Chapter 118: Legend of the River Swallowing the Frog

It is said that every belly of the River Swallowing Toad carries a river.

Fang Yuan had not used the River Swallowing Toad in his previous life, but he had a strong impression of this Gu, because of one person.

Ordinary man, family servant.

About two hundred years later in his previous life, a very special Master Gu would appear— Jiang Fan.

His existence shocked many Master Gu, and his story would be spread by humans.

Once he appeared, he became a legend.

His entire success was attributed to the River Swallowing Toad.

Jiang Fan was just a family servant, single-handedly taking care of the fishery for his master. One day, the River Swallowing Toad arrived at the beach with its stomach facing upwards, lying in the water, asleep the entire time.

Jiang Fan was initially scared and startled, but slowly, he felt that this frog was dead, why not move at all?

“Frog”'s corpse blocks the flow of river water, and this causes a lot of problems for Jiang Fan who takes care of fisheries.

Jiang Fan tried various methods and ways to move this "frog corpse. But he was just an ordinary human, how could he move something as heavy as a Frog Swallowing the River?

His master was stingy and ruthless, and if he could not meet the monthly quota, his head would be decapitated. Jiang Fan did not dare to report it, because someone not long ago did not meet his quota and report it with proper reasons, but ended up getting killed on the spot.

Looking at the approaching due date, and the lingering corpse blocking the water, it greatly affected his income. Slowly, Jiang Fan became more frightened, and his emotions became more violent and frustrated.

Even though he knew that he could not move this corpse, he would still do it every day, to punch and kick the "corpse frog", crying and making a fuss. Let go of all the fear and anger he had in the face of death.

But one day, the Frog Swallowing River woke up, and with half-opened eyes, looked at Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan's legs became soft with shock.

The River Swallowing Toad was half asleep and half awake, but still lying there like a "corpse". After some time, Jiang Fan regained his composure.

He was not afraid, he was going to die, what was there to fear?

He climbed to the top of the belly of the River Swallowing Toad, and lay face down. Staring into the sky, “Katak, oh frog. You are the same as me, with only one last breath left inside you, you will die too huh? ”

He did not know about the characteristics of the Swallowing River Toad. Seeing his half-dead state, he thought that it would die. After saying that, Jiang Fan's face was flooded with tears.

The River Swallowing Toad narrowed his eyes, listening to Jiang Fan's words as he looked up at the sky.

For the next few days, he continued to lie on the white and tender stomach of the River Swallowing Toad, crying while talking, complaining about the pain and feeling of human distress.

Finally, the deadline has arrived. The responsible person descends from the village to the fishery to collect the fish.

Where could Jiang Fan find fish to meet the quota? Having no choice, he could only give an excuse that he needed to pack up, and ran into the River Swallowing Frog to say goodbye.

He patted the belly of River Swallowing Toad, “Old frog, to think that I would die first. It must be the affinity that makes me know you. I'm hoping that in your remaining days, you'll have a better life.”

At this moment, the River Swallowing Toad began to move.

Jiang Fan was surprised. Seeing the actions of the River Swallowing Toad becoming bigger, he quickly jumped up.

Plash!

The River Swallowing Toad turned around, with its stomach facing down and its back facing up. It was fully awake.

Jiang Fan's body was drenched, and after seeing this scene he became angry and stomped his feet, “Old frog, oh old frog, so you can still move? Ahhhh, you have caused my death, if you moved a few days ago, I will not die!”

The River Swallowing Toad ignored his words, he had just woken up and was feeling hungry.

Half of his body was submerged in water as he opened his mouth, starting to suck up the river water to satisfy his hunger.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan was dumbfounded. He was surprised to see that the surface of the water was receding, descending at an observable speed, falling rapidly.

A large amount of river water was swallowed into the stomach of the frog, but its stomach did not enlarge in the slightest, almost like a bottomless pit.

A moment later, the River Swallowing Toad stopped eating. The river water had already descended to an extreme level, and the bedrock was open. If one stood in the river, the water would only reach the knees.

Jiang Fan stood on the beach, at a loss for words.

The River Swallowing Toad glanced at him and suddenly burped. His stomach expanded and shriveled, his mouth wide open and spewing out a lot of seafood.

Fish, shrimp, turtles, crabs, snails, eels, everything!

The River Swallowing Toad only ate water as its food, but did not consume this seafood, thus spewing out everything.

At this point, it looks like it's raining seafood.

In the blink of an eye, the seafood gathered into a mountain, and Jiang Fan upon seeing this, was overjoyed. He shouted loudly, “I am safe, I am safe! This seafood was enough for me to share for three months. Old frog, oh old frog, this is all thanks to you!”

He packed up the seafood, and quickly handed it over to the person in charge.

The person in charge was surprised and suspicious, how could there be so many? He quickly reported it, and Master Gu in the village also discovered that the water level had changed drastically.

After investigating, they learned of the existence of the River Swallowing Toad.

It was a rank five Gu!

The village became panicked and they formed a large group, trying to repel the Swallowing River Frog.

Jiang Fan did not want the River Swallowing Toad to be harmed; today he had treated the River Swallowing Toad as his only friend.

But at this moment, the River Swallowing Toad arrived.

No one knew whether he had treated Jiang Fan as his friend, or felt that being with Jiang Fan was attractive and could cure boredom.

