If Chen Luo's perception was correct, apart from himself, the only living creature nearby was the frog that was looking at him right in front of him!
The little frog was only the size of a baby's fist, with a hat made of flowers on its head, and two flower stamens hanging down, tied in a knot at its chin. Although the eyes are big, they are a pair of dead fish eyes. No matter how you look at it, you look like a stinker. There is a small exquisite backpack on your back.
The whole appearance looks very much like the famous "Frog Son", the protagonist of the once popular Buddhist mobile game "Travel Frog" on Blue Star in his previous life.
"Did you attack me?" Chen Luo asked. The attack just now was not very lethal. It was probably enough to knock the fish unconscious. Chen Luo swam ashore and walked towards the little frog. The little frog also jumped up and down in front of Chen Luo.
There was only one meter between the person and the frog. The frog suddenly lowered his head, and the small backpack behind him untied itself, and a cloud of mist spurted out, lifting the frog up to eye level with Chen Luo.
The frog opened his mouth: "Quack..."
Something strange happened. The frog just croaked like this, but Chen Luo somehow understood its meaning.
"Do I smell like bugs?"
"Qua..."
"You hate the smell of bugs, so you attacked me?"
"Qua..."
"No need to apologize, it doesn't matter. I just killed an insect demon, so its scent may still be on me."
After hearing this, the frog nodded slightly, stood on its hind legs like a scholar, and made a bow to Chen Luo as an apology. Then the smoke dissipated, and the frog jumped away.
Chen Luo looked at the direction the little frog was leaving and shrugged. Monsters are not unusual.
Chen Luo returned to the river and took a good cleanse. He looked at the mountains and forests in front of him, feeling a little hesitant. There may be many monsters in this forest. If you enter rashly, you may encounter danger.
But right now, this is the only way.
It would be easier if there was a guide who knew the situation well.
While Chen Luo was thinking hard about countermeasures, a clear voice suddenly came from his ears——
"Gua... (Huh? This place is so familiar, and this person is so familiar!)"
Chen Luo turned his head and saw the traveling frog son again.
"why is it you again?"
"Hey... (I seem to have dropped something, come back and have a look. Goodbye!)"
The little frog jumped away again.
Chen Luo frowned slightly, feeling that something was a little weird.
Sure enough, ten minutes later.
"Hey... (Huh? Why am I here again? I was walking straight ahead...)"
"Are you lost?"
"Hey... (Nonsense, how could I get lost! Goodbye.)"
The little frog jumped away again.
Another ten minutes passed.
"Quick...(fuck!)"
Chen Luo originally planned to persuade this frog son to be his guide, but now it depends on the situation... haha.
Chen Luo glanced at Frog Son and walked into the forest.
…
In a magnificent pavilion, the meeting hall on the top floor was noisy and filled with people.
To be precise, it was filled with humanoid monsters.
Some have horns on their heads, some have monkey tails behind them, some have wings on their hands, and some have sharp claws on their legs...
A gathering of monsters!
The door of the meeting hall was pushed open, and the sound of an abacus was heard. When the demons heard the sound of the abacus, they fell silent instantly.
An old woman with an old face walked in, supported by two beautiful maids with fox tails. The old woman looked normal, but her neck was unusually thick, completely out of proportion to her head. As the old woman walked from the door to the main seat, shadows of gold and silver jewelry would fall behind her along the way.
Until the old woman sat down in the main seat, glanced at the monsters, and slowly said: "Have you all received the reward from Zhenxuan Division..."
A banshee with antlers on its head stepped forward and saluted: "Back to my mother-in-law, all the demon villages in Fuyun Mountain have received it, and we are about to send people out to find the young uncle."
The old woman nodded slightly and continued: "Okay. The reward offered by Zhenxuan Division is five Yuehua Pearls. I will also increase the number and add three more Sun Essence!"
The demons were in a roar. You know, if the demon clan practices and purifies their bloodline, they can only absorb the brilliance of the sun and the moon if they don't follow the evil path. Needless to say, the moonlight beads are made by condensing moonlight using special means. One pearl can equal the amount of moonlight for a year, and the sun essence is even more rare. It is the essence of the sun that has been tamed by an expert.
After all, moonlight is gentle, while sunlight is violent. Although the effect of absorbing sunlight is good, it is several times more difficult than absorbing moonlight.
"It's just that I want to ask you for something."
