The Great Wild God - Chapter 132

Chapter 132 Prove Oneself Innocent
Since the two-headed eagle and demonic toad were dead, there were no other threats in the Frost Lake Swamp apart from the last three to five hundred different toads.

Tie Xintong wielded both halberds, Gu Jianfeng wielded the shield spear, and formed a front formation with Chen Xun and the others who wore heavy armor and multiple profound talisman mystic armor. Zong Ya, Gu Feng, and the others wore light armor to cover their flanks. Tie Xinmei and the other loose cultivators, who were skilled in long-range spells, gathered at the center of the formation. Nearly forty people formed a conical formation, wading through the shallow water and advancing towards the stone ground in the middle of the swamp.

In addition, there were nearly twenty loose cultivators who were skilled in escaping techniques, forming two teams and staying at the shore as backup.

In just half a day, the strange toads that had gathered on the stone ground were beaten to the point of dropping flowers and flowing water.

Apart from nearly two hundred roe deer-sized special toads and corpse stone fields, the other special toads scattered into the dense forest.

Although Tie Xintong and the others had paid a lot for this, it was fortunate that no one had died.

Not to mention the Phoenix Blood Wood at the bottom of the pond, the two hundred odd toad remains on the stone floor could make up for the losses in armor and medicinal pills.

Chen Xun tied the Frost Saber back to his waist and summoned Ah Qing, who was chasing after the strange toad everywhere. He cupped his hands towards Su Fanglong, Su Fuchen, and the others, who were watching the battle with sleeves on the cliff, and said, “More than ten Wind Blood Woods told me to sink into the bottom of the Frost Lake. I’ll know in a moment!”

This place was the closest to the cave, and the pond water was extremely cold.

Other people’s blood vitality wasn’t enough to resist this bone-piercing cold, so Chen Xun didn’t dare to trouble Su Lingyin and the others to take action.

He and Tie Xintong tied a long rope around their waist and dived into the cold pool.

The vast majority of the Frost Pool Swamp was shallow water, and only near the periphery of the stone ground was a deep pond.

Beneath the stone ground, there were hundreds of holes of varying sizes. Extremely cold profound energy leaked out from the holes, so dense that it blossomed with azure light beneath the water.

Chen Xun thought to himself, if there was any power that could occupy this Frost Lake, regardless of whether it was artifact forging or disciple cultivation, it would be an excellent treasure trove.

The fact that the demonic toad and nearly a thousand other toads were able to grow here, and that there were more than a dozen Phoenix Blood Wood growing stone fields, were all related to this Profound Cold Crypt.

However, Chen Xun also knew that he didn’t have the qualifications to monopolize the Frost Lake at this moment.

As the two sects further exploited the lake wasteland, this cold pond would either fall into the hands of the Azure Water School or fall into the hands of Mystical Frost Sect. If other weak forces attempted to occupy this cold pond’s spiritual acupoint, they would only cause a calamity.

The cold pond was not deep, only a hundred meters away, and the dozen Phoenix Blood Wood stalks quietly sank to the bottom of the pond.

Chen Xun and Tie Xintong endured the bone-piercing cold and tied the Phoenix Blood Wood to a long rope. Seeing that there were still eggshells left behind by the demonic toad at the bottom of the pond, Chen Xun casually picked them up and reappeared on the surface of the water.

Looking at the Phoenix Blood Wood hanging out of the water, Su Fang Long looked at it with a smack of his tongue and cried out in surprise, “It really is a thousand-year-old Phoenix Blood Wood!” Looking at the thickness of the stem, which had been around for a thousand years, Su Fanglong’s voice trembled.

Su Lingyin, Su Qingfeng, and the others were more or less shocked by the pile of priceless Phoenix Blood Wood in front of them. Only then did they realize that they had truly misunderstood Chen Xun.

The current situation was no longer so difficult to guess. Just what kind of secrets and treasures were hidden beneath the Jade Pillar Peak. They would have to wait until the green wolves outside were cleared before they could go in and find out what exactly was going on.

If Chen Xun really colluded with outsiders, he should stop when he obtained this batch of Phoenix Blood Wood.

Otherwise, even if they were to join the Jade Pillar Peak, how much benefit would they get?

Lou Li was also dumbfounded. They had rushed over with Shi Yi earlier, Seeing the Twin-Headed Vulture lying beside the Frost Pool, The demonic toad had also died outside the mountain range, leaving only three to five hundred different toad gathering stones. The Phoenix Blood Wood was nowhere to be found, so he naturally assumed that Chen Xun would cooperate with the outsiders to kill the Twin-Headed Vulture and the demonic toad and ship the priceless Phoenix Blood Wood out first. Who would have thought that Chen Xun would actually sink the Phoenix Blood Wood to the bottom of the pond?

Thinking back and forth, it was all because they were in a state of chaos.

