Chapter 161 The Giant Frog That Appeared "Unexpectedly"
On the way to Stardew Town, Lynn walked ahead with steady steps.
He deliberately chose a route that might offer more "opportunities".
Vivian and Lydia followed behind him, initially a little nervous and reserved, but they were quickly influenced by Lynn's casual recounting of tribal experiences, forest survival skills, and his calm and unhurried demeanor, and gradually relaxed.
In particular, Lynn always managed to find some harmless but interesting little animals or edible wild fruits in advance and share them with the two princesses, which made the two princesses feel both novel and at ease as they ventured into the forest for the first time.
"Uncle Baki, you know so much!" Vivian munched on a sweet and sour berry that Lynn handed her, her deep blue cat eyes full of admiration, and her previous arrogance seemed to have dissipated considerably.
"It's much more useful than... much more useful than all the boring stuff we learned at home!"
Lydia nodded repeatedly, her fluffy tail swaying gently involuntarily, showing her owner's good mood.
Lynn smiled, his wolf ears twitching. "It's just some experience from being out in the world for so long."
"The forest is generous, but it is also dangerous. The more you know, the better your chances of survival."
As he spoke, he secretly adjusted his direction of travel.
In his perception, several "corrosive giant frogs," known for secreting highly corrosive mucus, were active in the swamp area not far ahead.
These advanced monsters aren't top-tier in individual combat, but their slime attacks have a corrosive effect that doesn't harm the flesh, but is disastrous for clothing.
Moreover, they usually lie in ambush near the water, attacking prey that carelessly approach.
Yes, the location is just right.
He glanced at the two girls behind him, who, although dressed in adventure attire, were made of obviously very nice fabric.
"Let's go around this way a little," Lynn said, pointing to a path leading to a seemingly calm but actually slightly damp forest trail.
"The woods over there are denser, and they might contain some rare medicinal herbs."
"Okay!" Vivian and Lydia agreed without suspicion.
In their eyes, this "Baki Uncle" is powerful and reliable, and listening to him is definitely the right thing to do.
The three gradually approached the edge of the swamp.
The air grew moist, carrying a faint scent of decaying plants and earth. Lynn's ears caught the faint bubbling of bubbles in the distant swamp and the rustling of some slippery creature moving about.
The time is almost right.
He suddenly stopped, listening intently, his brows furrowed, his amber eyes gazing into the depths of the swamp.
"What's wrong, Uncle Baki?" Vivian asked curiously.
"There seems to be some unusual noise over there," Lynn said in a low voice, his expression grave.
"This might be a big one."
"Wait here for me, stay alert, and don't wander off."
"I'll go check it out first, and we'll go over when we're sure it's safe."
"Oh? Uncle, you're going by yourself? Won't it be dangerous?" Lydia asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'll just take a look from a distance and won't get close. I'll come back immediately if anything happens." Lynn gave them a reassuring smile. "Remember, don't move around, just wait for me here."
After saying that, he swayed and nimbly disappeared into the bushes beside him, vanishing from Vivian and Lydia's sight in a few leaps.
The two princesses obediently remained where they were, leaning against a large tree, gripping their weapons nervously, and cautiously observing their surroundings.
However, they didn't notice that the ground beneath their feet trembled slightly, and from the nearby swamp, several pairs of large, yellow eyes slowly opened, locking onto the two prey that exuded freshness.
Lynn hadn't actually gone far; he was hiding in the canopy of a tree on a high ground with an excellent view, using the branches and leaves as cover to observe what was below.
"thump!"
"thump!"
As the mud churned, three giant, corrosive frogs, each the size of a calf and with dark green skin, leaped out of the swamp and pounced on Vivian and Lydia in a fan shape!
"Aaaaaah!! What is that?!"
Vivian gasped and instinctively swung her sword at the nearest one.
Lydia screamed and tried to cast a spell, disguised as a dog-orc warrior.
In his haste, he almost used human water magic, but managed to hold it in and switched to a short sword.
The Corrosive Giant Frog's attack methods are simple and brutal—spraying slime and ramming its body.
"Pfft!"
The first giant frog opened its mouth and shot out a jet of dark green, slimy water that emitted a pungent, sour smell, straight at Vivian's face!
Vivian awkwardly dodged to the side, the slime grazing her shoulder and splashing onto the tree trunk behind her.
"Watch out! There's something wrong with that slime!" Lydia shouted.
But it was too late.
Two other giant frogs joined the attack, spraying mucus over a wide area.
Vivian and Lydia tried their best to dodge and block, but the slime was too dense and the splash area was too large.
"Sizzle—"
Vivian couldn't dodge in time, and a drop of splattered sticky liquid got on her arm.
The top she was wearing melted quickly, like thin ice exposed to a raging fire, tearing open a large hole and revealing her fair and delicate skin underneath, with even a wisp of smoke rising from it!
"Ah! My clothes!" Vivian was both embarrassed and surprised.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
More slime came and landed on their clothes, including Vivian's top and skirt.
Lydia's adventure vest and trousers were being corroded, pierced, and disintegrated at an alarming rate!
"don't want--!!"
“Help!!”
In just a few breaths, the clothes on the two princesses were riddled with holes by the corrosive slime, and then tore and fell off piece by piece!
In an instant, they were almost naked, exposed to the damp air of the forest, with only a few tattered pieces of cloth barely covering their most private parts.
Fair, jade-like skin; graceful, undulating curves; long, straight, beautiful legs…
At a glance.
Overwhelmed by immense shame and fear.
"Ah!"
They instinctively crossed their arms over their chests, crouched down, and tried to cover themselves, letting out desperate and shameful screams, tears streaming down their faces.
Those three giant corrosive frogs had no concept of chivalry; seeing their prey rendered helpless, they croaked excitedly.
It opens its mouth wide, ready to enjoy its "delicious meal".
At this most critical and shameful moment—
"You beast! You're asking for death!"
A cold shout filled with anger exploded like a thunderclap!
A silver-gray figure descended from the sky like lightning tearing through space!
The flash of a blade is faster than the sound of a voice!
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Three cold arcs of light flashed across the short, thick necks of the three corrosive giant frogs almost simultaneously!
Before the filthy green blood could even spurt out, three ugly heads flew up with expressions of astonishment!
Its massive body crashed to the ground, sending mud flying everywhere.
