The Three Tailed Demon Frog was in the cave that was on the mid waist of the mountain. It licked the nature gem beside it. This water stone that had bits of ice element was its favourite.
The appearance of dungeons was really sudden for humans but for monsters that lived here, it had always existed and it was a place that they reproduced.
The only difference was that one day they went through an intense earthquake and occasionally nice scents would come in from outside of the barrier.
This was the temptation that good food sent out to them and it was a signal for them to evolve.
The Three Tailed Demon Frog was really lucky. When it was level two it noticed a bunch of weaklings that it had never seen before. These things that were called humans were weaker than monsters that were just born but their flesh was so delicious and the energy they contained was so much for how small their bodies were.
After eating hundreds of them, the frog evolved from level two to level three.
At this level, it could be considered really strong in this dungeon.
But when all the humans in the dungeon were eaten up, the Three Tail Demon Frog thought that its happy days were over but it actually found a gem mountain with similar stats as it.
Although this place was also occupied by another level three monster, but the temptation of the gem was far more attractive to the frog than to humans. Thus, the Three Tailed Demon Frog decided to fight it.
.
Three Tailed Demon Frog went through its toughest battle since it was born. It broke its leg, its tail and even its stomach was ripped open causing it to bleed.
But it won. It killed that monster that occupied this place and occupied its dream gem mountain.
Three Tailed Demon Frog regained its health very quickly. As long as it had an endless amount of gems, it could heal any injury. Moreover, it was a water element monster that was known for its recovery ability.
It absorbed energy from the gems every day and it evolved quickly until not long ago when it turned into a level four monster.
It only used up a small bit of gems in its cave. The three tailed frog even felt like it could evolve to level nine here.
The Three Tailed Demon Frog would naturally not give up such a territory. It used its pee to occupy this area and announce to other lifeforms that it was in charge.
Actually, the three tailed demon frog was not too worried. Although it knew that its evolution level wasn’t the highest in the dungeon and there were a few others that were similar or higher than it, but they were silly. Their elements were different and they were not interested in the water and ice element gems here which was why they wouldn’t fight it to the death.
As for the other monsters, the Three Tailed Demon Frog could send them away in just a few seconds.
But recently, it faced a challenge.
At the start, it was a golden dog that was moving around. Its level wasn’t high but it was quick and cunning. It didn’t step into range and just observed from afar.
For evolved lifeforms, such an action was a provocation.
The Three Tailed Demon Frog naturally wouldn’t allow that. It attacked many times but the dog was really cunning and fled when it realised something was wrong.
One must know that the frog was not known for ranged attacks and its speed.
It went out and returned with nothing.
There was no sunrise and sunset in the dungeon but there was a difference in light. The frog noticed that a strong aura was approaching.
This made it stand up. It jumped to the peak of the gem mountain and looked in that direction.
Flame Armor Breaking Beast!
It was also a level four monster.
It was the flame element that was totally opposite it.
The frog gave out its loudest roar. It was giving the Flame Armor Breaking Beast that was about to invade its territory its strongest warning.
But what it got in reply was a sharp roar as well as the determination to fight to the death.
The frog was totally furious. This was its territory. In the monster world, invading a territory was the most serious provocation and one had to use fresh blood and life to solve it.
It jumped off the gem mountain and charged toward the beast. The two level four monsters clashed from a few hundred meters away.
At this moment, Ye Zhongming was observing them fight using his binoculars. His nervous expression over these few days finally relaxed at that moment.
Compared to the day he came, Ye Zhongming looked more tired.
The gem mine wasn’t small so the amount inside should be really tempting. But in truth, it didn’t occupy a huge area. Even the quickly growing frog didn’t use much time to run here from the mountain.
Ye Zhongming definitely couldn’t climb up the mountain to collect the gems while hiding from the frog.
If he was noticed, he was unsure if he could escape safely.
So he had to think of a way to draw the frog out to create a short chance.
Collecting gems was an art and it wasn’t so simple as just digging a piece. One had to study the gem’s path, connections, energy patterns etc. If he didn’t survive for ten years in the apocalypse, other people might need a full day to dig out a perfect gem.
Ye Zhongming was deep in thought.
He sent out Yellow Ball to provoke the frog while he hid to test out the reaction speed and running speed of this beast. He also checked out its attacks as well as the distance that it could accept before it got angry.
He spent a full three days on that.
This wasn’t much to Ye Zhongming. Although he didn’t fight such a monster in his last life, but his past experience still taught him things.
For the next period of time, he spent some time searching for suitable targets. This was until he noticed the Flame Armor Breaking Beast.
It was not an easy matter to distract a level four frog. Ye Zhongming had to search for a target that could go up against it.
The Flame Armor Breaking Beast was a good choice.
Both sides countered one another and were natural enemies. They were both similar in strength so there wouldn’t be a situation when one side was a clear winner. This would buy important time for Ye Zhongming.
But it wasn’t easy to make them fight. Their territories weren’t connected and they didn’t have hatred and a conflict of interest.
