Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold - Chapter 181: Flame Crystal Ball
Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Flame Crystal Ball
A stroke of luck amid misfortune—
Not everyone who jumped into the pool earlier was a fool!
Although!
A significant portion of them truly charged in brainlessly!
But!
Others dared to take the risk because they had hidden life-saving trump cards!
…
Just now!
At the moment when the flames raged!
Those smart ones used their abilities to escape disaster!
At the very least!
They weren’t wiped out by a single wave of fire—
“Damn it! That was terrifying!”
A middle-aged man who awakened the Metal Element!
Wipes the cold sweat off his forehead!
Just now he summoned a Metal Shield in time to block most of the fire attack, surviving by luck!
Although his hair, beard, and eyebrows!
Were all singed!
At least he preserved his life!
…
“Who said this frog is B-Class? Clearly, it’s possibly above B+!”
A young man with Teleportation Ability!
Steps out from behind the crowd.
His gaze is heavy.
Just now, he used his Teleportation Ability to successfully escape the reach of the flames!
…
And at this moment!
The water in the pond had turned muddy!
But the frog remained crouched on the central rock of the pond!
As if the fiery attack that tormented everyone just now!
For it!
Was just a trivial trick!
Its eyes sparkled with a lively light!
Yet they were also puzzled.
…
“Everyone be careful! The frog doesn’t seem to be affected at all!”
“And it’s unknown how many more times it can unleash such an attack!”
People warned each other.
…
“Xiaorong bro, what do we do now?”
Lu Qiang’s teammates spoke to him with newfound respect—
Because he just saved their lives!
Although he was still just a kid!
But right now!
He was recognized by everyone!
Even referred to as “brother”!
Lu Qiang replied solemnly:
“Don’t rush! Let’s observe a bit more!”
…
“What do we do now? Do we just give up?”
At this moment!
A woman with Spiritual Qi wings descended from the sky, shouting in dissatisfaction.
She had flown quite high earlier!
Only then did she evade the flames!
Now her gaze was filled with unwillingness!
“Give up? Of course not!”
People replied.
“But we need a more thorough plan!”
“We can’t act blindly like just now anymore!”
…
Soon!
It seemed like Lu Qiang had an idea!
He stepped toward the small pond—
He had awakened the Power of Ice!
Facing the flame frog, he had a significant advantage—water conquers fire; this is the suppression of a natural Law!
Thinking of this!
His eyes sparkled with confidence:
“It’s time to show these people my strength!”
Then!
Lu Qiang took a deep breath!
His whole body emitted waves of cold air!
Even the surrounding temperature dropped significantly!
He slowly walked to the edge of the pond!
Bent down.
Before the frog could react!
He extended one of his hands into the water!
A surge of powerful Power of Ice gushed out—
The water in the pond rapidly froze into ice!
Some minute organisms floating in the water!
Were also frozen in that moment.
The pond instantly turned silver and white!
The ice crept up!
Climbing onto the giant rock!
Until it spread to the frog’s feet!
…
All of this!
Happened Rapidly!
And silently!
The frog clearly hadn’t realized what had occurred!
Its feet were firmly frozen in the ice!
No longer able to leap freely!
…
“Ribbit!”
Suddenly!
A flash of light glinted in its eyes!
The onlookers were startled by the sound of the frog croaking!
They hurriedly ducked for cover!
But!
Nothing happened!
The frog didn’t have any dramatic reaction either.
It continued to crouch there, motionless.
…
Then!
Lu Qiang stepped onto the frozen pond!
In the frog’s watchful eyes.
He took slow, cautious steps towards it!
And the frog tilted its head, widening its eyes!
Seeming to quietly observe the person approaching it!
…
Lu Qiang walked gingerly!
Each step was extremely careful!
He knew very well—
Although the frog was frozen at the moment!
If it was startled!
It would unleash a world-destroying fire attack!
Thus!
He had to remain calm, avoiding any sound that might startle the frog.
…
And the reason he dared to do so!
Was because!
He just noticed something—
This frog doesn’t actively attack people!
Only when threatened or harmed!
Will it release its Flame Ability for self-defense.
Also, it doesn’t pursue relentlessly!
…
Therefore!
He decided to use a gentler approach!
To attempt to tame this Fierce Beast!
…
Finally!
Lu Qiang walked up to the frog and stood face-to-face.
“Goo-ga!”
The frog looked puzzled, squatting there.
And Lu Qiang gazed into its eyes for a long time!
Attempting to communicate through eye contact—
Little frog!
Don’t be afraid!
I won’t harm you!
I just want to capture you to exchange for supplies!
Suddenly!
The frog began to attempt jumping!
Trying to break free from its frozen feet!
Lu Qiang was startled!
Instinctively said:
“Don’t move! Don’t move!”
“I just want to communicate with you!”
Unexpectedly!
The frog seemed to understand his words!
And actually stopped moving!
Seeing that!
Lu Qiang was overjoyed!
Anticipating that this frog must belong to him!
…
But suddenly!
There were sharp cries from the crowd:
“Don’t let that kid get away with it!”
“That frog has clearly been exhausted to the limit and can’t resist anymore!”
“How can we let him snatch the prize?!”
The next moment!
A figure rushed towards the pond!
And seeing someone take the lead!
The other Superpower Users followed later!
…
“Damn it!”
Lu Qiang was furious!
Unexpectedly at the crucial moment!
These people ran out to interfere!
…
However!
The frog’s counterattack was even quicker—
“Goo-ga!”
Its eyes flashed with flame!
A powerful fire wave attacked Lu Qiang!
Lu Qiang hurriedly activated his Ice Ability!
Condensing an Ice Shield!
But even so!
He was shaken back several steps by the huge impact!
The Ice Shield instantly melted!
Because he was too close!
His clothes were scorched by the flames!
The burning pain covered his entire body!
“Damn, so close!”
Lu Qiang gritted his teeth in rage!
But at this moment!
Those frenzied people!
Had already launched an attack on the frog.
Another chaotic battle began!
Lu Qiang could only temporarily retreat to the edge of the pond!
…
However!
Their attacks!
Appear so weak and ineffective in front of the frog’s flames!
“Goo-ga!”
The flames swept like a tide!
Many people caught in the flames!
Instantly burned into balls of fire!
Fell to the ground, groaning in pain!
…
And the frog still innocently squatted there.
Seemingly not understanding.
Why these humans keep coming to die?
…
Seeing all of this, Lu Qiang felt even angrier—
Victory was just within reach!
Yet these lunatics insisted on rushing in!
Wasting so many lives for nothing!
…
He no longer wanted to play with these fools!
But!
A strong sense of duty surged within him—
No way!
Cannot give up!
He had sworn!
To provide a life free from want for his sister!
To prove his strength to Lin Lang!
These thoughts!
Fueled his spirit!
Driving him to approach the frog once more!
“I am the mighty Qiang!”
Lu Qiang roared!
Released all the cold from his body!
His Ice Ability!
At this moment seemed to transform!
The cold wind blew!
The pond was frozen again!
And the frog!
Was firmly trapped in the giant ice block he condensed!
…
And those who were wailing in the water before!
Were also frozen!
Unable to cause more trouble!
Before long!
The frozen frog!
Gradually shrunk in size!
Until it turned into an apple-sized, blood-red Crystal Ball!
And Lu Qiang!
Exhausted from excessive use of his ability!
Collapsed to the ground.
