Chapter 161: Thinking Carefully
As far as Lin Fan was concerned, the frog was a big, fat pig, ready to be slaughtered. It was already in his hands and couldn’t escape.
“Hero, can you let me go now?” the frog asked cautiously. But just as it spoke, it couldn’t wait to slap itself twice for trying to show off. It had already fallen into a pit. Furthermore, this pit was a little deeper, so it couldn’t jump out of it.
“What’s the matter? Do you want to leave me just like this?” Lin Fan was a little unhappy. Could it be that I’m so scary that even a frog wants to flee from me?
The frog immediately felt a dangerous vibe gathering around it. It hurriedly shook its head. “No, no, you misunderstood me, Hero. I feel that I am very weak. I feel very insignificant, standing next to you, Hero.”
“Open your mouth,” ordered Lin Fan.
The frog had no idea what Lin Fan wanted to do. Could it be that this guy has some funny ideas? The fear in its heart grew stronger, but it still opened its mouth cautiously.
Just as it opened its mouth, two fingers clamped its tongue. The frog immediately wanted to croak, but it was completely powerless.
Lin Fan stretched its tongue for a closer look. “It’s weird, where are you hiding those things?”
He didn’t quite understand where exactly this frog was hiding all those treasures. When it was refining the pills, he saw many high-grade elixirs very clearly, which ordinary people couldn’t even find.
As I’ve expected, this guy wants my treasures. How could I forget the simple saying, “One must not show the silver in their pocket when traveling”? How could I be so foolish to try to show off while forgetting my own strength? I really pity myself.
“Hero, I really don’t have any treasures. I have run out of them while refining the pills just now.” The frog was on the verge of crying. Since it turned into a frog, this was the first time it was feeling this helpless.
“Hehe, are you kidding me? You’re telling me that you have no treasures after living here for so long?” Lin Fan didn’t trust a single word out of the frog’s mouth. “If you aren’t going to be honest with me, then I will just stew you.”
The frog was on the verge of collapsing. It immediately lashed out, “How can you be like this!? I’m a frog who has lived for tens of thousands of years, how can you treat me like this? I’ve suffered all my life. I’m now reduced to a frog. I can’t even see my wife.
“In this dilapidated place where birds don’t even shit, cultivation is like finding water in a desert. It took me tens of thousands of years before I could reach today’s level. If you take everything I have, you might as well just kill me and let me have nothing to look forward to.”
It didn’t know where it summoned all this courage from. It even dared to speak like this to a madman who wasn’t afraid of breaking an oath to the heavens. Then, it sighed in its heart. It seems these tens of thousands of years could not wear out all my pride and arrogance.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, didn’t move as if he was shocked.
The frog was also puzzled by the sight of the expression on Lin Fan’s face. Could it be that my words have moved this guy? Sure enough, even if I’ve been turned into a frog, others can’t ignore my temperament.
Clang!
The Tai Sovereign Sword emerged in the air, surging with sharp and fearsome sword intent.
“Well, in that case, I can only kill you and have a hearty meal. This trip won’t have been in vain,” Lin Fan said indifferently.
The frog was dumbfounded. It threw whatever it had thought to the high heavens and immediately yelled, “Hero, please forgive me! I’ll give you my treasures, don’t kill me.
“I just request you to let me keep a little bit. I’ll be your cow and horse in my next life to repay your kindness.” The frog was about to collapse. This human really doesn’t play by the rules.
Could it be that he doesn’t have an ounce of sympathy? I just poured my heart out. Anyone with a little bit of conscience would not to do this.
Lin Fan thought in his heart. This frog is far from ordinary. It knows everything I don’t know. Furthermore, its soul was shattered by someone. Obviously, it has extraordinary background.
This frog might be a bit useless, but it can refine pills at least. It’s better than nothing.
“Forget about the next life, swear for this life.” Lin Fan’s voice rang in the frog’s ears.
The frog, on the other hand, looked at Lin Fan dumbly. It roared in its heart. You are already at the end of the rope! You are so dead as long as you leave this place. What are you even doing this for?
However, as far as the frog was concerned, this was a pretty good opportunity.
“Hero, in fact, I have a mystical skillset known as Stealing From the Heavens and Cultivating Monster Technique, you can form a contract with a monster. It’s more powerful than an oath to the heavens. Here, take a look at this mystical skillset scroll, what do you think?”
Right then, the frog opened its mouth as a scroll surging with demon energy flew out of its mouth.
Lin Fan grabbed it at once and gauged it carefully. He never thought that such a skillset would even exist that could create a contract with monsters. Just a thought could determine the life and death of the monster pet. This skillset was also just perfect for this frog.
It could absorb the world’s earth energy through its connection with Lin Fan when Lin Fan went out of this place, allowing it to cultivate.
“Very good.” Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.
The frog said, “It’s pretty good. I can’t get out of this place until my cultivation has reached the Heaven Star Border Realm.”
Lin Fan made some hand signs in accordance with the scroll. A mystical pattern instantly appeared under the frog’s feet. Lin Fan could then sense that he had formed a close connection with a certain creature, and he could behead it with just one thought, no matter where the monster pet was; not even its soul could escape.
In light of this, Lin Fan put the frog down straight away. He wasn’t afraid of the frog running away.
“You’ve behaved yourself very well. Okay, now tell me where some of the treasures here are,” Lin Fan said at once.
The frog was feeling helpless. It hadn’t expected to form a contract with this human, but it had hidden a lot of things from Lin Fan. Although the Stealing from the Heavens and Cultivating Monster Technique could control its life and death, it would not receive any damage if Lin Fan ended up dead.
In its opinion, Lin Fan was already dead after having broken an oath to the heavens, so it would regain its freedom as long as Lin Fan left the Thousand Deep Cave.
Furthermore, it could absorb a bit of earth energy from outside before that happened.
“Master, the treasures are basically all guarded by powerful monsters. All the treasures without the protection of monsters have already been plundered over tens of thousands of years.”
“I also have a key to the Door of a Thousand Caves.” Right then, the frog opened its mouth as the talisman key floated out of its mouth.
Lin Fan grabbed it immediately and merged it with the other three pieces he had on him. The runes immediately started flowing without any hindrance.
“What the hell is this?” Lin Fan was a little confused.
The frog answered, “Master, I know about this. This is the biggest treasure of the dangerous lands of the Thousand Deep Cave. You can open the treasure house of the Thousand Deep Cave and get all the treasures in it. But I’ve been to that place secretly. There are many powerful monsters in there, even Heaven Star Border Realm monsters are numerous in there. If Master went there now, you would just be seeking your death. Furthermore, there are all kinds of random spatial pockets as well, the hidden places in there. It’s best to not go there before breaking through to the Heaven Star Border Realm.”
Lin Fan smiled. “You really know a lot.”
The frog raised its head, triumphantly and proudly. “That’s for sure. I’m a frog who has lived for tens of thousands of years.”
It seems I can’t go to this secret vault of the Thousand Deep Cave for the time being. Those Heaven Star Border Realm monsters aren’t that difficult. It’s those random spatial pockets. With my current strength, it wouldn’t be difficult to enter, but I’m afraid it would be quite difficult to get out of there. Furthermore, it seems that the Thousand Cave Secret Vault is quite hidden in these random spatial pockets. If I can’t tear space, I can’t even find it.
“Let’s go.” Lin Fan grabbed the frog and shot into the distance.
He wanted to cultivate now; he still had experience points.
At the same time, he wanted to make the frog refine pills for him.
This trip has been worthwhile. I will go back when that religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect comes to the Magnificent Flame Sect.
