Chapter 4, The Deity that Devours All

Xu Le paused slightly, greedy for all the offerings of the... ? ... deities

In the haze of his senses, Xu Le seemed to hear the performance of the grass stage opera troupe as they took the stage.

With the ideas organized up to this point, Xu Le basically understands what to do next

When Xu Le clearly saw the appearance of the person in front of him, he instinctively wanted to take a step back

He does not even know whether there are earthworms in this place

The current issue is that Xu Le does not know where the so-called tribute is located

However, the appearance of this fellow gradually stabilized Xu Le's senses

Two slender legs resembling chopsticks render its entire body appear discordant

Dong dong qiang, dong dong qiang, wa ya ya ya

The frog eats ghosts, it feels absurd just to think about it

In fact, it does not understand why Xu Le's offerings are different from others. The offerings it received in the past were generally meat, fruits, and paper money for pastries.

This is a huge, ugly... ? ... toad. ? Or is it the slender-legged variety

This statement is somewhat clever; Xu Le does not know what the frog desires. He merely stated that in addition to the usual offerings, he would also provide earthworms.

It has been actively reaching out to itself, offering conditional assistance to itself

Gazing at the curious toad before him, Xu Le inexplicably felt a sense of security

Xu Le looked at the other party, noting the significant disparity in their body sizes as well as the ferocity displayed by the frog when it killed the ghost.

The massive torso heaves as it chews, and from time to time, faint shrieks can be heard.

Regarding the question of what frogs like... How could an author suffering from severe literary pretentiousness possibly know what frogs like

The steel fork was suddenly thrown out

Panic made Xu Le feel particularly agitated, and the toad before him began to distort in his line of sight

Alright, so... can you give me your tribute now

In the enigmatic gaze of the small eyes, there is a hint of friendliness and anticipation

What do you mean by tribute?

The toad weighed the steel fork in its hand and muttered to itself

Ugh

This toad is actually a deity

After the resolution, I require ten earthworms as tribute

The area where it touched the skin felt somewhat slimy, which made Xu Le feel a bit nauseous

The toad may not resemble a human very much, but its mind is certainly not rigid

It is unknown whether the frogs here like earthworms or not

Xu Le immediately became serious

What do you mean by tribute

Is he really drowning

Are you unwilling to do so

The current issue is how to give it to the other party

The sensations around him transformed once again, a soft and moist feeling enveloping his entire body, a sensation that made Xu Le feel warm all over

The thing that the toad desires should be agreed to first; everything else is nonsense

If the toad had not been allowed to assist him, perhaps it would have suffocated and died just now

"Earthworm, esteemed Lord Jin Chan, please assist me in eliminating the ghost. In addition to the usual offerings, I shall additionally present you with earthworms."

"Lord Jin Chan, can you take it yourself?"

The solidified steel fork, however, is capable of piercing the body of a ghost

This person ... . ... No, it is not a person at all; its massive upper body resembles a swollen balloon.

Its right hand held a steel fork, and surprisingly, it had a cigarette dangling from its large, blood-filled mouth

Xu Le quickly covered his ears, but even with his ears covered, he still felt a wave of dizziness and disorientation

The creature known as the earthworm is likely favored by the frog

Xu Leqiang suppressed his discomfort and began to contemplate what to say next

Is that the final sentence? Is it really possible for you to give it to me?

Everything will be addressed once we have safely extricated ourselves from danger

If it were not for the ghostly half-head still hanging at the corner of its mouth, Xu Le would certainly think it was a benevolent deity

Alternatively, judging solely based on appearance, he had no room to resist his opponent at all

Whoosh! Ding!

How could something like an earthworm, which resides in the soil, possibly eat

Just when Xu Le thought the toad would refuse, the toad surprisingly nodded

The ghost emitted a series of howls, the piercing shrieks resembling waves of sonic attacks

It is extremely absurd for a frog to perform such an action

The ancient deity, Guo-Jin Chan, who embodies faith and consumes all offerings, is classified as a Level 3 ancient god

This is not the time for writing a short essay

The foul odor caused Xu Le to cover his mouth, but this noxious air also blew the ghost in front of him away

As Xu Le was entangled with the * picture * book, the monster before him had already furrowed its brows and repeated once more:

Indeed, it can truly be given to you

The hidden meaning of this sentence is that he truly possesses offerings, the offerings that the toad desperately desires to obtain

Therefore, regarding the matter of tributes, he is in absolute agreement.

As he spoke these words, he took a step closer to Xu Le

At this moment, the pressure instantly shifted to Xu Le's side

I was merely curious about Xu Leyan's confident demeanor

After receiving affirmation, the frog did not waste any words, turned its body, and exhaled a breath of murky air

He has never considered the value of the offerings; regardless of their worth, they can never be more valuable than his own life

The food that was just swallowed was also vomited out all at once

As Xu Le's voice faded away

Pulled down the steel fork along with the ghost on top of it

Soldier - Fight, Water Type - Fixed Spirit

I instinctively wanted to say a few words, but quickly held back

Certainly

Xu Le once saw a host feeding a toad with earthworms on a certain science popularization program, which is how this saying came about

The toad paid no attention to Xu Le's distress, and it strolled forward leisurely on its slender legs

Good

These sounds are truly discordant, and Xu Le is unsure whether it is his own illusion or if he has genuinely heard such sounds

After Xu Le agreed, the toad still did not move, but it twisted its body in front of Xu Le, mainly twisting its rear end

If a woman were to perform this action, it would naturally pose no issues

Then it was placed into his mouth, tearing and chewing at the same time

The person turned their head to look at him and asked in a gentle voice

Xu Le could not see the scene of it chewing, but the strange sound he heard basically dispelled any thought of taking a look.

And behind him was the wall, with no retreat possible.

Setting aside the small essays that were on the tip of his tongue, Xu Le carefully contemplated the reasons for the frog's appearance, as well as its earlier words

Is it true? Can you really give it to me?

Beneath the golden skin, there are numerous bulges, obscured by black patterns

With great effort, he opened his moist eyes. Although still somewhat blurred, he could roughly make out a very tall figure blocking his way.

The toad chewed for a while before slowly turning around to look at Xu Le

However, when this sensation flooded his nostrils, he suddenly covered his mouth!
