Seeing this, the Rain-Calling Toads tried to retract their tongues, but the tongues did not budge, as though they no longer belonged to them.
Liu Yunyi and Shen Huaiyue exchanged a glance, then launched attacks at those immobile tongues.
Liu Yunyi swung her sword while Shen Huaiyue released wind blades.
Hiss! Hiss!
Dozens of mucus-covered tongues were forcibly severed in two, blood splattering everywhere.
With their tongues cut off, the Rain-Calling Toads suffered massive blood loss and excruciating pain.
The entire batch of Rain-Calling Toads flipped belly-up, floating on the lake as if asleep.
Shen Huaiyue and Liu Yunyi panted heavily, clearly having expended a great deal.
Seeing this, Shen Huaiyu hurriedly added a Stamina Recovery Technique.
The Rain-Calling Toads' blood flowed into the lake, as if awakening something.
Gradually, the lake surface began to churn, waves rising across it like the sea.
Seeing this, Su Luo's gaze immediately sharpened.
"The big one's coming! Huaiyue, Yunyi, fall back!"
The two hurriedly retreated upon hearing this, but they were still one step too late.
Several thick, long tongues suddenly shot out from the lake, sticking to their backs and dragging them backward.
"Million Gravity!" Su Luo raised his hand and released a Gravity Field over the lake.
The immense gravity was like a bomb, crashing down with a boom and pressing a massive crater into the lake surface.
Before long, a vast patch of bloody water appeared in the lake.
The sheer amount of blood darkened even the nearby waters.
At the same time, the tongues stuck to Shen Huaiyue and Liu Yunyi's backs went limp and slack.
During those few seconds of being dragged away, Shen Huaiyue and Liu Yunyi had already imagined their fate: drowning in agony before being devoured by the Rain-Calling Toads.
The two looked at each other and both smiled in relief at having escaped death.
Then, they rose to their feet at the same time, rushed to Su Luo's side, and thanked him.
"No need to be polite with me. Stay sharp," Su Luo said coldly.
The four formed up, their eyes fixed on the lake.
Just then.
A massive vortex suddenly appeared on the lake surface, with an enormous black shadow at its center.
Gradually, the shadow rose from the vortex.
It was a Rain-Calling Toad King whose head alone spanned ten meters.
Its color was also different from the previous Rain-Calling Toads, having changed from blue-green to pure blue.
Judging by the fluctuations of its life force, it was actually a Tier 6 Beast.
Clearly, it was the true master of this great lake.
The Tier 6 Toad King stared at the four people on the shore with its enormous eyes.
It extended its tongue, saliva dripping into the lake. It looked as though it could not wait to feast on the four of them.
The dangerous aura radiating from the Tier 6 Toad King made all three sisters tremble from head to toe.
After all, this monster was three major realms above them. Such a reaction was perfectly normal.
As Su Luo looked at the Toad King, his expression finally turned serious.
When he fought that Tier 5 Ape King, he had defeated it virtually unscathed.
Although he had bled, he could instantly heal himself with Phoenix azure flames. Overall, he could still be considered unharmed.
This Tier 6 Toad King had once again piqued his interest.
A Tier 6 Beast was a full two major realms above him. He wondered whether he could still defeat it.
"You three, fall back. I'm going to have a fight with it!" Confidence gleamed in Su Luo's eyes as he spoke to the three beside him.
"Huh? Su Luo, don't be rash! It's a full two major realms above you!" Shen Huaiyue turned toward the confident Su Luo and said anxiously.
"Brother Su Luo, calm down. This isn't a Level 5 Exotic Beast, it's a Tier 6 Beast! Think this through. Fighting it isn't exactly rational, is it?" Shen Huaiyu also urged him with an anxious expression.
"That's right, Su Luo. In our current situation, it would be safer to use the spatial ring and escape back to school," Liu Yunyi said, clearly disagreeing with Su Luo's decision as well.
Su Luo shook his head and said in an utterly confident tone, "Believe me. I won't lose!"
Then Su Luo stepped forward to the lakeshore.
Looking at the colossal creature before him, he revealed a provocative smile.
Seeing such a tiny human dare to openly provoke it, the Tier 6 Toad King flew into a rage and immediately threw back its head with an earth-shaking roar.
As the Toad King let out that roar, the sky suddenly darkened.
The rain gradually changed from transparent to murky, looking deeply unpleasant.
When the murky rain fell upon the nearby trees, their leaves immediately withered. Clearly, the rain had become poisonous.
The Toad King lowered its head to look at the four people on the shore and found that, despite being drenched by its poisonous rain, they were completely unaffected. This made it even more furious.
Seeing this, the three sisters knew they could not stop Su Luo, so they immediately retreated and left him room.
The Toad King raised the upper half of its body out of the lake. Its colossal size sent waves surging across the water, flooding the entire shore.
Su Luo spread his wings and soared into the air, arriving before the Toad King as he said arrogantly:
"Big toad! If you don't want to die, take this battle seriously!"
The Toad King was now thoroughly enraged. With a thought, the lake water beneath it transformed into several hundred thick water dragons that shot straight toward Su Luo in the sky.
Looking at the dense attacks coming from every direction, a hint of disdain appeared in Su Luo's eyes.
With a sweep of his hand, the entire area was instantly enveloped by the Million Gravity Field.
The streams of water originally attacking Su Luo could not fly up at all under the effects of gravity. They could only turn into masses of water halfway through and fall back into the lake.
Feeling the gravity pressing down on its body, the Toad King's eyes still revealed a trace of shock, even though it had not suffered any major damage.
Although Tier 6 Beasts did not possess extraordinary intelligence like Level 7 Exotic Beasts, nor could they speak human language.
They had already gained a preliminary understanding of the world's Power Law.
Looking at the weak human before it, the Toad King found that he had actually mastered gravity, such a rare power. It truly made it unhappy.
It immediately opened its enormous mouth and spat out a blue pearl.
Looking at the blue pearl and sensing the vast water energy contained within it, Su Luo could not help but feel somewhat shocked.
What the hell is this?
Can't beat me, so you're using cheats now?
Just then.
The voice of the little bug Su Tong suddenly rang out in Su Luo's mind.
"Su Luo, this thing is good stuff. You have to take it!"
Su Luo smiled faintly at her words. That had been his intention as well.
The Toad King looked at the pearl before it, a trace of tenderness flashing through its eyes.
This was a water-element treasure it had condensed with the efforts of its entire life, carrying an immense amount of water energy within.
It was precisely because of this pearl that it could guard this lake and reign as king over it.
Other Beast Race groups that wanted to drink water had to offer up their offspring as tribute before they earned the right to drink.
