Thud—
The Moon Blade instantly shot out, tearing through the air. The bushes ahead split evenly with a loud rustle.
Shortly afterward, a large black-skinned frog squatting in the grass emerged.
The black-skinned frog bore numerous granular pustules on its body.
Its eyes were enveloped by enormous puffy eyelids, gazing at Ding Yan and the others with a predatory calmness.
This didn’t seem to be a mutated frog, but a mutant toad or venomous toad!
Bang!
The Moon Blade struck the black-skinned toad, producing a muffled sound.
The toad’s skin and flesh trembled violently like rippling waves.
The Moon Blade was obstructed by the flesh, then deflected to the side.
Boom!
The Moon Blade landed on the ground nearby, causing an explosion that flattened various weeds before expanding into a small-scale destructive blast!
Liang Yuan was surprised; Ding Yan’s Moon Blade seemed to have improved again.
Not only maintaining its sharpness but also incorporating the explosive power of the Air Cannon Fist.
"It’s a frog monster!"
Failed to strike effectively, Ding Yan’s face changed slightly, shouting in frustration.
"Let me try!"
Zhao Kai, itching to fight, stepped forward and shouted.
Then, an icy mist rapidly spread over his hands!
He slapped the ground forcefully the next moment!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
An expansive layer of ice spread across the ground.
The air filled with countless ice flowers and ice blades.
In the blink of an eye, they approached the black-skinned toad.
The toad remained in its puddle, refusing to move.
Its bulging eye sacs suddenly widened.
The next moment, its enormous mouth opened abruptly.
Puh—
The mouth opened, and its neck swelled dramatically.
Its black pustules emitted a burst of dark light.
Suddenly, the black pustules burst with a squelch, spraying black venom onto the ground!
Sizzle, sizzle...
The black venom splashed onto the ground, producing a corrosive sound.
The ice layer on the ground disintegrated, and the venom blocked all the ice mist.
The venom even retaliated, attacking Zhao Kai!
Zhao Kai was startled and quickly stepped back, forming ice cones in his hand and throwing them!
Thud, thud, thud!
The ice cones shot out, constantly aiming at the black-skinned toad.
The toad flipped its eyelids and sucked in, creating a rapid blur.
Bam, bam, bam!
Three muffled sounds and three blurred shadows quickly flashed. The three ice cones shattered, turning into scattered ice powder!
Zhao Kai’s face twitched: "This trick again."
These frog and toad monsters have impressive tongue-releasing skills.
Last time at Meidu Garden, we witnessed this tongue-releasing power.
Meeting again, Zhao Kai thought he’d improved enough to overpower these toad monsters, but these creatures were different from the mutant frogs in the building.
Not only could they release their tongues but also spray venom from their backs.
This made things tricky; touching them was dangerous, and long-range attacks seemed ineffective.
His ice mist couldn’t freeze the venom.
The venom appeared to have strong corrosive properties.
Liang Yuan said: "Let me handle this."
He patted Zhao Kai’s shoulder and, circulating his Spiritual Power, quickly condensed the {Fire Dragon Dance} Rune in midair!
Whoosh!
A fireball suddenly materialized.
Ding Yan and Zhao Kai turned their heads, looking stunned.
"Go!"
Liang Yuan pushed his hand forward, and the fireball pulled out a long fire dragon, spinning and flying, crashing violently onto the black-skinned toad.
The toad panicked, spraying venom from its body again.
The sizzling sound rose, but it was instantly consumed and dried by the flame!
The toad, overtaken by flames, finally dared not stay in the puddle, leaping quickly toward a larger puddle in the distance.
In just a few jumps, it reached the large puddle.
Splash, it plunged into the puddle.
But the flame didn’t extinguish; the Fire Dragon Dance burned intensely.
The high temperature quickly evaporated the water in the puddle.
The toad writhed violently, rolling desperately.
But all in vain; the puddle soon contained only a blackened lump, motionless.
Zhao Kai couldn’t help but say: "Brother Liang, when did you learn Fire Attribute Superpower?"
Ding Yan was equally amazed: "Liang Yuan, aren’t you a Space Ability User?"
Liang Yuan walked toward the puddle while speaking: "Once Spiritual Power reaches 25 points, one can Master the Rune Skills through Rune Technology."
"This skill is learned from comprehending the Rune on the Rune Bone."
He suddenly recalled something, handing {Red Pig Wheel} and {Fire Dragon Dance} to Zhao Kai and Ding Yan.
"Each of you takes one and see if you can study the skills within."
"Zhao Kai, you got the {Fire Dragon Dance} skill I just used, requiring Spiritual Power to activate. Is your Spiritual Power reaching 25 points? Practice more when you return."
"Ding Yan, yours is the rune bone of the mutant wild boar you killed. From it, I learned the {Red Pig Wheel} skill."
"But this skill differs from {Fire Dragon Dance}, requiring high Constitution and high agility."
"Your Empowerment Superpower should belong to the physical class. You may learn it but don’t force it."
The two accepted the rune bones joyfully.
Zhao Kai said: "These rune bones can help us comprehend other attribute skills?"
Ding Yan exclaimed: "If true, then we could also learn Fire Attribute skills?"
Liang Yuan shook his head: "Not necessarily. Based on my experience, even if you comprehend the Rune Skills, they probably won’t be Fire Attribute skills. They might still be related to your own attributes."
"Zhao Kai might comprehend {Ice Dragon Dance} instead of {Fire Dragon Dance}."
"Ding Yan might not learn {Red Pig Wheel}, but another explosive agility skill."
"Try studying them and see."
They nodded. Zhao Kai asked: "How did you manage to use different attribute skills?"
Liang Yuan smiled without answering: "Perhaps it’s due to different superpowers; I’m unsure of the specifics. You might understand once you grasp rune skills."
"Alright, explore the puddle and find out why the mutated toad refused to leave."
