In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

In the mist inside the crater, a red fox larger than a tiger stretched out its nose and sniffed something.

Suddenly, the fog not far in front of it suddenly rolled up.

Not long after, a figure wearing dark golden soft armor appeared in front of it. A ferocious look flashed in his red eyes, and he opened his mouth and spit out several fireballs.

The red fire fox is a first-level high-level monster, known for its intelligence and speed.

Its fireball is nearly twice as large as the ordinary fireball technique, and its speed is also faster, and it attacks the incoming person from several directions.

Even monks at the peak of Qi Refining wouldn't dare to take such an attack head on, and would just run away.

But the person who came didn't want to hide. He even pulled out the golden whip from behind and rushed over.

boom!

Several fireballs hit the target almost at the same time and exploded, causing the surrounding fog to roll continuously.

The red fire fox's eyes showed a human-like look of pride at first, but it soon turned into shock.

The opponent only paused under its attack without any damage.

Realizing that something was wrong, the red fire fox immediately turned around and turned into an afterimage and got into the mist behind him.

But before it flew far, a golden whip arrived first, disrupting the white mist above its head, and smashed down with great speed, smashing its huge head to pieces.

"The red fire fox is a fire-based monster. Its skin can resist at most elementary and mid-level ice spells. I think it can be used to resist the attacks of the ice toad. It should have some effect."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself, put away the golden whip, took out a sparkling dagger, and peeled off the red fire fox's skin. After trimming it casually, it was made into a cloak and draped on the outside of the mortal calamity soft armor.

Counting the time, it was already the morning of the second day.

Even with the assistance of the Golden Eyes, he could only see clearly the surrounding environment of a few dozen feet. Lu Yuan spent the whole night and was not far away from the valley where the Ice Toad was.

Along the way, Lu Yuan killed many monsters. From the very beginning to the lower level, then to the middle level, there is even one at the top level.

Through a series of battles, Lu not only tested the defense of the Mortal Tribulation Soft Armor against the Five Elements spell attacks, but also summed up a set of his own fighting methods.

That is to use the Golden Divine Eyes to lock the position of the monster in advance, and after closing the distance to within five feet, use Luo Yanbu to attack at close range.

The texture of the golden whip is no less than that of the top-level magic weapon. Even the head of a top-level monster is as fragile as a watermelon.

Even if a high-level monster like the Red Fire Fox detects it in advance, the worst possible outcome is to use the mortal calamity soft armor to resist the monster's spell attack, and then hit the head again.

This trick has always worked, except for two wind-type monsters that relied on their speed to escape. The remaining monsters had their brains ripped out by Lu Yuan.

Of course, there are so many types of monsters in the crater, and the farther you go in, the more complicated it becomes. For example, those flying monsters would spread their wings and fly high if something went wrong, leaving him, an infantryman, with nothing to do.

Of course, Lu Yuan was not unlucky. Once he knocked a top-level ice and fire wolf on the head. Unexpectedly, this ice and fire wolf was a social monster. Before he could escape, he was surrounded by dozens of ice and fire wolves. Thanks to the high defense of the mortal calamity soft armor, he was able to escape by pretending to be dead after being ravaged by the two heavens of ice and fire for nearly half an hour.

From then on, Lu Yuan became more careful. As long as it was a group of monsters, even the lowest level black rock ants, he would stay away.

Fortunately, there was only one mutated ice toad, otherwise he would really be confused.

Lu Yuan sighed with emotion as he hurried on, and unknowingly, he had arrived at the valley.

Perhaps because of the Ice Toad, the entire valley was extremely silent. Even on the outskirts, it was so desolate that not even a root of grass grew.

Lu Yuan did not dare to be too bold and cautiously groped his way deeper into the valley.

The further he walked in, the more frightened Lu Yuan became. Not far after entering, I discovered the corpses of seven or eight monster beasts.

Although they were all low-level monsters, Lu Yuan found after inspection that these monsters were stiff all over, without any wounds, and they all died instantly.

Some of them had obviously been dead for many years, but there were no signs of decay.

Lu Yuan thought of something and dug open the corpses of several monster beasts, only to find that the blood inside had already frozen into ice.

It was already very cold in the valley, but I couldn't feel it because of my mortal calamity soft armor.

After about a few dozen feet, Lu Yuan began to feel cold, especially in his eyes. The cold air had penetrated through the light curtain in front of him, stinging his eye sockets.

Lu Yuan increased his mana and condensed the light curtain in front of him thicker, thus withstanding the erosion of the cold air. At the same time, he wrapped the red fire fox cloak tightly around his body and continued to move forward.

At this time, the scenery in the valley also changed, except for the corpses of monsters. Many white and hairy grasses grew in the crevices of the rocks. This grass has a stem with five leaves. It is white all over and exudes a faint white air. It seems to be shrouded in smoke. It really looks like a spiritual root.

"It's cold tobacco. This is a rare herb with extremely wide uses. If possible, we still have to collect it as much as possible. You can hand it over to the door in exchange for a certain reward!" Lu Yuan murmured softly, but was not in a hurry to pick it. At the moment, it is important to confirm the location of the Ice Toad.

As we go deeper, the number of corpses of monsters increases, from the middle level to the top level.

The one at the front was a red fire fox, nearly half the size of the one Lu Yuan killed. It had surpassed the first-level monster and was almost entering the second level. Its strength was comparable to that of a foundation-building monk.

Even so, it still turned into an ice sculpture at this time and could not move forward one step further.

It seemed that it was not far away, so Lu Yuan calmed down.

Under the influence of the Golden Eyes, a black outline the size of a millstone appeared deep in the valley.

Is it a cave?

According to Brother Ma, that ice toad is a mutated monster. The normal Ice Toad is a first-level lower-level monster with a docile temperament. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke it, there will be no danger. But this one was different. It was already at the early stage of Level 2. It was about the size of a goat, so such a big hole was reasonable.

Lu Yuan was just about to take action when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why does this hole feel like it's moving?

Still having ups and downs?

Lu Yuan exerted the power of the Golden Eyes to the limit, and after carefully advancing for more than ten feet, he finally saw the full black outline.

What kind of cave is this?

It turned out to be a huge toad!

Ice Toad!

At this time, it was curled up into a ball, its eyes closed tightly, and it was sleeping soundly and sweetly.

The skin all over the body is like rock, making it look extraordinary. And with each exhalation and inhalation, cold air as thick as the mouth of a bowl shoots out from the nostrils from time to time, which adds to the mysterious color.

The most speechless thing was that the toad's curled-up hind limbs were as thick as elephant legs, which made Lu Yuan swallow and spit.

No wonder even the Red Fire Fox, whose strength was comparable to the early stage of foundation building, was destroyed. This guy was much more terrifying than the legend said.

Brother Ma, your information is wrong!
