Chapter 210: 130 Snow Pupil Toad_1

A vast expanse of green bamboo forest, where Xu Yunfeng, Xu Yiqing, and a woman in a black dress with striking features were besieging a huge spider with a body of green. The giant spider was covered with wounds, and beneath its abdomen were eight sharp claws like long spears.

Not far away lay two huge spiders with two large holes in their heads, oozing blood continuously, lifeless.

Xu Yunfeng held a feather fan glowing with a red light in his hand, which he gently waved, and dozens of red fireballs flew out, successively striking the giant spider’s body.

A tremendous roar followed and flames engulfed the giant spider’s body.

Xu Yiqing pinched out a spell, and five green flying darts burst forth with bright light, shooting straight toward the giant spider.

The giant spider waved its sharp claws, blocking the incoming green flying darts.

A few "clang clang" sounds of metal clashing followed, and all five green flying darts were reflected back.

A gust of cold wind blew past, and a green-faced ghost with fierce fangs appeared behind the giant spider, its nails black and slender.

The ghost opened its mouth to spew a black ghostly fire and its fingers turned into blades, heading straight for the giant spider.

The giant spider tried to dodge, but dozens of thick green vines shot up from the ground, entangling its body, and the ghost’s sharp claws pierced through the giant spider’s head.

"Finally resolved. Thankfully, the three of us stuck together. As long as we don’t meet a tier-three monster beast, there should be no problem," said the woman in the black dress with a smile.

"If only we could run into Shen Long, we could take this opportunity to get rid of him," Xu Yiqing said, his eyes filled with cold light.

Shen Long had also entered the Secret Realm to search for treasures; treasure seekers were all scattered about. If they ran into Shen Long, they naturally wouldn’t let him get away.

"The Secret Realm is vast; it’s not easy to run into him. Let’s focus on collecting cultivation resources first," Xu Yunfeng said.

"That’s not necessarily true; enemies often meet on a narrow path!"

An icy male voice sounded.

No sooner had the voice faded, a shrill sound of piercing the air rose, and a dense swarm of golden arrows shot towards them.

Xu Yunfeng and the others were taken aback and about to cast spells to defend themselves when a sharp, piercing scream rang out in their ears, causing Xu Yiqing and the woman in black to feel as if their heads were being hammered, making them dizzy and disoriented.

Xu Yunfeng showed no signs of distress. A small green lock on his chest lit up, emitting a dazzling light as a sturdy green light barrier flashed into existence, shielding his entire body.

A barrage of golden arrows pierced through the bodies of the fierce ghost, Xu Yiqing, and the woman in black, whose faces showed an expression of disbelief as they fell.

The Iron Tail Scorpion burrowed out from underground and sprayed a stream of yellow poison fire, which landed on the green light barrier, causing it to emit green smoke and dim its spiritual light.

The Gold-Winged Windroc descended from the sky, its claws striking the green light barrier, which shattered as easily as paper, and Xu Yunfeng’s head was perforated by the claws of the Gold-Winged Windroc.

A shadow swept by and Shen Long appeared with an indifferent expression.

"To think of plotting against me from behind, I wouldn’t give you the chance," Shen Long said, his expression cold.

If he didn’t eliminate Xu Yiqing and Xu Yunfeng today, they would be a huge hidden danger, possibly causing trouble for Shen Long any day.

This time, thanks to the Pursuing Spirit Beast, Shen Long might not have encountered the three of them otherwise.

They had just stepped into the range of the Pursuing Spirit Beast’s Divine Sense and then deviated from it. Without the warning from the Pursuing Spirit Beast, Shen Long might not have been able to discover them later, even with the aid of the Hundred Eyes Cicada to scout ahead.

Shen Long searched the bodies and took out three Storage Bags, emptying out their contents.

There were a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, five supreme Magic Artifacts, and more than six hundred Spiritual Medicines, the oldest of which was a five-hundred-year-old Qingfeng Grass.

"Eh, the maps overlap!"

Shen Long uttered a light exclamation, holding in his hand a red Beast Hide, which was a map he had found on a corpse.

He combined the map given by Ice Silkworm True Person with the map from the Barbarian Cultivator’s body and discovered some overlapping areas; he could find the Five-Colored Yuzhi Fruit Tree based on the three maps.

Shen Long cast out three fiery-red fireballs, incinerating the corpse.

He put away the Gold Ants and the Gold-Winged Windroc, released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, and fed it a tiny golden fruit.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada’s eyes shone with a blinding golden light, revealing no Spiritual Medicine within fifty li, though there were a few Monster Beasts.

The Iron Tail Scorpion’s body glowed yellow and burrowed underground; the Hundred Eyes Cicada flew in a northeast direction, with Shen Long following closely behind.

Along the way, Shen Long encountered many second-tier Monster Beasts, none of which were a match for him, but they significantly slowed his pace.

Five days later, Shen Long appeared outside a spacious valley. Inside the valley, not a blade of grass grew, and the Hundred Eyes Cicada was right in front of him.

"Snow Pupil Toad!"

Shen Long’s face became grave.

According to intelligence, a Snow Pupil Toad was guarding the Five-Colored Yuzhi Fruit Tree. They were Mutant Demon Beasts with mastery over ice-sealing Divine Skills. His Divine Sense had already scouted the area and detected a Snow Pupil Toad inside a cave in the valley, just like the report.

Shen Long’s Divine Sense picked up a strong presence approaching him.

His expression changed, and he quickly withdrew the Hundred Eyes Cicada. The Iron Tail Scorpion emerged from the ground, its body emitting a yellow light barrier that enveloped Shen Long and carried him underground.

Before long, a white Escape Light flew in from afar, revealing a huge Snow Pupil Toad, which was a third-tier Monster Beast.

With a push off its hind legs, the Snow Pupil Toad leaped up, landing in the middle of the gorge. There was a large cave in the valley, and the Snow Pupil Toad entered the cave.

Deep underground, in a space a hundred zhang in size, Shen Long stood on the back of the Iron Tail Scorpion, with the Hundred Eyes Cicada in front of him.

He frowned deeply, "There is actually a third-tier Monster Beast, this complicates things."

Originally, the Human Clan and the Barbarian Tribe had sent some Cultivators into the Secret Realm to scout. The scouting did not last long, and it was possible that the third-tier Snow Pupil Toad had gone out, which was why it was not reported.

Wait for the third-tier Snow Pupil Toad to go out again? Shen Long quickly dismissed the idea.

The Secret Realm would only be open for a month—who could say when the Snow Pupil Toad would go out again?

With two Snow Pupil Toads, the third-tier would go out to forage, while the second-tier stayed to guard the cave. This was somewhat strange; wouldn’t it be better for the third-tier Snow Pupil Toad to guard the nest?

Shen Long thought of something, and gave an order to the Hundred Eyes Cicada. Its eyes emitted a dazzling golden light.

"So it turns out the one guarding is the female toad, and she is pregnant, no wonder."

Shen Long had an epiphany; with the help of the Hundred Eyes Cicada, he found out that the second-tier Snow Pupil Toad was pregnant.

Monster Beasts also cherish their mates. No wonder the third-tier Snow Pupil Toad went out foraging.

Shen Long’s eyes shifted; he had a rough plan, but it required cooperation from someone else; he could not accomplish it alone.

"Let’s go, take a look around in other places, hoping to encounter other Cultivators."

Shen Long said.

The Iron Tail Scorpion, understanding Shen Long’s words, wrapped in the yellow light barrier, swiftly moved forward, leaving the area.