If they hadn’t retreated in panic, as long as they cleared away the hundreds of strange toads on the stone floor in the middle of the swamp, it wouldn’t have been difficult to discover the Phoenix Blood Wood that had sunk to the bottom of the pond. Why would they have made such a fuss?

Lou Li’s heart was filled with bitterness. Facing Su Lingyin and the others, if there was any gaze that swept over, he only wanted to dig a hole to dig himself in.

Lou Yiyi’s mood was even worse. When he recalled all of this, it was undoubtedly because he was too conceited. He thought that after subduing the Twin-Headed Vulture, killing Chen Xun would be as easy as turning his palm. He never thought that Chen Xun would follow behind him to the Frost Pool Swamp.

And he was afraid of Su Tang. Lou Li said that Su Tang might be hiding in the dark. He did not think too much and immediately retreated. It was really a big mistake.

Chen Xun glanced at Lou Yao, Lou Youyi, and the others, who had a dead expression on their faces, and asked, “Do you think that I can’t take so many Phoenix Blood Woods away by myself, and therefore conclude that I’m colluding with foreign enemies?”

Su Fuchen didn’t care about Chen Xun taking the opportunity to ridicule Lou Yao and the others, so he couldn’t help but stretch out his hand and caress the Phoenix Blood Wood that was called Divine Mark Cold Iron.

Phoenix Blood Wood was harder than Divine Mark Cold Iron and Crimson Black Gold, and its internal texture was similar to the meridians of human Qi acupoints, making it an excellent base material for refining magical artifacts.

With so many Phoenix Blood Wood, it could be said to be priceless.

If the Su Clan could take this batch of Phoenix Blood Wood for themselves, it could be said that half of their goal for this trip had been achieved.

Chen Xun sank the Phoenix Blood Wood into the bottom of the pond, and at this moment, he fished it out from the bottom of the pond. Su Fuchen did not believe that there would be any experts behind him.

Su Fuchen trembled as he stroked the tree. It was as if he was stroking a woman’s skin that was smoother than silk. In the blink of an eye, he discovered that the Phoenix Blood Wood had actually been cut. The tree sap had already been drained. For some reason, blood dripped from the bottom of his heart. He turned around and questioned Chen Xun, “How did you cut all the Phoenix Blood Wood?”

“The peculiar toad is afraid of tree sap. Naturally, I will cut the sap and chase away the demonic toad.” Chen Xun didn’t even blink when he lied, but seeing Su Fuchen’s nervous expression, he thought to himself, Could it be that the Phoenix Blood Wood’s sap was even more precious?

“You really know how to ruin good things!” Su Fuchen looked at more than ten Phoenix Blood Woods, and the sap was completely drained. He was truly speechless with anger.

“Fortunately, after cutting through the tree, it sank into the cold pool. With the cold pool water soaking through, the tree veins should not have been closed yet. Otherwise, the quality would have been degraded by another level.” Su Qingfeng said regretfully.

Chen Xun spread out his hands, indicating that he didn’t understand these things. Even if he trampled on this batch of things, he couldn’t blame him.

Su Fanglong didn’t say anything and cast spells one by one with Su Lingyin, sealing the Phoenix Blood Wood to prevent the cold pool water that was immersed in the Phoenix Blood Wood from losing.

In this way, he could also conclude that there was no expert behind Chen Xun’s back to help him.

Chen Xun didn’t know how to deal with the Phoenix Blood Wood. Advanced magical artifacts weren’t something that ordinary loose cultivators could refine. However, experts above the middle stage of the Reincarnation Realm didn’t know the characteristics of the Phoenix Blood Wood. If Chen Xun was allowed to trample on these precious woods like this, it was obviously extremely rare.

Seeing Chen Xun’s complacent expression, Lou Yao was furious and questioned,

“So what if the two-headed eagle and the demonic toad die?”

“We are humans, not beasts. Can you use your brain?” Chen Xun said with a look of disdain.

Lou Yao was so angry that his blood rushed into his mind. If it weren’t for Su Fanglong, Su Lingyin, and the others, he would have pulled out his sword and chopped this piece of shit into a real piece of shit!

However, Su Lingyin and the others had the same doubts. They looked over and waited for Chen Xun’s reply.

Chen Xun asked Lou Shiyi,

“When you broke into the stone ground a few times ago, did you see a large amount of filth in the nest?”

“That’s right.” Said Lou Shiyi.

“Do you know what the filth is hiding? Or do you think that the Twin-Headed Vulture is born to chase after filth?” Chen Xun asked again.

Lou Shiyi was stunned.

At that time, he wanted to subdue the Twin-Headed Vulture as soon as possible, and then bring the elite disciples of Ghost Faction to explore the Frost Lake. Even if he had thought that there was something hidden beneath the excrement, he would not have been able to free his hands to retrieve it before subduing the Twin-Headed Vulture.

He didn’t expect that after diverting the Twin-Headed Vulture away, Chen Xun would instead barge into the stone ground and find something good from the Twin-Headed Vulture’s tree nest.

