Chapter 23 Croak! A Battle of Wits!
Yay!
The tree branch, imbued with internal energy, instantly magnified before Zhao Wu's eyes and rapidly appeared as a double image!
Fast, too fast!
How can a toad be so fast?!
Wait, a toad!?
Zhao Wu's mind went completely blank! How could it be a toad?!
This sense of absurdity even overshadowed the fear of danger.
?
A toad?
?
Has he not sobered up yet after taking too much Wushisan?
Pfft—!
The tiny, withered twigs precisely slipped into the gaps in the faceplate.
Zhao Wu's left eye suddenly went black, followed by a piercing pain. Blood mixed with shattered eyeball tissue instantly flowed down his helmet.
"ah!!!"
Zhao Wu let out a piercing scream, and his long sword suddenly veered off course, crashing heavily into the mud beside him.
Fang Yuan was not feeling well at this moment.
The tiny frog felt intense resistance in mid-air.
He was so light that he couldn't stay steady at all. The other person just flicked their head and he almost flew out!
quack!
Damn it...!
Is this the limitation of being a frog?
Moreover, they didn't kill the other party...
Trouble!
Although he possessed the internal energy infused by the [Frog's Roar Thunder Sound] and the power application skills of the [Tiger's Roar Blade Technique], the withered tree branch he held in his mouth as a sword was ultimately too short!
To humans, it is nothing more than a three-and-a-half-inch strip of wood.
Even if Fang Yuan used all his strength to pierce the opponent's eye socket, the short piece of wood could only shatter the eyeball; going any deeper...
The short twigs couldn't reach the brain at all!
Not to mention smashing the other person's brain!
hateful!
Losing just one eye is utterly insignificant to a fully armored, middle-aged bandit at the Inner Qi Realm!
"...Croak...!"
……
As the branch pierced his eyeball, Zhao Wu screamed in agony before finally realizing what had happened!
A frog!
That wretched frog! No, it shouldn't be called a frog! It should be called a damned stinking toad!
That damned, stinky toad that little girl was raising!!
"Aaaaaah!!" Enraged, Zhao Wu reached out and grabbed at Fang Yuan!
He was going to catch that toad and squeeze it until it peed!
But the toad suddenly flipped over, loosened its grip on the branch, and landed lightly on the ground, dodging the large hand!
Um! ?
……
Using the force of the recoil, Fang Yuan performed a light backflip in mid-air and landed back on the pile of decaying leaves.
At this moment, Nan Nan, who was sitting on the ground, was completely unable to speak.
What...what did she see!
It's Little Frog! Little Frog has come to save her!
It was Little Frog! Like a swordsman in a story, Little Frog flew over with a twig in its beak and blinded the villain!
"Well done, Little Frog!" she couldn't help but shout, and without hesitation, she grabbed a handful of dry branches and leaves from the ground and threw them straight at Zhao Wu!
That despicable villain!
Take this!
……
Lu Feng's mind went completely blank.
He had resigned himself to death, but the piercing scream forced him to look over.
What did he see?
Blood gushed from the iron helmet.
The small, green frog, no bigger than a palm, stood less than three feet away from Zhao Wu, staring coldly at him like a peerless master.
This……
How is that possible?
A frog?
How absurd!
Could he already be dead, already fallen into the underworld? Otherwise, how could he possibly witness such an absurd scene?
How could a frog possibly injure a human?
How could someone possibly be blinded by a frog piercing their eyes with a twig?
Even if the frog poisoned Zhao Wu to death, Lu Feng could barely accept it...
But a frog actually managed to injure an enemy that even he couldn't harm?!
This……
How is this possible?! How can anyone believe this?!
How could such an absurd thing happen in reality? It has no logic whatsoever, it's not realistic at all, and it's even more outrageous than those old-fashioned myths, legends, and tales of gods and monsters told by storytellers in taverns!
How is that possible... how could a frog possibly do something like that?!
Lu Feng coughed twice!
His eyes widened, and he couldn't help but reach out and slowly wipe his eyes...
Perhaps he was about to die, which is why he was having this hallucination.
……
Why should I?!
Why would a frog blind him?!
How is that possible?!
If I go back, how will my other companions laugh at me?!
He was blinded in one eye by a frog!?!?
Just thinking about it tells him that he'll never be able to live like this again! Wherever he goes, people will laugh at him, mock him, and ridicule him!
—Look, yes, that's the half-blind man. How did he go blind in one eye?
You'll never guess!
He was blinded by a frog!?
Ha...ha...ha?! By a frog?
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Or rather, a frog blinded him—a scenario that no one could possibly imagine, yet it happened to him!
This was enough to make him lose his mind!
