Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Great Toad
If the call at that time was answered by Long Xiaoman himself, it proves that there must have been some emergency situation at that time, otherwise it would be impossible for her to pick up the phone without speaking, and then quickly cut it off.
But I remember very well that after the phone was connected, I didn't hear any fighting, nothing but dripping.
If analyzed in this way, there are only two situations, the first is that it was not Long Xiaoman who answered the phone at that time.
The second type, which is also the one I am most worried about, I didn't even hear the sound of fighting, which means that what Long Xiaoman encountered at that time was particularly urgent, or that the person who attacked her was very good and could restrain her within one move, so I couldn't hear the sound of fighting.
Long Xiaoman's phone has been soaked in water for so long that it can't be used, and my phone broke when I jumped into the blood nest.
I looked up on the stone platform to see if I could find any clues.
But the stone platform was as smooth as a mirror, and there was no trace of it, and just as I was pondering the possibilities, I suddenly heard a faint humming sound coming from the cave I had just entered.
The buzzing sound sounded like a myriad of bees, and it was getting closer, just as I was still wondering what it was.
I only heard a buzzing sound, and a thick black mist erupted from the hole where I had just entered, and then rushed towards me like a long snake.
The speed was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of me, and I instinctively whipped it over, only to see that the black mist dispersed with a single breath.
Only then did I realize that there was a black fog here, but a swarm of countless bats!
Each of these bats was the size of a basin, densely packed all around, fluttering a pair of huge fleshy wings, which, when spread out, resembled the face of a human being, with indistinct facial features and a buzzing sound.
Only then did I realize that the human-faced bat just now was not scared away by me, but ran to report it!
There is no barrier on the stone platform, I don't even have a place to hide, although there is a Shura whip in hand, but one or two are easy to deal with, but this dense group, not to mention the fierce human-faced bat, even mosquitoes can gnaw me to the bone.
Airplanes!
Countless large human-faced bats collectively hummed, and then wrapped towards me like a dark cloud, and at this time I had no way to go to heaven and no door to earth.
Although the Shura whip in my hand swung out and flew a few of them, it was to no avail, and in the blink of an eye, I was thrown to the ground by countless human-faced bats.
I felt a burning pain all over my body, and just when I thought I was going to hang up, I suddenly heard the sound of rushing water, and then I felt like I didn't move.
I sat up and opened my eyes in confusion, and found that the human-faced bats seemed to be frightened by something, fleeing in all directions, and flying back towards the hole just now.
I was completely puzzled, could it be that when these human bats attacked me, they suddenly recognized me as Zhang Zhanning of the legendary Yushu Linfeng, and then they were all scared away?
I let out a long breath, whatever the reason, I had picked up another little life anyway.
Just as I was about to stand up, I suddenly heard what seemed to be movement behind me, turned my head to look, and suddenly screamed in fright.
Nima, it turns out that those bats are not afraid of Zhang Zhanning, but are scared away by this thing!
Behind me, at some point, there was a huge toad, just lying there taller than me, the pimple on its body was the size of a fist, and there were countless small holes in the pimple, like a lotus canopy.
This made me, who was already a bit of a phobia of dense objects, feel my scalp tingle and goosebumps.
Whoosh –
As soon as the giant toad's tongue flicked, a human-faced bat that was a little slower was stuck to its tongue, and then retracted, and it entered the mouth of the big toad.
I wanted to strike first and whip it over, but when faced with this big toad covered with dense fist-sized bumps, I didn't have the courage to do so.
The toad's two eyes stared at me like lanterns, and I guess in its eyes I was a lump of tasteless food much bigger than those human-faced bats.
I didn't dare to move, and the toad didn't bother to move, oh, no, it meant to move its tongue, but stared at me with a pair of lantern-sized eyes, as if it had seen some kind of monster, and it probably hadn't seen a human before.
After a person and a toad confronted each other like this for a while, I didn't know what I thought, looking at the toad, I said, "Clam...... Brother Toad, my meat is not very delicious, you may have diarrhea if you eat it, or you can see, we are all four-legged, let me go, when I go out in the future, I will definitely treat your kind well......"
Woohoo –
The big toad seemed to understand me, and opened its mouth, and I felt as if it was laughing at me.
"Clam...... Brother Toad, then I'll take you as a promise, you rest here, I still have something to do and go first......"
As I spoke, I took a step to the side, and seeing that the toad was not moving, I was ready to let it go.
But as soon as I had taken a step, I heard a whining, and then I felt a tightness in my chest, and the toad wrapped my tongue in it, and I had no power to resist, so I was pulled into my mouth.
It opened its mouth wide, and directly wrapped my whole person, I smelled a disgusting fishy smell, and I felt like I was about to suffocate, thinking that it was better to die like this, it was better to be torn by the group of big bats just now, than to be eaten by such a disgusting thing!
But as soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I felt my body light, my eyes lit up, and then I fell heavily to the ground.
