The water flowed silently, pouring into the streets, alleys, through the cracks under the houses, and under the stimulation of the drugs, the toads in the water became manic, and they couldn't help but want to leave.

Many toads followed the current, and after a moment they jumped out one after another, and rushed to a place where there was no water, and when they left the current, the toads quieted down, but it was not long before the current came again, and they had to jump again.

Of course, not all toads will leave obediently, and at this time the villagers also joined the battle, taking broom tools and sweeping the dodging toads into the water, so that they can leave as soon as possible.

Stimulated by the drugs and washed by the water, the army of toads retreated from the town little by little.

The sun sets in the west, and the sunset is red.

After more than two hours of fighting, the toad army was finally driven to a low-lying meadow outside the town, and a large amount of water formed puddles on the low-lying ground, blocking the toad army.

Ying Wuxin said hello, Li Zhengdao finished the formula, the water flow stopped, and the others also rested one after another, just simply maintained a formula, which did not consume much natural energy, they persisted for a long time, and the consumption was not much, so there was basically no tiredness.

The inhabitants of the town came out and acted together, catching the remaining toads, putting them in various utensils, and throwing them together in the low-lying waters.

At this point, all the toads in the town have been cleared.

Hong Yu brought a few old people and many villagers to express their gratitude.

"Thank you for your amazing powers and saving our village, and I, Hong Yu, on behalf of the villagers in the town, would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you. Hong Yu bowed gratefully.

"Thank you, Daoists. The others saluted.

Li Zhengdao was about to return the salute, but he said unintentionally: "Don't stick here, I've been busy for a long time, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

Sun Xiaoman glanced at him, this foodie, he knows how to eat, Bai Miaozhen smiled, his eyes were slightly tender, Wang Banxian's excited eyes lit up, and he swallowed his saliva.

Li Zhengdao chuckled, also relaxed, and said, "Don't blame Elder Hong, we are indeed a little hungry. ”

"How can it be? You have been busy for a long time, this is all as it should be, the meal has been prepared, it is at our house, let's go together." Hong Yu waved his hand.

The people in front got out of the way, and everyone stepped on the potholed dirt road and went to the Hong family's house.

Dinner was ready, the whole house was brightly lit, very bright, everyone sat down, Hong Yu said some words of thanks, and dinner started.

The meal was very rich, except that there was no wine, which was basically the specification of the banquet.

After eating, everyone returned to the inn again, washed and rested, and prepared to go to the mountains tomorrow to investigate the situation.

At night, I don't know when it started, bursts of toad cries came, more and more, and they became one, and the noisy few people couldn't cultivate, couldn't sleep, and had to get up, just sit idle, and wait for dawn.

At dawn, the cries of the toads gradually stopped, and everyone had breakfast and went to visit Hong's house to inquire about the situation last night.

"After calling all night, the noisy people couldn't sleep, but that's all, there were no accidents, and no toads entered the village again. Hong Yu's face was a little haggard.

The toad's cry sounded last night, and he thought that the toad army was going to enter the town again, and he worried all night, but fortunately this morning he investigated and nothing happened.

"But these toads still don't leave, I'm afraid things may not be so simple!" said an old man with gray hair.

Li Zhengdao nodded and said solemnly: "Let's set off to investigate, I believe we will be able to find out the reason soon." ”

"Thank you. Everyone thanked them.

Li Zhengdao flew up with Wang Banxian and went straight to the mountains outside the town, followed by the other three.

Looking at the flying sky, it quickly went away, and when it came to a few people hundreds of meters away, Hong Yu and the others were shocked and envious, this man's magical power was really extraordinary.

When they came to the waterfall again, they looked around and found that there was a path into the mountain for only one person, and it was obvious that people often walked this road.

Li Zhengdao pondered for a moment, and then took the lead and flew along the path towards the mountain.

The trail stretched for three or four miles into the mountains, but after that, the trail was gone, and behind it was all dense woods, steep mountain walls, and rushing streams.

"How do you find it next?" Li Zhengdao stopped and asked.

Several people looked at each other, and finally looked at Ying Wuxin.

"Toads are also living creatures, living things, naturally they want to eat food, we just need to find out where there is food for toads in this mountain, to be precise, it is a place where a large amount of food gathers, it should be the original gathering place of the toad. "There should be no heart.

"What do toads eat?" Bai Miaozhen asked curiously.

Sun Xiaoman said: "I know this, toads eat mosquitoes, so we have to find a place with a lot of mosquitoes, and mosquitoes like to gather in places with lush aquatic plants, because it is convenient for them to find food and reproduce, so we just need to find places with lush aquatic plants in the mountains." ”

"It is worthy of being a medical path cultivator, the Sun Girl is really powerful!" Wang Banxian couldn't help but admire.

