Listening to his own assessment, Yu Ziang couldn't help but blush for a moment, and said timidly: "Senior Sister Chu, can you change it to another one? I... I'm a kid..."
Chu Youwei interrupted: "You can choose to give up."
Yu Zian was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore, but the fear and anxiety on his face was still there.
Liao Minmin couldn't bear it, so she said: "Senior Sister Chu, Zi Ang got lost in the fields when he was a child, and was bullied by toads at night, which left a lot of shadows. Now he will tremble with fear when he hears the croaking cry, let alone asking him to catch it with his own hands.
, this test is too harsh for him, can you do it for me instead?"
Chu Youwei glanced at Yu Ziang, and when she saw his milky voice and frightened look, she felt unbearable in her heart, but she still put on a stern posture.
"You can help him this time, but what about in the future? He can't take you with him every time he goes on field trips?"
Chu Youwei looked at Liao Minmin seriously, "Compared to you picking Yujin dates, his assessment is extremely simple! Ask others, are they a little harsh?"
Fang Ya opened her mouth subconsciously when she heard the words, but the words 'really not harsh' that reached her throat were not uttered.
After her previous experience, she thought about things in a more comprehensive and detailed manner. Catching a three-eyed golden toad was indeed not difficult, but considering Yu Ziang's temperament and childhood experiences, such an assessment did present some challenges.
.
But she knew that Chu Youwei's arrangement must be a decision made after careful consideration. Just like the two arrangements for her and Liao Minmin before, they were both suitable for them.
Chu Youwei looked at Yu Ziang's depressed and aggrieved look, and further said: "If you successfully enter the villa, in the first year of practicing as new disciples, you will be exposed to and learn more than a hundred various spiritual dishes, among which you will
Among the eighteen spiritual dishes that I have mastered, one of them is mainly toad."
"These are just the most basic spiritual dishes. In the villa, there are a total of twenty or thirty spiritual dishes involving toads. If you practice more deeply, you will encounter more."
"You can escape once, twice, or even more, but as a disciple of Tianchu Villa, if word spreads that you can't even deal with a small toad, it will inevitably make you laugh."
Yu Ziang's face showed hesitation and emotion, but he still couldn't help but feel scared in his heart.
"Is it okay?" Liao Minmin comforted her softly from the side: "While we haven't started looking for the Three-Eyed Golden Toad yet, there is still time to adjust our mentality."
Chu Youwei said ruthlessly: "There should be a three-eyed golden toad not far from here."
Liao Minmin was startled.
Yu Ziang's heart skipped a beat, and his nervous palms became sweaty.
Tang Youcai asked curiously: "Sister Chu, how did you know that there was a three-eyed golden toad nearby? It seems that you didn't hear any movement?"
"It's not based on the sounds," Chu Youwei explained: "Everything and everything that exists has a certain connection with each other. From the mountains and jungles here to the entire world and nature, they are all inseparable from this principle;"
"Similarly, if there is an environment where red-tailed ginseng grows, there will always be red-tailed scorpions; there will always be jade green bees next to the Yujin jujube tree."
Tang Youcai was surprised and wondered: "Could it be that the three-eyed golden toad and the Yujin jujube tree also have a symbiotic and complementary relationship?"
Chu Youwei shook his head: "That's not the case. The person related to the Three-Eyed Golden Toad is the Jade Green Bee;"
Everyone was just confused.
Chu Youwei explained: "The three-eyed golden toad's habits are like insects. In this mountain range, they like to eat jade green bees the most." Liao Minmin seized the opportunity and said: "That's it, this three-eyed golden toad
It can also be regarded as a good soul beast that 'removes harm for the people', can we not capture it?"
Chu Youwei chuckled: "Although it can control and avoid the number of Jade Green Bees to a certain extent, if it is left unchecked, once it breeds, it will be a great disaster for the trees in this world."
"The Three-Eyed Golden Toad contains highly toxic substances, and the mucus it secretes will cause the trees to undergo pathological decay, making it difficult for them to grow better."
"That's why we set up an assessment to capture the three-eyed golden toad to control its number within a reasonable range."
Liao Minmin sighed helplessly after hearing this, and persuaded Yu Ziang who was standing next to him: "Would you feel better if you regard these three-eyed golden toads as the poultry raised by Tianchu Villa?"
Yu Ziang smiled miserably and shook his head bitterly, "I'll try my best."
For now, that's all that can be done.
Since Chu Youwei meant what he said, if he continues to stubbornly reject and resist, he may really be eliminated from the assessment.
But, can I really overcome the fear in my heart?
While Yu Ziang was feeling uneasy, he thought about the previous experiences of Liao Minmin and Liao Minmin, and asked with concern: "Senior Sister Chu, what's so good about catching the three-eyed golden toad?"
Any idea?"
If there were easy ways to deal with it, his psychological pressure might be reduced.
Chu Youwei said bluntly: "There is no shortcut! However, the Three-Eyed Golden Toad generally does not take the initiative to show aggression towards creatures larger than itself. You only need to step forward and capture it. If you encounter an adult,
If you have a three-eyed golden toad, you can cover the third eye on its back, and it will not hurt you again."
