In the three days that Hopper had lived in this area of water, he had only seen this many blue-spotted frogs today.
Besides seeing Venus and the four stone-scaled lizards near the shore at dusk every day to relax.
From time to time, he would see a few stone-scaled lizards coming over to hunt for food and water.
From this, it could be seen that this area of water was the main area of activity of the stone-scaled lizards, and it was very close to the habitat of the stone-scaled lizards.
Therefore, Hopper had only seen one blue-spotted frog monster before.
Moreover, that blue-spotted frog monster was a scout that came to scout the area first. That just proved that this basic-level blue-spotted frog monster's captain had a plan long ago.
Otherwise, it would not have brought 15 blue-spotted frogs to the vicinity of the stone-scaled lizards' habitat.
As for its specific purpose, Hopper believed that it had something to do with the Venus that he had captured.
After all, there were four stone-scaled lizards as bodyguards every day. Presumably, her status in the stone-scaled lizards was not low.
Moreover, looking at the attitude of the four stone-scaled lizards just now, even if they lost their lives, they still had to buy time for her.
This made Hopper even more determined.
Although he did not know how many secrets this 'Venus' had, these were not important to Hopper. He just wanted to keep a pet.
"If we can communicate, then it'll be much more fun."
Thinking of the cry for help that sounded in his mind, Hopper could not help but become excited.
In the few days that he came to this world, Hopper's mental state had been maintained under high pressure.
Especially when he was about to get out of the cave, but he was chased back to the cave by the purple-striped golden bat.
In the end, he had to risk his life to rush into the waterfall, and when he woke up from the wetland, he was already covered in injuries.
Under such a stressful situation, if he could get a pet that could chat and play, at least, he would not be reduced to a monster that only knew how to fight.
Rustle! Rustle!
Just as Hopper walked to the spider silk that was wrapped around Venus and was about to carry her back to the nest.
The sound of leaves rubbing against each other could be heard in the bushes, and Hopper also felt the vibration.
"Finally can't hold it in anymore?"
Hopper thought for a moment then turned around and shot out spider silk towards the bushes not far from the shore.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss...
As the spider silk sank into the bushes, six stone-scaled lizards crawled out one after another.
Still in shock, they looked at Hopper, who was not far away, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Heh, boring."
Hopper shot them a disdainful glance, then used his sharp front legs to draw a line on the ground in front of him.
Then he carried the spider silk wrapped around Venus and walked to the water's edge.
When Hopper's legs stepped on the water's surface, they did not sink into the water but floated on the surface.
And this was because of the characteristic that Hopper had acquired, 'floating'.
Hopper's main source of food during these three days was the green-footed water strider. These water striders could walk on the water.
By eating a lot of green-footed water striders and absorbing them, his characteristic 'floating' had even been upgraded to level 2.
Even with the heavy spider silk on his back, Hopper, who was floating on the surface of the water, seemed to be walking on flat ground.
"I wonder what the purpose of those stone-scaled lizards is..."
He saw the six stone-scaled lizards walking from behind the bushes.
They only walked to where he drew the line, not daring to cross the line at all.
Hopper could not help but have this question in his mind.
With 'echo' and 'compound eyes' characteristics, he had actually discovered these six stone-scaled lizards long ago.
However, Hopper had never figured out what their purpose was.
Long before Hopper had jumped out from between the reeds and calamus and joined the battle, they were already hidden in that bush.
Hopper also recognized that they were actually the five stone-scaled lizards that had come to this area in the past three days.
Most importantly, the information obtained through the passive skill, Keen Insight, the six stone-scaled lizards were also one level higher than the four stone-scaled lizards that had died.
Hopper had also made sure that they had no intention of saving his companions before leaping out and using a spider web to capture Venus.
Even so, Hopper was always on guard against them when he ventured into battle.
This was also one of the reasons why Hopper had never been too far away from Venus.
For example, after setting up the spider silk killing formation, eating and absorbing the spider silk pieces, and testing the poisonous properties of the spider silk.
All of this was to intimidate the six stone-scaled lizards that had been hiding in the bushes for some reason.
Judging from their reactions now, they were indeed frightened by Hopper's strange spider silk.
Otherwise, they would not have climbed out of the bushes in panic when Hopper shot the spider silk into the bushes.
Moreover, when they faced Hopper's warning, they only stopped on the line and did not dare to cross the line at all.
"Forget it, I don't want to think too much!"
"I don't want to get involved with them, since they don't want to save their own people."
"I rather go back and play with my new pet."
As Hopper looked away from the water's edge, ready to race back to his nest, a long-lost and familiar female voice rang in his mind again.
"What pet?"
