Chapter 9: Strong Perseverance

After staring at the jade toad for a while, Ah Niu, who really couldn't think of a way, suddenly knelt on the ground, tilted his head, stared at the jade toad's eyes and said softly: "Whether you can understand my words or not, but please let me tell you a story." ”

In this regard, the jade toad did not respond, but only listened to Ah Niu continue: "Boy Liu Ding, a villager of Lianghe Village not far from this forest, three days ago, my family of four lived as usual...... In the early morning, in order to fill our stomachs, my father would always carry a hoe to the fields at dawn. Mother, in addition to taking care of us, also raised some silkworms to subsidize the family. Such a life may be insignificant, but it is already good for our family. ”

Speaking of this, Ah Niu suddenly stopped, thinking about the bits and pieces of his previous life and his father who was now lying half-dead on the bed, his eyes gradually mixed with tears, and then slipped down the corners of his eyes.

After sobbing for a while, Ah Niu took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "I thought that our family would always live like this, but just two days ago, everything changed, because my father, who went out to farm, was injured by some kind of poison and is still unconscious. ”

"Fortunately, there is a doctor in the village who is highly skilled, under his treatment, my father survived temporarily, but only two more days to live, if you want to fully recover, you must find an antidote, and the antidote is a backstab on your body, so I want to beg you to give me one, so that my family can live as before, please. After speaking, Ah Niu kowtowed to the jade toad a few times very sincerely.

After doing all this, he looked up at the jade toad nervously, and hoped that the other party could fulfill his wish.

However, the jade toad still looked at him as indifferently as before, and did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation because of his story, let alone show a trace of pity.

Seeing such a situation, Ah Niu's mood can be said to have fallen to a low point in an instant, but in order to save his father, he is willing to give everything, even his life......

Standing up, Ah Niu's voice was a little low: "I think you shouldn't understand what I said! ”

With that, Ah Niu quickly ran towards the back of the jade toad, but unfortunately, as soon as he was halfway through the run, a huge palm swept over his body.

"Bang. The huge palm just touched Ah Niu "gently", and his whole body flew out and fell on the grass two feet away. And this fall was not light, he tried three times and couldn't get up again, and his little head was even more confused.

And it was none other than the jade toad who slapped him away. It really didn't use any force just now, judging from the fact that it could easily swing the long snake's body of more than ten zhang before, if it was really strong, it was estimated that Ah Niu would definitely not survive under this palm.

Finally standing up, Ah Niu staggered towards the jade toad again, but unfortunately he was slapped away again as soon as he walked in front of the jade toad. After gritting his teeth and struggling to stand up, he still didn't want to die and walked towards the jade toad.

"Bang, bang, bang....... ”

Every time he stood up, it was only the beginning of Ah Niu's fall, and after a while, he repeated it no less than five times. During this period, the jade toad seems to have become somewhat interested in this stubborn outlier, of course, not appreciation, but playfulness, every time it shoots the other party away, the next time it will attack the strength will increase.

Gradually, in addition to serious abrasions on Ah Niu's body surface, every time he fell, his whole body seemed to be scattered, and even breathing was extremely difficult. It stands to reason that his body has already reached the "degree" that he can bear, but every time he falls to the ground, he will get back up again after a short rest, and his strong perseverance is really amazing.

"Bang. After repeating this for the tenth time, Ah Niu, who was shot out, finally did not stand up again, fortunately, there was still a trace of life, but it was already very weak, so weak that it could disappear at any time.

"Quack. With a soft roar, the jade toad opened its mouth, revealing a sneer, which seemed to be laughing at Ah Niu's indiscretion.

However, the jade toad just laughed for a long time, and the next moment the expression on its face froze, and when it looked in the direction of its eyes, it saw Ah Niu, who was lying on the ground, slowly standing up with his hands on the ground.

"Whew. With a light breath of hot air, Ah Niu looked up at the jade toad, his eyes were not only full of firmness, but also mixed with a trace of stubbornness.

Raising his heavy steps, Ah Niu walked towards the jade toad step by step, and when he came closer, he opened his blood-covered lips and said in a low voice: "Please give me a backstab." ”

Looking down at Xiao Budian below, this time, the jade toad did not stretch out his palm to slap it away, but just looked at him quietly, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing the jade toad standing still, Ah Niu staggered to its back, stretched out his hands to hold a jade backspike as thick as his thumb, and then used all his strength to pull it off, but despite this, the backspur on the jade toad's back showed no signs of breaking at all.

"You cut it off for me. With a roar, the strength of Ah Niu's hand completely exploded, but unfortunately, the backstab was like a rock, no matter how hard he tried, the backstab still didn't move.

"Broken....... ”

"Woo....... Kneeling on the ground, Ah Niu put his hands on his head and let out a painful sound. At this moment, in his heart, he felt that he was very useless, and after many efforts, he finally found the antidote, which could even be held in his hand, but he could not take it. The thought of his father, who was about to die, made his feelings even stronger.

That's why he cried out loud in this situation, and there is a vulnerable side in a strong person, not to mention that he is still a twelve-year-old child.

