Shen Hua is at the top of one of the swamp trees he is covered in water and mud heavily breathing. Below the tree a large rock-skinned Alligator swimming was with back and eyes above the water.
'This Stone-skinned Alligator appeared out of nowhere. Lucky there's a tree here otherwise it would have devoured me.' Looking at the stone-skinned alligator circling the tree waiting for him to come down, Shen Hua began to wonder how to escape.
'I thought deserts were the worst biome but marshes are much worse! There are various species of alligators and snakes on all sides. I've been hunting here for two days and so far I haven't seen the Poisonous Blood Frog I came to kill. Ahhh, where will I find him. '
Poisonous Blood Frog are not aggressive creatures and usually live in hiding. It have about eighty centimeters and strong legs that allow it to jump high. Your blood is extremely poisonous and can poison the victim just by touching the skin. Its poison causes extreme vasoconstriction.
'I need this frog! If I can apply all three poisons to the opponent they will become paralyzed and confused while blood vessels constrict causing organ failure due to lack of blood killing quickly and quietly.'
While Shen Hua thought of the Poisonous Blood Frog and the uses of the poisons, the Stoneskin Alligator left. 'Finally he left. Time to go.'
Shen Hua jumped from the tree and continued swimming through the tree roots. 'I didn't find this Poisonous Blood Frog even looking for two full days and I didn't even find any clues. I have to think of a plan to find him. '
While thinking Shen Hua arrived in a strange area with a smell of blood. Going a little further may the water turned a slight shade of red.
'What is it? An animal died here recently? It makes no difference. ' Not caring Shen Hua moved on.
As he was about to arrive at a part with more amount blood in the water he looked ahead and saw the corpse of a stone-skinned alligator floating in the water.
'Then the blood comes from him. If it's the same one who tried to kill me it was deserved. Too bad I didn't kill him. He must have died a short time ago still gives to get his crystal.' With a smile Shen Hua took a step toward her body when she saw the corpse of a Swamp Snake floating nearby as well.
When he looked at the base of one of the nearby trees, he saw the corpse of a Poisonous Blood Frog. 'Finally! He's been dead for a while, but if I go fast I can catch the crystal yet. '
Observing the surroundings Shen Hua began planning how to get to the Poison Blood Frog. Running to a nearby tree Shen Hua quickly climbed it.
Reaching out Shen Hua tied a rope to the base of one of the branches then grabbed a dagger and carved the branch into a thorn shape. He went to the tree and steadied himself under the branch using a dagger and began to carve the base.
When he managed to get the branch out, while he fell he used his leg to push it away. He distanced himself a little and fell half way to frog's corpse.
Shen Hua tied the other end of the rope to the tree that was and began to go to the branch that he launched. When he reached the branch he took another rope. Tying a stone to the end of the rope for weight Shen Hua threw it and she pinned it to one of the roots of the tree the corpse was on.
Shen Hua tied the rope to the branch and began to cross toward the tree. 'The easy part is gone. Now how do I get the crystal? It is the most dangerous and most difficult part.' Looking at the situation Shen Hua made a plan.
'I'm going to use the ropes to hang him by making his blood run down a cloth under him. Then just use the halberd to cut until the crystal falls.' Happy with his plan Shen Hua began to execute it.
When Shen Hua suspending Poisonous Blood Frog he removed his halberd from the ring and began cutting the Poisonous Blood Frog as fast as he could. When he cut a body part a blood-soaked crystal fell and was caught by the cloth.
'YES! I caught the crystal in time.' Excited Shen Hua took off the cloth carefully not to touch the blood and began to climb the tree. As he sat on one the tree branches Shen Hua opened the cloth and looked at the blood-soaked crystal.
Picking up another cloth Shen Hua passed the crystal to him still dirtyed with blood. Shen Hua grabbed a water canteen and splashed water on the crystal until it was clean. 'I got it and I didn't even have to fight the Poisonous Blood Frog. If I had to fight him it would be very difficult. I was very lucky.'
Seeing the blood still dripping from the Poisonous Blood Frog Shen Hua had an idea. He descended to the Poisonous Blood Frog corp, placed the empty flasks under the places where the blood dripped while he sat watching the crystal he took from Poisonous Blood Frog.
It is a navy blue crystal with a shade of red and has small vein-like grooves. 'This is the fourth and now only the last one is missing. I have to hurry and get him so I can go back to Shen Ruo's birthday in 13 days. '
Seeing the blood dripping Shen Hua began to get bored 'Ahhh! I'm so bored! In my past life I've had enough boredom!' Getting up Shen Hua started to walk around the tree looking for something interesting.
'What is it?' Shen Hua saw something strange among the roots of the tree. When he got close, he was instantly excited.
'Poisonous Blood Frog Eggs! How cool can I get a mascot! It's going to be very cool. If I can do something like Kuchiyose no Jutsu it would be really funny.' Shen Hua began to imagine doing Kuchiyose no Jutsu and started laughing.
'I don't think I can do something like this but it will still be nice to have a pet. Which one I will choose. Has several but I'll only take one or two I can't carry many with me.' Looking at the eggs Shen Hua began to analyze which one to take.
Frog eggs that are deposited directly in water hatch within a week at most. Considering that this Poisonous Blood Frog was killed recently and that frogs usually leave their eggs and go away these eggs will hatch in seven days.'
'I am near the mountain where the Thunderfooted Lizard can be found. It'll take me a day to get there, and I'll have five to find the Thunderfoot Lizard kill him and get back in time to catch some of these tadpoles.'
Decided, Shen Hua took the canteens with the Poisonous Blood Frog's blood, passed the ropes and headed for the mountain after the swamp.
