Chapter 4 Toad Essence

After that mysterious ritual, my mind went blank. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info However, I still feel a smell of conspiracy, maybe it was all for me.

But there was a faint excitement and anticipation in my heart, because I desperately wanted to change the failures that real life had brought me.

On top of the altar I found a pendant that looked like bone, and I couldn't see the material clearly. Just as I was about to take it in my hand and take a closer look, I heard a loud bang from the waterfall behind me.

Originally, the cave was dark, but it had become dim after the lights had disappeared because of the ritual, except for the faint glow of the oil lamps on the walls.

So when that "flutter" sounded, I was really taken aback.

I looked back, but I didn't see anything. Only the waterfall was still flowing, but there was no sound. The sound just now was absolutely weird.

I didn't take out the bone pendant, I just put the little box in the inner pocket of my clothes. Then walk down the altar and walk in the direction of the waterfall.

At first, I only focused on the ceremony, so I was attracted by the sound of the waterfall at first, but I didn't come here for the first time.

This waterfall is actually the water flowing from a cave on the mountainside, but the cave is large and looks like a waterfall.

After the waterfall falls, it may be due to the long-term impact that forms a deep pool, which looks like it is 200 square meters. I don't know where the water is going, but the waterfall just goes straight down.

When I arrived, I saw a large whirlpool flowing on the surface of the water, and it seemed as if something had fallen into the water from above, but because of the light, I could not see how deep the pool was.

After walking around this deep pool, I found nothing, and I was ready to leave.

However, at this time, there was a "bang", and a column of water rushed out of the pool of water and hit me directly in the chest.

I didn't even have time to react, so I rolled out more than ten meters away. It was difficult to breathe for a moment, the pain in the eyes and head was swollen and unbearable, and the inside of the throat was hot and salty.

I struggled to my knees, my head staring at the ground, one hand on my chest and the other on the ground. I didn't have time to pay attention to how the water column could have such a big impact, and my mind went blank for a moment.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that I was able to breathe and felt a trace of air flow down my airways into my lungs, my head slowly cleared, and my eyes gradually became clearer and less blurry, but the pain was much more doubled.

Slowly looking up at the pool, I wondered what had happened.

But the scene I saw shook me again. Today is a day of shock to me, one shock after another.

What do I see? What's that thing the size of the head of a truck?

Why are those two lanterns glowing so much like eyes? How about these limbs, this shape, this bulge of the whole body......

"Quack" .....

Damn, is this really a toad?

I fell to the ground. That behemoth turned out to be a toad. It lay quietly on the edge of the deep pool, where I had just stood.

The glowing eyes were staring straight at me, and I could hear the whirring sound and the occasional tongue sticking out.

It was then that I realized that the sound must have come from it, and that the column of water that attacked me was the tongue of the toad.

I instinctively sat on the ground, moving backwards, and at this moment I couldn't help but swallow and forget the pain just now.

I didn't know where I was going to run, but I knew I had to run. There is only hope of being alive if I run, and I have no doubt that it will eat me.

I took a few steps back and got up and ran, running in the direction of the altar, because it was the highest place in the cave, and I guess it was the safest.

"Quack"

I ran away as fast as I could, but when I heard the scream of the goods, I couldn't help but glance back, and this glance almost scared me.

It jumped more than ten meters away, and then after it landed, the tongue that was four or five meters long came behind me, and I felt a gust of fishy wind coming.

I kept changing directions, and then ran to the altar, and when I was more than twenty meters away from the altar, I thought I would be safe immediately. But this time the toad seemed to know the direction I was going to change, and its tongue went there first.

"Bang"

I was knocked out more than ten meters away, and this time I was ten meters away from the altar. I endured the pain and crawled towards the altar little by little.

I don't know if it's going to be safe, but I have an instinct to think that it's safe and that I'm going to be sheltered.

There was already blood coming out of his mouth, and his back felt like he had been hit by a sledgehammer, and there was no way to describe the pain at this time. At that moment, I didn't even want to move, just lay there and die.

