Chapter 61: The Croaking of the Frog

On the thick trunk of the gray and cloudy beech, four strong and powerful slender limbs spread straight out, as if flying in the sky, and leaped swiftly and accurately to the dense forest croaking frog on the smooth tree wall, and on its slimy blue-green skin sat a young man with black hair and green eyes.

For several days of the journey, Mebes spent the 'roller coaster' on the back of a frog, and they had already begun to break away from the outer areas of the Vientiane Demon Forest, and they were only about a day away from stepping into the central area, even if he chose a route far from the center, but still inevitably touched the edge of the center.

"Without the protection of the trunk of the beech tree, the safety of the forest frog cannot be guaranteed."

The boy frowned and pondered, there are still quite a lot of predators in the Demon Forest Center, even if every few years the academy will issue a large number of cleaning tasks to kill the surrounding monsters to prevent the cases of apprentices from dying sporadically.

However, with Vientiane Mosen's unique ecosystem adjustment ability, it will take about 3 or 4 years at most to produce other magical creatures, but at his time, it is the most prosperous year, and it is still the middle of the year, and the academy will not start to release the cleaning task until at least the spring of next year.

"It seems that the movements should be quieter."

Mebis ordered the loud croaking frogs to stop making noises to prevent predators from detecting them.

"There's not much dry food either.."

Annoyed to the remaining beef jerky in the storage space, since the awakening of the food cells, the amount of food has inevitably risen in a straight line, originally prepared at least 30 people with the volume of hundreds of pounds of meat like adult strong men, a few days of hard work was not able to resist the delicious taste of the jerky he ate as a snack.

If you start a fire, it will attract unnecessary trouble, and the gray leg mushroom can not be eaten raw, and its white powder on the surface is highly toxic, and it must go through about 80 °C or more to decompose into a substance that can be absorbed by normal people.

"Quack!"

His thoughts were interrupted by the sudden high-pitched sound of the frog in the dense forest below, and the forest of trees that covered the sky had disappeared, and in front of him was a low bush with blackened vegetation.

"Already close to the middle?"

Mebis stared at the strange black plants underground, with a little white pattern growing on them, but there was no animal cry in the jungle, and there was a strange smell in the air.

"Quack... Croak!! ”

Feeling some restless jungle frogs under the seat, the young man couldn't help but wonder, and then vigilantly aimed at the black forest in front of him, there was nothing strange in the black jungle filled with white mist, and Mebeis couldn't help but look at the jungle frogs.

I've heard that some monsters can signal danger, but could it be that this big frog has a similar function? Puzzled staring at the restless frog eyes ahead.

It seemed that it couldn't accept the little turtle that it didn't see, and the dense forest croaking frog jumped up suddenly, and its huge body smashed into the black bushes, and suddenly the small black dots attached to the trees were startled and waved in the air.

I saw a pink missile covered with slime quickly swept into the black cloud, wrapped in a large area of black, and shrank back into the frog's tender white mouth, and then bounced its tongue again, sticking to the panicked black cloud.

"Quack."

The young man looked at the frogs in a daze, only to realize that this black bush was not a natural plant at all, but a scene of black spotted insects resting and covering.

"Black-winged blood mosquito?"

Dark clouds loomed over the unscrupulous outsiders, and Mebis unleashed her magic to block these disgusting things, and the omnivorous insects that specialize in biting plants usually appear in swarms, hundreds of millions of them at every turn, and almost no grass grows in the places they pass.

The endless dark clouds made him frown, but the frog in the dense forest below him was very happy, for him, how rare it was to work hard for so long and eat a soft and delicious meal of insect meat.

"Zizi~"

To prevent them from touching herself, Mebis hurriedly took out the pre-prepared insecticide from the storage space, and pressed it hard against the black-winged blood mosquito swarm, and the compressed special mist poured out and dispersed in the black cloud.

After a while, the buzzing insects fell to the fallen leaves in large pieces, and the spray with infectious effect spread with the dark clouds, and the black-winged blood mosquitoes in the air seemed to sense the danger that the group might be on the verge of extinction, and hurriedly fled from the opponent with a swarm of residual insects, and the remaining ground was covered with palm-wide insect corpses, and the power of powerful insecticides was terrifying.

And the jungle frog also seemed to have eaten its belly, lying motionless next to the piled corpses.

"Luckily, I brought a bottle of spray to restrain jungle insects."

Mebis glanced at the ground with satisfaction and smiled lowly.

If there is no spray, with his current strength to deal with this group of bloodthirsty mosquitoes, he can only temporarily evacuate. Black-winged blood mosquitoes not only love to devour tender green plants, but are even more fanatical about scarlet, although a single black-winged blood mosquito can be crushed to death by ordinary people, but the black clouds condensed by millions of insect swarms, third-class apprentices must also temporarily avoid the edge.

The black-haired boy who exhaled slowly began to clear a piece of land, and the relatively open field of vision around it was very suitable for resting, and the tail end of the black-winged blood mosquito was rich in oil, which was a very good kindling for fire in this humid and viscous air.

After walking over to the fat frog and calming him down for a while, Mebis began to build a simple fire-making platform out of twigs and stones, if only other food wizards would not have chosen such a stupid method, they could easily build a campfire and a stone pit with a small ignition spell and mimicry magic spell.

However, Mebis, who had just become a wizard's apprentice, had not received the systematic method of making magic energy food, and because of the insulator, it was natural to move his hands, and he especially liked to hear the 'crackling' sound of dry branches in the flames, and the feeling of returning to nature fascinated him.

Soon, the soil of the black insect corpses cleared up a round brown soil, and he used the rubble he picked up nearby to build a small improvised stone pit that was large enough for him to broil.

The light that had not been seen for a long time made the boy sit comfortably on the edge of the stone pile, feeling the mixed smell in the jungle air, and the boy slowly took out a dozen or so huge white jade from the storage space, ready to make delicious and juicy roast leg mushrooms.

But before that happens, I'll have to find some dry wood, Mebis thought, looking at the rotting and damp wood everywhere.

Although there were many scattered branches in the open low jungle, it was probably due to the moisture, and the wood was soft and unsuitable for fuel, and if he wanted to start a fire in this humid environment, he had to find some dry wood.

Having made up his mind, Mebis was about to ride on the forest frog, but saw the latter's yellow-black pupils revealing a look of "Uncle Ben is very full, don't bother me", and the distance is not very far, he has no problem going by himself, after settling down with the uncle, he turned on the powerful light on his waist, and suddenly disappeared into the dark beech roots.

And at the moment when Mebis left, the frog in the dense forest, who was at ease, suddenly noticed a dark creature standing out from the green bush in front of him, and opened his hideous snout and jumped towards it quickly.

"Quack. Quack... Quack.."

The anxious and panicked sound of frogs could be heard through the trees and clearly into the ears of the young man who was cutting down the trees.

"Something happened to the frog!?"

In an instant, Mebis shook off the wooden block in his arms, and the power of the Life Knight concentrated on his footsteps, running towards the source of the sound at great speed.
