But in this way, the Big Toad was really in for a hard time.
It never imagined that eating meat could actually become a bitter chore.
Watching as it gulped down a dozen Spirit Pigs in one go, its belly grew round and bulged, even a pleading look surfaced in its eyes.
Ji Yuan finally let it off the hook.
Mainly because Ji Yuan himself, having rested for most of the day, was about to break through.
Just buying the Spirit Pigs had taken so long already, and now that he'd finally gathered enough Quenching Acupoint Pearls, he couldn't afford to wait any longer.
Delay invites trouble.
Better to convert resources into strength while he could.
A thousand birds in the forest aren't worth one in the hand.
Ji Yuan stood up from the tree, gestured elaborately to the motionless Big Toad, and only after a lot of demonstration did the beast finally get it.
With it guarding him, Ji Yuan felt at ease about his breakthrough.
