Chapter 283: Legless Frog!

Water waves were soft, and vines scattered fluorescent light.

In the empty and quiet cave, the fiery fur of the red firebird was crumpled in the corner, and a little mud and sand fell on the folds.

The boulder was replaced by a light blue long skin, emitting a faint coolness.

The toad lay on the blue skin, its claws stretched and curled, and a few square sticks rolled on its white belly.

It picked up two long sticks, put them together along the matching gaps, and threw them on its belly after not even

Bored to death.

The six-sided lock was very novel when first played with, but after learning how to solve it, it became dull and tasteless, leaving one in a state of wanting to touch it and not wanting to touch it at the same time.

"No new ships for several days! I wonder when the little brother will come."

The toad sighed, and a frenzy swept through the entire cave.

The water vines rooted in the rock wall turned into coiled snakes, firmly hooking onto various objects to prevent them from being blown away.

Just as the toad was idle, holding a wooden stick in its mouth to play with, three blurry black shadows appeared outside the cave.

Through the shadows, one could see that all three black figures had short, fat bodies and long, thin limbs; they swam forward by alternating kicks and retractions of their two thick hind legs.

Boom!

Mud and sand rolled.

An old toad, not even as big as the toad's palm and looking rough and bumpy, landed on the ground with its hands behind its back, kicking up a rolling mist of sand.

Following closely behind the old toad, two more green-skinned frogs landed.

The two frogs were much larger, and the dust they kicked up was even more violent, reaching over ten meters, instantly covering the old toad's figure.

"Cough, cough, Fatty! Second Fatty! How many times have I told you, land lightly, land lightly! Don't steal my limelight!"

"But Elder, you landed the same way."

"I am an Elder! I am an Elder! Elders don't need to land lightly! Elders do! Not! Need! To land! Lightly!"

The old toad jumped up to pick a fight, raining fierce blows on the heads of the two big frogs.

"Fatty and Second Fatty were wrong."

The two big frogs lowered their heads to admit their mistake.

Only then did the old toad stop. It turned around and jumped in front of the true master of the cave, its face full of flattery: "Great King! Great King! The supreme divine weapon you wanted, this old subject has forged it for you!"

Without the old fellow saying anything, the toad had already noticed the "supreme divine weapon" on the backs of Fatty and Second Fatty.

The divine weapon had a long shaft, with the top splitting into a crescent shape on both sides, each end tipped with a small pointed shovel.

In terms of design, it was exactly the same as the iron anchor the little brother had given it!

Good, good, good!

The toad was thrilled. It stepped forward, grabbed the divine weapon, shouldered it, and began to dance the great anchor around its body according to the martial arts it had learned.

The great anchor stirred the wind and clouds, raising a dust storm and triggering surging vibrations.

The vines guarding the cave inside grew rapidly, weaving a net to block the entrance.

The momentum was so fierce that it penetrated through layers of waves, affecting the Jianghuai River; the windless and waveless great marsh was whipped into a frenzy, with towering waves!

If there were anyone nearby, it would surely mean the destruction of their ship and loss of life!

"The Great King is invincible under heaven!"

"The Great King is the number one frog under heaven!"

"The Great King is the most wonderful, beautiful frog under heaven!"

The two green-skinned frogs hopped around, clapping their webbed feet and shouting loudly in praise.

Seeing its own Great King so mighty, no longer obsessed with those useless, clever, and lewd tricks of the human race, the old toad felt a pang of sorrow, and old tears streamed down its face.

"The Great King ordered this old subject to forge such a supreme divine weapon, surely to slay that evil dragon, retake the Dragon Palace, and restore the past glory of the demon court!

Great King! This old subject has waited so bitterly for this day, but since the sovereign commands the subject, the subject must wait, even unto death without regret.

Today, having obtained this divine weapon, why worry that the great cause will not be accomplished! Even if that dragon occupies the legacy, it is nothing more than a person sticking a sign on their head to be beheaded! The one who can lead the aquatic tribes of the world must be our Water Toad clan!"

The old toad was impassioned, its spit flying and mixing into the water.

The two green-skinned frogs secretly raised their webbed feet to fan away the surrounding water.

Toad King finished warming up, put down the great anchor, and dug at the circle behind its eyes.

Here it comes again.

