There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 106 Seizing the Body

Caught between a tiger in front and a wolf behind, the Four-Faced Beast was dumbfounded. After being awakened by Tianlu, it flew away without knowing that Qiongqi and Taotie were on its side.

Therefore, the Four-Faced Beast couldn't help but complain in its heart: "Seriously, I just came out for a walk, why do you all want to eat me? Did I eat your rice?"

However, in order to survive, the Four-Faced Beast had no choice but to look at the Qiongqi and Taotie that were coming from behind. After all, the toad in front of him had just said that it would eat him, so there was no need for it to plead with the other party.

On the contrary, although Qiongqi and his companions sounded somewhat unfriendly, they were about the same size as his little plum blossom and were much better looking than the toad, which was in line with the aesthetics of the Four-Unlikes.

"Um, my name is Four-Faced Beast, could you...?"

Just as the Four-Faced Beast was about to ask Qiongqi and the others for help, Taotie interrupted him directly: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Get out of the way and watch."

After being roared at by the Taotie, the Four-Faced Beast immediately shut up, lowering its tail in grievance. It felt that the little yellow spiky ball was really fierce.

Qiongqi saw that the Four-Faced Beast seemed frightened, and panicked. They had come to find the Four-Faced Beast in order to achieve their goal indirectly, not to be disliked by this Qilin and then go back and talk bad about them.

"Taowu, watch your tone. If this guy goes back and says we were mean to him, we'll get a beating from those two Pixiu," Qiongqi whispered to Taowu.

Taotie pouted and said, "Troublesome. You go talk to him. I'll deal with this toad."

"Okay, watch me!"

Qiongqi approached the Four-Faced Beast and said, "Hello, my name is Qiongqi, and this is Taotie. Don't be afraid, we mean no harm."

Looking at Qiongqi's smile, Si Bu Xiang felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but take a few steps back: "Um, my name is Si Bu Xiang."

Seemingly afraid that Qiongqi and the others also wanted to eat him, Sibulian hurriedly said, "You... what do you want to do? I'm telling you, don't do anything rash. My little plum blossom is very powerful."

"Little Plum Blossom? Is that the red Pixiu?" Qiongqi thought to himself after hearing Si Bu Xiang's words.

At the same time, Qiongqi quickly explained his purpose: "Don't get excited. I've known them for a long time, and my eldest brother is called Haochen. You should know him."

"Haochen? Is that Little Coal Ball?" When Si Bu Xiang heard that Qiongqi knew Little Plum Blossom and Little Coal Ball, he was immediately relieved.

But when Qiongqi heard the Four-Faced Beast call Haochen "Little Coal Ball," he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hahaha, Taotie, did you hear that? Our boss has such a lame name as 'Little Coal Ball'!"

"Hehe, I heard you. You're mocking the boss's name. I'm going to tell the boss."

Taotie's counterattack brought Qiongqi's laughter to an abrupt halt: "Hey, brother, you can't betray me!"

"It depends on how you behave. Tomorrow you'll share half of your food with me, and I won't tell the boss that you laughed at his name."

Qiongqi never expected that Taotie, who never used his brain, would actually learn to threaten people, and that the first person he threatened was him. But for the sake of his own life, Qiongqi had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree to Taotie's humiliating condition.

"Damn Taotie, you better remember this, don't let me catch you doing anything wrong," Qiongqi thought through gritted teeth.

As for the toad, another involved beast in this incident, seeing Qiongqi and Taotie chatting with their prey right in front of him in his own home, he realized how little respect they had for him.

His temper flared instantly: "Damn it, how dare you underestimate me! Die, all of you!"

As it spoke, the toad opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of purple poison gas at the Taotie. Within the area where the poison gas spread, the vegetation withered and died at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qiongqi looked at them with disdain. The other party was underestimating them too much. Although they were still weak, they were still compared to adult divine beasts like Chaos.

As for monsters like the other party, Qiongqi really didn't take them seriously; they were usually kept in its belly.

