Ask about the Immortal Way

"Fellow Daoist Lu, will the stone toad escape from its nest because of external threats?"

After searching for a long time, still to no avail.

Qin Sang couldn't help but ask the questions in his heart.

The threat he was talking about was the corpse flame moth swarm.

After killing the group of Corpse Flame Moths, they continued their search and found that many tunnels were completely silent and could not find even a living creature.

Not surprisingly, they should all have been slaughtered by the Corpse Flame Moth.

The corpse flame moth swarms have no natural enemies here, and they are massacred, posing a fatal threat to the creatures in this area. The insect beasts with keen senses must have migrated away.

During the search process, they also tried their best to suppress their own Nascent Soul aura.

Lu Zhang frowned and said, "The corpse flame moth should not be able to see through the camouflage of the stone toad. As long as the environment here is not severely damaged, the stone toad should not be frightened away. Although there is no clear record, I suspect that before the stone toad matures, the nest It has an irreplaceable effect on it.”

…

"Stone toad?"

The man in gray robe in the distance rubbed his chin and thought for a while, unable to recall the origin of the stone toad.

Seeing that the other party would not leave for a while, the man in gray robe retreated underground and reported the matter to the strange-faced man, "...One is an elder from Bu Nian Mountain, and the other is a stranger, but his cultivation is not bad, both are Yuan In the middle stage of infancy. The two of them are looking for a stone toad, but they don’t know what treasure it is.”

The man with the strange face said nothing.

The man in gray robe waited for a while and said tentatively: "Master, these two people have come all the way here, so this treasure must be of extremely high value..."

He didn't care that he would offend Wu Nianshan. The leader of Wu Nianshan was at most equal to the master. If he robbed him, he would rob him. So what could Wu Nianshan do?

The man with the strange face was noncommittal, pondered for a long time, and said leisurely: "If it is that kind of spiritual creature, it is a good candidate for becoming a Gu beast, and its potential is far better than that of your colorful poisonous spider..."

The man in gray robe was overjoyed when he heard this.

The man with the strange face stood up, reached out to grab the jade beetle in front of him, and flicked his sleeves to imprison the remaining corpse flame moths here. Then close the formation, cover up the traces here, and walk out of the formation.

The man in gray robe quickly followed.

The man with the strange face took his time. He first went to the place where Qin Sang and the others slaughtered the Corpse Flame Moth, took a quick look around, and then asked the man in gray robe to continue tracking the target.

"They are still looking!" The man in gray robe said happily.

The man with the strange face had no intention of taking action immediately. Shi Shiran followed his apprentice and concentrated on refining the jade beetle, only letting the man in gray robe control the colorful poisonous spider to keep a close eye.

Seeing this, the man in gray robe understood the master's intention. Just seize the opportunity to take away the stone toad. There is no need to kill people, and there is no benefit in fighting the opponent to the death.

One of the opponents is from a famous family, and the other is definitely not bad in strength. He is not an easy person.

Thinking of harvesting a Gu beast with great potential.

The man in gray robe geared up and concentrated on controlling the colorful poisonous spider.

…

the other side.

Qin Sang and Lu Zhang have searched more than 70% of the area, and nearly two months have passed since they entered the basin. The two of them took turns, but they didn't feel tired at all.

They didn't encounter any large groups of corpse flame moths later, and there was no fatal danger that could threaten them.

It's just that after taking so long, it's hard to avoid feeling discouraged if nothing is gained in the end.

Lu Zhang is not very sure now.

In the secret passage.

The two activated the treasure-colored bells and shuttled through the spider web-like dark passage, listening to the same bell tones and moving forward silently.

Another rotation.

The Baose Bell was handed over to Qin Sang.

'Ring ring ring...'

Qin Sang was enjoying the pain, feeling like a porter selling goods on the street, running around with a rattle in his hand. When he said this to Lu Zhang, both of them laughed.

Laughter echoed in the dark passage.

suddenly.

Qin Sang's smile faded, and she let out a soft cry. Her eyes were like lightning, staring at the stone wall on one side. At the same time, the true energy in her body was running at full strength, and she spared no effort to pour into Baose Ling.

'bell! bell! bell! ’

The Baose bell vibrated crazily, and the sound was rapid and extremely harsh.

The Baoguang suddenly rose sharply and surged over like a tidal wave.

Under the precious light, every detail of the stone wall appears.

The stone wall was smooth and flat, with nothing on it, but after being covered by the precious light of the Baose Bell, the light here appeared strangely distorted.

Then, some round lines appeared on the gray-black stone wall, faintly outlining a frog-shaped pattern only the size of a thumb.

Stone toad!

The moment it was illuminated by the precious light, the stone toad sensed danger, moved its hind legs, and then the pattern on the stone wall disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

The stone toad is not as simple as disguising itself as a stone, but its whole body is integrated into the stone wall, and it can shuttle freely inside the stone wall, becoming proficient in earth escape.

It's completely unlike what Lu Zhang said before.

When escaping, the stone toad was not slow at all!

Lu Zhang responded quickly.

The moment Qin Sang discovered the traces of the stone toad, Lu Zhang snatched it out from behind him, and a green light shot out from between his eyebrows, transforming into a small green bell.

Qing Zhong skyrocketed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

There was a loud bang, and the stone wall was directly smashed into pieces by the green bell.

Not only were several nearby tunnels penetrated, but all the surrounding stone walls were razed to the ground by Lu Zhang. It even affected the upper and lower directions, and all the rocks connected to the place were broken.

In an instant, a man-made spherical cave appeared underground.

Qin Sang and Lu Zhang cooperated tacitly, and at the same time that the stone wall was penetrated, the treasure-colored bell flew high, and the treasure light shone in all directions, illuminating the entire area.

Rocks flying.

Smoke and dust were everywhere.

The way forward was cut off, and the stone toad was forced out of the rocks.

On its back, there was a faint flash of purple light, and it had begun to transform into a purple-striped spiritual toad, but they found it before the transformation was completed.

The stone toad dodged and merged into a stone, then quickly jumped between the stones and fled downwards at high speed.

Unfortunately, it has been locked and the illusion cannot be used.

'Bang bang bang...'

Lu Zhang's green bell was so powerful that it shook countless rubbles into powder, forcibly opening up a wide passage. The bell tilted slightly and aimed at the stone toad, shooting out a faint green beam of light.

The stone toad is about to be captured by Qing Zhong.

A sudden change occurred!

The smoke and dust below suddenly swelled, and a pale hand reached out, grabbing the stone toad first.

The strange thing that you have longed for is close at hand, but an uninvited guest appears.

Lu Zhang was furious, "How outrageous!"

The green bell vibrated wildly, as heavy as a stone, and hit the palm directly.

The figure of the strange-faced man appeared immediately after the palm. He looked at Qing Zhong with a sneer on his lips. He opened his mouth and spat out a wooden bead and flew towards Qing Zhong. At the same time, he grabbed the stone toad with his palm and clenched it with his five fingers!

However, he did not notice that at this time, Baose Ling's precious light had turned dim.

However, Qin Sang saw that the situation was not good and had no time to help, so he immediately put away this magic weapon that could break the illusion.

The next moment, the strange-faced man's smile stiffened and he looked down.

There was a stone toad somewhere in the palm of my hand, and it turned out to be a phantom flower.

The petals withered in an instant, and finally only one spiritual seed remained.
