Chapter 50: Crystal Toad

n Qianzhi finally understood. It turned out that this person in front of him could have as many elixirs as he wanted and didn't need to ask anyone else. As long as he leaked a little information, coun..."Kill the Crystal Toad, seize the Demon Pill, and grab the spirit objects!" Although there were many masters present, those with weaker forces wanted to take advantage of the chaos and make a profit. It wasn't something that one or two masters could stop, and no one knew who shouted it, but the scattered cultivators unleashed their spells individually, bombarding the small lake for several acres at once.

Fire, wind, and earth magic spells churn the placid lake like boiling water, waves surging and crashing. Water droplets fly everywhere.

"Stop, this won't work. It will only waste your magic power. The only way to force the Crystal Toad out is to drain the lake." An elderly man, who appeared to be quite powerful, shouted in a telepathic voice to those around him.

"Nonsense, with my Thunder Strike technique, I can definitely force that beast out." A retort came from the crowd, followed by a sound like a clap of thunder, striking just a few meters in front of the old man. The thick arc of electricity hissed as it plunged into the water. Lu Xiaoteng, being closer to the lake, could feel the tingling sensation of being struck by lightning.

At this time, the surface of the lake was too chaotic, with various low-level spells coming one after another. However, no one noticed that under the churning water on the lake surface, an inconspicuous vortex was swirling.

Wow, something sprang from the water. Around it, a chorus of gasps erupted. It was a huge toad, half a zhang square and entirely translucent like water. A wave of terror emanated from the toad as it emerged from the water.

“Oh, demon beast!”

The cultivators near the lake bank retreated in terror, though they had called out to slay the Crystal Toad. When it emerged from the water and they felt its overwhelming aura, they suddenly remembered that this was a fourth-rank monster. It was a powerful being that none of them could compare to.

The crystal toad was also very annoyed. It was resting well at the bottom of the lake, occasionally showing its head above the surface, when it was seen by human cultivators. Unexpectedly, this attracted so many people. Most low-level spells wouldn't affect it even if they hit the lake surface, but a few thunder-based spells made it feel uncomfortable all over. So it decided to come out and give these ants a lesson.

Whoosh! Something like an arrow shot out of the crystal toad's mouth, but it wasn't an arrow, rather a line-like thing. Almost no one could see clearly that line, just a flash before their eyes, and then it shrunk back in.

But the moment that line appeared, several screams rang out in succession.

Lu Xia tian stared intently. He saw, just a zhang's distance away, six or seven scattered cultivators standing in a line. Each cultivator had a blood hole on their chests, and when the white line retracted, it took with it large chunks of flesh. Some were hit in vital spots and died instantly, while others may have been slightly off target and only had a large chunk of meat ripped away, bones broken in several places. They didn't die but became grievously injured.

Then the white line appeared several times again, it was the crystal toad's tongue! Lu Xia Tian suddenly remembered the scene of him and his father tending to the crops in his childhood, where frogs preyed on insects. A chill ran down his spine instantly, the crystal toad was quite close to him, attacking several times in a row. If he were attacked by this demon beast equivalent to a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, even with good luck, he would be seriously injured at best. Surrounded as he was, there was no way to escape. Lu Xia Tian panicked, but seeing the two people who had fallen, an idea suddenly struck him, and he feigned falling to the ground.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

A white line appeared numerous times, and the crystal toad appeared too suddenly. At least sixty to seventy casual cultivators were caught off guard and died in the crystal toad's surprise attack. The lake where the crystal toad appeared turned blood red. At this time, the cultivators reacted, and various low-level spells rained down.

The crystal toad, despite being struck dozens or even hundreds of spells in the blink of an eye, suffered little harm. It fell into the water and, as if it were transparent, vanished suddenly. A moment later, it reappeared at the center of the lake, leisurely basking as if in disdain for all the cultivators.

"Damn frog." Lu Xia Tian crawled up from the ground, a shiver running down his spine. In the surging crowd, he had been stepped on dozens of times at least. However, in the direction he had just been standing, there were now several corpses lying around. Compared to that, being stepped on a few times was nothing.

"Revenge!"

Suddenly, dozens of people were killed. Many of the cultivators were relatives and friends of these people, instantly causing a surge in public anger. Those who had just wanted to kill the Crystal Toad were now among those outraged. Could it be that only cultivators could kill demon beasts but demon beasts couldn't fight back Lu Xiaoteng felt a chill in his heart and brushed off the dust on his clothes. After the previous lesson, he retreated to the outermost edge of the crowd, finally feeling safe.

At this time, the scattered cultivators finally calmed down and realized that they could not defeat the fourth-order Crystal Toad in the lake. Soon, a cultivator suggested digging a canal to drain the water. There were many low valleys and ravines all over the mountains, so as long as a canal was dug, there would be no shortage of places to release water. As long as the water was drained, the cultivators could join forces to encircle and kill this fourth-order demonic beast.

After the plan was agreed upon, the cultivators immediately got to work. Many of the weapon-crafting cultivators forged spirit shovels suitable for digging canals on the spot, while some directly used their spirit knives and spirit swords. If it were ordinary mortals, it would be impossible to dig such a canal in the mountains without several years of effort. However, these cultivators completed the canal within just a few days.

As the gushing lake water flowed out through the canal, the shadowy depths of the lake gradually revealed their true colors.

"White Colocasia!"

“Water Spirit Stone!”

"Ice Spirit Stone!"

As the lake bed emerged, some spiritual creatures were also exposed to the eyes of the scattered cultivators. Many of them were even items required for sect missions.

Some impatient wandering cultivators, seeing that the lake water was gradually receding and still no trace of the crystal toad appeared, began to wade into the lake to pick up nearby spirit stones and gather herbs.

"Damn it, these bastards are actually going down now They're really not afraid of death." Someone cursed a couple of times. Seeing that dozens of people were going down one after another, they couldn't sit still either. They propped up their spiritual shields and started stepping into the mud.

“Haha, I got three Ice Spirit Stones! Damn it, who used Fireball on me Come out and face me!”

But who would stand up and admit it at this time Blame him for being too ostentatious. Several low-level spells were released by jealous people, hitting the middle-aged man just now, causing him to cry out in pain.

As more and more people reaped the benefits, more and more flocked to the lake. Those cultivators at the peak of their Qi refinement journey turned ashen, but the situation was completely out of control, not something they could reverse.

Lu Xia Tian mingled with the crowd and did not directly go into the lake. Although these spiritual creatures were valuable, after experiencing the previous hardship, he would not easily go down until he saw the crystal toad.

“Ah, my leg!” Suddenly, a scream pierced through the crowd. A blue demonic crab emerged from the mud, wielding a pair of giant claws. One of them was clearly clutching a broken leg.
