Chapter 286 Duobao Toad
Chapter 286 Duobao Toad
The hot wind blew on my face, and a few lotus flowers swayed gently.
White water foam hits the pond wall.
The fat catfish dances with its fins and tail in the pond, and its two swinging whiskers are full of emotion and enthusiasm.
It tells the story of how difficult it was for the frogs to carve out a small place to live in the human territory.
Looking back on the thousands of years of history of the frog tribe, it is an unprecedented major development.
Humans are mean, cunning, and greedy.
The frog people are simple, hardworking and kind.
When it was young, it was a big tadpole about to grow into a frog. It escaped from a snake's mouth, lost its limbs, and stopped growing, becoming the limbless frog it is today.
Fortunately, the Toad King dug it up and appointed the frogs to their proper places. Under his wise and brave guidance, they headed to the land to expand their territory and negotiate with the human race at the risk of their lives.
The king's love for ships is by no means a waste of time, but the key to restarting water trade between the Demon Court and the human race. It is a far-sighted move that exceeds that of other demon kings!
The impassioned speech made the old toad so excited that he jumped and clapped his paws.
I wish I could take his place, rush to the Dragon Palace immediately, kill the dragon with my paws, then jump to that imperial capital, hire a million soldiers, and build a big pond!
It wants to plant lotus flowers all over it, accomplishing a feat that has never been seen before and will never be seen again!
However, the fat catfish lowered its whiskers and changed the subject.
There is a limit to how much a frog can do to encroach on human territory, and it cannot rely on the king for everything.
Many hands make light work. Only with the full support of the frog tribe can we continue to add bricks and tiles and expand our territory!
in short.
Lao Deng, send me money!
The fat catfish's whiskers danced with astringency. It lowered its head to drink some water and looked at the old toad with shining eyes.
"Well, supplies..."
Speaking of making money, the old toad that had been dancing and jumping up and down before now retracted its claws and webbed feet and pretended to stroke its whiskers. After stroking around for a while, it jumped onto the shore and paced around with its hands behind its back.
The two thick frog legs moved forward alternately, circling the pond, leaving long traces of water, as if walking over a slug.
The fat catfish felt something was wrong when he saw this.
Talk about money, what's the point?
In front of the warship, the big beaver tucked the drawings under his armpit and raised his paw to bow and greet.
The little beavers and river otters that climbed up and down jumped off the warships, lined up in a row, squatted on the ground and clasped their paws together.
The old toad raised its head and nodded slightly, pointing at the warship and asked.
"How much does this ship carry?"
The big beaver lowered its head, glanced secretly at the fat catfish under the water, and carefully raised its three claws.
"30,000 jin? Not bad! Is the boat strong?"
The big beaver scratched his face, took the opportunity to look down at the fat catfish again, and nodded vigorously.
"Good! Good! Good!"
The old toad croaked three times and croaked loudly towards the sky.
"I really misunderstood the king! I thought he was just playing with things, but in fact he is a man of foresight. The king is truly a rare frog that my frog clan has rarely seen in a thousand years!"
The old giant clam nestling in the water closed its shells tightly, trembled slightly, and tried hard to hold back its laughter.
That wrinkled toad was so stupid that he was fooled around.
How can a small boat carry things?
It's a semi-finished product without any stuffing at all, with only a shell but no substance. It has lived for more than a thousand years in vain without sinking in water!
The old toad asked the warship a few questions, then walked over to ask the otter how life was in the pond.
Jiang Otter scratched his head. There was no food provided, only accommodation, and he still had to work, but it was pretty good.
Seeing that the old toad was so concerned and caring, the fat catfish's uneasiness disappeared. He just felt that the other party was pragmatic and there was hope for money.
After the old toad asked a lot of questions, the fat catfish slapped the water to make a noise and mentioned its request again.
The old toad turned around, lowered his webbed claws, and signaled the "footless frog" to stay calm.
"I know, I know. It's about supplies and support. There will be rewards for merit, and good deeds will improve day by day."
The fat catfish rubbed its fins and asked the old toad what he was going to give it, hoping it would be better if he could give it more.
"Give what...yes, give what..., what should I give?"
Unexpectedly, the old toad stroked his whiskers in the air and started to walk around the field again.
In Chen Qingjiang's yard next door, Xiao Shunzi took out a piece of hot and sticky malt candy from his pocket and put it in his mouth, looking up at a few big lumps that popped up from time to time, wondering what was going on inside.
The fat catfish followed the old toad around in circles until he felt dizzy and couldn't help asking questions.
Why is it so difficult to ask for something?
The old toad was embarrassed to be asked three times.
It looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Alas, to be honest, I have the will but not the strength. I have the will to kill the enemy but not the ability to do so.
The frog tribe has only been rising for a short time. A few days ago, the king forged a magic weapon and put all the efforts of the entire tribe into it. There are really no fish left!"
The fat catfish was dumbfounded.
Where is the promised frog map hegemony?
No leftover fish?
I'll test it!
A master at pretending to be confused!
