Mo Li, being dragged into the air by the giant frog's tongue, wore an extremely solemn expression. He knew exactly what was about to happen. Given the frog's size, if it opened its mouth, both he and Zhong Lichun would be swallowed whole. Wei Dengke's escape didn't mean they could escape too, so he and Zhong Lichun absolutely could not be swallowed, or everything would be over.
As Mo Li was contemplating these issues, he and Zhong Lichun had already been pulled to the giant frog's mouth. Just as he was about to enter the frog's maw, Mo Li's left hand suddenly shot out, grasping the frog's mouth. He then planted his feet on the lower jaw of the frog's mouth, his body arching like a bow, wedged in the frog's jaws.
What Mo Li was doing was exactly the same as what Wei Dengke had done before. The difference was that he was supporting the frog's mouth with one hand, as his other hand had to hold onto the frog's tongue to prevent Zhong Lichun from being pulled into its mouth.
Although Mo Li's physique was much stronger than Wei Dengke's, he still heard the crackling sound of his bones all over his body as he withstood the immense force of the frog's jaws closing.
Supporting the frog's mouth with one hand, fine beads of sweat covered Mo Li's forehead. He knew he couldn't hold on for much longer, but with his hands and feet unable to move, what else could he do? When his strength gave out, would he also be swallowed by the giant frog like Wei Dengke before him?
Mo Li didn't want to die. Although he had no family left in this world, he still cherished his life. At this moment, Mo Li suddenly regretted not accepting Mei Duo's feelings for him. If he had been more proactive, he and Mei Duo might have already been married, perhaps even with children.
The will to survive made Mo Li's mind race as he thought of ways to escape the perilous situation. But in such a desperate predicament, even Zhuge Liang reborn couldn't come up with a solution!
Just as Mo Li was beginning to despair, he suddenly saw Zhong Lichun's eyebrows twitch slightly while she was unconscious. This meant Zhong Lichun was about to wake up. Seeing this, Mo Li felt like he had grasped a lifeline and shouted loudly at Zhong Lichun, "Tomboy! Tomboy! Wake up! If you don't wake up now, we're all done for!"
Mo Li's shout did indeed wake Zhong Lichun. Her eyelids fluttered a few times, and then she slowly opened her eyes. Perhaps it was because she had just woken up, but Zhong Lichun's gaze was a bit dazed, clearly not understanding the current situation. However, Zhong Lichun soon realized she was wrapped by a sticky tongue and was inside a giant frog's mouth.
Looking around in panic, Zhong Lichun immediately saw Mo Li struggling to hold open the giant frog's jaws. With her extensive combat experience, Zhong Lichun instantly understood what was happening, and her mind finally cleared completely. Perhaps it was a habit developed from the harsh training she received in her childhood, but Zhong Lichun hadn't let go of her military knife even in her unconscious state.
Zhong Lichun could see that Mo Li couldn't hold on much longer. Without any hesitation, she raised the military knife in her hand and fiercely stabbed it into the giant frog's tongue.
The sharp military knife sank completely into the frog's tongue, and a stream of brown blood spurted from the wound, drenching Zhong Lichun's face and hair. The giant frog let out a piercing scream from the blow, and the tongue holding Zhong Lichun instinctively loosened its grip. Its closing jaws opened completely. Seeing this, Mo Li quickly reached out and grabbed Zhong Lichun's arm, then pulled her out of the frog's mouth. Immediately after, they both jumped out of the frog's jaws.
Due to the suddenness of it all, both of them lost their balance and fell to the ground upon landing. The giant frog, apparently enraged by its injured tongue, entered a berserk state and began stomping around on the ground. Mo Li and Zhong Lichun were right under the frog's feet. As the frog's massive foot was about to stomp down, Mo Li shoved Zhong Lichun beside him and rolled in the opposite direction. Fortunately, Mo Li reacted quickly, otherwise, they would have both been crushed to death.
Dodging the frog's stomping foot, Zhong Lichun and Mo Li quickly scrambled to their feet and bolted. They had indeed managed to injure the frog, but defeating it was impossible. After narrowly escaping death, why would they not run?
After thrashing around for a while, the giant frog finally calmed down from its frenzy. However, it was clearly enraged by its injury. Letting out a low croak, the frog once again madly pursued the fleeing Zhong Lichun and Mo Li.
Seeing the frog chasing them again, Mo Li frantically pointed at a giant bacterium not far away and said to Zhong Lichun, "Climb up there, quickly!"
Hearing Mo Li's shout, Zhong Lichun nodded, then turned and rushed towards the bacterium. At this moment, the giant frog was less than fifty meters away from them.
Reaching the base of the giant bacterium, they began to climb. But getting down was one thing, climbing up was incredibly difficult. The surface of the bacterium was extremely soft, making it impossible to get a grip. How could they climb this thing?
Hearing the roar of the approaching giant frog behind them, Mo Li knew they couldn't waste any more time. He knelt on one knee beside Zhong Lichun and anxiously shouted, "Step on my shoulder! I'll get you up there!"
"What about you?" Zhong Lichun asked upon hearing Mo Li's words.
"I'll figure something out then. Hurry up and get up there! Otherwise, it'll be too late!" With the situation so dire, Mo Li didn't have time to think about anything else. He only had one thought: save whoever he could. He didn't consider his own safety.
Zhong Lichun wanted to say something more, but Mo Li didn't give her the chance. He grabbed Zhong Lichun's arm, pulled her closer, and urged, "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry!"
Hearing Mo Li's urging, Zhong Lichun could only comply. She lifted her foot and stepped onto Mo Li's shoulder. Mo Li supported Zhong Lichun's waist, and once she was steady, Mo Li suddenly stood up, throwing Zhong Lichun high into the air with the momentum of his rise, his hands still gripping her waist.
Zhong Lichun landed successfully on the sloped surface of the giant bacterium. Although she hadn't reached the top, this slope was enough for her to stand steadily.
Just as Mo Li threw Zhong Lichun onto the bacterium, the giant frog had already caught up to them. Mo Li didn't even have time to hesitate; he immediately started running. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. If he had been half a second slower, the frog's front foot would have landed on him.
