Chen Xiao did not dare to continue fighting and immediately turned to run.
After being successfully ambushed, how could the giant toad let Chen Xiao off so easily? It cried out once again as its massive body soared into the air. With a leap, it instantly closed the distance significantly.
The air seemed to tremble from the giant toad's cries. Chen Xiao felt her scalp tingle as she quickened her pace.
Every time the giant toad leaped down, it would press down on the ground like a small mountain, causing the ground to shake.
Seeing that the giant toad was about to catch up to her, a flame suddenly appeared in Chen Xiao's hand and she quickly threw it out.
The fire was not big, but it immediately ignited the firewood Chen Xiao had placed in the surroundings. Suddenly, the surroundings of Chen Xiao lit up.
The giant toad froze. Its lantern-like eyes seemed to be unable to bear the fire as they blinked. Not long after, a large amount of tears flowed out.
Chen Xiao knew that his plan had finally succeeded!
In the dark of the night, demon beasts were the most afraid of firelight. Their eyes were not used to being exposed to the strong light.
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Chen Xiao no longer hesitated. She brandished her sword and charged at the giant toad.
The pitiful giant toad was already dizzy from the brightness of the flames. How could it capture Chen Xiao's figure? It could only suffer from her constant stabbing wounds.
"Caw!"
"Caw, caw!"
"Caw, caw, caw!"
The gigantic toad wailed incessantly. The intense sound waves caused Chen Xiao to retreat continuously, but Chen Xiao grew braver as the battle progressed. As long as the gigantic toad stopped its cries, Chen Xiao would charge even more madly.
Not long after, the giant toad's body was filled with wounds. Its bloody body was cut into pieces by the sword, and the scene was a sight to behold.
However, there was no trace of joy on Chen Xiao's face. Instead, he gradually frowned. This was because even under Chen Xiao's attack, the giant toad did not fall down. Although the wailing sounds sounded sad, they still gave a clear and loud feeling.
Although Chen Xiao's attacks were numerous, the damage they dealt to the giant toad was not fatal.
"It looks like I have to find this giant toad's weakness and attack it!" Chen Xiao pondered to herself before shifting her gaze to the giant toad's lantern-sized eyes. "Let's test them out."
Chen Xiao sprung up once again, aiming for the giant toad's eye and viciously stabbing at it.
"Caw!"
This time, the wails were louder than ever. Chen Xiao had succeeded!
The giant toad lowered its body. It was obvious that Chen Xiao's attack had dealt sufficient damage to it.
Chen Xiao did not pause even for a moment after succeeding in her attack. She crossed her steps and once again stabbed at the giant toad's other eye.
This time, the giant toad seemed to know what Chen Xiao was thinking and immediately leaped up, dodging Chen Xiao's attack.
The giant toad's jumping power was extremely strong. With a light leap, it landed on top of Chen Xiao's head. Chen Xiao looked up and realized that the giant toad's body was pressing down on him like a small mountain.
With the giant toad's body at such a high altitude, no matter how powerful Chen Xiao was, she would be severely injured.
Thankfully, the giant toad had lost an eye and was unable to chase after Chen Xiao's retreating figure. It could only land heavily on the ground by itself.
And the moment it landed, Chen Xiao did not even give it a chance to catch its breath as she immediately rushed forward, targeting the giant toad's other eye.
The giant toad flew into a rage. The frog cries continued to resound from its mouth, one after another. It was as though it wanted to use these sound waves to shatter Chen Xiao's internal organs.
He could only clench his teeth and endure it bitterly. According to the current situation, there could only be one side left alive in the battle between the giant toad and Chen Xiao. If not, Chen Xiao would die, or the giant toad would die.
Upon realizing that Chen Xiao had managed to withstand the sound wave attack, the giant toad was alarmed and immediately leaped up. It wanted to use its powerful jumping strength to suppress Chen Xiao.
However, this time, Chen Xiao was not unprepared. With a flick of his finger, a rock shot out rapidly and followed closely behind the giant toad. Its target was naturally still that gigantic eye.
The giant toad apparently did not expect Chen Xiao to have such an action. Without being able to defend himself, his eyes were ruthlessly focused. Although he was not blind, his body was affected.
Chen Xiao was already prepared by the side. When she saw the giant toad descend, she immediately took up her sword and charged forward, stabbing fiercely at the only giant eye.
"Caw!"
This time, the giant toad's cry was truly filled with sorrow. Its entire body rolled about on the ground, and what had lost its eyes was not only its discomfort, but also its injuries.
After successfully blinding the gigantic toad's eyes, Chen Xiao once again retreated to the side. It was not because he did not want to quickly eliminate the demonic beast, but because the gigantic toad was currently rolling around.
After a long while, the giant toad seemed to have used up all of its energy and fell to the ground weakly. Only its stomach was still moving up and down, probably relying on resting to recover its strength.