"You dare to show off your petty skills in front of Master Qiongqi? How laughable!"

Qiongqi flapped its wings, instantly triggering the laws of wind to create gusts of wind that blew the poisonous gas that was spreading towards them back.

The toad was dumbfounded when it saw this: "No, I thought my move was pretty powerful, and the opponent is obviously not even an adult yet. Is this some kind of cheat?"

Before the toad could make another move, a yellow figure hurtled towards him, startling him into shouting, "Yellow Flash!!!"

The Taotie curled itself into a spiky ball and charged directly at the toad. The toad instinctively opened its mouth, intending to swallow the Taotie whole, and the result was obvious.

"Pah, pah, pah... My mouth, my tongue, damn it, you all deserve to die! You've really gone too far in bullying toads!"

After being spat out by the toad, Taotie stood up again, looked at the toad with its mouth full of blood, and sneered: "With your looks, you still want to eat me? Just wait and see if I don't prick you and you're done for!"

Although the toad was furious, he was already considering retreating. After all, he had lived so long not because of his strength, but because he knew how to assess the situation. In layman's terms, he was good at playing it safe. As long as he lived longer than his opponent, he would be the victor.

"Damn it, we can't win, time to get out of here!"

However, although the toad wanted to leave, Qiongqi and Taotie wouldn't let him go so easily.

"Although it looks a bit disgusting, it can still fill our stomachs. Let's bring on the Taotie together and not let this piece of meat escape."

Qiongqi then beckoned Taotie to flank him from both sides. Taotie, not to be outdone, said, "You don't need to tell me, he can't escape."

The toad never expected that the other party would actually treat him as food, and immediately panicked: "No, I look like this, covered in bumps, how can you bring yourself to eat me?"

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about that. Just peel off the skin and you won't be able to see it."

Qiongqi licked the saliva from the corner of its mouth and said, feeling a little disdainful. They could eat mud-smelling two-legged beasts, let alone just ugly ones.

Upon hearing Qiongqi say it would skin him alive, the toad panicked at first, then realized it couldn't stay any longer and had to leave immediately.

"We'll meet again someday, you just wait, next time we meet I'll skin you alive."

After threatening them, the toad didn't wait for Qiongqi and the others to get angry. It transformed into a streak of blood-red light and soared into the sky, fleeing into the distance.

"Hmm, what's wrong with Taotie? How did you let him get away!"

"Hmph, if you're so capable, why didn't you stop him?"

Taotie's expression was rather unpleasant. He secretly resolved that next time something like this happened, he must act swiftly and decisively, instead of dawdling and procrastinating, as that could easily lead to accidents, just like this time.

When Qiongqi saw that Taotie was ignoring him, he turned around to look at the Four-Unlikes, only to find that the spot where the Four-Unlikes was standing was empty.

Qiongqi immediately cried out, "Oh no, Taotie, that Four-Faced Beast has disappeared!"

Taotie pointed to the footprints on the ground: "Don't rush, there are footprints on the ground, let's follow the footprints."

Meanwhile, the toad, who had escaped using Blood Escape Technique, lay weakly in a cave.

After resting for a while, the toad stood up again and shouted towards the depths of the cave, "Give me strength, and I'll grant you anything. I don't want to be bullied anymore."

"As you wish, hehehe..."

As soon as the toad finished speaking, a hoarse voice came from the depths of the cave, followed by a plume of black smoke that appeared out of nowhere and enveloped the toad.

"Ah...it hurts so much! I don't want power anymore, I don't want it anymore! Get off me, quack..."

From within the black smoke, a toad let out a pitiful cry, but the sound quickly disappeared, and a pair of scarlet eyes appeared in the ensuing black smoke.

"Hehehe, although this body is a bit weak, it is surprisingly suitable, and this guy even contains a trace of the Golden Toad's bloodline."

"Just wait, Michiko, I'm back to take my revenge on you."
