Chapter 62 Social Animals (1/2)

After spitting at Gao Peng, the Green-Skinned Frog seemed delighted. Even its eyes were smiling, curving into crescent moon shapes.

Only after the Green-Skinned Frog rose to the surface did Gao Peng manage to see its whole appearance properly. It was like a round ball floating on the surface of the water. Its body was totally green, with darker green stripes running from its head to its rear end. It basically looked like a walking watermelon.

He felt that ”Watermelon Frog” would be a more suitable name for the Green-Skinned Frog.

The frog saw that Gao Peng did not react. Its eyes rolled around in its sockets and then it spat another mouthful of saliva onto Gao Peng's left trouser leg. It excitedly slapped the water surface, sending water splashing about.

Gao Peng looked the frog straight in the face.

The Green-Skinned Frog's eye focused upwards at Gao Peng. There was a rather human-like look of curiosity in its eyes.

Heh.

Gao Peng laughed.

Then,

Pooh!

That's right, I'm the kind of guy that would do such pointless things.

Gao Peng's troll side acted up. He looked with delight at the expression of the Gree-Skinned Frog which just got a mouthful of Gao Peng's saliva on its face.

Guu! The Green-Skinned Frog wailed in despair, as though it had been horribly wronged.

In the blink of an eye, the pond erupted with a crescendo of frog croaks. The croaks combined into a wave of sound that rumbled as loudly as thunder.

Guu! Guu! Guu! Guu!

Countless croaks rang in the air.

One by one, frog heads began to pop out from the originally still water surface. Some were large and some were small. The smallest were only the size of an orange while the largest were easily three feet wide. All of them were staring coldly at Gao Peng. At a glance, there seemed to be over a thousand of them. Just their sheer number would make one's hair stand on end. The entire pond was Green-Skinned Frog territory.

”Run!” said Gao Peng, as he immediately turned and ran with Da Zi.

Mu Tieying followed closely behind with Lotus Seed. She was slightly doubtful at first, as to what harm these frogs could do to them while in the water.

The next moment, she understood.

The sound of inhaling could be heard behind them. The water was being continually sucked in by all the Green-Skinned frogs, bubbling as it entered their bellies.

Then –

Bangbangbangbang.

Water arrows flew through the air like torrential rain.

The water arrows hit the trees in the area and resulted in varying degrees of damage. Weaker ones only broke the bark, but the stronger ones blew the branches apart, as though they were hit by an air cannons.

Twigs and broken leaves were flying in the air.

Lotus Seed was still all right because of her strong defense. The water arrows did nothing but give off a dull thud as they hit her body.

Mu Tieying hid in front of Lotus Seed, allowing her to avoid the water arrow attacks.

Looking at the damage done to the trees around her, Mu Tieying lowered her head. If these attacks hit her, they might actually cause damage to her internal organs even with her protective gear on.

This would explain why there were so few plants and animals near the pond. It was all because of these Green-Skinned Frogs.

At this moment, in some location unknown to Gao Peng, an infrared camera installed right at the top of a large tree was slowly panning, recording the entire scene.

This was a large room with many large screens. A few soldiers sat in front of each screen, which was divided into many separate smaller screens. Each of the small screens represented one monitoring camera.
