In the darkness, Qin Shou slowly opened his eyes, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
escape?
Where to run?
Little spirit pet, how could you possibly escape my grasp? Hehehehehe...
"Hahaha, Da Mei, we're finally free!"
On the steps of Turtle Mountain, the wind was gentle and the moon was bright. Black Rabbit strode wildly down the mountain, hopping and skipping, and each time it jumped into the air, it would excitedly stick out its tongue.
Da Mei held Xiao Pang in her arms and sang a little song.
"Da Mei, where are we going?"
"Black Rabbit asked."
"The Sea"
Where is the ocean?
"The ocean is like a vast, vast pool; even if we swam in it for a hundred years, we still wouldn't reach the end."
Wow! The ocean is so big! But I can't swim!
"It's okay, my sister and I will teach you."
"Okay, we'll teach you."
Little Fatty nodded happily and said, "My sister is a Foundation Establishment expert! She can even blow bubbles. You can stay in the bubbles and go swimming in the sea with us. Mommy used to say the sea is so beautiful!"
"Great! Da Mei, Xiao Pang, I can't wait to go to the ocean with you!"
And so, the two little koi and the jet-black rabbit ran off into the distance, dreaming of the future.
Little did they know, a figure was hovering above them, watching them with a mocking "hehehe" sound.
How can I get them to obediently return to the mountain and not want to come down again?
Qin Shou stroked his chin, deep in thought. After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. "I've got it!"
Hehehe, little koi fish, run! Once you've seen the harsh realities of the world, you'll remember how good I was. Hahahaha, hehehe...
Qin Shou's figure swept away into the distance, his divine sense spreading out to carefully examine the surrounding situation. Soon, he found the target he wanted.
It was a cave entrance halfway up the mountain, where a strange and extraordinary herb grew. Underneath the herb lay a giant fire toad.
[The Fiery Vermilion Toad, at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, is highly poisonous. Thirty years ago, it found a Transformation Grass and has been waiting here ever since, hoping the grass would mature so it could be picked and consumed...]
call out!
Qin Shou hovered in mid-air, and with a flick of his sleeve, he caught the herb at the cave entrance in his palm.
At this moment, the slumbering Flame Toad was instantly awakened, its golden pupils widening as it coldly stared at the Qin Beast.
"Human, you mere Qi Refining Level 9 dare to try and steal my treasure!"
"Hand over the Transformation Grass right now, or I'll devour you! Roar!!!"
The Fiery Vermilion Toad roared, its massive demonic body instantly transforming into a streak of red lightning as it pounced on the Qin Beast.
Snap!
Qin Shou knocked him down with a single slap.
"Kneel down and do me a favor."
Qin Shou said in a cold voice.
? ? ? ?
The fiery toad was stunned by the slap.
"You...you...you're not at the ninth level of Qi Refining??"
"When did I say I was?"
? ? ? ?
The Flaming Toad scratched its head, as if it hadn't said anything.
"Ah, immortal, spare me!"
"Waaaaah~, this little demon has cultivated diligently to this level with great effort, please, spare my life!"
The fiery toad lay prostrate on the ground, trembling.
"Alright, do me a favor and I won't kill you. If you do well, I'll even give this Transformation Grass back to you."
"Really...really! Thank you, Immortal! Thank you, Immortal!"
The fiery toad kowtowed desperately.
"Tell me, are there any other demonic beasts around here that are at the mid-to-late Foundation Establishment stage, like you?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I have several good brothers who are all late-stage Foundation Establishment demon beasts. Immortal, this little demon will lead the way for you."
"good"
With a flick of his sleeve, Qin Shou summoned the fiery toad and flew away.
Several dozen breaths later, Qin Shou arrived at the edge of a cold pool and saw a large crocodile basking in the moonlight.
[Iron Crocodile, Foundation Establishment Level 7 cultivation, skilled in death roll, loves basking in moonlight, believes fairies live on the moon, and dreams sweet dreams day and night.............]
"Immortal! We've arrived!"
The Flaming Toad bowed and scraped, silently mourning in his heart, "I'm sorry, Brother Crocodile. When we swore brotherhood, we said we would share both good times and bad. I'm just here today to fulfill that promise."
Snap!
Qin Shou stepped forward and, without saying a word, slapped the armored crocodile, who was having a sweet dream, awake.
"Kneel down and do me a favor?"
Qin Shou said coldly.
? ? ? ?
The armored crocodile opened its tiny eyes, looking completely bewildered.
What?!
What happened?
Huh? A human?
Qi Refining Level 9?
"Hehehe, it's been a long time since I've eaten a human. I didn't expect someone to deliver themselves to my doorstep."
"Hehehe, humans, come into my belly!"
The armored crocodile roared and lunged at the Qin beast, but was quickly stopped by a vermilion toad engulfed in flames.
"Brother, calm down, calm down!"
"Hmm? Brother Toad! Hahaha, Brother Toad, you've come at the perfect time! Let's share this human midnight snack, hehehe..."
Snap!
Qin Shou raised his hand and slapped the crocodile's mouth crooked, its teeth falling out in a sparse mess.
"Pitter-patter..."
The armored crocodile blinked its little eyes, looking bewildered.
"Let's go, next one."
The Qin Beast swept up the Flaming Vermilion Toad and the Ironclad Crocodile and continued flying forward.
Along the way, Qin Shou followed the same method, and whenever he encountered a suitable monster, he would go up and hit it with a big shovel, then take it away and move on to the next one.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Qin beast had already captured more than ten strangely shaped monsters.
One of them was just half a step away from undergoing the tribulation and forming the golden core.
"Phew, that's about it."
Qin Shou led these demonic beasts back, instantly traversing dozens of miles, and soon arrived at a mountain peak.
Qin Shou sat atop the mountain peak, with more than a dozen enormous demonic beasts crawling behind him, trembling in fear.
"Flaming Toad, you're not a demon at all, you actually betrayed your brother!"
A powerful demon spoke up, accusing the Flaming Toad.
"Exactly! We treated you like a brother, and you're worse than a dog!"
"Woof woof, second brother, why did that idiot Zhu Ha drag our Huangshan Tianyue Dog clan into this?"
"Ah, sorry, third brother, second brother misspoke. Fiery Vermilion Toad, you're utterly... utterly inferior, ptooey, we despise you!"
"Pah, pah, pah! Disgusting!"
The other powerful demons echoed this sentiment.
Seeing this, the Flaming Toad stiffened its neck and roared, "What does this have to do with me? You swore an oath when you became sworn brothers to share both good times and bad. What did I do wrong?"
"..............."
The great demons were dumbfounded!
Look at this! This guy betrayed his brother, and he's even acting like it's his own fault!
"Brothers, I've decided to remove the Fiery Toad from our brotherhood. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
I agree.
I agree.
I wholeheartedly agree.
The smallest of the alligators slowly rolled over and raised its four claws in the moonlight.
"Why should I?! You swore to share both good times and bad when you became sworn brothers, what did I do wrong?"
The fiery toad refused to accept this.
What did I do wrong?
"I did nothing wrong?"
"On what grounds do you want to remove me from the family tree?"
"You guys are just taking advantage of my naivety, I... I'm so wronged (?﹏?)"
The Flaming Toad cried.
"Big brother, I... I think I'll withdraw my vote in favor."
The armored crocodile silently rolled over.
