Chapter 277: Pincer Attack

Li Yuanqing had just left and was completely unaware of the danger behind him. After the golden-eyed toad opened its eyes, it gently puffed up its chin like a balloon. He looked at Li Yuanqing quietly with his raised chin.

After Li Yuanqing walked more than ten meters away, the little guy suddenly opened his mouth and a golden lightning shot out. It was unknown what he spat out.

The golden lightning instantly arrived behind Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing suddenly turned around and a golden light appeared in his hand, blocking the golden lightning. The distance between the two of them widened after a slight collision.

Li Yuanqing's expression was solemn as he looked at the golden little fellow. This little thing could actually unleash such power. It was really not to be underestimated.

The little toad, who was as black as ink just now, was covered in a layer of golden armor in the blink of an eye. It glared at him fiercely. This enemy in front of him, this uninvited guest, had inexplicably barged in here. It was not good now that he had retreated safely.

The golden-eyed toad croaked and circled Li Yuanqing silently.

At first, Li Yuanqing did not understand what it meant. However, after a moment, the meaning could not be any more obvious. Small bubbles emerged from the bottom of the water. In these bubbles, black toads emerged one after another. These black toads looked like they were carved from the same mold.

Although they were different from the golden toad in front of him, it was obvious that they could transform into this golden battle appearance at any time.

Li Yuanqing's expression was not good. It would have been fine if it was those little insects just now. These fellows were much more difficult to deal with than those insects just now. He had just witnessed the power erupted by this golden toad. Although these little fellows did not look very eye-catching, their instantaneous explosion was even comparable to the full-power attack of a first-stage Formation Arrangement Realm expert.

Even though he did not know how they had erupted with such powerful combat strength, Li Yuanqing did not want to continue fighting and fall into their encirclement. He silently retreated, but the direction he retreated was clearly the center of the grassland.

Every time he took a step back, the toads behind him would silently step forward. Moreover, he could clearly see that their chins had begun to bulge.

If Li Yuanqing was not wrong, these guys had relied on this ability to almost attack him just now. Now that they were thinking of using the same trick again, he could not fall for this trick again.

He jumped back and suddenly jumped into the air, wanting to distance himself from them. The mist in the air was too dense and seemed to have materialized. It kept circulating in the air and seriously hindered Li Yuanqing's vision.

However, Li Yuanqing was not particularly afraid since he had such powerful strength. He still retreated into the air very easily and guarded here.

As expected, it was exactly as he had guessed. Although the instantaneous explosive power of these golden toads was very high, their explosive power was not enough. They were far from it.

After Li Yuanqing was in the air, they could not do anything to him. They could only stand below and watch helplessly.

These toads with bulging chins carefully stared at Li Yuanqing in midair, waiting for him to land and give him a fatal blow. Since this guy had already landed here, he could forget about escaping unscathed. He had to leave something behind.

However, these toads were the same as Li Yuanqing. They did not have any intention of worrying. Instead, they gathered together calmly and squatted below him, waiting for him to come down at any time.

The two sides seemed to be in a stalemate just like that. The scene fell silent for a moment, looking a little strange.

Li Yuanqing wanted to continue moving forward like this, but this state was not very good. If he wanted to move forward, he would need to spend many times more strength than outside. He could feel his shield and the black mist beside him constantly extracting power from his body. This feeling made him feel a little uneasy. If this continued, the situation would probably be bad.

Just as Li Yuanqing was thinking, he suddenly felt a cold wind behind him. This sense of danger made him instantly turn his head and slap behind him.

Bang!

A clear sound erupted between the two of them, even shaking away a lot of the mist at the side.

Li Yuanqing turned to the side with lingering fear. If he had not reacted quickly just now, he would have died under the other party's sword. The small sword landed in the pool below.

After the water below gurgled for a while, a small sword suddenly appeared from inside. This little fellow actually ran out by itself and slowly floated into the air.

Li Yuanqing looked up and saw the danger he had sensed just now.

Less than a hundred feet in the sky, the thick black water condensed into a black fog-like existence that covered the sky. Only the specks of light emitted from under the water surface shone on this world. This was also why Li Yuanqing had let down his guard for a moment just now and did not see the scene behind him.

A human-shaped little demon with a pair of wings ran out of the dark clouds. This little fellow had human limbs and a round head. However, there was nothing on this round head. There was only a fist-sized eye grinning there. It was unknown where the strange laughter came from.

The laughter seemed to be contagious. In just a moment, they heard the same laughter coming from all directions. For a moment, the uniform laughter came from thousands of places. They kept stimulating Li Yuanqing's ears and his soul.

Li Yuanqing waved his sleeve and a golden gourd stuck to the shield in front of him. The shield became even more corporeal and there were even a few very thick golden threads circulating inside. These golden threads circled his entire body and actually weaved into a golden cocoon.

There were many holes in the golden cocoon, separated by golden threads. It became extremely difficult for the voices outside to enter again.

