Chapter 1505
Everyone looked at each other, but Ye Liuyun still suggested: 'I'll go in and take a look; you wait here for me! Guo Da, set up the Defense Array.'
Every time Ye Liuyun left the group, he never forgot to remind them to prepare their defenses.
Ribbit!
Before Ye Liuyun could even move, another clearer frog croak sounded, its voice carrying far away.
'Not bad strength!' Ye Liuyun felt that this frog's True Essence must be quite solid.
'If you can't, use poison; don't clash head‑on!' Luo Yun reminded Ye Liuyun, fearing he might fall victim to the frog's sneak attack.
'Okay!' Ye Liuyun agreed, jumped into the Cave, and walked inside.
The inside of the cave was dark and slippery, actually quite suitable for the survival of frog-type ferocious beasts.
Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Pupil, released his Divine Sense, and stayed on high alert.
The cave sloped slightly upward all the way, and it often required turning, but there was only one passage, so Ye Liuyun didn't have to worry about getting lost.
Not long after, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detected that after a few more turns, ahead lay a spacious hall.
Inside the hall there was a pool filled entirely with Life Spring Water; in the center of the pool sat a large bead, which should be the source producing the Life Spring Water.
On top of the bead crouched a small‑sized green toad, staring toward the hall's entrance.
Its Divine Sense was also strong; at this moment it noticed Ye Liuyun entering, appearing somewhat nervous, yet it did not emit a frog croak to warn Ye Liuyun not to approach.
Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil still couldn't see the toad, so he didn't know what abilities it possessed.
But at least the toad's Divine Sense was relatively strong, so Ye Liuyun dared not lightly launch a Spiritual Soul Attack.
If the toad's Soul were to approach the Divine Rank, it would invite heavenly thunder and alert other Martial Cultivators in the Sunset Mountain Range.
He and the toad stared at each other as he continued forward, making several more turns.
Just as he was about to step into the hall, 'Ribbit!' the green toad croaked again.
Accompanying that croak, a burst of black gas spewed out and surged along the passage toward Ye Liuyun.
At the same time, that frog croak contained an extremely powerful sonic attack, but the green toad kept the attack range extremely subtle, not letting the sonic attack spread far.
'Is that all you've got?' Ye Liuyun chuckled inwardly, absorbing the poisonous gas while walking into the hall.
As soon as he could see the green toad, he immediately used his Golden Pupil to probe its interior.
'This guy is pure poison!' Seeing the green toad, Ye Liuyun actually became delighted.
A flash of his Golden Pupil, and he sent Nether Ghost Fire blazing toward the toad.
But the toad instantly leapt into the Life Spring Water to evade the fire's attack.
Ye Liuyun seized the moment it jumped aside and moved that large bead into the Space World.
At the same time, he infused the Life Spring Water into his Space World in batches.
'Ribbit, ribbit…' the toad instantly panicked, its croaks continually attacking Ye Liuyun while poisonous gas kept spewing out.
Ye Liuyun paid no heed to its sonic attack, and he directly absorbed all the poisonous gas.
Seeing that it could not deal with Ye Liuyun, the toad launched a direct attack with its long tongue.
The toad's tongue attack was truly swift; Ye Liuyun failed to dodge the first strike and was hit squarely.
But an attack of the Heavenly Venerable Triple could not even leave a white mark on his current Physical Body, let alone injure him.
The toad struck twice more; seeing that Ye Liuyun didn't even bother to dodge, it realized it could not overcome him and unleashed its trump card, lunging straight at Ye Liuyun.
Inside every bump on its body lay deadly poison; it intended to kill Ye Liuyun with lethal toxins.
Ye Liuyun smiled faintly, released his clone, and said: 'This is an excellent source of poison!'
Afterward, the two of them joined forces, releasing Golden Crow Holy Fire to trap the toad in the midst of the flames.
Ye Liuyun had just absorbed the poisonous gas released by the toad, and it was already quite taxing for him.
The toad's poison is extremely virulent. If Ye Liuyun had not cultivated the Ten Thousand Poison Heart Sutra, he would not have time to take an antidote pill right now and would instantly turn into a puddle of thick liquid.
Therefore Ye Liuyun also worried that, should the toad draw near, its poison would be too strong for him to absorb.
However, after he and his clone set the fire, seeing that the toad had no way to escape, they both relaxed at once.
'The bead you just moved into the Space World is really strange; as long as it receives a supply of Life Spring Water, it can produce more Life Spring Water. With that bead, we will have an endless source of Life Spring Water from now on!' the clone told Ye Liuyun.
'Yeah! This trip has indeed yielded a great harvest!' Ye Liuyun also felt that venturing out with Meng Zhangxing had brought enormous gains.
'What should we do with this green toad?' the clone asked Ye Liuyun.
The toad, now surrounded by flames and at a loss, seeing Ye Liuyun and his clone pondering how to deal with it, immediately launched a proactive Spiritual Soul Attack aimed at Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.
It had long realized that Ye Liuyun's Soul was very strong, but now there was no other option; it could only take a desperate gamble.
Ye Liuyun and his clone merely smiled and immediately withdrew the Golden Crow Holy Fire.
The Ten Thousand Gods Command never fails; that toad is as good as dead!
Afterward, the two moved the toad into the Xuan Kong Shi and began refining it. They even summoned Liang Xue, Lei Ming, and others to help enhance each person's poison source.
The deadly poison contained within this toad's body is far more potent than any other poison source they had found.
The six of them spent an entire day inside the Xuan Kong Shi before they could fully refine the toad.
Just as Ye Liuyun emerged from the Xuan Kong Shi, he received a message transmitted by Guo Da via a Transmission Talisman.
'We're surrounded by poisonous toads. Our defensive formations have already been breached three layers; we can't hold out much longer!'
'There are still more outside?' Ye Liuyun felt a surge of joy, running outward while telling Guo Da he'd be out shortly.
He estimated that this toad should be the king of the toads here; it used its calls to summon the other toads.
Before he even reached the cave's exterior, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detected tens of thousands of green toads besieging the movement technique set up by Guo Da.
The poisonous gas they spewed had already formed a black corrosive shroud outside the formation, eroding the formation's defensive barrier.
Ye Liuyun immediately released his clone, Liang Xue, Long Nv, and others, having everyone join together to capture those toads.
The toxicity of these toads far surpasses that of the little one just encountered.
After absorbing that highly toxic green toad just now, they even began to catch them directly with their hands.
The poison gas previously released by the toads was also gradually absorbed and transformed by several people into their own poison source.
These green toads are also stupid, low realm, not strong poison, yet they don't know to flee. Until Ye Liuyun and others caught them all, none escaped.
Ye Liuyun estimated they wouldn't dare to withdraw on their own without the toad king's orders.
