Chapter Fifty-One: A Life Hanging by a Thread

  The valley was shrouded in a chilling cold, and it was unknown when it had been enveloped by a thin layer of white mist.

  Around the thousand-year-old ice toad, the fog was even more intense. Under the cover of that thick fog, the white crystal shadow of the ice toad appeared and disappeared.

  "Kill!" Qin Ling'er stared intently at the shadow of the ice frog in the white mist, a low growl escaping her lips.

  Qin Ling'er's fists were tightly clenched, and her face, which always wore a smile, was now as cold as frost.

  Zhuang Luo Chen, Hong Fei and others surrounded the ice toad in a circle, vigilantly staring at it. Everyone had stored up their strength, but the ice toad didn't move, and it seemed they wouldn't make the first move either.

  The tongue of the ice toad had already retracted, but there were still a few strands of blood hanging from the corner of its mouth. At this moment, the entire body of the ice toad had swollen to the size of a round table, and its pale skin was covered with numerous fist-sized white crystal-like protrusions. It crouched quietly, motionless, and if not for its large, ferocious eyes that kept rotating, it could have been mistaken for an inanimate object.

  After a thousand years, the Ice Toad will produce spiritual intelligence. As its age increases, its spiritual intelligence will become stronger and stronger. The Ice Toad's spiritual intelligence is obviously not low, as it seems to have sensed that as long as it moves, everyone's attacks will be directed at it.

  Both sides stood there like this, neither of them willing to make the first move.

  "No, absolutely can't go on like this. Although that Ice Toad has been injured, even so, with our party's endurance, we can't compare to it at all. Moreover, in this mountain valley, Brother Zhuang and Brother Hong still need to cultivate their internal energy to resist the cold air's invasion! However, looking at them now, Brother Zhuang and Brother Hong seem unwilling to make the first move either... what should be done?" Ling Luoye thought to himself as he looked around.

  "Alas! I never thought Brother Mu would meet his end like this! If only we had listened to Brother Mu's words and waited for Chen Kong to descend the third layer together, Brother Mu wouldn't have ended up like this!" Ling Luoye couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow as he gazed at Mu Yi's lifeless body in the distance.

  Missing Mu Yi, Ling Luo's feathers shone brightly before his eyes.

  "Not bad, since this ice toad already has a few points of spiritual intelligence, it must be able to recognize its own things!" Thinking of this, Ling Luoyu's eyes swept several times and finally stopped on the broken small half of the tongue, although it was only a small half, but also had more than ten inches long.

  Slowly getting up, Ling Luo stepped forward a few steps, walked to the vicinity of the fallen tongue, gently picked up the small half-tongue with Mu Yi's knife, and slowly sat down at a distance from the ice toad. He took Mu Yi's knife and began to cut it slowly, one knife at a time.

  Ling Luo Yu's movements were very slow, and the ice toad's tongue was extremely flexible. Although it had already left the ice toad's body and no longer had the ice toad's power to support it, it was still exceptionally flexible. Even with Mu Yi's sharp knife, cutting it was a laborious task.

  Of course, Ling Luoyu's movements were all caught in the eyes of that ice toad, which was not far in front of it and couldn't help but look.

  Bing Chan's gaze was fixed on Ling Luo Yu, his eyes seemed to be about to bleed with anger, anyone could see the fury in his eyes, and this situation would make anyone furious.

  "Quack..."

  A loud, violent cry, the Ice Toad suddenly leapt into the air, its mouth wide open, and the swirling white mist around it surged towards its maw. In that instant, the Ice Toad's body was already covered in a suit of armor made of glittering ice crystals.

  "Hmm...hmm...hmm..."

  "Clang...... Clang...... Clang......"

  Almost at the same time, Zhuang Luo Chen, Hong Fei and more than a dozen others made their move, knives, swords and a large number of hidden weapons struck towards Bing Chan, but were all blocked by that icy armor. Various weapons came into contact with the icy armor, emitting the sound of metal clashing.

  That ice armor casually condensed by the ice crab unexpectedly had such power, apparently, this also greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. However, after all, it was more than a dozen people against one, although that ice armor was indestructible, under the repeated attacks of the crowd, it quickly faced the brink of shattering. With Hong Fei's final knife falling, the ice armor finally reached its limit, turning into shards of ice and drifting down.

  In the face of a group of people's attack, Bing Chan didn't care at all. At this moment, there was only one enemy in his eyes, and that was Ling Luo Yu.

  Taking advantage of everyone's attacking momentum, Bing Chan's speed suddenly increased by more than double, and in the blink of an eye, he was already above Ling Luo Yu's head.

  "Not good! Young Master Ling is in danger!" Han Xiao shouted loudly and flew towards the direction where Ling Luoyu was, at this moment Han Xiao had also used up all his strength, seeing Ling Luoyu in danger, he too went all out.

  Zhuang Luo Chen, Hong Fei, Qin Ling'er and others quickly followed suit.

  "Bang...... Bang...... Bang......"

  The sound kept ringing out, and the white blisters on the ice toad's body suddenly burst one after another, releasing a surge of icy cold air that formed a large net, tightly wrapping Ling Luoye inside. Moreover, several cold air masses took shape as white arrows, rapidly shooting towards the few people who were closely following behind.

  "Brother Ling!"

  "Brother Ling!"

  A few mournful cries echoed out, and under such a chilling atmosphere, Ling Luo Yu had nowhere to escape.

  The power of the cold air emitted by that ice toad was so great that they also had a number in their hearts. In terms of strength, Zhang Ba was not inferior to anyone here, but he was still frozen into an ice sculpture by the cold air of that ice toad.

  As for Ling Luo Yu's body, they were roughly clear. The cold air that even Zhang Bao could easily kill surrounded Ling Luo Yu, how could he be spared?

  Although the area was shrouded in thick fog due to the cold air, blocking several people's line of sight, they all believed that Ling Luoye was doomed to die.

  "Ling Gongzi! I'll risk my life to take down this beast!" Having dodged the icy arrow's attack, Han Xiang and Qin Ling'er exchanged a glance, nodded slightly in unison, and then pounced on the ice toad.
