Chapitre 123: CXXIII. The Slime

At one point, the huge amphibian moved towards him, crawling through the pond.

"Help me! Do something! I can't move!" screamed Dag in a panic: the monster was too big to be tackled with his bare hands, his legs out of order.

Reidar returned to the bank of the pond and took his bow. He loaded an arrow and shot it at the toad, hitting it on the head.

The animal made no verse, it remained motionless as if nothing had happened.

He fired a second arrow and then a third, which struck the monster in one eye, partially blinding it.

The toad continued to advance towards Dag, despite the three arrows lodged in its soggy flesh.

"The hammer! Karl, give me my hammer!" shouted Dag, as the toad opened its mouth wide, so big it could swallow an entire elephant.

Dag couldn't move, he was doomed.

"Captain!" shouted Reidar, who continued to shoot arrows at the toad, hitting it in the mouth, without stopping its advance.
