Give Me the Name of God

Mount Denguluo is the largest, highest and most famous mountain in the central Origino continent. It is a five-day journey from Niujiao Town, and you have to travel day and night by horse-drawn carriage.

Fortunately, these five days were not difficult. Stanley hired three carriages, one for him and Lulian, one for Manda and Ogg, and one for his six living corpses.

Different from the carriages I rode in before, the carriage was at least twice as big, with sleeping berths, a dining table, ham and ale inside.

At dusk on the fifth day, everyone came to the foot of the mountain. After dinner, Stanley couldn't wait to go up the mountain overnight, while Manda asked Ogg to do a divination first.

Ogg caught a pheasant and sacrificed it to Prometheus. After completing the sacrifice, he received the oracle.

We can't go up the mountain tonight, or we will die.

Stanley said in surprise: I'm really curious. What can be found on the mountain that could kill us? We won't dig for treasure tonight, we will just camp at the designated location.

Ogg shook his head and said: I never question God's will, and I will never go up the mountain tonight.

Manda smiled and said, It doesn't matter if we wait one more night. I heard from the coachman that there are many bandits going up the mountain.

How unlucky are the bandits to encounter us? If we can snatch a few hundred gold coins from them, we won't have to dig for treasure.

Stanley finally obeyed the oracle and slept outdoors for a night at the foot of the mountain. At dawn the next day, four people and six living corpses set off along the steep mountain road.

The mountain road Stanley chose cannot be called a road at all. To be precise, it is walking through trees with overgrown branches. These trees are very tall, very strong, and very wild. They start to branch from less than one meter away. . The hard and sharp branches made several bloody cuts on Manda's body. The pain was excruciating due to the sweat. In addition, mosquitoes and various unknown insects chased and bit her. If it hadn't been for the Jurassic fate in her previous life, , most people really can’t stand this pain.

Ogg couldn't bear it anymore. At noon, Stanley asked everyone to eat something and rest for a while. Ogg lay on the ground and rolled his eyes and fell asleep.

When they set off again, Manda spent a lot of effort to wake up Ogg. Ogg sat on the ground and rubbed his eyes and said: The great prophet told me that we must wait until night before we can move on.

Stanley sneered and said, Didn't the great prophet tell you that if you lie in the name of God, God will cut out your tongue?

Everyone continued to trek on the mountain road, and as night fell, the lush branches and leaves blocked the moonlight, and everything was dark as far as the eye could see.

Stanley walked in front holding a lantern, and Lulienne followed behind. Neither of them were favored by mosquitoes. The breath on Stanley's body was too cold, and Lulienne's body was smeared with a special concoction.

The six corpses walking at the end did not attract mosquitoes, and the old blood on their bodies was of little nutrition.

The most miserable ones are Manda and Ogg. The two of them have become mobile dining tables for mosquitoes. A slap on the body can kill a large number of bloody mosquitoes.

After walking to the flat ground, they entered another forest. The trees here were different. They were also very strong and tall, but they were tall and neat, and there were not so many wild branches. The moonlight shone through the gaps in the tree crowns to the ground.

The most special thing is the color of these trees, which seems to be blood red, very moist, and seems to have a fishy smell.

Manda touched the bark of the trees and shivered with fright. These trees were actually warm and felt exactly like the skin.

Lulian took out a handkerchief, dipped it in medicinal powder and wiped Manda's hands.

Don't touch these trees. They are poisonous. The person who is poisoned will become one of them. Roots will grow under his feet, his head will sprout, and then his branches will spread out. He will stay here forever.

Stanley said from the front: But I heard that these trees are also very good medicinal materials.

Lulian smiled and said: That's right. When we go down the mountain, let your living corpse carry some branches back for me. For these trees, this is like cutting hair and nails. I don't think they will mind. of.

It depends on whether my friends have any extra strength. If each of them is carrying a few bags of gold, you will have to figure out what to do with the branches.

After everyone walked through the forest for a long time, Manda suddenly felt refreshed, the sweat on his body disappeared, and the mosquitoes also disappeared.

Strange, how do I know the mosquitoes have disappeared? It seems that I can no longer hear that annoying buzzing sound.

Not only were the mosquitoes no longer heard, but the noisy insects along the way were no longer heard, and the surroundings suddenly became very quiet.

The temperature also dropped a lot, and Manda, who was originally covered in sticky sweat, couldn't help but shiver a few times.

The danger pendant became slightly hot, and Manda stopped.

Ogg shouted from behind: The great prophet told me that there is...

Don't make a sound, Stanley extinguished the lantern, There is a golden-horned ice frog here. If it touches its tongue, we will turn into ice men.

Golden-horned ice frog? Such a familiar name, I should have seen it somewhere...

Come to think of it, it is the sacrifice for promotion to the third level, the secret text translated by Manda himself, the horn of the golden-horned ice frog, the scales of the silver-scaled python and two copper-shelled snails. Judging from the order and names, the golden-horned ice frog Obviously the most precious.

Gu Gu!

A muffled roar came, which was very similar to the cry of an ordinary frog, but the volume was much louder. Stanley squatted on the ground, letting everyone gather around him, and let the corpse surround the outside.

Seeing that Stanley was cowardly like this, it seemed that the golden-horned ice frog was not easy to deal with. Manda asked in a low voice: Can we kill one? I really want its horn.

Stanley shook his head and said: There may be a chance during the day, but we can't take this risk at night. Its eyes are hard to use, but its ears are very good and its speed is very fast. If you want to deal with it, you must at least see its tongue clearly.

Will it appear during the day?

I have only seen it at night. It is said that this thing will hide in deep caves during the day.

Gu Gu!

The sound got closer and closer, and Manda heard the sound of flippers falling to the ground, which was the beating of the ice frog.

It's coming this way, Stanley's voice was barely audible, Don't make any noise, slow down your breathing, and wait until it's gone far away before we leave.

After more than a dozen breaths, a huge frog jumped in front of everyone. It squatted on the ground, with a height of more than four meters. Its fat body shone golden under the moonlight. As its abdomen expanded and contracted, it became wet and sticky. Golden waves seemed to rise on the skin.

The golden horn as big as an ox's horn was on the head. Manda's heart was moved when he saw it. It was very difficult to restrain the greed in his heart. Fortunately, Manda had not lost his mind yet. It was the first time he saw this legendary creature. Don’t challenge the advice of a strong person easily.

But for some unknown reason, the frog stayed where it was and didn't move for a while. A chilling air came out of it, making Ogg's huge body tremble.

Click!

Ogg, who was shaking, stepped on a dead branch.

Stanley immediately held his breath. He still had the last vestige of fantasy.

Gu Gu!

The frog croaked, stood still for a moment, slowly slid its front legs, and turned its body towards the crowd.

The illusion was shattered.

It raised its head, its belly began to slowly expand, and its mouth opened slightly.

Stanley shouted: Run!

Everyone ran away, and the frog stuck out a tongue and stuck to a living corpse. The living corpse struggled twice and turned into ice in the blink of an eye, and was rolled into the frog's mouth by the huge tongue.

After swallowing a living corpse, the frog suddenly jumped up and chased Manda.
