92: Chapter 92 Even a toad can launch a sneak attack?
Deep in the grass at the edge of the temporary camp in the Mist Swamp.
This should have been a good place to relieve oneself, hidden and well-ventilated.
But right now, the atmosphere here was more intense than an execution ground.
Jiang You stood behind a dead tree, clutching that silver briefcase tightly to his chest, while having to undo his belt with one hand.
His movements were incredibly stiff, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.
And less than two meters behind him.
On the left stood Xiang Batian, his muscles tensed.
On the right stood Lu Xingye, his hand resting on the hilt of his blade.
These two were like a pair of door gods, their four eyes staring fixedly at Jiang You's... back, and that briefcase.
"Um..."
Jiang You finally couldn't take it anymore. He turned his head and looked at the two of them with an expression like he was constipated:
"I'm telling you, two big brothers."
"Can you guys... turn around?"
"Or back up ten meters?"
"If you stare at me like this, I... I can't pee! I have 'shy bladder syndrome'!"
Xiang Batian shook his head and refused with a serious face:
"No!"
"According to human psychology, when a person is excreting, their nervous system is most relaxed, and it is also when their defense is at its lowest!"
"Teacher Shen said we must protect you closely! Brother Jiang, feel free to pee; we aren't looking at you, we are only looking at the briefcase!"
Lu Xingye also snorted coldly, brushed his bangs, and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes:
"That's right. As a member of Class F, protecting you is my duty."
Jiang You: "..."
Despair.
He hugged the briefcase, his heart bleeding.
These two guys are like searchlights; if I dare to bury the briefcase, they will definitely dig it up immediately to present to Teacher Shen Qing for credit!
"What a disaster..."
Jiang You sighed and had no choice but to abandon the plan to bury the briefcase, preparing to get it over with quickly.
...
Just in the mud puddle not far from this awkward "threesome."
A black-backed toad with poisonous bumps all over its back was puffing out its cheeks, staring fixedly at the briefcase in Jiang You's arms.
"Hmph, Plum Blossom Three is too cowardly!"
"Saying Teacher Shen Qing is nearby and not daring to get close."
"That's because his skills aren't up to par! It's still up to me, Diamond Five!"
"My [Biological Possession] is a divine skill that can perfectly blend with animal auras! Never mind that she-devil Teacher Shen Qing, even if the principal of Magic City Martial Arts University came, he absolutely wouldn't be able to discover me!"
"As long as I'm fast enough, before he reacts, I'll snatch the briefcase and run! A toad running into a mud puddle with a briefcase, who could catch it?"
Diamond Five looked at Jiang You, who was struggling with his belt, and sneered inwardly:
"Full of openings from head to toe, he can't even detect a toad getting close!"
"The Grandmaster-level treasure in this briefcase belongs to me!"
Just as Jiang You had finished pulling up his pants and was about to turn and leave.
Diamond Five moved!
"Croak——!!"
That unremarkable black-backed toad kicked off with its hind legs, like a black cannonball leaving the barrel, heading straight for the briefcase in Jiang You's arms!
Extremely fast! Tricky angle!
"Situation!"
Although Lu Xingye and Xiang Batian were on alert, this toad appeared too suddenly, and the distance was too close; they couldn't react in time!
"Jiang You, watch out!"
Lu Xingye exclaimed.
However.
As the person involved, Jiang You didn't feel any killing intent at this moment.
He had just finished relieving himself, his mood was a little more relaxed, and he was just preparing to adjust the position of the briefcase in his arms to hold it in the other hand.
Just then.
He caught a glimpse of something dark and slimy, its big mouth open, pouncing towards him.
Jiang You's perspective:
"What the hell? What is that?"
"Such a big toad? And it's pouncing on me?"
"This is too disgusting! Don't get my clothes dirty!"
Jiang You instinctively felt a physiological aversion.
He subconsciously gripped the handle of the briefcase with both hands, exerted force from his waist, and as if holding a baseball bat, swung his arms fiercely at the black shadow flying towards him!
