Xiao Mo controlled the sword to fly towards the Heavenly Eye Toad. With a "clang," the sword seemed to have struck something extremely hard. The Heavenly Eye Toad was unharmed, but it was enraged.
It shot out its tongue, which Xiao Mo swiftly dodged, then slashed at the tongue with his knife, leaving only a minor wound. The Heavenly Eye Toad, in pain, attacked even more fiercely, its tongue nearly catching on Xiao Mo's clothes. The Seven Wind Wolf quickly stepped forward, grabbing the tongue with its claw, leaving a gash.
The Heavenly Eye Toad was enraged, its cheeks puffed out, and it kept growling.
"Puff," "Puff"... The bumps on the back of the Heavenly Eye Toad kept bursting open, and poisonous gas filled the surrounding area...
"Not good!" Xiao Mo quickly covered his mouth and nose, urging the Seven Wind Wolves to escape.
Knowing it was outmatched, the Seven Winds Wolf quickly fled. Don't expect it to risk its life to fight alongside Xiao Mo; knowing it couldn't win and still trying to show off was just courting death! The Seven Winds Wolf knew its own limitations; it valued its life. Besides, its relationship with Xiao Mo was only based on a few barbecues; it wasn't at the point of risking its life. This was called…survival was paramount…
Xiao Mo didn't care what kind of poison it was, and first took his usual antidote pill, hoping it would be of some use.
Xiao Mo swung his sword at the Heavenly Eye Toad, but the toad's skin was so tough that he couldn't cut it at all.
Since swords can't hurt us, let's use the power of lightning!
Xiao Mo imbued his sword with lightning power and struck the Heavenly Eye Toad several times, finally causing small wounds and a trickle of blood. The Heavenly Eye Toad was enraged!
"Poke its eyes!"
Xiao Mo, imbuing his sword with the power of lightning, stabbed at its eye again. The Heavenly Eye Toad couldn't react in time, and its eye was instantly pierced, bleeding profusely.
The Heavenly Eye Toad was enraged; more of the bumps on its back broke apart, and the poisonous gas became even more concentrated…
Xiao Mo clearly felt himself becoming sluggish. The surrounding purple poisonous gas obscured his vision, and his divine sense seemed to be blocked as well, only able to perceive a distance of five meters. What could he possibly do within five meters?! ...
Get out of the way!
When Xiao Mo heard Yun Qi shout for him to get out of the way, he instinctively stepped back, and the Heavenly Eye Toad's tongue curled towards the spot where he had just been... Luckily, he dodged it!
Yunqi: "Xiao Mo, are you alright?"
"It's okay, I can still manage!"
Xiao Mo stepped forward with his sword, preparing to strike the Heavenly Eye Toad's other eye again. Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Eye Toad not only did not dodge, but instead opened its third eye wide...
Xiao Mo stared blankly at the Heavenly Eye, completely dumbfounded. He had been under an illusion...
The Heavenly Eye Toad didn't intend to eat him immediately. He had injured one of its eyes, and it was determined to torment him thoroughly before finally devouring him!
Xiao Mo felt as if he had returned to the time after his Xiao family was wiped out, when he was homeless, begging on the streets, being beaten and verbally abused at will, and having to evade being hunted down...
Watching "himself" being beaten half to death by the other beggars... Xiao Mo clenched his fists!
This illusion awakened Xiao Mo's most painful memories...
Yunqi was also pulled into the illusion. Seeing herself appear in Xiao Mo's memory, she hurriedly asked Xiaoqi what was going on.
Xiao Qi: Xiao Mo is under an illusion. To wake up, he just needs to confront this most painful memory.
Yunqi: Then how did I end up in his illusion?
Xiaoqi: Maybe he subconsciously hopes you can save him?
Yunqi: ...
Alright, we have to save him eventually...
In the illusion, Yunqi called out to Xiao Mo, trying to wake him up.
But he just stared blankly at the version of himself that had been bullied, his eyes bloodshot...
Yun Qi grabbed Xiao Mo's hand and turned him towards her: "Xiao Mo, look at me!! That's all fake! You've avenged your family! You're a Nascent Soul cultivator now! You're no longer the weak person you once were!"
Xiao Mo stared blankly at Yun Qi, his eyes gradually clearing: "Sister?"
"Um."
What are you doing here?
Yunqi looked around warily: "...You've fallen under the Heavenly Eye Toad's illusion. It didn't kill you directly because it wants to torture you. You must be careful at all times..."
"Sister!" Xiao Mo hugged Yun Qi tightly. "Sister, I missed you so much! Even though this is an illusion, I'm still so glad I could see you here..."
"..." Yun Qi was speechless, and patted Xiao Mo, "Have you hugged enough?! Let go of me now! Do you want to stay in this illusion forever?!"
After a moment's thought, Xiao Mo understood the key point: "Since this is my illusion, then it was changed because of me..."
As soon as Xiao Mo finished speaking, the surrounding scenery instantly transformed into a paradise. Flowers bloomed all around, beautiful butterflies fluttered about, and the sunlight bathed the earth, warm and comforting. A stream flowed quietly... and wisps of smoke rose from the bamboo houses not far away...
I never expected Xiao Mo to imagine such a fantasy...
Seeing Xiao Mo's expression change from unbearable pain to bliss, the Heavenly Eye Toad became even angrier! It attacked Xiao Mo directly!
Xiao Mo's illusion shattered, especially noticeable in the bamboo house. Without further hesitation, Xiao Mo attacked the bamboo house directly!
Unexpectedly, the bamboo house was the opening in the illusion! A sword strike imbued with the power of lightning pierced directly through the Heavenly Eye Toad's third eye...
The Heavenly Eye Toad collapsed in disbelief... Even in death, it couldn't understand how Xiao Mo had escaped the illusion...
At this moment, Xiao Mo's spirit beast pouch moved, and a divine beast egg flew out. The eggshell shattered with a crack, and a cute little creature, resembling both a tiger and a lion, hopped and skipped out...
It nuzzled Xiao Mo affectionately, then opened its mouth wide and sucked up all the surrounding poisonous mist, letting out a satisfied burp afterward. Then it drooled over the Heavenly Eye Toad, turned its head, and looked at Xiao Mo pitifully.
Xiao Mo clearly understood: "This Heavenly Eye Toad is yours."
The little cutie was overjoyed and devoured the giant toad. Just imagine, this tiny creature, the size of a cat, ate the entire giant toad, which was the size of a tank... and after it finished, its size didn't seem to change at all... I wonder where it all went...
