Chapter 706: Searching for Enemies in the Smoky Cave
The frogmen army swam towards the northeast with a loud noise. The Snow Country people's boat was towed by a dozen frogmen, and the speed was much faster than rowing with oars.
The further northeast we went, the thinner the hazy water vapor became, but the wind and waves became stronger and stronger.
Chu Xiaomu felt puzzled. The Yanshuiku area was close to the sea on the south side, and heading northeast was away from the sea. Logically, the wind and waves should be smaller than near the sea, so why did the wind and waves become stronger the further inland you went?
The frogmen swam for more than half an hour and came to a large rocky reef. Hu Yong finally arrived.
This area is mainly composed of reefs, and the water surface is much less than the rocky land. There are only some large and small puddles among the large reefs. It would be more appropriate to call it a stone island rather than a reef land.
The wind on the island was very strong, blowing on the face and hands like a knife. The waves around the island were like groups of monsters, fiercely hitting the rocks on the shore, and the rumbling sound was deafening, even normal speech was hard to hear.
Xiaoying had neither the original force nor the spiritual power, so she felt very uncomfortable. Chu Xiaomu suddenly remembered that his wood and earth spiritual power had been refined into the armor spiritual power with the help of Jinglan, so he applied a layer of it to Xiaoying.
This kind of spiritual power is very effective in resisting the damage of the Force or spiritual power, but it is not very useful in dealing with the invasion of wind and waves. Chu Xiaomu was helpless and thought that if he had known this would happen, he should not have brought Xiaoying here and let her suffer here.
Xiaoying was very sensible, not only did she not scold him, but she said softly: "Brother Xiaomu, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. Think of a good way to catch that Bai guy and beat him up to vent your anger!"
Chu Xiaomu nodded and thought to himself, my goal is to kill Bai Yixing, it's not as simple as just beating him up.
The frogmen passed through the wind and waves, jumping from the water onto the rocks one by one. Although they were of different heights, they were generally about the same height as ordinary people, except that they had long arms and legs. The body and head only accounted for about two-fifths of the height, and the long legs accounted for at least three-fifths.
Every seven or eight steps, they would lie prone on the ground, shorten their legs and push themselves up, then jump forward a dozen steps, not much different from frogs and toads. Their appearance was so weird and funny that people couldn't help laughing.
Especially when hundreds or even thousands of frogmen jumped together, the scene was so spectacular and bizarre that Chu Xiaomu had never dared to imagine it before.
The leader, the frog spirit, seemed to think that so many frogmen jumping around was not a good sight, so he croaked twice and said, "Stop!" The frogmen army immediately stopped moving. He said this clearly, and Chu Xiaomu and Xiaoying could understand it.
Several frogmen brought Hu Yong and three other Snow Country people up.
The frog spirit asked, "It's dark...there, let's go...over there."
Hu Yong said: "It's in front... the road is not easy to walk on..."
The frog spirit said, "That's in the way." This strange man rarely said something that was not contradictory.
Hu Yong had no choice but to walk in front to lead the way, with the frog spirit and eight other frogmen holding double-thorn monster forks following behind him.
The frogmen did not take the other two boatmen with them, and pinned them to the ground after they came out of the water. It seems that these strange-looking people are not too stupid, and they know how to take hostages as threats.
Chu Xiaomu led Cheng Huang and followed the others, while Xiao Ying sat comfortably on Cheng Huang's back, looking around, full of curiosity about this strange island reef.
There are no roads on the islands and reefs, and the rocks are jagged and bumpy, making it very difficult to walk. Often, after walking only a few feet on a flat road, you will encounter a large rock like a small hill or a deep and steep pit.
Hu Yong was short and fat, with short legs and feet. When climbing uphill, he would use his hands and feet together and slip three times in one step. When going downhill, he would often use his butt as a cushion and slide down. Fortunately, he had activated the Force, so these small difficulties could not stop him.
The frogmen's large webbed feet made it very difficult to walk on the uneven rocky ground. They could barely walk on the flat sections, but when they encountered uphill or downhill sections, they simply lay down and jumped, which was quick and convenient.
Chu Xiaomu had been used to walking on this kind of mountain road since he was a child, so it was no problem for him. Cheng Huang was walking on it as if it were flat ground, which made the frogmen dumbfounded.
The frogmen didn't care about the two men and the horse following behind them. They just pushed the frog spirit and occasionally looked back at them, puffing up its neck and making a strange "Gu Gua" sound, but no one knew what it meant.
The terrain became more and more bizarre as we walked along. The originally uneven rocks gradually became towering and steep.
After walking for a while, the rugged rocks spread out to both sides, and a winding stone road appeared in the middle. Although it was still bumpy, there were obvious signs of human carving and repair in many places, which seemed to indicate that there were people living there.
Chu Xiaomu frowned and thought, could it be that the person living in front was Ran Qingdeng, one of the three great men? How could he live in such a place?
While he was thinking, the frog spirit grabbed Hu Yong and asked in a strange voice, "Who is there... in front?"
Hu Yong replied: "The Snow Country people... have, but others... don't."
The frog spirit asked again: "Dulu... yes or no?"
Hu Yong didn't seem to know what "Dulu" was, and was a little confused. He just waved his hands and said, "Dulu, no... don't worry..." While speaking, he pressed his palm down from his chest, signaling the frogmen to rest assured.
However, the frog spirit didn't quite believe him and said, "Damn it... you're lying!" With a wave of his hand, two frogmen jumped over and grabbed Hu Yong again. The other six stretched out their double-spiked long forks, pointed at the vital points on his body, and let him escape.
Although Hu Yong had the Force, he didn't dare to move at all. Chu Xiaomu knew that his Force level was still very low, probably not even at the third level, and he was definitely not the opponent of this frogman spirit who could use spiritual arts to push huge waves several feet high.
Hu Yong looked at the strange double-thorn forks that were emitting a chill and was extremely frightened. He shouted loudly, "Dulu, no, there is really no Dulu... Dulu, what is that..." After shouting a few times, he realized that he had no idea what the "Dulu" that the frogman spirit was talking about was.
