The old toad found a large yellow cloth bag, wrapped the treasure fish in it, and threw it behind its back.

It pushed open the door and looked back at the six-story stone cave.

The vines emitted faint fluorescent light, climbing from the ground, covering the entire roof, reflecting on the stone walls.

Bells and tripods were displayed, and pearls and jade overflowed with treasure light under the reflection of the water waves. There were hundreds of treasure fish in the cave, all swimming freely.

"Have to tighten my belt to live again."

Bubbles floated up, and the old toad sighed leisurely. After thinking, it hardened its heart, jumped out of the cave, landed on the green-skinned frog, jumped up and down to step on its belly, stirred up a wave, and urged Fatty to hurry up.

Fatty struggled to get up, looked up, and saw the yellow cloth bag behind the old toad.

The living thing revealed a fish shape as it struggled, the surrounding water surged, very powerful, clearly a treasure fish of very high quality!

Frog life!

The Elder is for real!

Something is wrong! There is twelve percent something wrong!

Fatty's eyes were full of worry, and it asked with concern: "Is the Elder feeling unwell?"

"Unwell? Very unwell."

Hearing this, the old toad wrinkled its old face, as if it were really uncomfortable.

It clutched its chest, swayed, and collapsed on the green-skinned frog's belly, its body hunched into a small ball.

Pain, too painful.

Since the Great King grew up, how long has it been since it gave anything to a frog?

It really has given too much for the frog clan, and all its tears can only be shed at night.

The green-skinned frog was shocked.

"The Elder must have eaten something bad, quickly vomit your stomach! My mom taught me, if you eat something bad, vomit your stomach and clean it out!"

Saying that, Fatty grabbed the old toad and wanted to pry open its mouth.

"Traitor!" The old toad suddenly opened its eyes, pushed away Fatty's webbed feet, hugged the green-skinned frog's head, gave it a big headbutt, and pointed to the distance, "You stupid frog, I'm heartbroken! Not a stomachache! Now, immediately, right now, go to the Great King's place!"

Fatty's head sank, not daring to speak again, and hurriedly carried the Elder back to the Great King's cave.

"The frog public spits out food, and the world returns to the heart!"

The toad and Fatty and Second Fatty only watched the old toad scream, jump into the dark current with the yellow cloth bag on its back, and disappear.

The three frogs stared at each other.

"Who is the frog public?"

At the entrance of the underground river, water grass swayed in the cracks.

Cannot Move lay motionless in the stones, blending in with the surrounding environment.

It looked up and saw the old toad jumping over, and sent a message to Liang Qu through the spiritual link.

"The old toad is here! Everyone, attention!"

Liang Qu told the fat catfish the message. The fat catfish slapped the water, and the pond in the middle immediately restored order in celebration.

Those who work work, those who sunbathe sunbathe, those who blow bubbles blow bubbles.

The old toad climbed up from the water, shook off the water stains, and seeing everyone working hard, felt that the frog clan was flourishing.

It took down the yellow cloth bag from behind, grabbed the bag mouth, and raised its head.

"Today I will let you see the good treasures from the deep water area! So that you little frogs know that I, Frog Taigong, never treat meritorious frogs unfairly!"

The fat catfish leaned to the shore, full of anticipation.

The old toad opened the bag mouth, reached in and dug, took out a treasure fish, and held it high.

The treasure fish bathed in the sunlight, its whole body glowing with colorful light, like a pearl shell, with wave patterns spreading on its sides, long whiskers extending from both sides of its mouth, and a body length of nearly a meter, jumping around.

The treasure fish the toad gave last time made the fat catfish linger. Looking at the seven-colored treasure fish in front of it, it seemed to have already smelled the fragrance, and its stomach began to growl.

The river otters crawling on the ship also stopped their movements, stood up straight, and drooled.

"Take it!"

The old toad felt heartbroken inside but looked carefree on the outside, moving the treasure fish out of its sight and handing it to the great beaver.

The great beaver stretched out its claws to hug it, not even caring that its fur was messed up by the fish tail.

The fat catfish looked at the yellow pocket again; it was bulging, obviously there were still good things inside.

The old toad pretended to be unfathomable and dug around inside for a while. Looking at its appearance, it seemed there really were many things inside, but with the appearance of a whole turtle shell, the yellow cloth bag completely shriveled.

Fat catfish: "?"

It patted the bag with its fins and poked its head in, wanting to see if there was anything flat hidden inside.

Seeing this, the old toad withdrew the yellow cloth bag and held the turtle shell higher: "Look!"

The fat catfish didn't catch up with the bag and had to look at the turtle shell.

It often saw that thing in the Great Marsh, hard, difficult to bite, and meatless. What's the use?

"Mysterious turtle divination?"

The old toad was about to explain when it heard the sound and was stunned.