Turning around, the jade toad looked at him crying sadly, and half-sounded, it stretched out its huge palm and grabbed Ah Niu, and took him to nowhere to go.

And Ah Niu, who was in grief and anger, did not resist, and was still taken away by the jade toad, but even if he resisted, it would be useless to think about it......

"Knock, knock, knock....... Then every time the jade toad jumped, the ground would tremble slightly, and every time it jumped, it would inevitably appear six zhang away in the next moment. So on this small island, which is not very vast, they quickly reached their destination......

Glancing at the foul-smelling pus under him, the jade toad hesitated for a moment and then rose into the air, seeing that it was about to fall into the pus, only to see its huge mouth slightly open and spit out a cloud of pale green mist that hit the water first.

When the mist met the water, it dispersed, and in an instant, a faint layer of green mist spread the pus area within five zhang around, and then, this water area automatically dispersed to the surroundings as the jade toad approached. It's like a part of a mountain suddenly collapses.

Seeing such a shocking scene, Ah Niu was stunned, and at the same time stupid, and the previous sadness was also thrown out of the clouds, not that he forgot the purpose of this trip, but the situation in front of him was too unbelievable for him as an ordinary man.

"Whoa....... The pus continued to spread around, and the jade toad and Ah Niu also fell quickly, and they fell a hundred meters away, and with a loud "bang", they fell into a piece of sludge. The sludge under the pus is even more stinky, and this smell is very similar to the smell of rotting corpses that Ah Niu smelled before, and due to the wide area, the concentration has increased by I don't know how many times.

For this smell, the jade toad behaved very indifferently, but Ah Niu was different, as soon as he took a sip, he immediately opened his mouth and spit out a stream of sour water, and the whole person looked very sickly.

Perhaps feeling Ah Niu's discomfort, the jade toad randomly controlled the pus around him to form a huge waterspout, quickly cleaning the surrounding sludge. Although the waterspouts flew around them, they did not get a trace of pus or sludge on them.

However, although the sludge has decreased, the smell still exists, but it has been reduced a lot, and Ah Niu can bear it, and after the smell just now, he feels that the air is very fresh now.

"Quack. Opening its mouth and screaming, the jade toad lowered Ah Niu from its back. and spat out a cloud of saliva liquid wrapped around his body.

Looking at these disgusting liquids on his body, Ah Niu was angry, and when he wanted to wipe them off with his hands, he found that his injuries had recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye after being contaminated with these liquids, and after a while, he was as good as ever, and even the whole person became refreshed, and there was no fatigue at all.

Seeing this, Ah Niu was stunned for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he nodded at the jade toad to express his gratitude, and then quickly glanced around.

In addition to them, there is a relatively smooth ordinary rock around. Although he was a little puzzled, he also seemed very surprised and familiar. It's strange why the pus doesn't press it over, and as for why it's a little familiar, it's because he had a dream more than a month ago, and the scene in the dream is exactly the same as now.

"Quack. A sudden croaking of a frog woke Ah Niu from his fantasy, and when he looked up, he saw the jade toad slowly walking to the relatively smooth ordinary rock and lying down, with a deep expression, much like his big yellow dog when he was waiting for him to go home, full of longing.

Seeing this, although Ah Niu didn't understand the reason, he also walked over and sat down next to it, and said, "You are very similar to my rhubarb, I think you should be waiting for your master to come back." ”

For his words, the jade toad did not admit it, and at the same time did not deny it, but after Ah Niu said this, its longing for him became even stronger.

"Huh. With a grin, Ah Niu stared at the water curtain in front of him for a while, and said, "Won't you bring me here just to let me see such a wonder?"

Perhaps it was Ah Niu's words that reminded the jade toad, but it immediately sat up, then stretched out a paw and poked Ah Niu to the ground, and then pointed to the smooth stone wall on the side.

was pushed down by a finger and fell to the ground, Ah Niu shook his head and smiled helplessly. Standing up, he carefully looked at the stone wall that the jade toad was pointing at.

After looking at it for a quarter of an hour, when he found that there was nothing strange about the stone wall, Ah Niu suddenly lost interest, but since the jade toad took such great trouble to bring him here, it would definitely not be so simple to come to the stone wall. Immediately afterwards, just as Ah Niu was thinking wildly, a sudden burst of force came from his back that pushed him towards the stone wall, and under this force, if he really collided, it was estimated that he would be seriously injured if he didn't die.

didn't have time to think about it, Ah Niu, who was screaming, instinctively blocked the front with his hand, but just when his small palm was just attached to the stone wall, an even more bizarre scene happened.

In just an instant, a dazzling white light burst out from the stone wall. This is still secondary, the important thing is that Ah Niu's young figure is gradually being swallowed by the white light.

Turning his head, Ah Niu looked at the jade toad in great puzzlement, as if to say, "Why do you want to do this...... ”

In the face of the incomprehension and resentment in Ah Niu's eyes, although the jade toad looked a little weak, it quickly regained that indifferent expression, and with cold eyes, it watched Ah Niu slowly be completely swallowed by the white light. At the same time, the blinding white light disappeared along with it, replaced by the smooth, ordinary rock wall from before......
