Chapter 815 The Great Artist, Crimson Toad Emperor?

Chapter 815 The Great Artist, Crimson Toad Emperor?

"Hmm? You mean that one-horned ice salamander?" Ye Nanxiao finally remembered the name of the soul beast in front of him.

It has sharp horns on its head, survives in the ice, and its thick tail is enough to swing through the ice to create a small crack to use as a nest.

"Yes! Did you see the dark marks on that fish's tail? Those are the marks from the corrosion caused by that damned toad's fire poison!" Snow Wolf exclaimed excitedly.

"I'll never forget that stinky toad's handiwork! Go after it!!!"

Ye Nanxiao had no doubts. He pushed off with his toes and rushed towards a corner of the ice salamander.

"Haku?"

Hearing the sound, the ice salamander turned around and saw Ye Nanxiao chasing after it at top speed.

"Hakuhaku!"

Although it didn't sense any killing intent from Ye Nanxiao, the Ice Salamander still adopted a defensive stance, its sharp horn aimed at Ye Nanxiao.

"Little Fish, have you ever seen a giant toad with fire-breathing eyes?" Ye Nanxiao stopped, conjured a piece of floating ice in front of his chest with his left hand, and threw it out.

The tiny ice cube, containing one ten-thousandth of the power of the Frozen Flower, instantly attracted the attention of a small ice salamander.

"It's practically a rice ball made by Tao Moulang. No wonder it's from the Ice God Realm." Ye Nanxiao said with admiration, looking at the corner of the ice salamander that was already lying on the ground wagging its tail.

Snow Empress rolled her eyes at Ye Nanxiao, annoyed. "Trying to bribe the soul beasts of the far north with Frozen Flowers? You think you're so rich and powerful!"

The snow wolf darted quickly to the one-horned ice salamander, forced what it thought was a friendly smile, and asked, "One-horned fish, tell me, where did you meet that stinky toad!"

The ice salamander swallowed the ice block containing the energy of the Frozen Flower, raised its head and looked at the snow wolf seriously. Then, with its belly pressed against the ice surface, it slid down in front of Ye Nanxiao with a push of its tail, deliberately touching Ye Nanxiao from the side.

"Hakuku!"

A piece of ice-cold salamander clung to Ye Nanxiao's trouser leg.

Ye Nanxiao was also curious about this kind of soul beast that could only be found deep in the glacial crevasses. Although its appearance was somewhat novel, it did not prevent the one-horned ice salamander from becoming quite handsome.

Facing Ye Nanxiao's outstretched hand, the ice salamander rolled over, revealing its thick, furry belly. The pure energy within it told it that the person before it was the master of the glacier, and a special warmth made it feel very attached to him.

"Goodness, a fluffy belly, how can I resist? Watch my professional technique!" Ye Nanxiao used the cat-petting technique that Yun Qian had honed for a long time.

Watching Ye Nanxiao's skillful movements, Xue Di asked uncertainly, "Are you sure your cat-petting techniques are suitable for fish?"

"It's all the same principle, no matter how furry they are!" Ye Nanxiao said firmly.

The little ice salamander quickly fell into Ye Nanxiao's hands, its short, thick forelimbs slapping its belly like a spoiled Labrador.

"See! Even the furry creatures are won over by professional belly-rubbing techniques!" Ye Nanxiao said proudly.

Xue Di blinked, thought for a moment, and then a charming smile appeared on her face. "Xiao'er, I remember, foxes are canines, and they're also fluffy, right?"

Ye Nanxiao, who was slacking off, suddenly shuddered. He turned to look at Xue Di and sensed something was wrong from her burning gaze!

This woman! She's trying to use a belly-rubbing technique on me!

"Ahem, little fish, tell your brother, who hurt your tail?" Ye Nanxiao ignored Xue Di's burning gaze and flicked a corner of the ice salamander's soft belly as he asked.

"It must be that stinky toad! Only the toad's fire poison could leave such richly patterned scars!" the snow wolf said confidently as it approached.

Upon hearing the snow wolf's words, Ye Nanxiao and Xue Di focused their attention on the tail of a corner of the ice salamander.

On the tail of the ice salamander, there was a pattern resembling a five-petaled flower. This pattern did not seem to be a coincidence, as the distance between the five petals was almost the same, and the pattern of the flower's stamen was also faintly outlined.

"This Crimson Toad King is also an artist? A tattoo master?" Ye Nanxiao exclaimed in amazement.

These days, even soul beasts have evolved to such a profound level?

Now you can add dazzling patterns when using soul skills?

"No, it's just that the toad was special. It had a bit of good luck and developed intelligence ahead of schedule," the snow wolf said, shaking its head.

"Awakening intelligence?" Ye Nanxiao looked up at the snow wolf.

"Back when I was passing by and fighting with that stinky toad, it wasn't even 100,000 years old yet. I even mocked it for not being able to talk, but after I finished speaking, that stinky toad cursed me out with human language! That's when I found out that this stinky toad had some kind of opportunity in its early years, swallowing some kind of immortal herb or something, and thus gained the ability to speak ahead of time," Snow Wolf said angrily.

"I, the Emperor, can't even out-argue a toad! That toad has been able to survive in the human world for a while by relying on its ability to talk. The moves it uses are just like humans'; it shouts twice before attacking."

Ye Nanxiao rubbed his chin. Why did this sound so much like someone shouting the name of a move before releasing a soul skill?

