Chapter 6: The Miserable Toad
A fishy smell came to his face, making Lu Xiao frown.
He could see what was happening on the stone platform on the top floor of the fort.
Two figures, one big and one small, were fighting.
Xiao Hei is carrying a long sword and is fighting a monster.
The monster was a giant toad, its dark skin covered in pitted leprosy and dripping slime.
The toad squatted on the ground, its mouth wide open, and its huge tongue stained with slime kept sticking out and colliding with Xiao Hei's long sword, making a crisp sound.
The slippery and greasy huge tongue seemed to be very soft, but it was slashed by the long sword and did not show any wounds, but the long sword held in Xiao Hei's hand appeared some small chips.
Lu Xiao climbed up to the stone platform on the top floor, and he shouted below:
"Ziluo, come up and help him!"
Wei Qiu and Zhuang Yu hurriedly climbed up and gave up the position of the stairs to Zi Luo.
When the two students saw the disgusting giant toad in front of them, they couldn't help but retch.
Lu Xiao pulled the two people and hid in the corner of the stone platform.
Violet climbed up and frowned at the sight of the giant toad, pulling out a few different cards.
"Get out of the way!" Shiro shouted.
Xiao Hei took advantage of the shock force of the collision of the long sword and his tongue to retreat.
A huge ball of ice smashed into the toad, followed by a huge fireball, followed by three shining blades and a string of sparkling firecrackers.
The toad spread out its tongue, and its tongue changed from a thick stick to a flat cake.
The toad used its tongue to wrap first the puck in the hockey, then the fireball, and then the blade flew away.
And just as the firecracker flew in front of the toad, it didn't have time to react, and the firecracker burst open, producing a burst of fire.
The fireballs and ice balls that were caught by the toad's tongue also reacted violently, making a clattering sound, and a large amount of white steam came out of the toad's tongue.
The toad let go of its tongue, and the flames and frost flowers flew in all directions, blocked out of several people by the protective shield that Violet had already opened.
Lu Xiao looked at Ziluo's expression a little surprised, he didn't expect this soft and harmless looking girl with two ponytails to be so fierce.
The toad's tongue was attacked by Violet several card spells in a row, and a charred black mark appeared.
Lu Xiao looked at the huge tongue and was secretly speechless.
It is estimated that Xiao Hei was caught off guard and was blown out by that tongue just now.
The toad withdrew its huge tongue from its mouth and spit it out again.
Wang Gang also climbed up from below at this time, and frowned when he saw the disgusting and huge toad.
Six people stood opposite the toad, waiting for them.
"You guys be careful, this toad may be the boss of the main quest two, only by killing it can we complete the task." Violet reminded a few newcomers and put a few new cards in his hand.
Xiao Hei held the long sword, his fingers moved slightly, and all his attention was on the huge toad opposite.
Since it was the first time for Lu Xiao and the others to participate in the challenge, they did not have any actual combat effectiveness, so they could only hide behind the two guides.
Suddenly, the big toad opened its huge mouth, and a rich, fishy, disgusting smell came out of the big toad's mouth.
Xiao Hei clenched his long sword and kicked the stone platform behind him with his right foot, ready to rush out.
The two spell cards that Violet Luo was holding in his hand were also shining, and they were about to activate.
"Wait!" A loud sound resounded throughout the fortress.
Everyone looked at the big toad in amazement, and it actually spoke!
However, Ziluo and Xiao Hei did not relax in the slightest, and still maintained a state of being ready to attack at any time.
"I have no intention of making enemies of you." The toad's huge foul mouth opened and closed, emitting human language and a stench of the sky.
"Why should we trust you?" Zi Luo asked, staring into the eyes of the big toad.
The toad's cloudy eyes rolled slightly, and he said:
"What if you don't believe me? You are no match for me. ”
"Humph!" Violet snorted coldly, her purple twin ponytails swaying behind her.
"Actually, I'm a victim too." The big toad squatted on the stone platform, and the vocal sac behind the corner of its mouth bulged slightly as it spoke.
"Tell me about it." Zi Luo still stared at the big toad defensively.
"Quack~" The toad sighed and said:
"I was originally the son of a priest in Snow Village, and according to tradition, I should inherit the position of priest. But the rest of our village can challenge me and take my place if I win. “
A village in the snow? Lu Xiao was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there would be a village in the end of the White Frost.
"Two people challenged me, and I answered the challenge, but I didn't expect both of them to be assassinated on the eve of the challenge. The people in the village suspected me of being a murderer, and even my father didn't believe me! ”
"They kicked me out of the village, and I was cursed by a wizard and turned into a disgusting toad, imprisoned forever on the top floor of the Midsummer Fortress."
"Why did that wizard curse you?" Lu Xiao asked.
"Because he was the one who assassinated the other two challengers, he became the biggest winner! After I was kicked out, he became the priest of the Snow Village! The toad said loudly, its mouth trumbling, and its voice full of anger.
"I need your help to kill that damned priest and get me free."
"Even if you are an innocent victim, there is no reason for us to help you." Lu Xiao said calmly.
He didn't want to get too involved in anything that wasn't related to the task.
"I know where the relics are." Toad said.
"What holy relic?"
"Snow Fang! I know where Snow Fang is. ”
Snow Fang? Snow Fang!
Finding the Snow Fang is one of the two side quests of the White Frost Doom Challenge!
"How about we promise him?" Lu Xiao looked at the rest of the people.
Everyone knew that the Snow Fang was the secret treasure of the side quests, so there was no objection.
"Okay, we promise you. Let's go kill the priest, and then you tell us where the Snow Fang is, how? Lu Xiao took a step forward and looked at the toad's bulging eyes.
"Deal!" The voice of the toad echoed in the four fields.
"Finally...... It's finally time for revenge! The toad laughed with its mouth open, and a large amount of mucus flowed from the corners of its mouth.
"Wait a minute, we still have a few questions." Violet stepped forward and said to the toad.
"Just ask."
"First of all, the priest, since he can turn you into a toad, what level of his witchcraft is exactly, we need to know the information of the target."
"His witchcraft is very powerful, he is good at many kinds of witchcraft, especially transfiguration, he can turn people into animals forever."
Zi Luo nodded and continued to ask:
"What about his other witchcraft?"
"I don't know." The toad shook its two bulging eyes from side to side twice to indicate that it shook its head.
"The second question, where is the Snow Village? How do we get there? ”
"The Snow Village is in a hidden cave, and you can get through the teleportation array in this tower."
With that, the toad jumped out of the way, and there were three triangular mirrors behind him.
The toad blew a deep green breath into the mirror, and the mirror lit up with a white light, just like the white light that melted the yellow snow.
"Go, kill him, kill that evil wizard! It's better to kill all the foolish people who are aiding the abuse! The toad watched as several people walked to the mirror, their cloudy eyes full of pleasure.
The watch trembled slightly: Main quest 2 completed.
Main quest 3: Explore the Snow Village.
Then, the space began to distort, and the figures of the crowd disappeared from the Midsummer Fortress.
