Liang Yuan shouted, "Zhao Kai, freeze its tongue!"
"On it!"
Zhao Kai roared, pressing his hands onto the tongue.
In an instant, ice fog spouted, and the saliva-covered tongue rapidly froze and stiffened.
The Frog Monster croaked loudly, gradually engulfed by the ice fog. Frost spread rapidly, reaching its mouth in the blink of an eye.
Its mouth instantly filled with cold air, freezing solid.
Seizing the opportunity, Liang Yuan immediately unleashed his Spiritual Power, slamming it toward the Frog Monsterās head.
"Great chance, while it canāt move, letās test this beastās Spiritual Strength!"
The Spirit Shock skill was deployed, and in a flash, the violent Spiritual Power fiercely struck the Frog Monsterās head.
Bang!
The Frog Monsterās head buzzed, its bulging eyes widening instantly.
Blood streaks cracked open in its eyes, and blood continuously flowed from the protruding frog eyes.
"Itās dead!"
Liang Yuan felt a surge of joy. Under the Spirit Shock, the Frog Monsterās Sea of Consciousness instantly collapsed!
"It seems the Frog Monsterās Spiritual Strength wasnāt that high. With my Spiritual Strength of 10.7, deploying Spirit Shock could immediately destroy this creatureās Sea of Consciousness!"
"If Iād known this earlier, I would have used [Spirit Shock] to attack it during the day, and wouldnāt have ended up so embarrassed."
Liang Yuan stood up smiling and said to Zhao Kai, "Itās done. Quickly check if those two are alright."
Zhao Kai hastily went to check on Yang Shenmin, while Liang Yuan went to check on Shi Haizhu.
Upon reaching Shi Haizhuās side, Liang Yuan checked and was surprised to find that Shi Haizhu wasnāt injured at all!
Moreover, on his chest, a stone was emitting a faint glow, being slowly absorbed by him.
Liang Yuan looked at the stone, raising his eyebrows: "Spirit Stone?"
This white stone was the Superpower Version Spirit Stone shown to him by Elder Lin.
It contained some kind of energy that could be absorbed by a bodyās superpower, thereby restoring consumed superpower.
Liang Yuan recalled the earth-colored glow that had just emanated from Shi Haizhu, lost in thought.
"Looks like this Shi Haizhu has awakened a Mutant Ability."
"Can this Superpower Version Spirit Stone also help people awaken Mutant Abilities?"
This made him place even more value on the Superpower Version Spirit Stone.
"Brother Liang, come quickly and check on Dr. Yang!"
On the other side, Zhao Kai called urgently for Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan rushed over to see Dr. Yang with noticeable bulges on his back, likely from broken bones.
His expression turned serious, "First, apply a cold compress to his wound and get them both to our room."
"Heās a doctor, try to wake him up and ask what to do."
"Alright."
The two of them each carried one person, quickly heading upstairs.
Zhao Kai couldnāt help but say, "Brother Liang, he seems to have awakened a Mutant Ability. Why isnāt he healed?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "This injury was obviously caused after his awakening, different from your previous condition."
"Iām not sure if his spine is injured. Letās hope it doesnāt affect his mobility."
Liang Yuan sighed, and Zhao Kai couldnāt help but feel sad for Yang Shenmin.
It was hard to awaken, only to suffer such severe injuries.
When they reached the thirty-second floor, they found Elder Lin and others already gathered at the door of 3208.
Seeing them, Elder Linās face lit up with joy and he hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Liang, something happened! Monsters have entered the building!"
He walked over, his expression changing again, "Oh no, Dr. Yang, Zhuzi! What happened? Were they chased by that beast?"
Liang Yuan asked, "Werenāt you with them?"
"I was on the sixteenth floor earlier, avoiding the beast, and ran back to the third unit. I climbed up from the stairs in the third unit."
"Letās not talk about this now. That Frog Monster has already been dealt with; letās focus on saving people first."
Liang Yuan said, sending Shi Haizhu and Yang Shenmin into the room.
Elder Lin quickly said, "Mr. Liang, there is more than one Frog Monster. Thereās one in the fourth unit, and in the fifth and sixth units too. I just heard screams coming from over there."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuanās brow furrowed, "More? How many in total?"
"Uh, Iām not sure, but definitely more than two."
Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai exchanged glances, and he immediately said, "Zhao Kai and I will go check. Daoist Lin, you stay here and take care of them."
"Thank you, thank you both."
Daoist Lin thanked them profusely, grateful. Without Liang Yuan, those Frog Monsters might have slaughtered everyone in the building tonight.
Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai quickly left the room.
Zhao Kai couldnāt help but ask, "Brother Liang, isnāt this seawater? How come there are frogs?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "If fish have mutated, why is it strange for frogs to appear in seawater?"
"The issue isnāt the few Frog Monsters. Havenāt you noticed the increasing variety of creatures in the water?"
"Previously, there were just Mutant Fish, Mutant Crabs, and Mutant Lobsters. Now even Mutant Frogs are appearing."
"We must accelerate the construction of our raft. The sooner we leave here, the better."
"With more creatures emerging in the floodwater, weāll encounter more monsters. By then, leaving here will be even harder."
Zhao Kai nodded solemnly. He finally understood Liang Yuanās concerns.
Before the flood, there were far more aquatic creatures than terrestrial ones.
Now that the flood had come, reducing land area, these aquatic creatures had mutated sooner.
More and more water monsters were likely to appear.
As they spoke, they had already rushed to the fifth unit.
They heard faint screams from the stairs.
The two exchanged looks and immediately dashed into the stairs.
Both of them had physical abilities surpassing ordinary people, leaping nearly half a flight with each jump, swiftly heading downstairs.
On the nineteenth floor, they encountered a Frog Monster.
The ground was already covered with bloody, mangled corpses.
The Frog Monster stomped on humans, using its tongue to wrap around and swallow the remaining bodies.
The scene was extremely gruesome.
