Chapter 169: Spotted Toad
Wu Zhiyuan was taken aback when he saw this, and swung the wooden sword to slash left and right, slashing at the small snakes that catapulted from both sides, although the wooden sword was not sharp, but the snake body immediately broke into two as soon as it touched the blade, fell to the ground, rotted instantly, and then turned into a pool of white slime.
Wu Zhiyuan pulled the sword flower to protect himself, and retreated backwards again and again, the coffin in this room also had Gu worms, it seemed that they were all mysteries that had already been set up, and reckless hard work would only suffer.
Fortunately, the gap in the coffin lid was not large, so the number of cyan snakes that ejected out in a short period of time was limited, Wu Zhiyuan's wooden sword in his hand, he was still able to retreat with his whole body, and when he retreated to the door, he suddenly found that the coffin was already crawling with snakes, the snake body was twisted, and it crawled towards the door, and the number of the leaders was extremely fast, and it was at his feet.
Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly turned around and fled the house, and when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he found that the snake in the house had not been chased out.
There is a coffin in both rooms, the coffin is the same, both are fed with poison, and what is even more strange is that although the poison in the coffin is aggressive, it doesn't seem to leave that room, and they don't chase after the intruders, are they deliberately protecting something? Wu Zhiyuan wondered in his heart, he went east along the street, and came directly to the door of the third house, if nothing else, there must be a similar coffin in this room, and the coffin was also pregnant with some kind of powerful poison.
Stepping through the dilapidated courtyard gate, Wu Zhiyuan walked straight to the door of the main room, and as soon as he stood at the door, he saw a black lacquer coffin placed directly north of the house, the coffin was dark and swarthy, revealing a terrifying aura of death.
Without thinking too much, this coffin must be the same as the previous two, and there must be poisonous Gu worms in it. Determining this, Wu Zhiyuan did not rush into the house, but stood in the sunlight at the door, looking at the coffin, but thinking about how to deal with it in his heart.
Now it has been basically determined that all the poisons coming out of these coffins are Gu worms, otherwise they will never stay in the coffin safely, and they will never leave the house with the main door as the boundary, so these coffins should be set up by someone who is proficient in Gu arts, as for the purpose of this person setting up these coffins, it is still unknown. Gu art is a lineage of the Maoshan faction, so there are not many ways to restrain Gu art in Maoshan Taoism, if you still have vitality cultivation now, you can also use vitality to urge the samadhi true fire to burn this coffin, maybe restrain the poison in this coffin, but now Wu Zhiyuan has neither vitality cultivation nor rune paper, so this method can only be abandoned.
Standing at the door and thinking for a long time, Wu Zhiyuan never dared to step into the house for half a step, and the coffin never moved. After hesitating for a long time, Wu Zhiyuan decided to go into the house to try, and now he can only go in room to try, hoping to encounter which poison in the coffin can be restrained by the wooden sword in his hand.
Thinking like this, Wu Zhiyuan took a step into the room, and just when the soles of his feet were just implemented, there was a sudden "quacking" sound in the coffin, the sound was very dull, but the surroundings were silent, so it was heard very clearly, and then, there was a "bang" sound in the coffin, as if something hit the coffin lid inside.
Wu Zhiyuan's first thought was that there might be a dead body in this coffin, and at this time, the dead corpse wanted to sit up, and his forehead touched the coffin before making a "bang" sound. But the next scene negated his point of view, only to listen to the "cooing" sound in the coffin getting louder and more frequent, and listening carefully it was very similar to the cry of the toad in the ditch after the rain and the sunny day, and at this time it was more like the toad in the coffin had woken up from its deep sleep and was about to come out of the coffin!
Wu Zhiyuan stared at the coffin tightly, holding the wooden sword tightly with his right hand, and made all kinds of preparations in his heart. At this moment, I heard another "bang" sound in the coffin, which was thicker than the previous sound, and the coffin lid shook gently.
There was hardly any pause, the sound of "dong dong dong" was endless, and the coffin lid kept turning up with the sound, but it only opened a gap, and then closed it heavily, showing that the contents of the coffin did not have enough strength to open the coffin lid.
Realizing this, Wu Zhiyuan strengthened his courage, moved his steps and walked gently towards the coffin, before he took two steps, he only heard a loud sound of sudden "tom" in the coffin, and the coffin lid shook violently, and at the same time, a big hole was suddenly knocked out of the top of the coffin lid, and a round spherical thing with red and white spots all over the body broke through the coffin lid and rushed out!
Wu Zhiyuan had already taken precautions, and when the thing broke the coffin lid and volleyed into the air, he had already begun to retreat to the door, but the spherical thing seemed to have expected Wu Zhiyuan to do this, and after breaking the coffin, he jumped into the air and swept past Wu Zhiyuan, jumped behind Wu Zhiyuan, and blocked the door of the main door.
Wu Zhiyuan was caught off guard by this rabbit fall, he didn't expect that the things in the coffin would jump to the door to block his retreat, he panicked when he saw this scene, but then calmed down again, he looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be horrified.
Sure enough, it was a toad blocking the doorway! Generally speaking, the toad is an animal that is extremely ugly, but the appearance is very funny, which is completely different from the horror of snakes and other animals, and generally does not make people feel afraid, but the toad in front of Wu Zhiyuan can't help but make people feel cold in their hearts, and they see that it is full of red and white spots, and it looks very mad.
The spotted toad had a huge, stubble-like body, a round belly, and extremely short legs, which seemed to be very incompatible with its body. At this time, it landed on all fours, there were a few "cooing" sounds in its belly, and its two red eyes were round, looking directly at Wu Zhiyuan.
Wu Zhiyuan has seen toads and played with toads when he was a child, but this strange-looking toad has never been seen in his life, especially a toad whose eyes can roll, which is even more unheard of. He clenched his wooden sword tightly, feeling goosebumps all over his body, and the strange thing in front of him looked so uncomfortable.
The spotted toad and Wu Zhiyuan looked at each other for a moment, and their bodies remained motionless, and suddenly, it suddenly let out a muffled sound of "cooing", the sound was much louder than before, and the sound was not stopped, but the body had already jumped up, like a sharp sword, and pounced directly on Wu Zhiyuan with a "whoosh".
With the previous experience of cutting snakes with wooden swords, Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly used his sword as a knife, and slashed over from the right side when he saw the direction of the toad. Although the speed of the spotted toad is fast, Wu Zhiyuan's eyesight is also extremely accurate, only listening to the sound of "pop", this sword happened to hit the toad's bulging body, but coincidentally, it was the body of the wooden sword that hit the toad, not the blade.
Wu Zhiyuan's strength was extremely great, after the spotted toad was hit, his body suddenly fell to Wu Zhiyuan's left hand, and he fell to the ground with a "poof", the toad's belly deflated a little, and the strange toad spit out a puddle of yellow liquid in its mouth, and the room was suddenly filled with a fishy smell.
Wu Zhiyuan knew the truth of being angry, and he didn't hesitate when he saw this, picked up the wooden sword and stabbed at the spotted toad on the ground.
The spotted toad was abnormally unusual, and after landing, it rolled and stabilized its body, and with a kick on its hind legs, its body jumped up again, but this time it did not attack Wu Zhiyuan, but jumped in the direction of the stove opposite.
