Chapter 304 - Chapter 304: Chapter 297 Cultivating the Golden Toad_1 (2/2)

The more strength one has, the broader world one can engage with.

As long as the Golden Toad could level up to Grade Eight, there would be no fear when facing the top Insect Masters from the Nine Insect Gang in the future.

Toads are naturally the bane of most insects.

The Red-eyed Golden Toad, being a special creature of heaven and earth, has even greater combat strength. Once it advanced to Grade Eight, it would totally have the power to crush some Level Eight insects.

Don’t look at how it seemed somewhat inferior when it faced the Taiyin Yaoyao king and the Four-Winged Demon Centipede that day.

That was because these two insects were among the rare oddities of heaven and earth.

Their combat strength was ten times, even dozens of times stronger than that of ordinary insects.

Qin Niu meticulously prepared Ancient Banyan Tree Blood for the Red-eyed Golden Toad, and directly fed it to the creature.

After it finished eating, Qin Niu anxiously watched from the side.

Its belly swelled up like a balloon.

When the Green Ox ate the Banyan Tree Blood, there was no significant reaction, and nearly a day later, the Green Ox began to madly dash around in frenzy.

But the Red-eyed Golden Toad, having eaten the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, inflated instantaneously, with its body starting to swell on the spot.

This was very similar to what happened with the Termite.

As time elapsed, the Golden Toad’s body had swollen into a round ball, its eyes even unable to open.

Its limbs were no longer able to touch the ground.

Because its belly had ballooned into a round sphere.

Even its limbs began to inflate and expand.

Qin Niu was very clear that this was because the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood contained an extremely considerable amount of energy, just like humans consuming a high-grade elixir, with the vigorous energy roaming throughout the body.

They had nowhere to be released, and the body couldn’t immediately absorb so much energy.

This moment was extremely dangerous, and there was even the possibility of the body bursting and dying.

The Red-eyed Golden Toad had extremely strong defenses and was a special creature of heaven and earth; Qin Niu had great confidence in it.

He believed it could get through this difficult phase.

Consuming Ancient Banyan Tree Blood might seem dangerous, but through Qin Niu’s continuous exploration and experimentation, he had come to believe that Ancient Banyan Tree Blood was the ‘high-grade elixir’ for nurturing pets.

As long as the dosage was not exceeded by too much, it was generally safe.

Enduring some hardships was inevitable.

In the early stages, when he used Ancient Banyan Tree Blood to cultivate Termites and bees, the mortality rate was slightly high, which was due to an imprecise control over the dosage.

Finally, the Red-eyed Golden Toad’s body had swelled to the limit.

If it expanded any further, it might very well explode.

Qin Niu watched nervously at the side.

The Red-eyed Golden Toad seemed to be in great pain, struggling continuously with its four inflated legs.

But it couldn’t touch the ground.

Due to the over-inflation, its legs were no longer able to bend.

“Wart Toad, hang in there.”

No sooner had Qin Niu finished speaking than the Golden Toad’s body inflated even more.

Its skin became as thin and transparent as the wings of a cicada.

This caused Qin Niu’s heart to instantly tighten.

He hadn’t expected that the Golden Toad, which he had the most confidence in, couldn’t endure this dangerous phase.

The dosage fed to it had been carefully calculated.

And was already conservative.

Why was it still unbearable for it?

Could it be that each creature has a different standard for calculating a safe dosage?

Just as Qin Niu was feeling distressed, two large bulges suddenly appeared on the Red-eyed Golden Toad’s throat.

One on either side.

They kept expanding and soon were touching the ground.

The swelling didn’t stop, though the rest of the Golden Toad’s body did not keep expanding.

As time went by, after two more hours had passed and the air sacs in the toad’s throat had swelled to half the size of its body, the expansion finally came to a halt.

It was by leveraging this tactic that the Red-eyed Golden Toad successfully endured the life-and-death ordeal.
