Chapter 170: The Shadow of the Ancient Village
The stove was about waist-high height, and after the spotted toad landed on the stove, it borrowed its four feet on it and slammed towards Wu Zhiyuan's face. It was only at this time that Wu Zhiyuan understood that the toad was so large that he couldn't jump to the height of his face, so he used the stove to make himself jump higher.
It was too late, it was fast, Wu Zhiyuan instantly saw through the attempt of the spotted toad, and before the toad approached him, he was on one side, and at the same time his head and neck were crooked, these two actions had completely avoided the direction of the spotted toad's attack. At the same time, he swung his sword and slashed at the toad.
The situation changed shockingly at this moment, the spotted toad was in mid-air, seeing that Wu Zhiyuan's wooden sword was about to slash at its body, but seeing that its body suddenly shook violently, it actually turned around in the air, not only dodged the blow of the wooden sword, but also turned and pounced straight at Wu Zhiyuan's face!
It is really surprising that this monster can turn around at will when there is nowhere to borrow strength in the air, but at this time, Wu Zhiyuan didn't have time to think about it, so he had to pounce forward, rolled on the spot, and rolled to the coffin, which was able to avoid the toad's attack.
Wu Zhiyuan's body hit the coffin, turned around suddenly, and couldn't help but be taken aback again, the toad pounced in the air, jumped onto the wall, made a few muffled "coo" sounds, turned his head and pounced on Wu Zhiyuan next to the coffin.
The spotted toad can turn in the air, so it is useless to dodge in any direction, Wu Zhiyuan immediately made a decision, and when he saw the toad jumping over again, he didn't dodge, but just leaned on the coffin steadily, watching the toad get closer and closer, and when it was only a foot away from himself, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly took out his sword and stabbed at the oncoming toad.
The spotted toad is by no means an ordinary monster, when it saw the oncoming wooden sword, it had already begun to shake its body and intended to turn the direction, but because the distance was too close, it was too late, only to hear the sound of "poof", the wooden sword stabbed into the toad's mouth and penetrated out from the back!
The spotted toad did not immediately lose its breath, and its body was strung on the wooden sword and kept "cooing", but the voice had gradually become subtle, the body gradually weakened, the blood-red eyes began to fade, and soon turned into dead fish white, and the cooing sound also stopped abruptly.
Wu Zhiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he shook the wooden sword hard, and threw the body of the toad strung on the sword to the ground, and before he could come back to his senses, he suddenly heard the sound of "cooing" again, the sound was subtle and dull, but it was really real.
The voice sounded a few times and then there was no movement, but Wu Zhiyuan was taken aback, so frightened that a cold sweat almost broke out, he poked the dead toad on the ground with his sword, and didn't find anything unusual, but where did the "cooing" sound come from?
At this moment, the cry of "coo" sounded again, the sound was a little louder than before, Wu Zhiyuan turned his head and looked at the coffin, and the "cooing" toad cry came from that coffin!
"Looks like I stabbed a toad's nest this time!" Wu Zhiyuan cursed secretly in his heart, and in this moment, the "cooing" in the coffin became louder and more frequent, and in the blink of an eye, another huge spotted toad jumped out of the coffin!
Although he had expected this situation, when he saw another toad jumping out of the coffin, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but scream, and his body retreated three feet sharply.
The toad in front of him was the same as the previous one, no matter how big or small and the color was, if it weren't for the corpse of a toad on the ground, Wu Zhiyuan would really think that this was the previous toad coming back from the dead.
The shape is not optimistic, in the face of this other spotted toad, Wu Zhiyuan has little chance of winning, and the only way to do this is to go, thinking, Wu Zhiyuan is staring at the movement of the toad, and he moved towards the door.
The spotted toad squatted on the ground and opened its mouth to make a few "cooing" sounds, and its bulging eyes were also staring at Wu Zhiyuan tightly, suddenly, its big mouth opened suddenly, and it made a few crisp "cooing" sounds, and then suddenly its tongue rolled and stretched, and a cloud of yellow mucus squirted out from the tip of its tongue straight to Wu Zhiyuan!
This move was extremely novel and strange, which surprised Wu Zhiyuan, and he couldn't take much of it, so he turned around and ran towards the door, only to hear a "pop" sound behind him, and he didn't want to know that it was the yellow slime that fell to the ground.
Running to the gate of the courtyard in one breath, Wu Zhiyuan stopped, turned around and looked back, according to past experience, the Gu insect poison in this coffin will not chase after it, and this spotted toad is indeed the same.
At the gate of the courtyard, he couldn't see the situation in the house clearly, so Wu Zhiyuan didn't know how the spotted toad reacted. He lingered at the gate of the courtyard for a while, thinking about whether to continue to the next house to investigate, and basically concluded that each house had a pair of black lacquer coffins, and each coffin was pregnant with poisonous Gu worms. Before there was no feasible way to crack the poison in these coffins, Wu Zhiyuan planned not to clash with these poisons head-on, and he thought of another way.
Wu Zhiyuan came to the door of a house at random and chose this house because he saw that the courtyard wall of this house was relatively strong. After looking around, he climbed up the wall, and then climbed up the courtyard wall to the roof.
Standing on the roof, he had an unobstructed view of the layout of the entire village, and when he looked at it, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be secretly frightened, this village was really an empty city, only to see dozens of houses in the entire village, and the roofs were all overgrown with weeds, and the whole village was desolate.
After a short lament, Wu Zhiyuan climbed along the roof to the top of the main room, estimated the general position of the coffin, and began to lift the roof. These houses are all mud houses, and the roofs are also built with a mixture of grass and clay on wooden beams, and they are very old, so it is relatively easy to lift them, Wu Zhiyuan opened a hole in a few clicks, and the light shines directly into the house along the hole in the roof.
Wu Zhiyuan looked down, and saw that there was indeed a pair of black lacquer coffins in the east and west directions in the house, and the coffin lid was tightly closed, and he couldn't determine what kind of Gu worms were raised in the coffin.
With the previous three lessons, without knowing the situation below, Wu Zhiyuan would not venture into it again, he stood up, planning to observe around the village first, at this moment, a black figure faintly flashed in the southeast corner of the village, and the figure flashed by a courtyard wall, which happened to be blocked by the courtyard wall.
"Is there anyone else here?" Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled, but at the same time, he was very happy, as long as someone could find out about this village.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly jumped off the courtyard wall and chased in the direction where the figure flashed.
