I am Master Maoshan

Liu Jun's eyes widened, his jaw almost dropping to the ground. The giant pig summoned by Xu Baoer was crushing three Platinum Divine Realm soldiers with its hooves. Its fat body was incredibly flexible, and every time it charged, it could plow a half-meter deep gully on the ground.

With this kind of fighting power, how can this be considered a domestic animal? It is clearly a war machine in pig skin!
"Hmph, it's just a pig, get out of here!" Deputy Hall Master Mo Wushang's black robe fluttered, and dozens of black threads suddenly burst out from his skinny fingers. Those threads twisted and pounced on the giant pig like living things, and even the air made a corrosive "sizzling" sound wherever they passed.

"Be careful!" Liu Jun's right arm ignited with golden-red phoenix fire, and the blazing flames turned into a firebird with wings spread and shot out. The flames and the black lines collided in mid-air, bursting into a dazzling light, and the heat wave overturned five or six ancient demons around.

Xu Baoer jumped up and landed on the giant pig's back, her face flushed red: "Go, piggy!"

The ghost doll let out a sharp laugh, carrying the Ten Thousand Demons Cauldron, and turned into a black whirlwind, drilling into the enemy camp, killing or injuring everyone it went through.

The most surprising thing was the group of blue beasts. These usually timid creatures actually used space blades to cut off the limbs of several ancient demons, although their claws were still trembling.

"Hold on!" Liu Jun swung his sword to repel the deputy hall master Mo Wushang who was coming to kill him, and suddenly felt a chill on his back - a bone spur pierced his left shoulder.

Turning around, he saw an even taller ancient demon from outside the domain with a trace of golden lines on his body. He was obviously a guy in the middle stage of the Half-Step God King realm.

When I looked up again, I saw densely packed enemies coming like a tide, so many that it made me despair.

At this moment, a series of "quack" sounds suddenly rang out around them. Thousands of miasma frogs jumped out of the rotten water, their swollen poison sacs glowing green in the moonlight.

The leading giant miasma frog king, as big as three trucks, squatted on the ground. As its cheeks moved, it spewed out poisonous fog that covered the sky and the sun. The ancient demon rushing in the front turned into bones in an instant.

Thick miasma rolled over it like a pot of boiling poisonous soup. The huge body of the giant miasma frog king was looming in the mud, and its dark green skin covered with bumps constantly exuded highly toxic mucus, which dripped onto the water surface, making a "hissing" corrosive sound.

On top of this giant, there crouched a small miasma frog that was only the size of a palm. Its size was in sharp contrast to the frog king, but it held its head high and looked particularly majestic. Its amber eyes sparkled with wisdom in the miasma, staring straight at Liu Jun and his group.

"Brother, it's the little miasma frog we delivered!" Xu Baoer shouted in surprise, her voice echoing over the swamp. She jumped up excitedly and almost fell off the giant pig.

Liu Jun narrowed his eyes in bewilderment. In his eyes, these miasma frogs looked like they were carved from the same mold - all with bumpy skin and swollen cheeks, it was hard to tell which was which. If Xu Baoer hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have recognized that this was the little miasma frog they helped deliver not long ago.

"Quack!" The little miasma frog made a crisp sound, as if responding to Xu Baoer's call. It nimbly jumped to the frog king's ear and gestured with its forelimbs.

The giant miasma frog king roared, causing ripples on the surrounding water, obviously responding to the little guy.

It must be said that this frog is really grateful. Liu Jun thought to himself that compared to those ungrateful humans, this little miasma frog is more grateful. Not only did it remember their life-saving grace, but it also brought its tribe to help. This friendship warmed Liu Jun's heart.

But now is not the time to sigh. Liu Jun quickly gathered his thoughts and looked around vigilantly. In front of him, Deputy Hall Master Mo Wushang was holding a bone sword with a faint blue light, and his cold eyes were fixed on him like a venomous snake; behind him, an ancient demon from outside the domain in the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm was ready to attack; what was worse was that he himself had a white bone spur stuck in his body, and blood was constantly oozing out of the wound.

"Hiss—" Liu Jun took a breath of cold air. It must be said that this bone spur really hurts. He can feel the green evil energy attached to the tip of the spur eroding his meridians, and he must deal with it as soon as possible.

Without any hesitation, Liu Jun gritted his teeth and pulled the bone spur out of his shoulder. Blood gushed out immediately, but he didn't bother to bandage it. He threw the bloody bone spur at the ancient demon.

"Damn it, I'll give it back to you!" Liu Jun roared.

At the same time, the ghost doll had quietly appeared behind Mo Wushang, and its eerie laughter echoed over the swamp: "Hehehe, your opponent is me~"

The ghost doll's figure flickered on the battlefield like a ghost. Although it knew that it was no match for Mo Wushang, it adopted guerrilla tactics with its incredible speed, harassing instead of fighting head-on. Although Mo Wushang was powerful, it was difficult for him to completely defeat this cunning opponent. Each attack of the ghost doll was like a dragonfly skimming the water. Although it was not fatal, it forced Mo Wushang to be distracted and unable to devote himself to other battles.

On the other side, Liu Jun's battle was also extremely fierce. He was entangled with the foreign ancient demon in the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm and a dozen ancient demons in the early stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm. The attacks of both sides were intertwined like a violent storm.

At first, due to the numerical advantage of the ancient demons from outside the domain, Liu Jun and his men were at a disadvantage, but with the joining of the miasma frogs in the battle, the situation began to reverse.

