Chapter 13 Toad Poison

Chapter 13 Toad Poison

In ancient times, the heaven and earth gave birth to all living things. There were several creatures that were extremely poisonous from birth, and the toad was one of them. However, the toad in ancient times was not the most toxic among all poisons. Whenever it competed with other poisons, it always lost. The toad was unwilling to give up and was determined to become the most poisonous creature in the world, so it had been struggling to find a way to increase its own toxicity.

By chance, it learned that the demons in the demon world had the most poisonous thing in the world. If you eat that thing, you will become the "most poisonous person in the world". So, the toad went into the demon world alone to look for the demons.

After the toad arrived at the demon world, he found that there were huge man-eating plants growing everywhere in the demon world. If he was not careful, he would be devoured by those plants. Therefore, he could only crawl slowly to ensure that he would not disturb those things. Until one day, he finally passed through the jungle full of man-eating plants and came to the entrance of a cave. From outside the cave, he could clearly feel the terrifying breath emanating from the cave. The toad knew that it was the breath of the devil, but he was not afraid at all. In order to become the most poisonous creature in the world, he resolutely jumped into the cave.

The devil in the cave was sitting in front of the mirror, looking at his own appearance. On the table next to his left hand, there was a crystal clear round plate with several bright red balls on it. They seemed to be beating regularly, and blood-red liquid was flowing out of them. The devil picked up one of them, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully. Liquid mixed with saliva and blood kept flowing out of the corner of his mouth. The devil's appearance changed visibly after eating that thing. The originally dry and wrinkled skin became tender and bright, and looked particularly beautiful in the mirror. The devil turned his head and looked at himself in the mirror carefully, smiling foolishly, obviously very satisfied.

Toad approached and asked, "Master Devil, what do you eat?"

The devil was in a good mood. He glanced at the toad crawling at his feet and said with a smile: "This is the most delicious thing in the world, but also the most poisonous thing."

Toad asked, "Is it more poisonous than the poison of snakes and centipedes?"

The devil asked, "How powerful are the poisons of snakes and centipedes?"

The toad said, "The centipede's poison is so strong that even an elephant would die instantly. Just two drops of snake poison can kill the entire village."

The devil laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "What's that? What I eat is the human heart, which is the most poisonous thing in the world. My poison is not only contagious, but can also be passed on to the descendants of the poisoned person. If anyone is poisoned by this, no matter who they are, they will be willing to become my slave. This is the real poison."

Hearing this, the toad pleaded, "My Lord Devil, I have always dreamed of becoming the most poisonous creature in the world. If you can let me taste a human heart, I am willing to do anything for you."

The devil laughed and said, "If you are willing to be my pet, I can feed you with my heart every day until you become the most poisonous thing in the world."

The toad nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes! Yes! Please allow me to be your pet!"

In this way, the toad became the devil's pet. After it ate the 999th heart, its body changed dramatically. It was nine times bigger than before, but more agile. Its originally dark skin became golden, and the sweat from its skin dripped onto the ground and immediately turned into golden beads. The devil caressed the golden toad and said to it gently, "You have become the most poisonous thing in the world. Go, my child, you should go to the human world and let all living things crawl at your feet."

The golden toad left the demon world and came to a village. Wherever it went, the sweat on its body dripped down and immediately turned into gold. Seeing this, the villagers regarded it as a god. Every day they sent it a lot of food and built a comfortable house for it, just hoping that the golden toad would pity their hard work and give them a few drops of the golden toad's mucus. The golden toad enjoyed the feeling of being served and never spared his sweat.

Until one day, people from the neighboring village found something strange and knew about the existence of the golden toad. They tried every means to invite the golden toad to their village. The golden toad felt that the people here were very kind to him, so he refused the request of the chief of the neighboring village. The people from the neighboring village were unwilling to accept this and went to argue with the people of their own village. They said, "The golden toad should belong to both villages and should not be monopolized by one village." The chief of their own village naturally refused to agree. So people from both villages picked up weapons and beat each other. Many people were killed and injured, but both sides still had no intention of stopping.

Jin Chan couldn't bear it, so he said, "Don't fight anymore. I can give sweat to both of your villages at the same time. The amount will not be less than before."

The people of the two villages stopped fighting and returned to their normal lives. However, in the previous fight, the seeds of greed, jealousy, and hatred had already been planted in people's hearts, and this calm only lasted for a short time. People in the two villages coveted the gold beads owned by each other, and gradually thefts and robberies occurred, and the conflict was once again aroused. This time it was much more intense than the last time, not to mention that people from the neighboring village were regarded as enemies. Even people in the same village no longer trusted each other. In the end, there was even a situation where the father of a family took the grandfather's gold beads, and the son came to take the father's gold beads...

It was as if people were infected with a contagious and hereditary "poison" and wanted to kill anyone who tried to snatch the gold beads from them. People's greed was far beyond the expectations of the Golden Toad, and even it itself could no longer control these people who were already deeply poisoned. There was no final winner in this war. Until the last two people died together, both sides still held tightly the gold beads they had snatched...

No one came to bring food to the golden toad anymore. The golden toad walked slowly into the village. With every step, the sweat drops from his body fell to the ground and turned into golden beads. However, the corpses lying on the ground could never stand up and pick up those things. Seeing the corpses on the ground, he felt extremely sad and lonely. So this is the power of the world's first poison that the devil said...

Suddenly, he saw a little boy crawling on the ground, crawling towards it, as if to pick up the golden beads on the ground. The golden toad looked at him silently, tears flowing from its huge eyes. The little boy came to the golden toad, but surprisingly did not reach out for the golden beads, but picked up a rattle that fell on the ground and started playing with it, making a "clang clang clang" sound.

Jin Chan's eyes lit up, and he asked the little boy, "What's your name?"

The little boy replied: "My name is Liu Hai, what's your name?"

Jin Chan smiled and replied, "My name is Jin Chan."

The golden toad put the only surviving little boy on his back, and disappeared into the twilight, carrying him step by step...
