Chapter 429: Do You Wish to Commit Usurpation?

~9 min read 1,699 words

Liang Qu sat upright in the quiet room, holding a wolf-hair brush to circle and sketch, sorting out the threads of his plans.

On the other side, the Fat Catfish was wandering about with nothing to do. It spent the entire day roaming the Great Marsh, releasing its aura without restraint, causing the spirit monsters along the way to flee in panic.

A giant crocodile that had attained spirit status sensed danger. Its scales stood on end, and finding an opportunity, it burst out of the mud, pulled its limbs together, and thrashed its tail frantically.

The Fat Catfish had spotted the crocodile long ago. It churned the water, caught up in a flash, swam side-by-side with the crocodile, and pressed its face right up against it.

The sheer size difference—several times over—radiated an intimidating pressure at every moment. The crocodile caught a glimpse of the giant maw capable of biting off its entire head, and its body suddenly lost all sensation. It slid and flew for dozens of meters before crashing into a mud pit.

Splash.

The Fat Catfish flicked its fins, fanning away the mud and sand, and poked at the crocodile with its whiskers.

The crocodile didn't move a muscle.

It had fainted.

Woo-hoo~

The Fat Catfish spat out a string of bubbles, flicked its tail to strike a few poses, and turned into a black mist to roam everywhere. Having had its fill of fun, it turned around and headed toward the shallow water area, slapping away large fish along the way.

The light and shadows blurred.

As the sky turned faintly bright and a layer of purple light rose, the Fat Catfish found the vortex passage, dove in headfirst, and flew off in a flash toward the vicinity of the Toad Cave.

It spun around and landed steadily!

The snoring from the bottom of the water was thunderous.

The Fat Catfish entered the cave and slapped the toad's belly twice.

It swayed back and forth, but there was no reaction.

The Fat Catfish ran over to the vines and danced its long whiskers.

The vines extended their branches, pointing in a certain direction.

Having received directions, the Fat Catfish proceeded at full speed, racing like a bolt of lightning and kicking up large swaths of white vapor.

Obeying the Heavenly God's command!

Go and see what kind of good treasures the old toad has in its home!

It "climbed mountains and crossed ridges" all the way, crawling up slopes and swimming upstream.

The Fat Catfish stopped its tail and looked into the distance at the hillside, where numerous stone caves were connected in succession, and the lotus stalks reaching toward the sky swayed on the peak.

What a huge lotus leaf!

The Fat Catfish raised its head.

The Heavenly God's pond had them too, but it had never seen one so big!

It went all the way from the bottom of the water to the surface!

The spreading lotus leaves blocked the morning sunlight, casting surging golden light as they swayed.

Early in the morning, various large frogs flapped their webbed feet, some heading out with packs on their backs, others patrolling with mountain-shaped anchors in hand, darting through the water layers.

A patrolling large frog noticed the fat catfish's visit, flipped over with a splash, and landed on the riverbed, kicking up a large cloud of mud and sand.

The large frog touched its anchor to the ground and croaked a few times in interrogation.

The fat catfish flicked its whiskers and circled around.

The patrolling large frog leaned back in shock, revealing its bright red frog belly.

It circled the fat catfish, waved its webbed claws, and croaked in disbelief.

The fat catfish nodded, exuding an air of confident style.

The patrolling large frog fell silent.

It croaked a few times and darted into the valley.

The fat catfish waited on the spot.

Inside the valley.

Two green-skinned frogs with much larger builds squatted on the ground, listening to the patrolling large frog's croaking.

Big Fatty was puzzled.

"A legless frog?"

The patrolling large frog nodded.

Big Fatty's face turned bitter; it didn't remember any such frog species in the tribe, and since the Elder was always patting its head, its memory was truly getting worse and worse.

Second Fatty, however, was lost in thought; a moment later, a thought flashed like lightning, and it blurted out.

"Escaped from a snake's mouth and lost its limbs!"

"Hmm?"

Reminded by its younger brother, Big Fatty recalled its aching back of the head once more.

"Go welcome it quickly! If we're late, the Elder will be unhappy."

Big Fatty and Second Fatty jumped out one after another, roaming through the water and casting shadows.

Looking down from above, the two frogs quickly found the fat catfish waiting where it had been.

As soon as they landed, Big Fatty grew suspicious and began to observe the fat catfish carefully.

"Legless frog, have you grown up?"

