Chapter 1474: Chapter 583: Surprise and Amazement [8,000-Word Chapter Subscription Requested]_4

The Flood Dragon is the king of water, and Baibai, the Thunder Flood Dragon as a Fourth-Order Flood Dragon, has the ability to escape even when encountering superior Fourth-Order Demon Beasts underwater. Zhou Chun is not worried about its safety.

Patiently waiting on the shore for nearly half a day, he finally sees Baibai returning.

However, the answer brought back by Baibai leaves Zhou Chun somewhat disappointed.

"Couldn’t find it? It seems Wu Yishan’s words have their truth!"

He mutters under his breath, and chooses to retrieve Baibai into the Spirit Beast Pouch, patiently breaking into the lakeside of the Ice Lake, and silently waits.

If that Fourth-Order Toad-Type Beast does exist, then it’s certain that it will return to Fish Eye Ice Lake, since leaving this place makes a good meal difficult.

Equipped with the Purifying Heavenly Vessel, Zhou Chun can still meditate and train comfortably on this ice field, although not as effective as in his own abode.

Therefore, he can afford to wait.

Time slowly passes, and in the blink of an eye, half a year goes by.

In this half year, two Fourth-Order Magical Beasts have visited Fish Eye Ice Lake, both coming to hunt for food in their hunger.

They soon leave after a satisfying meal, without any intention to stay long.

Zhou Chun has considered hunting these Fourth-Order Magical Beasts.

But after careful weighing, he restrains his greed and patiently waits for his target to appear.

Fourth-Order Magical Beasts have considerable intelligence; Zhou Chun fears that acting nearby might alert his target, or worse, get encircled by other Fourth-Order Magical Beasts.

Once a Fourth-Order Magical Beast has feasted, as long as it doesn’t move often, it can survive without food for years.

So Zhou Chun has no idea how long he must wait to encounter his target.

He can only set himself a boundary of three years’ time.

If the time passes without results, he will immediately return to the Ice Barbarian Country!

Having stayed at Fish Eye Ice Lake for a long time, Zhou Chun has witnessed its wonders.

Even during blizzards lasting more than a month, the Fish Eye Ice Lake’s surface shrinks only slightly, at most developing a thin ice layer over the majority.

Soon after the blizzard stops, the frozen surface quickly thaws.

Zhou Chun is not very clear why this is the case.

He only knows that the temperature of the lake water is indeed quite warm, not reaching a freezing point.

However, Zhou Chun’s luck seems to hold up.

Roughly sixteen months into his stay at Fish Eye Ice Lake, he finally finds his target.

On this day, Zhou Chun performs his usual routine, meditating in the ice cave.

Suddenly, a thunderous toad cry echoes from outside, causing him to open his eyes abruptly and rush out of the ice cave.

Cautiously restraining his aura, he arrives at a high ground, peering toward the source of the toad cry.

Around a hundred miles away, at the icy lakeside, the flock of Red Claw White Swan in the lake is hurriedly taking flight, emitting cries of distress as they swiftly ascend away from the lake.

Despite this, several adult Red Claw White Swans fail to escape in time, frozen by beams of white ice light on the lake surface.

A White Giant Toad opens its large mouth, chewing and swallowing the Red Claw White Swans one by one.

Zhou Chun sees this scene, and an old saying pops into his mind, "A toad eating swan meat!"

Red Claw White Swans are much rarer and more formidable than swans.

They are true intermediate Demon Beasts, with the lead swan even being a Third-Order Beast.

Yet even so, faced with the White Giant Toad, a mid-level Fourth-Order Magical Beast, they cannot escape becoming prey.

This White Giant Toad spans seven to eight zhang from head to tail, with a belly that seems capable of swallowing mountains and seas.

The Red Claw White Swans, slightly smaller, fail to fill its stomach with just one or two.

Only after devouring five in one go does it emit a satisfied cry, subsequently gulping down a large quantity of white shrimp and lake water, treating them as dessert and beverages.

After eating and drinking its fill, the beast does not rush to leave; instead, it floats on the lake waters, eyes shut in rest.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun feels a stirring in his heart and forms a plan.

Truthfully, Zhou Chun does not recognize the White Giant Toad’s origins.

The creature appears somewhat similar to the Third-Order Ice Toad he previously killed, but upon closer inspection, he notices the silver spots on its white skin, absent in the Ice Toad.

The silver spots themselves are faint in color and not conspicuous against the white, except for an obvious silver mark atop its head.

But recognizing the White Giant Toad’s origins is not crucial, so long as killing it reveals whether it’s the sought-after target.

To Zhou Chun, the mid-level Fourth-Order Magical Beast status of the White Giant Toad poses a significant challenge.

Yet it also means that if he successfully slays it, and it truly possesses the Greater Yin Moon Toad’s bloodline, he could directly use the Lifebound Essence Blood extracted from it to complete the Holy Spirit Nine Transformations - Moon Toad Chapter.

In light of this, Zhou Chun resolves to act without hesitation.

He stealthily moves to the opposite side of the Ice Lake, maintaining a distance of two to three hundred miles from the White Giant Toad’s location.
