Chapter 81: An Unexpected Surprise, the Treasure-Gathering Golden Toad

Clang!

Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, in Ye Lin’s shocked gaze, the suddenly revived second head accurately bit down on the golden spear condensed from Eternal Geng Metal.

Ye Lin clearly remembered that this head had just been pierced through by the Eternal Geng Metal and was dead as could be.

Yet, in just this short amount of time, the injuries on this second head had completely healed, and it was acting as if nothing had happened.

"Could it be that this thing also has an immortal body?" Ye Lin looked at the Hellhound in front of him with suspicion and uncertainty.

At this moment, the injuries on the Hellhound’s body had completely healed, and all three heads let out terrifying roars in unison.

The second head stared fixedly at Ye Lin, its eyes filled with ferocity and hatred.

Then, the massive Hellhound leaped up suddenly and lunged toward Ye Lin.

While dodging, Ye Lin shouted loudly to Mi Xue, who was hiding to the side.

"I remember the bag you’re carrying has a lot of chocolate in it, throw the chocolate to me quickly!"

"Ah? Are you hungry?" Mi Xue was stunned. Weren't they in the middle of dealing with a high-level monster, the Hellhound? Ye Lin wanted to eat chocolate at a time like this?

"Don't worry about it, just throw it over!" Ye Lin urged.

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Mi Xue scrambled to open her backpack and threw all the dozens of chocolate bars inside to Ye Lin in one go.

Chocolate is small in volume and extremely high in calories, making it perfect for camping and cross-country trips, as it can quickly replenish energy, so Mi Xue had prepared quite a bit.

After catching the chocolate, Ye Lin raised his hand and greeted the Hellhound with a Fireball spell.

The Hellhound was enraged and instantly lunged at Ye Lin even more frantically to bite him.

Those three blood-filled maws were extremely conspicuous; one could even see down the Hellhound’s throat through the moonlight.

This saved Ye Lin a lot of trouble. He gripped the chocolate in his hand and then, like throwing darts, kept tossing the chocolate into the Hellhound’s stomach.

To ensure fairness, Ye Lin did not spare any of the three heads.

Heaven knows if these three heads shared one digestive system or had three separate ones.

The Hellhound was very cooperative, accepting everything that came its way and swallowing it all into its belly, as if it could devour everything in this world.

Soon, all the chocolate had been thrown by Ye Lin into the belly of the Hellhound, Cerberus.

Mi Xue was dumbfounded by Ye Lin’s actions. She didn't understand at all what Ye Lin was doing—was he feeding the Hellhound?

But soon, a startling change occurred in the Hellhound.

The massive Hellhound suddenly collapsed to the ground, its muscles began to spasm violently, all three heads started foaming at the mouth simultaneously, and its lower body even suffered from incontinence, emitting a foul stench.

"Ah... ah?!"

Mi Xue opened her rosy little mouth wide, her fair face filled with confusion.

She couldn't understand it; it was clearly the Hellhound, Cerberus, that had been hunting Ye Lin, so how did the Hellhound end up collapsing first while in the middle of the hunt?

Ye Lin glanced at the dazed Mi Xue and explained.

"Don't you know? Dogs get poisoned when they eat chocolate. Substances like theobromine in chocolate can cause muscle spasms in dogs. After eating it, dogs will experience poisoning symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and drooling; severe cases can even lead to death."

"I know that... but this is a high-level monster, the Hellhound Cerberus!" Mi Xue muttered to herself.

It would have been better if Ye Lin hadn't explained; with this explanation, Mi Xue was even more dumbfounded.

The Hellhound is also a dog, so chocolate can poison the Hellhound just the same?

Who would have thought that the nemesis of the terrifying high-level monster, the Hellhound, would actually be chocolate.

Ye Lin walked up to the still-twitching Hellhound, then activated Burning Reincarnation and directly brought down a World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder.

Perhaps sensing death approaching, just as that violent and surging thunder was about to strike, the Hellhound actually stood up shakily.

Six eyes stared at Ye Lin simultaneously, and it let out a low, hoarse roar.

Then, the black flames on the Hellhound’s body surged toward Ye Lin and Mi Xue at an extremely terrifying speed.

The flames were filled with high heat, as if they could incinerate everything, carrying the Hellhound’s resentment and madness before death; once touched, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ye Lin pulled Mi Xue behind him, then raised a hand, and a thick wall blocked the two of them.

"Forbidden Spell—Wall of Sighs!"

Ye Lin’s current level had reached level 20; unless a monster or job-changer above level 40 attacked, they could not break the defense of the Wall of Sighs head-on.

Otherwise, they would have to choose to go around the Wall of Sighs to launch an attack on Ye Lin.

Although the Hellhound’s final struggle before death was extremely terrifying, when facing the Wall of Sighs, it could only shake its head and sigh.

The black flames collided with the Wall of Sighs and were directly annihilated, not even leaving a single crack on the wall.

And at this moment, the thunder summoned by Ye Lin had also fallen.

Accompanied by a loud boom, the Hellhound was directly struck by the lightning into a charred corpse.

[Killed level 36 high-level monster Hellhound, rewarded with 720 experience points.]

A high-level monster is a high-level monster; the experience points provided are twice that of low-level monsters, and with the addition of this experience, Ye Lin leveled up to level 21.

But before he could be happy, Ye Lin discovered another problem.

Although the black flames released by the Hellhound before its death did not cause direct harm to Ye Lin and Mi Xue due to the obstruction of the Wall of Sighs, they spread rapidly in the surroundings, forming a destructive fire.

The scene around them instantly became chaotic and dangerous; trees, grass, and the surrounding bushes were all turning to ashes in the raging fire.

"Run!"

Ye Lin reacted quickly, grabbed Mi Xue’s hand, and rushed in the direction away from the black flames, but as soon as they moved, Mi Xue gasped in pain.

Ye Lin then remembered that Mi Xue had been corroded on her back by the Hellhound’s saliva earlier while trying to carry him away while he was asleep.

Not caring about anything else, Ye Lin ignored Mi Xue’s refusal, picked her up horizontally, and rushed toward the outskirts of the secret realm.

Mi Xue’s cheeks were already flushed, the ground beneath them was scorching hot, and the air was filled with the smell of burning and thick smoke, but at this moment, she somewhat hoped that time would pause at this instant.

"Croak!"

Just as Mi Xue was immersed in this atmosphere, a clear frog croak came.

Ye Lin turned his head to look and saw a huge golden toad fleeing in panic, with black flames still burning on its butt.

"This is... that Treasure-Gathering Golden Toad from last time!"

Ye Lin was overjoyed; he didn't expect that after killing the Hellhound, there would be an unexpected surprise.

The black flames released by the Hellhound’s final struggle actually burned that Treasure-Gathering Golden Toad out!
