NOVEL NEXT Chapter 62: Chapter 62
[MSBISS] Chapter 62
"Quack!"
A desperate scream echoed.
The Fire Toad King was split in half by Xiao Ye, and blood and venom splattered all over the floor.
As the Fire Toad King was slain, the surrounding Fire Toads fled in all directions.
After Xiao Ye realized the crisis was resolved, she sat down on the ground and gasped for air.
The spiritual energy in her body was nearly exhausted.
Fighting the Fire Toad King was very dangerous.
The Fire Toad King's strength was approaching the golden elixir stage, making him stronger than Xiao Ye.
The Fire Toad King's defense was formidable, and his venom was potent. Coupled with the siege from his younger brothers, Xiao Ye was in peril.
In the end, she fought for her life and managed to split the Fire Toad King in half.
But!
Xiao Ye glanced at the long sword in her hand and noticed it was pitted.
Facing the poisonous venom of the Fire Toad King, even a second-grade sword could not withstand it.
"What to do?"
Xiao Ye turned to look at Xiao Hong, who flew in front of her.
"This is the only long sword I have, and it was given to me by my master."
However, Xiao Hong ignored her and flew to the body of the Fire Toad King. He picked up a bead in his mouth, raised his head, and opened his mouth.
The fiery red bead dropped into his belly.
Xiao Ye was stunned. This was the inner elixir that had fallen from the Fire Toad King's body.
But Lu Chen arrived at lightning speed, grabbed Xiao Hong's neck, and cursed fiercely, "Stupid bird, spit it out."
"Do you know how many spirit stones the food you've just eaten is worth?"
Only cultivated monsters possess inner elixirs, and there are very few monster inner elixirs on the market.
The cultivated monsters exist in a world of their own, separate from the world where Lu Chen and the others live, making it difficult to travel between them.
It is challenging for cultivators to acquire the inner elixirs of monsters.
There are very few monster inner elixirs available, and their prices are exorbitant.
Although the Fire Toad King was in the Qi refining stage,
It is an early monster, but its inner elixir is said to be worth thousands of low-grade spirit stones.
Xiao Hong rolled his eyes and swallowed the inner elixir.
Then he gave Lu Chen a dismissive glare and flew to Xiao Ye's head.
"Damn it, you prodigal son! Did you know that the inner elixir you swallowed means you'll be able to eat spirit beans for the rest of your life?"
Xiao Hong simply lay on Xiao Ye's head to sleep, too lazy to care.
Xiao Ye defended Xiao Hong: "Second senior brother, if Xiao Hong eats it, just let him."
"Isn't it just a few spirit stones?"
Lu Chen said angrily, "People from the No. 1 Poor Ghost Family shouldn't complain about anything."
Xiao Ye was frustrated. "Why has my Xiao family become the poorest family?"
The Xiao family may not be the richest family in Qizhou, but it is somewhat famous. How could it be the poorest family?
Xiao Ye knew she couldn't argue with Lu Chen about the spirit stones.
She decided to imitate her master and hurriedly changed the subject.
She held up the tattered long sword and asked Lu Chen, "Second Senior Brother, my sword is broken; what should I do?"
"I won't have any weapons to fight with later."
Lu Chen waved his hand, and five or six second-grade long swords appeared.
Lu Chen said nonchalantly, "Take one and use it, but when you get the inner elixir later, be sure to keep it away from stupid birds."
Xiao Ye was stunned. "Second Senior Brother, where did you get these?"
Lu Chen replied, "They were given to me by someone."
Xiao Ye picked one up casually and noticed a name engraved on the hilt.
Xiao Ye understood immediately.
"Second Senior Brother, you got this through robbery, right?"
Lu Chen knocked her unceremoniously, "What robbery? That's a really ugly thing to say."
"This is a gift from them. I'm too embarrassed to sell it, and I won't use it, so I'm giving you the advantage."
Xiao Ye's heart was clearer than ever.
Why is he embarrassed to sell it? Because it was stolen.
After all, they all have their names engraved on them. It would be difficult to deal with stolen goods, making it easy for enemies to track them down.
Xiao Ye saw another long sword with a familiar name engraved on it.
This belonged to the person who had bullied her in the restaurant before.
Xiao Ye understood.
"Second Senior Brother, did you get this from the people who bullied me?"
Lu Chen did not deny it. "Yes, I confronted them and told them that bullying you was wrong."
"I told them they could repent, cry bitterly, realize their mistakes, and give these things to me to show their determination to correct their behavior."
Although she knew it was Lu Chen, she realized that what he said was probably nonsense.
But Xiao Ye felt very happy in her heart.
Without a brother, she felt the love of a brother in Lu Chen.
Xiao Ye happily held Lu Chen's hand and tugged at his clothes. "Second Senior Brother, you are so kind to me."
Lu Chen shook her off with disgust on his face. "Stop being so sentimental here."
"Master accepted you as his disciple, and I am the unlucky one."
"That bastard, Senior Brother, actually asked me to take care of you, like a nanny."
"Hurry up and have a breakthrough here. After you go back, you can follow your senior brother and stop bothering me."
The seemingly offensive words made Xiao Ye feel even happier.
This kind of relationship is truly comfortable.
Sure enough, Lingxiao Peak is the best.
Xiao Ye happily put several long swords into the storage ring and said to Lu Chen, "Second Senior Brother, don't worry; I will never embarrass you."
Lu Chen glanced at her and said, "You're very capable, right? Recover quickly and continue on your way."
"Yes!"
Xiao Ye swallowed a few pills and sat down cross-legged to restore her spiritual energy.
After recovering, the two continued on their way.
They were still on the periphery of the fire attribute area and had a long way to go to reach the core.
And as they ventured deeper, they encountered more and more dangers along the way.
Most of the dangers were due to fierce beasts, and they occasionally encountered monsters.
However, the monsters were very clever. When they realized they were outmatched, they ran away quickly.
With Xiao Ye's strength, she could only watch them escape.
Lu Chen did not take action and allowed the monsters to flee.
Xiao Ye was puzzled. "Second Senior Brother, don't these monsters have inner elixirs? Why don't you take action?"
Lu Chen's face contorted in pain, and he cursed without restraint.
"Who made you so incompetent that you let them escape?"
"That's your fight, not my prey."
Xiao Ye understood.
"Second Senior Brother, do you want me to deal with them and let them train me?"
Lu Chen said angrily, "Who would have guessed you were so incompetent?"
"I did the math; you already owe me tens of thousands of spirit stones."
Xiao Ye was stunned. "Why?"
"You let those monsters run away, which is equivalent to letting my inner elixir escape. If you don't owe me this, then who owes it to me?"
What kind of fallacy is this?
If you had taken action, would they have escaped?
Xiao Ye was about to engage in a heated debate with Lu Chen when suddenly two people emerged from the woods in front of them.
Both sides looked at each other, stunned.
