Chapter 6: The Jasper Toad
Li Shuidao's eyes were dim, and he could only barely distinguish the outline inside the Five Poison Caves.
He stepped in slowly, handling it gently, and the sand couch sounded under his feet, as if something was crawling.
You can't just kick it down!
The insects in the Five Poison Caves are all first-order demon insects, which can poison the mortals of a village.
In the isolated system of the Five Poison Caves, the five poisons restrain each other, just like the five legions are afraid of each other, and no one can eat anyone, so a relative state of peace is maintained.
Mortals who are not a threat break into the Five Poison Caves, and this balance will not be broken.
But if the monks break in, the five legions will start fighting and immediately burst the cave.
Of course, it is not without danger for mortals to break in, in case they accidentally step on a bug and kill it.
The worm's scream before it died was the signal for a big scuffle.
Handle with care and with care.
At the right time.
A golden centipede crawled in.
Seeing that the appearance was extremely poisonous, Li Shuidao showed a happy face, and stopped and waited for the poisonous insect to come.
The centipede didn't even look at him, and walked away in style.
Li Shuidao continued to move forward with a disappointed face, the cave was very wet, his feet were wet, and his shoes were already wet, but he didn't see a few poisonous insects.
Soon Li Shuidao found a "corpse".
When he got closer, it was Li Shuilang, a golden scorpion lying on his forehead, and a faint blood light shrouded the scorpion and Li Shuilang.
Luckily, it was a poisonous scorpion.
Li Shuidao continued to move forward cautiously, and next to Li Shuilang, another corpse fell in the corner.
Li Shuiting was facing the sky on her back, and a dark red poisonous snake coiled around her.
Viper!
Yes, Shui Ting's sister is also lucky.
Wait a minute!
According to his own theory, any isolated system will tend to balance yin and yang, and the five elements will grow together.
The metallic scorpion is leaving, so it is a bit redundant to restrain the metallic fire attribute snake venom.
If the snake venom is to leave, then the water venom to restrain the fire venom is somewhat redundant.
If your theory is correct, the next poison should be a toad.
"Quack!"
A toad the size of a basin blocked Li Shuidao's path.
What a toad!
Looking at this toad staring at the big eyes of the copper bell, there are ugly bumps on the skin.
A big toad.
This...... It's also too ugly.
Li Shuidao's face showed a look of disgust.
"Quack!" The toad jumped forward.
Don't come here!
Li Shuidao even wanted to run away.
Lying!
A jasper toad lay on Li Shuidao's forehead first, and the poison entered his body, making him unconscious in an instant.
Poof.
Li Shuidao fell straight to the ground.
Next to a clear stream, a tadpole is wrapped in an egg shell, and it is struggling to break free from it.
In the end, it bravely overcame many difficulties, broke away from the egg shell, and became a small green and tender tadpole.
Tadpoles roost in the shallow grass of the creek, devouring plant debris at the bottom of the pond and dodging the occasional small fish, shrimp and birds that pass by.
Soon the tadpole turned into a small frog, and the mosquitoes and flies hovering over the weeds were its favorite food.
It devoured the wild spirit grass, its bloodline kept awakening, and finally turned into a jasper toad, looking at the moon and cooing......
Li Shuidao opened his eyes suddenly, and there was an eerie darkness around him, with only a golden light at the exit.
His mind was empty, and the chaotic thoughts were churning in his brain, and for a while he couldn't even tell whether he was a human or a toad, and in a trance, his consciousness seemed to be divided into two, one was a human and the other was a toad.
This is the Five Poison Cave, his own name is Li Shuidao, and his own colleague is a jasper toad.
Cuckoo......
A jasper toad, only half the size of a palm and with a body as crystal as jade, jumped to his shoulder.
Li Shuidao took advantage of the light at the entrance of the cave and looked at the toad.
Not to mention it's pretty cute......
He calmed down and headed towards the entrance of the cave.
"There's movement!"
"It's out, it's out."
Li Shuidao walked out of the Five Poison Caves, and a group of Li family members looked at him nervously in a ring with solemn expressions.
Li Shuilang, Li Shuiting, Li Haoze and Li Yijun all stood outside the door waiting, and it seemed that they had been in a coma for the longest time.
Li Shuilang had a huge scorpion hanging on his shoulder, Li Shuiting had a small poisonous snake wrapped around his wrist, Li Haoze had a centipede wrapped around his wrist, and Li Yijun had a gray gecko coiled around his palm.
Li Shuidao looked at his shoulder, which happened to constitute the five poisons.
"Come here." Li Tianliang greeted.
Li Shuidao hurriedly stood with Li Shuilang and the others.
Then Li Tianliang announced a new batch of clansmen who had entered the Five Poison Caves.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Li Shuidao asked subconsciously.
"It's been about half an hour, and we've just woken up."
……
After about two hours, all the people were given their own companions.
Twenty-three fourteen-year-old Li family monks stood together, waiting for the family's final verdict.
Li Shuidao is the elder brother of the family, and if there are brothers in the family, they must be separated, and the elder brother will enter the sect; Tongshen is a toad, and his talent is the weakest; Coupled with the fact that he was low-key and had no reputation, the patriarch naturally drew a tick for him.
"Li Shuilang, Li Shuidao, Li Yijun, Li Yicheng, Li Shuilong, Li Yiqing, Li Shuilin, Li Haotang, Li Yixin...... followed the old man up the mountain, and the rest returned to the family with Li Tianling. Patriarch Li Haimo announced loudly.
"Brother! I don't want to be separated from you. Li Shuiting's eyes flickered with tears. She is fourteen years old, but she is still that petite and delicate body, which can only be described as pure.
Li Shuilang looked more mature and steady, he touched his sister's head, smiled and said, "Sister, why are you crying?" There weren't so many cultivation resources in the family, and the elder brother was just cultivating in a different place. ”
"Mm-hmm, brother, I know." Li Shuiting nodded and said.
Subsequently, Li Haimo took Li Shuilang, Li Shuidao and more than a dozen disciples up the mountain along the trail.
The rest of the clansmen returned the same way, Li Shuiting wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and also turned around, preparing to follow everyone home.
Brother and sister must be separated!
has Li Shuiting's younger sister, as a bond of family affection, Li Shuilang has to endure it even if he is a cow or a horse when he arrives in the sect.
can't be so pessimistic, in case Li Shuilang is liked by the master, not only does not let him work, but also teaches the mantle.
Li Shuidao: Why do I say just in case?
Jasper Toad: Goo.
Li Haimo led the people all the way through the mountains and forests, along the trail all the way up, and finally walked to the Dengxian Terrace of the Five Poison Gate before dark.
The so-called Dengsendai is a large number of houses.
"Sons! Hide all your fellow members from the public. Li Haimo warned.
Everyone put their comrades in their sleeves.
Soon, a round-faced monk greeted everyone with a smile: "You fellow disciples don't need to be restrained, when you arrive at Dengxiantai, you are already disciples of our Five Poisons Sect, and you will send the broad-robed black robes of this sect in a while." ”
"You must be hungry too, I'll have someone bring me some food in a moment."
"Thank you, brother."
"Huh...... No need to be polite. ”
The people entered the small courtyard.
Soon, someone sent twelve "broad robes and black robes".
Wearing a wide robe and a black robe, he is an official disciple of the Five Poisons Sect.
Li Shuidao naturally wore it too, and this suit was lined with many ropes, which could be worn by any figure.
The jasper toad jumped into the wide sleeves of the wide black robe, and disappeared in an instant.
The other people's co-workers also got into their broad clothes lightly, and they didn't show it at all.
