Looking at the rippling water, an instinctive resistance surged in Li Qinglin's heart.

Although the bell toad is an amphibian, it rarely swims underwater and prefers to stay in a normal temperature and humid environment.

The cold well water makes it difficult for the lovely bell-toad.

But at this moment, the bell toad did not hesitate too much and leaned down.

Entering the water was icy cold.

The eyelids of the bell toad's protruding eyes are closed, leaving only a slit.

The subtle vibrations in the water turned into lines, floating in the field of vision.

The patterns, which were originally eye-catching, gradually faded and became the same color as the mud and sand.

The bell toad moved its hind legs and suddenly jumped out from its original place.

One foot, two feet,

Three feet...

Trying hard to suppress the discomfort in your heart and the coldness on your skin.

The bell toad dived silently like a ghost.

The water pressure gradually increased, and the bell toad felt a little short of breath.

Finally, it reached the limit of the bell toad, which was about six feet deep.

"There!"

The bell toad's dynamic vision and sense of touch are extremely developed. Even in the dark underwater, it can detect prey through slight vibrations.

Then I saw a slender-scaled fish clinging to the water plants growing in the cracks of the rocks.

The bell toad stopped and remained motionless, falling into a long silence, full of patience.

The toes slowly turned into a bright orange color, like a worm, swaying in the water.

The bell-toad has the wisdom of a fisherman and naturally knows the importance of making a nest.

Time passes.

The smelt fish sensed the presence of the worm.

It cautiously wandered outside for a while, swimming back and forth, and even pretending to eat the bait.

The bell-toad kept watching the fine-scaled fish silently.

Only after making sure there was no danger did the slender-scaled fish swallow the worm in one gulp.

Whoosh! The water splashed, and the toad's tongue tightly wrapped around the fish like a steel rope.

Frightened, the slender-scaled fish was still struggling, twisting its body wildly and flapping its tail against the toad's tongue.

However, the strong muscles of the toad's tongue contracted, and the slender-scaled fish immediately fell into the mouth of the bell toad.

The highly corrosive gastric acid dissolved half of the body of the smelt in an instant, and the smelt died instantly.

Without disdain for the viscera and scales of the fine-scaled fish, the bell toad swallowed the entire fine-scaled fish.

"It's really strange, there are fish in this well, where did they come from?"

Looking at the dark and deep bottom of the well, Li Qinglin felt a little strange.

In order to prevent poisoning and warn of water quality deterioration, many drinking wells will raise a few small carp or even turtles.

However, these wells in the insect-raising yard were not dug for water supply. In previous years, they were often dry. It was only because this year was the rainy season that the well water silted up.

Besides, if there really were fish, they would have been caught and roasted by those peasants in the outer yard long ago!

"Um?!"

Suddenly, a large amount of fierce energy and blood was released from the toad's belly, and the rich warm current flowed to every corner of the bell toad's body.

“Gurgle…”

A series of bubbles came out of the bell toad's nostrils.

The bell toad looked obviously full.

Especially since it is already winter, the weather is cold and most toads are hibernating.

At this moment, under the influence of this warm current, the bell toad felt a little drowsy and the whole toad could not muster any energy.

"You can't sleep here!"

As a human habit, the bell toad even subconsciously wanted to use its clumsy front legs to pull up its eyelids.

At the same time, the heart toad in Li Qinglin's original body's chest also beat violently, giving out an unprecedented surge of energy and blood.

Li Qinglin barely controlled the bell toad to swim upstream quickly. After quietly leaving the water, he crawled back into a long and narrow gap before he regained his composure.

…

Li Qinglin suddenly got up from the bed.

The qi and blood gushing out of the heart toad quickly poured into the blood bag.

One place...

Two places...

Three places...

There were a total of thirty-six blood sacs, and at this moment, half of them were filled, a full ten! Moreover,

【Other-transformation and freedom】

【Name: Li Qinglin】

…

[Avatar: Bell Toad (Transforming (12%)]

Li Qinglin was so excited that he could no longer sleep. He put on a paper jacket, took down the window pole, carefully climbed out of the house, and came to the wasteland behind the woodshed.

There are many farm tools in the corners of the wasteland, such as shoulder poles, bamboo baskets, wooden stakes, and stones for tamping the ground...

