Capítulo 1601: Chapter 1572: The Cloud-Swallowing Toad’s Apology and Compensation
The Cloud-Swallowing Toad is currently very troubled.
Extrely troubled, to be precise.
It knows that damn stone man has been coming to harass him nearly every few years recently. The issue arose because he damaged its sister’s essence long ago, leaving her unrecovered all these years.
Similarly, this damn stone relies on its astonishing innate defense to trouble him every ti, making the toad feel exceedingly annoyed. And this guy is insanely tough; he just won’t die when attacked, leaving the Cloud-Swallowing Toad trendously irritated for the last century.
Even when it manages to wound him terribly and drive him away, the toad itself is nearly exhausted.
Then, after a few years, this guy cos back as lively as ever, making trouble again.
To avoid this guy, the Cloud-Swallowing Toad has even changed its dwelling several tis, but this relentless fellow still finds him, driving it nearly mad.
This ti, it originally planned to drive the fellow away and imdiately relocate to another level, but unexpectedly, a few other guys popped out to create chaos, so in its frustrated state, the Cloud-Swallowing Toad just casually brushed them off.
But even it didn’t expect that this casual sweep would bring about such a significant trouble.
Sister!
Again with the sister!
The ntion of this word now leaves the Cloud-Swallowing Toad feeling a bit creeped out.
It has been harassed by this damn stone for nearly a hundred years due to ‘sister,’ and now soone else appears, again for the sake of a sister.
Among those at the Fifth Rank, the Cloud-Swallowing Toad is indeed alike to a ‘hobody,’ rarely stepping out and about the ti the Mountain Ridge Giant’s sister got hurt, it was because a treasure randomly appeared near its ho.
How could it, a hobody, miss such an opportunity, right?
After the big fight, it got the treasure, but also severely injured a few competing opponents.
As a result, that damn stone appeared.
Staring at Li Chen, the Cloud-Swallowing Toad could see that Li Chen’s power was still far behind its own. However, that big monkey was clearly brought as a helper by this guy. It already finds one troubling stone vexing, and if another is added…
The Cloud-Swallowing Toad dared not think further.
“Um…” The Cloud-Swallowing Toad’s voice was sowhat dry, speaking reluctantly: “Could I apologize? It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have hurt both of your sisters. I’m just a small frog, surely you grown-ups could spare …..”
Li Chen opened his mouth wide, sowhat dumbfounded at the pathetic, bloody-mouthed toad before him. The image of an Expert of Heavenly King Level crumbled dramatically in his mind.
Are Heavenly Kings not all supposed to be proud, powerful, and confident?
How did this toad beco like this…
Could he know his own strength?
Li Chen didn’t know the pitiful story of the poor toad; if he did, he might understand better.
This toad is genuinely afraid.
Having just a single Mountain Ridge Giant tornting it was unbearable enough, but adding that terrifying monkey, the Cloud-Swallowing Toad didn’t know how it would survive the coming days.
With these two joining forces, one has strong defense while the other has terrifying attack power.
Even if they can’t kill it, they could certainly seriously injure it, and having this happen every few years, who could bear that?
Naturally, the Cloud-Swallowing Toad didn’t know that Li Chen was ready to leave the Nether River Space imdiately.
Seeing none of the few present say anything, the Cloud-Swallowing Toad had to speak again: “Or maybe, you can beat up once, and then don’t co to trouble anymore, alright? I beg of you; if necessary, I can compensate too.”
A demon beast of Heavenly King Level, and a fifth-rank Heavenly King at that, speaking so humbly; to be honest, so concept in Li Chen’s mind was overturned once more.
“I want that Molten Heart!” At this mont, the Mountain Ridge Giant, who looked clumsy and silly, was the first to speak.
The Cloud-Swallowing Toad imdiately felt played. Could it be this guy had been harassing him for over a hundred years, not for revenge, but for the Molten Heart his sister didn’t get back then?
Li Chen’s eyes opened wide again. The Mountain Ridge Giant seed simple-minded, yet reacted quicker than he did in that mont.
Indeed, none of these long-lived creatures are simple.
At that mont, Bai Shi also recovered his shape, coming beside Li Chen.
That earlier swing also allowed him to test the Cloud-Swallowing Toad’s strength.
That was his strongest strike, but looking at it, it hadn’t severely injured the toad, making Bai Shi realize that he was still quite a bit weaker than the toad, so he didn’t speak and began to reflect on it.
Seeing Bai Shi arrive by Li Chen’s side, the Cloud-Swallowing Toad wasn’t surprised at all, as expected, this monkey was indeed brought as support by this fellow.
“My sister’s injuries are not light, I want a protective treasure. Of course, if it’s sothing lower-ranked than the Molten Heart, don’t bother showing it and just let us beat you as well.” Li Chen said directly.
The Cloud-Swallowing Toad’s eye twitched; this damned weak creature has so nerve—demanding items of the sa rank as the Molten Heart right off the bat.
However, the Cloud-Swallowing Toad’s montum had waned, entirely adopting a conciliatory attitude; it really was a bit scared.
In the end, it painfully coughed up a misty white bead.
“This is a Cloud Mist Bead condensed from my millennium of cultivation, containing the power of my innate divine abilities,” the Cloud-Swallowing Toad said, pained, “No one below the Fifth Rank can break its defense; even Fifth Rank beings can’t breach it in a short ti when activated. Is this enough compensation?”
Li Chen was thrilled internally, but maintained an impassive deanor as he said, “It’s good enough.”
Li Chen didn’t particularly covet the Cloud Mist Bead; he already possessed a Supre Treasure, which, at critical monts, was much more reliable than this bead. But regardless, it’s definitely a great item, and giving it to Li Youxue would greatly enhance her survival abilities.
Li Chen had considered simply killing the Cloud-Swallowing Toad to snatch all its things, but after hearing Bai Shi’s sound transmission, he realized that killing this toad wouldn’t be simple; pushing the creature too far might lead it to an all-out fight, which would be a lose-lose scenario.
“Alright, you’ve got the stuff, just stop troubling in the future, or don’t bla for fighting to the death!” The Cloud-Swallowing Toad said with so resentnt, then opened a space gate, teleporting away.
The wounded Mountain Ridge Giant, however, seed in notably good spirits, laughing as he approached Li Chen and Bai Shi: “Friends, thank you so much this ti. Finally got that stinky toad to submit! Hahaha!”
Li Chen had a peculiar expression, feeling this seemingly simple-minded giant had a bit of… slyness in his laugh.
