflected by the Venomous Toad’s skin, so they could not hurt it at all.

At this moment, Chen Fei’s arrow had broken through its defense. Many people could not help but glance at Chen Fei. When they saw Chen Fei’s Marrow Tempering realm cultivation, they could not help but reveal a surprised expression.

“Alright, that junior brother, use your bow and arrow to suppress it!”

Jiao Xiangyuan saw the arrow on Chen Fei’s back, and his expression changed. He saw that Chen Fei’s clothes were also from the Primordial Sword Sect, and he couldn’t help but smile.

Chen Fei did not say anything. He shot an arrow at the Venomous Toad’s eye, but it was immediately blocked by the Venomous Toad’s eyelids.

Compared to the skin on its back, the Venomous Toad’s eyelids were actually tougher. Even with the strength of Chen Fei’s current bow and arrow, it only caused a white spot to appear on the Venomous Toad’s eyelids, and then the arrowhead was completely shattered.

However, the strength of Chen Pel’s arrow caused the Venomous Toad to stop, making it unable to control its body.

Chen Fei did not focus on the Venomous Toad’s eyes. As for its mouth, the Venomous Toad protected it very well. With just a slight tilt of its head, it could avoid the arrow and rush into its mouth.

Chen Fei began to attack the back of the Venomous Toad one arrow after another. He attacked the same area, first shattering the skin defense on the surface, causing the damage caused by each arrow to increase.

The Venomous Toad’s painful cries began to grow louder. It tried its best to move its body and avoid Chen Fei’s bow and arrow. As time passed, the wound on its back became bigger and deeper, and all kinds of poison had already splashed everywhere.

However, the first tongue of the Venomous Toad was held back by Nie Quan, and the second tongue, which possessed immense strength, was currently being held by the combined strength of three Visceral Tempering stage cultivators. It couldn’t move, and its body was naturally confined to a certain area.

Moving in such a small area was impossible to avoid Chen Fei’s archery. The wound on the Venomous Toad’s back became bigger and deeper.

The other warriors couldn’t help but smile. According to this trend, they would be able to kill this Venomous Toad in a few minutes.

A peak Tier 1 demonic beast would usually already have a demonic core in its body. It was difficult to consume a demon pill raw, so it was best to use it as medicine. Its effect was similar to that of mystical ingredients, and it was another great harvest.

Without the cooperation of so many Visceral Tempering realm experts, a few ordinary martial artists would probably only be able to deliver food to this Venomous Toad.

“Croak!”

The Venomous Toad seemed to have sensed its situation. Its eyes flickered slightly, and two of its tongues suddenly broke off. The remaining tongue suddenly returned to its mouth.

The expressions of the others changed slightly. Previously, they had considered the possibility of the Venomous Toad severing its tongue in order to survive, so they were all closing in on the Venomous Toad step by step. A few of the Visceral Tempering Realm martial artists had even gone around to cut off their retreat.

However, no one had expected the Venomous Toad to be so decisive as to sever its tongue.

“Croak!”

The Venomous Toad let out a cry, causing the ears of the martial artists present to buzz. Then, the poison bags on the back of the Venomous Toad suddenly shattered one by one. The poison did not scatter but was absorbed by the Venomous Toad.

A mouthful of poisonous gas was released from the toad’s mouth and dispersed in all directions.

“Chi chi chi.

Wherever the poisonous gas passed, the ground seemed to have been splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, and the sound of corrosion could be heard endlessly. The expressions of the other warriors who wanted to approach him changed as they retreated.

Even if they used their inner strength to resist the poison, they would not be able to withstand it. The Venomous Toad had completely spat out all the poison in its body.

Compared to the poison on the first tongue, it was more than ten times stronger.

This Venomous Toad clearly knew that it was in danger. With its intelligence, it simply used a big move to force everyone back.

“Don’t let it escape back to the pond!”

Jiao Xiangyuan’s expression changed. After a moment of hesitation, he circulated his Origin Connection Technique and released his inner strength, forming a protective barrier around his body. He then arrived in front of the Venomous Toad.

The sound of corrosion instantly echoed around Jiao Xiangyuan’s body. Only a martial artist at the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm had the ability to create such a thick wall of inner strength to protect himself for a short period of time.

“Trying to escape?”

Nie Quan laughed loudly as he appeared in front of the Venomous Toad. He grabbed one of the Venomous Toad’s legs.

Nie Quan’s body was several times smaller than the Venomous Toad’s. However, with Nie Quan’s explosive shout, the Venomous Toad’s body was suddenly dragged up and thrown backward by Nie Quan.

“Good!”

Chai Xianjun’s eyes lit up. His long spear was dragged on the ground, and his aura disappeared. In the next moment, his aura suddenly appeared again, and then it exploded. The long spear that was dragged on the ground had disappeared.

“Boom!”

The spear was like a dragon. When it appeared again, it had already pierced through the toad’s chin and head.

The Venomous Toad trembled violently from the pain. Chai Xianjun could only hold on for a moment before he was flung away. However, there was no doubt that the spear had severely injured the Venomous Toad. The other Visceral Tempering Realm martial artists swarmed forward and crazily attacked the Venomous Toad.

There was no venom, its tongue was broken, and its head was severely injured. The Venomous Toad’s strength was less than ten percent, and it only lasted for a moment before it was killed by the other Visceral Tempering Realm martial artists.

With a dull thud, the Venomous Toad’s body smashed into the ground, completely dead.

Just like that, a peak Tier 1 demonic beast was killed by everyone’s combined efforts.

“Are you Feng Xiupu’s disciple?”

Jiao Xiangyuan came in front of Chen Fei and sized him up. The main reason was that Feng Xiupu had personally sent Chen Fei and Guo Linshan to the secret realm, leaving a deep impression.

After all, they were Aperture Tempering realm experts, so they could attract the attention of others wherever they went. This was why Jiao Xiangyuan took a few more glances at Chen Fei and Guo Linshan..