Li Qinglin tested the weight of the stones and found that they were of varying sizes, ranging from more than ten pounds to several dozen pounds.

Li Qinglin's eyes lit up, and he put the stones in a bamboo basket, and then used hemp ropes to hang the bamboo basket on both sides of the carrying pole to make a simple lever.

Controlling the opening and closing of the heart sac, a stream of qi and blood flowed out, running through Li Qinglin's entire chest and abdomen, and then seeping into his limbs and bones, every corner of his body.

Squat!

Bench press!

Deadlift!

You can get stronger by exercising.

Li Qinglin could clearly feel that the Qi and blood were being quickly absorbed by his body.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Cells, tissues, muscles, and even bones and bone marrow are all climbing at a noticeable speed!

not enough.

More slices, more slices!!

Li Qinglin had fire in his eyes and blood in his chest.

Strands of blood and energy flowed out of the heart sac, and the stones in the bamboo basket became more and more...

I don’t know how much time passed.

Snap!

The bamboo basket collapsed suddenly, the torn bamboo strips were shattered everywhere, and the stones rolled all over the ground.

The sound of the explosion was a bit harsh in the night.

From the neighbors on both sides, and even from the house across the street, there were sounds of rustling and cursing, and flickering candlelight appeared in the window.

Li Qinglin stopped moving, disappeared into the night, and slowly calmed his violently beating heart.

After a while, everything fell silent again.

Li Qinglin clenched his fists, feeling this unprecedented strength, his eyes filled with surprise.

He tried running again and found that his legs were like springs, light and fast. He only needed to exert a little effort to run several meters away!

If you lift up Li Qinglin's clothes, you can see his beautifully shaped muscles, which are tight and obvious, full of wild charm.

A few days ago, Li Qinglin absorbed qi and blood, but it was only to make up for the deficit and organize the muscles to exert force.

But this time, it is a real enhancement!

Strength, agility, endurance and even physical fitness, a huge improvement in all aspects!

"Two fists, at least four jin of force! It's a pity that there are no sophisticated instruments in this world, and it's impossible to accurately measure physical fitness."

In this world, one jun is equal to thirty jin, and the fist strength of an average adult is no more than sixty kilograms, or four jun.

"And I have a stronger ability to recruit nerves and muscles. If I burst out with all my strength..."

Li Qinglin suddenly felt a sense of security.

After traveling through this world, he first encountered an unintentional secret, and then was investigated by the Ministry of Clerks. His life and death almost depended on the thoughts of others. All these things brought Li Qinglin great anxiety.

At this time...

Li Qinglin experienced the tempting taste of power.

"The Qi and blood in the Heart Toad have not been consumed yet. There are still six left. Moreover, I am still a minor and still in the process of development. My current strength is far from my limit! However, as my strength grows, the effect of ordinary weight-bearing training will become less and less.

What will it be like after practicing martial arts, or even cultivating immortality?"

There was a wild light flashing in Li Qinglin's eyes, like an untamed beast. After going through a period of being emaciated and weak, he slowly raised his head.

"Shhh~"

From inside the house came the deliberately suppressed sound of a door opening.

Li Qinglin suddenly came back to his senses.

Li Xian seemed to have heard the noise as well. She looked outside with a wooden stick in her hand, looking nervous. When she didn't notice anything unusual, she slowly walked back into the house.

Only then did Li Qinglin realize that the light in Li Xian's room seemed to be on all the time.

At this moment, a faint light was floating in through the crack in the door.

Li Qinglin's eyes flickered, he stepped lightly, made a half circle, and appeared outside Li Xian's bedroom window in the distance.

In front of the window, under the dim moonlight, a fuel-efficient lamp was barely burning, illuminating an area the size of a palm.

Li Xianshi was spinning a spinning wheel in the light, with a tattered cushion under her body, one leg bent and the other leg pressed on the bottom bar of the spinning wheel.

The wheels turned so fast that even the moonlight couldn't catch up.

Li Xianshi had to get very close to see the spinning thread clearly.

The smoke from the fuel-saving lamp inevitably stabbed her eyes, but she seemed to be used to it.

It turns out that her eyes are half blind like this...

Li Qinglin was silent.

He watched the spinning wheel turning and spinning, and always felt that the thread was pulled from her body, which was why she was so thin.

"Let me take you to a different way of living."

Li Qinglin muttered to himself.