The King of Miasma Frogs, with his powerful strength of the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm, directly helped Liu Jun and his team turn the tide of the battle. Under the fierce attack of the Miasma Frogs, the number of those ancient demons from outside the domain and the soldiers from the Platinum Divine Domain continued to decrease. However, the number of Miasma Frogs seemed endless, with no sign of reduction. In this black water swamp, the numerical advantage of the Miasma Frog Clan was fully demonstrated.

Speaking of numbers, we have to mention the reproductive capacity of the miasma frogs, which is absolutely astonishing. Ordinary miasma frogs can lay eggs twice a year, and the number of eggs laid each time is as high as 5,000. If it weren't for the miasma frog king's intentional restriction of the number of the tribe, I'm afraid the entire Black Water Swamp would have been occupied by miasma frogs and renamed the Miasma Frog Swamp.

However, although Liu Jun was quite powerful, he was only a half-step god king at the early stage. Facing so many ancient demons from outside the domain, he gradually felt the pressure. Every swing of the sword and every dodge required him to exert all his strength. But even so, he still did not give up and was still fighting desperately with the enemy. Mo Wushang saw that the situation was unfavorable, so he directly forced the ghost doll to retreat and disappeared in a flash.

His disappearance also directly accelerated the collapse of the coalition forces of the ancient demons from outside the domain and the Platinum Divine Domain.

The ghost doll, with its hands free, immediately went over to support Liu Jun, and the miasma frog king, who had dealt with those minions, also turned around to help Liu Jun.

Not long after, except for Mo Wushang who escaped, all other ancient demons from outside the domain and soldiers from the Platinum Divine Domain were all killed, without any escape.

"Quack, quack, quack!" The little miasma frog called happily, and jumped lightly from the huge body of the Miasma Frog King and jumped directly to Xu Baoer who was standing beside him.

Xu Baoer's face was filled with surprise and tenderness. She quickly stretched out her hands, caught the little miasma frog steadily, and then kissed it twice on its wet forehead, as if to express her most sincere gratitude and love to this brave little savior.

Liu Jun, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly when he saw this scene. Although he knew that it was these miasma frogs who stepped forward in the crisis and saved their lives, he still found it difficult to adapt to Xu Baoer's intimate behavior.

After all, in the human world, being so close to such a huge frog creature, especially one covered with bumps and venom, is really extraordinary.

In particular, when his eyes fell on the giant miasma frog king that was slowly approaching, Liu Jun's expression seemed a little distorted.

"What's with that expression on your face?" The giant miasma frog king seemed to have noticed Liu Jun's abnormality. It stopped, tilted its head, and asked with a puzzled look.

Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and scratched his head awkwardly. "Uh... nothing, just... uh, just, um, thank you so much for coming to help."

"Oh my god, you can talk?" Liu Jun suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes widened and he asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, the giant miasma frog king couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the sound echoed in the swamp.

"Of course, not only can I speak, but I can also understand your language. It's just that I don't speak it normally. It's because your language is too complicated. You have to say a lot of words to make something clearer than just a 'quack'." The Giant Miasma Frog King's words carried a hint of sarcasm, but also revealed a kind of helplessness towards the complexity of human society's language.

After hearing the explanation of the giant miasma frog king, Liu Jun and Xu Baoer smiled at each other, and the tension in their hearts also dissipated a lot. They began to realize that these seemingly ferocious miasma frogs actually have their own wisdom and sense of humor.

"Human, I came here this time to make a deal with you." The giant miasma frog king said with his mouth wide open.

Hearing this, Liu Jun couldn't help but feel curious, and stared at the giant miasma frog king in front of him, trying to read something from its expression. However, there was no other expression on the miasma frog king's face except for the pimples.

"What deal?" Liu Jun finally couldn't help but ask, his voice full of inquiry.

He knew that the miasma frogs paid such a huge price to help them, it couldn't be just for the sake of repaying a favor.

The giant miasma frog king slowly opened its huge mouth and uttered a few words: "I know you are not a simple person, so I want you to help us get some elixirs for the monsters to overcome their tribulations."

Liu Jun was slightly shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Miasma Frog King would actually make such a request. You know, refining this kind of elixir not only requires superb alchemy skills, but also requires precious medicinal materials and complicated steps. However, for Liu Jun, these are not a problem. He is originally a master of alchemy. Although refining this kind of elixir is a bit cumbersome for him, it is not difficult.

However, Liu Jun did not agree immediately. He frowned and asked, "That's fine, but why do you want to use this kind of elixir? Generally, even if you can successfully transcend the tribulation after taking this kind of elixir, your future path will basically be cut off, and it will be difficult to reach a higher level. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Hearing this, the giant miasma frog king's eyes flashed with helplessness and determination. He sighed slightly and said, "Our miasma frog clan has lived in this swamp for generations, but in recent years, with the gradual changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, our path of cultivation has become increasingly difficult. Many members of the clan have failed in their tribulation and turned into ashes. I don't want to see this situation continue, so I would like to ask you to help refine this pill."

After hearing what the giant miasma frog king said, Liu Jun had a complicated expression. He didn't expect that the miasma frog king would make such a choice for the survival of his people.

"Okay, I will help you refine this elixir. However, you must understand that although this elixir can help you overcome the tribulation, it will also have a great impact on your future. Are you really ready?" Liu Jun asked.

The giant miasma frog king nodded firmly and said, "It's ready. Don't worry, I won't let the talented tribesmen take the elixir."