Seeing that the sound wave attack was ineffective, the little demons raised the bows in their hands high. It turned out that the sword-shaped gadget just now was shot out by the bow in their hands. He held the small black bow in his hand and looked in Li Yuanqing's direction as if he was looking at an enemy he had not seen for many years.

Ya!

This babbling sound was like the sound of a human baby, but it contained a very terrifying and strange power, making it difficult to associate them with humans.

While this little fellow was moving, the other brothers were not idle either. They each picked up their bows and aimed at Li Yuanqing.

In just a short while, thousands of threads turned into a rain of arrows that filled the sky and smashed onto Li Yuanqing's head. It was as if they wanted to tear Li Yuanqing into two, not giving him any chance of survival.

At the same time, the toads below, who were already ready to attack, jumped up high into the air. They opened their mouths and erupted with the attack that had been brewing for a long time.

Golden electric currents struck Li Yuanqing again.

Under this pincer attack, Li Yuanqing looked like he could not escape.

Li Yuanqing suddenly took out an ancient sword that was as black as ink and drew a circle in his hand. He raised it heavily without hesitation, drawing an arc in the air. The powerful sword energy seemed to want to tear the sky apart, not to mention that the mist that filled the sky was directly torn apart, creating a clear place.

Wherever the sword energy passed, anything it touched would be reduced to ashes like bubbles.

Those little demons were still arrogantly waving the bows in their hands a moment ago, but in the next second, they turned into powder that filled the sky and fell, leaving nothing behind. When the powder of the little demons fell, pitch-black fish jumped out from under the water and eagerly snatched the powder.

With this strike, half of the little demons were directly slashed by Li Yuanqing's sword. As for the golden lightning below, Li Yuanqing took the opportunity to draw a circle in the air with his sword and collide heavily with the golden lightning.

There was another violent crash.

The golden shield beside Li Yuanqing swayed, but fortunately, it still held on.

This time, Li Yuanqing did not retreat at all. Instead, the attack formed by the intense power spread below and pressed the toads that had already transformed into golden forms below the surface of the water.

These big toads were like cannonballs that were shot into the water one by one. All of them landed in the deep water with dizzy heads. All of them lay with their mouths crooked and the golden color on their bodies gradually dissipated. They were all unconscious.

Li Yuanqing did not expect to encounter such trouble just as he arrived at the central area. If he continued walking in, how many problems would appear? Moreover, this was the so-called Ten Thousand Miles Grassland.

Although it was not as wide as ten thousand miles, it was at least a thousand miles.

There was not much danger in the hundred miles around the periphery, but the deeper he went, the more obvious the danger was. He could encounter these strange things after walking a hundred miles into the central area.

The little demons in the air were frightened away by the death of their companions. All of them were very timid. When they saw that so many of their companions had died below, they had already disappeared.

After Li Yuanqing resolved these two troubles, he continued to advance without hesitation. This time, he sped up.

His feet stepped on the water like a dragonfly touching the water, leaving only shallow ripples. The demons below did not even have the time to open their mouths. Li Yuanqing had already run away without a trace.

Li Yuanqing flashed across the water like a bolt of lightning. Wherever he passed, black demon beasts with fat heads kept jumping out of the water, wanting to devour his flesh and blood. However, they only bit the empty air.

Such a scene was still playing out behind him.

However, Li Yuanqing ignored it. He had finally seen this water area clearly. If it was a grassland outside, it would be a wide water area inside.

If he stayed in this water area for too long, he would definitely attract many demon beasts. His goal was the deepest depths, so he did not stay any longer and headed straight for the deepest depths.

There were many demon beasts gathered behind him, but if these guys did not gather, their attacks would still be very slow. They would not be able to keep Li Yuanqing here.

After walking another three hundred miles, he arrived within a hundred miles of the center. This place was no small matter.

Li Yuanqing stopped at the edge of the central area. This place was very abnormal. It still looked like a pitch-black pool outside, but it actually became clearer here. It was like a huge lake with lotus leaves growing on it.

If it were any other time, he would definitely be extremely happy to see such a wide lotus leaf lake. It was not bad to cultivate his temperament here. However, this was an extremely dangerous Ten Thousand Mile Grassland. There was actually such a sunny scene. It naturally made people even more vigilant.

The light outside was emitted from the lake. Every inch of this clear lake seemed to be emitting a strong light. It was so bright that it could be reflected hundreds of miles away.

This power was really unfathomable. No one knew how it was formed.

Li Yuanqing had been standing outside for a while and many demon beasts had gathered. As he went in, the strength of these demon beasts became even stronger. There were actually many Formation Arrangement Realm demon beasts.

However, the strange thing was that although these guys were powerful, their intelligence level seemed to be very low. Compared to the demon beasts outside, they looked completely reckless.

These things followed behind Li Yuanqing. When they saw Li Yuanqing stop, they attacked without hesitation.
