Chapter 1199: Detoxification
From skin to bones, Ling Feng felt as though an earthquake was happening inside his body, almost every piece of flesh was trembling and boiling violently, and his internal organs were shaking as if they were about to shatter.
Fortunately, the ice shields earlier helped Ling Feng block a lot of the damage, plus Ling Feng's body was different from ordinary people, so even though he felt severe shocks inside, he wasn't seriously injured!
With a "wah", Ling Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes extremely solemn.
He wasn't sure if the giant toad could continue to emit such sonic attacks, and if it could, Ling Feng wasn't sure how many more he could withstand!
The underwater environment was the toad's home field, Ling Feng knew he couldn't be its match underwater, and it had such a thick-skinned defense. Furthermore, the Mo Yu Sword remained in a dormant state; Ling Feng couldn't wield its power, and without Mo Yu Sword, the power of his sword techniques would be significantly reduced!
For example, in the situation just now, if Ling Feng had the Mo Yu Sword in his hand, he believed he could definitely use it to tear through the toad's defenses!
Ling Feng's figure flickered as he rushed towards the surface of the pool.
Seeing Ling Feng trying to retreat, the giant toad showed an angry expression. It opened its huge mouth, and the pearls left by the poisoned clams that had died earlier surged into its mouth.
"So those poisonous clam pearls are this giant toad's food, huh? Is it angry because it thinks I stole its food?" Ling Feng felt a bit depressed in his heart.
After devouring those pearls, the giant toad raised its head to look at Ling Feng, who was continuously floating upward, by now there was quite a distance between them.
Gobble! Suddenly, the giant toad opened its mouth, and its long tongue swept towards Ling Feng's figure!
To Ling Feng's surprise, the end of the giant toad's tongue was the huge skull he had seen earlier! In other words, this huge skull was part of the giant toad.
The giant toad's tongue ejected at an incredible speed, even underwater, it seemed to encounter no resistance!
In the blink of an eye, the enormous skull appeared in front of Ling Feng's eyes, biting fiercely towards his body.
"What the hell is this thing!" Ling Feng was taken aback, the tongue moved too fast, and Ling Feng couldn't avoid it even if he tried.
Boom! At this critical moment, Ling Feng punched heavily onto the teeth of the enormous skull. Using the force of recoil, his speed increased a bit more, while the speed of the enormous skull was momentarily hindered.
This punch from Ling Feng held nothing back, and the immense strength directly broke the teeth of the enormous skull. Instantly, a painful howl came from above from the giant toad.
"Could it be that the skull at the end of the tongue is the weakness of this giant toad?" Ling Feng thought to himself and instead of continuing upward, he turned to look at the giant toad.
At this moment, the giant toad's tongue was swaying continuously in the water, and the enormous skull at the end of its tongue emitted a miserable cry. The sinister eyes on the skull glared at Ling Feng, as if it wished to tear him to shreds!
As Ling Feng overlooked from above, he discovered that behind the giant toad were two massive iron chains, these chains were dark green and penetrated through the giant toad's two hind legs, tightly confining it at the bottom of the deep pool!
"This...," apprehension flickered in Ling Feng's eyes.
This giant toad must be sealed here, otherwise, why would these two massive chains lock it down at the bottom of the deep pool?
Thinking of this, Ling Feng felt a chill run down his scalp. He wouldn't believe a creature sealed here for eons would only have the strength of a Demi-God Domain!
"Most of its power must be sealed, otherwise, I probably wouldn't be its match!" Ling Feng turned and continued heading upward. At first, he considered launching a counterattack, but now it seemed that leaving safely would be more than satisfactory!
Gobble! The giant toad's tongue once again coiled towards Ling Feng, it now hated Ling Feng to the extreme; how could it let Ling Feng leave so easily?
This time, the giant toad's tongue moved even faster, slicing through the water like lightning.
"There's no way to dodge!" Ling Feng's heart sank as the Hell Black Flame reappeared around his body, and now Ling Feng could only employ his most potent move. Whether he could fend off the opponent depended on fate!
But just as the enormous skull was about to bite Ling Feng, the giant toad's body below trembled and emitted a painful sound. Subsequently, the giant toad's tongue retracted at even faster speed, and under Ling Feng's surprised gaze, it turned and left, disappearing into the deeper part of the pool.
What a narrow escape! Ling Feng exhaled in relief; he did not know why the giant toad suddenly ceased its attack, but he knew now was the best chance to escape!
A few minutes later, Ling Feng finally emerged from the pool's depths and once again breathed the air along the shore, feeling immense relief.
"Seems like there's nowhere simple in this Atlantis!" Ling Feng shook his head, dried off, and returned to where the others were.
Ling Feng took out more than ten poisonous clam pearls and then directed a surge of energy into the mark on his arm: "Crystal Skull, I've already found the Poisonous Clam Pearls. Now what should I do?"
"What should you do? Give one to each person and swallow it!" The voice of the Crystal Skull came through the mark: "Alright, I'm tired now, don't call me unless it's urgent!"
Ling Feng wanted to ask about the giant toad, but since the Crystal Skull was unresponsive, he decided not to rush with questions.
After distributing the poisonous clam pearls one by one, everyone swallowed them and eventually regained their strength.
"Ling Feng, come over here for a minute!" Once everyone had recovered, Xuanyuan Xia spoke to Ling Feng.
The two stepped aside, and Xuanyuan Xia said in a low voice, "What exactly is in that pool?"
Ling Feng's heart stirred: "Senior Sister, did you sense something?"
"That's right!" Xuanyuan Xia said: "After you left, I've been trying my best to analyze the toxin, and I feel that the poison from the poisonous clams can't be this severe!"
Ling Feng nodded: "Actually, at the bottom of the pool, I encountered…"
Ling Feng then recounted the encounter with the giant toad to Xuanyuan Xia, believing that with her insight, she should know what this giant toad was.
"A giant toad? Hidden with potent toxins? A skull at the tip of its tongue…" Xuanyuan Xia's eyes flashed with shock: "What you're describing... It should be the Sky-Swallowing Toad!"
