Chapter 331: 327: Dry Pot Desolate Ghost Frog?
Chapter 331: Chapter 327: Dry Pot Desolate Ghost Frog?
Hearing Bai Qi’s words, the caterpillar unintentionally shivered, saying, “Boss, I’m not the type to hold grudges, so why don’t we forget about it…”
“That’s not acceptable; this is a mission our teacher assigned; it must be completed.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi shook his head and said, “Besides, you’ve fought all the way here; what more do you have to fear?”
Although the Lord Creatures they’d encountered on the way were not low-levelled, both Husky and Gamma showed little interest. Although Delta acted impartially, once Delta had instantaneously annihilated a fifth stage Lord, Bai Qi didn’t allow him to make a move again.
The teacher had sent him to kill ferocious beasts to train the team’s creatures, knocking them out one by one didn’t have much of a training effect on them.
Because of this, Bai Qi handed over all ten of the subsequent Lord creatures to the caterpillar, who currently had the weakest combat power in the team.
Initially, the caterpillar was somewhat flustered, but with the powerful recovery power and attributes brought about by the Sun Wheel, the caterpillar quickly adapted to this rhythm of combat, achieving considerable improvement.

Even though Bai Qi wasn’t particularly impressed by most of the resources, he still selected some and upgraded the caterpillar’s two mid-level skills to high-level ones. Although their functionalities didn’t change much, their effects significantly improved.
However, King-level creatures were different. There was a decent probability of obtaining mythical resources – undoubtedly a super skill. Even if you don’t like it, an equivalent exchange wouldn’t be a loss.
Seeing Bai Qi’s persistence, the caterpillar didn’t refute him further.
After all, the Boss probably wouldn’t make it confront a King-level creature alone, right?
…
The Black Nightmare Swamp, located to the west of Langya City, was named for its perennial lack of sunlight and the frequent activities of soul race creatures.
The most famous of these were the Desolate Ghost Frogs scattered throughout the swamp.
“Tsk tsk…Gamma, do you think this Desolate Ghost Frog is edible?”
Bai Qi picked up a Desolate Ghost Frog that was completely mired in caterpillar’s dreamland. Looking at its plump body, he couldn’t help but ask.
Thunk thunk thunk.
(Master, I researched this. Although the Desolate Ghost Frog is ugly, it tastes quite good. How do you want to cook it, master?)
“Hmm – let’s have dry pot then.”
Bai Qi handed the Desolate Ghost Frog to Gamma and then looked at Husky, asking, “How’s it going? Did you find the location of the Desolate Ghost Frog King yet?”
Woof woof!
(Human, this place stinks. I don’t want to look.)
Beta showed a face full of disgust, and Schuck also shook his head, saying, “The Desolate Ghost Frog King should be hiding under the swamp. The magnetic fields of the Black Nightmare Swamp are unique; I can’t pinpoint its location yet.”
“I see…”
Bai Qi frowned slightly. The Black Nightmare Swamp was extensive, and if they started looking for places blindly like headless flies, who knew if they could complete the mission before the teacher’s vacation was over.
“Stupid dog, start looking for it. Otherwise, I’ll throw you into the swamp.”
Bai Qi pulled Beta, asking it to start working. However, Beta showed a death-or-glory resistance. It didn’t even bother to stick out its nose or open its eyes.
This place really stung the eyes.
“I’ve found its location.”
At that moment, Jerry suddenly spoke, pointing to the depths of the swamp, saying, “I can sense a powerful soul entity over there. It should be the Desolate Ghost Frog King.”
“Good job. Jerry is more reliable.”
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, saying, “Let’s go. We’re setting off.”
Woof woof!
(This place stinks too much. I feel like even my spirit power will be polluted. I won’t go in there even if I die.)
Seeing that Bai Qi was serious about going in, Beta showed complete resistance. Its claws dug firmly into the ground, and it refused to let go.
They all come from a single consciousness, so why is there such a great difference?
However, the environment of the Black Nightmare Swamp is indeed somewhat poor.
Bai Qi surveyed the nearly zero-visibility Black Nightmare Swamp in front of him, grabbed the somewhat shrinking bug grass, and said, “It’s your turn to shine.”
“Alright.”
The bug grass reluctantly agreed. It flew up into the air with its wings, exposing the Sun Wheel on its back to the sunlight without reservation.
Instantaneously, the Sun Wheel on the bug grass’s back radiated brilliantly. The bug’s body became like a second sun, dispelling the darkness within the Black Nightmare Swamp.
As a Transcendent Skill, the Sun Wheel not only enhanced the attributes of the bug grass but also had the ability to change the surrounding weather.
Of course, only to sunny conditions.
Quack! Quack! Quack!
