Volume 1 of the Book of Witchcraft Chapter 18: The Frog People
Zhao Hong looked out of the boat, only to see the river waves surging, dozens of droplet-shaped unknown objects on the river surface surrounded the boat, each droplet was about a meter in diameter. If it weren't for this huge size, Zhao Hong would really feel that they were just ordinary small water droplets, inconspicuous in the waves.
"What the hell are these things?"
At this time, Zhao Hong's strength had recovered, and a strong sense of crisis made him stand up. He had already scanned it with his soul sense, and found that these droplets could not be detected at all.
I saw Jiang Wei jump on the bow of the boat, slowly pulled out a soft whip with a whole red body from his waist, held it with his right hand, raised his eyebrows and shouted: "I am the daughter of the god clan, why don't you quickly show your original form of the demon beast, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless under the whip!"
Dozens of water droplets kept surrounding the boat, and I don't know if they were shocked by Jiang Wei's shouting, so they didn't attack for a while.
Zhao Hong looked at Jiang Wei's posture and was a little speechless. This little Lori is not possessed by a drama spirit? You pretend like this, shouting loudly can be useful?
"Smack......
A red ray slashed out of the air, and the girl waved her whip, hitting the nearest droplet. The water droplet burst instantly, splashing a few pieces into the boat, and most of them fell into the sea.
Then there was a "bang", and after the teardrop-shaped shell broke, a pale white light flashed inside, and at the same time a black shadow burst out, which turned out to be a naked humanoid! Although it was very small, less than two feet, it had a head and limbs. The creature had a huge head, short limbs, and was a dwarf human. The appearance is strange and ugly, reminiscent of a frog, with protruding eyes and a flat nose, thick lips, and a wide jaw, although ugly, it is no different from a human, especially the small bird under the crotch, which is lifelike.
Zhao Hong picked up a piece of shard, and his heart was shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Wei, who looked weak, to be so powerful! Also, what kind of monster is this exhibitionist monster?
The dwarf humanoid was clearly badly injured, a trail of blood drawn from the whip on its back, and its green eyes flashed with fear.
It struggled to stand up, and when it saw Zhao Hong just standing beside it, it did not hesitate to pop out a long tongue from its mouth to attack, as fast as an arrow from the string, more than three feet long, and layers of special dark green slime splashed from the surface of the tongue.
This reminds us of frogs hunting insects. Are these monsters human beings or not? Where do people have such long tongues!
Saying that it was too late, Zhao Hong flashed and reflexively avoided the attack of the long tongue. The stench of mucus was disgusting as the long tongue passed him. Zhao Hong then kicked out violently, kicked the dwarf in the abdomen, and directly kicked it out of the side of the boat, falling into the water, dying a small patch of red.
He had also practiced the "Witch Codex" for a month, and it was not a big problem to kick a small dwarf.
It is unknown whether the death of a companion caused the anger of the other droplets, or whether the smell of blood wafting through the air caused the bloodthirsty instinct of the creatures, but after the death of the first gnome, the other droplets became agitated and rushed towards the boat like crazy.
The situation is not good! Zhao Hong complained again and again in his heart, in this small boat, there was no place to hide.
"Pap, papa, pap......" The girl waved the long whip in her hand, and with a swing of the whip, she had already knocked the five or six water droplets that rushed to the front and fell into the sea. This made the remaining droplets stop suddenly, and they didn't dare to continue to attack.
"You and the other tongue frog people are just barbarians of Fanbang, and when they see my god clan's daughter, they don't come to worship quickly, do you want to provoke the divine power of my god clan?" Jiang Wei shouted again.
Her eyes revealed a domineering murderous aura. Zhao Hong knew that this kind of murderous aura was not the kind of murderous atmosphere that had been tempered for a long time, but an innate noble and domineering spirit, not angry but self-assured. At this time, Jiang Wei is not at all the appearance of Lori just now, but like a real queen.
There were about twenty droplets left, and after hesitating for a while, they dived into the water one after another, and the water surface calmed down completely.
"Hmph! Fanbang barbarians, they are really vulgar and have no manners. Jiang Wei muttered in his mouth, still haunting the water droplets for not paying homage.
She put the soft whip into her waist again, turned her head and found Zhao Hong looking at herself with her mouth wide open, and said, "I didn't expect you to be a mortal mortal with some skills. In this way, in the future, you will follow Lord Ben and be my girl's attendant, and Lord Ben will cover you!"
"No, that...... Xiaowei, you're too deep into the play, aren't you? It's hard for you monks who cultivate immortals, and you often watch plays?" Zhao Hong said angrily.
"Call me Lady Girl!" Jiang Wei emphasized again.
"Okay, my Majesty the Queen......" Zhao Hong replied helplessly.
"Why are you so clumsy, little brute? I've said it many times, it's a girl!" Jiang Wei's eyes widened.
"Yes, girl...... No, who do you mean by the little barbarian?" Zhao Hong was annoyed and asked directly. Jiang Weigang scolded those little frogmen with strange tongues for being barbarians, and now he says that he is a little barbarian, how can he not be angry.
"You and other mortals, with clumsy qualifications, are not much different from those uncivilized Qiyu barbarians just now. I don't call you what do you call you, little barbarian?"
"You are a ......" Zhao Hong didn't say it after all. Not to mention that she has not fully recovered from her injuries now, even if she does, how can she be her opponent. He has just seen the power of Jiang Wei's whip with his own eyes, this girl is crazy, if it is more serious, it is himself who suffers.