Second Fatty felt the same: "Yes, yes, yes, you've grown up."

Big Fatty and Second Fatty had seen the fat catfish before when they followed the Old Toad to deliver weapons to the Great King's cave.

The legless frog in their memory was only half as big as it was now.

Hearing the two frogs' astonishment, the fat catfish immediately flicked its tail, struck a few poses in succession, and looked smug.

Not bad!

Grown up!

Mighty!

And it has a name and a surname!

"General Fierce Tooth?"

Big Fatty and Second Fatty were stunned; the two frogs looked at each other and suddenly puffed out their cheeks.

The patrolling large frog that followed behind didn't have much self-control; it let go of its anchor, which crashed to the ground and kicked up dust, and it laughed out loud.

The fat catfish looked displeased.

Big Fatty and Second Fatty hurriedly changed the subject.

"Fierce Tooth, you've come at the right time, let's eat meat together!"

Eat meat?

The fat catfish raised its long whiskers.

Big Fatty and Second Fatty waved their claws, signaling the fat catfish to follow.

The three frogs arrived at the valley.

The fat catfish was surprised to find a huge red fish lying horizontally in the valley!

Its aura was three parts stronger than the snake demon of Xiangyi County, and many large frogs were cutting it up into large fish fillets.

Big Fatty said: "The Great King went to the sea yesterday and killed two red-spotted fish, leaving one for the tribe. We are cooking it today, and every frog in the tribe gets a share!"

The fat catfish was overjoyed.

Good food as soon as it arrived.

Not bad, it was a frog, it deserved a share!

The large frogs cut off thick fish fillets, stacked them into a pile, placed them on a tray, and Big Fatty balanced it on its head and swam out of the water.

The fat catfish followed closely behind, looked around, and opened its mouth wide.

As the morning light shone down, dew rolled on the large, emerald-green lotus leaves, and many frog tribesmen were performing their duties, with one even setting up a pot to burn a fire.

The fire was blazing, but it couldn't burn through the lotus leaf at all.

The leading large frog, who was in charge of the ladle, had a white cloth on its head, a swaying lotus root in its mouth, and was tossing the spices in the pot.

Nearby, a kitchen-helper frog took the fish meat sent by Big Fatty, sprinkled it with secret spices, and slapped it repeatedly with its webbed feet for marinating.

The fat catfish smelled the fragrance and drooled.

After nearly a month of suffering through snake meat in Xiangyi County, its mouth only tasted bitterness and fishiness, and it couldn't wait to jump into the pot to taste the saltiness.

After observing for a while, it would still be some time before the fish meat was ready.

The fat catfish turned and dived down to ask a passing large frog where the Old Toad's home was located, which left a group of frogs stunned; after pointing out the direction, they gathered in twos and threes and whispered.

A few frogs asked the patrolling frog who the black-backed, white-bellied guy was.

The patrolling frog put down its anchor and waved its webbed claws.

"A new species of the frog tribe, a legless frog?"

"A legless frog? Is there really such a frog?"

"Did the Great King say so himself?"

Hearing that it was said by the Great King, many skeptical toads immediately believed it.

If the Great King says it's a frog, then it's a frog!

Looking at the fat catfish again.

"It looks like a big tadpole!"

"It's a frog! It's a frog!"

"Escaped from a snake's mouth, how pitiful, croak croak croak."

"The frog tribe and the snake tribe cannot coexist!"

All the frogs watched.

The fat catfish puffed out its chest and raised its head, and under the guidance of a group of enthusiastic frogs, it found the Old Toad's unique, detached large cave.

As soon as it approached, the vines covering the cave danced incessantly.

The fat catfish bypassed the vines and pressed its head against them.

Through the gap, it happened to see the Old Toad holding a treasure lotus, lying in the stone, overjoyed.

Inside the cave.

The Old Toad held the treasure lotus in its claws, unable to put it down.

Developing the pond really had a return!

It had seen the money coming back!

In its excitement, the black head that suddenly flashed out from outside the vines gave the Old Toad a fright.

Seeing the visitor's appearance clearly, the Old Toad was shocked, hurriedly hid the treasure lotus behind its back, ran out of the cave, and blocked the entrance.

"Legless frog! Why is it you?"

The fat catfish bypassed the Old Toad and tried to squeeze open the cave to take a look.

The Old Toad hurriedly blocked the way and scolded sharply.

"Bold and treacherous frog! Do you wish to commit an act of transgression?"
