Chapter 452: Tied up

Watching the Dao Yi Sect disciples busy with delight, the male spirit frog demon quietly left and headed straight for the underwater stone cave.

Little did he know, his movements, which he thought were unnoticed, had actually been seen by the core disciples like Xu Jie from the very beginning.

At this moment, Zhong Ling and Xu Jie exchanged a glance, both tacitly agreeing not to take down this male spirit frog demon.

Are you kidding? If they took down these spirit frog demons, how would they eat spirit frogs in the future? They were counting on these spirit frog demons to breed more!

The male spirit frog demon, having returned safely to the underwater stone cave, told the female spirit frog demon everything he had seen truthfully.

Hearing that the Dao Yi Sect disciples were crazily catching spirit frogs, the female spirit frog demon was also confused.

What was the situation with these people? Not coming to find them, but crazily catching ordinary spirit frogs? What did this mean?

However, soon, the female spirit frog demon seemed to think of something, and a confident smile appeared on her face.

"So that's it."

"My Lady, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, the four male spirit frog demons asked in confusion. Hearing this, the female spirit frog demon said confidently.

"These humans must have no way to find our location, so they are using such a stupid method, wanting to deal with us by catching spirit frogs."

As she spoke, the look in the female spirit frog demon's eyes became more confident, as if she had seen through everything, and she sneered.

"But all of this will be in vain. They probably still don't understand the reproductive speed of my spirit frog clan."

Saying this, she gave the four male spirit frog demons a wink. Seeing this, the four male spirit frog demons' expressions changed, but they still obediently stepped forward.

Before long, small tadpoles were once again swimming out of the stone cave.

If the Dao Yi Sect wanted to catch all the spirit frogs, she would let them know how naive that idea was.

For the next few days, the Dao Yi Sect disciples were happy to the extreme; this was simply a life like heaven.

First, there was an endless supply of ingredients; there were many spirit frogs, so there was no worry about food in the short term.

Second, Ye Changqing made twenty-thousand-person portions for every meal these past few days.

This made the disciples ecstatic. Eating without having to fight for a spot—once upon a time, this was a scene that only appeared in dreams.

But now, they had been eating Senior Brother Changqing's cooking for several days in a row.

Ye Changqing did this because he wanted to resolve the spirit frog matter as quickly as possible, so basically, he cooked as many spirit frogs as the senior and junior brothers brought back.

Anyway, the skinning, gutting, and cleaning were all helped by the senior and junior brothers, so it wasn't very troublesome.

The days were incredibly comfortable. Dry pot spirit frogs, spicy spirit frogs, garlic-flavored spirit frogs, young ginger spirit frogs.

The disciples had tried every flavor of spirit frog, yet they still couldn't get enough.

Under such a comfortable life, as time slowly passed, another few days went by, and the disciples discovered a very serious problem.

That was, the growth speed of the spirit frogs in the river was constantly slowing down.

The scene where the entire river was packed with spirit frogs no longer existed. Now, when the disciples went to the riverbank to catch spirit frogs, they had to search for them.

This put the disciples in a very bad mood. Just look, core disciples like Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping, Zhao Rou, and Zhong Ling stood by the riverbank, looking at the river surface that had returned to normal—where was there even a shadow of a spirit frog?

"Damn it, wasn't it said that the reproductive ability of the spirit frog clan was terrifying? Is this it?"

"So disappointing."

They cursed in dissatisfaction. Hadn't they refrained from taking action against the spirit frog demons behind the scenes just to let them breed wantonly?

But now it seemed these spirit frog demons were completely useless. The opportunity was given to you, but you damn well couldn't grasp it!

"What now?"

"What else can we do? Looking at it this way, those spirit frog demons are already finding it hard to keep up with our pace."

The speed of reproduction couldn't keep up with the speed at which everyone was eating. After saying this, the few looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, they clearly had a plan in mind.

Immediately, they leaped into the river and swam toward the underwater stone cave where the spirit frog demons were located.

In fact, Xu Jie and the others had known exactly where the spirit frog demons were for a long time, but they had delayed taking action just to give them a chance.

But now, since you couldn't grasp this opportunity, don't blame us.

Unaware that everyone was heading straight for them, the four male spirit frog demons in the underwater stone cave were already full of terror, their figures thin, and compared to a few days ago, they were far too weak.

They looked at the female spirit frog demon with eyes full of fear, shaking their heads repeatedly.

"It's no good, it's really no good."

"My Lady, there's nothing left, I really have nothing left."

"I can't produce even a little bit."

"My Lady, let's take a break. These Dao Yi Sect disciples are simply not human."

Heaven knows how they had gotten through these past few days. At first, they were full of confidence; after all, for the spirit frog clan, their strongest ability should be reproduction.

These humans wanted to catch all their offspring? It was simply wishful thinking.

But as time passed, the development of the situation seemed completely different from what they had imagined.
