"That's …!"
Li Yunxiao was taken aback. His eyes flashed as a beam of light shot out from the ground, swallowing Lil 'Red and the puppet!
"Ah?!"
Everyone in the sky was shocked, and they hurriedly flew up into the sky to avoid being affected by the unknown thing.
Li Yunxiao, Qu Hongyan, and Fei Ni stood where they were without moving. They quietly looked at the huge beam of light, which slowly became smaller and smaller, disappearing into the sky.
There was a hole in the ground that was about half an acre in size, and inside it was a cave that was hundreds of feet deep.
Qu Hongyan and Fei Ni suddenly screamed, their faces turning pale. They saw a giant toad squatting at the entrance of the cave. It was as tall as a person, and it was staring at them with its lantern-sized eyes.
Qu Hongyan calmed herself down. Although the toad's aura was terrifying, it was not as terrifying as its appearance. To women, its appearance was extremely lethal.
Fei Ni's face paled as she hid behind Li Yunxiao and said with a trembling voice, "That Lil 'Red just now … was eaten … eaten by this thing …"
When the beam of light shot out, everyone retreated in shock. Only the three of them did not move, so they saw it clearly.
That beam of light came from the toad's mouth. Everything that was sucked into the beam, including the puppet, was swallowed by the toad.
Li Yunxiao and the toad stared at each other for a while before saying, "This thing is definitely an ancient mutated species. There's most likely another space in its stomach. Otherwise, when it swallowed just now, not only did it swallow Lil 'Red and the puppet, but it also swallowed a large amount of soil and rocks.
"Then … then is Lil 'Red dead?"
Fei Ni asked in a daze. She gathered her courage and walked out from behind Li Yunxiao. She had the bloodline of the Heavenly Phoenix, and even in the ancient times, she was one of the strongest. There was no reason for her to be afraid of a toad.
Li Yunxiao laughed, "It's not like you don't know Lil 'Red's situation. How could a mere ancient species kill her? I think this toad is most likely out of luck."
After a brief moment of shock, Wan Qianqian and the others quickly understood the situation and flew down.
Wan Qian asked, "Brother Feiyang, is the Celestial Venerable well?"
Li Yunxiao glared at him and said angrily, "How can he be well after being eaten?"
"Hehe."
Wan Qianqi awkwardly smiled. He knew that his cowardice had displeased Li Yunxiao, so he let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Feiyang, do you think we should enter the cave?"
Mu Xu used his Magical Eyes to check for a while and said with amazement, "This is not a cave. It's just a cave, and a hole has been blown out! The aura within this toad's body was extremely ferocious. It was indeed an ancient species. Even if it wasn't a True Spirit, it wasn't far from it. The worst thing is, I'm afraid there's more than one of these beasts! "
Qu Hongyan took out the detector and saw countless light spots flashing on it, all pointing to the underground.
Even Li Yunxiao's face changed. If all the beasts were as strong as this toad, they would be lucky to leave this place alive, let alone find the Heavy Equipment Tower.
"What … what should we do …"
Not only was Wan Qianqian stunned, but everyone else also fell silent. This underground space was obviously an ancient world full of ferocious beasts.
"Gulp!"
Suddenly, a sound came from the stomach of the toad below. In an instant, it expanded to twice its original size, and its entire body became round and bulging.
"Gua! Gua! Gua! "
The toad's body expanded like a balloon, and in a few blinks, it was about to block the entrance of the cave. The toad's eyes were filled with ferocity. It suddenly opened its mouth and shot out beams of light!
"Boom! Boom! "
Beams of light shot out one after another. It was not a deliberate attack. It seemed that the toad was venting its anger.
Its round body kept changing shape. Black ripples spread out from its snow-white belly. "Bang! Bang!" The sound made the toad tremble.
The black demonic patterns seemed to have washed the toad's entire body. The cysts on its back began to crack, and green liquid flowed out. The liquid splashed around and made a sizzling sound. The solid rock layer was melted.
"Blargh!"
The toad's body was shaking, and a large amount of white liquid flowed out of its mouth. The elder of the Mu Family fixed his eyes on the liquid and showed a pained expression. The liquid contained the remains of the puppets.
"Gulp, gulp."
The white belly kept expanding with the ripples of the demonic patterns. Finally, the toad was too round and fell backward. Immediately, its belly was facing the sky.
"Puchi!"
Suddenly, a spark appeared on the white belly. It was invisible and invisible. It was the Evil Ice Heart Flame. The whole belly was burning like a piece of paper.
The four limbs of the toad twitched and stopped moving completely. In a blink of an eye, it was burned to ashes.
A beam of white light shot out, and Little Red appeared in front of everyone. She was wearing a white dress with a bright red flower printed on it, fluttering in the wind.
"Damned toad, how dare you swallow this seat!"
Little Red's expression was extremely gloomy. Being swallowed by the toad caused her to be extremely furious, and it seemed as if burning the toad to ashes wasn't enough to vent her hatred. She suddenly punched down from the sky, and with a bang, a large hole was blasted open where the toad stood.
