I am Master Maoshan

Kuiniu came in front of everyone. Its huge body was like a moving mountain, shaking the earth with every step. It didn't even look at the other creatures around it, and ran straight to the boxes of pills that exuded a faint medicinal fragrance. In its eyes, there were only those precious pills, as if everything else didn't exist.

Seeing this, the miasma frog king narrowed his eyes suddenly, and his muscles tensed instantly, ready to rush forward to stop it. He knew very well how powerful Kuiniu was, and knew in his heart that he was no match for it, but these pills were too important to his people. They were the hope of survival for his people and the key to improving their strength, and they must not be taken away, even if it meant risking his life.

"Don't be impulsive!" Liu Jun was quick to act and immediately stopped the Frog King who was about to attack. Although the two were of different sizes, Liu Jun relied on his amazing strength to hold back the Frog King's body that was about to explode. His face flushed red, but his eyes were extremely firm.

Kuiniu glanced at the Miasma Frog King, his big eyes full of disdain and contempt, as if he was looking at an insignificant ant. He didn't look down on the Miasma Frog King at all, let alone take him seriously.

Liu Jun took a deep breath and held the miasma frog king back again, signaling him to stay calm with his eyes. He knew that being impulsive at this moment would only make things worse, and only by stabilizing the situation could he find a solution to the problem.

Kuiniu blinked and took another step. The heavy steps seemed to step on everyone's heart, making them feel depressed. It finally came to the boxes of elixirs, lowered its head and sniffed, but did not rush to eat them. Its huge head shook slightly, and a disdainful expression appeared on its face. It was obvious that it did not think highly of this kind of elixir, thinking that they were not worthy of its status and strength, and did not want to eat such inferior products.

This scene made everyone feel mixed emotions. They were glad that Kuiniu didn't eat the elixir, but they were also worried that it would do something worse. The Miasma Frog King clenched his fists tightly, staring at Kuiniu, ready to deal with any possible crisis at any time.

Liu Junze took the opportunity to communicate with the Miasma Frog King in a low voice, his eyes flashing with curiosity and eagerness, trying to dig out more information about this mysterious Kui Niu from the Miasma Frog King. His voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing the giant beast not far away.

"King of Miasma Frog, do you know the origin of this Kuiniu? Why does it appear here, and why is it so interested in those elixirs?" Liu Jun asked a series of questions, each of which revealed his deep curiosity about this Kuiniu.

Kuiniu didn't seem to care about their conversation. It just stood there quietly. Its huge body was as big as a hill, and its eyes were slightly closed, as if it was thinking about some profound question or immersed in its own world.

The surrounding atmosphere seemed a little depressed because of Kuiniu's silence, and neither Liu Jun nor the Miasma Frog King dared to disturb it easily. However, this silence did not last long.

After thinking for a while, Kuiniu seemed a little impatient. It suddenly opened its eyes, a hint of displeasure flashed in its eyes, and then it raised its hooves as thick as pillars and stomped mercilessly on the boxes of precious elixirs that had just come out of the oven.

"Bang, bang, bang!" With a series of loud noises, the boxes full of pills were instantly crushed to pieces. The pills were scattered all over the ground, sparkling with an alluring luster.

This scene made the Miasma Frog King unable to bear it instantly. It opened its mouth wide, and stretched out its tongue like lightning, ready to swing it towards Kuiniu to launch an attack.

"Wait a minute!" Liu Jun saw this and immediately shouted. The sound was so loud that it echoed in the empty space like thunder, scaring the Kui Niu so much that it jumped, staggered its hooves, and almost fell.

The Miasma Frog King, who was closest to Liu Jun, was so shocked by the sudden roar that his tongue was almost tied up, and his attacking movement stopped abruptly.

Seeing this, Liu Jun quickly explained, "King of Miasma Frog, don't be impulsive! We don't know the details of this Kuiniu yet, and a rash attack will only cause unnecessary trouble. Also, you see that it cares so much about these pills, maybe these pills have special meanings to it. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to negotiate with it."

After hearing what Liu Jun said, the Miasma Frog King was still unwilling in his heart, but he had to suppress his anger temporarily and retracted his tongue that was about to stick out.

After this series of incidents, Kuiniu seemed to become even more irritable. It stared at Liu Jun and the Miasma Frog King with its eyes, as if it was about to spit fire, and seemed like it would kill them in the next second and trample them to death with one hoof.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense. Liu Jun and the Miasma Frog King held their breath, fearing that they would accidentally anger this giant monster. At the same time, Liu Jun's brain was working rapidly.

"Wait a minute, I have this." Liu Jun's voice suddenly sounded in the tense atmosphere, with a hint of urgency and firmness.

Finally, just before the huge body of Kuiniu was about to launch a fatal attack, he quickly took out an ancient and exquisite table from the storage space and gently placed it on the ground. Then, he took out dozens of different kinds of precious pills from the storage space and carefully placed them on the table.

These pills are colorful and fragrant, and each one exudes an attractive luster.

The mountain-like body of Kuiniu suddenly paused, and the murderous look in its eyes was instantly replaced by greed. It walked over step by step with heavy hooves, and every step seemed to step on the heartstrings of the crowd, making people tremble with fear.

