I don't know how long it took, Yuan Ming gradually regained consciousness and slowly sat up from the ground.

The fog was swirling around him, and he couldn't see the sun when he looked up, and he couldn't tell how long he had been unconscious.

His mind was still a little foggy, and after shaking his head, he remembered what happened before he fell unconscious, and hurriedly looked around.

Although the will of the purple and black demon vine was crushed by him with the beast control technique, with the tenacity of this thing, it may not be dead.

The surroundings were quiet, not to mention the demon vines, and there was not a single insect.

The herring sword was slanted into the ground next to it, and the blade of the sword was slightly bright.

"I didn't see the corpse of the demon vine, which means that this thing is indeed not dead, could it have escaped?" Yuan Ming muttered to himself.

He fell into a coma just now, if the demon vine was still alive, why didn't he take the opportunity to kill himself, could it be that he was scared by the beast control technique?

He patted his cheek vigorously and stood up.

"Huh!" Yuan Ming suddenly noticed another abnormality, he didn't know when he lifted the draping technique, and the black toad skin was gone.

"It's okay if the purple black demon vine is gone, it may escape on its own, why does the black toad hide disappear too? Could it be that someone has just been here? Yuan Ming thought of a possibility and hurriedly checked the things on his body.

The contents of the storage bag are still there, nothing is missing, and the mysterious incense burner has also turned into a mark, quietly lodged in his arm, there is nothing abnormal, not even the conspicuous herring sword has been lost, it doesn't look like someone has been here.

Yuan Ming silently picked up the herring sword, and was about to look for it nearby, when his expression suddenly moved, and he looked in one direction.

There seemed to be something there that was connected to his mind, but the connection was very weak, and he couldn't sense it clearly.

"What's that?" Yuan Ming was quite surprised.

To be able to produce a heart-to-heart connection, it must be a profound secret method, similar to the beast control technique, or a magic weapon treasure that drips blood to recognize the master.

His beast control technique has not yet tamed the spirit beast, and the only thing on his body that has dripping blood to recognize the master is the mysterious incense burner, which is now in the incense burner mark on his right arm, what else will have a mental connection with him?

Yuan Ming didn't know the essentials, and soon stopped thinking about it, and searched for the skin of the black toad nearby, but found nothing.

"Forget it, the skin of the black toad is just an auxiliary thing, and if you lose it, you will lose it." He sighed, sat down cross-legged, and used the Nine Yuan Jue to restore his mana.

A moment later, Yuan Ming's mana was fully restored, and his power returned to him.

It's just that he was sucked away by the purple black demon vine, and his muscles and bones were a little weak, but fortunately, he was okay with his actions.

Yuan Ming took out the skin of the white ape, but did not use the draping technique, but wrapped it around his waist and ran towards the distance.

The abnormalities there have always affected his mind, so it is better to find out.

A quarter of an hour later, Yuan Ming came to a swamp puddle several acres in size, and the thing that connected with his heart was in the water.

As the distance got closer, he and the mental sense in the puddle strengthened a lot, and he had already sensed what it was.

"No, it won't!" Yuan Ming was a little incredulous, this matter was too unbelievable.

At this moment, the puddle suddenly exploded, a large wave of water rolled violently, and a gray fierce creature emerged from the bottom of the water, but it was a gray fierce crocodile several feet long.

This crocodile's head turned out to be dark red, especially a pair of eyes that were red like blood, and it looked extremely fierce.

"It's not good, it's an adult blood-headed crocodile!" Yuan Ming recognized this beast.

The strength of the adult blood-headed crocodile is at least a mid-level peak, the scale armor of the whole body is extremely tough, the strength is endless, and it is better at water fighting, and it is one of the most powerful middle-level fierce beasts.

However, this blood-headed crocodile looked panicked at the moment, quickly twisted its body, and fled in a hurry towards the distance.

Before it could escape far, a slender purple-black thing broke through the water, wrapped around the body of the blood-headed crocodile, and circled around a few times quickly, but it was a purple and black rattan.

The rattan is bare, there is not a single leaf, the whole body of the vine is crystal clear, and you can faintly see the slightest blood line inside, which is weird and abnormal.

Yuan Ming's pupils shrank suddenly.

Although the shape of this purple and black rattan has changed greatly, he can see that this thing is the purple and black demon vine that almost killed him before!

The blood-headed crocodile struggled, but the purple and black demon vine was extremely tenacious, and no matter how the blood-headed crocodile struggled, it couldn't break free.

One end of the demon vine "snorted", became sharp, and then suddenly shot out, hitting the back of the blood-headed crocodile.

With a soft "poof", the demon vine easily pierced its tough skin and pierced its body.

The blood-headed crocodile let out a terrible scream, and its thick body trembled violently, and the amplitude became smaller and smaller.

After a few breaths, the crocodile was completely out of breath, and its swollen body floated on the surface of the water.

There was a "bang" in the water, and a black shadow slowly emerged, but it was a black toad the size of a fist, with a round purple-black bulge growing behind it, which looked like several leaves of a certain plant were gathered together, and there were more than a dozen poison sacs around it, and the cold eyes looked at the blood-headed crocodile.

Yuan Ming's face barely remained calm, but the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

This black toad, both in terms of skin color and form, is exactly the same as his toad skin, but it is much smaller.

