Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 12: Evil Golden Toad
"Dedicate to your uncle!!"

Xiao Ran's eyes turned red, and he felt as if his body had suddenly gained an inexhaustible amount of strength. Facing the figure rushing towards him, he raised his leg and kicked the other person in the chest.

Originally it had six points of strength added, and now it has been increased to more than ten points. The two are completely qualitative changes.

The villager only heard a sound of bones breaking in his chest, and his entire chest was caved in. His body was like a flying cannonball, smashing into several people behind him, directly knocking down a large number of them.

Seeing four or five people lying on the ground and unable to get up, Xiao Ran wanted to rush in like a tiger and crush all these bastards, but suddenly he changed his mind and calmed himself down.

"No, now is not the time to fight with these people."

Perhaps he could still use his current brute force to pin these guys to the ground, but that would not be easy for him. Even if he had avoided the vital points, no one would feel good with a hole in his stomach.

More importantly, if I fight to the death with this bunch of scum, who will deal with that old witch?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran kicked down two or three people in succession, then relied on his brute force, grabbed someone next to him and used him as a shield, and rushed straight into the crowd.

The alley in this dead end was already narrow, and the person who was knocked over by Xiao Ran was thrown to the ground, screaming in pain.

"Ouch, don't step on it! Don't step on it!!"

"Whose feet are taken away?!"

"Don't pull it, that's not a belt!!"

Suddenly the whole alley was in chaos, but Xiao Ran just kept rushing forward relying on brute force. Some people wanted to take the opportunity to chop him with a knife, but they were blocked by the human shield he was holding.

As soon as Xiao Ran rushed out of the alley and looked back, he saw a group of people staggering and groaning.

Seeing this, he threw the meat shield in his hands, which was already full of axes, swords and guns, to the ground, grinned in the direction of Tao Ge'er and others, gestured on his neck with his hands, then turned around and ran towards the village without looking back.

"broken!!"

Seeing Xiao Ran's departing back, the rotten muscles on Tao Ge'er's face trembled uncontrollably.

He knew Li Shang's character too well. If they attacked Li Shang this time, even if the old lady showed mercy, Li Shang would make them live a life worse than death.

What's more, the old lady killed half of the people in the village in order to save him. Now that he has been resurrected with great difficulty, how could she let them go?

The more Tao Ge'er thought about it, the more terrified he became, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

But it was too late to chase after her now. Thinking of this, Tao Ge calmed himself down and turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, get up, go inform everyone in the village and tell them that this is all fake. The old lady only wants to resurrect her son and doesn't care about our lives at all. If you want to live, if you want to live like a human being, go and settle the score with the old lady together!!"

At the end, Tao Ge'er simply tore off the paper skin on his face, exposing his face that looked like a zombie, and stared at everyone with his two bulging eyeballs: "This is our only chance!!"

…………

“Mother, mother!!”

In the courtyard, the old lady was lying on the armchair with her eyes half closed, and two village women were massaging her legs on her left and right. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice calling out, and her drooping eyelids suddenly opened.

Soon the gate was violently slapped open, and Xiao Ran, covered in blood, stood at the door, staring at the old lady sitting on the chair. In an instant, the memory of Li Shang flashed through his mind, and his eyes gradually became blurred.

At this moment, it was as if he was Li Shang. A sour feeling appeared on his nose. He staggered forward two steps and said, "Mom!"

"Boom!!"

Hearing her long-lost cry, the old lady on the chair slowly sat up straight and murmured to herself: "Success? Really successful?"

Just looking at the unfamiliar face in front of her, the old lady's face could no longer conceal her joy.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran quickly walked forward a few steps, held the old lady's hands with both hands and said: "You don't recognize me? I am your son, Gou'er, I didn't listen to you at the beginning. You said that Yang Xuan was knowledgeable and arrogant, and I couldn't suppress her. In the end, I didn't expect that she would really dare to kill me!"

"Dog, Mommy misses you."

As she spoke, she slowly reached out her hand and gently stroked Xiao Ran's cheek. Her cloudy eyes seemed to see Li Shang's bearded face in a trance.

Xiao Ran lowered his head and his shoulders were shaking violently. It wasn't because of his great acting skills, but the burning pain on his back and lower abdomen was really severe.

However, this kind of pain cannot be considered as an active sacrifice, and cannot obtain the blessing of the [Power of the Evil God].

"child,
The old lady wanted to say something, but the noise outside prevented her from continuing.

The noise was so loud that Tao Ge'er's shouting and cursing could be heard from far away.

When Xiao Ran heard Tao Ge'er's voice, he suddenly felt very close to her: "Finally you're here. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't be able to continue the performance."

He immediately raised his head, staring at the door with fierce eyes, and said, "Mom, it's them. Brother Tao and his men want to harm me. They are rebelling, rebelling!!"

Looking at Xiao Ran's furious look, the old lady smiled faintly and slowly stood up from the chair: "Don't worry, there won't be any chaos."

As she spoke, the old lady took Xiao Ran's arm and walked out the door. When they got outside, they saw Tao Ge'er had gathered everyone together. They were holding knives, guns, swords, sticks, and even hoes, sickles and other farm tools mixed in with them.

