Chapter 71
The process of refining this ghost blood toad is extremely cruel.
Thirty-three young boys were needed, their skin, flesh and bones peeled off, and then placed in a toad jar, where they were refined with witchcraft for sixty-six days and then fed with fresh blood of the dead for ninety-nine days.
The skin on its body is all human skin, and the flesh is also human flesh. It is equivalent to fusing thirty-three children together to form a big toad. No wonder I felt evil before it appeared.
If someone is eaten by it, the person will be transformed into a part of its body within the Ghost Blood Toad.
"Let's be careful not to get eaten by it," I said.
The ghost blood toad croaked and stretched out its tongue directly towards me.
I don't know why he is so interested in me and why he always targets me.
Zhang Song fired a shot, hitting the animal's tongue. It quickly withdrew its tongue, its eyes rolling around.
Then it spurted blood from its mouth and we quickly got out of the way.
As the dirty blood touched the ground, the ground made a hissing corrosion sound and a puff of white smoke rose.
Zhang Song fired two more shots at the beast, and its hide felt like steel, sparks flying off it.
"You have to hit its tongue," I said.
But now the ghost blood toad has learned its lesson. It doesn't stick out its tongue, but only spits out dirty blood.
We dodged repeatedly, but Mao Jianming was still splashed with blood. Fortunately, he was quick and took off his coat quickly before the dirty blood corroded his clothes.
"The bullets are almost gone, what should we do!" said Zhang Song.
"You guys hold it for a while, let me recover." I shouted.
The three of them tried their best to buy me time while I recovered my energy while dodging.
"I have no bullets left," said Mao Jianming.
"I have none either," said He Man.
"I still have two shots left," said Zhang Song.
They protected me behind them and asked, "How is it?"
"Not very good, less than one-third has recovered," I said.
This amount of energy is definitely not enough to deal with the ghost blood toad.
"I still have two grenades, so I can delay for a while." Zhang Song said.
Hearing this, I felt a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Song, I used those two grenades to blow up the second floor."
"I know, I still have two." Zhang Song said.
I was surprised to see him pull out two more grenades from somewhere, and subconsciously asked, "Where did you hide them?"
"In my pocket," he said.
As we were talking, the ghost-blood toad chirped.
We quickly covered our ears.
He Man was a woman after all, and her physical condition was not as good as Zhang Song and Mao Jianming. After the frog croaked, she froze in place with blood flowing from her ears.
No matter how we called her, she couldn't hear us.
Seeing her standing there blankly was very dangerous.
The ghost blood toad screamed again, and He Man actually began to walk towards it.
"Stop her!" I shouted hurriedly.
Before I could finish my words, Zhang Song pounced on He Man. The Ghost Blood Toad took this opportunity, opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, directly reaching out towards the two of them.
"The mighty Yang Yang, the sun rises in the east, the golden feathered arrow flies, and the evil is immediately slain."
A black arrow appeared in my hand. Without thinking, I immediately shot the arrow straight towards the ghost blood toad.
The arrow hit its eye, and it let out a shrill wail, but its tongue had already wrapped around Zhang Song and He Man, and it was retreating.
I gathered all my energy and fired another arrow. This one was fierce and accurate, hitting the Ghost Blood Toad's upper jaw.
The black arrow passed through its upper jaw and went straight into its head.
It was fixed by this arrow.
Zhang Song took this opportunity to throw the two grenades in his hand into its mouth.
The ghost-blood toad felt the pain, loosened its tongue, and began to jump around in place. Its chirping made our ears bleed.
I seized the opportunity, used my meager strength to draw a talisman and hit it.
This talisman only held it in place for three seconds, so we quickly threw ourselves to the ground.
There was a loud explosion and the entire platform began to shake.
The ghost blood toad was blown into pieces, and one of its broken legs fell next to me.
When I saw that they were clearly the legs of several children, my stomach churned and I started to retch.
The ghost blood toad was finally eliminated by us.
The treasure chests suddenly moved and were put into the niche by some mechanism while we were stunned.
Next to the treasure, a stone door slowly opened.
Behind the stone door was a pitch-black space. I shone my flashlight inside and saw the words "sacrifice one's life for justice" written on it.
"What does this mean?" Zhang Song asked.
The four of us were completely confused.
He Man went in with a flashlight and shone it on the wall, but found nothing except these four words.
Just as we were speculating on what this meant, a strange sound suddenly came from the platform. I looked back and saw that the Ghost Blood Toad, which had been blown to pieces, had transformed its flesh and blood into something that looked like a caterpillar.
"Ah!" He Man screamed and hid behind Zhang Song.
I get goosebumps seeing these bugs.
Their heads resembled human faces, and not only the platform but also the ceiling of the cave was covered with insects falling down. Wherever they passed, whether it was rock or soil, they devoured everything.
Now they formed a circle and advanced towards us.
"I hope they won't eat us till not even a bone is left!" said Mao Jianming.
At present, this is indeed the case.
I quickly turned around and studied the meaning of those four words.
This sentence comes from "Mencius". The original sentence is "Those who sacrifice their lives for righteousness". Does it mean that some of us should sacrifice ourselves?
Mao Jianming then spoke up, "Sacrifice one's life for justice, sacrifice one's life for justice. It seems someone must sacrifice themselves for justice."
He looked at me, then at Zhang Song and He Man who was hiding behind him, smiled, and took a step forward.
I immediately understood what he meant, and Zhang Song also reacted instantly.
The two of us rushed forward to pull him back.
He wanted to sacrifice himself to save our lives.
But the three of us can be said to live and die together. How could Zhang Song and I just watch him die?
My mind raced, and I said, "You can't have your cake and eat it too."
"He is the one who gives up fish to take bear's paw!" Mao Jianming said with shining eyes.
He shouted to He Man, "Sister Man, quickly throw the jade you took back into the treasure chest!"
He Man didn't know what Mao Jianming meant, but she thought very quickly and knew there must be a reason. She threw the jade in the bag back into the treasure chest in the box, and then pulled us into the space behind the door.
The stone gate began to descend, and when the insects saw us entering, they became anxious and all swarmed up in an instant.
I hope this stone gate falls down quickly.
The insects rushed to the stone gate, not daring to go beyond the limit, and just kept screaming outside.
I felt relieved when I saw this, but when I saw the dense swarms of insects outside, I still felt a chill in my heart.
When the door was completely closed, the entire dark space began to fall, just like taking an elevator, straight up and down.
We don't know where we're going.