The big eyes were wide open. This time, it didn't even sniff. It just lowered its head and began to devour the pills in big mouthfuls. Its movements were quick and greedy, as if it was afraid that someone would snatch these delicious "delicacies". Liu Jun looked at this scene with mixed feelings. Although the pills he refined for the miasma frog clan were also extremely precious, they were refined in batches after all. In comparison, they were far inferior to these in front of him. Although those pills were precious, they were not at the level of divine pills, not even quasi-divine pills. However, these in front of him were the top-grade pills that he had spent a lot of effort to refine.

The dozens of pills he took out were at least of the quasi-divine pill level, and there were five or six dazzling divine pills that emitted a suffocating spiritual power fluctuation. The value of these pills was inestimable, and if they were exchanged for spirit stones, they could buy a small city, which was enough to make anyone jealous.

However, within a few seconds, all these precious pills went into Kuiniu's huge stomach. Kuiniu burped contentedly, with a hint of pride and satisfaction in his eyes.

Liu Jun watched this scene, and a trace of distress flashed in his eyes. He knew that this big guy obviously didn't intend to pay, and was a freeloader. But now that things have come to this, he could only shake his head helplessly, secretly sighing that he had really lost a lot of money this time.

However, although he felt sorry for these pills, Liu Jun also knew that this effort might be able to bring about a temporary retreat of the Kuiniu and buy him precious time.

What he didn't expect was that after eating dozens of pills, the Kuiniu, whose belly was obviously full, didn't leave. Instead, it looked at Liu Jun eagerly with an almost pleading look. Its big copper bell-like eyes flickered with endless desire for pills, as if saying, "I haven't eaten enough. Be more conscious and bring me some more."

Liu Jun looked at Kuiniu's greedy eyes and felt helpless. He spent a lot of time and effort to refine these pills bit by bit, and saved them up. Each one was extremely precious. He gritted his teeth and tried to refuse with a firm tone: "No, these pills are very precious. I refined them bit by bit and saved them up by myself. I can't just give them to you."

When Liu Jun said no, Kui Niu turned hostile. The originally gentle and honest face of the cow was instantly filled with anger, and lightning flashed in its nostrils, as if it would spit out flames at any time. It suddenly raised one hoof, and with a whistling sound, it stomped towards Liu Jun fiercely.

Liu Jun was shocked when he saw this, and quickly shouted: "If you step on me to death, you will never be able to eat these pills again in your life!" He spoke very quickly, for fear that if he was a little slow, the hoof would really step on his face.

As expected, the hoof stopped instantly less than a centimeter away from the tip of Liu Jun's nose. Kuiniu seemed to be frightened by Liu Jun's words. It showed a thoughtful expression, its big eyes rolling around, as if weighing the pros and cons, wondering whether to trample to death the seemingly weak human in front of it, who held the elixir it had been thinking about.

The air around them seemed to freeze, and the tension was so intense that it was suffocating. Liu Jun's heartbeat accelerated, and he stared at the Kuiniu closely, fearing that it would do something radical. The Kuiniu also seemed to be hesitating, sometimes looking down at Liu Jun, and sometimes looking up into the distance, as if looking for a solution that would satisfy both parties.

This scene was tense and weird, and people couldn't help but worry about Liu Jun. However, at this moment, the Kuiniu suddenly let out a low roar, as if it had made a decision. It slowly retracted its hooves, turned around and walked away, but its eyes were always fixed on Liu Jun, as if saying, "Wait, I will be back."

When the huge body of Kuiniu slowly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest, the atmosphere at the scene finally relaxed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, as if they had just been freed from an invisible nightmare.

Liu Jun's body seemed to have been drained of all its strength. He sat down on the ground, his back against a thick tree, gasping for breath.

Recalling the moment of confrontation with Kui Niu just now, his heart was pounding. The Kui Niu exuded a palpitating aura, and its eyes were as deep as the abyss, which made Liu Jun deeply feel that the strength of this giant beast was definitely not inferior to that of Wu Rendi.

When he thought of this, Liu Jun couldn't help but feel scared. If Kuiniu really wanted to kill him, even if Wu Rendi showed up in time, it would be difficult to guarantee his safety. He would most likely die under the pair of sharp hooves.

The miasma frog king next to him was not much better. Its original arrogance was gone, and it also sat down next to Liu Jun. The venom on its forehead was no longer venom, but drops of sweat, crystal clear, glittering in the sun. Its eyes revealed a trace of fear that was difficult to conceal. Obviously, it was still frightened by what happened just now.

Seeing this, Liu Jun couldn't help but tease, "What's wrong? You were so fierce just now, why are you so scared now? Are you scared too?"

Upon hearing this, the Miasma Frog King rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "I am fierce to protect the interests of our tribe. That is my duty. But if a fight really comes to an end, with that guy's strength, he will most likely kill me. I'm not a coward, but a wise one." After saying this, it deliberately puffed out its belly, as if to prove that its words were not false.

Everyone just sat there quietly, and everything around them seemed to be still. After a long while, Liu Jun slowly stood up, patted the dust off his body, and his eyes were re-resolute: "Okay, quickly ask your men to collect these pills, and don't let another robber come out."

The Miasma Frog King also stood up, nodded with lingering fear, and hurriedly asked his frogs to put away all the pills.

Fortunately, although Kuiniu damaged some pills, the damage was not much and was still within an acceptable range.
