Hearing this, Ming Li's expression faltered, her lips twitching.
After a long silence, Ming Li walked towards the well indicated by the system. Looking down, she saw twelve toads inside, stacked in a straight line, struggling to climb out of the well...
Ming Li, "......"
"Bang—"
At that moment, the lowest toad couldn't hold on any longer, its feet slipped, and it fell to the ground. Then, the toads on its body followed, falling to the ground...
Seeing this, Ming Li, "......"
Just then, one of the toads rubbed its backside and accidentally looked up towards the well opening. It then met a pair of somewhat familiar eyes and subconsciously called out, "Big Sister?"
Hearing this, the other toads, with some sadness, said, "What are you thinking? How could Big Sister be here? Little Seven, you must have bumped your head and gotten confused!"
The toad called Little Seven rubbed his eyes and looked towards the well opening again. After two seconds, his voice, filled with surprise, echoed in the well, "It really is Big Sister! I didn't see wrong! Hurry up and look! Big Sister is right above!"
Hearing this, the other toads froze. They subconsciously looked up, their gazes fixed on the well opening. As soon as they saw Ming Li standing at the well opening, excited toad voices erupted from the bottom of the well.
Ming Li, "......" What kind of toad gathering was this...
"Noisy!"
Upon hearing this, the excitedly gesticulating toads instinctively shut their mouths and all looked at Ming Li.
Ming Li rubbed her forehead, looking speechless.
After a while, she found a rope and lowered it into the well.
Before long, the toads climbed out along the rope.
The big black dog beside them tilted its head in confusion upon seeing the little ones suddenly appear. One of its heads curiously asked, "Why are you still here?"
"Cough cough cough!"
Hearing this, one toad coughed awkwardly, glanced at Ming Li, and blushingly explained, "Well... we were preparing to leave here, but... I accidentally fell into that well, and to save me, they all fell in too..."
Ming Li, "......"
As Ming Li was speechless, a toad sidled up to her and said anxiously, "It's bad! Big Sister, the Queen is actually a witch! We were cursed by her magic to become like this! Father King is in danger!"
Ming Li, "And then?"
"Big Sister, quickly go back and tell Father King to be careful of Hong Anna! We're going to find a kind witch to help us undo the curse."
Ming Li was silent for a moment. She looked at the group of toads on the ground, then looked away. Suddenly, she took out her silver sword and made a small cut on her fair finger.
Scarlet blood flowed from the cut. Just as the drop of blood was about to fall to the ground, it suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Ming Li calmly clasped her hands together, rapidly forming hand seals. The next second, everyone present saw that drop of blood transform into a small array emitting a strange red glow...
Before long, the array split into twelve smaller arrays.
As Ming Li stopped forming hand seals, the twelve arrays merged into the bodies of the toads.
After a flash of red light, twelve extremely beautiful young men and women appeared before Ming Li.
However, their expressions were all blank, as if they had no idea what had happened.