Zhao Hong thought about it, forget it, put up with it for the time being. When the boat docks, I will go our separate ways with her, I can't afford to provoke her, can't I hide?
Jiang Wei saw that his face was changing, so he asked, "What do you want to say?"
Zhao Hong's heart beat tightly, pretending to be pleading, and said with a wry smile: "I have a name and a surname...... That, can you please stop calling me a little brute, I don't like nicknames!"
Jiang Wei's expression turned curious, "What is your nickname?" By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is?"
Zhao Hong was stunned, and said in his heart that this little girl is finally a little normal, and she will ask her name. He paused and said with a smile: "My name is Zhao Hong, you are younger than me, you can call me Brother Hong, Brother Zhao, Brother Hong, these can be done." Zhao Hong believes that girls have to be coaxed, and they will be obedient when they are happy.
"You little barbarian of the human race are really bold enough, you dare to let my dignified god clan call you brother, do you know that the sky is high and the earth is thick?" This time Jiang Wei's tone became stern again, but this time she was not angry.
"It's almost ......" Zhao Hong looked up at the sky, his expression became disappointed again, "But then again, you are really good, how about we make friends?"
"Friend?" Jiang Weiyu put her hand on her cheek, thinking thoughtfully, "I've never made friends, no, you're my entourage!" After speaking, she took out a delicate transparent dagger from her sleeve.
Zhao Hong's face changed immediately, he jumped back sharply, and put his hands together, "What are you doing here? If you don't be a friend, you won't do it, why do you use knives and guns!"
Seeing this, Jiang Wei pursed his lips and smiled lightly, but did not speak, but kept writing strange runes on the dagger with his right index finger, which was as strange as a Taoist priest drawing talismans.
Zhao Hong shook his head, patted his chest, and withdrew his clenched fists.
After a short time, Jiang Wei finished writing, and saw that the original depiction was shining with golden light, as if there were thousands of dense tiny words surrounding the dagger.
Zhao Hong looked surprised, what kind of weirdness is this? The dense small characters are words but not words, but more like a kind of rune, like words but not words, like paintings but not paintings, extremely weird. After only one breath, the golden light of those small words disappeared, and they condensed and settled in the dagger.
"What is this?" Zhao Hong was curious. Not to mention how strange these runes are, but how fast it takes to write thousands of words in this instant!
"What's so strange about this? I'll tell my father that he's safe, so that he won't be worried. Jiang Wei waved his sleeve, and the dagger flew away like a thunderbolt and disappeared.
Zhao Hong gave her a thumbs up, never!
On the three poles of the sun, on the vast eastward flowing river, a light boat drifts forward unhurriedly.
Zhao Hong didn't talk to Jiang Wei for the past two hours, just closed his eyes and sat quietly. He didn't know where the boat was going, and he didn't dare ask.
Suddenly, there was a "grunt" sound in his stomach, Zhao Hong opened his eyes and sighed. Although he has been cultivating the Witch Book now, after all, his cultivation is too low, and the soul alchemy technique is simply not enough to replenish the essence energy consumed by his body. And he has always been cautious about dementorship, not daring to use it blindly.
Gotta find something to eat!
Zhao Hong looked at Jiang Wei, who was still sitting cross-legged on the bow of the boat, and shook his head helplessly, and then he kept looking for it on the boat.
In a short time, he found a wooden pole and a thin thread on the ship, and then removed a nail from the ship and bent it to make a hook, and a simple hook was finished.
"Hey, is there any bait?" Zhao Hong asked.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Wei opened his eyes and looked at him.
Zhao Hong was thirsty and hungry, and asked: "I haven't eaten or drunk for a night and half a day, and there is no dry food on the boat, aren't you thirsty? Not hungry? I have to find a way to catch a fish, I'm hungry, do you understand?"
Jiang Wei snorted and said, "Fishing? Have you forgotten what you just said? Are you not afraid that there are goblins and monsters underwater, and you are a little mortal who wants to fish? Even if you catch it, I'm afraid that it is not you who eat the fish, but the fish who eat you!"
Zhao Hong was dumbfounded, he really didn't think of this problem, he threw the fishing rod directly, and replied angrily: "What kind of broken place is this! Since you are so powerful, why don't you go to the sky to fight a big bird? Why don't you go down to the river to catch an old man? So that I can reward the Five Organs Temple." ”
"Cut, mortal, little barbarian, you are really troublesome......" Jiang Wei waved his sleeves, and a pill popped out directly and flew into Zhao Hong's mouth, "This is Bigu Dan, after you take it, I will teach you not to sacrifice your five internal organs temple for a month." ”
Zhao Hong saw that something the size of a pill flew into his mouth, the speed was too fast, he didn't have time to dodge, and it melted in his mouth, he couldn't taste what it tasted like or what it was made of.
Besides, I'm just hungry, not sick. Who knows what this crazy girl has eaten herself, and what if it's poison?
I blame myself for a lot of things, I was trapped in the stone room at the bottom of the lake, I didn't eat for half a month, didn't I get through it? Now even if I'm hungry, can't I just pass it, and I have nothing to catch any fish?
The more Zhao Hong thought about it, the more annoyed he became, when he met such a domineering little Lori, he simply made himself want to cry without tears!
However, to his surprise, he immediately felt his original hunger and thirst disappear not long after the pill was ingested. Now he has an indescribable sense of comfort, feeling full of energy and full of strength. With this feeling, he believes that he can now kill a cow with one punch.
It's definitely a big tonic pill!
