He took out the bullfrog, made a quick, thin horizontal cut just above its mouth with the bronze sword, then grabbed it firmly and tore off its skin.
Rip!
A piece of bullfrog skin was pulled off by Lin Baici, leaving only the faint pink flesh.
The bullfrog was still alive, so its limbs were flailing wildly.
Lin Baici, trying to suppress his disgust, cut open the bullfrog's belly, found a cocoon-like organ, and spotted a gland as thick as a yogurt straw. He touched it, found the head, pinched it, cut it off with the bronze sword, tied it in a knot, and then quickly removed the poison gland.
Afterward, he scooped out this clump of innards.
"..."
The others stared at Lin Baici, dumbstruck.
Although his movements were not smooth and skilled, his hands were steady, and his purpose was clear, as if he had dealt with this kind of bullfrog before and knew how to handle it.
Lin Baici glanced at the maid.
