Old Toad found a large yellow cloth bag and wrapped the Treasure Fish in it, slinging it over his back.
He pushed open the door and looked back at the six-tiered stone grotto.
Vines emitting a ghostly glow climbed up from the ground and filled the entire ceiling, their light reflecting off the stone walls.
Bells, cauldrons, and treasures like Huazhu and jade scattered their brilliant light in the water's reflection, and the hundreds of Treasure Fish in the cave seemed to swim through the air, unbound by anything.
"Looks like it's time to tighten the belt again."
Bubbles rose steadily, and Old Toad heaved a deep sigh. Having said this, he steeled his heart, leaped out of the cave, and landed on Green-Skinned Frog, hopping up and down on its belly, creating waves and vigorously urging Big Fatty to get up and hit the road.
Big Fatty struggled to his feet and looked up to see the yellow cloth bag behind Old Toad.
