Chapter 3: The Golden Horn Toad
Knowing that the comer was not good, Zhang Jingsheng secretly screamed in private, at that moment, there was no time for him to hesitate anything, he quickly crawled from the water to the opposite bank without thinking about it, and in a panic, his feet were cut by the stones in the water several wounds, and one of his shoes ran away.

When the giant toad saw that the prey in its mouth had fled, it would not give up, so it hurriedly pounced forward. Fortunately, Zhang Jingsheng was a step faster and had already climbed to the shore, and the giant toad suddenly pounced.
Zhang Jingsheng gasped on the shore, and found that his heart was beating very hard, and his heart seemed to jump to his throat. But when he got to the shore, he thought he was safe, and he began to look at the toad. I saw that this giant toad was taller than himself, with a round body, except for the white belly, the rest of the body was jet black, and there were black bumps, and the two red toad eyes on the forehead were staring at Zhang Jingsheng fiercely, with his big mouth open, the two rows of sharp fangs were exposed, and a long tongue was stretched and retracted, as if he wanted to swallow Zhang Jingsheng in one bite.
Zhang Jingsheng found that there was still a horn on the head of this giant toad, a golden horn, could it be ...... Could this be the legendary Golden Horn Toad?
Zhang Jingsheng was stunned, he had only heard people talk about this kind of monster in the village before, and if any child was naughty, the adults would coax him, saying that the Golden Horn Toad was a particularly naughty child. Later, I watched "The Chronicles of the Desolation", only to know that this golden-horned toad was originally an ancient evil beast, and now it seems to be extinct, it is said that this evil beast lives on the southern desert island in the East China Sea, how can there be it here. Is it a mistake?
In addition to reading medical books, Zhang Jingsheng is also very interested in those strange novels and absurd and bizarre notes, especially books such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Sou Shen Ji", "Desolate Zhi", and "Huainanzi", which he has read over and over again, and has memorized them by heart.
If you look closely, it's really a golden-horned toad, because it's exactly the same as what is described in "Desolation". According to the "Desolation Chronicle", this thing is extremely ferocious, bird-eating beasts, humans and animals, when chasing prey, as long as the prey is close to it, it will immediately spew out some venom from the horns of its head, as long as it is stained with a little venom, the prey will be red all over the body, and the reaction will slowly become very dull, in the end, it can be said that it can not move at all, obediently stay in place, waiting for the golden horn toad to turn it into its own snack.
The book also records that where the golden-horned toad appeared, there must be a kind of monster - the blue-scaled winged snake, this blue-scaled winged snake is not a good kind, as the name suggests, this snake is green all over, and it also has a pair of wings, it is also very ferocious, this snake can also change into eighteen appearances in one day, swaggering everywhere, much more powerful than this golden-horned toad. It is said that both of these things still have high medicinal value, but now that my life is gone, I still don't care if I can use it medicinally or not, it is important to escape.
As soon as Zhang Jingsheng thought of running for his life, he immediately came back to his senses, he looked again, and found that the Golden Horn Toad was staring at him with wide eyes in the water, motionless, I don't know why, it seems that there is no posture ready to attack him. Looking around vigilantly, fortunately there were no other monsters, not to mention the Emerald Scaly Snake, not even the straw rope.
Zhang Jingsheng suddenly thought that when he first entered the cave, he saw the words on the wall of the cave - Jinbi Immortal Mansion, it seems that this cave is not inhabited by immortals, but the cave of goblins, alas...... If I knew this, I wouldn't have gotten up, this is simply a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and it seems that this time I am more than lucky.
Because he had lost a shoe, and the other shoe was covered with mud, it was not easy to walk at all, so he wanted to take off this shoe as well, but as soon as he bent his foot, the golden-horned toad immediately moved, and with the sound of "quack-", I saw the golden-horned toad jump up and rush towards Zhang Jingsheng on the shore, fortunately this time he didn't jump very far, and he was still in the river, but the splash also splashed Zhang Jingsheng. ...,
Only then did Zhang Jingsheng remember that the eyes of this golden-horned toad were probably the same as a frog, and it couldn't see things that didn't move. So he stood there motionless, thinking that if the Golden Horn Toad could not see its prey, it might have left.
However, it didn't take long for him to find that this method was quickly useless, because it was the height of summer, and although the cave was a little damp, it was still very hot in general, and there was still a wind blowing from outside, and the clothes that were wet and sticking to his body slowly dried.
Zhang Jingsheng grabbed his clothes tightly with his hands, not wanting the Golden Horn Toad to see his clothes fluttering in the wind. Zhang Jingsheng thought to himself: If you find a place to hide, won't it be invisible, and look around, I am too disappointed, this place is full of bare stone walls, and there is no place to hide in a little recess, and the stone table is too far away.
About half an hour later, the clothes were all dry, because he had been standing for a long time, and he pulled his clothes hard, Zhang Jingsheng's feet and hands were a little sore, and another gust of wind blew in from outside the cave, Zhang Jingsheng's headscarf and clothes suddenly floated in the wind, especially the light blue robe worn outside, swinging in the air, and he couldn't pull it if he wanted to.
With the fluttering of the robe, the golden-horned toad jumped up from the water again, this time it was much more ferocious than the previous one, and suddenly jumped directly from the water to the shore, jumping right in front of Zhang Jingsheng.
Zhang Jingsheng didn't expect that the Golden Horn Toad would suddenly rush in front of him, and he had no idea for a while, so he turned around and ran forward, and in a panic, the copy of "Shennong Jinfang" in his arms fell out.
Oops, it's not good, just now because I was anxious to see the glowing things on the stone table, I actually forgot that I still had a copy of "Shennong Jinfang" in my arms, Zhang Jingsheng wanted to turn around and pick it up, but it was too late, I saw that the golden horn toad had followed closely, although the book was important, but life was even more important, alas...... Let's run for our lives first!
When the golden horned toad saw something in front of him fall, he thought it was some kind of prey, and he was overjoyed, stretched out his long tongue and rolled it hard, firmly hooking the "Shennong Golden Fang", and then sent it to his mouth, but he didn't chew it a few times, as if he found that the taste was wrong, and spit it out again.
Zhang Jingsheng was dumbfounded, he looked at the confetti and pulp chewed by the golden-horned toad on the ground, and thought desperately: "This time is good, how to explain to Sai Huatuo is still a headache, that ancestral jade pendant may really not come back." ā
