The Frog's Soul Is So Weak
"Ha ha!"
The moment he stepped out the door, Li Ziran suddenly froze on the spot and started grinning foolishly. He turned around and looked at the majestic Mage Tower, but he no longer felt as inferior as before.
Everyone has their own shortcomings, and we shouldn't deny ourselves because of them. The first principle of survival is to accept the facts, and the premise of accepting the facts is to understand that everything may be perfect, including our weaknesses.
He couldn't sense the existence of elements to begin with, and if it weren't for Karen, he wouldn't even know what Undead energy was like.
As Sandrew said, he was a fool in the Necromantic Domain, a fact Li Ziran acknowledged.
However, acknowledging adversity does not mean accepting one's fate; a person's success is often forged in adversity.
Like Orc, they forgo abundant resources and willingly enter the ferocious lands to temper their Battle Qi. Although their destructive power is far inferior to that of mages, their survival ability is far superior.
At this moment, instead of being frustrated, he was grateful to have such a strict teacher. The stricter Sandrew's demands were, the more likely he was to master the Corpse Witch summoning technique the fastest.
Anyone who has experienced the trials of life can understand how extraordinary a strict teacher can be.
After all, no one offends another person without a reason. Everyone understands that a smile can bring a good face, but they don't understand another layer: it can't bring about a refinement or improvement in skills.
"Sandrew, be even stricter next time!"
Li Ziran bowed deeply to the magic tower, then turned and ran quickly towards his little nest. He needed to recover his mental strength as soon as possible. Of course, when he passed by Blackwind Pass, he bought two small steamed buns on the way.
"Bring me all the useless Frog!" Li Ziran shouted directly at the Rainbow-tail Girl busy in the pond.
The Rainbow-tail Girl looked at Li Ziran, who hurriedly entered the basement, with great confusion. They didn't know what had happened, but they all realized that it seemed to be in a great hurry.
Some went directly into the pond, some packed up the items that had been prepared on the crossbar, and some picked up brooms to gather the grass that was sunbathing together.
They didn't care how many Frog there were; they only noticed the word "all" in Li Ziran's words.
The girls grabbed the Frog by their hind legs and threw them into nylon bags. Once the bags were full, two girls carried them to Li Ziran's secret room.
But soon they received a new task: to move all the small snakes out of the basement and give the useless ones to the nearby Corpse Mountain to exchange for money.
This was the first time the Rainbow-tail Girl had seen snakes in the secret room. Each one was only as thin as a little finger. If it weren't for the fact that they had snake heads, you would have thought they were just large earthworms.
However, there were many of them; they were everywhere in the secret room.
Some girls mustered up their courage and glanced at Li Ziran. He was resting with his eyes closed, but in front of him, the Frog that had just been put in quickly turned into small snakes and then went silent.
Although these little snakes were still alive, they were incredibly stupid, letting them carry and stuff them into nylon bags.
The Rainbow-tail Girl was busy, and Li Ziran. He used Snake Transformation and Devouring Curse alternately, but all he got in return was a tiny raindrop in the Spirit World.
The amount of mental feedback that can be accumulated, aside from the mental energy consumed by the Transformation Spell, is pitifully small.
"It's terrible!"
These Frog's souls were ridiculously weak, unable to satisfy their needs at all, and Li Ziran couldn't help but reminisce about the good old days in the swamp.
The underground space was filled with Fire Elephant and Fishman; these souls were devoured at will, filling the Spirit World to the brim in just a few breaths.
Looking at the Frog that the Rainbow-tail Girl brought back, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. After a night of exhausting work, his Spirit World might not even be full.
He was now curious about how those mages managed to recover after sitting in meditation for a whole night, their minds completely depleted. Was meditation far more powerful than his Devouring Curse?
I don't understand.
"How much is left?" Li Ziran stopped the Rainbow-tail Girl and asked.
"There are many. Recently, the pond has become overrun with Frog, and we're thinking about how to get rid of some of them," the Rainbow-tail Girl said gently.
Li Ziran nodded, indicating that they could continue working.
No one knows what happened in that little pond overnight. The Rainbow-tail Girl was unable to return to the Mill. Instead, more girls were transferred from the Mill. To cope with the pressure of transportation, the girls, after receiving permission, specially hired two strong Gray Dwarves from the town.
Bags of Frog went in, and bags of small snakes came out; before they knew it, dawn had broken.
Li Ziran stretched and called the girl who had been working all night to stop. After using it continuously all night, his proficiency in Snake Transformation and Devouring Curse had greatly improved, but he was exhausted in return.
He needs to sleep to regain his energy for the afternoon's training, but he can't sleep yet; he still needs to take a close look at Little Mantou's appearance.
After a night, the steaming hot buns had frozen solid like a block of iron. This completely fixed shape was perfect for Li Ziran to observe. Back in his bedroom, he leaned against the wall and imprinted the entire shape and outline of the bun in his mind, from its surface to its structure, from its concave curves to its convex apex.
"Sister, what is he doing?" The Rainbow-tail Girl who was tidying up the hall asked, noticing Li Ziran's dazed expression. "Won't something go wrong? We should tell the clan leader!"
