Chapter 122: Moonlight Mountain Frog [2]

The movements of the Moonlight Mountain Frog were so large that they gave tremors with every step. However, surprisingly, it was so slow that even the hunter masters spreading their formations were able to hurt it.

There were plenty of cries coming from this monster, and even though it was deafening, the hunter masters didn't pardon him with their attacks. They all continued attacking with their sword techniques and external martial arts. Even though they were weak in spiritual energy and didn't have a great output, their performance was promising.

Even still, the monster seems to be unscathed by their attacks. In fact, it was only a tickle for it, but these signs were not obvious to them. 

The hunter masters cut a few parts of the monster's skin. There were no grave injuries, but the scratches were obvious.

With the size of the Moonlight Mountain Frog equal to a hill, the hunter masters looked like ants biting a human. And as they were enduring the tiredness, a few minutes had passed and the intensity of the attacks of the Moonlight Mountain Frog had weakened. Their efforts were paying off.

The Moonlight Mountain Frog's main attacks were its huge body slam, acidic saliva, and long tongue. Even though it had a high cultivation base, it was useless since the purpose of the spiritual energy for this monster was to maintain its life.

Life for the purpose that this kind of monster isn't actually made for the balance in the ecosystem. They survive on their own accord, not by the ecosystem's balance.

The fight continued and the baiting group was preparing for their part of the operation. And as they moved stealthily to reach the froglets, they were discovered.

The head of the Moonlight Mountain Frog slowly moved in their direction with its deep abyss-like dark round eyes. It was growling, surprising for a frog to act like this.

"Take the froglets immediately."

Fortunately for them, even though they were discovered, they were so near the froglets that three of the baiting group were able to grab the froglets. And with this, they were able to run with it.

The other seven members of the group joined the main group to attack and buy time. But even with their numbers, the monster was still able to get away from them and only focused on its children.

"Nice, we already got the froglets. With this, we will be able to chase them away!"

Everyone was celebrating this, as with the heavy body of the monster, it wasn't able to catch up with them. They assumed that their attacks were working.

"Hahaha! This is a perfect plan! Now that this huge monster is moving, our village will finally have a calm atmosphere. The vegetables will finally grow healthier!"

"It is indeed a blessing from heaven. Look at that genius kid! Among the three, he is the fastest of them all!"

"Oh, that Gabriel Fang? He is indeed fast. What do you think his cultivation base is currently at? With his promising progress, if he got a few more years, he would be able to handle this monster solo."

"Oh, you think so? He should be because these monsters aren't all that difficult to control. Look at its movements; it was weakened by our attacks."

They were celebrating too early, so they didn't notice what was really happening. The Moonlight Mountain Frog wasn't weakened by their attacks. It was because it gave birth to these froglets that it wasn't able to move fast.

Even with jumping, the monster was having a hard time. But of course, they were too complacent to think that in the next few seconds, they were about to be alarmed again.

"Kwak!"

The Moonlight Mountain Forg followed its eyes to its children with intense hostility towards the humans before it, gathering around them. It was angry that it was able to produce such deafening soundwaves.

"Pugak!"

Some of their ears rang from the soundwaves. Some were able to reinforce their ears with their Qi, but unfortunately, there was still great damage to their sides.

The Moonlight Mountain Frog was so strong that they were deceived by its weak state. It made them think of absurd things for a moment.

When an enemy is in a sorry state and the attacking party wasn't sure of the actual strength of this enemy, they tend to become relieved and underestimate this enemy.

Underestimation is the greatest problem because, even with how knowledgeable you are, it is natural for you to feel this way. Superiority feeds the ego, and humans struggle to maintain the ego.

Their ego resulted in a disastrous outcome for their side. They didn't expect it. As soon as the monster was able to move quickly, someone was caught with it.

Squish!

Blood splattered under the monster's leg. Someone was smashed to the ground, crushed with no pure flesh remaining. It was as if hit by a huge mountain to be in this state.

As they saw it, their eyes could only become dilated as their breathing became unstable as well. But for the monster's side, it was deserving of them that it continued moving without any remorse for what it had done.

Of course, it was a monster, but most monsters still feel something when they kill since it is a natural instinct for creatures to feel something before blood.

The hunter masters cried with all of their might and moved their rage to their attacks.

"You bastard! You dare kill one of our fellow clansmen! You will feel our anger and we will avenge our fellow clansmen!"

Different cries filled the entire area, but it was too late. The Moonlight Mountain Frog was catching up with the baiting group that made them alarmed.

"Shit. Let's hasten our pace; that frog is at our back!"

Gabriel was just silent and promptly reinforced his legs with the Qi he had spared. And with it, his movement hastened, capturing their attention, which also raised their morale.

The baiting group still doesn't know what was happening behind their backs. They were only following the plan, going to the escape route group to finish the operation. 

"Look at that boy rocking this race! He is indeed a genius! Way better than you bastard who can't even move quickly." A sneer came from one of the three holders of the froglets.

"Wow. Coming from you who is already 20 years old yet still at the 6th level of the Apprentice Spirit Realm. Be my fan! I am already at the 7th level!"

"Yes, yes. I am not jealous you fucker!"

Their pace remained steady as the monster closed in on them from behind, covering a few hundred meters. This event made the other two laugh and celebrate that they would be able to finish this operation with sweeping success.

Meanwhile, Gabriel was contemplating why the monsters seemed to be not injured but just weak. He didn't know about anything that had happened in the back, but what he was sure of was that it was as if the attacks the main group made were nothing to do with it.

There were no obvious limping movements from the attacks. It should have since their initial plan was to damage the legs. But it wasn't reacting to the scratches it has on its legs.

It is suspicious, but Gabriel continued following the plan. In a few hundred meters, they will reach the escape route. Since it is a few kilometers away now from their village, it would be safe to leave the froglets there and escape.

It should be the plan, but a thought had reached Gabriel's mind. What is it? He noticed the balance in their operation. They attacked the monster, but the monster didn't leave its children. Like humans, they tend to protect their children.

And surely, if they knew that there were threats in the surroundings, what comes to the mind of their parents is to bring their children to a safe place. But it didn't, so something might be happening inside its head.

Gabriel, don't underestimate monsters. Even if they were not innovative like humans forming civilization, they had an upper instinct that humans could not reach to rival.

Gabriel had read plenty of books to help with his cultivation problems, and some of the books he had read were not actually helpful for his cultivation, but they at least raised his perception of life.

Thus, with the pure intelligence he had, he noticed that the monster knew that it was weak to move away from the threats. It is not about confidence because if it was about confidence, the fight should have ended quickly with the humans dying.

But nothing like that happened. Why? Because it was weakened due to giving birth.

Boom!

Or so it should be...

A sudden sound just disrupted Garbiel's thoughts and made him cover his ears. There was some fine dust that gathered before him and the rest of the baiting group, making them blinded for a few seconds.

As the dust dissipated, they were only frozen in their position to discover what caused it.

The Moonlight Mountain Frog caught up with them and was able to jump high enough to land before them. But where is the shadow? They didn't notice the shadow...

For that, the reason was that they were so focused that they didn't notice that the monster was too fast. How? It should be weak.

"Just like humans.... Monsters also experience adrenaline rushes at crucial times."
