Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 190 Silver-Patterned Jade Spirit Frog, Flies Away When Disaster Strikes [Please Subscribe]

The Scaled Frog race lives around the waters surrounding Dragon Abyss Marsh, comprising hundreds of tribes of varying sizes and millions of people.

The first tribe Zhou Chun and his group raided, the Lin Hai tribe, was a large tribe, but it didn't even rank among the top ten of all the scaled frog tribes.

According to Guo Chen, the second tribe they wanted to plunder was the Black Spear tribe, which was good enough to be ranked in the top ten.

Such a large tribe is naturally extraordinary in strength, with at least five second-tier warlocks.

However, the second-tier sorcerers of the Scaled Frog race were weak, even weaker than some second-tier demonic beasts. Guo Chen believed that with the strength of their team, they could completely defeat the Black Spear tribe.

So they flew around Longyuanze for another five or six hundred miles before arriving near the Black Spear tribe.

Just as Guo Chen had his men put away the Crimson-Eyed Dragon Vulture and was preparing to lead his men to attack,

Zhou Chun suddenly spoke up, saying, "Instructor Guo, the Black Spear Tribe is indeed formidable. What if we are no match for them? How will we retreat and escape? I suggest we discuss this as a precaution before we take action!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Chen frowned slightly and said, "Isn't that unnecessary?"

"The Scaled Frog race is cowardly and timid. Even if they were truly capable of defeating us, they wouldn't dare pursue us to the death if we wanted to leave. Otherwise, the retaliation from our sect would be something they couldn't bear!"

But Zhou Chun remained unmoved by his words and said seriously, "It's just a precautionary plan. Even if we don't use it, it won't take much effort."

Upon seeing this, Guo Chen's eyes immediately revealed a hint of displeasure.

Zhou Chun's insistence made him feel that she didn't trust him.

But he didn't immediately react; instead, he looked at the others and asked, "What do you all say?"

"Instructor Zhou has a point. It might not be a bad thing for us to be cautious."

"I also think Instructor Zhou makes a good point."

"Instructor Guo, it's up to you to decide. I'll listen to you."

The remaining three also spoke up, expressing their own opinions.

Seeing that two people supported Zhou Chun's suggestion, Guo Chen didn't say anything more and could only nod and say, "In that case, let's discuss it!"

Taking advantage of the discussion, Zhou Chun successfully looked through the map of the Longyuanze coastline in Guo Chen's hands.

By comparing the shapes of the water and land junctions on the map, he easily determined his current location and the direction of the underground river outlet.

The result pleased him greatly. If his calculations were correct, he was now less than two thousand miles away from the meeting point he had agreed upon with the clan leader, Zhou Daoyi.

If he's fast enough, he can get there in a day.

The only problem now is how to create an opportunity for myself to break away from the group for a few days.

In the rush, Zhou Chun couldn't think of any good solutions and could only take it one step at a time.

Following his instructions, the group devised a retreat plan and determined a rendezvous point after the retreat. Then, they charged towards the Black Spear tribe together.

Unlike the Lin Hai tribe, which lives in treehouses, the Hei Mao tribe lives in caves carved into the cliffs adjacent to the Great Swamp, their habitat being the mountain walls where the mountains meet the water.

This unique habitat protected them from many aquatic and terrestrial monsters, allowing their tribe to develop much better than other scaled frog tribes, and their level of civilization was also relatively higher.

Although they live in caves on the cliffs, the Black Spear tribe has also set up sentry posts in many places on the mountain.

Therefore, when Zhou Chun and his group flew over from afar, a series of urgent croaking frogs rang out from all over the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, the scaled frogs inside the cave either jumped off the cliff and into the water or hid deep inside the cave, none of them daring to show their faces.

However, this is only the practice of ordinary scaled frog aliens and most first-tier sorcerers.

Those second-tier sorcerers of the Scaled Frog race quickly took to the air to meet Zhou Chun and his group of five who were flying towards them.

There were seven of them in total, including one second-tier high-grade sorcerer and three second-tier mid-grade sorcerers.

This was Zhou Chun's first time seeing a second-tier sorcerer from the Scaled Frog race, and he couldn't help but look these aliens up and down with some curiosity.

These second-tier sorcerers were significantly larger than ordinary scaled frog aliens, almost as tall as normal human cultivators.

