Chapter 422 Captain of Conscience, Toad Spirit
Seeing what the toad spirit said, the crucian carp spirit's eyes widened and he stepped forward to hold the toad spirit's head.
"Then why are you only willing to give me five souls?"
The crucian carp spirit almost shed tears, and he directly deducted half of it. Is this something that humans do?
The crucian carp spirit stepped forward and punched and kicked him. After a moment, he let go of the toad spirit.
"Forget it……"
Ning Caichen stepped forward to persuade Crucian Carp Jing, who then breathed a sigh of relief.
Zuo Qianhu saw that the toad spirit was so cunning, so he put a steel knife across the toad spirit's inconspicuous neck, fearing that the toad spirit had some evil ways. Now as long as the toad spirit dares to move, Zuo Qianhu will not hesitate.
Poke it down.
"Which catfish spirit is it?"
After some words from the Toad Spirit, the three of them finally understood.
It turns out that this toad spirit is just like the crucian spirit. It is originally a wild spirit, but it was recruited into this mansion. Two spirits can be used for cultivation every month.
Compared to the dangerous and cruel environment in the wild, Toad Spirit chose stability.
He has been in the mansion longer than Crucian Carp, and has been here for two years.
During this period, he followed the commander on several missions and obtained more than a dozen spirits, so his strength was much stronger than that of the crucian carp spirit, so he was promoted to squad leader.
The squad leader manages about five or six monsters, and above the squad leader is the captain, who manages about ten squad leaders.
And the catfish spirit in the toad spirit's mouth is the captain who gave him the mission this time.
"Hero, spare your life. This matter has nothing to do with me. It was the catfish spirit who took your lives. Every wrongdoer has his own fault, and every debtor has his own owner, hero!"
Toad Spirit was knocked over by Li Pu's punch and seriously injured. Now he has long lost the courage to risk his life against Li Pu.
This made Li Pu a little strange. The tiger spirit he met before would still fight for his life even if he was no match for his strength. Why is this monster so cowardly?
"You betrayed your captain, don't you feel guilty?"
The toad spirit couldn't help but smile when he heard what Li Pu said.
"How could it be? I wish the hero would kill him..."
Only then did Li Pu realize that the amount of essences that the team leaders could receive each month was actually not two at all, but four.
As the captain, the catfish spirit intercepts part of the essence of his subordinate captains every month and uses it for his own use. If half of what should be his own is intercepted by his superiors, who will still work hard for his superiors?
It is not difficult to understand what this toad spirit did.
Zuo Qianhu's hand holding the knife relaxed now and silently retracted the scabbard.
"Take us to find the catfish spirit."
Li Pu signaled the toad spirit to lead the way, and the toad spirit hurriedly jumped up and down to lead the way, not daring to do any tricks at all.
The courtyard is full of gurgling water, just like a garden submerged in water. It is very beautiful, but also very humid.
It can be seen from the layout here that most of the monsters here are aquatic spirits.
Finally, Toad Spirit and Crucian Fish Spirit took Li Pu and the others to a courtyard that was larger than Toad Spirit's courtyard.
After opening the door, I found that there were no buildings in the courtyard at all, only a pond of about 300 square meters. The water in other places looked clear and transparent.
But the pond was completely dark, and it was impossible to tell how deep it was.
The toad spirit came forward, stood on the edge of the pond, and said.
"Captain, I have completed the mission. Come and submit the mission."
As soon as the toad spirit finished speaking, he saw an undercurrent surging in the pond, and soon a huge catfish spirit jumped up from the pond.
Jumping from the pond to the edge, the catfish transformed into a big man covered in pitch black.
"Oh? You completed the task so quickly?"
After that, the catfish spirit noticed Li Pu and the others.
He had seen Li Pu's portrait before, and he personally handed the portrait to Toad.
The catfish spirit's expression changed drastically, and he jumped up again, wanting to plunge into the pond.
A monster who can figure out how to package tasks and hand them over to his subordinates and take a commission is not that stupid.
Seeing Li Pu, Ning Caichen and an unknown person standing in front of their house with a toad spirit, what else is there to think about.
Let’s get back to the water first. As a catfish spirit, most of his strength lies underwater.
When encountering an unpredictable enemy, diving into a pond is almost a subconscious behavior.
Before the catfish spirit could enter the water, a dark green chain tied the catfish spirit tightly while it was still in the air.
Then Li Pu exerted his strength and easily pulled a huge catfish four to five meters long in front of him.
Seeing that Li Pu was so powerful and even a monster of the captain's level was not Li Pu's enemy at all, the crucian carp spirit almost burst into tears.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was equivalent to taking five yuan as a reward to do the important thing of exterminating the nine tribes.
The catfish spirit was tied up with chains and struggled wildly. The water splash was more than ten meters high. Li Pu was afraid of scaring away other monsters in the mansion, so he stepped forward and punched the catfish spirit.
The catfish spirit was beaten high into the air by Li Pu, and then landed on the water with a thud.
After this, the catfish spirit stopped struggling and just floated on the water with its belly turned white.
Li Pu pulled Catfish Spirit to the edge of the pond and slapped Catfish Spirit on the face twice. The loud sound made everyone present cover their faces involuntarily.
The catfish spirit finally woke up. Seeing that Li Pu was still beating him, he quickly begged for mercy.
"Heroes, spare their lives, heroes, spare their lives!"
Seeing the catfish spirit like this, Zuo Qianhu took back his steel knife and couldn't help but complain.
"Why do these things all have the same virtue?"
Li Pu walked forward with a smile and asked.
"Why did you come to kill me? We have never met, right?"
"Hero, this has nothing to do with me. It was the commander-in-chief who asked me to kill you. He also said that killing you would give me fifty souls, so I went to find the toad spirit."
"this……"
Ning Caichen was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say anymore. In comparison, the toad spirit turned out to be a kind person.
"You damn catfish! You only gave me ten spirits to do something like murdering a hero!"
After saying that, the toad spirit stepped forward and started punching and kicking him. The crucian carp spirit saw that his team leader only deducted five of his spirits, while the catfish spirit actually deducted forty spirits.
He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the toad spirit. While pulling him, he said forget it.
The toad was not angry that he had not killed Li Pu, he was angry that the damn catfish had deprived him of so much of his energy.
Fifty souls was an amount that would take him several years to obtain, yet he was deprived of it in this way.
How could he swallow this breath?
Even though he was pulled away by the crucian carp spirit, he kept kicking at the catfish spirit with his feet.
