Octopus Frog Transformation Spell

The most satisfying thing in life is to acquire new things. For Li Ziran, this meant corpses, slaves, and Frog.

With each additional type of Frog, his Frog Transformation become even more refined.

This should be a Deep-Sea Octopus Frog, also known as Black Frog. It has a unique gland in its cheek, which is Magic Organ that can absorb rare Ink Element from the Elemental Tide to form ink-like substance. This small pond is its masterpiece.

This kind of octopus frog is quite rare; even sailors who spend a lot of time in the Deep Sea may not be able to see it. I never expected that someone would give me such a precious Frog.

"Find out who gave you this Frog right away. If they need any help, let me know first!" Li Ziran instructed the Rainbow-tail Girl, then carefully picked up the frog and placed it in the Palm Bottle next to him.

He's getting impatient now.

If I could turn into Frog like that, maybe I could sail the Deep Sea someday.

Having acquired the first one, Li Ziran wanted a second, but reality soon dealt him a cruel blow. After circling the canvas shed, no new breeds appeared, much to his frustration.

He had to accept reality. After all, his reputation was limited, and he could only attract ordinary creatures. He was already lucky if a Deep-Sea Octopus Frog appeared at a time, considering that he had almost wiped out Frog in the area over the past few years.

Holding the crocodile by the handle, Li Ziran didn't rush to gut it. He had no choice; he needed to arrange a life for these Rainbow-tail Girl.

Frog are multiplying too quickly, and this pond is almost overflowing. In particular, the dead Frog that lose the competition will pollute the entire pond.

These corpses urgently need to be removed, and the older Frog need to be selected to facilitate Li Ziran's experiments, while also providing new living space for the tadpole eggs.

The grass by the pond needs tending, the holes in the canvas shed need to be fixed, and the buzzing mosquitoes need to be controlled.

Moreover, he needs Frog Sweat to set up the Transformation Array, and the teacher's Curse Art requires tadpole eggs and Frog skins. These little things are time-consuming and don't produce results, so he needs a lot of manpower.

Li Ziran also planned to build a snake shed, which would be a good way to deal with the dense population of Frog and also make it easier for him to study Snake Transformation.

These ten girls alone are simply not enough to handle the workload.

"Clean it up as before, and get the pond ready in two days, okay?" Li Ziran asked directly.

The tallest girl nodded and smiled sweetly, "No problem. We'll do it the same way as before: collect the dead Frog in a pile, find the mature Frog, hang them up with hooks, and extract their sweat and saliva. We'll label each bottle of saliva with a note indicating the type of Frog."

Li Ziran nodded. The other person had explained things in great detail and was an experienced person. It was a pity that Li Ziran didn't know the girl's name. If he could, he would really praise her. However, that was the job he did in the past. Things were different now.

"Besides these, you also need to collect tadpole eggs this time. I need their mucous membranes, but I don't want the eggs inside. As per the rules, each egg must be labeled with its species and quantity, and they should be released in batches. Also, when collecting the sweat, kill any useless Frog, but keep the leather for me. Do you understand what I mean?"

The girls looked up at the pond, whose edges were covered with dark tadpole eggs, and they couldn't help but feel worried.

Collecting tadpole eggs was already arduous enough, but picking out the tadpoles from inside was even more tedious. However, remembering Jili's instructions, he could only nod stiffly.

"Leave two!" Li Ziran stopped the multi-tailed girl. He had a lot of work to do and couldn't waste manpower on such a simple collection task.

The tallest one stayed behind; she seemed to have been instructed by Jili that she should be in charge of this group.

The other one who stayed was also quite tall, with big, golden curls, a rich aroma, and snow-white skin. Especially her bright red lips, paired with her innocent face, made her quite alluring.

This suited Li Ziran's taste perfectly.

The fact that these two women stayed behind clearly indicates that they had put thought into it.

However, Li Ziran has no time to focus on the two girls right now. He's got a burrowing frog in his hands, and he's itching to get rid of it.

At the end of the corridor was an iron gate, but instead of a house, there was a secret room that led underground.

A large bamboo basket sat at the entrance to the secret room, emitting a foul stench from the rotting entrails and bones of Frog.

Li Ziran pulled the key from under the stinky bamboo basket, opened the door, and was immediately hit by a strong smell of dust, mixed with a rotten odor.

Cough cough!

Anfuni started coughing. If the small building was the epitome of cleanliness, then this secret room, whose purpose was unknown, was the epitome of filth and chaos.

Behind the iron gate was a staircase leading straight down. Li Ziran waited until the dust settled before opening the Sunstone, and the space gradually brightened.

This is a basement, surrounded by stone, with internal and external partitions. The entrance faces a large hall, which is connected to two rooms.

The most conspicuous thing in the hall is an iron bed. The iron bed has three rows of horizontal bars, and strings of barbs hang from the horizontal bars. Because it has not been used for a long time, some of the barbs have rusted.

Li Ziran walked over, took the Frog off his waist, and used barbs to thread it through its hind legs, hanging it on the horizontal bar. He was very skilled at this process.

After dealing with the clutter on his body, he took the Ink Frog out of the Palm Bottle, hooked it by its hind legs, and hung it alone on the middle horizontal bar.

The Frog squeaked and hopped around in the air, making the crossbar clang loudly. Li Ziran was completely unaware and looked at the two Rainbow-tail Girl. "Clean up the crossbar!"

The two girls were clearly in a daze, and only came to their senses after Li Ziran reminded them twice.