They were no longer naked, but were wearing leather armor sewn from the hides of demonic beasts, and carrying bone staffs, jade swords and other items made of animal bones or spirit jade. It was unknown whether these were magical artifacts of their race.

The biggest difference between them and ordinary scaled frogs is the fish scales on their bodies.

Their scales are much more vibrant, and each person's scales are a different color, including red, blue, cyan, and yellow.

At this moment, these second-tier warlocks were suspended in mid-air, and the second-tier high-grade warlock immediately started shouting questions at Zhou Chun and the others.

Zhou Chun and the others couldn't understand the frog language it spoke, so they could only look at Guo Chen.

But Guo Chen didn't bother to translate or explain; he simply frowned and responded in frog language.

It was clear that as soon as Guo Chen finished speaking, the second-tier sorcerers of the Scaled Frog race became excited, glaring at the group and shouting loudly.

Although they couldn't understand what they were saying, their expressions and tone were enough for Zhou Chun and the others to realize that they were definitely cursing them.

However, Guo Chen remained unmoved and showed no interest in the matter.

He simply stared coldly at the second-tier high-grade sorcerer, waiting for the other party to make a choice.

The second-tier high-grade sorcerer, meanwhile, had droopy eyelids, seemingly deep in thought and hesitant, and remained silent.

After this stalemate lasted for about fifteen minutes, when Guo Chen's gaze gradually grew impatient, it finally looked up at Guo Chen and barked loudly.

Upon hearing its words, the other second-tier sorcerers' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly looked at it and cried out, seemingly disagreeing with its words.

But ultimately, nothing could change its decision.

The seven second-tier sorcerers quickly turned and flew back into the cave on the mountainside.

At this moment, Guo Chen finally spoke to Zhou Chun and the others.

"They're quite sensible; they agreed to offer a batch of aquatic treasures. We'll see if what they bring out is up to par. If it doesn't satisfy us, we'll probably have to give them a good beating!"

After hearing his words, Zhou Chun and the others remained silent.

Guo Chen's behavior just now made them all feel a little unhappy.

After all, everyone here is an instructor. Even if you, Guo Chen, are Guan Cheng's confidant and the designated captain, you can't treat people so poorly.

So now they've all started a silent protest.

Upon seeing this, Guo Chen's face darkened. He swept his gaze across the faces of the group, and finally said coldly, "Since you have no objections, then wait and see what I say!"

He emphasized the word "command" very heavily.

This was clearly a reminder to the group that he, as their captain, had absolute command authority over them on this trip.

But this behavior only made the others more uncomfortable, so they still didn't answer his question.

Guo Chen's expression turned even uglier.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But the words stuck in his throat and never actually came out.

This tense atmosphere persisted for quite some time before being broken when some scaled frogs brought various aquatic treasures to the boardwalk platform built on the mountainside.

"Let's go, I'll go take a look."

Guo Chen said something in a low voice, and then flew ahead to check.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun and the others exchanged glances and then followed.

One by one, aquatic treasures were displayed on the mountain boardwalk, with more in both number and variety than at the previous Linhai Tribe.

Among them are spiritual objects that can rival the "Blood Spirit Pearl," a rare treasure of Dragon Abyss.

However, upon closer observation, Zhou Chun noticed that there was not a trace of satisfaction or joy in Guo Chen's eyes.

This stirred something within him, and he couldn't help but prepare for battle.

Sure enough, after Guo Chen looked around and put everything into his storage bag, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he croaked loudly at the two second-tier Scaled Frog alien sorcerers standing on a certain boardwalk platform.

Upon hearing his words, the second-tier sorcerers of the Scaled Frog race also showed their anger and shouted back without giving an inch.

After the two sides argued for a while, Guo Chen suddenly said, "Let's do it and teach them a lesson!"

After saying that, he immediately used the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" and wielded a golden longsword magic weapon to attack the second-tier sorcerers of the scaled frog alien race.

At the same time, Zhou Chun, who had long been prepared for battle, instantly used "Flying Dragon Strike" to attack a second-tier sorcerer.

However, he held back, not releasing the Silver Lightning Python for nothing.

However, those second-tier sorcerers of the Scaled Frog race were not fools; they had been on guard against them all along.

Seeing them suddenly attack, they not only didn't panic, but quickly used their magic to fight them.

Despite their numerical advantage, the combat strength of the second-tier sorcerers of the Scaled Frog race was hardly impressive.

