Chapter 325 - Ice Magic Toad

  It had just flown out less than 30 feet when suddenly, countless blue-black ice arrows shot out from the dark water.

  The ice arrows covered a wide area, and the foundation-building cultivators could not dodge them in time. In a hurry, they had to raise a black shield to dodge and protect themselves.

  The power of the ice arrows was beyond everyone's imagination. With a crackling sound, blue-black marks appeared on the surface of the shield, which was a third-grade defensive magic weapon.

  "The ice arrows contain a deadly poison."

  Lu Xuan said slowly.

  His eyesight was among the best among the many foundation-building cultivators, and he could clearly see wisps of black smoke rising from the shield.

  Above the dark waters, the foundation-building cultivators noticed something unusual and used their spiritual power to the maximum. They didn't care about the shields with marks on them and quickly returned to the crowd.

  "What kind of monster is hidden in this water?"

  The cultivators looked at the dark waters below. Although the secret realm was just ahead, no one wanted to take the risk and rush to the front.

  A short cultivator walked out of the crowd and sprinkled countless silver powders on the waters.

  After a few breaths, thousands of toads appeared in the water below. They

  were densely packed and surfaced from time to time.

  The toads were dark blue and extremely large, with several black bumps on their backs. The blue-black ice arrows were shot from them.

  "Let's try it."

  Three people stepped forward, each of them gushing out a large amount of spiritual power, forming a thick spiritual power shield, and flew over the dark waters together at a very fast speed, trying to quickly cross the waters and reach the deserted island.

  In the waters, waves rose, and ice arrows shot out from the backs of the toads like rain.

  A faint black gas filled the air, and a fishy smell came from it.

  The spiritual light of the spiritual shield formed by the three people flowed at a very fast speed. Once it was about to break, spiritual power would be replenished immediately.

  But there were too many ice arrows, and the black smoke was highly corrosive. The spiritual power shield became precarious under the impact of countless ice arrows.

  The three people were too far away from the deserted island, and they had no confidence that they could reach the other side safely under such an impact, so they also retreated.

  "Most of them are second-grade monsters, and there are quite a few third-grade monsters among them."

  "But there are too many of them. It's really too difficult to reach the island safely."

  After two experiments, everyone had a general understanding of the strength of the many toads in the deep black waters.

  If the losses are ignored, most of the foundation-building monks present can pass through the waters here, but the problem is that it is difficult to do so.

  The secret realm is right in front of us. If these toads lose a lot of spiritual power, lose important magic tools, and their strength is greatly reduced, they may miss the opportunity to obtain the treasures inside.

  For this purpose, everyone is looking forward to someone taking the lead in attacking the toad monsters and reducing their own losses to the minimum.

  The waters are extremely wide, and many monks are walking around the periphery, trying to find a suitable route.

  Lu Xuan and Shi Zhong, together, bypassed the other monks and came to a relatively remote location.

  "I don't know where these toads come from. There are so many of them. Could it be that they stay in the secret realm without monks cleaning them up, so they have been multiplying to this point today?"

  Shi Zhong guessed.

  Lu Xuan said nothing. When he tried to attack the defense line of the deep blue toad, he silently scattered many monster fragments.

  Because they were mixed in the continuous sword intent, Shi Zhong and the others did not notice Lu Xuan's small action. There were

  many toads distributed in the water area. Even if they were afraid of what Lu Xuan scattered, there were always some who accidentally swallowed it. After completing the feeding process, Lu Xuan learned detailed information about it.

  [Ice Fantasy Toad, a social monster, mainly second-grade, and a few leaders are third-grade monsters. They master low-level and middle-level ice magic, nourish poisonous ice arrows in their bodies, and have a strong ability to hide in water.] [It is

  extremely sensitive to things moving at high speeds, and will become extremely crazy under the stimulation of fire spirit power.]   

  "It looks like an ice monster. According to the principle of the five elements, why not use fire magic to attack it? Maybe it will have an unexpected effect."

  Just as Lu Xuan lowered his head to digest the information in his mind, Zhou Bingyu suggested.

  "Absolutely not!"

  He hurriedly stopped him.

  Shi Zhong and the others looked at him in confusion.

  "I just remembered the origin of this toad monster. I remember seeing it in a certain book in the sect's Sutra Pavilion. The monster is called Ice Fantasy Toad. It contains a strong poison. Fire magic will only have a negative effect."

  "Then how to deal with it?" Hearing that Lu Xuan knew the origin of the monster, Shi Zhong's face showed a hint of expectation.

  "Strong attack will definitely not work, but there is a targeted method that can reduce the consumption of spiritual power and reach the other side safely."

  Lu Xuan said softly, with a slight movement of the corner of his mouth, and sent a voice message to the two.

  "Daoyou Lu, are you sure this method is effective?"

  Zhou Bingyu frowned, looking puzzled.

  Lu Xuan's suggestion really sounded a bit incredible. Facing so many ice fantasy toads, he actually wanted to cross the deep black waters 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 also retreat safely."

  The three looked at each other and returned to the crowd.

  After a discussion, the other foundation-building monks finally decided to force their way through the siege of the toad monsters.

  Shi Zhong suggested that the three of them should be the last, and the others were eager to reach the deserted island as soon as possible, so they naturally had no objection.

  More than ten people flew to the sky above the deep black waters, some of them urged the most powerful defensive magic tools and talismans, and some drove flying magic tools and rushed in the air at the fastest speed.

  In an instant, a sharp whistle sounded, and countless blue-black ice arrows attacked the crowd at lightning speed.

  Lu Xuan and the other two took out their defensive magic tools, flew around them, and followed behind the crowd at a leisurely pace.

  The ice arrows attacking the three people were obviously much less than those of others.

  The spiritual consciousness of the other foundation-building monks noticed this scene, but they didn't think much about it, just thinking that the three people were behind.

  Although the ice arrows attacking Lu Xuan and the other two were reduced by more than half, their power was still not to be underestimated.

  Among the three, Shi Zhong and Zhou Bingyu were responsible for blocking the ice arrows, while Lu Xuan was responsible for removing the poison. The division of labor was clear.

  The poison gas carried evil spiritual power, so Lu Xuan

  took out a third-grade spiritual purification talisman and purified it directly.

  The foundation-building monks in front kept attacking, stopping and starting, while the three of them kept a constant speed, so the ice arrow attacks they attracted were also very stable.

  When they arrived at the deserted island, their speed was not much slower than most of the other foundation-building monks, and they saved a lot of spiritual power. It

  can play a significant role in the subsequent actions.

  Shi Zhong and the others knew it clearly in their hearts, and they expressed their gratitude to Lu Xuan.

  "I didn't expect that Daoyou Lu, who has been with spiritual plants and spiritual beasts for a long time, can play a key role in this situation. Practicing hundreds of arts, each has its own great role."

  "I just happened to see the records about this ice fantasy toad. It is also my honor to be able to help the two Daoists."

  Lu Xuan said with a smile.

  The two of them helped him before he entered the secret realm, so he naturally had to return the favor.
