Chapter 184 Victory and poison lake
But Xie Feng soon calmed down. Ling Long had the ability to defeat the Fatal Poison Toad if she remembered what he had told her several minutes ago.
As long as Ling Long kept her mind calm and did not let herself be controlled by emotions, with the heaven-defying attack power she possessed, she could easily emerge victoriously.
And indeed, Ling Long did not forget Xie Feng's words.
Seeing the Fatal Poison Toad begin to charge a skill, Ling Long retracted her claws and closed her small right fist before finally punching the toad in the chest!
-1470!
After receiving Ling Long's Explosive Fist skill, the Fatal Poison Toad not only took 200% damage, it was also sent flying as its defense was clearly no higher than Ling Long's 750 Physical Attack points. But most importantly, the Poison Blast skill was successfully interrupted!
Xie Feng was surprised to see that after falling to the ground, the Fatal Poison Toad did not stand up; he quickly used his Soul Eyes skill on the collapsed monster.
[Fatal Poison Toad -
Grade: 3 SUNS
Level: 30
HP: 21.272 / 30.000
Current condition: Stunned (Time remaining 3 seconds)]
Stunned! It was only then that Xie Feng remembered that Ling Long's Explosive Fist skill not only had the ability to interrupt charging skills or magical chants, it also had a 20% chance of stunning the enemy!
"Ling Long, finish it!"
Xie Feng couldn't help but quickly urge. His whole body was trembling with excitement. His attack power was already terrifying enough, but now he had a pet as a companion with an even more terrifying DPS attack than his!
Ling Long didn't need Xie Feng's reminder. She flapped her little wings again and as if teleporting, appeared in front of the currently stunned Fatal Poison Toad, with little white stars hovering around its head.
Miss, -726, -730, Miss
-731, -719, -733, Miss
On the first second, Ling Long used double mana to hit twice with Calamity Claw and the Fatal Poison Toad's health bar dropped to 17633 health points.
-725, Miss, -730, -729
-719, -719, -732, -728
At the second number two, Ling Long again consumed 200 mana points and the Fatal Poison Toad's health bar dropped to 13270 health points.
At this point, Ling Long had consumed just over half of her MP.
Although Ling Long's skills were extremely powerful, they also came at a high cost and, unlike Xie Feng who possessed the Ring of the God of Destruction with a mana regeneration of 10% per second, Ling Long did not possess such a capacity.
In the third second, just as the Fatal Poison Toad opened its two large popping eyes, Ling Long again consumed 200 mana points to attack with both claws.
-730, -729, -724, -729
-725, -735, -719, -728
*Roar!*
The Fatal Poison Toad let out a strange roar of fury and pain when after coming out of the forced stun it noticed that it only had less than 8200 health points left.
Boss 3 SUNS looked at Ling Long with eyes full of anger. The muscles in its hind legs tensed and with a bang, it shot towards Ling Long! The boss was using its charge skill!
Ling Long flapped her wings and activated her Instant Flap skill twice. The first time, Ling Long dodged the Fatal Poison Toad's Impact Charge skill; the second time, Ling Long moved to appear right behind the monster's back.
Instant Flap consumed 5% of Ling Long's maximum mana, so with each use, Ling Long consumed 360 mana points. The amount of mana Ling Long had consumed from the beginning of the battle until the current moment was over 2600! In other words, Ling Long only had 1000 mana points remaining.
But 1000 points was more than enough.
*KKKhh...*
The Fatal Poison Toad let out a strange sound and fell to the ground helplessly after Ling Long consumed 600 more mana points to completely empty its health bar.
[Ding!... Your pet Ling Long has leveled up! Your pet has reached level 17. HP +100, MP +100, Physical Attack Power +25, Defense +10, Precision +10, Evasion +10.]
Seeing the level 30 monster, a 3-SUN boss that would need to be faced by a few dozen players of the same level to defeat, falling to the ground after being savagely beaten by a dragon the size of a domestic cat, Xie Feng felt that what was happening in front of him was unreal.