I was spit out by that toad again.
The big toad looked at me with a very strange look, and after taking two steps back, he vomited out, and the ground was all black with a pulp, and there were several large human-faced bats.
Then, after glaring at me with disdain, he turned his head and jumped into the water with a pop.
I first shook it, and then I was angry, Nima, am I so disgusting, I ate it and vomited, damn it!
While rinsing the disgusting mucus on my body with water, while secretly scolding the big toad who doesn't know what to do, I don't know how many people peep at my precious body, I am like Tang Seng, countless demons and monsters want to eat my meat.
But such a disgusting thing, since it still dislikes me, it just doesn't eat me, and it even vomits, which makes my self-esteem suffer a serious blow.
"Hahaha, how disgusting are you, even the overlord toad vomited!"
Suddenly I heard a sound of laughter, I turned my head sharply and saw Hou Xiaofei and Shangguan Chen appear next to me at some point.
Hou Xiaofei pointed at me and laughed, Shangguan Chen was always indifferent, I really doubt if he was made of ice, and he had a cold face when he met anything.
In this case, I saw that these two people felt very cordial, if it weren't for Hou Xiaofei pointing at me and laughing, I would have been so excited that I wanted to go up and give them a hug.
I said go to your uncle, it turns out that you watched me being swallowed by a toad, and you couldn't save me when you saw death!
"Don't worry, it's called the Overlord Toad, and it's the only creature in the Gates of Hell that doesn't eat people."
Hou Xiaofei said with a smile, "So I saw you talking to this toad just now, we watched the excitement on the side, I didn't expect you to vomit a toad disgustingly, haha." ”
"Damn! If you don't say it earlier, I'll be scared to death! ”
I had a false alarm, it turned out that the toad doesn't eat people, but Shangguan Chen's next sentence made me creepy again, "But here, except for the overlord toad, everything will eat people and not spit out bones!" ”
Hou Xiaofei also added, "You were lucky just now, we saw the marks you made along the way, so we chased all the way over, and saw a group of big human-faced bats fleeing in a hurry, that overlord toad is the natural enemy of human-faced bats, if it hadn't appeared in time, ten of you tied together would not be enough for those bats." ”
I was secretly terrified when I heard this, I really didn't know how many terrifying man-eating creatures were waiting for me in this hell gate.
At the same time, she also began to worry about Long Xiaoman, although she has a lot of ability, but in such a dangerous environment, whether she can protect herself.
I hurriedly told them about finding Long Xiaoman's mobile phone, Hou Xiaofei took the phone, and looked left and right and didn't see why.
In the end, we could only set our sights on Brother Iceberg.
Brother Bingshan is the nickname I gave Shangguan Chen, and his whole person is always cold, as if he doesn't care about anything, like an iceberg.
Brother Bingshan glanced around, then looked left and right at the stone platform, and then pointed to the water next to him and said, "Monkey, you go down and have a look." ”
"Damn, why me, why don't you go down!" Hou Xiaofei immediately protested.
Brother Bingshan said coldly, "Long Xiaoman's mobile phone fell here, there are two situations, the first ......"
Brother Bingshan said his analysis, which was roughly the same as what I just thought, but he analyzed a little more than me, "If it wasn't Long Xiaoman himself who answered the phone at that time, then it would definitely not be a human being, if it was a human being, it must be Long Xiaoman's enemy, and it was impossible to throw away the mobile phone casually and leave clues for others." ”
"This shows that if it weren't for Long Xiaoman's sudden accident, he must be a person who doesn't know the mobile phone, inadvertently indirectly called the phone, and then threw it aside, which means that the person who answered the phone must be a person who doesn't know the mobile phone!"
After listening to it, I secretly admired that the nickname of the Holy Hand Scholar was really not in vain, his thinking was quick, his mind was sharp, and everything could be analyzed in an orderly manner when it came to his hands, and I completely ignored this point just now.
"But how can you be sure that Long Xiaoman is down there?" Hou Xiaofei asked.
Brother Bingshan said, "I didn't say that Long Xiaoman must be below, but if it is the first case, the call was answered by Long Xiaoman, and he encountered an unexpected situation, so he didn't even have the strength to fight back." But the space here is confined and there is only one entrance, with Long Xiaoman's ability, even if a master like Amu comes, if Long Xiaoman is prepared, he can fight for at least a few rounds. ”
"So the only reasonable explanation is that Long Xiaoman was suddenly attacked, and this is empty all around, there is no lurking place at all, the only ambush point is in the water, the person who attacked him, while she was unprepared, suddenly jumped up from the water and launched a surprise attack on her!"
"Then why don't you go down by yourself?" Hou Xiaofei said dissatisfied.
Brother Bingshan glanced at him, put away the folding fan with a bang, jumped into the water, and didn't forget to leave a sentence, "Protect Zhang Zhanning!" ”
