Chapter 9: Seizing the Magic Core

  Recommendations wanted!!!!!

  ====================

  "The splashing sound of 'pa pa pa' quickly rose from downstream, and Guagua, who was in charge of the upstream, knew that the enemy had arrived as soon as he heard this sound."

  He had arranged himself in this position, and the Great Elder must have made a prediction about it. He also had a deep understanding of Han Bing's intelligence. It seemed that he was going to sacrifice himself here to fulfill Jia Da's intention.

  Gua's eyes narrowed, and he snorted, "Where is it that simple?! I absolutely won't let you have your way!"

  Although Shu Zhen's initial move was just a physical attack, it can't be said that Guagua didn't have other attacking methods. Moreover, Guagua had already made thorough preparations to deal with the cold ice mantis.

  As the ice dragon was about to break through the water's surface, Gu Gua let out a loud whistle. Immediately, seven or eight small dog-headed men threw the previously collected magical fruit, Bing Han Guo, into the water after crushing it with their hands.

  This is a kind of fruit that can instantly release a large amount of coldness, and it has a very rich output near the glaciers. As early as when the ice frog was discovered, Guagua began to collect this fruit intentionally. Now, at least 20 kilograms have been collected.

  At first, the ice frog thought this was a strange attack and stopped in its tracks to prepare for evasion. After a short while, it discovered that this was just a small fruit, and suddenly it was ashamed of its own cowardice, with anger burning in its heart, wanting to rush over fiercely.

  But unexpectedly, as soon as it lifted its foot, it found itself unable to move! Looking down, those icy fruits had taken effect, freezing all the water under its body, and its four paws were frozen in the ice, completely immobile!

  In an instant, the icy coldness made him feel like his three souls flew to heaven and his seven spirits scattered. He couldn't care less about attacking the dog-headed men who were repairing the dam, he just wanted to quickly get rid of the ice on his feet so that he could escape!

  Before it could react from the shock, Guagua had already summoned all the small dog-headed men, who were holding long spears and fiercely stabbing at the cold ice shrimp.

  The other small dog-headed men were not strong enough, standing on the shore and stabbing into the middle of the stream, without any strength, they could only scratch the surface of the ice toad's skin without scales. Only Gua and Tudou Tusi Tuban, four people, could stab the long spear into the body of the ice toad.

  The ice scorpion glared at Gua Valley, its mouth opened wide and a thick icicle shot out at high speed. Gua Valley's martial arts skills were not to be underestimated, and with a flick of his wrist, he shook off the icicle and countered with a thrust of his long spear, which pierced into the ice scorpion's mouth. Although it wasn't fatal, it must have been extremely painful.

  The ice scorpion let out a painful scream and fiercely moved its claws, but still couldn't move.

  They inserted their long spears into the body of the ice toad, but did not pull them out. Instead, they took over the long spears from other small dog-headed people and stabbed again with all their might.

  Before long, the ice under the paws of the Ice Toad showed signs of melting. The Ice Toad didn't care about Dog Head's poking and prodding, it exerted some force and pulled out one of its front paws. A layer of true skin had been completely stripped off, with the skin frozen in the ice, revealing bloody muscle and dark green tendons on its leg.

  The ice cracked again with a loud roar, followed by a long whistle. A wave of white ice surged up, pushing the ice crab forward and loosening the ice under its feet. With three more cracks, the ice crab finally pulled all four limbs out of the ice and ran towards the water pool, its limbs covered in blood, with the crude spear of the dog-headed man still stuck in its body, but it couldn't run any faster.

  "Grandma's leg! You dare to run!" he shouted, pulling out a Water Breathing Fruit from his pocket and eating it in one bite. He then snatched the long spear from Tu Duo, used it as a pole vault, and launched himself into the air, drawing a parabolic curve with his body. With a loud thud, he landed on the back of the Frost Ice Crocodile, pinning it to the ice surface with the spear, almost nailing it in place.

  Taking advantage of the jump, Guagua also landed on Hanbing's body. He hugged Hanbing's neck and took out his stone dagger from his waist bag, fiercely stabbing it into Hanbing's neck.

  Before he could expand the wound, the ice-cold fish had already burst out of the frozen water surface, jumping into the stream, and suddenly a rush of fresh blood surged into the creek, dyeing the entire stream red.

  Luckily, Guagua had eaten a Water Breath Fruit beforehand, which gave him an extra thirty minutes of breathing time underwater. As he tore open the wound on the Ice Jellyfish's body, he simultaneously pushed all the long spears that were originally stuck in his body into the Ice Jellyfish's body, continuously struggling.

  At this moment, around the downstream water pool, Gada suddenly sniffed and said: "Great elder! I smelled a bloody smell!" The great elder slowly turned his head upstream and calmly said: "Let's go up." The other dog-headed people were somewhat anxious, with their children and elderly above, but looking at the great elder's calm demeanor, they didn't dare say anything.

  Gada urged the elder, saying: "Elder, let's hurry up!" The elder glanced at him and calmly said: "Sometimes sacrifice is necessary." Gada looked around at the strong Dog Heads and suddenly thought of something, his head lowered and he stopped speaking.

  Halfway through, the old man suddenly frowned and shouted: "Hurry up! I feel that the life force of the ice scorpion is already very weak!" The dog-headed people around were shocked and quickly walked upstream. Before they had gone halfway, they saw the bright red stream churning, like a boiling pot of oil.

  Gua pierced the entire Ice Toad with his stone knife, then inserted it into the toad's heart and pulled hard, breaking the stone knife. Gua cursed his bad luck, gritted his teeth, and concentrated all his internal energy into his right hand, which instantly became as thick as his waist, with five black claws like dark iron.

  "Open it wide!!!!!!" Gua burst into a loud shout, and his right claw was fiercely inserted into the chest of the Ice Toad, then he used force to rip it open. The Ice Toad, in extreme pain, turned its head around with a mournful cry, and its eyes seemed to shed tears, slowly losing their luster. Gua's entire body's energy surged into his right hand, and at this moment, his powerful magic caused even the dog-headed man's claw, which normally had no skin or pores, to seep out threads of fresh blood.

  Gua wouldn't be moved by this little thing, would he? Just now, with a bit of luck, all his strength seemed to have been sucked out, leaving not even a bit behind. He gritted his teeth and used the last thread of strength to reach into the heart of the Ice Toad, pulling out a blue crystal the size of an apricot kernel. On its surface swirled dense water-elemental spiritual energy, even forming a magical circuit of ice cones and mist that made Gua feel refreshed just by smelling it.

  Valley Melon didn't even consider taking the magic core to give to the Great Elder, he knew that even if he handed over the magic core, he wouldn't get any praise from the Great Elder, and would only make himself look like a fool being deceived.

  "Hmph! You're not benevolent, so don't blame me for being unrighteous! In this northern land, only power is the most practical thing! If I couldn't beat you, why would I have tolerated you until now?!" thought Gua.