The demons were quiet again. The old woman sitting in the seat was a powerful figure. There was something else that she couldn't solve that required the demons to do. The demons suddenly pricked up their ears. Compared with the sun and the moon, the old woman's favor is obviously more valuable.
"Everyone has seen the old woman's only grandson. He ran away from home two days ago. Please pay attention to the little beast in my uncle's house when you are looking for him. If you encounter him, knock him out and bring him back. …”
The demons were stunned. The stag-antlered banshee stepped forward again and asked: "Mother-in-law, didn't the young master always fail to walk hundreds of miles away from home every time? Are there any clues this time?"
The old woman sighed: "Last time I bought ten Thousand Miles Wind Talisman from Master Yuan Xia, and that little beast stole one."
All the monsters felt a pain in their hearts: Thousand Miles Wind Talisman!
Although it is not as easy to pick up and use as the Great Teleportation Talisman, and it takes a while to activate, it can still be regarded as a life-saving tool. The demons here have a high status in the demon villages, but it often takes two or three years of salary to afford one.
Such a treasure, the young master actually used it just to run away from home...
If he is his descendant, he will be captured and beaten to death immediately!
"What the little beast took away was a defective piece. It was far from enough to allow it to hide for thousands of miles. It should still be within the scope of Fuyun Mountain. Could you please send a message back and keep an eye on it. Thank you very much..."
"Mother-in-law, you're welcome..." The demons quickly returned the favor and took out the jade slips to send messages to the leader of the demon village...
…
"Crack!"
Chen Luo picked the wild fruit from the tree and took a bite. It was a bit sour, but Chen Luo bit the bullet and ate it. At this time, Chen Luo missed the taste of meat very much...
Chen Luo turned his head, looked at Frog Son not far away, and frowned slightly.
"Forget it, it's less than a tael of meat, no need to waste it." Chen Luo gave up his thoughts. The frog son had been following him ever since he entered the forest.
Chen Luo waved: "Little frog, come here..."
"Quick... (You asked me to go there? Come here!)" The little frog jumped up and came to Chen Luo.
"Why are you following me?"
"Quack... (Human, I want to make a deal with you!)" The little frog stood up, crossed his forepaws, and made a chest-crossing gesture.
"What deal?"
"Hey... (How about you take me out of Fuyun Mountain and I'll pay you?)"
As he said that, the little frog lowered his head, and a ray of light shot out from the backpack on his back. Stopping in front of Chen Luo, it turned out to be a pearl that was even larger than the little frog.
"Quack... (Pearls from the East China Sea, worth thousands of gold...)"
Chen Luo's eyes just glanced at Pearl, then landed on the little frog's backpack.
Space treasure?
Chen Luo calmly accepted the pearl and said, "You little monster, don't you know that wealth should not be revealed? Aren't you afraid that I will rob you?"
The little frog looked Chen Luo up and down, and suddenly snorted with disdain.
"Gua... (It's up to you? Why don't you try it!)"
Seeing the little frog acting like this, Chen Luo felt happy. This little frog's behavior doesn't look like a wild monster in the mountains at all, but it looks like the young master of a wealthy monster clan, playing a rebellious role.
Such an identity, coupled with the space equipment, is quite reasonable.
If you say that he has no magic weapon for self-defense, you won't believe it even if you beat Chen Luo to death.
If you take it with you, you can throw it out as a shield if that witch Lian Ai catches up! To put it bluntly, a little frog no bigger than the palm of your hand is easy to take along with you, and maybe you can improve your friendliness. No matter how you look at it, it’s not a loss!
Well, the plan works!
"I made this deal!"
…
At the same time, where Lian Ai was, only a thin layer of the white silkworm cocoon suspended in mid-air was left, and Lian Ai's figure could be vaguely seen inside.
After a while, a small crack appeared on the cocoon, and an arm like white jade broke through the cocoon and stretched out from the inside.
Then the crack in the cocoon expanded, and another hand stretched out from the inside. With two hands pulling in two directions, the entire cocoon was torn open, and the naked Lian Ai walked out of the cocoon.
Like Shui Pingting's appearance, her body is graceful and exquisite.
Lian Ai slowly landed on the ground, lightly touched the jade bracelet in her hand, and a whole set of clothes suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Lian Ai took a deep breath, sensing the scent of the tracking Gu on Chen Luo, and slightly curved the corner of her mouth.
"Little brother, I'm here to find you..."