Has spending too much time in the human world made you a bit more immature and childish?

"That's right, you have to shout out the moves to get the special bonus." Ye Nanxiao looked down and continued to observe the wounds on the Ice Salamander's tail.

"Little White, when you fought that toad before, did you get any scars?"

A cross appeared on the snow wolf's forehead, and it pounced on Ye Nanxiao, biting his shoulder!

"My fur is as hard as cold stone! How could a mere red toad possibly break through my defenses!"

"What kind of look is that! Don't look! Don't think about it!"

Ye Nanxiao picked up the ruffled snow wolf and carried her on his shoulder.

One of the ice salamanders hugged its tail and told Ye Nanxiao about the origin of the scar on its tail.

Ye Nanxiao frowned, nodding occasionally, his gaze drifting towards Xue Di.

Looking at the scene before her, Xue Di suddenly recalled the time when a child complained to the teacher.

"This fish said that when it was looking for food, it went to a deeper place, thinking of expanding its territory, and then it ran into a red-headed toad. The toad tried to grab it when it saw it, and they started fighting," Xue Di translated.

"So, this fish's cultivation level is almost 40,000 years old. It was able to fight the Crimson Toad King and then run away. I suppose the Crimson Toad King's cultivation level is also around 40,000 years old," Ye Nanxiao said after thinking for a moment.

"The Crimson Toad Emperor, which is 40,000 years old, evolved into an emperor tens of thousands of years ahead of schedule. That must be just as Xiaobai said, because it received some kind of opportunity. Otherwise, it wouldn't have become an emperor so quickly. Ordinary emperors at least have to cross the threshold of 50,000 years and stand out from the crowd to have a chance to become an emperor." The Snow Emperor raised her hand, and several snowflakes flew out from her fingertips and flew into the depths of the glacier.

Moments later, small bursts of soul power began to appear deep within the glacier.

Deep within the glacier, a passageway has been carved out by deformation.

The latest novel is first published here!

The Frozen Flower shimmered around Snow Empress's neck. With the help of the Frozen Flower's power, Snow Empress was able to alter the internal structure of the glacier to a certain extent and open up a path. However, the ratio between the altered terrain and the energy consumed was astonishing.

Otherwise, Ye Nanxiao could have opened up the glacier from the very beginning.

"Take this fish with you. Call me if you need anything. I'm too tired." Snow Empress floated to Ye Nanxiao's side, grabbed the snow wolf, and gave Ye Nanxiao a light kiss on the lips before turning into two beams of light and returning to Ye Nanxiao's body.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xue'er." Ye Nanxiao stroked the frozen flower on his neck, then patted a corner of the ice salamander lying at his feet. "Big guy, would you like to lead the way for me? There's some snack from earlier!"

"Haku!" A horned ice salamander lay on the ice, its tail exerting a little force as it slid forward, not forgetting to look back at Ye Nanxiao.

Ye Nanxiao nodded, wrapped his cloak tighter, and formed floating ice beneath his feet before following.

Now that we have clues, there's no need to lurk in every crack.

Although the Ice Salamander was somewhat puzzled as to why there was a complete passage in the glacier, it didn't waste its thinking ability on this while it was traveling.

With the help of the Ice Salamander, Ye Nanxiao noticed the pungent smell of fire poison in the air a quarter of an hour later.

The odor, even stronger than sulfur, could be clearly smelled even in this low-temperature environment.

"Such concentrated fire poison!" Ye Nanxiao took out a mask from his storage ring and put it on. The deeper he went, the more concentrated the fire poison in the air became, turning orange-yellow.

One of the ice salamanders seemed unable to bear the fiery poison in the air, and it thrashed its tail restlessly.

Ye Nanxiao reached out and touched the Ice Salamander, transferring some soul power to it, forming a protective film on the surface of the Ice Salamander's body.

After isolating itself from the free-floating fire poison energy in the air, the Ice Salamander calmed down and resumed leading the way.

The widened road allowed Yijiao Bingni to quickly lead Ye Nanxiao to an ice cave filled with fiery poison.

The ice cave is connected to the surrounding cracks, clearly indicating that it was carved out by external forces.

"Hakuhaku!" One of the ice salamanders pointed to the depths of the cave, its two forelimbs moving rapidly.

"Look how excited the child is. It seems that the Crimson Toad King is right here." Ye Nanxiao reached out and pressed down on the excited corner of the ice salamander, lifted it onto his floating ice, and then slowly floated into the cave.

The cave was very large, about three meters high and wide, with a smooth and flat ice surface. Tiny lines of fire could be seen faintly, which were the remnants of fire poison.

Following the residual fire poison on the ice, Ye Nanxiao hurried along, but the length of the cave was somewhat beyond his expectations. He drifted for a full half-hour and still could not find his destination.

"They dug this deep? Are they trying to transform into a dragon?" Ye Nanxiao clicked his tongue in amazement; the distance they had flown all the way here had already exceeded thirty meters.

"Xiao'er, the fire poison on the ice wall is in the form of patterns," the Snow Emperor reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao turned to examine the ice wall closely. The fire poison that seemed to emerge as if breathing was faintly combining into individual patterns.

"Flowers, birds, beasts, mountains, and wide clouds—this Crimson Toad Emperor is also a great artist?" Ye Nanxiao suddenly had a feeling that he had entered a historical site, and the fire poison patterns on the walls were murals.

"Now that explains why this cave is so long—it was for carving designs on the ice walls."
