Chapter Forty-Six: The Strange Toad
After the surface of the spider web completely faded from the surface of the spider monster, the entire spider web returned to its original appearance. At this moment, the huge red spider monster was lying on the edge of the web, not moving, but several wounds had appeared on its body, and blood was constantly remaining.
Seeing the spider monster dying on the spider web, Wen Yiyang, who had completely recovered to his original appearance at this moment, of course knew in his heart that his method of breaking the formation had been successful. Just when Wen Yiyang was proud for a while, the painful voice of the red spider monster came from his ears: "I really didn't expect that my Nine Palace Bagua Array would be cracked by you three stinky Taoists so easily, but don't think that if you break this Bagua Array of mine, you will be able to get out of my territory smoothly, even if I die, I will take the three of you to be buried together." With that, the red spider used its last strength to tear off the silk that was linked to the guillotine, and then swallowed after spitting out a mouthful of blood.
At the moment when the spider monster died, the entire spider web suddenly disappeared under the feet of Yu Fei'er and the three of them. The three of them were unprepared that the spider monster would break the spider silk that was linked to the guillotine before they could breathe. When the cobwebs under their feet suddenly disappeared, the bodies of the three of them immediately fell along with the corpse of the red spider monster towards the huge cavern under the cobwebs.
As their bodies continued to fall down the cave, the three of them noticed that the cave was becoming narrower around it. Although they don't know how deep this cave is under the cobwebs, the three of them have a general understanding of the internal structure of this cave in their hearts. The interior of the cave appears to resemble a giant funnel, with a wide mouth and a narrow waist. After noticing this strange shape inside the cave, the three of them immediately grabbed the corpse of the red spider monster and slid down the edge of the cave alertly.
The three of them were about to slide down to the bottom of the cave along the edge of the cave, but just when they were still two feet high from the bottom of the cave, the edge of the cave suddenly turned into a vertical shape. Yu Fei'er was the first to notice this sudden change, and hurriedly reminded Wen Yiyang and Whitebeard Laodao: "Everyone hurry up and hold on to the corpse of this spider monster, we will soon fall vertically." ”
"What??," Wen Yiyang thought he had misheard.
"We're still some distance from the bottom of the cave, and if we fall vertically like this, won't the three of us really be thrown to our death?" asked Whitebeard Elder worriedly.
"At the moment we have no choice but to try our luck. Hold on, you're going to fall vertically. Yu Fei'er reminded again.
When people are in a desperate situation, but they are powerless to reverse it, luck becomes extremely important! This time, Yu Fei'er and the three of them are lucky. Seeing that the three of them were about to fall to the ground at the bottom of the cave, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped on the bottom of the cave, and pounced on the spider monster corpse that fell from the sky with a big mouth, and also knocked the three of them out of the way with Yu Fei'er, who was hiding on the spider monster corpse. Fortunately, at this time, Yu Fei'er and the three of them were not far from the ground at the bottom of the valley, and then under the impact of the sudden black shadow at the bottom of the valley, the downward impact of the three of them was weakened, and finally the three of them adjusted their bodies in mid-air and fell steadily to the ground.
After the three of them had fully established themselves on the ground, the frightened white-bearded old dao took the lead in asking, "What was it that pounced on the bottom of this cave before?" ”
"Sir, if you have time to ask, you might as well see for yourself. At this time, Wen Yiyang was like a great enemy, and as he spoke, he quickly pulled out his peachwood sword from behind his back.
"You little Taoist, aren't you obviously bullying the old man, my eyesight is not good. Since you don't want to answer, then I'll just see the old man myself, what's the big deal. Whitebeard replied as he squinted his eyes and looked carefully ahead of him. When he saw the appearance of the black shadow in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This, this...... Ahh
No wonder Wen Yiyang is like a great enemy, how could there be such a huge toad in the human world? Could it be that this huge toad is also a monster entrenched in this Xianxia Ridge to cause trouble? But soon, the worry in the hearts of Yu Fei'er and the three of them was vetoed by the scene that happened in front of them. I saw that the huge toad in the dark was gobbling up the corpse of the spider monster, and muttered while eating: "Usually your spider monster is always dangling in front of my eyes, relying on yourself to climb high, I can't eat you, today is good, you fell by yourself, then I'm not welcome." The more the toad ate, the happier it became, and he didn't care about the three strangers standing in front of him, which made Yu Fei'er and the three of them who were watching from the side feel a little creepy in their hearts.
