From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

The white python did not answer, its vertical pupils gleaming, and a spiritual aura gradually rose from its body. Its tail tip swayed slightly, and its body gradually tensed.

"Hehe, Sister Bai, you'd better think this through."

Seeing this, the blue-eyed toad knew that the other party's animal instincts had taken over, probably because it had a strong sense of territory, and it was likely that it was about to make a move.

However, it remained completely calm and continued, "I come from the Blue-Eyed Golden Toad clan. The swamps within a hundred miles are all my clan's territory. Moreover, my clan has Foundation Establishment cultivators to suppress you...."

It croaked halfway through its sentence, then its big eyes darted around and looked toward the hole in the large willow tree behind the white python.

"Could my little green crocodile sister be hiding in here? Little green crocodile sister? Come out and see me! You quietly left your original place, and I missed you so much~"

The blue-eyed toad raised its voice and tilted its body slightly to look into the dark, deep hollow of the large willow tree.

There was no response from inside.

A few breaths later, the blue-eyed toad's eyes darted around, and a sense of doubt arose in its heart.

"Could it be... that Sister Green Crocodile came here to establish her foundation?"

The moment this idea came to mind, the blue-eyed toad was filled with turbulent emotions. The more it thought about it, the more likely it felt that its guess was possible!

But on the surface, it remained the same, only its eyes shifted slightly before it called out:

"Since the green crocodile sister doesn't want to come out, and there's also this white sister, then I'll be leaving now, quack!"

Before the blue-eyed toad could turn around, the white python's voice rang out behind it.

"I suddenly remembered, the green crocodile sister you're looking for seems to be under a red banyan tree in that direction."

As he spoke, the white python raised its tail and pointed in a direction.

The blue-eyed golden toad looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Sister Bai, is what you say true?"

"You are unaware of this." The white python's tail gently twirled a few times in mid-air. "This land has an owner, an old baboon, who is about to establish his foundation. We beasts who have embarked on the path of cultivation must all serve him as our master."

"It's right under the red-leaf banyan tree."

"What!?" The blue-eyed golden toad croaked in shock, the words "Foundation Building" in the passage successfully catching its attention.

"Very well, very well, so there are actually beasts daring to establish their foundations here without our clan's very noses? This is a great calamity!"

Hearing the blue-eyed toad's whispers, the white python chuckled, "Although the blue-eyed toad clan is powerful, this territory... doesn't seem to be entirely under their jurisdiction, does it?"

"Nonsense!" The blue-eyed golden toad immediately jumped ten feet high and said, "It wasn't originally like that, but now that the Flamebreath Fox Clan is in turmoil, this territory has long been considered to belong to our clan. The remaining red-haired foxes are just seeking refuge!"

The blue-eyed toad's eyes darted around, its expression shifting between light and shadow, before it suddenly asked, "Sister Bai, that old baboon hasn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet?"

"Soon," the white python replied calmly.

"It's good that he hasn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage, it's good that he hasn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage." After muttering to himself for a few moments, the Blue-Eyed Golden Toad suddenly raised its head and said confidently, "This territory belongs to my Blue-Eyed Golden Toad clan! I'm going to go and meet that ungrateful old baboon!"

Having said that, it spat out a golden leaf from its mouth, its entire body surging with magical power. The leaf immediately shone brightly and flew off in the direction it had come from.

After doing all this, the blue-eyed toad jumped in the direction indicated by the white python, showing no fear.

Looking at its round, plump back, the white python didn't make any move.

And right there in the mud beneath it, Li Yi silently swung his huge tail and followed.

After watching for a while, the white python returned to the hollow of the big willow tree with some worry.

"What a bold old baboon! Not to mention now, this area used to be the border between my tribe and the Red-haired Fox. Both tribes have rules that Foundation Establishment must be done under our noses. How dare you break these rules that have been passed down for thousands of years!"

The blue-eyed golden toad, at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage, hopped around while muttering to itself.

Before long, a fiery red shadow appeared in the hazy yellow mist ahead, its color slightly dark.

Li Yi glanced at it and immediately felt suspicious.

This banyan tree wasn't like this before; its leaves never fell, burning like raging flames. Now...

"Sister Bai was right, this is indeed the place!"

Once the blue-eyed toad arrived at its destination, it became less arrogant and suddenly burrowed and rolled into the mud, startling Li Yi into thinking he had been exposed.

In a moment, it disguised itself as a mud toad and casually approached the banyan tree.

Only his pair of large blue eyes could not be concealed, constantly shooting out thieving glints as he scanned the scene under the red banyan tree.

Before long, the blue-eyed toad and Li Yi's gazes both fell on the tree below, and they stopped in their tracks.

Li Yi's heart tightened.

Under the red banyan tree, an old baboon with unkempt fur sat on the ground with its back to them, facing the tree trunk. A red leaf had fallen on its shoulder, indicating that it hadn't moved for a long time.

"Is this the Foundation Establishment stage?"

The blue-eyed golden toad stared at the old baboon's motionless figure, unable to sense its presence at all; its perception was as if it were passing through a poisonous barrier.

This situation did not deter the blue-eyed golden toad from being afraid, but then it thought that beasts needed a long time to establish their foundation, and this old baboon could not possibly be sitting openly under the tree to establish its foundation.

There were no other baboons around, so it was probably a lone traveler and needed to find a secluded spot.

Thinking this, the blue-eyed golden toad immediately assumed that the other party was playing tricks. If it had really established its foundation, it wouldn't need to stand there motionless with its back to it like this.

When apes embark on the path of cultivation, they are always cunning and prone to using tricks and deception.

"Cough cough."

The blue-eyed toad coughed lightly, shook off the mud covering its body, revealing its golden skin, and hopped forward.

"Fellow Daoist... are you aware that this territory belongs to my Blue-Eyed Golden Toad clan? Our clan's rules dictate that other beings seeking Foundation Establishment must either travel to our clan's territory or stay far away from this area!"

"What you've done, fellow Daoist, has already broken the rules. However, I see you haven't yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage. How about we go to the ancestral land of my Blue-Eyed Golden Toad?"

As it spoke, the blue-eyed toad slowly approached, its eyes darting around.

Meanwhile, Li Yi had already retreated far away, wanting to see what would happen next.

"Fellow Daoist? Fellow Daoist, you have quite the grand style! My Blue-Eyed Golden Toad clan has more than one Foundation Establishment Ancestor in charge. Fellow Daoist, you'd better cooperate a bit!"

As it spoke, the blue-eyed toad got ready, looking very confident.

This is because the skin of the Blue-Eyed Golden Toad clan is covered in deadly poison. Ordinary beasts and creatures will die instantly upon contact with it. Even those at the ninth level of Qi Refining, those of the same level as it, will be in big trouble.
