When it seemed as though there was no way that Wang Yu could avoid being swallowed, the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s tongue shot out again. Wang Yu immediately reacted; his weapon changed into a pole and he held it in front of himself vertically. The Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s tongue struck onto the pole and wrapped around it.
Wang Yu’s pole was a little more than 2 meters long and the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s mouth was only 2 meters wide at its biggest… As the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s tongue retracted with the pole and Wang Yu, the pole was stuck at the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s mouth.
Using this opportunity, Wang Yu hurriedly changed his weapon from the pole weapon to his fist weapon. At the same time, he stepped down on the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s lower jaw and sprang backwards, easily jumping away from the Frog Emperor’s mouth.
By the time the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor reacted, Wang Yu was already right below its head.
At this time, Wang Yu didn’t dare to make a move because if he moved, this huge frog would definitely dive back into the swamp. It was already a miracle that he could escape from this frog’s mouth. Wang Yu didn’t dare to assume that this fella would try to use its tongue every time it attacked him.
“Help!” Wang Yu shouted at Red Spiderlily.
“How do I help?” Red Spiderlily was also flustered. If she was dealing against a regular Poison Arrow Frog, then things would be easy. Her freezing effects would take place with 100% accuracy. However, this Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s control resistance was so high. Just now, with more than 10 Magicians, the Feng Yun Guild only managed to freeze it once. She, alone, was not enough to help. What if she gets swallowed….
As she thought of this, Red Spiderlily’s entire body shuddered and goosebumps started to appear.
Wang Yu shouted, “Use your magic on the surface of the water.”
“Surface of the water?”
“Right! Attack at the part right below the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor.” Wang Yu pointed below the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor.
“Ok!” Red Spiderlily replied through gritted teeth and threw out an Icicle skill. It managed to land exactly on the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s leg.
The Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s mouth widened and its tongue flicked towards Red Spiderlily.
Wang Yu jolted. He retrieved a bottle of wine and casually threw it on the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s tongue. When the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s tongue made contact with the wine flask, it retracted back with a ‘Shua’.
During his previous exchanges, Wang Yu came to learn that the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s tongue attack was a non-target-type skill. As long as it made contact with something, it would immediately retract.
Successfully, defending against the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s attack, Wang Yu wiped the sweat off his face, “Use Ice Mirror, not Icicle!”
“Oh…” Red Spiderlily nodded anxiously and she casually threw out an Ice Mirror skill.
Ice Mirror was a control-type skill. It did not deal any damage but it would cause slowing effects within a certain boundary. If used on the water surface, it would cause the water surface to freeze.
When the Ice Mirror touched the water surface below the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor, the water surface immediately turned into a layer of ice.
Wang Yu chuckled and stabbed upwards with his sword.
Although Wang Yu was currently in the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s blind spot, this attack would definitely trigger the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor to dive into the swamp and swallow him.
But now, the water surface was frozen. The Frog Emperor could not dive again and it could only crouch down and croak to no avail. A BOSS under the assisted mode had such a one-track mind…
When Red Spiderlily discovered that the Frog Emperor seemed to have become a fixed target after she froze the water surface, it was as though she was a child that had found a new toy. The moment the freezing effect ended, she immediately threw out another Ice Mirror.
The poor Poison Arrow Frog Emperor was forced to stay on top of the water surface.
Wang Yu made use of this opportunity to rain down attacks on the Frog Emperor. The Poison Arrow Frog Emperor was a king of its kind but it was miserably turned into a clump of white light.
For a BOSS from such an unfavourable terrain, its drop rate was horrendously low. Wang Yu and Red Spiderlily’s method of blocking the BOSS was rascally, so it seems as though the system had responded in kind.
A Level 35 Gold grade BOSS only dropped one equipment.
Fortunately, this should be the first time this Frog Emperor was killed, so the equipment it dropped wasn’t very shabby. The only bad thing was that it looked incredibly ugly.
It was a semi-rotten heart which was green and slimy. It was even releasing a faint odour. The designer of this was truly tasteless.

Object description: Heart of the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor. It contains unique effects.
Compared to his Level 10 Wolf King’s Fortune, this necklace was only slightly better in stats.
Honestly, the skills [King of the Swamp] and [Swamp Walk] were of limited help. One had an effect which reduced slowing while the other was an escape skill. However, they were limited only to the swamp terrain… This limitation was too huge. Moreover, a close-combat job wouldn’t want to enter a swamp out of his own volition.
However, Wang Yu was rather pleased with the [Diving Proficiency] skill. When a player goes underwater, his speed would be reduced, just like when he enters the swamp. If he wears this necklace, not only would the slowing effect be reduced significantly, his diving time would also increase by 600 seconds.
One must know that a player’s fixed diving time was 120 seconds. Putting on this necklace was raising that time by five folds. In this game, there were many rare treasures and ores that could only be found underwater.
This was truly a great treasure-finding equipment.
Thus, Wang Yu immediately took off the Wolf King’s Fortune and eager equipped the Frog Emperor’s Heart;.
Red Spiderlily’s face turned black as she said, “Hey hey hey, what did it drop?”
This Wang Yu was so ignorant. This lady had helped him for half a day but he actually didn’t tell her anything.
Wang Yu hurriedly pointed at the necklace, “This.”
“So disgusting.”
Female players would usually look at an equipment’s appearance before looking at its stats. Red Spiderlily only took a single look at the Frog Emperor’s Heart. She didn’t even look at the stats before she revealed a look of disgust.
“Yeah, so I’m keeping it. For that staff, there’s no need for you to pay me,” Wang Yu said shamelessly.
Red Spiderlily said with dissatisfaction, “Just now, you didn’t add me into your party. You know that?”
“Er…” Wang Yu startled. Just now, he only cared about fighting the BOSS. He actually forgot to form a party. No wonder why his experience bar had risen by so much. So he had actually took all of the BOSS’s exp by himself.
“I’m truly sorry…”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. That necklace in your hand looks good. Give it to me…”
“Ah?” Wang Yu glanced at the Wolf King’s Fortune. This little guy had good acumen. Although this equipment looked worn out, it was still a Gold tier equipment.
The value of a Gold tier equipment wasn’t merely from its stats. It was also a symbol of one’s capabilities. If one wore it, he would definitely garner attention.
Wang Yu hesitated slightly, “I can give it to you, but you would need to pay for that staff…”
“F*ck, you petty miser. Bring it over!” Red Spiderlily shot Wang Yu a look of disdain as she accepted the Wolf King’s Fortune.
