After an unknown amount of time, Su Luo slowly opened his eyes.
Strange energy swirled around him. Su Luo tried to sense it, but gained nothing.
Clearly, this was a higher-tier energy. With his current strength, he was still unable to comprehend it.
Lowering his head toward the glass bottle, he saw the third eye between his brows in its reflection.
This eye was no different from an ordinary eye.
Only its pupil differed somewhat. The pupils of normal eyes were either brown or black.
But this eye's pupil was black and gold.
At first glance, it looked pure black, yet wisps of golden light radiated from it.
"Pretty cool!" The corners of Su Luo's mouth lifted as he praised it sincerely.
Just then.
The little bug Su Tong's voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
"Su Luo, this eye is far more than just cool."
"Oh? You know what this eye does? Tell me, quick!" Su Luo asked impatiently.
"When this eye is opened, the unknown energy it emits can render energy attacks ineffective."
"In other words, as long as an opponent releases any energy attack at you, it will become ineffective the moment it hits you. You will enter a state of absolute invincibility."
Su Tong's few words made Su Luo suck in a cold breath.
"What an absurdly powerful effect! Doesn't that mean I'm invincible whenever I face an opponent who uses energy attacks?" Su Luo widened his eyes and muttered.
Su Tong pondered for a moment before speaking.
"In principle, that is indeed the case. But once you open this eye, your stamina will drain rapidly, greatly increasing the stamina you consume in battle."
"When your stamina is insufficient, this eye will automatically close."
"So unless it is a critical moment, it is best not to use this eye casually."
Su Luo had indeed already felt the side effect of his stamina draining drastically.
From the moment he had opened the eye until now, in such a short span of time, he had already begun to feel slightly fatigued.
Though it did not have much impact, it was still better to open it as little as possible.
With a thought, the eye between his brows instantly shut tightly, leaving behind only a tiny slit.
Unless someone came close and looked carefully, they would not be able to tell.
He raised a hand and touched the slit between his brows, but felt nothing unusual.
Looking at his reflection in the glass jar, he had returned to his previous appearance.
"Not bad, not bad. Its concealment is truly impeccable. It can serve as a trump card."
Just as Su Luo was chatting idly with Su Tong.
A sudden shout came from outside.
"Ah! A snake!"
Su Luo's expression instantly turned grave. He immediately stood up and, at the same time, set up a shield around himself that repelled rainwater.
The rain bounced away the instant it fell upon him, not a single drop touching his body.
He rushed out of the tent, and the sight before him became something Su Luo would never forget for the rest of his life.
Blue-and-green toad beasts, each three to four meters tall, were hopping out of the lake and charging toward the shore. Their target was clearly the four of them.
Coming back to his senses, he looked toward the three sisters.
Shen Huaiyu stood timidly behind Liu Yunyi and Shen Huaiyue.
A long severed tongue and the corpse of a toad beast lay nearby. It appeared to have just been killed.
The moment the three women saw Su Luo emerge, they immediately found their backbone.
"Su Luo!"
Su Luo strode in front of the three women and looked at their pale faces.
The icy rain could lower their body temperatures, which was extremely unfavorable for them.
With a wave of his hand, Su Luo flicked away the rainwater soaking them and also placed rainproof shields around the three women.
Their previously drenched clothes instantly became dry, and their body temperatures gradually began to rise again.
Feeling this, a flash of delight could not help appearing on their faces.
"Does anyone know anything about these toad beasts?" Su Luo asked softly as he stood before them.
"These toad beasts are called Rain-Calling Toads. As their name suggests, their race possesses the ability to call rain. This downpour must be their handiwork," Shen Huaiyue answered.
Su Luo nodded after hearing this, then carefully examined the Rain-Calling Toads.
He discovered that they were all Tier 1 Beasts. There was not even a single Tier 2 Beast among them. They simply were not worth hunting.
"Tsk, they're all Tier 1 Beasts. They really don't stir up any interest," Su Luo said, shaking his head in disappointment.
"The Ability Users inside these tents could never have been killed by Tier 1 Beasts. There must be something bigger behind them—it simply hasn't shown itself yet," Shen Huaiyue said seriously.
"I'll go first! Once I deal with these nuisances, the big one behind them will definitely appear. Huaiyu, watch my condition." As soon as Liu Yunyi finished speaking, she drew the sword at her waist and charged forward in a single swift stride.
Against Tier 1 Beasts, Liu Yunyi could essentially kill one with every slash. In the rain, she swung her sword—slashing, thrusting, lifting, chopping—killing to her heart's content.
With the rainproof shield Su Luo had placed around her, she did not need to worry about getting her clothes wet.
Seeing Liu Yunyi enjoying the slaughter so much, Shen Huaiyue was tempted as well. She leaped into the air and unleashed a Raging Wind Tornado.
The tornado swept up rainwater, transforming into a massive waterspout.
Sharp wind blades swirled within the waterspout, drawing Rain-Calling Toads into it one after another and instantly tearing them to pieces.
Shen Huaiyu focused completely on her two sisters, occasionally casting a Stamina Recovery Technique on them.
Su Luo quietly watched the three women cooperate and nodded to himself.
Their coordination was truly seamless, as though they had been born from the same mother.
Before long, the shore was splattered with the foul-smelling blood of Tier 1 Rain-Calling Toads.
The Tier 1 Rain-Calling Toads that had surfaced in the lake and intended to come ashore smelled the dense scent of their kind's blood.
Seeing how ferocious the people on shore were, they began to retreat, sinking back into the water and vanishing from sight.
Although the Rain-Calling Toads had halted their offensive, everyone knew that the real show was only beginning.
Sure enough.
Not long afterward, a group of much larger Rain-Calling Toads surfaced from the lake.
Clearly, this group consisted of Tier 2 and Tier 3 Rain-Calling Toads.
As this group surfaced, the already heavy rain intensified considerably.
But no matter how heavy the rain became, it had nothing to do with them. No amount of rain could touch them.
Trying to use the rain's power to drain human body heat and stamina—this move would not work on them.
After this group of Rain-Calling Toads rose from the water, they did not act rashly.
Instead, they opened their huge mouths and shot their long tongues toward the group, seemingly intending to drag them down into their home field.
Purple light flashed in Su Luo's eyes. Raising his head, he brought down a field of Tenfold Gravity upon the Rain-Calling Toads.
The Rain-Calling Toads' outstretched tongues suddenly stopped in midair, then rapidly fell to the ground, unable to move any longer.
