Chapter 257: Black-backed Toad
Jiang Shen paused and looked back at Yu Su suspiciously.
Yu Yu said: "This is the key to solving the problem, and if you run now, you may miss the real clue." β
Although staying here requires a certain amount of risk, but as Yu Su said, it is very likely that there will be real clues, Jiang Shen hesitated for a moment and chose to stay with Yu Su.
The frequency and amplitude of the ground were getting faster and louder, and they could no longer stabilize their bodies when they stood on their feet, so they had to stick their weapons into the ground as support so that they would not fall.
The violent shaking caused cracks to appear in the ground, and some trees that were not deeply rooted had fallen to the ground.
"Jiang Daoyou, there is something wrong in this place, let's go to the air. Yu Su could clearly feel that something seemed to be breaking through the ground under her feet, she had no intention of flying Edgeworth, after all, she could react much faster when she was on the ground than when she was flying, but now she had to see what was in the ground first.
She had a hunch that they were about to break through.
As there were more and more cracks in the land, the things in the ground finally revealed their true colors, which was a huge black-backed toad, with black and large eyes, round belly, and a bulging belly, which was quite naΓ―ve.
But this black-backed toad that looks simple can scare Yu Yu and Jiang Shen enough, the black-backed toad itself is a fifth-order demon beast, and its strength is comparable to Jin Dan, but now the black-backed toad in front of them is much larger than the average size, which means that this guy is most likely mutated, and the geometry of this strength is not something that the two of them can explore in the foundation building period.
The two originally wanted to run away, but halfway through the run, Jiang Shen was once again stopped by Yu Su.
He asked, "What's wrong?"
Yu Su frowned and said, "There is no murderous aura, this black-backed toad has no murderous aura." β
Whether it is a monk or a demon beast, or even an ordinary mortal, as long as they have a murderous intent, there will inevitably be a murderous aura, the difference is just whether it is good to cover it up or not, but the mind of demon beasts is not as much as that of humans, they are generally straightforward and disdain to cover up their murderous aura. Of course, it's not that all demon beasts are so direct, it's just that generally speaking, they don't have this habit.
From the time the black-backed toad appeared, Yu Yu found that it was not murderous, at first she thought it was the toad's slow reaction, so she gave them a chance to escape, but they both ran for a while but did not see any movement from it, and it didn't seem to have any intention of killing them at all, which made her stop running away.
"Eh?" Jiang Shen narrowed his eyes and seriously felt the aura around the black-backed toad, calm and indifferent, there was really no trace of murderous aura, "This big toad doesn't seem to have any killing intent towards us." β
Yu Su nodded, although it was easy for cultivators and demon beasts who were higher than them to hide their killing intent from them, but Yu Su's current divine sense was comparable to that of Jindan monks, and she was still a little confident in her judgment.
"Go back and see?" Yu suggested, although there are still many uncertain dangers ahead, but they are also the key to solving the problem, and they must not miss it.
"Let's go. Jiang Shen said simply, he hadn't forgotten that they were still in the level, and there must be some clues hidden in the black-backed toad drawn from this ground movement.
They cautiously returned to their original places, the black-backed toad's large, round eyes glancing at them, and then opening its mouth and spitting out its long tongue.
This action made Yu Su and Jiang Shen's hearts rise to their throats, but fortunately, the tongue of the black-backed toad was not aimed at them, its tongue fell not far in front of Yu Su, and the bright red tongue carried a fishy smell, Yu Su couldn't help but temporarily close his sense of smell.
Because of the black-backed toad's tongue beside them, the two of them did not dare to make any moves, and both froze and prayed that the black-backed toad would quickly withdraw its tongue, but strangely after a while, the black-backed toad's tongue did not move a bit.
"What is it trying to do?" Jiang Shen couldn't help but say to Yu Yu.
Yu Yu was also a little dazed, she thought that the black-backed toad was searching for food at first, so she didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of being used as food, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see the black-backed toad make the next move, so what did it keep sticking out its tongue for?
At this moment, the black-backed toad's round black eyes squinted at them, as if to indicate something.
Yu Yu followed its gaze, and a bold guess arose in his mind.
"No, that's not what it means. She couldn't help but mutter.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Jiang Shen saw that she hadn't been attacked by the black-backed toad, so he stopped transmitting the sound and directly changed to talking, but for the sake of safety, he still kept his voice extremely low.
Yu Su said with a complicated face: "Did you see its eyes just now?"
Jiang Shen, who had been paying attention to the black-backed toad, naturally saw it too, "It seems to be looking at us?" he said uncertainly.
"It," Yu paused, "it seems to be motioning for us to stand up..."
β......?β Jiang Shen seemed to have heard the Arabian Nights, and was silent for a long time and said, "You're not mistaken, are you?
Yu Su glanced at the black-backed toad again, it repeated the look just now, and Yu Su said, "It seems to mean this." β
It would be nice if this was a real demon beast, so that the glutinous rice cake could communicate with it, but unfortunately this is an illusion, even if it is real, it is fake, so the idea of this black-backed toad can only be guessed by Yu Yu himself.
Jiang Shen was still a little incredulous, "This station, one is wrong, we may really explain here." β
Of course, Yu Yu also thought of this, and she muttered: "Look, is this tongue far away from us now?"
Jiang Shen looked at the tongue of the black-backed toad not far away and shook his head, he understood what Yu Yu meant, just the distance between them and the black-backed toad's tongue now, as long as it wanted, it would be easy to capture the two of them.
"As long as it had that idea, we're in its belly now, but apparently it doesn't have that idea, and I think we can try. Yu Yu continued.
"But aren't you afraid that your idea is wrong, but it will anger it?" Jiang Shen couldn't help but say.
Of course, this is also a possibility, but how can there be so many things in life that can be 100% certain, after all, you still have to gamble, Yu Su grinned and said: "I'm a gambler." β
Yu Yu bent his peach blossom eyes, took the lead in stepping, and walked to the tongue of the black-backed toad with a smile.
As if infected by Yu Su's smile, Jiang Shen felt that the black-backed toad didn't seem to be so terrifying, he involuntarily took a step forward, but his movements still slowed down, and after seeing that Yu Su was not attacked on the black-backed toad's tongue, he walked up.
"Nothing happened?" The expected attack did not happen, nor did the expected change occur, Jiang Shen said with a little disappointment.
Yu Yu said: "At least it proves that this black-backed toad really has no killing intent towards us, and is even friendly, otherwise it should have killed us when we stood on its tongue." β
Jiang Shen also had to admit that Yu Yu's judgment was correct this time, but they had already stood on its tongue, why didn't it make any moves, what did it want to do?
