Chapter 828 The Toad

Darren could only sigh as he watched the depressed monkey leave.

The whole world fell silent as the monkey walked forward in the void. Even the setting sun stained the horizon in hues of red, making it appear as if someone's heart was dripping blood.

"Hmmm."

The monkey shook his heavy head. He felt as if he were sinking to the bottom of the cold sea.

"Bloodline..." the monkey whispered. "She is noble."

The monkey kept moving forward, muddle-headed. Everything was so distorted that he did not know where he was. A few moments later, he felt so tired that he landed on an island.

The whole island was covered with purple bamboo plants.

When the wind blew, the bamboo grove rattled, but the noise left the monkey feeling even colder as if he were the only creature in the world.

Unable to continue, the monkey resigned to the exhaustion coursing through him. He fell on the dry bamboo leaves and sobbed.

"What's wrong with you?"

A voice seemed to echo in his mind.

When he looked up, he saw another monkey's smiling face. He shook his head as he thought he was out of his mind and hallucinating.

"It's rare for you to cry like this. Tell me. Who makes you sad? I'll kill him with a dozen martial arts skills no matter who he is."

When the monkey heard the teasing words, he jumped up as if he had received an electric shock.

His body trembled when he saw the black monkey. He wasn't hallucinating after all!

On the island

Caroline glanced at the sky with sorrow-filled eyes. Her heart felt somewhat empty.

"You seem to have feelings for him,"

Darren remarked dryly to Caroline after he flew to her.

When Caroline shook herself free from the daze in which she found herself, she noticed that Darren was beside her.

"Don't talk nonsense. His status and bloodline are poorer than mine. How could I fall in love with him?" Caroline tried to sound practical.

"You have lived a long life, and yet, you don't see things clearly. Why don't you follow your heart? At least, in my eyes, bloodline means nothing. It is up to you to decide who is noble and who is not!"

Darren disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.

The corner of Caroline's mouth twitched as she pondered over Darren's advice. Then she muttered, "How can a creature's bloodline be inconsequential? Ah! Does it really matter?"

All of a sudden, a strong wind swept through this area of the sea.

The wind cut through Caroline's island, the area covered in white mist, and beyond.

Hundreds of thousands

rough him. Then, blisters grew on the exposed skin. Finally, his wounds began to fester.

'It's highly toxic, ' Darren thought.

Before he could contemplate his move, several white tadpoles crawled out of the mucus.

Each of these tadpoles had a mouth full of sharp fangs.

Several tadpoles rushed toward Darren.

Darren's blade and sword intents swept toward the tadpoles wildly, but they didn't fear his attack at all. His blade and sword intents passed straight through them, hit the bubble wall, and dissipated.

"No, not good." Darren frowned.

"Darren, I will cooperate with you from the outside. Let's use our combined skills to kill the toad."

Relief flooded through Darren when he heard the secret message Caroline sent through her spiritual sense.

"Okay, I'll try."

As Darren was enveloped in a disgusting mucus bubble with no access to the outside world, he didn't know what kinds of moves Caroline would use. Only an understanding of each other's skills would allow Darren and Caroline to cooperate.

"Let me think. She might use the move the 'Dragon Shadow and Phoenix Illusion' first." Based on his understanding of her attack style, Darren mobilized his battle skill, and a majestic aura of dragon blood gushed out.

Outside, Caroline had already begun her fight with the toad. At this time, she seemed to have sensed what skill Darren had used and continuously clapped her hands.

"Ha-ha, Caroline, you can't save him on your own." The toad was quite confident in his refining bladder skill.

Boom!

The stone man and the bull-like creature next to them were shocked when a powerful force that changed the color of heaven and earth exploded.
