Chapter 71

First, I would like to thank the book friend Zombieturtle Immortal for the generous tip again, hehe, it's really touching! Also, regarding some questions from book friends, such as the transformation, the transformation is still ongoing; it's just that there is an additional layer of force field armor. As for the lower intelligence, well, it's probably due to the tendency to make sarcastic remarks. Xue will pay attention to this in the future, thank you all for your suggestions! If there are any errors, please point them out, Xue will work hard to correct them. Thank you, please continue to support Xue.

One month later, in the vast forest, a figure was constantly advancing through the trees.

Erdong Sheng cautiously lay on the ground, looking at the strange beast, the frozen tree frog, in front of him, and a bitter smile appeared on his face!

For some unknown reason, during this period, all kinds of bizarre and peculiar beasts began to appear in the forest, including those that could generate electricity, those that could produce fire, those that were highly toxic, and even more of the ice-type beasts like the basketball-sized frozen tree frog.

These creatures not only had formidable defenses but were also extremely powerful. Ordinary abyssal beings had no way to deal with such creatures. Even Erdong Sheng found them quite challenging. If several of them attacked together, he would only have a chance to run for his life!

"Hiss!"

"What's happening to the weather? It's getting colder and colder!" As a fire-attribute demon, he was not sensitive to high temperatures, but he detested low temperatures. Every degree drop in temperature was a torment for him!

The weather was becoming increasingly strange. The abyssal rainy season had ended, and logically, it should have entered a period of drought and heat. However, as time passed, the temperature continued to drop, which was quite interesting!

At this moment, many experienced demons in the forest had a vague premonition of what was to come!

The most brutal time was about to strike again!

Erdong Sheng did not know what would happen in the future, but very early on, just after the rainy season ended, he felt that a great crisis was looming. He initially thought it was the land of death, but now this sense of crisis still lingered, not dissipating. The crisis had not yet passed!

Regardless of the crisis, food and resource storage were essential. Therefore, Erdong Sheng began to hunt the surrounding edible creatures according to his intuition.

Now, he was hunting this solitary frozen tree frog!

Many animals in the forest had mysteriously disappeared, either migrating away or being attacked and eaten by the increasing number of strange beasts. Faced with the awkward situation of having nothing to hunt, Erdong Sheng had no choice but to take on the strange beasts!

The frozen tree frog was a very powerful strange beast. Although there were no ranks among strange beasts, Erdong Sheng applied the demon ranking system to them. This way, the strength of the strange beasts could be clearly expressed. The lowest-ranked strange beasts were equivalent to first-level demons, and this frozen tree frog itself had almost reached the second level. It had formidable defenses, sharp ice spike attacks, and was generally a communal creature, making it extremely difficult to deal with!

If Erdong Sheng could find other animals to hunt, he wouldn't have bothered with this creature!

"Direct attacks won't work on this thing. The toughness of its skin scales makes it difficult even for the Destroyer Spear to penetrate!" Erdong Sheng lay quietly on the ground, holding his breath, motionless!

To hunt such a dangerous creature, one must have excellent mental fortitude! Patience, meticulousness, caution, and boldness are the necessary prerequisites for becoming an excellent hunter!

"I wonder how the spirit patterns on this creature's skin are formed, giving it such an abnormal defense!" The spirit patterns of this creature were extremely worthy of study. If they could be emulated, Erdong Sheng's scale defense would certainly be greatly enhanced!

Erdong Sheng watched the strange beast not far away, using its large tongue to flip through the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and frowned. "Is this thing looking for insects to eat?"

Faced with a creature with full defense and nearly full attack, Erdong Sheng seemed to have no strategy. However, what is the advantage of an intelligent being? They can think, use weapons to attack, and use fire!

He always believed that the reason humans became the most intelligent beings was not because they could use tools, but because of fire!

Fire not only brings warmth and courage when people are tired and in distress, but it is also a necessary tool for overcoming nature!

"I just need to create some flames to scare you. When you open your mouth, it will be your..."

He said and did it!

Erdong Sheng quietly retreated a bit, stood up, and prepared to find some usable tools to make a few torches. When the frozen tree frog opened its mouth to attack, it would be its end!

Erdong Sheng was not afraid of the frozen tree frog's ordinary attacks; what he feared was its unpredictable ice spike attacks. Therefore, he needed to use some torches to attract the creature's attention! He was confident that the tree frog would attack the torches because, just like he detested the cold, this creature detested fire and would certainly try to extinguish it!

It was not easy to start a fire in the forest. Erdong Sheng wanted to set the area on fire, but this wish was too difficult to achieve! Therefore, making a few torches was more appropriate and would not drive the tree frog into a frenzy!

To make torches, one needed an excellent source of fuel. Erdong Sheng tore off a few small pieces of animal skin from his body, which served as a good fuel source. He then found some wooden sticks and wrapped them with tough, fire-resistant vines, creating a simple torch!

"However, this won't produce much flame. If it doesn't attract the tree frog's attention and it attacks me instead, I'm in trouble!" He muttered to himself and began to search carefully around. His peripheral vision still focused on the frozen tree frog feasting nearby!

"Keep eating, keep eating, consider it your last meal!"

...

Stopping in front of a short, spiky vine, Erdong Sheng grabbed the tip of the vine and began to carefully cut the bark. He didn't need to cut too deep; a few light cuts on the bark would do. Soon, he would see what he wanted.

Slowly, the bark began to seep with a milky white sap, and a pungent odor followed! Erdong Sheng resisted the urge to cough and brought the small pieces of animal skin close.

This was an oily plant, which Erdong Sheng called Simondet Wood Vine. Just like the Simondet Wood from his previous life, this plant's sap contained a high concentration of oil. Although the milky white sap seemed diluted, it ignited easily and burned fiercely, making it an excellent source of firewood!

However, the plant oil from this vine was not edible and had a slight toxicity, which greatly disappointed Erdong Sheng. So far, he had not found any edible natural plant oil!

The sap slowly began to decrease, most of it seeping into the animal skin. Erdong Sheng wrapped the animal skin around the wooden sticks with thin vines and began his action!

...

Lying on the ground, one hand tightly gripping the Destroyer Spear, the other hand picked up a torch from the ground. With a thought, the torch ignited immediately. Without hesitation, he threw the torch high into the air, and the blazing flames immediately caught the frozen tree frog's attention!

"Not enough, more!"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

One after another, the torches, burning fiercely, were thrown into the air, heading towards the frozen tree frog! At this moment, the creature could no longer remain calm!

"Quack!"

"Quack, quack!"

The tree frog angrily called out, its mindless brain unable to understand why so many flames were falling from the sky! Where was the enemy? Where was the enemy?

Its aversion to fire made the frozen tree frog involuntarily puff out its cheeks, its body rapidly expanding as endless water elements gathered.

"Quack!"

With a thunderous roar, the bloated tree frog jumped up, and countless ice spikes shot out of its open mouth, like a machine gun with countless bullets! The sight made Erdong Sheng's scalp tingle!

What demon could withstand such power?

Boom!

The last round of ice spikes burst forth, extinguishing all the flames. The frozen tree frog, with its mouth wide open, fell to the ground with a thud!

At this moment, its body had not yet shrunk, and its mouth was still open. Just as it was about to catch its breath...

Suddenly...

A black spear flashed out and, in the next moment, pierced through the open mouth, emerging from the back with a "puh" sound!

"Right now!"

At the moment of weakest defense, a fatal strike!
