Chapter 160: Win the Trust of a Jumping Frog
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
‘In that case, can I establish a good relationship with one of the Jumping Frogs so that I can disintegrate them from the inside?’
Just as Klein’s thoughts appeared.
A hint appeared in front of his eyes once again.
[Although Jumping Frogs are social animals, there will be fights between their own kind every day. They are already used to it. Unless it has something to do with their own interests, they won’t care. These Jumping Frogs are very selfish and only care about their own interests. If you can give them enough benefits, they might even betray their own kind.]
‘It’s just as I thought.’
Klein was overjoyed.
With that, Klein knew how to bring the Jumping Frogs along.
He directly found one of the Jumping Frogs.
Then, he would think of a way to give it benefits and make it work with him for the time being.
Then, he would use the Jumping Frog to destroy them from the inside.
All Klein needed to do was watch them kill each other and take the benefits when it was over.
However, Klein needed to think carefully about the partner he was working with.
After all, Klein couldn’t work with just any partner.
He had to go through a screening process.
The frog he was cooperating with had to be sufficiently powerful.
Furthermore, it had to be sufficiently easy to fool.
To put it bluntly, it needed to have brute strength, but didn’t have brains.
Although these Jumping Frogs didn’t seem to have very good brains, Klein carefully observed them for a while in the air.
He discovered that not only did these Jumping Frogs not good brains, they were also particularly lazy.
Most of the Jumping Frogs didn’t jump at all. They just stayed in one place to sleep, not moving at all.
They were either in a daze or sleeping.
Klein tried to look for the patriarch.
But after taking a look around, he realized that there didn’t seem to be any so-called patriarch.
Everyone looked the same, and there wasn’t any special treatment.
However, there were indeed a few taller ones who looked much sturdier than the other Jumping Frogs.
There were three of them in total.
The three of them were very far away from each other and were basically scattered.
Two were sleeping while the other was in a daze.
‘How should I approach them so that they won’t attack me and tell their kind the moment they see me?’
Klein was thinking about this problem.
If they told their kind the moment they saw him, Klein would be done for immediately.
Although these Jumping Frogs were selfish, they should be a common enemy to them.
Klein might be taken down by them together.
Therefore, he had to be very careful with this first step.
Finally, Klein thought of a method that he thought was not bad.
That was to use food to lure them to make them not think of attacking him.
Klein found that these Jumping Frogs especially liked to eat meat.
Mice, insects, they ate everything related to meat, not just insects.
Therefore, Klein directly took out a piece of Golden Sand Dragon meat.
He quietly landed beside a frog.
Of course, Klein didn’t expose his tracks the moment he came up.
Instead, he dove directly underground.
He left the meat near the frog.
He secretly observed it under a bush.
He saw that the jumping frog was originally in a daze when suddenly, it smelled the meat.
The Jumping Frog couldn’t sit still.
It immediately looked around.
Suddenly, it found a piece of fat not far from it.
The Jumping Frog was very excited.
It immediately ran to the fat piece of meat and carefully looked around to see that there was no other kind.
Then it immediately began to eat.
Making a clicking sound.
It was delicious.
It ate very fast.
In less than two minutes, it finished.
After eating, it felt more satisfied than ever.
Where did this meat come from?
It was too delicious!
It still wanted to eat!
So, it continued to look around.
It wanted to see if there was any more.
However, after a few steps…
It found another piece of fat meat.
Only, this piece of fat meat was less compared to the previous piece.
Only about half.
But Jumping Frog did not care so much. It was very happy to see that there was food.
It did not think much and just went up to eat.
This time, it ate faster
In less than a minute, it finished the meat.
Once it finished, it was still not satisfied.
So it continued to look around.
Suddenly, it noticed the shadow of a creature in front of it.
It immediately looked up with a murderous look in its eyes.
It was ready to attack the other party at any time.
It thought that there were other Jumping Frogs of the same race who ran over to snatch its fat meat.
However, this shadow was none other than Klein’s.
Klein held the remaining piece of fat in his hand.
He waved it in front of the Jumping Frog.
When the Jumping Frog saw Klein, it immediately understood that this person wasn’t of the same race as it.
He was an outsider!
However, when it saw the fat piece of meat in Klein’s hand, it was craving for it again.
That’s right, it wanted to eat meat!
Therefore, it didn’t care too much.
As long as he gave it meat, he was a companion!
Klein didn’t say a word and directly threw a piece of fat meat to the Jumping Frog.
The Jumping Frog instantly caught it, and in less than half a minute, it swallowed the meat.
After it finished eating, it looked at Klein again, its eyes filled with endless greed.
Klein didn’t say much.
He took out another piece of meat.
However, Klein wasn’t in a hurry to give it to the Jumping Frog.
Instead, he snapped his fingers and released a flame from the Fire Ring on his right middle finger.
“I can give you this piece of meat, but I need you to cooperate with me,” Klein said with a smile.
A hint of confusion appeared in the Jumping Frog’s eyes.
Clearly, it understood what Klein was saying.
Klein was using the common underground language.
The Jumping Frog could understand him.
Its eyes instantly understood Klein’s thoughts.
“Alright,” the Jumping Frog replied to Klein in the very deep underground common language.
Seeing that the Jumping Frog had agreed, Klein decisively threw the meat to the Jumping Frog.
It wasn’t because Klein easily believed the Jumping Frog.
But the moment the Jumping Frog agreed, a new hint appeared in front of Klein.
[Jumping Frog, although its brain isn’t good, it will definitely keep its promise. It’s very honest. Please don’t worry about making a deal with it.]
Therefore, Klein concluded that the Jumping Frog wouldn’t betray him.
“Tell me everything you know about this race. Only then can I agree on the next plan. However, I promise you that I won’t hurt you, as long as you don’t hurt me,” Klein said this to the Jumping Frog very seriously.
The Jumping Frog nodded.
It tacitly agreed to Klein’s suggestion.
“How should I address you?”
“Call me Dazhuang. That’s what the other races call me,” Dazhuang said.
“Alright, Dazhuang. Tell me everything you know about your Jumping Frog race.”
