"It's that guy!"

"He doesn't want to die, he dares to rush up alone!"

"I really think it's amazing to think that I'm a genius! It's beyond my power to deal with a first-order desolate beast alone!"

"You know what a fart! People call it brave, you can do it!"

"Hmph! I ...... I'm not that stupid. ”

......

The friends around gathered together, exchanged heads, and no one dared to act rashly.

Zhongli and Miao Xiaorui hesitated, their expressions quite complicated. It's not that they're afraid, but they think the mud frog is disgusting and don't want to touch each other. Especially Miao Xiaorui, although she is a child who grew up outside the gate and has a relatively big temperament, seeing an ugly beast like the mud frog and not vomiting on the spot is already the biggest limit, let alone confronting such an ugly guy.

"Little Brother Ling Xiu, you are not the opponent of this stinky toad, come back quickly!"

"Yes, yes, little brother, come back, we won't fight it, this stinky toad is too disgusting!"

Zhong Li and Miao Xiaorui persuaded one after another, wanting to let Ling Xiu evacuate, but unfortunately the latter was indifferent.

Be brave, be strong, fight!

At this moment, Ling Xiu's heart was empty with the short blade in his hand, and he couldn't hear Zhongli and Miao Xiaorui's words at all, and he only had the idea of fighting in his mind. This was his first real battle, and he would never back down, let alone disappoint Yun Mu.

"Quack!!"

Although the mud frog is large, ugly and smelly, it is not flexible.

Under Yun Mu's teaching, Ling Xiu had practiced physical arts, his body was very flexible, and his movements were even more flexible, towards a little monkey jumping around. Although his strength is inferior, he dodges left and right under the attack of the mud frog, and he is entangled.

"Bell-"

With a metallic thud, the blade fell down and stabbed into the mud frog's forelegs...... It's a pity that the short blade didn't fall the slightest trace, and Ling Xiu was shocked by the force instead!

"Quack!!"

Seeing the opportunity, the mud frog opened its mouth wide and stretched out its long tongue towards Ling Xiu.

Ling Xiu used the power of the rebound to keep retreating, trying to avoid the sudden attack of the mud frog.

It's a pity that in a panic, Ling Xiu's left foot was caught by the tongue of the mud frog, and he instantly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Quack!"

The mud frog screamed excitedly, taking the opportunity to swing left and right, throwing Ling Xiu everywhere.

Seeing such a scene, everyone was stunned, and sure enough, as they expected, Ling Xiu was not an opponent of a first-order desolate beast at all. They wanted to come forward to save people, but they didn't dare to approach, and they were very conflicted.

"No, you can't let this little guy have an accident, I'm fucking annoyed!"

Zhongli was depressed now, not to mention that he had promised Yun Mu to take care of these little guys before, even without Yun Mu's entrustment, he couldn't watch Ling Xiu, a genius, lose here, otherwise with so many pairs of eyes watching, how should he explain to Shanwaishan after he went out.

After thinking about it, Zhong Li resisted the nauseous urge, flew up and grabbed the monster that stopped you, rescued Ling Xiu, and then ran back without saying a word.

Disgusting!

The strong stench rushed straight to his head, and Zhongli held his breath and still felt a stench engulf him.

"Quack!"

Seeing that the prey in his hand was snatched away, how could the mud frog be willing, and with a roar, he rushed towards Zhongli and the others.

In fact, having lived in this harsh environment for hundreds of years, today it is difficult to encounter a group of "delicacies" with fine skin and tender meat, and it will definitely not give up easily anyway.

"Oh no, the stinky toad is catching up!"

"Run, everyone, run separately!"

"Stinky toad, don't chase me!"

A group of young men and women are just ordinary people, how can they outrun the first-order desolate beasts.

Sure enough, before he had run far a few steps, several teenagers were caught up by the mud frog, and one of them fell to the ground in a panic, was easily swept away by the mud frog, and then swallowed it alone.

Seeing such a scene, everyone was even more shocked.

"Help!"

"No! Don't...... Ahh

Screaming in fear and weeping bitterly, the team of hundreds of people seemed to explode.

On the contrary, Ling Xiu, who was reckless at the beginning, was carried by Zhongli on his shoulders and ran to the front of the team without any danger.

"Let go of me!"

Ling Xiu struggled to break away from Zhongli and accidentally rolled to the ground. Then he got up and looked at the people who were being chased by the mud frogs, and he couldn't help but lose his mind. In a trance, he remembered the scene of the destruction of his family, which was also so sudden, and he fled in a panic......

Thinking about it, Ling Xiu's eyes gradually began to redden, and a touch of stubbornness and perseverance flashed in his eyes.

"Kill you!"

Ling Xiu's murderous intent erupted, and he once again clenched his short blade and rushed towards the mud frog.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Ling Xiu was slammed out by the mud frog.

Anger can bring a person's courage, but it can't directly improve a person's strength, so fighting alone, Ling Xiu is still not a bad opponent.

"This little ghost, what a trouble!"

Zhongli looked helpless, and this time he didn't hesitate at all, and shot directly.

"Boom!"

As soon as he flew in, the mud frog was blasted away, and even Zhongli didn't use his blade, he was really worried about whether his weapon would stink after cutting the mud frog with his weapon.

"Let's go too!"

"Come on, everybody's here to help!"

Everyone saw that the mud frog was repelled by Zhongli, and after a short period of panic and surprise, they gradually calmed down.

At the same time, there was a great terror between life and death, and the scene just now aroused their anger. After all, they are all young, and they who live outside the gate have a little bit of blood in their bones, and how can they be indifferent when they see their companions being eaten.

There was the first one, there was the second and the third, and all the boys and men who had fled stopped, and they all took the weapons they carried with them to kill the mud monster, whether he stinked or not.

Kill, kill, kill!

Ling Xiu's mind was full of killing intent, and he didn't notice that there were more people around him fighting side by side.

"Quack—"

The sludge monster is indeed thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and ordinary blades can't hurt him at all.

Just when Zhongli was considering whether to use a weapon, Ling Xiu saw the right time, and when the mud monster stuck out his tongue, he didn't dodge or dodge, and stabbed his tongue through the tongue fiercely, nailing it to the ground.

"Quack-"

The mud monster was in pain, and its body shook wildly, shaking everyone around it away.

"Die, brutes!"

Taking advantage of the distraction of the mud monster, Zhongli jumped high with a loud roar, and then descended from the sky, piercing the mud monster's body with a sword, from its back to its abdomen.

Gurgle!

Black blood flowed incessantly, with a thick stench.

After some struggle, the mud monster died aggrieved, and its huge body fell to the ground.

Knot...... It's over!?

Everyone reacted that the battle was over, but there was no joy in their hearts, only heaviness and sadness.

Thinking back to the battle just now, there wasn't much danger. Many people were secretly ashamed, if they had fought bravely and united as Ling Xiu from the beginning, the casualties would never have been so heavy.

On the first day, three teenagers had died among them, and more than a dozen were seriously injured.