A beast skin was resurrected out of thin air, and there are such miracles in the world!

The purple-black demon vine suddenly shot out from the bulge behind the toad, and a blood-red light quickly flowed back to the toad's back along the vine body, and the surface of the toad's body was glowing with a trace of blood, and soon dissipated again, but the body was faintly enlarged.

The purple-black demon vine flew back, disappeared into the bulge behind the toad, and disappeared.

The toad seemed to sense something, turned his head to look at Yuan Ming nearby, a look of surprise in his eyes, and turned around to escape.

"Come here!" Yuan Ming's face was slightly gloomy, and he snorted coldly, pinching a magic trick in his right hand, and the black light flashed on his fingertips.

The black toad's body trembled, but he didn't move.

Yuan Ming's face showed a look of surprise, and he urged the beast control technique to the maximum, and the black toad reluctantly turned around and swam over, jumping in front of Yuan Ming.

He raised his hand and pressed it on the black toad's head, and a layer of rich black qi gushed out from his palm, billowing into its body.

After a moment, he withdrew his palm, and there was a complicated look on his face, with surprise and joy, but more of puzzlement.

Yuan Ming had just used the beast control technique to check it with the power of the divine soul, and the original black toad beast skin did grow internal organs for some reason, and there were also divine soul fluctuations in the body, turning into a living thing.

The purple black demon vine grows together with its internal organs through the bulging back of the black toad, and becomes an organ-like existence in its body, every time the heart is agitated, the toad's blood can not only pass through the blood vessels in the body, but also through the purple black demon vine to all parts of the body.

The black toad in front of him looked like a black-streaked poisonous toad, but in fact, it was a freak formed by the fusion of two completely different creatures.

And the purple black demon vine has a rune mark in its body, which is the beast control rune, which contains the power of Yuan Ming's divine soul, and it seems that his divine soul is condensed.

Yuan Ming sensed a trace of connection between himself and this beast control rune just now, but he felt unbelievable, but the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't question it.

In any case, he could be regarded as subduing a spirit beast by mistake.

With his current cultivation in the Qi refining period, he could no longer subdue the second spirit beast, unless he killed the demon vine and destroyed the beast control rune in his body.

"Forget it, the demon vine is the demon vine, the ability of this vine is not bad, and now it is fused with this black toad, maybe it will derive special magical powers?" He weighed it again and again, and chose to keep this vine.

Yuan Ming sat down cross-legged in front of the black toad, and continued to communicate with it with beast control techniques to probe the situation in its body.

More importantly, you need to understand the black toad's current supernatural abilities.

After half a day, he stopped casting the spell, and there was a gleam of joy in his eyes.

As he guessed before, after the black toad and the demon vine fused together, the supernatural powers of the two have undergone great changes, the most significant of which is that the supernatural powers of the two have begun to merge, and now the demon vine also contains the venom of the black toad, which greatly increases the attack power of the rattan when facing the enemy.

Before, the purple black demon vine could easily penetrate the skin of the blood-headed crocodile, and it was precisely because of this.

What's more, the black toad also has the same powerful self-healing ability as the demon vine, combined with the blood-eating characteristics of the demon vine, its self-healing ability has actually reached the level of metamorphosis, as long as it does not suffer fatal damage, it can heal quickly.

"Follow me in the future!" Yuan Ming exhaled lightly, this black toad has become a monster-like existence, and it may not be a bad thing to accept this thing as a spirit beast by himself.

The black toad glanced at Yuan Ming and did not move.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming slightly increased his mana to urge the beast control technique, and the black toad reluctantly screamed, jumped on his shoulder, and crouched there.

"This black toad was born of mutation, and the beast control rune I applied was engraved in the body of the demon vine, and I don't know how strong the beast's imprisonment is...... However, this little thing is not dark and not easy to be found when it hides. He said to himself.

Yuan Ming quickly continued to move forward, and now that the matter of subduing the spirit beast has come to an end, with this black toad by his side, his strength has improved a lot, and he plans to continue to explore this island.

Most importantly, he wanted to find the four-eyed golden ape.

The effect of those red-core spirit peaches, Yuan Ming could not forget, if he could find it, with the miraculous effect of the Nine Yuan Jue, it was very possible for him to improve his cultivation to the eighth layer of qi refining in a short period of time, or even the ninth layer of qi refining.

……

Two days later.

Yuan Ming came to a low mountain area on the island, where the low mountains are gray-black, the mountain rocks reveal a rich yin qi, and the air is also filled with a sense of coldness, which makes people feel quite uncomfortable.

The vegetation in the low mountain is also very scarce, and it is obvious that it cannot withstand the oppressive yin atmosphere here.

Yuan Ming took the black toad into it and began to look around.

In the past two days, he searched all over the island, although he couldn't find the area where the four-eyed golden ape was located, the harvest was not small, and he found seven or eight precious spiritual materials, which could be exchanged for a lot of contribution points if they were exchanged for the sect.

It's just that this island is amazingly big, and he searched for three days, but still hasn't found the place where he landed on the island last time.

This made him a little secretly anxious, the time for this application to leave the sect was only five days, and now there is not much left, and if he can't find it, he can only wait for the next time.