Seeing the hesitation on Yu Ziang's face, Chu Youwei urged: "Do you want to give up? If you give up, the way back is at the rear."
She knew that at this time, Yu Ziang had to be agitated, otherwise he would never be able to make a decision.
"I..." Just when Yu Ziang hesitated and was about to speak.
Tang Youfu said from behind him: "Brother Yu, if you are really afraid, just shoot the toad to death with a bow and arrow from a distance, nail it to the arrow feathers, and then go back and bring it back with the arrow feathers."
"No," Chu Youwei glared at Tang Youfu in displeasure and said clearly: "We won't be returning for a while, we must capture them alive."
"The three-eyed golden toad is not an ordinary beast. If it is hunted on the spot, it will not spoil within a few days, but it will greatly affect the quality of its meat, and even add a sour taste, affecting the taste of the entire spiritual dish."
Tang Youcai said quickly: "Senior Sister Chu is saying that my brother is used to hunting and thinks about killing animals at every turn. I have lectured him many times."
Tang Youfu lowered his head angrily. Although he realized that his previous words were a bit reckless, he did not feel at all inappropriate about his murderous intention.
In his opinion, the three-eyed golden toad and other beasts are just food to satisfy people's hunger. Their taste is just that, catching and killing them is not much different from hunting them on the spot.
Yu Ziang hesitated for a long time, and finally, with the encouragement of Liao Minmin, he accepted the assessment.
Chu Youwei patiently explained the methods of finding the Three-Eyed Golden Toad.
Under the leadership of Yu Ziang, everyone walked along the mountain wall to a nearby forest.
The vegetation in the woods is not very lush, and large tracts of sunlight shine on the earth, reflecting the reflections of the leaves.
Yu Ziang bent over and carefully looked at the big trees he passed, checking for any traces of mucus left by the three-eyed golden toad. 'Quick~'
A croaking sound suddenly came from far and near.
Yu Ziang's heart couldn't help but tighten, he looked solemnly towards the southeast corner ahead, and raised his head slightly.
I saw a palm-sized, frog-like toad attached to the trunk of a big tree not far away, but its whole body was red.
The toad's back was covered with large and small blood-red bumps, and from the gaps between these bumps, streams of disgusting mucus that looked like blood flowed.
Yu Ziang suppressed the trembling in his heart and boldly stepped closer.
As I got closer, I couldn't help but wonder, 'It's on the tree, how do I get up there?'
'I can't climb trees.'
'And this tree is so thick that it doesn't allow me to get behind it.'
In the midst of surprise, Chu Youwei suddenly heard a somewhat urgent voice, "Come back quickly, this thing is not the three-eyed golden toad you are looking for."
Chu Youwei was also startled for a moment by the creature that suddenly appeared on the treetops. In addition, due to the inexperience of the leader, she did not immediately stop Yu Ziang who came forward stupidly.
"Ancient Flame Toad!"
Lu Feng revealed the name of the strange creature in front of him.
He was no stranger to such a soul beast. He had only seen it from the hands of the people at Bone Toad Manor some time ago. It was a 'prop' to assist them in their cultivation. However, he did not expect to see a wild Ancient Flame Toad here.
Yu Ziang was nervous and frightened, "Senior Sister Chu, what should I do?"
Chu Youwei warned: "Controll your breath, move back carefully, and be careful not to disturb it."
Although the Ancient Flame Toad we met in front of us only exuded the aura at the Spirit Gathering Realm level, which was worse than Yu Ziang at the Condensing Pill Realm, but given Yu Ziang's current state of mind, he might not be able to withstand a surprise attack.
.
Furthermore, with the 'self-destruction' characteristic of the Ancient Flame Toad, even if it resists its venom attack, it will be useless. Instead, it will be further angered, causing it to angrily explode the poisonous pimples on its back that have been accumulated for a long time, and emit rain like rain.
The poisonous slime offensive.
If he unexpectedly encounters an attack that is tantamount to death, let alone Yu Ziang of the Condensing Pill Realm, even Fang Ya of the Condensing Pan Realm will not be able to escape easily.
Yu Ziang carefully dragged his stiff legs and moved slowly in the direction of Chu Youwei, and finally met Liao Minmin who was coming from behind without any danger.
The moment I held Liao Minmin's hand, my anxious heart finally calmed down.
"Senior Sister Chu, what should we do now?"
While Liao Minmin took Yu Ziang back, she asked Chu Youwei's instructions in a low voice, as if she was frightened.
Although she has not been afraid of strange creatures like toads since she was a child due to her protection of Yu Ziang, her girlish nature still makes her somewhat disgusted and disgusted with toads.
Thinking of leaving as soon as possible.
Chu Youwei looked at the ancient flame toad on the tree trunk with vigilance, and said solemnly: "Don't act rashly, just wait and see for a while."
Although the Ancient Flame Toad is not very common, Chu Youwei still knows a little about its habits. Although it is less docile than the Three-Eyed Golden Toad, it is not a creature that attacks easily.
However, it is very hostile to those uninvited guests who rush into its territory.
What Chu Youwei was waiting to see at this moment was exactly how angry the Ancient Flame Toad was, and whether it would subside because they broke in unintentionally and evacuated on their own initiative.
