Chapter 44 Burn

Seeing this, Chang loaded another bolt, preparing his next attack. He didn’t run away after the first attack because the scarlet tongue had showed him how good the bullfrog’s dynamic vision was – it could even intercept the flying bolt. No matter how fast he could run away, he couldn’t escape anyways.

Plus, from what he had known, frogs had good dynamic vision but not static vision. So Chang was quietly and calmly changing the bolt.

But he was wrong.

His information was outdated. That frogs had poor static vision was an old notion, they evolved a lot after the red fog.

Therefore, just when he was pulling the string, a scarlet tongue swept towards him from outside the gra.s.s bush in just a blink of an eye.

Chang didn’t have time to dodge at all, the horrifying long tongue wrapped around his waist and he felt an enormous force coming from it, pulling him upward. Chang was 60 kilograms but instantly, he was caged in its tongue as if he was a mosquito. While the tongue was retracting, Chang made efforts to maintain balance of his body, and while he was nearing the big b.l.o.o.d.y mouth, he was silently calculating the rapidly narrowing distance between him and the bullfrog.

3 meters, 2 meters, 1 meter…

Bang!

Finally, Chang hit the edge of its mouth, but he was well prepared for this scenario; He stretched out his body widely so that his limbs could hold the mouth open. It was a tough battle between the biting force of the bullfrog and the power that Chang was using to prevent the bullfrog’s mouth from closing up。

A level 5 and a level 4 were not that different in power. Chang was stuck in between its upper and lower jaw. Although he felt the force became stronger, he still managed to keep it open. Suddenly, he noticed some strange mucus on its oral lining.

The mucus was gra.s.s-green and exuded a pungent smell; it must be either toxic or extremely corrosive. At the same time, he looked down to the tongue that was still wrapped around his waist, there was mucus secreting from its taste buds too. His t-s.h.i.+rt started producing some smoke after touching the mucus, and a stream of heat came after the smoke on his waist.

“It secrets acid?!” Chang was shocked after he started to feel the pain.

Time waits for no one！

Although Chang was in panic, he didn’t lose his pace. He clearly knew that it was impossible for him to escape in this moment, so he chose an alternative – He held up the frog palate with his left hand arduously and aligned the crossbow to the center of its mouth hurriedly.

Whoos.h.!.+ He pulled the trigger again.

Without the keratin armour, the bolt easily cut through the air and pierced the oral lining. It slowed down after went through the lining but it continued to penetrate to the abdominal cavity as if it was a marmot digging through the ground.

“Pop.” The bolt had been deeply inserted into the bullfrog’s body.

The unexpected injury caused the green acidic mucus to be ejected from its mouth by reflex. The acidic streams were so forceful that it splashed onto Chang’s body like a storm. His t-s.h.i.+rt started to burn off first, and the extremely hot sensation became more apparent on the front of his body. Even though Chang was strong-minded, he could not bear it and started twitching up.

The acidic burning almost burned off his skin but not his mind. Under the pain, Chang threw away his crossbow and took out the scalpel from the pocket of his pants. He used his greatest strength to slice apart that scarlet tongue.