"Get lost!!"
[Internal Chat Group]:
[Right Hand (Excited)]:
"Oh ho? Baseball mode?"
"Good pitch! Watch me hit a home run!"
In reality.
"Whoosh——"
The silver briefcase left an afterimage in the air, stirring up a fierce wind.
Diamond Five, mid-air, watched the giant silver surface rapidly enlarge in his field of vision, a flash of astonishment in his eyes: "You f***ing... using a briefcase as a brick?"
But he was in mid-air, with nowhere to leverage.
The next second.
"Bang!!!"
A crisp, loud metallic clanging sound, like a gong being struck, echoed through the grass!
That poor toad was like a baseball being hit.
Its face was instantly flattened against the surface of the briefcase, its entire body pulled straight due to inertia.
Immediately after.
"Whoosh——————"
Diamond Five was sent flying out at three times the speed he came!
He drew a perfect parabola in the air, flew over the reed marsh, flew over the mud puddle, and finally turned into a star, disappearing into the depths of the mist.
Only a shrill scream remained in the air:
"Croak ahhhhhh————"
...
Jiang You retracted the briefcase, blew on the non-existent dust on it, and complained with a look of disgust:
"The mosquitoes in this place are really big."
"They fly like toads, and they even want to hit me?"
"Good thing I've practiced whack-a-mole."
Lu Xingye and Xiang Batian next to him were stunned again.
They watched Jiang You's smooth "strike" motion, and then looked at the direction where the toad disappeared.
Lu Xingye swallowed:
"Jiang You... that was a toad just now, right?"
"Where did you hit it with that briefcase? It looks like it flew a kilometer away?"
Jiang You waved his hand and hugged the briefcase back into his arms:
"Who cares, as long as it didn't get on me."
"Do animals not look where they're going these days?"
"Let's go, let's go back quickly. This place is too eerie; why does everything pounce on people?"
After speaking, he left the grass without looking back, just wanting to return to a crowded place quickly to protect his secret.
...
A few minutes later.
In a mud puddle a few hundred meters away.
"Gurgle..."
A string of bubbles emerged.
A toad with a crooked eye and mouth, half of its body swollen, crawled out of the mud with difficulty.
At this moment, Diamond Five felt as if his entire brain had been shaken into a smoothie.
"Ugh..."
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of muddy water; his original form was almost knocked out of the toad's body.
The air next to him distorted, and Plum Blossom Three appeared, looking at the wretched-looking Diamond Five in shock:
"Number Five! How did you end up like this?"
"That guy in pajamas... is he really that strong?"
Diamond Five shook his swollen head. Although he was grimacing in pain, his dignity as a villain meant he absolutely could not admit that he had been abused by a student.
He gritted his teeth and explained forcefully with an unconvinced face:
"Strong my ass!"
"Brother Three! This is purely an accident!"
"You know, this toad's body is too weak! It can't even exert one ten-thousandth of my strength!"
"Plus, when I jumped just now, my foot slipped, and I didn't adjust my posture!"
Diamond Five continued, feeling more and more right:
"If I had used my own body, even if I only used one-tenth of my strength, I could have pierced through his briefcase just now!"
Plum Blossom Three listened and nodded thoughtfully:
"So that's it."
"I was just saying, how could a student who hasn't even graduated react so quickly."
"It seems this kid just has a bit of strength and some good luck."
Diamond Five stared fiercely in the direction of the camp:
"That's right!"
"He got lucky this time!"
"When that Tier 5 Great Demon is awakened... heh heh! I will personally peel his skin off!"
"Brother Three, forget about him, let's hurry and get to business!"
"The sealing ground of that Phantom Demon Fox is right ahead!"
The two found an excuse for themselves, regained their confidence, and sneaked deeper into the swamp.
Little did they know, the "pajama rookie" in their eyes hadn't even used one ten-thousandth of his strength for that briefcase swing just now.