It looked around and finally looked at the old giant clam in the pond, slightly surprised, and raised its frog head.

"Can't tell, you are quite knowledgeable, qualified to be a servant of my Frog Taigong!"

Old giant clam: "..."

I dare not say anything else, but in terms of age, I dare to guarantee that I am much older than the wrinkled toad in front of me.

The fat catfish danced its whiskers, asking if the turtle shell could be eaten.

"It's divination! It can predict good and bad luck!" The old toad sat cross-legged and stretched out its webbed feet, "Are there any copper coins?"

The fat catfish shook its head. It looked at the great beaver.

The great beaver understood and ran on all fours to the inner hall.

Liang Qu had been waiting here for a long time, handed a large string of copper coins to the great beaver, and let it pass them to the old toad.

When the old toad got the copper coins, it tore off the string, counted out six copper coins, put them into the turtle shell, hugged the turtle shell and shook it up and down, clattering, and finally poured them all out with the opening facing down.

The copper coins fell to the stone ground, clinking, and landed steadily.

Four heads, two tails.

Small bad luck.

"Eh?"

The old toad was surprised.

Four heads, two tails, meaning stability with a little bad, usually meaning a bit of bad luck...

Clearly today is a great day for the frog clan.

The old giant clam was also very surprised. According to its knowledge, using copper coins for divination shouldn't it be three?

How come this old fellow uses six and just looks at heads and tails?

As for the fat catfish, it didn't understand what it was doing at all.

"No, again, again."

The old toad didn't give up. It grabbed the copper coins on the ground, put them into the turtle shell, shook them again, and poured them on the ground.

It was still four heads, two tails.

The old toad was furious.

"Bring firewood!"

The great beaver hurriedly ran out, and when it came back, it was holding a pile of dry firewood, a handful of dry straw, and a fire starter in its mouth.

The old toad lit the fire, ignited the wood, and when the raging flames rose, it threw the turtle shell into the flames.

The turtle shell encountered the fire and crackled.

When the turtle shell no longer made a sound.

The old toad spat to extinguish the fire and picked up the turtle shell from it.

I saw many fine cracks on the complete turtle back, with the center line downward, seven on the left and three on the right.

It was almost the same as the result of the copper coin divination.

Meaning that the old toad's recent fortune was indeed stable with a little bit of bad luck.

Such a hexagram made the old toad puzzled.

That's not right, where is the bad luck? It's all happy events.

The Great King has obtained a new divine weapon, slaying the dragon is imminent, and as Frog Taigong, it is about to move into the Dragon Palace and enjoy beautiful frogs.

On land, it has established a frog clan stronghold unprecedented in history, which can be described as blooming on both water and land.

The frog clan has achieved unprecedented development and growth in the hands of its Frog Taigong, leaving a heavy stroke in the long river.

Shouldn't it be all heads, great luck?

The fat catfish looked at the burnt and cracked turtle shell, confused about whether this thing could still be used.

"It can be used, it will grow back after soaking in water for half a month."

The old toad studied the turtle shell and waved its claws. It had burnt several, and had quite a bit of experience.

"It's just that the hexagram is wrong..."

The fat catfish, river otters, and other beasts by the pond drooled at the treasure fish, while the old toad hugged the turtle shell, touching it with its webbed feet, counting it,

After more than a quarter of an hour.

The old toad suddenly realized.

Damn it, the mysterious turtle shell is broken!

Not accurate.

The old toad was about to throw away the turtle shell, but looking at the group of aquatic beasts around, its brain turned, and it shouted: "I understand!"

The fat catfish and other beasts came back to their senses.

After attracting the attention of the beasts, the old toad stood up and looked at the sky with its hands behind its back.

"It must be that the Great King's strength is unfathomable, shielding the secrets of heaven! As the Great King's confidant and honest minister, my future is also covered with a layer of mist that cannot be broken through.

Even such a rare and strange object as the mysterious turtle shell cannot act on me!"

Seeing this, the old toad stroked the air.

It is worthy of being the Frog Taigong, born as a high public, died as a divine frog!

In the blink of an eye, it turned waste into treasure.

However, the fat catfish picked up the yellow cloth bag on the ground with its whiskers and poured it down, empty. It looked at the old toad.

Frog clan Taigong, just this?

Does it think I'm some ignorant little frog?

The old toad was so angry that it was embarrassed.

"One fish and one turtle, the value is extraordinary, it is what I saved for the frog clan by tightening my belt. You little frog, don't be ungrateful and greedy!"

The fat catfish curled its lips and barely accepted it.

Free ride, no loss.

The old toad walked around in the pond, saw the entrance of the three-entry courtyard, poked its head, and looked back at the fat catfish.

"You said you negotiated this stronghold with the human race, so where are the people? Let me see them too."