The Desolate Ghost Frogs, that liked living in darkness, were suddenly bathed in sunlight. They immediately let out a series of mournful sounds, hopping and jumping towards the depths of the swamp. But before they got far, Gamma caught them one by one.
The master had said he wanted a dry pot of Desolate Ghost Frogs, he couldn’t possibly prepare enough.
Under the influence of the bug grass’s sunshine effect, the Black Nightmare Swamp experienced rare sunlight, and even the stench had decreased somewhat.
Awoo! Awoo!
(Finally, saved! I almost thought I was going to be suffocated here…)
Beta exhaled heavily, with a look of having narrowly escaped death on his face. He looked upset at Schuck and Jerry.
Since he had comprehended Insight into Everything, his perception ability had become stronger. Even without activating a skill, his sense of smell was quite sensitive. In the Black Nightmare Swamp, which has been a harsh environment for who knows how long, it was torture to even breathe.
The most unbearable thing for Beta was that, even though they came from the same body, these two divided consciousnesses could not sense his pain at all.
After all, you can’t expect a machine and a member of the undead to discuss whether this place stinks or not, right?
“Now that it doesn’t stink anymore, hurry up and find the exact location of the Ghost Frog King.”
Awoo?
(But it’s already here, isn’t it?)
As soon as he finished speaking, Schuck and Jerry both went on alert at once, clearly they had sensed something too. Gamma and Delta immediately moved to Bai Qi’s side, protecting him.
Quack!
An earth-shaking croak came from underground, causing the swamp beneath their feet to explode. A giant ghost frog with a ferocious face jumped out of it.
But the target of the Ghost Frog King was not Bai Qi, but the bug grass that was releasing sunlight in the air.
Good boy, with such a clear target, what grudge is this exactly?
Delta agilely moved Bai Qi out of the path of the Ghost Frog King, while Gamma transformed into a diamond wall, blocking any flying swamp dirt.
As for Jerry, he directly took control of the body, ready to rescue the bug grass.
“Jerry, stop. Let the bug grass try first.”
Jerry paused at his words, watching the bug grass running hell-for-leather away from the Ghost Frog King after dodging its surprise attack, he did not move again.
Although the bug grass was just a high-grade lord, and there was a huge difference between it and the lower king-level Ghost Frog King. But at present, it seemed that the Ghost Frog King was having a hard time catching the bug grass.
Mythical bloodline, it really is powerful!
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, while the bug grass was in despair. It wanted to ask Bai Qi for help, but the Ghost Frog King behind it did not give it a chance. Its crimson tongue, like a sharp arrow, kept attacking the bug grass.
Thinking about what would happen to Itself if it was hit by that crimson tongue, the bug grass spared no effort, the light from its Sun Wheel on its back shone to the extreme, and it finally got rid of the Ghost Frog King behind it.
“Boss, you’re not really planning to let me deal with the king ferocious beast, are you? I’m just a weak lord creature…”
The bug grass looked miserable and asked Bai Qi for help. However, Bai Qi’s face showed a bright smile, and he said, “Of course not, our spirits are with you, um, the Ghost Frog King has caught up, you better run.”
“Boss…”
The bug grass was stunned. Seeing Bai Qi and the other pets like Husky quietly distancing themselves, it had no choice but to flap its wings and fly into the sky.
However, the Ghost Frog King seemed to have noticed the bug grass’s plan. The moment the bug grass changed its flight direction, the strong four limbs of the Ghost Frog King forced ahead. It came to the front of the bug grass and snapped at the bug grass.
At that moment, the Ghost Frog King’s movement suddenly froze. Although it quickly returned to normal, the bug grass took this opportunity to escape, leaving a dazzling rainbow light behind, like a rainbow crossing the Black Nightmare Swamp.
And the Ghost Frog King, after absorbing a lot of rainbow light, was obviously affected, staggering like a drunkard. But it was only a moment before it recovered its normal state.
Imprisonment, Deep Sleep.
The effect of these two abnormal states was quite negligible to the Ghost Frog King, which was proficient in similar abilities.
Quack Quack!
The Ghost Frog King croaked, and suddenly several wraiths came out from around its body, rushing towards the bug grass. The frog’s cheeks were bulging at the same time, obviously summoning something.
The bug grass didn’t expect the Ghost Frog King to pull such a move. It was entangled by the wraiths, and before it could shake them off, it heard a massive rumble from below—a poisonous gas-filled air cannon shot out from the hands of the Ghost Frog King and came right in front of the bug grass.
Boom!
The poisonous gas cannon exploded, the great power obliterated the wraiths with it, and the bug grass was instantly enveloped in black smoke.
Quack Quack!
Seeing this creature that once tried to parasitize it was obliterated by it, the Ghost Frog King croaked happily a few times, then turned its attention toward one side, planning to devastate Bai Qi and others.
But somehow, Bai Qi and the others had already disappeared.
