Chapter 262: Strategies to Break the Situation

Just as Mo Juren was about to switch to another spell to expel these monsters, the water-colored toads, sensing the danger, suddenly began to chirp collectively.

For a moment, Mo Juren felt dizzy amid the "cooing" and "cooing" sounds that directly invaded his consciousness!
These water-colored toads actually have the ability to attack the monks' consciousness with sound, just like the anaconda.

Mo Juren tried the same old trick again, but no matter how much he stimulated the tiger's mouth acupoint, it was of no use, because there were too many water toads, and the chirping sounds continued one after another.

Amidst the sound attack, the light of the Four Symbols defensive formation became dimmer and dimmer. Mo Juren felt annoyed and decided to take out the Heavenly Thunder Seeds from his storage bag to blow them all away.

However, thinking of the powerful force of Tianlei Zi, he was afraid that even he would not be able to escape death in this closed cave, so he forced himself to suppress the impulse.

He rummaged around in the storage bag and pulled out a long object. Without thinking, Mo Juren used it as a whip and hit the water-colored toads crawling outside the formation.

As the whip was hit, a whistling sound was heard. When the noisy water toads heard the sound, they jumped away immediately as if they had encountered their natural enemy.

Mo Juren was shocked and took a closer look at the thing in his hand. He discovered that it was the anaconda he had killed. It was the fleshy ball on its tail that made the sound of breaking through the air when it twitched violently.

With this discovery, Mo Juren swung his snake whip repeatedly, and soon drove away all the water-colored toads that were surrounding the formation.

Those water toads left the corner where Mo Juren was, but still stayed on the shore unwillingly, and did not go back into the lake. They jumped far away on the other side of the lake, as if looking for an opportunity.

Without the constant chirping of these toads, Mo Juren was finally able to calm down.

Wang Ying from Huadaowu and Meng Hui from Jujianmen did not make any movement after they sealed the cave entrance. They were probably trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife, waiting for these water toads to kill them.

Apart from the sealed entrance to the cave, the only connection to the outside world is the hole right above the island in the middle of the lake. However, that place should not be so easy to enter and exit, otherwise Wang Ying would not have left such a big loophole for him to escape easily.

Right now we have to find a way to get rid of these troublesome water toads.

Mo Juren picked up the tail of the poisonous snake in his hand to study it and found that the fleshy ball on the tail was a hard substance similar to nails. It was hollow inside and contained some loose structures similar to reeds, which would make sounds when vibrated.

However, Mo Juren recalled that when this evil snake attacked him, it also made a dizzying sound, which was far more than just a whistling sound when it was swung.

After repeated research, Mo Juren finally discovered its secret. As long as magic power is injected into specific places, the ball of flesh will continue to vibrate.

When the vibration reaches a certain speed, the meat ball will make strange sounds that can affect the monk's consciousness as if it has activated some kind of skill.

Moreover, this strange sound is directional and only works in a certain direction. It is okay to hold it in your hand.

When the water toads in the distance heard the sound, they acted as if they had encountered their natural enemies, and they quickly jumped away to a farther place.

Mo Juren accidentally discovered the wonderful use of the meat ball on the snake's tail and was overjoyed. He cut off the useful part of the meat ball from the snake's tail with a sword, and then held the meat ball in his hand and slowly approached the water-colored toads.

As the sound of the meat ball in Mo Juren's hand became louder and louder, the water toads finally couldn't hold on any longer and rushed into the lake one after another, making "plop" and "plop" sounds.

Soon, all the water-colored toads jumped back into the lake, and not even one could be seen on the shore. Mo Juren breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put the meat ball away, which was a rare treasure that could emit sound attacks.

Next, Mo Juren looked around and thought about how to escape.

Mo Juren had no intention of digging open the entrance to the buried cave for the time being, because the two men were most likely hiding inside the cave, waiting for Mo Juren to be killed by the group of monsters, and then coming in to reap the fruits of victory.

There are only two ways to break the impasse now.

One way is to continue pretending to be dead in there, waiting for the two men to come back and kill them in one fell swoop.

Another way is to try to get out from somewhere else, then enter the cave from the entrance, block the two men in the cave and kill them by surprise.

Thinking of this, Mo Juren turned his gaze to the top of the small island in the middle of the lake, and looked at the huge hole through which light came in.

Next, Mo Juren tentatively stepped onto the two stone pillars at the bottom of the lake again and found that the water toads were still the same as before and had no reaction at all. It seemed that this was a safe position set up by the predecessors.

Next, he jumped to the small island in the middle of the lake with confidence and picked the last remaining Tianling Fruit.

In order to stimulate Wang Ying to take action in advance, Mo Juren did not actually put the real Tianling Fruit into the safe storage bag, but only put it in a wooden box with a similar appearance.

Now that he had four Heavenly Spirit Fruits in his hands, Mo Juren couldn't help but smile with pride.

In addition to the ripe fruits, the tree of the Tianling Fruit is also very beautiful. Mo Juren wishes he could transplant the entire tree into his own cave.

But it was just a thought. After all, the fruit tree was too huge and had a complex root system. It was difficult to separate it from the small island in the middle of the lake. Moreover, even if the whole tree could be taken out, it would not fit into the space of a medium or low-quality storage bag.

After thinking for a while, Mo Juren decided to give it a try and cut off several pieces of roots from the mangrove, broke off a few small branches and leaves, stuffed them all into the storage bag and took them away.

Standing on the small island in the middle of the lake, you can see a huge hole in the sky when you look up, as if it goes straight to the sky.

Mo Juren first tried to summon the Traveling Cloud Boat, but after stepping on it, it couldn't fly at all.

The floating formation pattern inside the Xingyun Boat seemed to have failed and there was no reaction at all.

It seems that there should be a no-fly formation in the entire forbidden area, which makes all these floating and flying formations ineffective.

But then he remembered that at the stone wall and bronze door, those spirit birds and later the black spirit vultures could fly safely, without being affected by the no-fly zone at all.

If that's the case, then wouldn't it be possible to let the Cloud-Winged Bird come out and try its luck?
Thinking of this, Mo Juren immediately summoned the cloud-winged bird from his spirit beast bag... (End of this chapter)