"It's amazing. "I have no intention and have to admire.

Seeing that Ying Wuxin also nodded, Li Zhengdao pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's go up to a high place and see where there are more water plants." ”

Speaking of heights, everyone's eyes were naturally attracted by a high mountain in front of them.

It is an awl-shaped mountain, which looks steep on all sides, but there are still dense forests on it, which looks like it is about a thousand meters, which is quite rare in the plains.

The people flew up and stood on the top of the hill and looked around.

Li Zhengdao first used the Qi Technique to observe, but still did not find any evil breath, so he should have no intention of listening to the wind technique, nor did he hear a valuable voice.

People can only rely on their eyes to find a place where water and grass are lush in the mountains and ravines.

"There's a clearing there, and there won't be patches of aquatic plants. Sun Xiaoman pointed ahead.

The others looked at each other, but none answered.

Li Zhengdao nodded and said, "I'll go and see first, you guys are waiting here." ”

After speaking, Li Zhengdao flew up and went straight to the open space in front of him.

Ying Wuxin looked around, and finally his eyes were attracted by a ravine, and said, "I'll go and see it too, you stay where you are and wait." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Li Zhengdao flew back, and said with a bit of loss on his face: "No, there are all forests and no streams. ”

"Come here. ”

Ying Wuxin stood on the top of a big tree, smiling and waving to everyone.

The four of them flew over and saw a stream in front of them, the water flow was relatively gentle, and on both sides were green aquatic plants one foot high, which was very lush, and the range distributed on both sides of the stream was particularly long.

Ying Wuxin said: "This ravine is several miles long, and the water flow has always been relatively gentle, which is very suitable for toads to thrive here, and the aquatic plants are lush enough, and there must be enough mosquitoes for them to use as food." ”

"Well, this is the toad's nest. Wang Banxian said. "But now it's quiet, there's nothing. ”

Ying Wuxin said: "Just go down and take a look." ”

The five of them flew down, and the water of the stream was full of aquatic grass, and then on both sides of the river, there was a meadow, green and dense, but this grass was not high, and it grew bifurcated on all sides, so that the whole terrain could be clearly seen, and there was nothing else.

Everyone dispersed, going upstream and downstream to investigate, and they were busy until noon, and still no anomalies were found.

At noon, the temperature gradually rose, but it was still cool with trees to shade the ravines and streams in the mountains, and everyone sat together to rest, eating dried meat and water while discussing.

"Nothing was found here, something didn't feel quite right. Sun Xiaoman said.

Li Zhengdao nodded and said: "The toad originally lived here, and there was no quarrel with the world, under normal circumstances, it would definitely not go out, unless something happened here, such as an earthquake or other disasters, but we came all the way and didn't feel the slightest abnormality, and there was no sign of disaster here." There was no evil to stir up the toads, but these toads rushed into the town in a swarm, and they did not want to leave, which seemed a little strange. ”

Wang Banxian and Bai Miaozhen both nodded, but they did not express their opinions.

Ying Wuxin leaned against the trunk of the tree, dangled Erlang's legs and said: "Weird, there is also a weird, I don't know if you have noticed, a human clan with a surname will have a patriarch, and an animal community will also have a leader, this toad is also an animal, they should also have a leader, but yesterday's situation, we didn't see a single sign of the leader commanding the toad army, don't you think it's very abnormal?"

"Chief?" everyone was stunned, their faces changed, and they carefully recalled yesterday's situation, and it was indeed the case.

Although those toads entered the town, they did not have too strong a purpose, and they were driven away, so they stayed outside honestly, although they were noisy at night, but they did not act excessively, and they did not look like a leader.

Because if there is a leader, the leader's order, they will definitely run towards the same goal and act in unison.

"Could it be that their leader has an accident?" said Wang Banxian.

"If that's the case, they'll definitely choose another one to be their leader, and what's the use of going to the human town to make trouble, unless they think they're going to give them a leader. Ying Wuxin said, his eyes sharpening more and more.

Li Zhengdao's eyes gradually brightened, and he smiled slightly: "That's right, it seems that Brother Wuxin has already thought of it." ”

"What do you think, how can humans give toads a leader, and humans won't give birth to toads?" Wang Banxian was puzzled.

Ying Wuxin smiled proudly, and said proudly: "Humans can't give birth, but humans can catch it, this thing originally has medicinal value, and that leader may have something special, which is more valuable to humans than hunting a wild boar." ”

"Someone in the town has captured the leader of the toads!"

At this moment, several other people understood, and a look of surprise welled up on their faces at the moment.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go back and look for the person who caught the toad leader. Wang Banxian said excitedly.

The others got up, looked at each other and smiled, and flew up.