It's really weird today, I didn't have time to wonder how there could be such a big toad in this world, when I was a child, I didn't catch this thing less, and then play with them to death.

Could it be that I played too much when I was a child, and now I am being punished? My heart is smiling bitterly, and at this moment I am still wondering if it is retribution.

Otherwise, how can I explain why it came out and attacked me?

I slowly climbed a few meters, and the toad crouched a few meters behind me, looking at me.

However, I didn't stop and kept climbing again, and I remember that my woodcutter was near here. I came in with a chopping knife all the time, in fact, to embolden myself, until the people were gone, and I threw it here when I came to the altar.

"Quack"

I knew the toad was going to attack me again, because it had to scream a few times before it did anything every time.

"Poof"

My legs were entangled in its tongue, pulling me in its direction little by little, pitying my small weight of more than 100 pounds, which was not the match of this toad spirit at all.

Just as I was about a meter away from it, I suddenly rolled over and swung my right hand down with a forceful blow.

"Poof"

I cut off a large part of the toad's tongue, and I stood up and stabbed it in the abdomen and managed to get in.

Its blood shot out, it was pale blue, and it covered my whole body, but I didn't bother to turn around and run towards the altar again.

It all happened in just three to five seconds, and when I ran a few meters out there I heard a deafening croaking and thudging sound.

This time I finally ran up to the altar without any problems, and I came to the table, holding on to my breath. The aches and pains in my body were no longer felt, and now fear seemed to have overcome the pain.

I looked down to see if the toad was chasing me. I found that the toad was constantly rolling there, and the thud was made by the impact of its huge body against the ground. It shows the huge size of this toad.

But after five or six minutes of this, it didn't move anymore, just squatting there, staring at me.

The eyes were full of hatred and unwillingness, and they kept croaking. It was like a summoning of some kind, but I seemed to feel a curse in its eyes and in its screams.

"You will die soon, I will make your death miserable, poor human, you dare to hurt me." An old voice rang out.

Well? I suddenly heard someone talking to me. I looked around, and there was no one here to breathe except for the toad. Could it be it?

"Were you talking to me just now? How can you speak? Depend on! ”

Although my worldview and outlook on life today are constantly impacted and challenged, and my little heart is also frightened and shocked, nothing can shock me more than the toad that can always speak.

If I catch this talking toad and take it out, will I be able to sell it for a lot of money, and my life will be nourished in the future, and I won't have to worry about finding a job anymore, right?

So what I'm thinking at the moment, if I let that toad know, I guess I'll be able to die of anger.

"Poor human, you are the first person to come here in thousands of years. Didn't you expect to be so stupid, no mana at all? I don't care who you are, you're going to die here today. ”

This time I heard it right, it was indeed the voice of the toad, a little painful but more of an angry old voice.

"Come here if you want to kill me. But I want to ask you, how long have you lived? How do you speak human language? Where the hell is this? What was the ritual I just saw? Why did those people disappear all at once? ”

I couldn't wait to ask, because I felt like it didn't dare to approach this altar, as if some forbidden force was stopping it. So I don't have that much fear anymore, I'm more curious about what is happening today.

"You'll never know the answer, you're going to die soon, because you've stained my blood and fallen under my curse. There will be no more than three days to live. ”

I looked at the pale blue blood all over my body, and I didn't seem to feel uncomfortable except that I was disgusted.

However, I became more curious about this toad, how could it speak? And I feel that my thinking is very unusual, and I have brains. I thought to myself.

"Of course, you don't have nothing to save, if you give me the box you got, I can consider letting you go, help you lift the curse, and get you out of here." The toad said.

"Haha, you really have a request for me, I won't give it to you, you let your curse explode quickly!"

I took the box out of my pocket and opened it, and this time I'm going to take it out to see what it is.

Just as I took the bone pendant out of the box and held it in my hand, the toad shouted at me, "Put it down, don't touch it, it's a holy thing, you can't touch it." ”

However, I had already held it firmly in the palm of my hand, and after a few moments, a faint smile appeared on my lips.

"Blue Devil Toad Clan, aren't you actually dead yet?"