How could Chen Xiao wait for it to fulfill its wish? If it did not move now, when would it? He immediately stealthily moved forward, aimed at the giant toad's forehead and thrust out with all his strength.
The pitiful giant toad's eyes were no longer visible. Against such a fatal strike, it had no way of dodging at all. It could only let Chen Xiao succeed.
He pulled out his sword, and black and red blood gushed out like a fountain and spurted towards the sky. The giant toad's body slowly fell down as the blood dripped to the ground.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao's serious face finally relaxed a little.
Only when the blood ran out did Chen Xiao walk towards the giant toad. He discovered that the giant toad's body had already started to stiffen. It was as though it was dead.
Only then did Chen Xiao wipe the sweat from her face and sheathe her sword.
Turning around, she walked towards the location of the Myriad Mystical Ginseng. Chen Xiao suddenly became excited. This was the first time she had personally obtained something like this.
Step by step, they approached the Ten Thousand Year Mystical Ginseng. Chen Xiao still maintained her due diligence. Although the giant toad had already been eliminated, who knew if there would be other demonic beasts? There was also no rule that only one demon beast could guard the side of the Ten Thousand Year Dark Ginseng.
However, when Chen Xiao reached the side of the Myriad Mystical Ginseng, she did not encounter another demonic beast. He finally thought of the giant toad, so the other demonic beasts did not dare to linger around.
Facing the Mysterious Spirithail Dragon at a close distance, Chen Xiao could feel the difference. Just the seven-colored glow was enough to intoxicate him, not to mention the medicinal fragrance emitted by the Mysterious Spirithail Dragon, which seemed to be able to help his body recover. Xiao Chen felt that the injuries he suffered from his battle with the giant toad had already started to slowly recover.
The Ten Thousand Year Old Mystical Ginseng was actually this magical? After carefully feeling the wounds on his body, Chen Xiao realized that it was not a psychological effect. Rather, it was truly slowly recovering. Immediately, his position in his heart towards the Myriad Mystical Ginseng increased by a few points.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao thought of Wang Huang, who was still unconscious. Without any hesitation, she dug out the Myriad Mystical Ginseng.
As soon as the Ten Thousand Year Mystical Ginseng left, the gentle multicolored light instantly disappeared, and only the fragrance it continuously exuded became even stronger.
Chen Xiao took out a clean piece of cloth and carefully wrapped the Myriad Mystical Ginseng within before placing it in her bosom.
"Eh, this feeling …" "How strange!" At this moment, an abnormal feeling enveloped Chen Xiao's entire body, giving him an indescribable feeling of comfort.
This feeling of comfort was not the result of his body relaxing or relaxing. Rather, his spiritual sense had become very clear, as if his entire body had become much more energetic.
Chen Xiao knew that this feeling was not brought about by the Myriad Spirit Ginseng, so she immediately knew that there was an extraordinary mystery nearby.
However, there was no need for Chen Xiao to deliberately look for it. At the spot where the giant toad had once squatted, in a deep pit, Chen Xiao discovered a stone staircase leading downwards. It was clearly the entrance to a secret chamber.
"Cultivation Land!" Chen Xiao was alarmed as these words suddenly appeared in his heart. This was because the feeling of clarity that came from his spiritual sense was very much like how Lu Qingyun had once told him about the feeling in the precious training grounds.
This time, Chen Xiao was truly stunned. He never expected that in the range of the Hidden Dragon Gate, there was actually a precious cultivation ground beneath the cliffs of the Strange Mist Peak.
One must know that the reason why cultivation treasures were so attractive was not only to increase one's cultivation speed, but also to cultivate in the precious land of cultivation. It could be said that one would not have Qigong deviation.
Not being affected by the demonic barrier in their hearts was the true attraction of this precious cultivation ground. It was also the place where the various sects fought for it with their lives!
Thinking of the Hidden Dragon Sect's Sect Leader and the other disciples dying because of their precious cultivation ground, Chen Xiao sighed lightly. Then, she turned around and headed to the place where Wang Huang was unconscious.
It was not that he was not interested in the cultivation treasure, but now that he knew the location, there was no need to rush. The most important thing right now was to give it a try with the Myriad Mystical Ginseng and see if he could wake up the unconscious Wang Huang.
The Ten Thousand Year Mystical Ginseng was extremely potent. Chen Xiao was worried that Wang Huang would not be able to handle it in a short while, so she could only bite down on it piece by piece and feed it to Wang Huang. Furthermore, every time she fed it, she had to observe it for a period of time to see if there was anything abnormal with it before continuing to feed it.
Wang Huang swallowed half of the Myriad Mystical Ginseng until daybreak. However, he still did not wake up.
"Could it be that this Myriad Mystical Ginseng is useless against Wang Huang?" Chen Xiao held onto the remaining half of the Mysterious Ten Thousand Year Ginseng and could not help but think this way.
