With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 575 Inheritance (38)

After the elders all calmed down, Lin Fan was able to turn his attention back to the Control Toad.

The Control Toad had been laying there as if it didn't have a single care in the world, but there was something that it was supposed to be doing.

Lin Fan had left it with a task while he had been explaining the situation to the elders.

So when he saw the Control Toad laying there without a single care, his lip couldn't help twitching.

Lin Fan walked right up to the Control Toad who raised a foot as if it was greeting him. But Lin Fan wasn't in any mood to play with it, so he grabbed the Control Toad by the head and lifted it up before saying, "Stop playing around and get to work already."

When the Control Toad was lifted off the ground like this, it immediately started to panic.

It waved its hands around as if it was trying to say that it wasn't what it seemed like.

During this time, the snitch that had been watching over the Control Toad floated down and moved back and forth, as if it was saying, "Can I take it out now?"

The Control Toad panicked even more when it saw this and it quickly gestured with its hands to show that it was being misunderstood. The Control Toad quickly pointed behind the two of them as if it was trying to say something.

When Lin Fan turned around, he saw that there was a row of spirit beasts that was putting on a performance for him.

Seeing this, he couldn't help shaking his head, but he let go of the Control Toad in the end.

The Control Toad fell to the ground, but it didn't mind at all as it jumped up onto Lin Fan's shoulder and then it started rubbing up against him as if it was sucking up to him.

The more that Lin Fan saw how this Control Toad behaved, the more he couldn't help feeling embarrassed by it.

This thing…it was a natural coward that sucked up to anyone that was more powerful than it. The only thing that it cared about was its own life and as long as it could save it, it would do anything.

He couldn't help feeling that it would betray him one day if there was a strong enemy that attacked him…

But for now, he just accepted the Control Toad as it was since it had a useful ability.

This was something that he wanted for the future, so he would accept the Control Toad's 'unique' personality for now.

After rubbing up against Lin Fan for a bit, the Control Toad turned to look at the snitch with a smug look on its face. It gestured towards the puppets as if it was bragging about them, bragging about how useful it was.

The snitch didn't move for a bit before it suddenly dashed forward towards the Control Toad.

When the Control Toad saw this, it immediately went back to hide behind Lin Fan's neck.

In the end, Lin Fan had to separate the two of them before they really started a fight.

After separating them, Lin Fan couldn't help looking at the Control Toad with a strange look.

This toad, not only was a coward, but it had a contradictory second personality where it was a show off. It seemed that once it knew that it wasn't in danger and could show off, it wouldn't hesitate to do so.

It had the two most annoying and dangerous personalities wrapped up in one individual…

This toad really was something else.

No matter how Lin Fan looked at it, it seemed very likely that he would be betrayed by this toad in some way in the future.

Still, he couldn't do anything to this Control Toad right now.

Well, it wasn't as if he couldn't do anything at all to it.

Lin Fan reached out to grab the head of the Control Toad and started using force to hold its head.

When the Control Toad felt this, it immediately started to panic again and bowed its head to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a strange smile when he saw this Control Toad get into a dogeza position.

It seemed that this Control Toad had really been influenced by Feng Yu or else it wouldn't know how to do this. But why did Feng Yu choose to leave such an amazing spirit beast here instead of taking it with him?

Lin Fan held the Control Toad in his hand, looking it up and down as if he was trying to find something.

The Control Toad could only act embarrassed as Lin Fan looked it all over like this.

But before either of them could do anything else, there was a voice that said, "Everyone, come over now!"

As soon as they heard this, everyone moved over to the source of this voice.

While Lin Fan had been playing around with the Control Toad, the elders had been looking around the cave. They wanted to see if there was anything special in here, especially from the corpses of the spirit beasts lying on the ground.

Even if it was disgusting, these corpses were rare spirit beasts.

If they could get some important material from them, they didn't mind getting a bit dirty.

When they came over to the elder who had shouted out, everyone immediately froze.

That was because they all saw what he had discovered.

The disciples were a bit confused since they didn't know what they were looking at, but the rest of them all knew exactly what this thing was. It was a pillar that was right up against one of the walls of this cave.

This was the same pillar that they had discovered three times before in all those different clearings. This was the same pillar that had the same meaning as a trial in their hearts.

All of them couldn't help being surprised to see it and they were shocked that they hadn't triggered it when they had moved around the room earlier.

But this pillar was just inactive, as if nothing was going to come out of it.

However, it wasn't as if they were right up against the pillar in the first place.

They had been several meters away since no one dared to get too close to the pillar.

The disciples had wanted to go forward, but the elders immediately stopped them and had one of the elders lead them out while they checked the pillar.

They just stood there observing the pillar from afar, but it wasn't as if they were able to find anything like this. This pillar was completely inactive, so it wasn't as if they would be able to find anything from it.

The only way to get any information was to get closer and see if it activated.

But if they did, then would they have to face another trial?

They were already exhausted from dealing with this whole Control Toad situation…

Lin Fan stared at this pillar for a bit before grabbing the Control Toad's head and asking, "What do you know about this?"

When the elders heard this, they snapped out of it and immediately turned to look at the Control Toad.

That's right, this place was the place that the Control Toad had made its base. So if there was anyone that knew about this pillar, then it would be the Control Toad.

However, the Control Toad immediately shook its head to show that it didn't know anything.

Lin Fan squeezed his hand tighter when he saw this and he said, "Don't play with me. This is an important thing."

The Control Toad revealed an aggrieved look when it was being squeezed like this, but it once again shook its head in response to this question. Of course, it also knew that this wouldn't be enough to convince Lin Fan, so it started gesturing as well.

Lin Fan just watched it gesture, slowly deciphering what it wanted to say.

The gist of it was that the Control Toad had no idea what this thing was, it had been here before it had even moved into this cave. And it had been here the entire time, but it never did anything, so the Control Toad completely ignored it.

At the end, the Control Toad also added, "This thing seems dangerous, so I wouldn't approach it if I were you." Or at least that was what it seemed like it was trying to say with its gesturing.

Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he saw this, but he didn't make it hard on the Control Toad.

It seemed like it was indeed telling the truth, but that wasn't strange.

Still, that didn't mean that they could just ignore the pillar and leave it here.

If something were to happen to it, then what would happen to their trial?

The elders could see the look on Lin Fan's face, so Senior Brother Ying said, "Sect master, we should go back and investigate this another day. We should regroup and rest up before we come back here. We can just leave the Control Toad's puppets to protect this place."

This was the logical and sane decision to make in this situation, but Lin Fan was anything but that right now.

This was the last trial that they needed before their final trial, so he didn't want to waste any time.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Fan grabbed the Control Toad and ignored the elders as he started moving towards the pillar.