Ye Zhongming spent two days observing the beast before formulating a plan.
He grabbed a chance and stole its kid…
That was tough and dangerous and exceeding anything he did since he revived. To be honest, if not for the Flame Armor Breaking Beast having to give birth, he didn’t find a chance to draw it here.
One could imagine how furious it was after its kid was stolen. Ye Zhongming used the fact that its movement speed was slower than the frog to ride Yellow Ball to flee from its base.
As he was chased, Ye Zhongming faced more dangers than usual. He was even stopped by a level three monster and was nearly caught by the Flame Armor Breaking Beast. He had to pay a huge price to kill that monster.
But things were okay as he managed to get here. He rubbed a bunch of leaves and dirt he collected over himself and the beast that he knocked out. He then placed the small beast into the frog’s territory.
The entire process was terrifying. The trick of covering your scent wasn’t useful every single time. If you faced beasts with good sense of smell or special abilities, that attempt would fail. But Ye Zhongming was lucky. The frog was probably annoyed by Yellow Ball for the past few days. Seeing that there was no disturbance for the past few days, it was happily absorbing the gems and didn’t notice.
The frog didn’t notice but the Flame Armor Breaking Beast definitely wouldn’t lose connection with its kid. It chased here very quickly.
Although level four monsters had decent intellect but their instincts still took priority. The two monsters fought right away. One felt like the other wanted to occupy his territory and the other wanted to get its baby back. Both sides didn’t give in and became eternal enemies.
“Time to get rich.”
Ye Zhongming slapped Yellow Ball’s head. He resisted the uncomfortable situation he was in and glanced back at the battlefield. He selected a position on the mountain and rushed over.
Observe patterns, confirm the position, do it…
Ye Zhongming’s movement was like water and he didn’t hold back at all. He knew that if he stepped onto the mountain, the frog would notice it. This was different from him entering its territory. He had to complete it quickly.
30 seconds later, the first water element stone was dug out.
Ye Zhongming felt the frog’s shouting slow down. This beast noticed him!
30 seconds passed and he dug the second gem out.
The frog started to retreat. It looked at its mountain in confusion and was guessing what was happening.
The third ice gem was collected and this time it was furious. It noticed that someone was stealing its treasure.
It roared and opened its mouth. Hundreds of ice balls spat out and formed an ice pillar which smashed onto the body of the Flame Armor Breaking Beast. This was one of its skills– Giant Ice Smash
The Flame Armor Breaking Beast was caught off guard. The opposite element would cause more damage. This hit was also under huge rage which caused it to be injured and it was forced to retreat.
The frog grabbed this chance to rush back. As compared to the enemy that was invading its territory, it hated this shameless thief more.
Ye Zhongming felt that this was unfortunate and knew that he didn’t have a chance to get one more. He turned around to run down the mountain. He rode Yellow Ball and started to flee.
Yellow Ball was carrying Ye Zhongming but it wasn’t slow at all. It ran at a specified path. It had already done this several times during these few days.
After the frog jumped onto the peak, it saw Yellow Ball. It raised its three tails in rage and an extreme cold surged out from its body.
Sensing that terrifying energy fluctuation, even the Flame Armor breaking Beast roared out. It retreated a little but it didn’t leave. Its eyes were filled with anxiousness as it wanted to find its kid.
The ice gem the frog was stepping on turned colorless. After which, it shattered. Two, three, even five of them shattered. Now, the ice from its tail reached its peak. A giant ice ball formed above its head. It let out a howl and a whirlpool formed around.
Ye Zhongming turned around and his expression changed.
Extreme Ice Dragon Scroll!
He didn’t see it in his last life but that didn’t mean that he didn’t recognise it.
He didn’t expect the level four frog to actually learn such a terrifying and strong skill!
Quick quick quick!
Ye Zhongming wrapped his legs hard on the dog below him to make it move quickly. Yellow Ball cried out. It wanted to run faster but this was its limit.
The two of them left the mountain and in just a few seconds, they were hundreds of meters out. Ye Zhongming calculated. With the speed of the frog, this distance was enough.
But, that didn’t mean that the skill couldn’t chase up to them.
Hundreds of meters of distance were pretty much swept by the Extreme Ice Dragon Scroll in seconds.
Ye Zhongming pointed and an ancient tree turned into a strong treant that was hit by the skill.
200 durability turned into zero almost instantly.
Ye Zhongming’s face turned colder. When he fought the Chain Prisoner at the lake, although that fellow was strong, but it didn’t use its skills on Ye Zhongming. Even then, Ye Zhongming was nearly killed. Now that a monster that was of similar strength to it used its strongest skill, that strength was not something Ye Zhongming could go against at the current stage.
Seal: Flame Blade!
Ye Zhongming used his strongest move against the Dragon Storm that was chasing him.
An eye catching flame wrapped the sharp blade and sliced into the storm.
This terrifying storm stopped for a moment. Ye Zhongming’s eyes lit up but in the next second, his skill scattered in the storm and there was no trace of it.
That terrifying skill had already covered Ye Zhongming!
