Description: A very rare frog-type Phantom Beast. It can grow to Gold Rank upon reaching adulthood. It is a beneficial creature that loves to devour pests, and its powerful ability allows it to command ordinary frogs. Due to its extremely low fertility, it is very scarce, even on the verge of extinction. When pregnant, it often swallows cattle and sheep to hunt for food.

Chapter 16: Subduing the Field King Frog

"Field King Frog!"

"Heavens, this kind of Phantom Beast still exists!"

"Decades, I haven't seen this frog in decades!"

An elderly elder exclaimed.

Even his eyes were somewhat excited.

"Field King Frog, I've heard of it!"

"This is a Phantom Beast that lives in harmony with humans!"

"They love eating pests and are good partners in the fields!"

"But what's going on? I heard they're very gentle, very kind to humans, and won't harm people or livestock casually. The one eating our cattle and sheep is it?"

The crowd exclaimed.

Many among them had also heard of this frog-type Phantom Beast.

They were a farmer's good helper.

With one, it could command other frogs to help catch pests.

It could be said that having such a frog guarding the scene.

The entire village's crops would have no worries about pests.

Hearing Chen Xuan say that the culprit behind their missing cattle and sheep was the Field King Frog before them.

They even found it hard to believe.

"Everyone, look at its belly!"

Seeing the crowd's puzzled expressions.

Chen Xuan pointed at its belly.

At that moment!

The Field King Frog was timidly covering its eyes.

It wanted to flee, but the butterfly fluttering in the sky had locked onto it.

As a Phantom Beast, it could sense that the butterfly had a more imposing aura than itself.

And it felt something in its shadow had locked onto it.

Preventing it from moving.

The Field King Frog's perception was correct.

The moment it jumped out from the soil.

Chen Xuan's Obsidian Shadow Gamma had already locked onto it.

If it made any unusual move, it would attack.

"Its belly?"

Hearing Chen Xuan say this.

The crowd's attention was drawn to the Field King Frog's belly.

They saw the Field King Frog's body was plump.

Its belly was round and bulging.

"I understand, it's pregnant!"

"Heavens, no wonder it swallowed our cattle and sheep!"

"I heard the Field King Frog's fertility is extremely low!"

"When pregnant, it needs to devour a large amount of food to replenish energy!"

"To prevent the hard-won child from miscarrying."

An elder stepped forward.

He was the Village Chief of Holy Dragon Village.

He knew everything about this miraculous Phantom Beast.

Once, many villages took pride in owning a Field King Frog.

It was a symbol of status to flaunt.

But due to its extremely low fertility, their numbers dwindled.

Until they nearly vanished entirely.

"So, everyone understands now!"

"Your cattle and sheep were devoured by this Field King Frog!"

"Once eaten, they're not coming back!"

"Killing it won't do any of you any good!"

Having said this, Chen Xuan paused.

"I have a proposal!"

"What proposal?"

The crowd looked puzzled.

Seeing that he had piqued their interest, Chen Xuan continued.

"Your cattle and sheep are gone, and they won't return!"

"How about this—let it help Holy Dragon Village eliminate pests and atone for its sins?"

Chen Xuan said.

"Atonement, yes!"

"Xiao Xuan's idea is great!"

"It ate our cattle and sheep, but we'll forgive it, and from now on, it works for Holy Dragon Village!"

The crowd laughed.

The Field King Frog had always been a good partner to farmers.

It had devoured their livestock for the sake of its pregnant offspring.

They couldn't bear to kill it either.

Chen Xuan's proposal was just right.

"Wait, but Xiao Xuan!"

"This Field King Frog is a high-rank creature—can you actually tame it?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, the Field King Frog is the king of the fields. They say that as an adult, it's at least Silver Rank!"

The crowd was shocked.

In truth, they didn't know that an adult Field King Frog could reach at least Gold Rank.

Hearing their words, Chen Xuan didn't answer immediately.

Instead, he turned to the Field King Frog with a smile and asked, "Field King Frog, are you willing to serve Holy Dragon Village from now on and atone for eating the villagers' cattle and sheep?"

"Croak, croak!"

At Chen Xuan's words, the Field King Frog nodded frantically.

How could it dare to refuse? This human was far stronger than it had imagined.

It knew that if it showed even a hint of reluctance, it would be killed by those two locked-on Phantom Beasts.
