Chapter 447: Spirit Frog Essence

A look of suspicion appeared in his eyes as he looked at everyone. Were these mutes really Dao One Sect Immortal Masters?

Seeing this, Ye Changqing walked out helplessly and said.

"Old man, we are indeed disciples of the Dao One Sect."

Seeing that there was finally a normal person, the village chief was overjoyed, and then he knelt on the ground, and the villagers behind him followed suit.

"Old man, what are you doing..."

The sudden action left Ye Changqing stunned, and he quickly reached out to help him up, but the village chief said at this time.

"Please, Immortal Master, take action and save us."

"Old man, get up first, tell me slowly if you have anything to say."

Not knowing what these villagers were asking for, Ye Changqing could only let them get up first and tell the truth.

Trembling as he stood up, the village chief then told everyone the truth about what had happened in the village recently.

They and many surrounding villages had lived by the Heaven-Reaching River for generations, relying on the mountains and water, and almost everyone made a living by fishing.

Every day they caught fish on the river and sold them in the surrounding towns to ensure their livelihood.

But a month ago, a pair of Spirit Frog Essences suddenly appeared in the Heaven-Reaching River.

This pair of Spirit Frog Essences occupied the river surface and propagated crazily; the speed was staggering.

In just a few days, the river was full of spirit frogs.

This caused the fish in the river to decrease rapidly, and when they went down to the river to fish, they would be attacked by these spirit frogs.

Although these spirit frogs were not strong, they carried toxins. Once contaminated, the skin would soon ulcerate. Many people in the surrounding villages had already been infected with the toxins, which was truly painful.

Following the village chief's narration, several men on the side took off their shirts, and one could see at a glance that the skin on their bodies was indeed ulcerated and festering.

It was not difficult to see from the expressions of several people that the wounds must be unbearable.

Until Hong Zun, Qingshi, and Zhang Tianzhen stepped forward to check.

"It is indeed Spirit Frog Poison."

"It's not deep poisoning, it's not difficult to cure."

With the means of the three, it was not difficult to cure this Spirit Frog Poison; even just having enough first-grade toxin-clearing pills ground into powder would cure it.

The real trouble was the Spirit Frog Essence.

Spirit Frog Essence was extremely rare in the Eastern Continent and was very special.

Under normal circumstances, the demon race determined strength based on bloodline.

The stronger the bloodline, the higher the upper limit of future growth, while Spirit Frog Essence had a naturally low and thin bloodline.

It was extremely difficult to have the possibility of becoming a demon, and their lifespan was short; they were just at the level of wild beasts throughout their lives.

However, a very small number of spirit frogs, due to some coincidences, finally successfully transformed into demons, and their lifespan was greatly increased.

Moreover, once a Spirit Frog Essence transformed into a demon, not to mention its strength, its reproductive ability was absolutely abnormal.

There was once a pair of Spirit Frog Essences that destroyed an entire city within a year.

They didn't rely on their own strength, but on their endless descendants, rushing into the city like a frog tide, forcibly destroying a city.

And this only took a few months, from nothing to something.

I didn't expect Spirit Frog Essence to appear in the Heaven-Reaching River. Why didn't the sect know about such a thing?

They should have reported it to the sect immediately.

Until Hong Zun sent a message to ask Ye Changqing, and Ye Changqing asked the old village chief again. Hearing this, the old village chief's answer was.

"Who said there wasn't? More than half a month ago, when we first discovered it, we had already reported it to the adults in the city, but we never received a reply."

Like these small villages, they naturally had no way to contact the Dao One Sect directly; they generally reported to the City Lord of the surrounding towns, and then the City Lord reported to the Dao One Sect.

In this way, the problem was obviously with that City Lord.

"Zhengping."

"Master."

"You take people to treat these villagers first, as well as all the surrounding villages."

"Yes."

Temporarily not looking for the City Lord's trouble, saving people was the priority.

Soon, Zhao Zhengping took people to various villages to treat those infected with frog poison.

It wasn't a high-difficulty job; just wrap it with medicinal powder. However, it needed to be changed a few times.

This was also simple; leave enough medicinal powder for the villagers, and they could change it themselves when the time came.

Zhao Zhengping was busy saving people, while Until Hong Zun took Xu Jie, Ye Changqing, and others to the river. As for the others, they waited in the Spirit City for the time being.

On the riverbank, looking at it, the river surface was indeed densely packed with spirit frogs.

It looked like it had already formed a scale.

"It's been more than a month."

Until Hong Zun frowned and transmitted to everyone. With the number of these spirit frogs, it was definitely more than a month.

However, hearing this, Ye Changqing guessed.

"Perhaps there is more than one pair of Spirit Frog Essences?"

The villagers said there was only one pair of Spirit Frog Essences. Looking at it this way, a month was indeed not enough to propagate so many spirit frogs.

But what if there was more than one pair? After all, those villagers hadn't really seen the Spirit Frog Essence, and even those who had seen it were dead.

Hearing this, Until Hong Zun nodded. Indeed, such a conjecture could not be ruled out. But if this were true, then the matter would be very troublesome.

First, if there was more than one pair of Spirit Frog Essences, the speed of propagation would increase exponentially.

Secondly, Spirit Frog Essence was extremely good at hiding, and it was in the Heaven-Reaching River. Even if Hong Zun and the others took action personally, they wouldn't dare to say they could find them in a short time.

All things in the world are mutually generated and restrained. Spirit Frog Essence is weak, but it also has its own innate supernatural powers, which is the ability to avoid the investigation of Saint Sense.

Because there is a layer of mucus on its body surface, Saint Sense cannot lock onto the Spirit Frog Essence at all. This is what Until Hong Zun and the others are most troubled by.

But if you don't find the Spirit Frog Essence, just killing these ordinary spirit frogs, when will you kill them? And even if you kill them, it's thankless work.

Just when everyone was thinking about countermeasures, Ye Changqing came to the shore, grabbed a spirit frog, and after observing it carefully, found that this spirit frog was indeed ugly.

How to put it? Wood worms were not liked before, but at least they looked white and fat, right?

And this spirit frog, one look at it made people want to get goosebumps, especially for women.

Didn't see Zhao Rou, Zhong Ling, and the others, they didn't want to approach the riverbank at this time. They would rather fight with a great demon than deal with these spirit frogs; it was so disgusting.

Even when seeing Ye Changqing grab a spirit frog, Fairy Baihua transmitted.

"Don't, it's so dirty."

But Ye Changqing didn't pay attention. Looking at the spirit frog in his hand, a kind of delicacy from his previous life suddenly appeared in his mind, which was also like this. When alive, it looked disgusting, but once skinned and de-tendoned, it was absolutely a delicacy that was popular for a while, and many people liked to eat it. ===== CHAPTER 448 =====
