Chapter Sixteen: Taming the Field King Frog
"Field King Frog!"
"Oh my god, this Phantom Beast still exists!"
"It's been decades—decades since I last saw a frog like this!"
An elderly man cried out in alarm.
His eyes were even somewhat agitated.
"I've heard of the Field King Frog!"
"It's a Phantom Beast that gets along harmoniously with humans!"
"They love eating pests. They're the best partners in the fields!"
"But what's going on? I heard they were extremely docile and good to humans, and would never casually harm people or livestock. Is this the one that's been eating our oxen and sheep?"
The crowd cried out in alarm.
Many of them had heard of this frog Phantom Beast.
It was a farmer's best helper.
With one around, they could command other frogs to help catch pests.
It could be said that with such a frog holding down the fort,
the crops throughout the entire village would never have to worry about pests.
When they heard Chen Xuan say that the culprit behind their missing oxen and sheep was the Field King Frog before them,
they found it somewhat unbelievable.
"Everyone, look at its belly!"
Seeing the bewildered looks on their faces,
Chen Xuan pointed at its belly.
At that moment!
The Field King Frog was timidly covering its own eyes.
It wanted to run away, but the butterfly dancing through the sky had it locked down.
As a Phantom Beast, it could sense that the butterfly's aura was far more powerful than its own.
Moreover, it felt as though something was locking onto it from within its shadow,
leaving it unable to move.
The Field King Frog's perception was entirely correct.
The moment it leaped out of the mud,
Chen Xuan's Obsidian Shadow Gamma had already locked onto it.
The instant it made any unusual move, it would attack.
"Its belly?"
After hearing Chen Xuan say that,
everyone's eyes were drawn to the Field King Frog's belly.
They saw that its body was enormous.
Its belly was round and swollen.
"I understand now. It's pregnant!"
"Oh my god, no wonder it swallowed our oxen and sheep!"
"I heard the Field King Frog has an extremely low reproductive rate!"
"When pregnant, it needs to eat a huge amount of food to replenish its 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 there was to know about this wondrous Phantom Beast.
In the past, many villages had taken pride in possessing a Field King Frog.
It had been a source of bragging rights.
However, because of their extremely low reproductive rate, their numbers had dwindled steadily.
They had nearly vanished altogether.
"So, everyone understands now, right?"
"Your oxen and sheep were eaten by this Field King Frog!"
"And once they're eaten, they can't come back!"
"Killing it won't do anyone any good!"
At this point, Chen Xuan stopped.
"I have a proposal!"
"What proposal?"
The crowd was puzzled.
Seeing that he had piqued everyone's interest,
Chen Xuan continued.
"Your oxen and sheep have been eaten, and they can't come back!"
"How about this? Let it help our Holy Dragon Village eliminate pests and atone for its crime. What do you say?"
Chen Xuan said.
"Atone for its crime? Good!"
"Xiao Xuan's idea is excellent!"
"It ate our oxen and sheep, but we'll forgive it. From now on, it can work for our Holy Dragon Village!"
The crowd laughed.
The Field King Frog had always been a farmer's best companion.
It had swallowed their oxen and sheep for the sake of its unborn child.
They couldn't bring themselves to kill it either.
Chen Xuan's proposal was just right.
"Wait, Xiao Xuan!"
"But this Field King Frog is a very high-level one. Can you tame it?"
Someone cried out in alarm.
"That's right! The Field King Frog is the king of the fields. I heard it reaches at least Silver Rank after adulthood!"
The crowd was horrified.
In truth, they did not know that after reaching adulthood, the Field King Frog could reach Gold Rank at the very least.
Hearing their words,
Chen Xuan did not answer immediately.
Instead, he turned with a smile and asked the Field King Frog, "Field King Frog, are you willing to serve our Holy Dragon Village from now on and atone for eating the villagers' oxen and sheep?"
"Ribbit, ribbit!"
At Chen Xuan's words, the Field King Frog nodded frantically.
How could it dare refuse? This human was even more powerful than it had imagined.
It knew that if it showed even the slightest unwillingness,
those two locked-on Phantom Beasts would kill it.
