In the depths of the Great Marsh.
The undercurrent surged violently.
A whirlwind of disorientation later, Old Toad landed steadily, raising a slight cloud of dust.
The Fat Catfish, carrying a large boat on its back, emerged from a tunnel along with Liang Qu.
Liang Qu looked towards Old Toad and Fat Catfish with a breezy composure, fighting the dizziness to stand up from the ground.
He still wasn't accustomed to channel transportation due to lack of experience.
The sunbathing Old Toad was incredibly drowsy and left first, bounding away with his frog legs, eventually disappearing from sight.
Liang Qu shouldered the large boat by himself, following Fat Catfish's pace, and saw the long-missed Big Brother Toad.
Big Brother Toad did not immediately greet the man and beast.
Emerging headfirst from the burrow, he scanned the distance to make sure Old Toad had vanished, then couldn't contain his joy as he accepted the new boat, carefully wiping its hull with his webbed paws.