But when Ling Long turned and looked at him with bright eyes and a big smile showing how happy she was, Xie Feng realized that it was all real.
Seeing the bright eyes of the little Dragoness, Xie Feng smiled softly and slowly approached her. When he finally reached her side, he lifted her in his arms and said cheerfully:
"Good for you, Ling Long! I told you, you are the strongest! Not to mention a little Thorny Toad, you even defeated a Boss that was 14 levels above yours! Hahaha..."
"Puuh!" Ling Long closed her eyes and smiled happily as she rubbed her little head against Xie Feng's chest. She was naturally happy to be praised by Xie Feng. Moreover, she finally regained confidence in her strength. She finally felt confident and worthy to walk together with her master!
"Alright, let's move on. We still have a mission to finish."
After picking up a few pieces of bronze and silver equipment dropped by the Fatal Poison Toad along with some silver coins, Xie Feng and Ling Long continued on their way into the depths of the Dark Forest.

Xie Feng in the company of Ling Long walked for more than an hour until he reached the area marked by the map that King Hu Yi had given him earlier. After reaching the indicated area, Xie Feng and Ling Long searched tirelessly for the possible hiding place of the monster that had kidnapped the little prince of Eminentis City, unfortunately, they could not find it.
Xie Feng even moved several big rocks with Ling Long's help but no matter how many rocks he moved or how many times he circled the place since there was no such thing as a hidden cave.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Feng made Ling Long go back to the pet space and disconnected for breakfast since it was past 7 o'clock in the morning.
After finishing breakfast, Xie Feng logged back into the game again.
Although he was teased by Gu Pojun, Xie Feng simply rolled his eyes and ignored him. Although the old man was often annoying, at least he never showed any malice towards him or Xie Yao. In the past, Xie Feng thought that this was because Gu Pojun feared his retaliation, but after learning that there was actually such a powerful person protecting the Gu Family, he realized that his thoughts were wrong.
Precisely because Xie Feng recognized his mistake, he did not mind letting his dream disturb him a little. Let's just say that the payment Xie Feng would take in return would be the old man's daughter.
A fair exchange from Xie Feng's point of view.

After searching unsuccessfully for another hour, Xie Feng finally gave up.
It wasn't that he had given up on the mission, Xie Feng gave up on searching for the unknown monster's hiding place on the surface... There was still a place that Xie Feng had been willingly ignoring and even prayed silently that he would not have to go there. Unfortunately, luck did not seem to be on his side.
Earlier, while searching for the monster cave, Ling Long fell into a strange lake and was saved by Xie Feng since the little pet could not swim. After calming the nervous Ling Long by telling her that everything had passed, Xie Feng was surprised to discover that the lake was really strange.
It was completely camouflaged with the ground and if one did not fall into it they would never notice that what was in front of their eyes was actually a strange lake.
"Looks like I have no choice..." Xie Feng muttered bitterly as he put a finger into the lake.
-5
-5
After two seconds, Xie Feng sighed lightly.
"Great, a poison lake..." Xie Feng smiled helplessly.
After Ling Long returned to the pet space, Xie Feng checked to make sure his HP was at its maximum before finally jumping into the poison lake.
-20
-20
-20
Immediately red damage figures floated above Xie Feng's head with each passing second. Knowing that the time was his enemy in this case, Xie Feng began to swim as fast as possible to the bottom of the lake in search of some secret cave.
After swimming for 20 seconds, Xie Feng had lost more than 400 HP. Without delay, he drank some of the big health recovery potion that he had put in his mouth before jumping into the water.
The big health recovery potion could restore approximately 2000 HP points. So Xie Feng would drink it slowly when his HP crossed a certain threshold.
Fortunately, after more than a minute, with the red HP potion completely empty and still constantly losing HP, Xie Feng finally noticed a part that was different from the rest of the lake.
Without hesitation, Xie Feng rapidly swam over there.
Passing through what appeared to be a gigantic mouth formed by natural stones, Xie Feng found himself in what appeared to be a separate part of the lake because when he looked up, he could see a bit of clarity; in other words, there was no water in the part just above his head.
