The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

The next morning.

Lin Suzhou led Luo Li onto the mare and rode off towards the rising sun.

Along the way, they killed beasts and people they encountered, although everyone they met voluntarily fled.

Lin Suzhou was too lazy to chase after them most of the time, since killing spirit beasts could yield spirit essences, while killing them only yielded a blood-colored token.

The storage bags of Yang Hong and others alone contained no fewer than dozens of tokens. Lin Suzhou had a total of eighty-six tokens, and for the time being, he did not lack tokens.

The points earned in the Guardian Land will be reset to zero upon entering this Trial Grounds.

He currently only has thirty-two points, based on his observations over the past two days.

Spirit beasts in the Spirit Movement Realm are rated one to three points, those in the Spirit Wheel Realm are rated four to six points, and those in the Divine Soul Realm are rated seven to nine points.

As for other rare and precious materials, they are also calculated based on their strength, but they are extremely difficult to find, and each one is protected by a powerful accompanying spirit beast.

But killing other students earns you five points per head!

At this moment, Lin Suzhou finally understood why Zhao Long had suggested they kill someone while guarding the place.

If there are 120 people and 30 are left, then there is a total of at least 450 points!

The Spirit Road is truly cruel...

Fortunately, he had the Luo Ling Heavenly Horse to travel with him, and at noon, Lin Suzhou arrived at the entrance of a gloomy valley.

"Huff huff"

A chilling wind kept blowing from inside, which was quite eerie.

Lin Suzhou and Luo Li exchanged a glance. Seeing the determination in each other's eyes, Lin Suzhou lightly kicked the horse's belly with his left foot, and the mare plunged into the howling wind of the valley.

After advancing several hundred meters into the valley, Lin Suzhou did not encounter any spirit beasts.

He became even more certain that there was an extremely powerful spirit beast inside, possibly even ranked on the Earth Ranking, a high-level spirit beast comparable to the Divine Soul Realm!

Although the chances are slim, you might actually run into one if you're unlucky.

It wasn't until Lin Suzhou and his companion had completely entered the valley that they looked around. The valley was dark and damp, covered in moss, and water was constantly dripping from the cliffs.

"Croak, croak—"

Suddenly, the croaking of a toad caught Lin Suzhou and Luo Li's attention.

Following the sound, the two saw a green pool at the foot of the mountain wall ahead.

The cries came from there.

Lin Suzhou first had Luo Li dismount, while he rode the mare closer to the pool to observe what the toad looked like and how strong it was.

"puff."

Suddenly, a huge shadow leaped out of the pool and landed on a giant rock, at which point Lin Suzhou finally saw the toad in its entirety.

Its skin was jet black, but its belly was incredibly white and tender, and its back was covered with pustules of all sizes containing deadly poison.

Standing two zhang tall, its most striking feature was its third eye. As this enormous vertical pupil swept across the room, Lin Suzhou felt as if it could see right through him.

This toad is actually at the peak of the late stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm, just one step away from entering the Divine Soul Realm and joining the ranks of high-level spirit beasts!

"It's a three-eyed demon toad! Be very careful not to get splashed with its venom!"

Luo Li chimed in, "Its third eye can slow down the movement of objects; even a speeding Imperial Swan would appear several times slower to it!"

"Then I'll try and see if this outfit is a miracle worker!"

Lin Suzhou made up his mind and rode his little mare toward the three-eyed demon toad.

"The Goddess of the Luo River's petals fall!"

As Lin Suzhou approached, he immediately unleashed a hundred sword shadows.

But the three-eyed demon toad leaped lightly and landed not far from Luo Li, its tongue covered in mucus reaching out towards her.

Fortunately, Luo Li was no mere ornament. She wielded the Luo Shen Sword with great skill, and a sound like cutting through the tide rang out. The three-eyed demon toad was actually injured in the tongue by Luo Li's sword.

"Croak!"

The three-eyed toad cried out in pain, then seemed to get angry, slowly turning around, its pustules on its back continuously secreting multicolored venom.

Fortunately, Lin Suzhou arrived on horseback in time, helped Luo Li onto his horse, and left the spot.

"Heh heh."

The spot where Luo Li had just stood was instantly corroded by the venom, and the bubbling sound of the rotting stone rose and fell.

Lin Suzhou breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he arrived in time.

"You stay here with the mare, I'll be right back!"

Lin Suzhou dismounted and returned to the valley.

When the three-eyed demon toad saw that Lin Suzhou dared to come back, it immediately spat out dozens of venomous rays.

Lin Suzhou kept spinning the Shouluo Sword in his hand, and the raging crimson flames directly blocked it, evaporating it into water vapor.

White mist quickly filled the valley, obscuring Lin Suzhou's figure.

"With the fog concealing me, how can your third eye see me?"

Lin Suzhou muttered something under his breath, then suddenly appeared behind it, wielding his sword with both hands and bringing it down heavily: "Goddess of the Luo River Strikes the Water!"

The attack, which gathered all of Lin Suzhou's strength, landed and instantly sliced ​​the three... three giant rocks in half.

The three-eyed toad had spotted his movements early on and leaped directly into the open area in the center of the valley, its huge, slimy tongue shooting towards him.

"Can it even see through the fog?"

Lin Suzhou was really feeling a bit tricky this time; he hadn't encountered enough different kinds of spirit beasts.

At this moment, he placed all his hopes on the Luoshen Robe he was wearing. This robe was a low-grade divine artifact, so it shouldn't be bad, right?

With this thought in mind, Lin Suzhou rallied, adjusted his breathing, and charged straight at it.

Seeing that the slow-moving ant dared to attack him, the three-eyed toad did not dodge this time. Instead, it turned around, took a deep breath, and sprayed venom from its back.

"Croak!"

Seeing the venom coming at him, Lin Suzhou chose to face it head-on, gripping his sword tightly with both hands, and leaping high into the air after a running start.

"The Goddess of the Luo River is a peerless beauty!"

When the venom hit Luo Shen's robe, the blue robe suddenly formed a blue water shield, blocking the venom.

The water shield then exploded, and some of the venom even flew into the three-eyed toad's third eye.

At that moment, the toad felt something get into its eye. It subconsciously raised its hand to rub its eyes, and when it opened them again, it saw a flaming longsword falling towards its head.

"Croak!"

The three-eyed toad was about to jump, but it was too late.

It can see things clearly, not because it is incredibly fast.

The moment its legs left the ground, the Shouluo Sword struck its head heavily, then slid down, slicing it symmetrically from the center of its body.

Lin Suzhou took out its green essence, exhaled, and sat down heavily on the ground.

That sword strike really exhausted him.

As soon as they stepped out of the valley, Luo Li and the mare came to greet them.

"How is it!?"

Luo Li stepped forward and asked with concern.

Lin Suzhou smiled without saying a word, but simply raised a green spirit and shook it.

"Phew, I thought you couldn't beat that three-eyed demon toad."

"How is that possible!?"

Lin Suzhou smiled confidently: "I am the Empress's man. How could I protect her without some strength?"

"Stop bragging and keep earning points."

Luo Li laughed out loud and urged.

"Yes, sir."

Lin Suzhou laughed loudly, carried Luo Li onto his horse, and continued towards the sun!
