Chapter 325 Ice Fantasy
It was less than thirty feet after flying out, when suddenly, countless blue and black ice arrows shot out from the deep black water.
The ice arrows covered a very wide area, and the Foundation Establishment casual cultivators were unable to dodge them. In a hurry, they had no choice but to pick up a black shield and dodge while protecting themselves.
The power of the ice arrow was beyond everyone’s imagination. Amidst the crackling sound, blue and black marks appeared on the surface of the third-grade defensive magic weapon level shield.
“Ice arrows contain extremely poison.”
Lu Xuan said slowly.
His eyesight was at the forefront among the many foundations, and he could clearly see wisps of fine black smoke rising from the shield.
In the sky above the deep black water, the base-building casual cultivator noticed an abnormality and activated his spiritual power to the maximum. He ignored the traces of the shield and quickly returned to the ranks of the people.
“What kind of monster is hiding in these waters?”
The monks looked at the deep black water below. Although the secret realm was right in front, no one wanted to take the risk and rush to the front.
A short monk walked out of the crowd and sprinkled countless silver powder on the water.
After a few breaths, thousands of toads appeared in the water below.
Densely packed, rising to the surface from time to time.
The toad is dark blue in color, extremely large in size, and has several black bumps on its back, from which the blue-black ice arrows were shot.
“Let’s try it.”
Three people stepped forward, each with a large amount of spiritual power gushing out from their bodies, forming a thick spiritual power shield, and flew together over the deep black water at extremely fast speeds, trying to quickly cross the water and reach the deserted island.
In the water, waves stirred up, and ice arrows shot out from the toad’s back like rain.
A faint black air filled the air, and there was a fishy smell.
The aura of the aura shield formed by the three people circulates very quickly. Once it is about to be destroyed, the aura will be replenished immediately.
But there were too many ice arrows, and the black smoke was highly corrosive. The spiritual shield was in danger under the impact of countless ice arrows one after another.
The three of them were too far away from the deserted island and had no confidence that they could reach the other side safely and unscathed under such an impact, so they also retreated.
“Most of them are second-grade monsters, with many third-grade monsters mixed in.”
“But there are too many of them. It’s really difficult to reach the island safely.”
After two experiments, everyone had a rough idea of the strength of the many toads in the deep black waters.
If losses were not considered, most of the foundation-building monks present could pass through the waters here, but the problem was that it was difficult to do so.
The secret realm is right in front of us. If these toads consume a lot of spiritual power, lose important magic weapons, and greatly reduce their strength, they may miss the chance of the treasures inside.
For this purpose, everyone hopes that someone will take the lead in attacking the toad monster, so that their losses can be minimized.
The water area is extremely wide, and many monks are walking around the perimeter, trying to find a suitable route.
Together, Lu Xuan and Shi Zhong bypassed the other monks and came to a relatively remote location.
“I don’t know what the origin of these toads is, but there are so many of them. Could it be that they stayed in the secret realm without monks to clean them up, so they have continued to multiply to this point?”
Shi Zhong guessed.
Lu Xuan didn’t say a word. When he tried to attack the deep blue toad’s defense line, he silently used his technique to scatter numerous pieces of monsters.
Because they were mixed up in Mianmian’s sword intention, Shi Zhong and the others did not notice Lu Xuan’s small movement.
There were many toads scattered in the water, and even if they were taboo about what Lu Xuan sprinkled, there would always be some who accidentally swallowed them. After completing the feeding process, Lu Xuan learned detailed information about it.
[Ice Phantom Toad is a group of monsters, mainly second-grade monsters, with a few bosses being third-grade monsters. They master low-level and mid-level ice spells, nourish poisonous ice arrows in their bodies, and are extremely capable of hiding in water. 】
[Extremely sensitive to things moving at high speed, and will become extremely crazy when stimulated by fire spiritual power. 】
Just as Lu Xuan lowered his head to digest the information in his mind, Zhou Bingyu suggested.
“Absolutely not!”
He quickly stopped him.
Shi Zhong and the two looked at him doubtfully.
“I just remembered the origin of this toad monster. I remember reading it in a certain book in the sect’s scripture collection pavilion. The monster’s name is the Ice Fantasy Toad. It contains highly toxic substances. Fire spells will only have negative effects. Effect.”
“Then how should we deal with it?” Upon hearing that Lu Xuan knew the origin of the monster, a trace of expectation appeared on Shi Zhong’s face.
“A strong attack will definitely not work, but there is a targeted method that can reduce the consumption of spiritual power and reach the opposite side safely.”
Lu Xuan said softly, moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and transmitted the message to the two of them.
“Friend Lu Dao, are you sure this method is effective?”
Zhou Bingyu frowned, looking confused.
It’s really Lu Xuan’s suggestion that sounds a bit unbelievable. Facing so many ice fantasy toads, they actually want to cross the deep black water at a slow speed.
“You can try it, maybe it will work. We can follow the team with the largest number of people and let them share the firepower of the Ice Fantasy Toad. If the method doesn’t work, we can retreat safely.”
The three of them looked at each other and returned to the crowd.
After some discussion, the other foundation-building monks finally decided to break through the siege of toad monsters together.
Shi Zhong suggested that the three of them stay behind. The others were eager to reach the desert island as soon as possible, so naturally they would not have any objections.
More than a dozen people flew to the sky above the deep black water, or used the most powerful defensive magic weapon, talismans, or controlled the flying magic weapon, galloping through the air at the fastest speed.
In an instant, a sharp whistle sounded, and countless blue and black ice arrows struck everyone at lightning speed.
Lu Xuan and the others took out their defensive magic weapons, flew them around, and followed the others leisurely.
The ice arrows that attacked the three of them were obviously much less than those of the others.
The other foundation-building monks noticed this scene with their spiritual senses, and didn’t think much about it. They just thought that the three of them were lagging behind.
Although more than half of the ice arrows that attacked Lu Xuan and the others were missing, their power should not be underestimated.
Among the three people, Shi Zhong and Zhou Bingyu were responsible for blocking the ice arrows, while Lu Xuan was responsible for removing the poison. There was a clear division of labor.
The poisonous gas contains evil spiritual power, so Lu Xuan specially
Take out a third-grade pure spirit talisman and purify it directly.
The foundation-building monks in front kept attacking, stopping and going, but the three of them kept a constant speed, so the ice arrow attacks they attracted were also very stable.
When he arrived at the desert island, his speed was not much slower than most of the other foundation-building monks, so he could save a lot of spiritual energy.
It can have obvious effects in subsequent actions.
Shi Zhong and the two knew clearly in their hearts, and they expressed their gratitude to Lu Xuan.
“I didn’t expect that Fellow Daoist Lu, who has been associated with spiritual plants and spiritual beasts for a long time, could play a key role in this situation. Practicing various arts has its own important role.”
“I just happened to see the records about this Ice Fantasy Toad. It is an honor for me to be able to help these two fellow Taoists.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
The two of them offered to help him before he entered the secret realm, and he naturally had to reciprocate.
