Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 360: Plundering through the island Part2

"Here we go." Tang Yue shouted and clutched the soul sword tightly. 

She only maintained a defensive position, having no intention of taking the initiative to fight against these frogs.

And it looked like, that was indeed the best strategy for her at the moment because the frogs had completely ignored the titan ape and their thick fleshy tongue rods were aimed at her rather than the ape.

"Did they already figure out that the ape is under my control?" Tang Yue hissed in shock. 

She skillfully moved and maneuvered, narrowly dodging the tongues every time. The attack pattern of the frogs was very readable but they also seemed to be learning her movements just as quickly.

They clearly intended to pull Tang Yue towards them using their tongue as a weapon and their mouth probably had some sort of paralytic poison.

So once Tang Yue was caught by the tongue, she would be instantly rolled to their big mouth and it would be game over.

"Monkey, don't just stand around simply watching, you idiot." Tang Yue screamed in between her pants. "Catch the tongues and squish the frogs quick."

This was the problem with enslaved beasts. She had to give the beast commands word for word.

As soon she shouted at the ape, it then immediately leaped into action and started trying to grab the tongues lashing at Tang Yue.

But the very next second, the frogs quickly pulled back their tongues, and a loud brain-shattering noise echoed in succession.

CROAK CROAK CROAK

Tang Yue's head vibrated, her eardrums unable to bear the rumbling noises. Their shouts had some sort of disorienting effects.

Previously, the single frog that had wandered into the chasm was defeated in the span of a second because it only saw Tang Yue and was caught off guard by the titan ape.

But these two frogs currently attacking her could clearly see the entire picture and were not as easily tricked.

They retreated their tongues as soon as they saw the titan ape jumping into action and started croaking loudly.

Tang Yue tried to stabilize herself and flushed her body with another wave of mana clearing any hidden mental attacks in the croaks.

While the titan ape growled in pain, her vision quickly cleared and she could immediately see what was happening.

Just like how she had targeted the ape with mental attacks, the frogs did the same and they also had attacked the beast and herself with a sort of disorienting mental attack.

Seeing that the ape was momentarily incapacitated, the frogs again started attacking Tang Yue, lashing at her with their tongues.

"Fuck!" Tang Yue shouted and once again started dodging. 

What cunning and vicious creatures! She was amazed. These frogs were different from any other beasts she had faced until now and were extremely intelligent.

Tang Yue decidedly kept an eye on them for additional parlor tricks as she evaded their attacks.

While these two frogs completely focused on her and attacked her with their full concentration, the surrounding slurry waters of the marsh suddenly started moving in big waves.

Fuck! Tang Yue had a bad premonition. In particular, the magnitude of the waves was troubling her.

And just as she feared, the waves suddenly stopped and three more bulges arose from the marsh waters.

A total of five big green frogs stared at her, completely encircling her. Tang Yue did not panic and calmed herself down.

She knew that she was in a very precarious situation now and the others standing around her couldn't really come to the rescue.

The ape, as well, was still wobbling around, fully disoriented.

Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. Tang Yue hissed. 

Back in the ocean, she could only barely deal with one frog and now there were five frogs waiting to decimate her.

Her brain spun thinking of various possibilities but she couldn't come up with any solution at all.

She couldn't see a shortcut through this big mess. It looked like she had no other option but to fight her way out of this clutch point.

Tang Yue did not hesitate and quickly cast an invisibility spell on herself. She tried to use stealth to give her an advantage over their numbers.

But the frogs had already prepared a counter for this move and readily pulled their heads back, all five reacting the same way.

Then they sucked in a huge breath of air, all five of their cheeks puffing up to twice the size of their body, and released their breath in sync, all five of them at the same time.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! FWOOSH! WHOOSH! FWHOOSH!

Five bursts of thick poisonous miasma hit Tang Yue who had only slightly moved from her center position after casting the invisibility spell.

Her movement speed was greatly reduced in the slurry marsh and if she made huge movements, then her invisibility spell would be broken and her figure would be revealed.

So she did not manage to get out of the encirclement when the frogs blew the thick poisonous miasma at her. She was still locked in.

With such strong bursts of poisonous gas blowing at her forcefully, Tang Yue stumbled, barely holding on.

Ding. Poison Resistance has been upgraded

Ding. Poison Resistance has been upgraded

Ding. Poison Resistance has been upgraded

Notifications continually rolled into her ears, but her condition was worsening with every passing second.

The strong poison was choking and suffocating her. She could barely think straight.

Meanwhile, the frogs did not remain still and started madly lashing their tongues out, trying to forcefully reveal her presence.

It was only a matter of seconds before Tang Yue was completely found out and then her body would be crushed into a meat paste.

She weakly blinked her eyes and glanced at the ape, which had now fallen down, after inhaling copious amounts of the poisonous miasma.

Her other companions including Little Plum, Little Blue, Eleana, and Jin Wei were also helpless. 

In fact, they didn't even know that Tang Yue was suffering and need their assistance.

At this point, they couldn't even see what was happening beyond the purple-colored poisonous mist that crawled around the entirety of the swamp.
