1116: Chapter 678 1116: Chapter 678 Dugu Yan’er saw the great harvest of her big brother and congratulated him with enthusiasm!
“Big Brother, you’re amazing!”
“Hahaha,” Dugu Yan’er’s flattering words pleased her big brother, so much so that he even gave her one of the storage bags!
“Does your Jin Cancan need some training from me, Big Brother?”
Dugu Yan’er shook her head.
“It’ll get plenty of training during the missions later!”
The two Jin Cancans flew above their respective masters, seemingly squabbling mid-air!
The leader of this mission was once again Su Chang’an.
However, this time, compared to the last, their group had reaped such tremendous rewards that many cultivators grew envious and clamored to join in on the next task!
Su Chang’an wasn’t the type to argue with others; he simply allowed others to join in.
Those who had participated before stood by observing, ready to divide the resources fairly.
These strong cultivators monitored on the sidelines, ensuring everything proceeded without disruptions.
The group barely had time to say much before a swarm of frog-like creatures emerged from the formation’s cavern.
They resembled baby frogs at first glance.
Initially, everyone was confused.
But as soon as the insects emerged, their bodies began to grow larger, shifting into adult frog-like beings.
Unlike typical frogs, these creatures weren’t green but instead carried a faint yellow hue!
The yellowish insects, once enlarged, started leaping and charging outward!
The yellow frogs, upon trying to escape, found themselves blocked by an invisible wall.
Frustrated, they began biting at it, and when that didn’t work, they started clawing at the wall with their feet!
The pressure applied by their clawed feet created faint cracks in the formation.
Seeing the yellow frogs, Su Chang’an felt a sense of foreboding.
They seemed harmless when small, but now their strength was evident.
Watching from the side wouldn’t suffice anymore—everyone, even low-level cultivators, had to take action!
If the cracks in the formation weren’t quickly repaired, they’d multiply, potentially breaking the formation entirely!
Constant repairs required an immense consumption of Spiritual Power!
Even for the hundreds of cultivators present—so powerful on their own—fighting against tens of thousands of these frog-like creatures, while maintaining the formation, proved to be a grueling task!
Through the effort, many came to understand a harsh truth.
From the outside, completing such tasks seemed immensely profitable.
Yet when it became their turn, they realized how difficult these missions truly were!
As cultivators continuously channeled Spiritual Energy into the formation, stronger individuals could replenish their reserves while outputting energy simultaneously.
Weaker cultivators, however, found their bodies unable to replenish Spiritual Energy fast enough, leading to exhaustion!
Some, driven by pride and unwilling to appear weak before others, resorted to ingesting medicinal pills for energy.
But consuming pills was a loss.
They gritted their teeth, bore the expense, and prayed for the mission’s success, hoping future opportunities could make up for their losses!
Dugu Yan’er called back her quarreling Jin Cancan.
Witnessing how formidable these frogs were, she decided it was time for Jin Cancan to show its worth!
Jin Cancan, obedient as ever, flew back, entered the formation, and unleashed flames onto the boundary of the formation!
The flames spread around the edges of the formation.
Any frog stepping onto the boundary would immediately be burned!
These insect demons were primarily physical creatures, and in the face of fire, they were nothing more than roasted meat!
At first, the insect demons couldn’t withdraw their feet in time!
Some had their legs turned into roasted drumsticks!
While those outside the formation couldn’t catch the enticing smell of roasted meat, they could see the effect: more and more insects lost their ability to stomp like strongmen!
Some frogs, their legs rendered utterly useless, could only resort to spitting water at the flames!
But there was yet another problem—the frogs’ water attack couldn’t extinguish Jin Cancan’s fireballs!
The air remained scorching hot, unbearably so!
As soon as Jin Cancan entered the fray, the pressure on the cultivators instantly lessened.
Many couldn’t help but envy such a powerful Spiritual Pet!
Those who felt envious made mental notes to investigate where one could obtain a Spiritual Pet like Jin Cancan!
Insect demons of such strength—every cultivator would love to own one.
Having such a creature as a “right hand” would greatly enhance their capabilities!
For all the cultivators’ combined strength, they couldn’t match the efficacy of one Spiritual Pet?!
Even the graceful and composed Su Chang’an couldn’t help but admire Jiang Tang for distributing such extraordinary Spiritual Pets!
If Su Chang’an weren’t so prideful, he would likely feel the same as others, planning to ask Jiang Tang for one of these incredible Spiritual Pets next time they met!
But Su Chang’an was proud.
As a sword cultivator, he typically disdained relying on external aids!
However, seeing others mastering all-encompassing cultivation while he fell short in versatility sparked a desire within him to learn multidimensional skills!
Among Jiang Tang’s other seven girlfriends, seeing how powerful the insect pets of Yun Duoduo and Dugu Yan’er were, it was impossible not to feel envious!
They couldn’t deny their jealousy, but lacking access to Jiang Tang at present, they could only daydream for now!
They vowed that once Jiang Tang returned, he must distribute Spiritual Pets to them as well!
They had briefly considered asking Yun Duoduo to share insect eggs, but pride kept them from making such requests!
After all, they were Heavenly Pride Girls.
During the previous distribution, when Jiang Tang gave two others their rewards, these women had already negotiated alternative benefits!