Thinking of this, Lou Shiyi felt even more inexplicable grief and indignation, but he was unable to say a word. In the end, he was still too conceited. He never expected Chen Xun to follow him to the Frost Lake Swamp.

Chen Xun showed the eggshell he had picked up from the bottom of the pond to Su Fanglong and the others and said,

‘”I was following Lou Shiyi when I discovered this cold pond. I also know that once Lou Shiyi subdues the Twin-Headed Vulture, I won’t be able to escape his pursuit for three months. That’s why I thought of taking Ah Qing along with me to forcefully charge into the cold pond and kill the Twin-Headed Vulture. You can’t blame me for that. But after I entered the stone ground, I found an egg in the nest …”

Chen Xun followed Lou Yiyi, wanting to kill the Twin-Headed Vulture, so he naturally couldn’t blame Chen Xun for this. No wonder Chen Xun had ambushed Lou Yiyi. They were both competitions between the two of them, so no one else could say anything.

Su Lingyin, Jiang Bingyun, and the others all had strange expressions on their faces. Only then did they realize that a person was too arrogant. It wasn’t a good thing. Lou Shiyi was also too arrogant three years ago, so he was captured alive by Chen Xun, right?

Su Fanglong reached out and took the eggshell.

Although the eggshell was only a small piece, judging from its shape, it was not difficult to tell how big it would be when it was intact.

Chen Xun continued,

“When the Twin-Headed Vulture comes back with injuries, I will give this egg to the Demonic Toad to swallow and lure the Twin-Headed Vulture into a fierce battle with the Demonic Toad. Look at the surrounding situation. It was left behind by the fierce battle between the Twin-Headed Vulture and the Demonic Toad. The demonic toad was slightly stronger than the twin-headed vulture, but the twin-headed vulture would occasionally devour the peculiar toad and only die after a day and night of fierce battles. After the Twin-Headed Vulture died, the Demon Toad’s eyes were crippled, and its body was beaten to pieces. It flew around the mountains and told me to seize this opportunity to kill it. “It’s so simple. I don’t know what I did wrong, but Gui Xi actually set me up like this!”

After Su Fanglong took the eggshell from Chen Xun, he carefully distinguished it. Suddenly, he sighed and handed it to Su Lingyin, “It doesn’t seem to be a vulture egg …”

“Dove Roc egg?” Su Lingyin was a little uncertain and handed it over to Su Qingfeng.

“Why would a vulture nest have a dove roc egg?” Jiang Bingyun asked curiously.

‘”Scaled Vulture likes to steal other exotic eggs to hatch.” Su Qingfeng already had a black roc as his mount, so he naturally knew the habits of these exotic birds. He couldn’t help but complain to Chen Xun, “You really know how to ruin good things …”

“Chen Xun can’t even save his life. Whether it’s the Dove Roc Egg or the Phoenix Blood Wood, to Chen Xun, they are nothing more than floating clouds.” Chen Xun said without any burden.

“You and this leopard will share the Dove Roc egg and then use the empty eggshell to frame the demonic toad. There’s nothing to hide,” Su Qingfeng said angrily. “Such a good thing has made you feel bad. We can’t make you spit it out.”

Jiang Bingyun was also speechless towards Chen Xun. He hadn’t expected that his words would still be adulterated, wanting to confuse the line of sight of others.

Before Chen Xun left Northern Mountain City, Su Qingfeng had specially seen him. Jiang Bingyun could clearly see his background at that time. At this moment, Chen Xun’s vitality and blood were even more boundless. Naturally, it was an opportunity that he had encountered in this month.

However, Jiang Bingyun thought about it again. Jiu Peng was almost the king of the strange birds that Cang Lan knew about. The life essence contained in the egg was so pure and boundless. Ordinary True Yang Realm cultivators who ate it without dying would be able to break through their physical barriers and advance into the Reincarnation Realm. It was strange that Chen Xun was still at the seventh level of Blood Transformation.

Could it be that this Dove Roc egg was eaten by the Profound Leopard beside him?

It was reasonable to think so.

The Profound Leopard was originally a mutant desolate beast, especially the one beside Chen Xun. Its bloodline was pure, so it might not necessarily be inferior to Su Qingfeng’s black roc. However, desolate beasts like the Profound Leopard had extremely long lifespans, and their growth was also extremely slow.

This leopard seemed to be young, but the corners of its head had already revealed a grand appearance. It must have swallowed something spiritual.

Jiang Bingyun also wanted Chen Xun to be so quick-witted. It was impossible for him to stuffed the entire Dove Roc egg into the Demonic Toad. At most, he had used the empty eggshell to frame the Demonic Toad, causing both the Demonic Toad and the Twin-Headed Vulture to lose.

Thinking like that, this brat is really cunning! How many good things did he obtain after killing the demonic toad?