Even the tallest Rainbow-tail Girl was puzzled, as she had no experience either. However, Jili had instructed them to pay attention to Li Ziran's life, but not to interfere with it.
"Don't be curious, just get to work."
Thump!
Just as the two girls were wondering what was going on, Li Ziran suddenly collapsed onto the bed, startling them. When they ran over, they found that he was already fast asleep.
The short boys exchanged a glance, their eyes shining brightly; the opportunity they had been waiting for had appeared so easily.
Quietly closing the door, one person helped Li Ziran sit up, while the other slowly removed his clothes and carefully cleaned the stains from the corner of Li Ziran's eyes.
With her small hands, she gently pressed the material onto Li Ziran's skin.
"Sister, how about I..." The short Rainbow-tail Girl glanced at the tall girl, gently pulled down her tight-fitting clothes, and looked at Li Ziran, who was already snoring. Her meaning was clear.
But the tall girl shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Sister, don't waste your time on such petty schemes. The clan chief specifically warned us about this. Our Rainbow-Tailed Clan has had this happen before. Do you know what happened to her?"
The short girl shook her head; she had never heard of him.
"Li did not express her opinion, but the clan chief secretly sent her away."
"Why?" The shorter girl was even more puzzled. She had observed Li Ziran for two days and found him to be a very gentle person.
"Hehe, girl, don't ask such ignorant questions in the future. Do you think people don't know how much we're thinking? Just stay quiet and listen to me. We've already had a great opportunity to get to the basement. Go, use a hot towel to help me wipe myself down."
"Mmm! I slept so well!"
When Li Ziran felt it, he felt completely comfortable, as if he had just taken a bath.
When I opened my eyes, I saw two Rainbow-tail Girl crawling on the floor scrubbing it. The things on the desk were neatly arranged, and the whole room had a pleasant fragrance.
My two completely stiff little buns were placed delicately on the edge of the writing desk, like works of art.
He looked down at his clothes; the buttons were intact, but he could feel that his body was clean and refreshed. He had worked hard all day yesterday and was covered in sweat and odor, but now he was incredibly clean.
The two girls washed themselves, but did not cross any lines.
"You're so sensible!"
Li Ziran smiled. The girls who had been coming over recently were really getting better and better at understanding his temperament.
"Alright, stop what you're doing. Have someone clean up the pond. When you're free during the day, tie up all the adult Frog; I need them tonight." Li Ziran stopped the two girls and got off the bed.
As he left the bedroom, he turned back and specifically reminded her, "Tell San Niang that you don't need to go to the Mill anymore. By the way, what are your names?"
Upon hearing this, the tallest girl laughed happily, but dared not laugh out loud. Seeing Li Ziran ask a question, she quickly replied, "The clan chief said you can name us."
Li Ziran chuckled to himself; Jili's service was truly impeccable.
"Okay, your name is Xiao Wei, and the other one is Xiao Ju."
He didn't mince words and just made one up, as long as it sounded pleasant to the ear.
These two girls are thoughtful and pragmatic. During this time, he needs to focus on conquering the Corpse Witch, so the basement will need someone to clean it.
Moreover, whenever you want to see Sandrew, you should at least present yourself nicely, since he lives in a magic tower.
"Xiao Wei, go ahead and greet the guests who are coming from the reception. If they are regulars, tell them to wait for me. As for Xiao Ju, you will be in charge of managing the pond from now on. If you don't have enough manpower, you can buy two laborers from town."
The two girls were overjoyed to have a proper job.
The shorter girls were especially gleeful, as the taller girl had said: doing nothing actually brings benefits.
Being able to stay meant that they wouldn't have to do the hard work in the Mill like the other tribesmen.
"Yes, Master!"
Owner?
Li Ziran shivered, which made him a little cocky, but he didn't correct himself; he could deal with such details later.
He's full of energy now, and he's determined to impress Sandrew today.
I have to admit, women are really skillful; after such pampering, all my fatigue was swept away.
Having dealt with the Necromantic Apprentice guarding the Corpse Mountain again, I made my way up into the Mage Tower. Despite being full of confidence, I still felt a bit apprehensive when I saw Sandrew.
However, Sandrew's anger seemed to have vanished completely. Upon seeing Li Ziran greeted him with a hearty laugh, "Li, you're finally here! Come on, let's get started. I can't wait!"
This familiarity, treating him like a VIP, almost made Li Ziran forget his angry outburst yesterday.
Seeing that Li Ziran was still standing there, Sandrew seemed to understand and apologized, "Li, I'm sorry about yesterday. I have a quick temper and can't control myself in many things. I told you long ago that I can't be a teacher. Don't worry, just do your best today, and I'll restrain myself later. I promise you, if I don't learn how to Corpse Witch Summoning today, I'll jump off the Mage Tower."
Li Ziran looked at the six-story Mage Tower; it wasn't short.
Jumping off a tower, is there really any need to take it so seriously?
"Alright, Master, let's transplant the lungs today. The lungs are connected to the heart. If the transplant is successful, the lungs can directly absorb Elemental Tide, thereby boosting the heart's efficiency. With ample blood supply, the Embryo will develop much faster."
