Chapter 456: Toad and Sheep

"Kid, this time you are truly dead..."

Looking at the giant soul in the center of the plaza that was shining with golden light, the Black Sheep couldn't help but sigh deeply, and said to Li Ang with eyes full of regret:

"That damn toad is a holy spirit worshiped by a secret cult called the Chengjin Sect. Its master is a True God whose power is similar to the Lord of the Starry Sky, and this toad is one of the three pets that True God likes the most.

Although this toad was nothing compared to me in the past, because it is stained with the aura of that True God, its own status is extremely high, and its abilities are also very difficult to deal with. I really have no way to save you... Sigh, what a pity for a good seedling..."

"..."

Wait a minute? You know the origin of that toad?

Hearing the Black Sheep's words, Li Ang's expression couldn't help but slightly freeze, and then he raised his hand to click on his badge panel.

He discovered with great surprise that the red 【Materialist Soul】 badge was already faintly glowing, but it seemed that the conditions were not yet sufficient, causing the light to be unusually dim and not yet reaching the level of activation.

Feeling that he had found a way to get out of trouble, Li Ang couldn't help but raise his hand and slap the sheep head fiercely.

"Quick! Say more!"

"Ah?"

The Black Sheep was stunned by the words, then subconsciously said:

"Uh... then I'll say more... Although you kid are a bit stingy, not even willing to pay for a boat ticket, at least you are willing to buy me cigarettes to smoke, which is much better than that red-haired woman. After you die, I will definitely miss you a few more times..."

"I'm not asking you to continue mourning me! I'm asking you to tell me the intelligence about that toad!"

Looking at the entry "When encountering anomalous objects, based on your own degree of understanding, reduce the influence from the other party" in the wearing effect column below 【Materialist Soul (Crimson)】, Li Ang couldn't help but say excitedly:

"Tell me everything you know about that toad! Say as much as you can! The more detailed, the better!"

"Ah? You are about to die of old age, why are you asking these things?"

"Don't worry about it! Hurry up and tell me the intelligence! If you dawdle again, I'll throw you over to feed the toad!"

"Tsk... it's just that I find you pleasing to the eye..."

Muttering unhappily for two sentences, the Black Sheep recalled the intelligence about the golden toad, and then rambled on:

"The people of the Chengjin Sect love wealth, so the three pets raised by that True God all have something to do with money. They are the Cat that attracts wealth, the Snake that devours wealth, and the Toad that spits out wealth. Their abilities are obtaining money, consuming money to obtain something, and swallowing something to spit out money, respectively.

The strongest among them is this damn toad. It can spit out massive amounts of money and forcibly purchase almost everything. As long as you cannot be completely immune to the magic of money, you cannot exempt yourself from its 'forced purchase'. It even... Eh? How can you move?"

【Through the absent-minded narration of the "Demon Horn", you have obtained a large amount of intelligence about the "Wealth-Changing Golden Toad". The exotic badge "Materialist Soul (Crimson)" is activated.

Due to understanding the activation rules of the "Wealth-Changing Golden Toad's" ability, your resistance to this anomalous object has greatly increased, and you are already able to shield yourself from general levels of influence.】

"Don't stop! Keep talking!"

Trying to move his legs that were grabbed by the frog hand, finding that although there was still some faint sluggishness, he could already move freely, Li Ang's mouth couldn't help but curl up happily, finding that he seemed to have underestimated the role of the Black Sheep.

Regarding the intelligence of this 【Demon Horn】, after the name given by 【Materialist Soul】, there were also three suffixes: 【Fallen】, 【Knowledge】, and 【Whisper】.

Among them, 【Fallen】 refers to the identity of the Black Sheep Demon, 【Whisper】 should be the ability to bewitch people and provoke rage, and as for the last 【Knowledge】, it corresponds to its broad knowledge as a Great Demon and the large amount of occult knowledge it should have mastered.

And this knowledge and insight, if it fell into the hands of others, might just be a piece of intelligence that might be useful, and it wouldn't have much meaning.

But if it fell into his own hands, the Black Sheep's knowledge, combined with the "the more you understand, the more you can resist" effect of the 【Materialist Soul】 badge, directly became an "anomaly" resistance that could be stably triggered, and it seemed that the effect could be even stronger... Hmm? Why is there no movement?

Not hearing the Black Sheep continue to provide intelligence for a long time, Li Ang, who was staring at the brightness of 【Materialist Soul】 and feeling that there was still room for improvement, couldn't help but urge:

"Is the ability finished? What about weaknesses? Characteristics? And the name of that True God? Hurry up and keep talking!"

"..."

Hearing Li Ang's urging, the Black Sheep couldn't help but open its mouth, not knowing how to answer for a while, and finally could only remind him with a helpless face:

"Kid, do you want to look up first?"

Look up? Could it be...

Hearing the Black Sheep's words, Li Ang's expression couldn't help but slightly freeze.

After he looked around and found that the aging of the people around him had stopped at some point, Li Ang couldn't help but look up with a stiff face and look toward the center of the shopping plaza.

Sure enough, those giant compound eyes that shouldn't have grown in the toad's eye sockets had already firmly locked onto him from a distance of six or seven hundred meters, and those hundreds of dense, strange eyes were filled with human-like, thick surprise.

"..."

No way?

After making eye contact with those two creepy giant compound eyes, Li Ang couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart.

Because he was worried about being discovered, after regaining his freedom just now, he only moved a small distance of less than 5 centimeters. Now, with tens of thousands of people struggling in this plaza, you can spot me at a glance?

Strange... this should be a person, right?

Looking at the human covered in demonic aura, the golden toad's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, revealing a strange smile full of interest.

After responding to the prayers of its believers and descending into this plaza full of greed and money, it originally only planned to kill some people casually and deal with it before leaving. It didn't expect there to be an unexpected surprise.

If it didn't feel wrong, the guy shrinking his head and tail beside him should be the guy who descended rashly before and ended up being dismantled into seven parts.

The giant compound eyes rotated slightly, focusing the focus of its vision on the shopping bag in Li Ang's hand, and the golden toad's mouth couldn't help but curl wider and wider.

Amazing!

As expected of a Great Demon whose status was near-god during its peak period, even though it had already fallen to this point, it actually still had the energy to help others resist its control!

Looking at the Black Sheep with admiration, the golden toad raised its slimy right front leg, held up a large pile of gold wheels, and then suddenly clenched it fiercely. These gold wheels, enough to bury an adult, instantly shattered and disappeared without a trace.

And at the same time, Li Ang, who was six or seven hundred meters away, only felt the world in front of him blur slightly. He, along with a few road bricks under his feet, lost his trace along with the crushed gold wheels.

When Li Ang's figure appeared again, he had actually been moved along with the bricks to the front of the golden toad, only a step away from that slightly curled giant toad mouth!

"Chosen familiar of the devil, I ask you."

Looking at Li Ang, whose expression was unusually stiff, with lingering fear in his eyes, but who still clutched a broom tightly and refused to let go, the giant golden toad smiled and playfully curled its mouth wider.

"Why resist? Don't you want to sell your life to me?"
