Chapter 60: The Toad

"What do you think that's that?" I pulled the gang and pointed at the thing.

Gangzi pondered for a while, "I look like a person." ”

"Right! I feel like it too. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the head of the man on the water moved, and then he slowly shrank into the water, and he was out of sight.

Gangzi and I both trembled a little when we saw it, and we couldn't help but say in unison: "Around, right?" ”

Ah Jin squeezed between the two of us to the front, and put a sentence in his mouth, "It's useless." ”

Gangzi saw that he was looked down upon by his sister-in-law, and quickly explained to her, "Sister, you don't understand, sometimes there is no need to clash head-on if you can bypass it, this is a strategy." ”

I nodded straight, and I didn't want to be mistaken for a useless person.

Ah Jin turned his head lightly and glanced at us, "Is that waterhole still meaningful?" ”

I buckled my ears and eyes in embarrassment, Ah Jin said this very reasonably, the waterhole is the last pass to enter the Hehe Cave, if you can get around it generously, then its existence is really meaningless.

Gangzi also wanted to find a little bit of face for himself, so he continued to explain: "What I mean when I say winding is actually to investigate and investigate first, in case someone has widened the road for us, such as digging a hole in the side or something." ”

The more Gangzi spoke, the more unconfident he became, and I became more and more embarrassed to listen to it on the side.

How to say it, this possibility in Gangzi's mouth is almost zero.

The reason is also very simple, Scar's group obviously went to the waterhole in front of them and encountered something before choosing to retreat and set up camp, if that group of outlaws didn't find the so-called "way", then we couldn't find it.

Under Ah Jin's education, we still decided to go straight to Huanglong, we didn't have any tactics, that is, we arranged the formation a little, and it was still the previous Gangzi to take the lead, but I changed positions with Ah Jin, and I was second.

We found three sticks to use as weapons, and slowly approached the waterhole.

The closer we got, the clearer the huge figure became, until we were only a dozen meters away from the waterhole, and finally we could see what it was.

It's not so much a frog as a giant toad.

The toad was about half the size of a bus, and its back was covered with large and small bulges of disgusting pus.

And it's covered in dark gold, and the weirdest thing about it is that the giant toad has only three legs.

The toad was crawling on the ground on its two stout front legs with sharp nails, but there was only one leg behind it, but that leg was extremely strong, even as thick as its two front legs combined.

This monster also instantly made one word pop up in my mind - three-legged golden toad.

In the ancient mythology of our country, there is a three-legged toad living in the Moon Palace, which is also the main reason why the Moon Palace is also called the Toad Palace.

Legend has it that Liu Hai, a disciple of Lu Dongbin, once encountered a golden toad that was harmful to the Quartet, so he used money to lure it in, and in the process of subduing the golden toad, he broke a hind leg.

After the golden cicada was subdued, he became a naturalized immortal, and then he spit out money to help the poor, and there was also a saying about the golden toad in the solid world.

Many businessmen also like to place a three-legged golden toad statue on the wealth position on their desks, in order to take the meaning of attracting wealth and treasure.

However, the huge toad in front of us not only had three legs, but also had a dark golden body, and I really couldn't understand whether it was a coincidence or someone could arrange it.

Gangzi looked at Jin Toad thoughtfully, I don't know if he is with me.

"Gangzi, do you have any ideas?"

Gangzi rubbed his head, "I suddenly remembered a sentence. ”

"What?"

Gangzi pointed to the round blue pool, and said in his mouth, "Toad swallows the moon." ”

I've heard this allusion, and now that Gangzi reminds me again, I feel more and more that the waterhole behind the golden toad is very much like the moonlight.

The waterhole is very round, the slender mushrooms are also emitting a fluorescence between white and blue, and the three-legged golden toad on the side really makes it look like a golden toad eating the moon.

At this time, the golden toad happened to climb to the right side of the moon lake, and we quickly turned into three yellow croakers and moved forward against the wall, planning to go around to the opposite side to take a look.

But in fact, as Ah Jin said before, Moon Lake is the end of this cave.

This cave is probably in the shape of a spoon, we came from the direction of the "handle", and the Moon Lake is in the position of the "spoon nest".

"What can I do? There is no road ahead, and there is no way back. Gangzi crossed his waist and was a little discouraged.

I analyzed Scar's words in my mind, if this Moon Lake is really the last pass to Hehe Cave, it means that there must be a passage near here.

And most of the passages are in the Moon Lake, so that the three-legged golden toad can play its role, otherwise we will go around, and they will not become decorations.

Gangzi also agrees with me, so the problem we are facing now is very simple.

We have to unravel the secret hidden between the three-legged golden toad and this moon pool, or directly turn this toad over, so that we can thoroughly check whether there is a hidden passage in the moon lake as we thought.

Gangzi clenched the wooden stick and waved it a few times in the air, "Just these three things?" Even if the big toad honestly lies on the ground and lets us smash it, we won't be able to smash it in less than ten minutes. ”

"Goo-"

It's the familiar cry again.

But I feel that this sound seems to be coming from our side, and in terms of the volume and direction of the sound, it should not be from the three-legged golden toad.

I had just turned my head to take a look, when something cold suddenly stuck to my face.

As soon as I looked, I saw the big, fanged mouth of the Grimace Tree Frog!

"Goo-"

The tree frog bit my cheekbone with a scream, and the change came so suddenly that none of us reacted!

The sound of fangs piercing into my muscles clearly reached my eardrums, and the blood flowed all over my face!

Ah Jin reacted quickly, and pinched the corners of the frog's mouth with both thumbs to stretch its big mouth open, but before she could use a little force, the frog fell off on its own, but its full mouth of teeth remained in my flesh!

Before I could cry out in pain, the cries of the ghost-faced tree frogs around me started one after another!

At the same time, the huge three-legged golden toad on the edge of the moon lake suddenly looked in our direction, and there was no trace of anger in its terrifying vertical pupils, just a big mouth.

The next moment, a man crawled out.