Ever since becoming one of the four pillars of the Great Marsh Demon Court, the old toad had been whispering in its ear all day about unifying the Jianghuai, moving into the Dragon Palace, and enjoying three thousand beautiful frogs.

It often collected human military books and classics, styling itself as Frog Taigong, the Frog Gentleman of Jiangzuo, talking about the hegemony of the frog kingdom whenever it met other frogs, wanting to let the fish of the waters pay taxes and the frogs have fish to eat, enjoying a peaceful and prosperous age.

What Dragon Palace, what beautiful frogs.

Not as good as ship models.

If it hadn't been raised by the old toad since it was small, the toad wouldn't even want to listen.

It leaned against the cave entrance and dozed off. Just as the old toad was talking until its mouth was dry and paused for a moment, the toad came back to its senses, thinking the old toad had finished, and waved its hand to let the frogs go back, not expecting the dark current passage not far away to suddenly surge and expand.

The fat catfish tumbled out of the passage, spinning wildly. Seeing it was about to land on the ground, it struggled, forcibly creating a whirlpool in the water, and after spinning a circle, it landed steadily.

Having traveled back and forth so many times, it had successfully mastered a cool landing posture!

It didn't eat a single mouthful of sand!

At the cave entrance, the sudden appearance of the fat catfish startled the old toad into jumping and screaming.

"Assassin! There's an assassin! Fatty! Second Fatty, protect the sovereign! Quickly, protect the sovereign!

Damn it! If the sovereign is not secretive, the subject is lost; if the subject is not secretive, the body is lost. It's all this old subject's fault for being blinded by desire and telling the frog lady at the village entrance about the Great King forging the divine weapon, letting that evil dragon get wind of it!

Great King, rest assured, even if this old subject has to risk their life, I will slay this assassin under the frog!

Bold thief! How dare you assassinate the sovereign! Today I will ensure you have no way back, hand over your life!"

The fat catfish had just rushed out of the dark current and, before it could greet the toad, first saw an old toad that looked rough and bumpy jumping up and down, shouting loudly, and then picking up a stone and rushing over, only to be picked up by its toad big brother just as it jumped out.

What's the situation?

Are there other frogs?

The stone tore through the water and smashed into the mud and sand.

The old toad was held by its arms and suspended in the air, its two legs kicking back and forth.

"Great King, don't worry about this old subject. To die for one's child is filial piety, to die for one's sovereign is loyalty; what does it matter if this old subject dies!"

The toad's face wrinkled together. After a moment, its eyes rolled: "Elder is wrong, it is also a frog!"

The old toad was stunned and stopped kicking. It lowered its head to look at the fat catfish below.

A frog?

This thing is a frog?

The old toad fell into a self-doubting loop. On the other side, the toad thought more and more, weaving a more complete story, sounding certain and irrefutable.

"How is unifying the Jianghuai aquatic tribes enough? The frog clan's vision cannot be limited to the small Jianghuai Great Marsh; it should be more far-reaching.

We move freely both underwater and on land, so we should eat from both ends! That frog is exceptionally intelligent; it is a scout I specially selected and planted by the river! That's why it often travels through the dark currents!"

The old toad struggled free. It jumped in front of the fat catfish, hugged the fat catfish's chubby face, pressed its eyes against it, and its gaze was full of suspicion.

"You are also of the frog clan?"

The fat catfish struggled free from the old toad's webbed feet, patted its own belly with its fins, indicating that it had a white belly just like the frog clan, slippery, chubby, and without scales, exactly the same as a frog!

"Since you are a frog, why do you have no limbs?"

The old toad's eyes were full of scrutiny.

The fat catfish couldn't turn the corner, frantically transmitting information, looking for a way to break the situation. Suddenly, the god's voice let it break through the clouds and see the blue sky.

Facing the old toad, the fat catfish lowered its head dejectedly, sighing incessantly.

"I asked why you have no limbs, why are you sighing?"

The fat catfish brewed its emotions, looked up at the water surface at a forty-five-degree angle, and gestured with its two long whiskers.

"Escaped from a snake's mouth since I was small, lost my limbs!"

The old toad was dumbfounded.

The fat catfish nodded vigorously, its face tragic.

From now on, it is a new variety of the frog clan—the footless frog!
