Two hours later.
Liu Jiang opened his eyes with satisfaction.
In the past two hours, he had gathered more than 20,000 feelings of joy, 30,000 killing intent, 30,000 resentment, and 410,000 feelings of fear.
There were two energy fruits hanging on the Treasure Tree.
3 epiphany fruits.
37 madness fruits.
7 intelligence subduing fruits.
The soul-controlling fruit condensed from fear needed 8,055,320 points to mature.
In two hours, it actually gave me more than 410,000 points of fear. This toad demon is really timid.
Liu Jiang sighed inwardly.
From Yang Wen, he had only managed to squeeze out more than 800,000 points of fear after being fooling with him for 10 hours, but this toad demon had provided more than 410,000 points of fear in two hours.
Oh right, how could a toad demon disguise himself as a human perfectly? Liu Jiang stood up immediately and realized the crux of the problem.
He had been so busy gathering his emotions that he had forgotten about this.
Liu Jiang muttered, "If I'm not wrong, that toad demon is most likely a spy from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom."
The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom was an exceptionally powerful demon country that was much more powerful than the Great Xia Immortal Kingdom.
They had been at war with the Great Xia Immortal Kingdom for many years. Although the fighting between two countries had given way to a truce in the past few years, small conflicts often broke out.
Everyone knew that in a few years, a large-scale war between the two countries would definitely erupt again.
In order to understand each other's situation, the two countries tried their best to send spies to the enemy country.
If it's really a spy from the Demon Kingdom, capturing him will be a big contribution. Liu Jiang's heart burned.
When he entered the dream, Liu Jiang could confirm that the location of the toad demon was in the Zhang family's teahouse in Liang Garden.
And there was a high chance that there were two spies. That toad demon had a companion.
When he was choosing the light spots, two unfamiliar two-star bronze light spots were very close to each other.
Two spies from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
As long as he caught them, it would be a huge contribution.
It was comparable to catching 100 ordinary demons of the same level.
At the very least, he would receive 200 taels of silver and 200 merit points.
The reward of 200 taels of silver was enough to attract people but the most attractive thing was the 200 merit points. They could be used to exchange for spiritual pills, rare treasures, spiritual artifact armor, martial techniques, and spells.
The points were worth far more than 200 taels of silver.
At the thought of this, Liu Jiang could not sit still anymore.
…
On the other side.
Big Stick Toad woke up from a nightmare. His face was filled with fear as he scrambled out of bed and slapped his own face.
Ah, don't fall asleep. Don't fall asleep. Don't fall asleep.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!…"
"Big Stick Toad, what are you doing?" Root Toad heard the commotion in Big Stick Toad's room and pushed open the door. He was stunned to see Big Stick Toad slapping himself like a lunatic.
I can't fall asleep, I can't fall asleep… Hard Stick's head was buzzing. He could not hear Root Toad's words and continued to slap himself.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
I can't sleep, I can't sleep…
Root Toad stepped forward and grabbed Big Stick Toad's collar. He shook him violently and shouted, "Big Stick Toad, are you crazy?"
Big Stick Toad recovered and panted in horror. "I had a nightmare. In the nightmare, I was tortured for hours."
"I can't believe you were so scared by a nightmare," Root Toad said disdainfully.
He knew that Big Stick Toad was timid, but he did not expect him to be so timid. He was almost driven crazy by a nightmare.
"No, you don't understand. You don't know. That dream was too real and too scary," Big Stick Toad said with lingering fear. Then he said excitedly, "No, that wasn't a dream. That was definitely not a dream. I was forcefully pulled into the dream hundreds of times."
Big Stick Toad grabbed Root Toad's arm with a terrified expression. His face was pale as he said, "I was forcefully pulled into a dream. Do you know? No matter how I resisted, I'd be forcefully pulled into a dream."
"I know, I know." Root Toad nodded perfunctorily.
"Do you know how desperate I was? That was definitely not an ordinary nightmare."
"I know, I know," Root Toad said perfunctorily.
It was not an ordinary nightmare.
But wasn't it still a nightmare?
"No, you don't know. You're patronizing me. You don't know at all. You don't know anything. Ah, you don't know anything." Big Stick Toad was a little crazy.
"Alright, alright, wash your face and calm down. You'll be fine after a while," Root Toad said speechlessly.
It was really amazing to be so scared in a dream.
"Let's go. We'll leave Black Clouds Town now. I think we've been exposed. It's no longer safe here." Big Stick Toad suddenly stood up and said solemnly.
"Are you crazy? We've been here for five years, and we're leaving just because you have a messy dream? Are you crazy?" Root Toad scolded.
Big Stick Toad said firmly, "No, we want to leave immediately or it'll be too late."
Root Toad pointed behind Big Stick Toad, who instinctively turned around. Root Toad hit him on the neck, and he fell to the ground.
"You'd better get some rest," Root Toad said.
…
Five minutes later.
Big Stick Toad woke up slowly and was shocked to see himself sleeping in bed.
Looking at Root Toad, who was not far away, Big Stick Toad shouted angrily, "Root Toad, you're killing us."
"You'd better calm down," Root Toad said.
"Calm down, my a*s. Listen to me. Let's go, let's go quickly. If there's no big problem, we'll be back in a few days," Big Stick Toad said solemnly.
"You're worrying too much." Root Toad shook his head.
"No, we have to leave. At the very least, we have to leave the teahouse temporarily. As for whether we can leave the town, we'll talk about it later," said Big Stick Toad.
This time, Root Toad did not reject him, but he still muttered, "You're worrying for nothing."
After opening the door, the two of them left the Zhang family's teahouse. However, after taking a few steps, they saw a shadow shooting towards them.
Then the shadow stopped not far from the two demons. Under the moonlight, one could see that it was a scholar in a green robe, holding a slender saber.
"It's him, it's him, it's him. He's the devil in my dream." Big Stick Toad seemed to be frightened as he spoke with a terrified expression.
Fear from Big Stick Toad, +1620, +…
Root Toad's pupils constricted slightly.
However, when he sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations from Liu Jiang, he was stunned.
A one-star Bronze. What's there to be afraid of? he thought.
Killing intent from Root Toad, +1650, +…
Liu Jiang narrowed his eyes. He did not expect these two demons to leave. He had come at the right time.
But it was different from his plan.
Liu Jiang's original plan was to sneak up on them, attack them, and quietly finish off the two demons.
Safe and worry-free.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into each other. Liu Jiang heaved a sigh of relief.
It was his first time facing a demon, and he was a little nervous.
With a thought, a madness fruit instantly appeared in his abdomen, turning into rich and pure energy that spread throughout Liu Jiang's body.
A lion captures a rabbit with all its might.
The other party is not a rabbit, and I'm not a lion.
Liu Jiang would not underestimate his opponent, nor would he be careless.
He went all out.
Seeing the spiritual power fluctuation on Liu Jiang's body increase by 10 times, the two demons were shocked.
Liu Jiang's Dharma powers were instantly higher than theirs.
Big Stick Toad opened his mouth, its heart full of fear.
Instantly, he contributed more than 3,000 fears to Liu Jiang.
Root Toad was not afraid. Although Liu Jiang's magic power was stronger than his power, his martial arts skills were very powerful. He was not as useless as Big Stick Toad.
He even took the initiative to attack Liu Jiang.
Magic power surged crazily from Liu Jiang's body as he circulated the Roaming Dragon Body Technique. His entire body turned into an illusory dragon shadow as he faced Root Toad.