Their spellcasting speed is indeed much faster than that of human cultivators, and almost as fast as that of instant-cast spells from demonic beasts.

However, they possess neither the magical artifacts of human cultivators nor the powerful physical bodies of demonic beasts.

When fighting against human cultivators, relying solely on those few spells is simply not enough.

Not to mention that Guo Chen and the other leaders of the Dragon Transformation Sect have all cultivated the second level of the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," and each of them possesses powerful close combat abilities.

Therefore, after only a few exchanges, the seven second-tier Scaled Frog alien sorcerers were in dire straits, clearly unable to withstand the attack of Guo Chen and his group of five.

Just then, spells suddenly emanated from the water below and the caves on the cliff face, as the first-tier sorcerers also made their move.

Although these first-tier spells were as ineffective as tickles to Foundation Establishment cultivators, their cumulative effect still helped the second-tier sorcerers reverse their defeat, at least giving them the strength to continue fighting.

But this angered Zhou Chun and the others.

Zhou Chun immediately had a thought, and the "Golden Cauldron Mystic Light" transformed into long golden needles that shot towards the scaled frog alien sorcerers in the water.

Instantly, screams of agony filled the air, and more than a dozen first-tier sorcerers were either killed or injured on the spot.

The others also used their methods to attack these first-tier warlocks, killing and injuring many on the spot.

This not only frightened the first-tier warlocks, but also shocked and angered several second-tier warlocks.

quack!

But then the second-tier high-grade sorcerer shouted, and several second-tier sorcerers suddenly fled towards the water below, seemingly intending to escape by using the water.

Upon seeing this, Guo Chen hurriedly shouted, "Stop them!"

With that, he immediately gave chase.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun and his companions didn't have time to think much and hurriedly launched a fierce attack on the second-tier sorcerers, intending to force them to turn around and defend themselves.

But at that moment, several powerful magical fluctuations suddenly erupted from the water below.

not good!

Zhou Chun's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly used the Dragon Scale Golden Shield magic weapon to block in front of him and fully activated the "Golden Cauldron Profound Light" to protect himself.

Immediately, a thick blue water column slammed into the Dragon Scale Golden Shield magic artifact, instantly blasting it away and then striking Zhou Chun's protective golden light.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chunren was blasted away, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a "pfft".

But things are actually not so bad for him.

At this moment, there were three people who were suddenly attacked. Although Guo Chen and Zhou Chun were injured in the sneak attack, they were not in any danger of losing their lives.

However, another instructor surnamed Wang was instantly cut in two by a huge blue water blade and died on the spot!

At this moment, the assailant who had launched the sneak attack finally revealed himself.

There stood three enormous, sapphire-blue giant frogs!

The giant frog's entire body was as clear as jade, radiating a blue aura, and its back was covered with silver patterns.

Their auras were even more astonishing; two of them were high-grade second-tier demonic beasts, and one was a mid-grade second-tier demonic beast!

"It's a Silver-Striped Jade Spirit Frog! These scaled frog aliens are actually raising this kind of demonic beast!"

Guo Chen stared at the three giant sapphire-blue frogs, his face filled with shock, and exclaimed in disbelief.

Zhou Chun didn't know what the Silver-Striped Jade Spirit Frog was.

But he knew the opportunity he had been searching for had finally arrived!

Immediately, he clutched his chest and cried out, "Instructor Guo, things have changed! Let's retreat first!"

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

Upon hearing his words, Guo Chen and the others instantly snapped out of their daze and hurriedly tried to escape as well.

But how could those second-tier sorcerers of the Scaled Frog race just stand by and watch them escape!

The three silver-patterned jade spirit frogs croaked loudly and unleashed a series of powerful water-based spells at the group, giving them no chance to escape.

Even Zhou Chun, who was the fastest to escape, was chased by two second-tier sorcerers.

Zhou Chun had only escaped for a dozen miles when he heard a scream from behind.

He looked back and saw that another instructor had been shot down by the Silver-Patterned Jade Spirit Frog, his fate unknown.

This made him dare not hesitate any longer, and he immediately made a hand seal to activate the "Flowing Golden Rainbow" secret technique.

A golden ray of light shot out from his mouth, then swirled around and landed on his body, instantly transforming him into a golden rainbow that flew away at lightning speed. In just over ten breaths, he had left the two second-tier sorcerers who had caught up far behind.

It's 12:30, which should still be considered noon! I'll try to update around 8 PM tonight!
