Buji Island was home to many frogs.
For instance, there was the 'Xiu Bi' with a white mouth and a fishtail, whose call resembled that of a sparrowhawk, and whose flesh could cure vitiligo. There was also the 'Gu Zao' with horns on its head and scriptures on its cheeks, which, if caught at noon on the fifth of May and dried in the shade, could ward off hundreds of soldiers. And then there was the 'Xiam,' two meters long, that spat red mist and devoured birds, insects, snakes, and rodents for food, which could transform into red rock when still, among others.
Of course, the most common were still those noisy, irritating amphibians with yellow-green skin that crawled between puddles and marshes. And then there was Iseni's small frog that could climb through midair and move back and forth swiftly, which he used as a messenger.
But none could compare with the one Zheng Qing was currently facing.
