Chapter 993: Barbecue Bullfrog

When Tai Yin's younger sister walked out of the hot pot restaurant, it was already 11:30 p. m.

The originally bustling street had become much quieter.

Only near the barbecue stall not far away were people gathering, braving the night wind to eat barbecue and drink beer.

"Whoo~"

She let out a long breath, feeling so miserable!

She originally thought that taking out the gold would let her pay and leave immediately.

As a result, the cashier didn't believe it was gold and didn't know how much gold was worth.

However, among the customers, someone recognized the gold.

A man wearing a big gold chain around his neck walked over, wanting to buy the gold in Tai Yin's hand for thirty thousand.

This guy saw the opportunity and just wanted to pick up a bargain.

Tai Yin also agreed, but didn't expect that the boss who came over would see it.

As a result, the boss and the "big gold chain" got into an argument.

They almost came to blows.

In the end, the big gold chain bought the gold from Tai Yin's hand for forty thousand.

She could have made a profit of ten thousand, but instead she got only the cost price.

After watching the scene for a while, Tai Yin finally got the money and paid for the meal.

Now she finally had money in hand, and she knew that with nearly thirty thousand, if she spent it frugally, it could last several months!

After leaving and walking a distance, Tai Yin noticed someone was following her.

……

At the same time.

The subordinates that Bi Yue had sent out to look for the green-skinned frogs were reporting to Bi Yue.

They arrived late; when they reached the scene, the three green-skinned frogs were already gone.

The microprobe robots were dispatched a bit late, and no one knew where they had gone.

After hearing the report, Bi Yue immediately ordered that even if they had to turn Yanjing upside down, they must find those three monsters.

Yue Ya Dao had already established the relevant emergency procedures.

One must know that in the universe, most intelligent beings carry microorganisms on their bodies.

These microorganisms could possibly cause illness in humans or other organisms on Earth.

They might also combine with local microorganisms, producing new, more formidable bacteria, viruses, and so on.

Therefore, once aliens are discovered to have landed on Earth, they must be strictly controlled.

As for this matter, Yue Ya Dao not only took action itself, but also notified the superiors.

In the darkness, many people were tense and busy because of this matter.

How did the three "green-skinned frogs" disappear?

It turns out they, like the Witch Tribe people, can change their own body size.

Moreover, in this regard, the ability of the green-skinned frogs is much stronger.

The transformation happens as quickly as inflating a balloon.

This stems from a type of cell inside them that can produce fat extremely quickly.

If we say the original size of the green-skinned frog is only as big as a plate,

then when they grow to human size, the actual increase in their bodies is a large amount of fat.

Lin Feng found this race in the records of the Heavenly Book, and Lin Feng named them the Frog Tribe,

and specifically the Green Frog Tribe within the Frog Tribe.

The Frog Tribe has several branches; besides the Green Frog Tribe, there is also… the Lepers' Lump Treasure Tribe.

This, like humans, is a carbon-based lifeform.

Only the evolutionary process is different.

Humans are terrestrial beings, modified bodies possessing the Witch Tribe's bloodline.

While the Frog Tribe evolved from water.

This overturned Lin Feng's understanding.

In his view, frogs are still far from intelligent life.

On Earth, aside from humans, monkeys and great apes, these primate-like creatures, are the most likely to evolve intelligence.

Why is that?

Because in the Frog Tribe's evolutionary process, a branch emerged that evolved flexible forelimbs.

Just like human hands.

After gaining flexible forelimbs, their usage frequency increased more and more.

Then they learned to use tools.

After forming their own language and establishing civilization, their level of intelligence kept increasing.

Darwin's theory of evolution still makes sense.

Of course, this is an extremely lengthy process.

If calculated using Earth's time, the process of the Frog Tribe evolving into an intelligent race took millions of years.

Millions of years!

If humans had that much time, they would already be a powerful race in the universe.

It was almost dawn, and Lin Feng still hadn't slept.

It's not because the meeting went on so late.

He isn't holding meetings anymore; at least for now he doesn't want to hold any.

When a man gets serious, he really has nothing to do with women.

Boss Lin suddenly realized that, after no longer overworking, his spirits were much better than before.

His five senses also became much sharper, and his heart was filled with positive, upward-looking energy.

Women… hehe!

The affair of the three frog people made Lin Feng take it very seriously.

Having read the data, Lin Feng understood that the frog tribe was an extremely greedy, foolish, and highly curious people.

Why describe them as foolish?

It's not that the tribe is very stupid; rather, it's because a large portion of the frog people have low intelligence.

But a small portion have extraordinarily high intelligence.

If we say most frog people are like children, then the elite who hold power are like Lin Feng—both smart,

and also strong adults.

So overall, the tribe isn't truly stupid; normally they pretend to be weak to eat the strong.

Just like the present situation.

I don't know what trouble those three will cause.

Three reckless brats are sure to cause a big incident.

……

Yanjing, effective zone.

Beside a fishing leisure pond.

A few friends who had gathered to give the boss a hard time all came up empty-handed.

However, they didn't leave.

Although they caught no fish tonight, they caught three huge bullfrogs.

They were probably raised by the boss.

The boss is now resting, so he conveniently skinned the three bullfrogs and made barbecue out of them.

"Boss, what do they want to do?"

"I don't know!"

"Why can't we move?"

"Yeah, boss! Why is that?"

"I guess we ate something poisonous of theirs."

"It's all Old Two's fault—he couldn't resist the smell; now we're okay, right?"

"Old Three, what do you mean, it's all my fault?"

"Let's stop arguing and think about how to escape!"

"The situation is dire; we can't move and can't activate our internal emergency device!"

"It's all Old Two's fault!"

"Old Three, you're here again!"

……

The two bullfrogs kept making gu-gu sounds.

Actually, they were arguing; it's a language.

To the fishing buddies, however, that was just the sound they were supposed to make.

As they kept arguing, Old Two and Old Three saw Old One being seized by someone and his head cut off……

Old Two and Old Three were stunned, losing their ability to think.