Seeing Xiao Ran supporting the old lady out, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had been in such a mess when they came here just now, and were shouting along the way that everyone should come together and chop people into meat paste with their knives, but now they all kept silent.

Xiao Ran hid behind the old lady and watched this scene. He couldn't help but frown in his heart. These people were too cowardly.

"No, what should I do if this old witch really settles the matter with just one word?" Thinking of this, Xiao Ran strode out from behind the old lady, grinning at Tao Ge'er and the others. The corners of his mouth rose, and the smile gradually began to turn ferocious.

"Whatever you do, even if you all come together, you are no match for my mother. You all must die. No one can survive!"

After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at the old lady next to him.

But the old lady lowered her eyes slightly, looking as steady as a rock. Xiao Ran was unsure for a moment.

However, as soon as he said this, everyone's faces turned ugly.

What made them even more terrified was that the old lady actually agreed with Xiao Ran's words.

Now, Tao Ge'er and his companions all felt their scalps tingling.

"Fight hard. If you don't, you'll be living a life worse than death. Don't even think about it, Brother Tao."

The people following behind Tao Ge'er were ready to fight to the death, and the others who followed him also looked at Tao Ge'er.

Tao Ge'er was in a trance for a while. Looking at the arrogant smile on Xiao Ran's face, he couldn't help but shiver all over. He raised the axe in his hand and let out a heart-wrenching roar: "Fight, chop them to death!!"

Tao Ge'er leaped over and rushed towards the old lady. He believed that as long as they had enough people and rushed forward together, even if the old lady had great magical powers, she would not be able to stop all of them.

When one person moved, everyone moved. The people who were still hesitating for a moment, either because they were forced to do so or because they were overwhelmed by their passion, rushed forward with their weapons in hand. As long as they rushed forward, even if only one person could chop the mother and son into pieces.

However, the reality is cruel.

Facing the crowd that had rushed in front of her, the smile on the old lady's face gradually froze. She did not move, but suddenly heard a frog croaking in her arms.

"Gu Gu!!"

To Xiao Ran, the frog croaking was just an ordinary sound, but to Tao Ge'er and others it was like thunderclap, with a buzzing sound in their cochlea and a dizziness in front of their eyes.

"Bang, bang..."

He could no longer hold on to the weapons in his hands and they fell heavily to the ground along with his body, unable to move for a while.

Not only Tao Ge'er, but even Xiao Ran who was standing next to him was stunned by this scene.

He stared at the golden toad in the old lady's arms, thinking, "No wonder! No wonder Li Ji said he wanted to kill this thing, isn't its power too terrifying?"

"wrong!"

Xiao Ran carefully examined the golden toad in front of him. Although it looked like a living creature, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that this thing is actually more like a jade carving.

This made him think of the [Evil Suppression Order] in his hand.

"Is this thing also a cursed object?"

Looking at the group of people lying on the ground unable to move, the old lady giggled.

"Before the massacre, I gave each of you one hundred taels of silver. I made it very clear that once you receive this money, you are mine. Since you have received my money, your lives are in my hands. I said when you have paid off the money, and when that is when you have paid off the money. It is not your turn to regret it."

"Old lady, you are so cruel. You only paid a string of copper coins for my family of three to be trapped here with you for more than a hundred years. This deal is too good!"

An old man raised his head and glared at the old lady.

Hearing this, the old lady just glanced at him and said disdainfully: “Even if it’s the life of a pig, it’s worth more than this string of money, but when I gave you the money, I said it very clearly that anyone who doesn’t accept the money will die.

For so many years, you have watched helplessly as the money was put into your pockets, closed your doors, and turned a deaf ear to the cries for help from outside. At that time, you were no longer human, but animals. The lives of animals are worthless, a copper coin is enough, and I gave you a string, which was very generous. "

Hearing the old lady's words, the old man, who was filled with indignation just now, opened his mouth wide and wanted to argue, but it seemed like a stone was stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a word.

The rest of the people lowered their heads, except Brother Tao and his companions who didn't care about these things. They were originally members of the Kidnapper Gang, the executioners who massacred the whole village, and they didn't care about conscience at all. They just stared at the old lady in front of them, worried but also holding on to hope.

However, at this moment, the old lady turned her head, waved towards Xiao Ran, took out the toad in her arms, and handed it to Xiao Ran.

"My dear son, you can kill these bastards however you want. After you kill them, we will leave this damn place. I will find you an obedient girl and let you live a good and comfortable life."

The old lady's voice was full of doting, but it made Tao Ge'er and others tremble all over.

"You have obtained the E-level cursed item [Evil Golden Toad], but the cursed item has been activated. Do you want to forcibly seize control?"

"If you fail to seize it, you will suffer a huge backlash!"

The moment his hand touched the evil golden toad, Xiao Ran also received a prompt: "Sure enough, this thing is really a cursed object."

Seeing Xiao Ran holding the toad without saying a word, the old lady asked with a smile: "Why, did you forget how to use it?"

Xiao Ran raised his head, glanced at the millstone at the door, and smiled brightly at the old lady: "Of course! No, that's how it's used!"

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Xiao Ran's eyes. He suddenly raised the toad in his hand and smashed it hard at the millstone at the door.
