Chapter 62: Into the Valley

The thick tongue is aimed at the head of the prey, and once entangled, it can cause the prey to suffocate, and the entanglement of the head helps to quickly drag the prey away - at least the prey still has to be wary of its own neck when it struggles. But the tongue that spit out was wrapped around a thick arm - Zhou Zhongmou seemed to have been prepared, stretched out a left hand and took the initiative to let the tongue wrap around, to say that the reflex nerve of this thing is also weak, and as soon as it touches something, it will be wrapped subconsciously.

This is a very large frog, and it is more appropriate to call it a box frog or horned frog than a frog. The short, stout body, the big mouth, and the fact that it lay down in the water really resembled a large smooth stone - only the stone was also a little larger, about three meters in diameter. This kind of monster Zhou Zhongmou has seen in the record, it is the most common magic frog in the big wetland, the only problem is that this demon frog is a little larger. "Isn't it said that magic frogs are generally just over a meter long, and they usually hunt by spitting and paralyzing large enemies. How did this thing get so big? Wait? Paralysis? Not good, it was a mistake all of a sudden!"

The magic frog was trying to shrink its tongue, but the force on the other side was so great that it had never seen before, so the demon frog gave up dragging and prepared to bite hard. At this time, Zhou Zhongmou also felt a paralyzing feeling in his arm wrapped in his tongue - he was not wearing a full set of clothes now, at least his forearm was exposed. Therefore, this guy originally wanted to knock the frog unconscious and study it well, but now he can only chop it quickly so as not to accidentally capsize the boat. "It seems that my current strength has reached a rather exaggerated level" Zhou Zhongmou thought about this question as he pulled out the magic sword that was placed aside with his right hand.

The demon frog saw that the situation was not good, and the guy in the prey hand was obviously not good at stubble, although it had not yet slashed at itself, but the cold magic made it not think that its smooth and tough skin could resist. At that moment, the magic frog was ready to let go of its tongue and quickly jump away, but there are still Newtonian mechanics in this world, and if a magic frog does not have any special magic, it still has to obey the law of inertia - so the next moment the blood blooms.

Half of the frog rolled to the ground with a croak, the top half of its body was still struggling, and the bottom half of its body was already squirting urine and its hind legs were already twitching. At this time, Zhou Zhongmou untied his tongue, and then began to recall the information about this kind of demon frog, "Hell, I can't remember!" The guy scolded, and then began to look at the frog that was almost finished, "The vitality of this thing is so tenacious, and it is still struggling to breathe - anyway, if I put the upper and lower bodies of this thing together, will they still grow together?" Then he thought about it, grabbed the thigh of half of the frog with his hand, washed it in the stream, and then threw the upper body at the water's edge and let it struggle, and took the lower half of the body with him. "I always feel that it is more edible than the thighs of the field chicken!"

Natasha and Rezenov saw Zhou Zhongmou walking back with a cauldron full of water in one hand and an unknown object high on his shoulder in the other. Before they could tell what it was, Zhou Zhongmou had already thrown half of the frog to the ground with a hey, and at the same time hung the cauldron in his hand on the stand, and he himself took out the notebook in the big bag for the first time. "Sure enough, the magic frog, a monster unique to the Great Wetland. Edible!, but be careful not to contaminate the edible part with the poison sac. He carefully flipped the page to the side of the devil's frog structure, "It's really lucky, the poison sac happens to be in the upper body, if you use the normal method of disemboweling, it will almost definitely break, and then the whole devil frog will not be able to eat." ”

At this time, the other two were also chatting around the half frog, especially Rezenov, who looked at the fat thighs and expressed his admiration, which must have been good. Of course, Zhou Zhongmou fulfilled his wish and cut off the frog's two hind legs with three strikes and five divisions with his magic sword, and the rest of the parts were thrown into the grass in the distance with a "hey" - the nearby scavengers would help them solve this problem. The skinned thighs were as white as jade, and then Rezenov quickly plucked strips of meat from them with a knife, scalded them directly into the boiled soup with dried meat, vegetables, and spices, and put them in his mouth—followed by a satisfied exhale. "Well, it doesn't look poisonous and it should taste good. Zhou Zhongmou also put a piece of meat in it

As a large demon frog with a diameter of three meters and almost five meters long after being opened, there is quite a lot of meat on the two two-meter-long hind legs - the problem now is that the frog meat is not suitable for making dry meat, and Natasha's space ring can't fit - at least it can't be put down much before the dry food it originally carried is consumed, and the space is not fresh. This is completely different from the space ring that Zhou Zhongmou usually sees in novels or anime games. Anyway, Zhou Zhongmou and Rezenov ate and drank a lot, that is, they ate two-thirds of the meat belonging to the thighs on the two hind legs, and Natasha ate even less, and in the end they just smeared the rest of the frog meat with seasoning, wrapped it in the big leaves that Rezenov found and threw it into the charcoal fire to simmer, and then they each went into the tent to rest.

The arrangement of the three-person vigil is also very simple, and Zhou Zhongmou is the second. In the middle of the night, he added firewood to the fire, and he carefully examined his strength. Zhou Zhongmou, who was standing by the fire, practiced his fighting skills slowly, carefully observing the flow of "qi" in his body and the contraction and stretching of his muscles, "The strength has increased a lot, almost every moment, but it is obviously much slower than when I was in the labyrinth." And it's probably getting closer to the limit, and I think that's pretty much it. Basically, this power is already exaggerated enough to be compared to the cyclops I met, in short, it is far beyond the strength of humans - it will not be worse than the silver-level earl, if you don't explode and close the distance, I think that the bald guy may not be able to wrestle with me even if he explodes. ”

There was no abnormality during the vigil, it should be because Zhou Zhongmou pulled out the magic sword and inserted it by the fire, and there was no sound around the surroundings - at least a few hundred meters, not even the sound of insects. In order to avoid trouble, this guy stuck his sword in the ground from the very beginning, so much so that in fact the vigil was simply wasted

The next morning, after digging out the frog meat from the charcoal fire and eating it, the three of them set out on their journey again. This time, by noon, they were already standing at the entrance to the Great Wetland. It was a valley, and there was a winding river flowing out of the valley, and the air was humid and hot, but Zhou Zhongmou felt that this was completely unscientific, "The sea is in the south, and this valley is basically north-south, and there are no mountains in the north when I looked at it yesterday." How did this water vapor accumulate in this gourd-shaped valley? Without the obstruction of the mountains, the warm and humid air currents converged here?" But he also knew that the magical world could not be explained by the geography of the earth, after all, this was actually a secret realm formed after the nests of various aquatic monsters gathered, so it was normal to directly trigger the atmospheric circulation.

The entrance to the valley is about a kilometer wide, but the inside is at least five or six kilometers wide - this is written in the information of the trade union, although they did not investigate in detail, but at least they have figured out the scope of this secret realm - of course, after really stepping in, the expansion of space is also a very normal thing, and it seems that the width of five or six kilometers from the outside may be tens or hundreds of kilometers inside. There are many forks in the river, but the depth of the water is about ten meters, and there is a magic sense everywhere in the river bank and river water - there are really a lot of aquatic monsters, and it is estimated that the frog floated out from here.
