Chapter 936: Giant crab

A little waterbird is just an appetizing dessert for a giant toad weighing more than 300 pounds.
During Joan’s observation, other giant toads also spit out their slender, flexible, and extremely sticky tongues at the right time, capturing any living creatures that dare to be close to themselves within fifteen feet. This includes both waterfowl flying in the air and close proximity. Swimming fish ventilating on the water.
call out!
The red light flashed and the water surface rippled.
A fat carp was rolled up by the giant toad with his tongue, and was instantly sucked into the mouth, and was swallowed after a few chews.
The giant toad, who had enjoyed the delicious meal, smacked his mouth with satisfaction, and made a torpedo-like toad, and the neck airbag swelled up.
Ted Pinkerton rubbed his ears that were hurt by Chan Ming, close to Joan, and asked in a low voice: "Dude, what does it mean that this group of big toads are in a circle here, is it a meeting, or is it going to be Hold a beauty contest?"
Joan was almost amused by Mr. Detective’s whimsy and replied with a smile: "Although the giant toad is much smarter than the ordinary toad, it is far from the level of understanding of "meeting" or "beauty contest", if I don't guess Wrong, they should be performing security tasks, and their masters may be hiding deep in the grass surrounded by giant toads."
"Master?" Ted Pinkerton immediately grabbed the key words in Joan's words. "You mean, this giant toad is a domesticated pet?"
"Accurately speaking, it is a domestic animal."
Joan made a further explanation.
"The relationship between the giant toad and the common toad is much farther than it seems on the surface. They are closer to the "magic beast" in the supernatural field than the animals in the natural world. Their intelligence has reached the level of domestic animals, so there is The possibility of domestication."
"Those who have lived in wetlands and have advanced intelligence and social anomaly supernatural humanoid creatures, such as mad frogmen and marsh toads, are very good at domesticating their huge distant relatives as servants."
"Crazy frogmen are very good at cultivating and domesticating ‘giant frogs’, while marsh toads are proficient in domesticating ‘giant toads,’ which is like our humanity in domesticating cattle, horses and hounds.

"Of course, it is difficult for us humans to communicate with domestic animals on a spiritual level, and the Numa Toad can communicate in depth with the'giant toad'. This may be due to the fact that they belong to the supernatural anuras and have a close relationship, so more It’s easy to understand each other’s minds."
Mr. Pinkerton nodded and looked at the thick reed-covered grass behind the giant toad.
"That is to say, in the reed swing 300 yards in front of us, an unknown number of marsh toads are lurking?"
"It's very possible." Joan first made a positive guess, and then added: "When the marsh toad people travel long distances, they will always bring a domesticated giant toad, and when they are tired, they ride on the back of the giant toad. So usually, a giant toad corresponds to a marsh toad."
Mr. Detective took the telescope he returned, and after a little observation, murmured: "There are twelve giant toads in our field of vision. According to your algorithm, there should be at least twelve marsh toads in the reed swing. People... this is not very easy to deal with!"
"Joan, is there a way for you to investigate the situation in the reeds more deeply?"
"I can give it a try."
Joan didn't say too much.
In fact, "detecting enemy conditions" is one of his best skills, there are too many spells to achieve this goal.
The first thing Joanne thought of was his "prosthetic eye" that integrated many prophetic spells.
He lightly touched his right eye to inspire 3 rings of "Eagle Eyes" and put an invisible "observation point" into the reeds, exactly in the center of the circle surrounded by twelve giant toads.
After completing the cast, Joan transferred his consciousness to the magic observation point.
After a moment of dizziness, Joan slowly opened his eyes and looked around alertly.
The surrounding scenes confirmed his prediction that a large group of half-human and half-toad monsters gathered in the reeds, a total of twelve.
These guys are all squatting in the puddles, and they look bloated and fat, but they are not short, and they will not stand up to six feet tall.
Compared with the illustrations Joan saw in the book, the real marsh toad gave him a stronger visual impact.
The figure of the marsh toad depicted in the illustration has a neck that is too short to be seen, and a pair of large raised eyes appear stupid, covered with scabies, and the texture is like a corpse soaked in water for half a month, giving people Puffy and clumsy impression.
In contrast to the live marsh toad people, Joan can't say that the illustrations are drawn differently, but he can't express the charm of marsh toad people.
Yes, the appearance of the marsh toads looks a bit stupid, but their eyes are firm and serious, and there are large and large muscles under the skin and surface fat, and they throw up their hands to exude a wild and aggressive style. Obviously all trained brave warriors, far from the image of the fat house depicted in the illustration.
Joan also noticed that the twelve marsh toads all wore sews made of animal skin. The fronts of the scapes were symmetrically inlaid with four rows of beige bones, which looked like horns.
These tough and elastic bone pieces greatly enhance the defense of the sleeveless leather armor and make the fragile abdomen of the marsh toad well protected.
The scene before him forced Joan to correct one of his prejudices.
The marsh toads are indeed not good at making ironware, but that is not all because their level of civilization is too low, and the main reason is probably limited by their habitat.
After all, the inconvenience of digging and smelting iron ore in wetlands makes it difficult to develop a corresponding steel civilization.
However, judging from the fine workmanship of the standard armor of the Marsh Toad Warrior, it is already close to the level of "inlaid leather armor" made by human craftsmen. It can be seen that they are no less than the level of human craftsmanship at least in the field of leather and bone products processing.
These ten marsh toad warriors, in addition to the inlaid leather armor worn on their bodies, obsidian spears behind them, and a weird weapon slanted around their waists, like a wooden handle that is four feet long, Install an irregular obsidian sphere with sharp corners.
Judged by the classification standards of human weapons, the unique weapon of the Numa Toad should be regarded as a "heavy mace", a ruthless guy specifically used to break armor!
The ten marsh toad warriors, like giant toads outside the grass, faced outwards in a circle and made a warning posture.
In the center of the crowd are two marsh toads who look a little special.
Among them, the older marsh toad was pale, sitting on a mound with a stick on his head, and another young marsh toad stood upright across from him, as if listening to the elder's teachings respectfully.