The point is, it attacks.

It carried Jiang Fan and spewed out streams of river water that engulfed the entire village and submerged half a hill.

This battle shocked the entire southern continent!

After which, Jiang Fan's name spread to the entire hundred thousand mountains. With the River Swallowing Toad staying by his side, it meant that he had a rank five Gu worm!

After all, even a rank five Master Gu, might not have a rank five Gu worm.

Rank five Master Gu was rare, even in the history of the Gu Yue clan, there were only two — first generation clan leaders and fourth generation clan leaders.

But he Jiang Fan did not have any awakened openings, yet as an ordinary human he had a Frog Swallowing the River.

His existence shocked the entire world of Master Gu.

After that, Jiang Fan built a hamlet on the site of the village. He loved people and sympathized with humans, aspiring to achieve equality among all people. It was a village without oppression.

He became the flag, and the humans in the surrounding villages came to him and wanted to depend on him.

But in the end, he was still killed.

Just with the Frog Swallowing the River, it could not make it truly powerful. After all, he was not a Master Gu, and after his death, the River Swallowing Toad left.

Gu Masters razed his hamlets to the ground, and slaughtered the humans who dared to oppose them.

With his mortal self, Jiang Fan challenged the entire system of society, and it infuriated the Gu Masters.

"I wonder if Jiang Fan will still appear this time after my influence." After his memories, Fang Yuan laughed.

But Chi Shan could not laugh.

His face was grim when he returned.

The villagers at the foot of the mountain were waiting for Master Gu to deal with this matter.

But the great Gu Yue Chi Shan arrived and still could not solve the problem. This caused the villagers to panic, and the panic spread and reached a high point.

They dragged their families, carried large and small bags, and rushed to the village. They naturally did not dare to enter, so more and more villagers were kneeling outside the village door, pleading with Master Gu to be merciful and let them in.

The Hall.

"What's? These lowly commoners dared to besiege the main gate. Terrible, they're getting bolder, kill, kill them all!” The clan elder of the punishment hall shouted.

Gu Yue Yao Ji's face from the treatment hall was also grim, "Although these lowly commoners deserved to die, killing a few was enough to threaten the others and drive the group away, but it would be a joke to be observed by the other villages."

Gu Yue Chi Lian said, “What matters now is not this. If even Chi Shan cannot awaken this River Swallowing Toad, who else in our clan can? Looks like we should get reinforcements, the Xiong clan specializes in strength. ” He sighed and continued, “For the safety of the clan, we must make them do so. Even if we have to pay the price, it's worth it.”

These words had the approval of the other clan elders, and even the leader of the Gu Yue Bo clan was moved.

"Clan leaders and other clan elders, this junior has something to report." Gu Yue Chi Shan had been standing in the hall, listening to the clan elders, but he suddenly bowed and said speaking.

Gu Yue Bo nodded, she had an appreciative attitude towards Gu Yue Chi Shan, "Chi Shan, if you have an idea, you might as well say it."

Chi Shan instead asked, "Elder, in order to push this River Swallowing Toad, does it really require the strength of a single person?"

Gu Yue Bo said, “According to the words of the previous clan leader, The Frog Swallowing River has a gentle temperament and likes to sleep. Even if it was awakened by someone pushing it, it would not go berserk. So, we ask you who has the greatest power in the village to wake him up. But it ended in failure.”

Chi Shan said, “Then can the clan leader give me the Brute Force Longhorn Beetle Gu? With the strength of one bull and my innate strength, I will be able to push this River Swallowing Toad up.”

"You definitely can't use the power of the Gu worm." Just when Chi Shan finished speaking, a clan elder refused his request, “Aura worm Gu would invite the vigilance of the Toad Swallowing the River. If this made him feel threatened and raging, who would face the consequences?”

"That's right." Gu Yue Bo nodded, “By using the Gu worm, even if we wake the frog, we cannot get its approval. It should be one person, use his own strength to wake him up and get his approval.”

Gu is a spirit of heaven and earth, but he behaves more like a beast. A savage beast had its own territory, and a savage beast that roamed when facing the king of a territory, would fight. The victor takes territory and the loser roams.

The formation of the beast wave was also based on the instincts of these ferocious beasts. A powerful group of beasts would invade and conquer the neighboring lands. The weaker groups would be exiled and this formed a beast wave.

In order to repel the River Swallowing Toad, they had to adhere to his habits.

The River Swallowing Toad had a gentle temperament, did not enjoy conflict, and as long as the "beast king" of the territory could be recognized, it would leave.

Thus, using the Gu worm was a no-no, the aura of the Gu worm would be sensed and cause the Toad Swallowing the River to take unexpected action. Using everyone's strength was also impossible. So many people, even if moved, the frog would not leave.

It was because everyone who acted together was unfair, and would not be recognized by him.

So, the clan leader told Chi Shan to come forward, because he had the greatest strength in the village.

"So then, I get it." Chi Shan finally understood the situation, he cupped his fists, "Then, I will recommend someone to the clan elder, he has greater strength than me."

“Oh, who?”

"There are people like that, why don't we know?"

"Chi Shan, don't make us wait, quickly say!"

"This person, is Gu Yue Fang Yuan." Chi Shan mentioned a name.
