Chapter 1450: Golden Blood Toad

"Fine!" the Nine-tailed Fox could only reluctantly agree and entered a Divine Soul Contract with Ye Liuyun.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun sent Lei Ming to fetch the mother white fox, had the beasts carry the unconscious Meng Zhangxing and the others away, leaving the Nine-tailed Fox's territory.

The white Nine-tailed Fox was coerced and enticed by Ye Liuyun, who snatched away one cub.

It felt deep resentment, but upon seeing the demon‑transforming pill in its grasp, it thought its decision was correct.

Moreover, it knew Ye Liuyun was about to clash with the neighboring beasts, so it immediately retreated to its den and used the time to practice shape‑changing.

Regardless of Ye Liuyun's victory or loss, the neighboring beasts would still be a drain.

Training now was the safest option.

After Ye Liuyun and his group left the Nine-tailed Fox's territory, they halted immediately, waiting for the others to awaken. Lei Ming was then pulled back into the Space World.

He cradled the white fox and fed it a good amount of food.

The white fox was indeed clever; knowing it could not resist Ye Liuyun, it simply ate whenever food was offered, conserving strength for a possible escape.

Ye Liuyun did not forge any contract with it nor attempt to control it; he waited for Luo Yun to awaken and handed it to her directly.

Although the white fox is at the Yin‑Yang Realm, Ye Liuyun believes Luo Yun will come to like it. If she does not, he can return it.

A short while later, Luo Yun and the others gradually woke up.

Upon waking, Luo Yun inspected her clothing, and seeing no abnormalities, she relaxed.

She did not feel comfortable asking Ye Liuyun what had happened earlier, remaining silent.

Meng Zhangxing spoke up: "What's happening to me? Why do I feel I was just knocked down by an opponent?"

"You all fell victim to an illusion earlier."

Ye Liuyun recounted the earlier events to them and handed the white fox to Luo Yun.

"What a cute little creature!" Luo Yun said, a bit distracted.

When Ye Liuyun spoke earlier, Meng Zhangxing and the others had treated him as an enemy and attacked.

If that's all true, then she must have taken off her clothes just now…

"That little one's spirit intelligence must be high. Its father has already cultivated to the point of speaking human language. When I fed it earlier, it was already scouting escape routes!" Ye Liuyun told Luo Yun.

"I want it! Thank you!" Luo Yun hurriedly thanked Ye Liuyun.

But she immediately flushed and turned her head away.

She suddenly realized the straps on her armor were tied in an unfamiliar way; it must have been Ye Liuyun who, after knocking her unconscious, redressed her clothing and armor.

Thus she felt extremely embarrassed and dared not look Ye Liuyun straight in the eye.

Seeing her expression, Ye Liuyun guessed her thoughts and deliberately gave her a slight avoidance.

After Luo Yun formed a contract with the white fox, she returned it to the Space World and set off with the group.

Meng Zhangxing and Ye Liuyun continued discussing the white Nine-tailed Fox, and no one paid special attention to her.

"Stop!"

Ye Liuyun suddenly spoke, cutting off Meng Zhangxing, his expression turning serious.

"The scent of blood is especially strong here!" Ye Liuyun instantly released his Divine Sense to locate the beasts, while signaling Meng Zhangxing to retreat.

Meng Zhangxing immediately fell back beside Guo Da and Luo Yun.

"Stop constantly bothering him; let him focus on scouting so he won't be distracted. If real danger appears, regret will be too late!" Luo Yun scolded Meng Zhangxing.

"You're worried he might be in danger?" Meng Zhangxing laughed.

"You…" Luo Yun raised her hand to strike.

Meng Zhangxing made a silencing gesture, reminding her not to disturb Ye Liuyun.

Luo Yun gave him a withering look, refusing to engage.

Ye Liuyun only noticed the blood scent after the giant python's warning.

His Divine Sense expanded, revealing blood spattered across the ground and trees ahead, as if a great massacre had occurred.

"With so much blood, how many beasts must have been slain to create this scene?"

Ye Liuyun was puzzled; the trees here were intact, unlike a battlefield.

He scanned with his Divine Sense for a while before detecting a True Essence fluctuation within a blood pool.

"What is this?" Ye Liuyun could not guess what kind of beast it was.

The blood pool was small yet could completely cover the beast, indicating the creature was not large.

This time, Ye Liuyun acted wisely, sending a beast to scout the situation first.

When the beast approached the blood pool, Ye Liuyun could finally see its form.

It was a golden toad, its body oozing blood, looking terrifying. It was Ye Liuyun's first time seeing such a blood‑soaked beast.

The golden toad emerged from the blood pool, spitting a beam of blood that pierced the beast's head. It then spat another blood beam, piercing the beast's artery and causing it to bleed.

Fresh blood flowed out, gathering back into the pool, after which the golden toad retreated into the blood pool again.

"Shall we go around it?" Ye Liuyun suggested to the others.

"What's the matter? What kind of beast is it?" Meng Zhangxing asked.

"It's a golden toad, drenched in blood," Ye Liuyun replied.

He then described the observed situation and the beast's manner of death.

"Blood Toad! And a Blood Toad King!" Upon hearing this, Luo Yun excitedly answered, "Only a golden blood toad can be called a Blood Toad King!"

Meng Zhangxing and Guo Da also became excited.

"Blood Toad King? Why are you all so excited?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"Don't you know? Blood toads are the finest material for enhancing bloodlines! A golden Blood Toad King is priceless! Moreover, this one is a Ninth‑Heaven Sovereign level Blood Toad King!" Luo Yun explained.

"Do you have any way to deal with it?" Ye Liuyun retorted.

"Of course!" Luo Yun hadn't expected that she actually had a place to put her abilities.

"Oh?" Ye Liuyun also became interested: "You go ahead and tell me."

"Poison it!" Luo Yun said.

"If it's poisoned to death, does it still have value?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

"If it's poisoned to death it's useless, but I'm only going to stupefy it, not take its life. It can still be rescued!" Luo Yun said, pulling out a pill.

"However, you'll have to sacrifice a ferocious beast. You need a ferocious beast to go over, let it bleed, then pour the poisoned blood into the blood pit," Luo Yun explained.

"Then let that crocodile do it!" Ye Liuyun said, selecting the captured crocodile of the Heavenly Sovereign Ba Chong.

Luo Yun looked at its size, took another pill, and had Ye Liuyun feed it to the crocodile.
