Chapter 39: Whether we can win this gamble depends on this one chance!
Instead of answering Yuan Hong's question, the toad demon looked greedily at the valley behind the seven monsters.
He could feel that the innate energy emanating from the valley was becoming increasingly concentrated.
"It seems this treasure is about to be revealed!"
The toad demon muttered to himself, his eyes growing increasingly fervent.
Upon seeing this, the expressions of Yuan Hong and the other seven monsters all became solemn.
Before the Seven Monsters of Meishan could react, the toad demon roared fiercely:
"If you know what's good for you, get out of my way!"
"boom!"
With just a roar, the surrounding rocks collapsed and tumbled down.
The violent impact instantly forced Yuan Hong and the other seven monsters back.
After regaining their footing, the Seven Devils were still shaken.
This toad demon is far more powerful than them.
Seeing the seven monsters' terrified and uneasy expressions, the toad demon chuckled coldly, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain.
Judging from his appearance, the demon didn't take Yuan Hong and the other seven monsters seriously at all.
"Big brother, what should we do?"
In his panic, the pig demon Zhu Zizhen asked anxiously.
It was obvious to everyone that this toad demon had come for the treasures in the valley.
At this moment, Chen Changsheng was still digging for treasure inside.
If they had retreated at this moment and not opposed this toad demon, they could have saved their lives.
However, if they were to try to stop them, a great battle with the toad demon would inevitably break out.
At that point, their fate could be uncertain.
"Even though that kid has an extraordinary background, it's not worth risking our lives for him, is it?"
Before Yuan Hong could speak, the centipede demon Wu Long spoke up.
They already knew that Chen Changsheng was a disciple of the Jie Sect, and even a disciple of Zhao Gongming, the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect.
Such a status naturally led them to cease hostilities with Chen Changsheng.
But now, this great toad demon has attacked, and its strength has reached the level of a Xuanxian (mysterious immortal).
It's simply beyond their ability to stop.
If we try to stop them by force, we could very well lose our lives here.
In Wu Long's view, doing this was really not worthwhile.
"Fifth Brother is right!"
"Let's just put this toad in there. It'll be the same if he faces Fellow Daoist Chen directly."
"It's a dog demon," Dai Li said.
Upon hearing this, the snake demon Chang Hao continued:
"Perhaps this toad will retreat once it learns of Fellow Daoist Chen's identity."
"After all, he is the disciple of Zhao Gongming, the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect."
"No matter how domineering this toad is, it wouldn't dare to provoke a powerful figure like Zhao Gongming, would it?"
At this moment, the bull demon Jin Dasheng said:
"Gentlemen, wouldn't it be a bit unfair to just let a toad in like this?"
"Meishan is our territory, after all. It's not up to him, this toad, to intrude!"
Upon hearing this, the sheep demon Yang Xian nodded and said:
"Third Brother is right."
"We really can't just let a toad in like that!"
Upon hearing this, the dog demon Dai Li scoffed and coldly said:
"What can we do if we don't let him in?"
"We are only at the True Immortal level, while this toad is a Profound Immortal."
"Does knowingly invite death, yet still try to stop them?"
For a time, the demons argued endlessly.
Some suggested letting this toad demon with the cultivation of a Xuanxian enter the valley.
Some people disagreed, feeling that doing so would be unfair to Chen Changsheng.
Upon hearing what the demons said, Yuan Hong's expression turned solemn, and his thoughts raced.
His attitude toward Chen Changsheng changed drastically after he learned of Chen Changsheng's identity and background.
If it were anyone else, letting this toad demon in would be fine.
But Chen Changsheng is different.
Yuan Hongke was still thinking of using this connection to curry favor with the Jie Sect.
After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in Yuan Hong's eyes. His gaze darkened, and he said coldly:
"Fellow Daoist Chen is still inside retrieving treasure!"
"It would be too cruel and unjust for us to let him in at this time."
Upon hearing this, Dai Li and the other six demons immediately understood Yuan Hong's implied meaning.
Although some of them advocated avoiding war.
But since Yuan Hong, as the eldest brother, had spoken, the battle lines were united.
Seeing that the demons had stopped arguing, Yuan Hong's gaze sharpened, and he stared directly at the toad demon, muttering to himself:
"Oh shit!"
"Let's give it our all."
"Whether we win this bet or not depends on this one!"
Meanwhile, the toad demon, seeing that Yuan Hong and the other seven monsters had been grumbling for a long time without making way, had his already limited patience worn thin.
The next moment, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
"snort!"
"boom……"
Immediately following, a powerful aura unique to the Xuanxian level emanated from the toad demon, pressing down on all directions as if it were a tangible force.
Under its imposing aura, Yuan Hong and the other seven monsters felt the pressure increase exponentially, and even felt a little breathless.
"Seven noisy clowns!"
"I'm saying this one last time, get out of my way!"
The toad demon roared, its voice like thunder.
"Giggle!"
Seeing this, Yuan Hong clenched his teeth and glared fiercely at the toad demon, saying:
"A toad!"
"This is the territory of my Meishan brothers."
"You won't be allowed to act so presumptuously here!"
As soon as Yuan Hong uttered these words, the toad demon burst into laughter:
"Ha ha!"
He suddenly stopped laughing, his expression turning cold and stern.
"Mere ants!"
"How dare you speak so arrogantly in front of me?"
"court death!"
Before the words had even finished, the toad demon, without waiting for Yuan Hong and the others to reply, took the initiative to attack.
"Boom!"
In an instant, terrifying poisonous mist spread out from its body, and the surrounding vegetation was directly corroded into dust under the cover of this poisonous mist.
"Brothers! Form ranks!"
Upon seeing this, Yuan Hong immediately shouted.
"boom!"
The next moment, Yuan Hong stretched out his figure, and his body transformed directly into a giant white-haired ape tens of feet tall, and he unleashed the Water and Fire Cudgel in one fell swoop.
Seeing this, Dai Li and the other six demons also acted quickly.
In a short while, Dai Li transformed into a gigantic dog, hundreds of feet tall, spewing flames from its mouth.
Jin Dasheng revealed his true form as a blue ox, its horns sharp and gleaming with cold light!
Zhu Zizhen's creature, on the other hand, transformed into a giant wild boar with tusks as sharp as knives, exuding a chilling aura!
Wu Long transformed into a centipede with a thousand legs, his body enveloped in poisonous mist.
Chang Hao transformed into a large white-scaled python, its tongue flicking in and out.
Yang Xian's two horns glowed, forming a protective light curtain.
"Rumble..."
Immediately afterwards, the seven monsters released their own magical power one after another.
Upon closer inspection, the seven powerful demonic energies intertwined in mid-air, forming a net that then enveloped the toad demon!
"A trivial skill!"
The toad demon scoffed at this.
"call out!"
Then, his abdomen suddenly swelled, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of venom.
In no time, the dark green venom was splashed onto the descending magic net.
"Sizzle..."
Before long, under the corrosive effect of the toad demon's venom, the large net woven from the seven monsters' magical powers was completely corroded away.
"what?"
Upon witnessing this scene, the Seven Devils were shaken to their core, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.
