CHAPTER 1757: CHAPTER 1757: THIS GUY LIES LIKE A PRO

"Wait a minute!"

Within the mist, Edward Miller suddenly stopped, turning to look behind him, "Something’s following us."

The two exchanged glances, each seeing the expectation in the other’s eyes.

Could it be the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros?

"Hide!"

They dropped the Mystic Water Toad they were holding, and Carson Flores casually threw the Array Flags of the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Formation around, preparing for battle.

The mist swept through, and a massive figure emerged from it. It was a Single-Horned Rhino, its horn not the ordinary black of a rhino, but as crystalline as jade, with light flowing over it, changing colors, looking very mystical.

Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros!

Carson Flores and Edward Miller were overjoyed but didn’t rush to attack.

The Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros walked out of the mist, reaching the Mystic Water Toad’s corpse with a mix of excitement and confusion.

It had followed the strong scent but found only a dead demonic beast in front of it.

Could this dead beast run here?

It looked around but found nothing unusual, so it stopped being concerned and began to tear at the Mystic Water Toad’s body, feasting.

"What do we do?"

Carson Flores was momentarily confused, should they rush forth to strike?

Though the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros was known to be gentle, the sight of it devouring flesh with blood streaming down meant it was a formidable predator, comparable to a Peak Heavenly Immortal. If it got angry, who could withstand it?

Yet without confronting it, how could they obtain the horn of the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros?

The two looked at each other, momentarily unable to think of an effective method.

Should they just go out and greet it?

Wasn’t there someone before who managed to take its horn without a fight?

"Will the poison from the Mystic Water Toad have any effect?"

Carson Flores observed carefully, answering, "It’s tearing at an area that hasn’t been poisoned, probably not effective."

Edward Miller smiled wryly, "We weren’t prepared. If we had known, we would have hidden some Poison Pills on the Mystic Water Toad, waited for it to be poisoned and weakened, then seized the chance to take its horn!"

Carson Flores sighed, "Whatever, let’s show ourselves, and if not, try using the Formation to see if we can trap it."

Carson Flores pondered whether releasing cold air from the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Formation could slowly freeze it, then take its horn?

The two emerged from their hiding spot, and the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros, while eating, suddenly lifted its head, its eyes wary as it looked at Carson Flores and Edward Miller.

Carson Flores appraised the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros, inwardly amazed. Even though it’s a terrifying beast equivalent to a Peak Heavenly Immortal, you’re really serious with those doe-like wary eyes?

Don’t you know how powerful you are?

Carson Flores extended his right hand, attempting to communicate with the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros, "Hi, don’t be nervous, we need your horn, but we won’t harm your life..."

Before Carson Flores could finish speaking, someone suddenly approached from the air.

"You two kids, have you seen my Five Poisons Hall disciples... huh?"

The Sect Master of the Five Poisons Hall, an elder known as Poison Elder, emerged from the mist, his gaze suddenly attracted to the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros ahead.

"Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros!"

Poison Elder’s eyes sparkled with delight, "There really is one."

Carson Flores and Edward Miller exchanged a look, a deep sense of vigilance and crisis rising in their eyes.

This elder exuded an unsettling, formidable pressure.

Moreover, he mentioned ’my Five Poisons Hall disciples,’ and considering his age, could he be the Sect Master of the Five Poisons Hall, Poison Elder?

The very one feared even by other Peak Heavenly Immortals and Immortal Monarchs?

Poison Elder’s gaze fell on the corpse of the Mystic Water Toad, his brows furrowing, "The wounds on this Mystic Water Toad are from the Poison Array of my Five Poisons Hall, yet the Mystic Water Toad is dead here, and my disciples are also gone... who killed them?"

Poison Elder’s gaze turned to Carson Flores and Edward Miller, his eyes ominous, filled with killing intent.

Carson Flores swiftly answered, "They clashed with a masked man, got trapped in his Formation, and were all slaughtered..."

Edward Miller blinked instinctively, resisting the urge to turn his head.

This guy sure lies smoothly!

Poison Elder coldly said, "Since you watched, why weren’t you also killed, and why is the Mystic Water Toad’s corpse with you?"

Carson Flores remained unfazed, taking out the Immortal Palace Order, infusing it with Spiritual Energy to project an image, "Because I am an Immortal Palace Envoy."

Poison Elder frowned, but accepted Carson Flores’s explanation.

While he didn’t respect the Celestial Palace much, it didn’t mean he dared to openly defy it.

Without any life-critical interests, why take such risks?

Opposing the Celestial Palace, could the Five Poisons Hall still survive?

Perhaps that masked man had the same thought, which is why he spared Carson Flores.

"Why did he kill my Five Poisons Hall disciples?"

Carson Flores explained, "The Five Poisons Hall disciples found a lake and discovered the Mystic Water Toad there, setting up an Earthbound Array and Poison Array to poison it. The masked man also arrived, but the Five Poisons Hall disciples asked him to leave, saying the Mystic Water Toad was already theirs."

"The masked man, however, had no regard, even attacking first and killing the Mystic Water Toad, leading to a fight between the parties..."
