From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

Several blue-eyed golden toads had the upper hand in terms of momentum, but they also looked at the white python at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage with suspicion. Its body slowly tensed up, and the fine white scales rubbed against each other, like a spring compressed to its limit.

A fierce aura erupted from the white python's pupils, which were gradually shrinking into slits.

"One of my kind came here before, searching for a green-scaled crocodile at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Do you remember him?"

A blue-eyed golden toad at the ninth level of Qi Refining stepped forward, cautiously staring at the white python, and said.

Compared to the white python that suddenly appeared here, their main purpose this time was to find their missing companion.

After all, that blue-eyed golden toad was also at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and had the potential to reach the Foundation Establishment level. Even if the chance was slim, it was still a key force for the clan.

We can't just watch it disappear like this.

"Oh? I have indeed seen it before." The white python slowly moved its body, constantly changing its posture according to the positions of the blue-eyed toads, and slowly said.

"May I ask, fellow traveler, where is it now?"

The blue-eyed toad croaked, its deep voice conveying the stillness before an impending storm.

Before the words were even finished, the other blue-eyed toads exchanged glances briefly, all preparing for a fight.

The white python's strength was indeed something they feared, but not something they were afraid of. Once the white python gave an answer that made them suspicious, the battle would begin instantly.

"There's a banyan tree in that direction; is that where it went?"

Several blue-eyed toads glanced in the direction the white python pointed and asked, "What brings you here?"

"To win back its green crocodile sister," the white python answered honestly.

"So...it never came back?"

"No, the red banyan tree is the territory of an old baboon, and it is the ruler here."

The blue-eyed golden toads looked at each other again. One at the ninth level of Qi Refining and one at the seventh level stayed behind, while the other three quickly headed towards the red-leaf banyan tree.

The remaining two blue-eyed toads were still staring at the spot.

Not long after they left, a thick yellow fog suddenly rose up all around, rolling in and silently swallowing all senses.

"trap!"

A blue-eyed golden toad with nine levels of Qi cultivation turned its eyes and instantly spat out a faint golden light from its mouth, shooting towards the white python.

The white python also opened its mouth and spat out a small yellow crystal sword burning with pure solar flames, which collided with the golden light in mid-air.

Ding!

The sound of metal clashing was incredibly crisp, and the two beams of light burst apart, spinning and flying in mid-air.

The pale golden light revealed itself to be a pointed cone carved from some kind of jade, with patterns flowing across it that matched the color of the blue-eyed toad's back.

The next moment, the poisonous barrier around them suddenly and violently converged on this place, threatening to engulf it at an alarming speed.

The white python quickly retreated to the sheltered area of ​​the large willow tree and recalled the yellow crystal sword.

"kill!"

The two blue-eyed toads cried out in unison, then leaped forward swiftly, only to be trapped in the thick fog at the last moment.

They continued forward, only to find themselves horrified to discover that they were spinning in circles. All their efforts were in vain; the large willow tree, which was right in front of them, seemed to have vanished into thin air in the thick fog.

"Be careful!"

At this moment, the pale golden cone hovered above, rotating like a pointer, while two blue-eyed toads stood back to back, warily watching their surroundings.

During this long silence, they did not figure out the situation and did not launch an attack.

The sharp, pointed spike hanging high above his head constantly radiates a piercing golden light, yet it remains hidden.

"What a white python! It lured away my three companions, only to ambush me. But you've probably miscalculated!"

The blue-eyed golden toad at the ninth level of Qi Refining roared, "The Blue-Eyed Golden Toad clan has no fear of a mere ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator like you! After today, you will surely die!"

Before the words were finished, a dark shadow shot out from the mist, spinning, heading straight towards another blue-eyed golden toad at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

It reacted with lightning speed, spitting out a pale golden poison bullet from its mouth, which collided with the object and then exploded in mid-air.

boom!

Pale gold and black poison intertwined, devoured, and exploded, hissing incessantly, as a violent rain of poison burst forth all around.

Some black venom landed on the pale golden, highly poisonous skin of the two blue-eyed toads, causing them to feel a gradually increasing pain.

"What a potent poison! It rivals the venom of my own kind!"

It muttered to itself, clearly realizing the trouble the situation was in.

The next moment, two or three more poison darts shot out from different directions, just as silently.

This time, the two blue-eyed toads stood back to back, puffed out their mouths at the same time, and then made a call at the same frequency.

"Croak!!!"

The faint sound waves distorted the surroundings, combining with the surge of pale golden spiritual energy to form a circular protective shield that blocked the incoming poison bullets.

Then several more poison bombs exploded, and the situation remained deadlocked.

The spikes on the heads of the two blue-eyed toads continued to hover, without launching an attack.

A brief silence enveloped the area, the heavy, flowing poisonous mist swirling and seemingly receding.

"Heh heh, just wait until my comrades return, then you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

The blue-eyed toad, believing it had seen everything, let out a cold laugh that echoed from the thick yellow fog.

The white python in the mist was wary of the sharp cone-shaped magical artifact on its head, fearing that it would make a mutually destructive attack. It tried several times to trick the python into firing the artifact, and then launched a surprise attack when the opportunity arose!

It deliberately did not do that, but waited for its companions to return. In this way, the enemy's conspiracy was exposed, and under the attack from both inside and outside, the white python was bound to be defeated.

Before he could finish speaking, another unexpected event occurred.

In one direction, the thick yellow fog suddenly split open, and the swallowed senses returned abruptly, gradually strengthening, like a gateway.

"Um?"

The blue-eyed golden toad at the ninth level of Qi Refining suddenly became alert and looked in that direction, only to see a hazy white light flash by and rapidly approach.

Perception penetrated the thin yellow mist, revealing only a chilling scene.

"They're here!"

The blue-eyed toad widened its eyes and, together with its companions, let out a deep cry. The protective shield transformed into a shield that floated in mid-air.

laugh!

The yellow mist finally cracked open, and a clear, moonlit water blade burst forth, its wake creating shimmering waves and chilling the air. The two blue-eyed golden toads tensed up instantly.

Swamp creatures fear extreme cold the most.

The next moment, the water blade and the shield collided with a loud bang. Clear water splashed everywhere like blades, and the shield turned into pale golden light and exploded. The attack was evenly matched!

The two blue-eyed toads had already spotted the white python's silhouette behind the crack in the thick fog, coiled up under the big willow tree.
