Chapter 192: Chapter 187 Collect the Golden Toad 1

Now that the situation was in his grasp, the Golden Toad had no chance of escaping from his mighty clutches. Letting it struggle a bit more would make it realize Qin Niu’s strength.
That would make it easier to subdue later on.
To tame any formidable creature or beast, one must first overpower it.
Naturally, the Golden Toad wouldn’t submit easily and continued its attempts to break free with a stubborn disbelief.
This time, it chose a different direction.
But before long, it had bounced back again.
After repeating this process many times, the Golden Toad’s pride and temper were mostly tamed.
Qin Niu was waiting for just this moment.
“Submit to me, and you can become even stronger and possibly live much longer. I own an ant, which originally had a lifespan of only four years, but after becoming my pet, it now lives for thirty thousand years. I have a turtle that increased its lifespan by six hundred years after becoming my beast pet.” As he spoke, his gaze remained locked with the Golden Toad’s.
It was apparent that the toad was now on the brink of yielding.
For any living being, the prospect of prolonging life is a desirable one.
“Submit! After a hundred years, if one day you regret it, I might consider granting you freedom,” Qin Niu asserted with great confidence.
However, he left himself an out by adding the word “consider.”
It meant that in the end, whether to set it free was still up to Qin Niu to decide.
The Golden Toad’s resistance significantly waned, and under its hesitant compliance, the golden light from the Contractual Talisman seeped into the depths of its spirit. Eventually, a streak of golden light flew out and entered Qin Niu’s forehead.
His body trembled slightly as he closed his eyes and silently endured the backlash of the contractual power.
This was akin to the strong recoil felt when firing a gun.
The more powerful the gun, the stronger the recoil.
The same went for taming beast pets; the stronger the pet, the more intense the backlash.
That’s why it’s nearly impossible for an ordinary person to tame an overly powerful creature or beast.
Too great a disparity in strength leads to many obstacles.
A moment later, Qin Niu opened his eyes, his face somewhat pale.
“This Golden Toad is so strong!”
He had originally thought that the Golden Toad was at most a Grade Two or Three; now, it seemed its level was frighteningly high.
No wonder even Old Master Huang, despite his prowess, was unable to tame it.
Moreover, such rare and extraordinary species are inherently rebellious, contending with the heavens and battling with the earth, and supremely difficult to subdue.
Now that he had successfully tamed it, Qin Niu could finally check its attributes.
Red-eyed Golden Toad
Level: Grade Seven Tailless Golden Swallowing Toad, leveling experience 37440016/100000000
Lifespan: 800 years
Energy: 5700981
Skills: Swimming Grade Six 780003/1000000, Qi Defense Grade Six 102176/1000000, Predation Grade Six 871020/1000000, Hibernation Grade Three 109/1000
Innate Abilities: Swallowing, Defense, Partial Immunity to Venom
After reviewing its attributes, Qin Niu clicked his tongue in admiration.
Many of its skills overlapped with those of the Diamond Ink Turtle.
But the Golden Toad’s level was very high, having reached Grade Seven.
Despite Old Master Huang’s Corpse Bee being Grade Five, for insects and beasts, each step up in grade means a vast difference in capabilities and various properties.
Not to mention anything else, just the tenfold increase in their leveling experience signifies a transformation from quantity to quality.
No wonder its defensive capability was so strong; not only did it have defensive innate abilities, but it also possessed Qi Defense skills.
Besides, its predation skill was equally kick-ass.
With the Golden Toad by his side, Qin Niu could likely annihilate all insects below Grade Seven that he encountered.
Frogs and toads are predation experts, their tongues able to extend out of their mouths like lightning, coiling around their prey and pulling it into their mouths.
The Golden Toad had another badass ability—Swallowing.
As part of the Golden Swallowing Toad family, it should be able to consume gold and silver to continually strengthen its body.
But of course, he couldn’t possibly feed it those precious metals.
“Very well, from now on, you are officially my beast pet; I will devote myself to nurturing you and making you stronger and stronger,” Qin Niu expressed with satisfaction after successfully taming such a powerful pet.
