"Kill the Crystal Toad, snatch the Yao Dan, and snatch the spiritual item!" Although there were many experts present, they were weak and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits. It was not something that one or two experts could stop. It was unknown who shouted, but the scattered loose cultivators released their own spells and smashed them into the small lake.
Fire, wind, earth, and all kinds of spells caused the calm lake to become like a pot of boiling water, with surging waves. Droplets of water splashed everywhere.
"Stop, this won't be effective and will only waste magic power. Only by draining the water from the lake can we force the Crystal Toad to appear." An old man who seemed to be quite powerful used a sound transmission technique to shout to the surroundings.
"Nonsense, I can definitely force that beast out with the Lightning Strike Technique." A retort came from the crowd, followed by a thunderous voice. It hit the old man just a few feet away, and a thick electric arc entered the water. Lu Xiaotian, who was slightly closer to the lake, could feel the numbness from the lightning.
At this time, the lake was too chaotic, and all kinds of elementary spells were cast one after another. However, no one noticed that under the churning lake, there was an inconspicuous whirlpool.
Whoosh, something jumped out of the water. Suddenly, there was a burst of screams. It turned out to be a huge toad that was five feet square in size, and its entire body was transparent like water. A terrifying aura spread out from the toad as it came out of the water.
"Ah, a demonic beast!"
The loose cultivators who were closer to the lake retreated in horror. Although they shouted that they wanted to kill the Crystal Toad, when the Crystal Toad came out of the water, they suddenly remembered that it was a Rank Four Demonic Beast after sensing its unparalleled aura. It was a tyrannical existence that no one present could compare with.
The Crystal Toad was also very annoyed. It was resting at the bottom of the lake, and when it occasionally came out of the lake and was seen by the human cultivators, it attracted so many people. Originally, most of the beginner level spells would not affect him even if they hit the surface of the lake. However, there were a few thunder-type spells that made him feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it decided to come out and teach these ants a lesson.
Whoosh! An arrow-like thing was spat out from the Crystal Toad's mouth, but it was not an arrow, but a thread-like thing. Almost no one could see the thread-like thing clearly. It only flashed in front of their eyes for a moment before shrinking back.
However, the moment this line appeared, several screams rang out one after another.
Lu Xiaotian focused his gaze and saw that about a zhang away from him, six or seven rogue cultivators who were standing in a line had a bloody hole in their chests. When the white line retracted, it brought out large chunks of flesh. Some of them were struck in their vitals and died on the spot. Some of them might have missed their footing by a bit and only had a large chunk of their flesh and a few of their bones broken. Even if they didn't die, they were still seriously injured.
Then, the white line appeared a few more times. It was the tongue of the crystal toad! Lu Xiaotian suddenly remembered the scene when he and his father were taking care of the crops in the field when they were young, and the scene when the frogs preyed on the fruits. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart. The crystal toad was quite close to him and had attacked him several times. If he was hit by this demonic beast that was equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage, he would be seriously injured if he was lucky. At this moment, he was completely surrounded by people. He couldn't escape even if he wanted to. Lu Xiaotian panicked, but when he saw one or two people fall down, he suddenly had an idea. He also pretended to lie down on the ground.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
The white line appeared more than ten times in a row. The crystal toad's appearance was so sudden that at least sixty or seventy rogue cultivators died under the crystal toad's surprise attack. The lake water where the crystal toad appeared turned blood red. At this moment, the cultivators finally reacted. All kinds of beginner level spells were violently thrown.
In the blink of an eye, the crystal toad was hit by hundreds of spells, but it didn't suffer much damage. When it fell into the water, the originally transparent toad suddenly disappeared. After a while, it surfaced in the center of the lake. Its leisurely appearance seemed to be looking down on all the cultivators.
"This damned toad." Lu Xiaotian crawled up from the ground with lingering fear. In the turbulent crowd, he was at least stepped on by dozens of feet. However, there were a few more corpses in the direction where he was standing just now. In comparison, being stepped on by a few feet was nothing.
"Revenge!"
Suddenly, dozens of people died. Many of the cultivators were the friends and relatives of these people. Immediately, the crowd became agitated. The ones who shouted to kill the crystal toad were also these people. Could it be that only cultivators could kill demonic beasts, but demonic beasts couldn't fight back? Lu Xiaotian sneered in his heart. He patted the dust off his body. With the lesson just now, he retreated to the outermost edge of the crowd to feel safe.
At this moment, the rogue cultivators finally calmed down. They realized that they couldn't defeat the fourth rank crystal toad in the lake. Soon, a cultivator proposed to dig a canal to release the water. There were low-lying valleys and canyons in the mountains. As long as they dug a canal, they wouldn't have to worry about not having a place to release water. As long as the water was released, the cultivators could join forces to kill the fourth rank demonic beast.
After the plan was agreed, the cultivators immediately began to work. There were also many refining cultivators who created spirit shovels that were useful for digging canals. Some directly used spirit sabers and spirit swords. If a mortal wanted to dig such a canal in the mountains, it would be impossible without several years of hard work. However, for these cultivators, it only took a few days of hard work to dig the canal.
As the lake water flowed along the canal, the true face of the deep and serene bottom of the lake was gradually revealed.
"Spring Water Algae!"
"White Heyu!"
"Water Spirit Stone!"
"Ice Spirit Stone!"
As the bottom of the lake was revealed, some of the spiritual objects inside were exposed to the eyes of the rogue cultivators. Many of them were items required by the sect's missions.
A few impatient rogue cultivators saw that the lake water was getting lower and there was no sign of the crystal toad. They began to go down to the lake to pick up some spirit stones and spirit herbs.
"Damn, these bastards are actually going down now. They really aren't afraid of death." Someone cursed. Seeing that there were dozens of people going down, he couldn't sit still anymore. He raised a spirit barrier and began to step on the mud.
"Haha, I got three Ice Spirit Stones! Damn, who threw a fireball at me? Come out if you have the guts! "
However, who would stand out and admit it at this time? If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame himself for being too ostentatious. Several more Elementary Spells were released by the jealous people, smashing the middle-aged man who had been hit just now and making him cry out loudly.
As more and more people obtained benefits, more and more people began to go down the lake. Those arrogant peak Qi Refinement cultivators immediately turned ashen. However, the situation had completely gone out of control. It wasn't something they could reverse.
Lu Xiaotian mixed in with the crowd and didn't directly go down the lake. Although these spiritual objects were precious, he had suffered before. He wouldn't easily go down until he saw the crystal toad.
