Chapter 181: Poison Frog Beast
Su Zhan silently observed the mist from the rooftop.
The thick fog churned violently.
The first thing to emerge from the mist was a massive, pale, severely bloated giant claw.
The claw had five twisted, mutated fingers with blackish-yellow distorted hook-like nails growing from the fingertips.
Immediately after, its main body revealed itself.
It was a bloated humanoid form crawling on the ground.
But with extremely bizarre proportions.
Its limbs were so short and stubby they almost seemed retracted into its obese body.
It possessed an unusually developed pair of pale giant claws, nearly as long as its body, which supported its forward movement.
Its entire body was covered with swollen blisters, densely packed and utterly disgusting.It had no distinct head, only a massive, horizontally spanning fissure where the head should be on the upper torso.
When that fissure opened, it revealed densely packed, layered, constantly wriggling pale yellow sharp teeth.
In the center was a single huge, turbid eye.
Coldly scanning the panicking prey without any emotion.
Su Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Mist creature, Poison Frog Beast.
As the name suggested, it resembled toads from Blue Star.
Covered in poisonous blisters, the horizontal fissure across its body contained a long, flexible tongue similar to a toad's.
The tongue had barbs.
It could quickly coil prey into its mouth.
However, this mist creature's limbs had degenerated.
Unlike toads that jump.
It relied on that pair of giant claws to crawl.
Su Zhan crouched at the rooftop edge, his cold gaze sweeping across the mist-shrouded streets below.
The appearance of one Poison Frog Beast had already triggered extreme panic, but this was only the beginning.
The thick fog surged violently as if boiling.
Then the second, the third... the tenth...
Over twenty Poison Frog Beasts of varying forms but equally ferocious and terrifying crawled out one after another from the gray-white mist wall!
Their bloated, pale bodies crowded the streets.
The poison sacs covering their bodies trembled slightly with movement, as if ready to burst at any moment and spray lethal venom.
The horizontal fissures on their torsons opened one after another.
Revealing layered sharp teeth.
And the cold, merciless single eye in the center.
Greedily locking onto the screaming, fleeing food.
The slaughter began instantly!
"Ahhhh—! Don't come near me!"
A man dressed in waiter's clothing tried to hide behind an overturned trash bin.
"Thwip!"
A barbed long tongue shot out from the mouth of the nearest Poison Frog Beast, instantly coiling around the man's waist.
The barbs deeply embedded into his flesh.
He was violently yanked back by tremendous force!
"Crunch... squelch..."
"Monsters! So many monsters!" "Run!"
The crowd completely broke down.
People crashed around like headless flies, making themselves easier targets instead.
Another long tongue lightning-fast coiled around a running woman's ankle, easily dragging her down, then quickly pulling her toward the drooling giant mouth.
Another Poison Frog Beast directly smashed down with its huge claw, crushing a man hiding behind a car into pulp along with the vehicle.
"Mommy! Mommy!"
A little girl stood crying in place.
A Poison Frog Beast's single eye turned toward her, its long tongue shooting out again.
At that moment.
A man who seemed to be her father suddenly lunged over, pushing the girl away, but getting his arm caught by the long tongue instead.
"Run! Nannan, run!"
The man screamed desperately.
His other hand clawed desperately at the ground, fingernails tearing and bleeding.
But he couldn't resist the terrifying force at all.
The long tongue suddenly tightened!
"Ah—!"
The man's arm was brutally severed, blood spraying wildly as he screamed and rolled on the ground, only to be caught by another attacking long tongue that coiled around his head the next moment...
Su Zhan heard it.
The screams.
The chewing sounds.
The bone-crunching noises.
The sizzling of venom corrosion.
The slimy sounds of the Poison Frog Beasts' slippery bodies moving.
Su Zhan saw it.
Blood staining the streets red.
Severed limbs and remains scattered everywhere.
Su Zhan watched all this coldly from the rooftop, no expression on his face.
He was only coldly analyzing the combat capabilities of the mist creatures.
And their numbers, distribution, attack patterns, and possible weaknesses.
...
Behind a concealed second-floor window not far from the bloody street.
Two figures seemed to melt into the shadows, coldly watching the slaughter by the Poison Frog Beast horde below.
They were precisely Skinny Monkey and Iron Wall.
Skinny Monkey lived up to his name, as thin as a bamboo pole with unusually slender fingers.
Iron Wall was burly and covered with a layer of hard carapace.
The frenzied Poison Frog Beasts around seemed to completely ignore their existence.
Occasionally, Poison Frog Beasts crawled past the building where they were hiding, but only gave a indifferent glance with their turbid single eyes before continuing to pounce on other screaming prey.
As the summoners of this mist event.
They seemed to carry some aura that made these mist creatures regard them as "kin" or "non-targets."
"Pah! That gambling addict Wang Peng! Completely unreliable as expected!"
Skinny Monkey's chewing made his words unclear: "How long was he out? Already got spotted, scared shitless, wanting to sell us out to save his miserable life!"
"Knew all along that bastard couldn't control his hands and foul mouth! When his gambling addiction hits, he forgets even his own surname!"
Iron Wall snorted coldly, gnawing on a bone: "Lucky you were cautious enough, Brother Monkey, noticing he hadn't sent signals for so long and came to check immediately, otherwise... we'd be sold out without knowing!"
He viciously threw the cleanly gnawed bone out the window.
It hit a blister on a Poison Frog Beast.
The monster just shook sluggishly and continued chasing other prey.
"Anyone who betrays the organization deserves death."
Skinny Monkey sneered, bloodstains still at the corner of his mouth: "After the mist descended, that person didn't spare him, good, saves us the trouble of cleaning house, wasting effort, just a pity... we lost someone who could go out to gather information."
Some time later.
Skinny Monkey squinted his eyes, scanning the street below where the slaughter was gradually concluding:
"That Awakened individual dressed like a glow stick in green clothes? Where's he hiding? Even that useless Wang Peng got chopped up by him, now these two-legged sheep are almost all eaten up, and he still won't show himself?"
Iron Wall agreed in a muffled voice, full of mockery: "Scared? Must be scared! Knowing we're waiting for him, he chickened out, only dares to hide in the dark watching these ordinary people die out!"
"Pah!"
Skinny Monkey spat downward: "And he calls himself an Awakened? Doesn't have any of an Awakened's responsibility! Usually aren't they all boasting about being superior, wanting to protect the weak?
Now look, to save his own miserable life, watching so many ordinary people get torn apart by monsters, chewed up, doesn't even dare to fart! Really fucking disgrace to Awakened individuals!"
"Exactly! Morals? Responsibility? I don't think he has any at all! These ordinary people's lives in his eyes are probably no different from weeds by the roadside, better off dead, less trouble for him."
Iron Wall let out a dull laugh of derision: "This kind of cold-blooded, selfish piece of trash deserves to be called an Awakened? I spit! Simply tarnishing the name!"
