Cunning Fox

After plowing for about a quarter of an hour through the twisting tunnels that wound through the volcano, Qin Ruo finally thought that he had found his way forward.

The Flametongue Toads seemed to always be well aware of his position and movement, and were intimately familiar with this network of tunnels. With each move that he made, the Toads drew a little closer toward him.

Qin Ruo didn't know if this was because he had his Frostbarrier up, allowing the Flametongue Toads to home in on the source of cool air, but it certainly saved him a lot of trouble!

At least he wouldn't have to keep bumbling blindly through the tunnels, looking for the Toads so he could finish that task!

In this way, a great many Flametongue Toads were slain in less than twenty minutes, with Qin Ruo using the same trick on each one so that they were incinerated in the lava that they themselves drew forth.

The first task had been completed!