Although he had already decided in his heart that this big toad was not in league with those monsters who were making trouble in Xianxia Ridge, Wen Yiyang still couldn't help but ask tentatively at the big toad: "Are you a big toad with the earthworm monster, bat demon, centipede spirit, and this spider monster entrenched in this Xianxia Ridge?" If you are really a gang, why do you have to eat it along with the body of your accomplice?"
In the midst of the exclamation of the white-bearded old man and Wen Yiyang's questioning, the big toad that was enjoying the food on its side finally slowly turned its body, widened the two lantern-sized eyes on its head and began to look at the three of them, and continued to swallow the spider monster's body in its mouth, but it didn't say a word.
Seeing that the big toad in front of him was only concerned about devouring the corpse of the spider monster, and didn't pay attention to the meaning of the three people on his side at all, the white-bearded old man boldly guessed: "Maybe it's just an ordinary toad with a relatively large body, we don't need to be nervous to see a larger animal and say it's a monster." ”
"Sir, do you really think it's just an ordinary toad? Have you ever seen such a huge toad before? Not to mention that this toad can speak human language. Yu Fei'er didn't agree with Whitebeard's old way.
Just when Yu Fei'er denied Whitebeard's previous speculation, the big toad suddenly spoke: "It turns out that there are three Taoist priests who are still practicing. Why? You were also tricked by the monsters in Xianxia Ridge to come here?" At this, the big toad immediately muttered to himself again, "No, no. If you three Taoist priests were tricked into this cave by those monsters, then why did this spider monster come down with you? Hmph, you stinky spider, not only tricked me into this cave, but also built your own home at the entrance of the cave to monitor me every day. Ever since I was imprisoned in this cave, I haven't seen a living person, not even the light of the sun in the sky, and I can only watch you damn spider dangling in front of my eyes every day. For so many years, I have been cursing all the time, cursing you damn spider to fall down, as long as you accidentally fall, my toad-sama will not show mercy, and will definitely swallow you alive. Speaking of excitement, the big toad immediately clenched its fists and waved its arms, but when it spoke of its sore spots, tears immediately welled up from its eyes.
After his emotions slowly calmed down, the big toad continued: "From what you three Taoist priests said just now, I can tell that you seem to have met those monsters entrenched in Xianxia Ridge, and now the three of you can still come here safe and sound, could it be that those monsters have been eliminated by the three of you?" After speaking, the big toad looked at Yu Fei'er and the three of them with a surprised expression.
The white-bearded old man immediately rushed to reply with a look of anger: "Of course, just with the little Taoism of these little monsters, I don't take them seriously." Have you noticed the wound on the spider monster you bit in the mouth? One of the fatal wounds is my masterpiece. After saying that, the white-bearded old man immediately laughed proudly.
Wen Yiyang's attention was also completely focused on the big toad in front of him at this moment, and he didn't pay attention to what the white-bearded old man was saying, and just asked the big toad: "You just said that you were tricked here by those monsters, why did they trick you here, why did they imprison you again?"
After listening to a series of questions raised by Wen Yiyang, the big toad looked up at the sky and talked about his past with sadness: "Actually, the true identity of Lord Ben Toad is a toad immortal in the sky. I think you three Taoist priests should know that every year on March 3, the Queen Mother in the heavenly realm will hold a peach festival and invite all the gods to celebrate their birthdays. At the recent peach event, Xiaoxian I was fortunate to be among the invitations to this peach event. Because it was the first time he was invited to participate in the peach festival, Xiaoxian got carried away for a while, and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of wine at the banquet. Think about Xiaoxian's previous time in the heavenly realm, it was really free, the scenery is infinite, and now he has been punished to the human world, not only is he ugly and disliked, but he can only live in a dark and damp rancid place, when he thinks of this change that happened to him, he regrets it in his heart, but he can't go back to the past, so he has to wash his face with tears in the sky every day. Speaking of sadness, the big toad's voice choked up a little, and tears had already soaked its eyes.
