"What is this?" When they looked at the piece of skin, everyone's expressions changed. Ding Ling squeezed over and took my arm and asked me.
"I haven't seen it either." I said, taking the not-so-bright flashlight and shining it inside. Compared with the slightly weak light around me, I could see this small area more clearly.
Upon closer inspection, I found that there were no scales on the skin, unlike common things like snakes and lizards. However, there was mucus on the skin, and there were also some strange little bumps and various spots.
The lumps present a special state of gray and many colors.
How should I put it? It’s like the Army’s camouflage uniform has been mixed with colors and rolled in the mud several times...
"It looks like a melon." Covering her mouth, the little policewoman said to me with her eyes blinked.
"There is no such thing as a melon with this color." I said, shaking my head, but judging from the body shape, the round shape is quite similar.
At this time, Xiao Ai was very impatient and started to take action. This girl was more troublesome than Ding Ling. She did not say hello to us. She poked the small bamboo pole from the left side and the side, and soon the thing below was removed.
Annoyed.
The thing struggled for a while, and then made a strange sound that sounded like crying or wailing. It was a bit muffled and scary. It made our hair stand on end. I grabbed Xiao Ai's hand and asked her to stop making trouble.
But I didn't expect that at this moment, two small meat balls suddenly bulged out from under the soil layer.
It was tight, the skin turned, and the two big eyes, which were as big as oranges, opened at once!
No, no, no, it didn’t open at once, but half of it opened at once!
The thing below looked at us with half-open eyes. As soon as I saw the pattern of the pupils, I quickly pulled Xiao Ai and the others behind me. Following that, I also placed a ruler in front of me that I hadn’t shown off for a long time.

"It's a toad!?"
Xiaopang said, picked up the shovel, and looked at the thing under the pothole. He had stretched out two claws and crawled out, but the thing's mental state was not particularly good, as if it was drunk. However, from there,
Judging from the two "webs" with claws on the front, this thing is either a frog or a toad!
Judging from the body shape, this creature is extremely majestic, with some bumps on its body and a darker skin color. These characteristics are those of toads, which are the legendary toads. But its eyes are very familiar to me. As far as I know, they are only those of frogs.
The eyes are like this.
Children who grew up in the countryside know that frogs and toads have different eyes, but we have to admit that some frogs and toads look very similar, especially those that are made underground.
For example, when I was a child, an old house in my hometown was torn down and rebuilt. When the foundation was being cleared, a broken clay pot left long ago was dug out. When the pot was opened, there were more than a dozen animals growing in it.
A small toad about five centimeters ran out of the clay pot. Those things didn't make any noise or scream. After they came out, they crawled around the clay pot and refused to leave.
Later, Third Grandpa asked someone to take a look, and the person said that these were immortals who had become spirits and were blessing the ancestral home, so they must be worshiped properly. For this reason, we even built a medium-sized shrine in our hometown for worship.
They are placed on the shrine on a plate covered with red cloth, and incense is burned and offered as an offering every day.
At that time, I caught a lot of grasshoppers and gave them to them, but they just lay there motionless as if they were dead. After about ten days, those motionless toads lying on the plate disappeared, and no one could see them.
I don't know if they ran away or "ascended". I just remember that those guys were all earth-colored and I had never seen them before.
Thinking about the scene at that time, and then looking at this big guy, I felt that this thing was a bit unusual. First of all, let’s talk about the size. Judging from the exposed part, this thing is as big as a washbasin lying in the soil. According to me
As far as we know, giant frogs of this size have been found in several countries near the equator. When measured by the legs, the body length is more than one meter, which is much larger than the common bullfrogs used for breeding and practical use.
However, I have seen pictures of that thing, and it is completely different from this one. Besides, due to climate reasons, huge creatures are not uncommon in tropical and subtropical areas, but in the north where it is freezing in winter.
, where did you get such a big frog?
Even if this thing is really an anomaly, or some rare species that no one has noticed, then, if this thing is hidden so deeply, what does it eat to grow so big? Don't tell me it eats earthworms, I won't believe it after telling you.
It grew up eating earthworms. Moreover, looking at its appearance, it is difficult to tell whether this thing is a frog, which is nicknamed a "toad", or a toad that exists as a "toad".
Although these two things look similar, they are not the same thing at all. As for how to distinguish them, apart from looking at their appearance, there are two main methods we use.
One is the posture of action. The toad can't jump, it can only crawl. Moreover, the frog's belly is white and has no patterns, but the toad's belly is mottled like a moldy nest. Thinking of this, I will
Ai is holding
I grabbed the bamboo pole and poked the thing's butt to see how it walked. The toad was disturbed and immediately became unhappy. It suddenly turned its head, raised it up and roared at me very angrily.
...
"Fuck!" At this moment, even I was scared, because at this moment I suddenly discovered that when shouting, the thing opened its super big mouth and revealed a mouth as long as pieces of broken glass.
Two rows of fangs on the gum!
Toads also have teeth!?
Definitely not!!!
At this moment, the expressions of everyone present changed. They thought they were encountering something fun, but they didn't expect this thing to be so terrifying.
Xiao Ai immediately took out his pistol, clicked it and pointed it at the toad, about to shoot. I grabbed her wrist and said in a deep voice: "Wait."
"What are you waiting for?! Are you going to plead for it?!" Xiao Ai said, quite unhappy.
"I'm not asking for mercy, but I can't let you do stupid things. Do you think it's over after one shot? Do you know if there is poison in this thing? What if the poisonous water splashes around others with this shot? Can you be honest?
A little!" I said and asked Ding Ling to take this girl away quickly.
Xiao Ai was very unhappy when she heard this, but she was quite reasonable. After snorting as a response, she stood aside with her arms crossed and said angrily to me: "Then do it, you are awesome! I
