Chapter 1652 - 1617: I Want to Make a Deal with the Toad King

"So, you know the location of the Spider Cave?"

Zhang Hao looked at the Sky Wolf Leader, feeling a sense of excitement inside.

Judging from the leader's expression, he seemed to know this place, it seems fate had already arranged it long ago.

The Sky Wolf Leader nodded:

"That's right, I do know the place. Ten years ago, chasing a deer, I ventured into a strange forest. I never expected it to be the legendary Spider Cave."

"Ah, do you still remember that place?"

"I roughly remember the location, but..."

"But what?"

"The Spider Cave is very dangerous. There's an Emperor Level Peak venomous mother spider, along with thousands of spider demon beasts of various levels. Getting into the Spider Cave is not an easy task."

Xiao Bai said:

"Uncle, can you help Brother Yang?"

The Sky Wolf Leader smiled:

"Yang Xiao is our Sky Wolf Clan's benefactor. As long as I can help, I surely will. But this Spider Cave is really treacherous, you must know, spider demon beasts have two terrifying weapons. One is their spider silk, which can entangle you, and the other is the spider poison liquid, extremely deadly. One mistake, and it could cost you your life."

The Sky Wolf Leader looked at Yang Xiao and said:

"Benefactor, are you entering the Spider Cave for the treasure inside?"

Yang Xiao was startled, saying: "That's right, I came for the treasure inside. Do you know something?"

"Do you have the Jade Token to lift the treasure's sealing?"

"I do."

The Sky Wolf Leader thought for a moment, saying:

"The Spider Cave is deep within the mountains, not something you can enter through brute force. Moreover, it's filled with spider web traps and poison liquid; you might easily get caught."

"Can the spiders be lured out?"

"Very difficult, you must know those spiders above the Emperor Level Realm have already developed intelligence, exceptionally clever, not easy to trick."

"So, it's very hard to conquer the Spider Cave?"

"It's not impossible, but it depends on your luck."

"What do you mean?"

"About fifty kilometers from the Spider Cave, there's a nemesis of the spider demon beasts. If we can get their help, conquering the Spider Cave would be no problem."

"The nemesis of the spider demon beasts? What is it?"

"Toad demon beasts."

"Ah!"

Yang Xiao suddenly realized.

Toads are naturally the nemesis of spiders. With the help of toad demon beasts, conquering the Spider Cave would be possible.

"How can we ask the toad demon beasts for help?"

The Sky Wolf Leader smiled and said,

"That's the issue. In the Toad Swamp, there's an Emperor Level Peak Toad King, plus many smaller demon beasts. To ask the toad demon beasts for help in attacking the Spider Cave, unless you can help them obtain something."

"What is that thing?"

"I've always heard the Toad King wants the golden feathers of the Wind Eagle Beast. If you can kill a high-level Emperor Wind Eagle Beast and obtain three golden feathers, you should be able to invite the Toad King for help. However, killing a Wind Eagle Beast is no easy task; the monster flies in the skies, not something ordinary people can catch up to."

"Is it this?"

Beside him, Xiao Bai took out three golden feathers from the Space Ring and placed them in front of the Heavenly Dragon Leader.

The Sky Wolf Leader looked, his eyes frozen in shock.

"These? Where did you get the golden feathers of the Wind Eagle Beast?"

Xiao Bai smiled:

"Such luck indeed, we encountered a Wind Eagle Beast attacking us on the way here, and Brother Yang killed it. We saw these three golden feathers.

I remember my father telling me when I was little, whoever possesses three golden feathers of the Wind Eagle Beast can run as fast as the wind."

The Sky Wolf Leader looked at Yang Xiao with an unusual gleam in his eyes, saying:

"Benefactor, it seems heaven is helping you. Since it's like this, tomorrow I'll take you to the nearby swamp to request help from the Toad King."

"Okay, I'll rely on you then."

"Ah, you are our Sky Wolf Clan's benefactor, no need for formalities."

That night, Yang Xiao, Xiao Qingliu, and Xiao Bai stayed overnight in the cave.

To help Yang Xiao rest easily, the Heavenly Dragon Leader specially cleared a small cave for Yang Xiao, Xiao Qingliu, and Xiao Bai to rest.

Xiao Bai found she preferred to squeeze next to Yang Xiao, rather than sleep with other sky wolves. This subtle sensation was something she couldn't perceive before.

The next day, after breakfast, the Sky Wolf Leader brought two aides, along with Yang Xiao, Xiao Qingliu, and Xiao Bai — a group of six — departed, flying toward the swamp area two hundred kilometers away.

A few minutes later, the Sky Wolf Leader descended onto a small hill, pointing to the valley below and said:

"This is the famous Toad King Swamp area. Within a hundred kilometers, it's all the Toad King's territory. Once we enter the valley, toads will be everywhere. Be careful, don't act rashly."

Yang Xiao said:

"Alright, we'll follow your lead."

The group flew from the mountain's peak to its base, several hundred meters from the valley's entrance.

"Croak, croak!"

A loud croaking sound echoed, with about a dozen toads, four to five meters tall, leaping out from the valley, standing at its entrance.

"What do you want? This is the Toad King's territory; trespassers in the valley will be killed."

The Sky Wolf Leader took a few steps forward, saying:

"Toad brothers, I am the Sky Wolf Clan's leader. I wish to see your Toad King, could you please notify him?"

The leading toad glanced at the Sky Wolf Leader, nodded, and said:

"So it's the Sky Wolf Clan's leader; please wait, I will notify our king."

The toad leader informed the dozen toads beside him, then ran toward the valley.

The toad appeared clumsy, but with a few leaps, it vanished.

Yang Xiao realized now that on the Ancient Continent, various demon beasts had formed a social structure similar to human clans, each guarding their territory.

After a while, a dark brown toad followed the previous toad leader and ran out.

"Could this be the Toad King?"

The Sky Wolf Leader shook his head, whispered:

"No, this is just one of the Toad King's subordinates."

The dark brown toad approached, glanced at the Sky Wolf Leader, and said:

"Sky Wolf Leader, our two clans usually have no dealings. What brings you here today?"

The Sky Wolf Leader said:

"May I speak with your king?"

"The king is cultivating in the cave and has no time to see you. If you have something, just say it. I can inform the king."

"Alright, given the situation, let me be clear,"

The Sky Wolf Leader signaled Xiao Bai to show the three golden feathers.

Xiao Bai raised the three golden feathers, the opposing toad's eyes gleamed brightly upon seeing them.

The Sky Wolf Leader glanced at Xiao Bai and said:

"Put them away."

Then said to the toad:

"I have three golden feathers of the Wind Eagle Beast that the Toad King desires. If the Toad King is interested, why not come out and talk with us? I want to make a trade with the Toad King."