The fat catfish didn't see it clearly, but Liang Qu in the corner saw it clearly.
This old toad is not someone who is easy to deal with. He shouts loudly about killing dragons and living in the Dragon Palace, but he becomes stingy when it comes to money!
The fat catfish stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
Liang Qu immediately gave instructions through the spiritual connection. After hearing this, the fat catfish stood up and angrily scolded the old toad for forgetting his life for small profits and cherishing his body for big things! He made the frog tribe shed blood, sweat and tears!
The old toad was horrified and took three steps back, leaning against the wall. His white belly heaved violently and he almost croaked.
Although the fat catfish didn't know why its cultural level improved so much all of a sudden, it felt ashamed.
There is indeed no surplus food.
The frog tribe relied on the toad to become the overlord of the river, but in essence they were still a makeshift group, not much different from the villages in the human books, living in scattered areas.
Toad is the village chief and clan leader, and old toad is a respected village elder. Relying on his seniority, he has no problem commanding the village frogs to do their work. But when it comes to paying, the village frogs don't pay taxes, and the village treasury is empty, so they have to pay for it themselves!
Pay for it yourself!
My dear mother who has been dead for a hundred years.
The frog is going to die!
That's all coffin money, it's for retirement! Even the frog lady at the village entrance was reluctant to give it!
But this was the first time in the old toad's life that he was scolded by a junior. He was really embarrassed, so he gritted his teeth and stomped his claws.
"Give!"
Small demons won’t go ashore, and big demons won’t come ashore.
It is so precious that it can be brought ashore today.
All for the Frogs!
Make Frogs great again!
"You stay here, don't move, I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, the old toad jumped into the water with a splash, making a huge splash several feet high, and then disappeared into the pond.
Xiao Shunzi next door was counting the number of times he popped up, but suddenly he was drenched to the bone, and the candy in his hand was washed away by the water.
Upon hearing the sound, A-Di walked out from the inner room, glared at Xiao Shunzi, whose face was covered with a few pieces of duckweed, and picked up a broom.
The old toad left, and there was joy around the pond.
Wuhu!
There is fish to eat!
River otters and beavers hop around with their paws pulled.
They all received the news in advance, and they just needed to cooperate in the performance, and they would be able to share the benefits afterwards!
The old giant clam was also happy. Although he didn't do anything, he was entitled to a share. Liang Qu also promised to take a share for him.
The fat catfish is most proud of the business it negotiates!
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
The old toad swam from the underground river to the swamp, found the undercurrent channel, spun all the way back to the deep water area.
The toad dropped the anchor, and two green frogs gathered around him, croaking.
"Elder, elder, do the frog tribe really have a base on land?"
"Can I go to the base?"
The old toad didn't have time to answer the big and second fat frogs. He pointed at a bigger green frog and said, "Big Fatty, you swim faster. Take me home!"
"Ah, what are you going back for, Elder?"
"Go back and get the fish! Support the future of the Frog Tribe!"
Big Fat and Two Fat looked at each other in shock.
Damn, the old tree is blooming!
The elder is a rare treasure toad among the frog clan. He is born with a strong treasure-hunting ability and a long lifespan, but he is also notoriously stingy.
Except for pulling the king when he was a child, I have never seen him drop his purse on anyone!
Even the toad was quite surprised and didn't know how the fat catfish did it.
"What are you doing standing still?"
The old toad jumped onto Big Fatty's back, grabbed the green frog's head and pointed it into the distance.
"set off!"
"Elder, hold on tight!"
Dapang didn't dare to be stunned. He jumped hard, broke through the water flow and disappeared into the distance.
In less than twenty breaths, Big Fatty floated in the water with the elder on his back, and a dense group of caves appeared under him.
Just as it was about to land, it suddenly remembered something, swam out a short distance, and when its speed slowed down completely, it landed lightly, splashing up only a little dust.
It stood up proudly, waiting for the elders' praise, but what it got was a few slaps in the face!
"You are such a hopeless idiot, don't you know my family?!"
The old toad looked back and patted the big fat head hard, then jumped down and hurried back, without even responding to the call from the beautiful frog at the village entrance.
"Hey!"
Dapang collapsed to the ground.
Frog is tired.
At the entrance of the cave, the spreading vines automatically retracted. The old toad drilled in, and the view suddenly became clear.
The entire cave is well-planned, with vines emitting fluorescent light. It is much more beautiful than the toad's. It is divided into six floors, with a bedroom on the top floor and treasures underneath.
The fifth floor is filled with ancient wooden bookshelves, and the pages of the books inside are soaked in water without any deformation or wrinkling.
The old toad thought for a long time, jumped to the fourth floor, opened the door, and in the hollow room formed by vines, colorful treasure fish were swimming inside.
It frowned and looked left and right, comparing repeatedly, and took out the smallest one. It ran back to the first floor, turned out a pile of stones, gold and silver, broken armor, and took out something that looked like a turtle's back shell.
"Is this enough?"
The old toad asked and answered his own questions, nodding vigorously.
"enough!"