Only then did she snort angrily and stand to the side.
Everyone stared at the deep crater in silence.
Wan Qianqian said in a daze, "What should we do now? Does anyone have an idea? We can't just stand here and watch, can we?"
Li Yunxiao propped up his chin and pondered. "Why don't we wait for the people from Heaven's Moat Cliff to come and let them lead the way?"
Wan Qianqian was shocked and hurriedly said, "We can't do that. When the people from Heaven's Moat Cliff arrive, how much share will we have?"
Li Yunxiao asked nonchalantly, "Then does Brother Qianqian have an idea?"
Wan Qianqian pretended to think for a while before saying, "In Brother's humble opinion, although this underground grotto-heaven is dangerous, it won't stump us. That toad's ferocious aura just now was still easily obliterated by the Venerable Sky. We only need to choose a leader to scout ahead, and everyone else will follow behind him carefully. We'll cover him and take care of him. That way, we'll be absolutely safe. "
Li Yunxiao's eyes flashed and he hurriedly cupped his fists. "Brother Qianqian is indeed wise! Then the leader will be none other than Brother Qianqian! "
Wan Qianqian cursed Li Yunxiao a hundred times in his heart before declining. "Brother Feiyang thinks too highly of my methods. It's not that I'm unwilling, it's that I don't have the ability."
"Oh, so Brother Qianqian didn't propose this plan to take the lead yourself, but to let someone else take the lead?"
Li Yunxiao's expression turned cold as he said indifferently, "Then in Brother Qianqian's opinion, who should be the leader?"
Wan Qianqian swept his gaze over everyone and chuckled. "In Brother Qianqian's opinion, the two strongest among us are none other than the Venerable Sky and Palace Master Hong."
Lil 'Red's expression changed and she sneered. "I'm not interested in this grotto-heaven. It's full of disgusting monsters. If you want to go, you can go!"
Thinking about how she had been swallowed by the toad, she still felt nauseous and her face turned green.
Lil 'Red said again, "Jing Qi, after you find the Heavy Equipment Pagoda, send a signal and I'll come back."
Jing Qi immediately bowed and replied, "Yes."
Li Yunxiao also sneered. "Brother Qianqian, do you mean to let the women lead the way? How could a dozen men do such a thing? "
Everyone's face turned red. Wan Qianqian was also a little embarrassed. "Then who does Brother Qianqian think should be the leader? In short, I can't bear such a heavy responsibility. "
Wan Qianqian was used to being thick-skinned, so everyone was used to it. Although it was embarrassing to be thick-skinned, at least he could keep his life.
Everyone thought to themselves that the Myriad Treasures Pagoda had stood strong for so many years. At the very least, they wouldn't put themselves in danger.
Mu Zhuang said, "How about this? I have a method that I'm not sure will work. All the men come over to draw lots. Those who win will lead the way. How about that? "
"Yes, that's a great idea."
Li Yunxiao immediately agreed. The Mu Family had the most people, so their chances of winning were also the highest. Moreover, this was the fairest method. Those who won could only blame their bad luck.
Wan Qianqian thought about it and readily agreed. He also thought that his chances of winning were too small.
Mu Zhuang smiled and immediately waved his hand. More than a dozen swords shot out, all of them stabbing into the ground and trembling brightly.
"Among these swords, one of them has a red tip."
Everyone frowned. There was an unusual flow of energy on the ground that interfered with divine sense. They really couldn't find out which sword had a red tip.
Everyone secretly blamed themselves for being careless. They couldn't keep a close eye on Mu Zhuang when he made his move.
"Haha."
Li Yunxiao smiled inexplicably and said, "Lord Mu Zhuang is indeed smart." Then, he pointed in the air and a sword immediately flew up. He grabbed it in his hand. The tip was bright and colorless. Obviously, it didn't win.
The others were quite disappointed. Many braced themselves and grabbed the sword in the air as well.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! "
The sound of swords rang out continuously.
"Haha, you didn't win. Great!"
Most people were excited that they didn't win.
Wan Qianqian's expression changed slightly. He immediately felt the pressure. After scanning with his divine sense, he grabbed with his five fingers. "Whoosh!" A sword flew up and landed in his hand.
"Ah!"
Wan Qianqian sucked in a breath of cold air. His entire person was stunned. The tip of the sword was half a finger wide. It was scarlet and stained with blood.
"No, that's impossible!"
He didn't believe it. He shouted angrily and swung his sleeve. All the swords stabbed into the ground flew into the air. The tips of all the swords were colorless.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
Wan Qianqian's face turned ashen. The swords immediately fell to the ground and scattered like garbage, as if they were worthless. He stared at the sword in his hand. The scarlet dot was particularly glaring.
Li Yunxiao clapped his hands in praise. He smiled and said, "Lord Mu Zhuang is indeed skillful. The moment the sword fell, it just happened to stab a mouse to death. That's why it was stained with blood. Tsk tsk, Brother Yiqian just happened to get it."