They had heard Jili mention that if they could enter a stone chamber with barbs hanging from it, they would be halfway to Li Ziran. Jiao Gao specifically instructed them that if they entered the stone chamber, in addition to completing the various tasks assigned by Li Ziran, they should also take good care of the first room on the left.

That was Li Ziran's bedroom; if he didn't object, it was absolutely the perfect signal to get closer.

The two girls moved toward the bedroom while cleaning the barbed wire on the horizontal bar.

The first thing they saw was a bunk bed with a desk next to it, a lamp next to it, and a neat stack of files next to the lamp. Opposite the files was a thick stack of books. What caught their attention most were the pictures all over the room, all of them Frog of various kinds.

Very clean!

It's completely different from the lobby.

"Should we clean inside?" the tallest girl asked.

Li Ziran was observing Zhangwa when he saw that the two Rainbow-tail Girl had finished cleaning. He looked at his own bedroom, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head.

"No need! Just help me clean this Palm Bottle!"

Palm Bottle are glass bottles that are much larger than Thumb Bottle, about the size of an adult's palm, and are suitable for collecting solutions.

"OK!"

The Rainbow-tail Girl responded, somewhat disappointed, but still ran towards another room.

This is the medicine room. In addition to storing various medicines that are consumed in large quantities, it also stores extracted Frog Sweat and saliva, as well as medicine containers such as Thumb Bottle, Palm Bottle, and glass tanks.

When the two girls came out, the octopus frog was completely unconscious, clearly having been injected with an anesthetic.

They carefully placed the Palm Bottle on the table and waited quietly. They couldn't do anything rash now; Jili had specifically instructed them not to disturb the man's surgery.

Li Ziran casually picked up the Palm Bottle, inserted a safety pin into his hind leg, and dark blood began to drip. At the same time, he grabbed a Frog from the horizontal bar, and its blood dripped onto his forehead. The Ram-headed People gradually recovered.

But just as it recovered, the oily green light spots enveloped it again.

"Wrong!"

Anfuni watched from the side; the octopus's limbs had already disintegrated, and Li Ziran was holding a thin intestine, muttering to himself.

Meanwhile, the Ram-headed People next to him was currently in the form of a brown Frog.

She was a priestess, unlike the Rainbow-tail Girl who only saw the Ram-headed People's changing colors and shrinking size. She could sense that Li Ziran's Spirit World was boiling.

On that small iron plate, a mental magic circle was constantly changing. With each change, the shape and color of the Ram-headed People changed slightly, slowly taking on the form of a frog.

Anfuni was astonished; this was a deduction based on words.

Each field has its own specific script, and it is these scripts that construct complex and ever-changing magic arrays.

The young wizard before us, with little cultivation, was actively manipulating the order of the characters within the magic circle, altering its structure.

This is terrifying!

Every character has its own unique meaning, and when characters are connected, they create complex and ever-changing rules that often have uncontrollable effects.

Deducing magic circles from text is something only Magister can do; before becoming Magister, all mages use pre-developed, fixed templates.

She watched Li Ziran quietly, her heart filled with turmoil. She had never seen an ordinary person so calm and focused on deduction. Even among the vast Elves race, very few possessed such abilities.

Time ticked by, and the octopus frog had broken into hundreds of small pieces. Strangely, the octopus frog was still alive, while on the other side, an almost identical octopus frog was taking shape.

One day!

Before he knew it, the whole day had passed, but Li Ziran still didn't stop.

He's correcting it!

Anfuni knew that Li Ziran had completely mastered the Transformation Spell of the octopus frog and had not given up yet, but was still working on the final details.

The Ram-headed People, now transformed into a frog, had its pupils slightly dilated, and the markings between its brows were changing from a three-pronged pattern to a five-pronged pattern. The mucous membranes on its webbed feet were also weakening.

The more Anfuni looked at it, the more amazed she became. It was as if a deity was slowly sculpting this work of art.

This is Elemental Bug.

These invisible and intangible Elemental Bug seemed to be followers of Li Ziran, naturally radiating the power of transformation in accordance with his will.

She was convinced!

Despite being just a minor Transformation Spell, the details it revealed were so impressive that even White Tiger Priest like herself couldn't help but be impressed.

"If he could sense the Elemental Tide..." Anfuni dared not think that with this temperament and this stable ability to deduce words, becoming Archmage would not be difficult, and he might even be qualified to challenge for the Title Realm.

Finally, Li Ziran stopped. The frog had fully taken shape, but he was still not satisfied.

"I wish there was one more!"

He enjoys pondering words little by little; these are wondrous things, and even a slight change can trigger a series of reactions.

Every change is like cutting out a nerve with a knife, causing some organ of the creature to malfunction.

This challenge fascinated him.

Unfortunately, good Frog are far too few and far between.

Thump thump thump!

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and the girl with the multi-tailed tail ran in, panting, and said, "Sir, it's terrible! The Archmage is here!"

Li Ziran's heart skipped a beat. Had he heard correctly? The Archmage? Wasn't she someone who never left Corpse Mountain? Why had she come here in person?

"You mean the Archmage Undead Gegwu?" Li Ziran asked quickly, wondering if the other party had a heart problem.

"No, no! It's Lord Sandrew. He wants to see you in person. Also, we just found a letter from Lord Sandrew that he left for you among the letters. That Deep-Sea Octopus Frog is the one Lord Sandrew left for you."