"You beast!! You dead toad!! I'll chop you into mincemeat!!" Zhao Wu roared madly, his only eye bloodshot!
The excruciating pain in one eye and the humiliation of being toyed with caused him to completely lose his mind.
He didn't care about killing Nan Nan, nor did he care about the dirt and leaves that Nan Nan had thrown at him. He just pulled out the long knife from the ground and, with his other hand in a claw shape, frantically grabbed at Fang Yuan on the ground!
"Whoosh—ha!"
The longsword brought up a gust of evil wind. Although Zhao Wu had lost one eye, his senses as an Inner Qi Realm cultivator were still intact. His claw attack covered all of Fang Yuan's retreat routes.
Caw! ?
Want to arrest him?!
Fang Yuan snorted coldly.
Caw! How is that possible!
Your tricks are like slow motion to me! Don't you understand frog vision? I can see the path of a mosquito flying through the air with perfect clarity!
Now, you, a human of such a massive size, actually dare to think you can move faster than a mosquito?!
You want to arrest me?
dream!
Did I just waste all the extra points I gained from the [Thunderous Frog Croak] skill these past few days?!
brush!
Fang Yuan pushed off with both legs, and his figure transformed into a green shadow.
Swerve left!
The force of the iron claws almost grazed his stomach, but didn't even touch a single hair on his body.
Jump to the right!
Fang Yuan leaped lightly, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and actually jumped directly onto Zhao Wu's back armor.
Zhao Wu was so angry that he trembled all over and was about to slap his back.
But Fang Yuan's movements were even faster.
He used his webbed hands to scavenge the scales and darted around Zhao Wu's body at lightning speed!
Because of his extremely small size, Zhao Wu's wide-ranging attacks were almost full of openings for him, especially his back, which Zhao Wu could hardly reach!
It's already difficult for a person to touch their back, and now that Zhao Wu is fully armored, there's no way to reach his own back.
He could only accelerate and sway wildly, trying to shake Fang Yuan off!
but……
It's impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
How much can a frog weigh? Yet Fang Yuan's strength far exceeds his own weight! The enhancement from his internal energy, along with the physical attributes gained from the Tiger Roar Saber Technique and the Hu Family Fist Technique…
It's absolutely impossible for him to be thrown off!
Fang Yuan is still climbing!
The next moment, Fang Yuan, biting the second branch, climbed onto the other's shoulder. The first branch was still stuck in the other's eyeball through the gap in the mask! It hadn't even been pulled out yet!
Fang Yuan has come here for the second time!
He wanted to blind the other person's other eye as well!
"You dead toad! You don't actually think I can fall for the same trick twice, do you?!" Zhao Wu grinned maliciously, seemingly prepared, and reached out to intercept, trying to grab Fang Yuan!
quack!
dream!
Fang Yuan sneered. It was time to show his true skills!
quack!
The tongue can stir!
A war of words! — Frog version! Shoot!
……
It is well known that frogs use their tongues to eat, but few people realize just how powerful and fast a frog's tongue is.
When a frog extends its tongue, it can accelerate up to 12 times the acceleration of gravity (12G), reaching its peak speed in a very short time (such as 0.007 seconds). This high acceleration allows the tongue to generate a thrust equivalent to three times its own body weight to capture prey.
However, the numbers are somewhat difficult to understand. For example, 12G means that when an object is in motion, its speed increases at a rate 12 times that of free fall.
What does 12 times mean?
而以汽车举例，从0加速到100公里/小时的速度，普通油车大概是8-10秒左右，顶尖f1赛车是2~3秒，战斗机弹射起飞是2秒……
And the 12G tongue can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 0.23 seconds!
……
What does this mean?
This means that in the instant before Zhao Wu could even blink, in the instant his hand was halfway out, in the instant he was still grinning, everything seemed to slow down!
A tongue, like a red thread, carrying internal energy, pierced the air in an instant and struck Zhao Wu's other eye!
The mucus on the tongue, upon impact, acted like a hook, sticking to the eyeball, and then…
The pullback has begun!
The terrifying speed brought with it a terrifying pull; in an instant, it felt as if a 20-kilogram weight had been hooked onto Zhao Wu's eyeballs with an iron hook!
stab...
With a soft sound, an eyeball was pulled out, leaving a bright red bloodstain below it that looked like a crescent moon.
The high-speed impact and tearing instantly created a cloudy feeling on the surface of the eyeball, like frosted glass, and even the pupil began to deform, presenting an irregular radial shape.
!
! !
Total darkness.
What happened?
Zhao Wu was still confused, but his hand, which was trying to grab the toad, slammed hard into his own faceplate because of the sudden loss of vision!
Only now did the pain begin to travel from his eyes to his eye sockets!
He was completely blinded!
