Moral and Ethics
"Too much talk is useless, let's get started, or else it'll be troublesome when the big toad arrives." Fang Xian took the lead in making a move, silently reciting an incantation that even he himself found difficult to understand. With a wave of his large arm, he unleashed the "Tianshi Talisman Method".
As usual, 【Inferno Curse】 and 【One Yang Finger】 followed closely, dealing a total of 400 points of damage in one round.
The girl in yellow was obviously frightened by this injury and no longer dared to underestimate her opponent.
"Rise, snake!"
Only a faint tongue-like object flew out from her arm and bit Fang Xian.
87 points of damage, nothing to worry about, but this is a poison attribute attack, Fang Xian's face immediately turned green and entered a poisoned state.
"Keep going!" Fang Xian shouted loudly, uttering some sort of incantation, and his second move was launched.
"Detoxifying Mantra!" Ling'er used a detoxifying technique on Fang Xian's body.
"Ling'er, this poison doesn't need an antidote, just let it take its course and die..."
"Oh... this... sorry... learned from Mizuki, seeing poison makes me want to neutralize it."
The girl in yellow saw that her opponent was tough and unleashed her ultimate move in the second round.
"Three Corpses Poisonous Insect!"
This move is basically like a poison gas bomb, a bunch of purple and green smoke suddenly explodes.
Zhong Zhao was hit again, and Fang Xian was injured. His face, which had just returned to its normal flesh color, turned purple once more.
"Clean Clothes Spell!" Ling Er's reaction was getting faster and faster.
"Fang Xian vomited black blood while complaining: '...This is a Three Corpse Poison Wasp, it can't be cured.'"
Ling'er: "Sorry."
No choice, this round Fang Xian can only treat himself, and Lin Yue has to rely on her one Yang finger output.
The yellow-shirted woman has only these two tricks, without the support of the big toad, she is very fragile. Fang Xian's side is relatively easy, the difficulty here was originally designed for Li Xiao Yao and Lin Yue Ru, now with Zhao Ling Er added, it's easy and pleasant.
But Zhao Ling'er, who can instantly dispel negative states... doesn't have much use either.
The game that was not very difficult in the first place has become even more relaxing and enjoyable after this, except for Fang Xian being affected by various poisonous insects, the two little wives passed through like they were playing house.
Soon, the woman in yellow shirt entered a dying state, paralyzed on the ground and raised her hand, with a face full of resentment and regret: "What a pity... what a pity... just one step short..."
"Damn you, sister-in-law!!" Fang Xian's fifth Heavenly Master Talisman was ruthlessly slapped onto her forehead, retrieving the tragic life.
Battle ended, gained 2400 experience points and 1500 Wen coins.
Zhang Si upgraded and learned the technique of "Returning to One's Original Heart"
Zhao Ling'er upgraded and learned Wind Rolls Clouds.
Lin Yue Ru upgraded and learned Qian Kun Yi Pao (throws 5000 coins to attack the enemy, dealing certain damage).
"The universe is overturned with a mighty throw." Lin Yue was already starving and parched after just finishing the fight.
"Not at all, not even a bit..."
Ling'er looked thoughtful: "Xian Gege, what does she mean by 'only one step away'?"
"Fang Xian shook his head: 'Don't bother with her, she's a thoroughly bad person.'"
Ling'er murmured: "In her last moment, I suddenly felt that she wasn't as bad as she looked. Didn't you tell me not to judge people by their appearance?"
"I understand her story, but you'd better not hear it, it's too heartbreaking." Fang Xian no longer dwelled on the matter and turned back to continue on with the scholar.
This time when I turned back, there was no one in sight.
"Ugly egg." Fang Xian sighed and scolded, "In vain was San Niang's painstaking care, what kind of thing has been raised?"
"Hey, big brother, don't say that... scholars are all timid."
Fang Xian started talking again: "Ling'er, why did San Niang raise them? It was to fight against the enemy forces. Now they run away when they see a woman who looks ugly, how will they face those powerful forces in the future?"
Lin Yue Ru also felt that Fang Xian was reasonable this time: "Not bad, even small matters can reveal a person's character, he has such courage and insight, in the future when he enters officialdom, he will inevitably be corrupted and become another corrupt official."
Ling'er seemed to have finally understood something: "So what that official said... San Niang thought it was simple?"
"Hmm, relying solely on one's faith, relying solely on words and personal example... San Niang has indeed made things simple." Fang Xian said no more, that bookish scholar ran off and it was up to his own luck whether he could make it back to Yangzhou alive.
Three people entered the cave and continued on their way. The Golden Toad Ghost Mother was already dead, so the remaining stupid toads were easy to deal with.
This cave follows the consistent tradition of the Xianjian world, no hitting maze is not comfortable.
After using more than a dozen mountain god fusion techniques, the three finally arrived at the exit of the cave.
A toad that is several sizes larger than a normal human sits stupidly here, looking at the three people in confusion.
"Hit him." The direction swung his axe again, "This toad is nothing but thick-skinned."
"Lazy brother...... I think he is a good clam." Ling'er discerned loyalty and treachery again.
"Can you see that too?!" Fang Xian also tried to learn from Ling Er, staring at the toad's face, which was full of warts and made him feel sick, with mucus dripping from it...
This toad is also admiring Fang Xian in the same way.
One person, one shellfish, and a mysterious spark was rubbed out between them.
"Sorry, brother." Fang Xian hurriedly started chanting before vomiting.
"Wait a minute, let's talk reason." The big toad unexpectedly spoke human language, and responded so quickly, with such logic, what kind of monster is this?
"... Fang Xian sighed to the two young women on either side of him after a brief moment of shock, "Did you see? Did you see? After coming to this godforsaken place for so long, the first thing that speaks reasonably is actually a toad!"
Ling'er had an attitude of equality for all living things deep in her bones. At this moment, she ignored the toad's appearance and asked quietly: "Hey little toad, what do you want to say?"
"Hmm...cough...hiss..." The toad cleared his throat before speaking, spitting out a wad of phlegm, the disgusting sound making people feel nauseous.
"Three, I was forced to," the toad's voice was surprisingly calm. "I'm just a toad who eats poisonous insects for a living, and after thousands of years of cultivating my heart and nature, I vaguely became a spirit. The things that happened afterwards were all because I was forced to."
"It sounds like you're a good turtle who doesn't care about the world." Lin Yueru put away her whip, "This frame probably won't be needed again."
"Must fight, must fight, this is a must-fight situation. Even if he's a good guy, still gotta fight."
"Are you reasonable or not?" The toad retorted.
"......Then you go on and talk." Fang Xian was sprayed by the monster's overbearing and unreasonable words, but he still remained calm.
The toad continued: "I was originally thinking about my life in the mountain cave, but one day a strange woman suddenly appeared, crying and wailing. I jumped over to comfort her and used my tongue to lick the wounds on her face."
"Her face... Are you sure her face wasn't licked by you!!!"
"Have you seen that woman?" The toad's voice trembled slightly, even the calm him had something to fear.
"I've seen her, I'll take care of her." Fang Xian took a defensive stance, "Want revenge? Let's have a good fight."
The toad felt relieved and said with a sense of ease: "Heaven had already doomed her fate, dying at your hands wouldn't be unjust, thank you three for helping me break free from this moral and ethical predicament."