"It turns out that Brother Toad is a god in the sky, it's really disrespectful, disrespectful!" Knowing that the big toad in front of him turned out to be a god in the sky, Wen Yiyang's attitude immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees, "After Brother Toad was punished from the human realm, why did he get entangled with these monsters in Xianxia Ridge?"
"It's all my gluttonous mouth, not only caused me a big disaster at the Queen Mother's peach festival, but also caused me to be trapped here because of my greed after being punished from the human world. The big toad said as he raised his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes. After wiping away all the tears from the corners of his eyes, it continued, "The story of this has to start after the immortal was relegated to the human world. I wandered in the human world, and when I came to the vicinity of Xianxia Ridge, I was immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery and abundant food in Xianxia Ridge, so I decided to live in this Xianxia Ridge for a long time, so as not to wander around again. One day, shortly after I settled in Xianxialing, I went out to look for food as usual. Suddenly, I noticed that a huge earthworm was moving not far from me, and I was so hungry that I immediately cautiously approached the earthworm. Seeing that this delicious meal at his fingertips was about to reach his mouth, he didn't want to be discovered by the earthworm, so he immediately fled. How could this mouth-touching delicacy let it slip away so easily, I immediately pulled my steps away and chased after the earthworm. I chased after it, unaware that I had been led into a trap set by the spider monster by this earthworm. When I found out that I was on the ground, I was immediately besieged by four monsters entrenched in Xianxia Ridge: earthworms, centipedes, bats, and spiders. Fortunately, Benxian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately used all his strength to fight with those four monsters. Before I knew it, I had been fighting with the four monsters all day in the webs woven by the spider monsters, but we never came out on top. ”
When talking about how he fought with those four monsters for a whole day but never decided the winner, the big toad suddenly stopped, sighed very unwillingly in his heart, and continued: "If it weren't for the fact that this immortal made a mistake in the heavenly realm, was punished, and lost most of his mana after being driven out of the human realm, with the way of these four little demons, I didn't pay attention to this immortal at all, but now, I can only tie with these four little demons, it is really a tiger falling on the plain and being bullied by dogs." After saying this, the big toad suddenly changed the topic, "Hearing this, Ben Xian knows that the three of you must be very curious in your heart, why did these four little demons set a trap to get rid of me? At that time, Ben Xian's heart also had such curiosity, and in the process of fighting with these four little demons, I finally learned from their mouths why they planned to harm me. It turned out that these four little demons had begun to pay attention to me secretly when they came to Xianxialing, because the four of them were afraid that they would be eaten by the immortals one by one, so they decided to join forces and secretly set up this trap, the purpose was to get rid of the immortals with one blow. But after some fighting, these four little demons found that they were not completely sure that they could get rid of me with their ways. So, the spider monster among the four monsters secretly opened its cobwebs while the fairy was fighting, and let me fall into the cave they had prepared in advance, and then the spider monster quickly closed its cobwebs and completely sealed me at the bottom of the cave. In this way, I am trapped here, and there will never be a day. ”
"What a sad story, I can't imagine that the fate of the gods will be so tortuous and bumpy. Wen Yiyang couldn't help but sigh after listening to the story of the toad immortal.
But after listening to the story told by the toad immortal, Yu Fei'er seemed to be preoccupied, and her two eyes kept looking at the environment around the bottom of the cave, and she always felt that there was something wrong with the toad immortal's words. After looking around the bottom of the cave, Yu Fei'er's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found the loophole in the words that the toad immortal had said before, and immediately asked coldly at the big toad: "After listening to the story you just told, it seems that the four monsters in Xianxia Mountain have been entrenched here a long time ago, but the merchants who have been trading in this Fujian and Zhejiang area before have never mentioned that there are monsters making trouble here, but in the last four, In the past five years, there have been incidents of monsters making chaos and hurting people on Xianxia Mountain, is it possible that it was because you came to this Xianxia Ridge that there was a so-called monster rebellion? What kind of causal relationship does there have between you? I think you should know best. ”
What was the purpose of Yu Fei'er's words? What did he see in the big toad at the bottom of the cave?
The mystery of the monster rebellion in Xianxia Mountain is about to be revealed, so stay tuned!
