Chapter 296 Encounter

Spiritual energy gently rippled around the five-eyed toad, and the surrounding grass seemed to be sucked towards it. A whole circle of grass clung to the ground with it as the center. The scene looked a little weird for a moment.

Luo Xuanyi stared intently at the five closed eyes of the Five-Eyed Toad, feeling a surge of spiritual energy flowing into them. The Five-Eyed Toad seemed to be struggling, but as the immense spiritual energy poured in, one of its eyes slowly opened, reflecting the scene.

It was a vast expanse of emerald water, the moonlight reflected on the water. Countless crystal-clear pebbles lay at the bottom of the river, reflecting the moonlight and making the water as beautiful as a starry sky. But at first glance, no demonic beasts or spirit animals were visible.

However, this river water is very unique. There are five streams on this mountain that flow down the mountain and merge into a river. Luo Xuanyi plans to go there first to take a look.

The five-eyed toad blinked, and the image instantly vanished. Wearily, it stopped pouring spiritual energy into its eyes. Apparently, the spiritual energy consumed from investigating the demon beasts and spirit beasts was too much for it to sustain.

Luo Xuanyi immediately took out the Soul-Returning Pills, poured out three of them, and fed them to the dog, caressing it gently and soothingly. The Soul-Returning Pills were too low quality, so she mobilized the medicinal fluid in her body and prepared to refine a batch of sixth-grade Soul-Returning Powder.

"You did a great job." Luo Xuanyi thought for a moment, "Shall I give you a name?"

The Five-Eyed Toad, having swallowed the Huiling Pill to replenish its spiritual power, raised its head upon hearing this, its five eyes opening as it gazed expectantly at Luo Xuanyi. Its entire body sometimes turned ochre, sometimes a hint of dark green, seemingly changing with the amount of spiritual power it used.

Luo Xuanyi thought for a moment and her eyes fell on the five eyes marked on its head.

When the five-eyed toad does not activate its ability to peek, its eyeballs are light yellow, and its five eyes are like five full moons gathered on top of its head.

Luo Xuanyi suddenly realized that she had no talent for naming. Her name was also a combination of words with good meanings found in books, but having a name is better than having no name at all.

"Well, I'll call you Longyue."

The five-eyed toad croaked in delight, and from then on, it was called Longyue. Longyue coquettishly nudged Luo Xuanyi's palm, and she smiled as she took out the refined sixth-grade Linghuan powder and fed it to Longyue.

Listening to the happy sounds here, the caller couldn't help but jump up.

"I want a name too! Bo Huixiao, give me a name!"

"Didn't you faint?" Luo Xuanyi said calmly, "Let's go when you wake up."

"I won't leave, you are biased!" The caller rushed over like an accusation, pointing at Longyue, whose spiritual power was replenished on the ground. He was about to say something, but Luo Xuanyi held his fingers with both hands.

The caller was startled, then saw Luo Xuanyi showing a gentle smile and whispering, "How could I be partial? I haven't moved yet just because I want you to move with me. Come, stand in front of me, let's go."

The skinny dog lying on Luo Xuanyi's shoulder trembled slightly. Long Yue, lying on the ground, was confused. Huzhe stood in front of Luo Xuanyi, feeling dizzy, and turned around to ask her, "Really?"

"Of course." Luo Xuanyi pushed Huzhe and began to walk down the mountain. Longyue followed closely behind her. "I feel safe only when you are around. I must watch your back. Come on, let's go. You take me with you."

"oh oh!"

The caller suddenly put on a silly smile, and walked down in front of Luo Xuanyi with a heroic and confident stride, completely unaware that he was acting as Luo Xuanyi's meat shield and pathfinder.

Luo Xuanyi followed the path he explored with a smile, slowing down her pace to keep a safe distance and giving soft instructions.

"Just go down..."

"The grass here is too tall, try stepping on it..."

"Are you really okay? You're so brave..."

Luo Xuanyi has completely mastered the use of the caller. He has no resistance to some nice words. As long as he is slightly discouraged and relies on him again, he will be in a state of ecstasy and can't think of anything else. He can only let Luo Xuanyi command him.

However, perhaps there is another reason that the caller mistook Luo Xuanyi for Bo Huixiao.

Waist-high grass grew in clumps on the ground. Strangely, this mountain had almost no soil, and the grass leaves sprouted directly from the rocks. Luo Xuanyi pinched a piece of grass and smelled it. It was just an ordinary weed, without any medicinal value.

A little further down the mountain, the sound of gurgling water suddenly appeared from the right side of the caller, circling in front of him, then turning and flowing straight down. The stream was crystal clear and icy cold, with no sign of any living creatures.

The caller really went straight down the mountain, following the water without going around it. Luo Xuanyi followed slowly by the stream, and finally saw that the grass gradually became sparse and the view became wider.

The stream gurgles and flows into the small river in front of you.

The river stretched out flat, covering the entire flat land between the two mountains as far as the eye could see. The clear water reflected the moonlight, and the tiny sparks of light that filtered through the rippling water resembled dancing fireflies. At night, the view was truly breathtaking.

Unfortunately, neither Huzhe nor Luo Xuanyi knew how to appreciate it. Huzhe squatted down and stared at the faint light in the river in a daze, while Luo Xuanyi compared the scene before her with what Longyue had seen.

Since this river does exist, it means that Longyue's ability to spy on people is still effective. Therefore, there must be demonic beasts and spirit beasts in this river.

But I can't see anything unusual. Could it be a colorless and invisible species, or is it hiding?

At this moment, the caller suddenly let out a scream, his whole body leaned back, and a stream of cold water brushed across his face!

"Ah! The stone is alive!"

Luo Xuanyi instantly radiated a deathly aura, her body on guard, and stood still, staring at the attacked Huzhe. It turned out that Huzhe had just seen the glowing stones in the water and, curious, had scooped up a piece to play with. Suddenly, the beautiful jade stone leaped up and slashed at him with a water blade.

The caller threw the jade stone back into the water in a hurry, then climbed up with lingering fear and said aggrievedly, "It's just a look, why are you in such a hurry?"

The emerald stone fell back into the water and suddenly began to move. Then, the entire river surface suddenly erupted in a violent, pulsating light. Countless emerald stones floated up from the riverbed. The originally weak light instantly illuminated the valley floor, and for a moment, it was like the rising sun!

“Hmm!”

This light was no ordinary beam; it stung Luo Xuanyi. She relied on her death energy to capture her surroundings, and the pervasive light caused her death energy to simultaneously reflect countless blinding blazes. She decisively cut off her line of sight, scooped up the five-eyed toad, and leaped backward.

The skinny dog on the shoulder barked in the direction of the caller, but the caller remained standing where he was.

Luo Xuanyi ignored the caller. She cut off her sight, but her perception remained. Under the deadly aura, she felt a chill suddenly emerge from the darkness, rapidly spreading across the original river surface before leaping up to form a massive icy ridge!

However, the perceived attack did not come towards him, he only heard the caller shouting in dissatisfaction.

"Why are you hitting only me?"
