RPAGF Chapter 11 The Frog Prince
Chapter 11 The Frog Prince
This was Miao Yin's first time visiting this shopping mall. She walked among the ruins and climbed the stairs one floor at a time.
On the way, we passed a high-end clothing store. The store door had been smashed open by the deformed man, and the sharp edges of the glass reflected a piercing light. There were horrifying serpentine drag marks on the ground, and on the counter, an eyeball stared eerily at the person who came in.
Miao Yin bent down to avoid the broken glass and stepped into the clothing store.
The shop displayed dozens of haute couture items worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, most of which were splattered with blood, which made Miao Yin feel somewhat regretful.
She picked and chose, and picked out a light blue dress.
This is an absolutely stunning strapless dress. The bodice is wrapped in soft silk satin, with a diamond-shaped cutout at the waist. The skirt falls to the calves, and one side of the skirt is embroidered with a layer of light misty gauze, while the other side is adorned with hundreds of sparkling blue-purple diamonds. It is elegant, mysterious, light, and serene, and the skirt shimmers as it moves.
Miao Yin was amazed and immediately took off her clothes and put them on.
After straightening her dress, she kicked aside her sweatshirt on the floor and walked to the full-length mirror.
The girl in the mirror looked up and smiled faintly, and a red mole between the eyebrows of Guanyin was faintly visible.
Her fingers pinched the hem of her skirt, her slender waist swaying slightly, and the light blue skirt danced in the air, like a siren on a deep-sea reef flicking her aquamarine tail, stunning everyone who looked at her.
Miao Yin was smiling, but as she looked around, she suddenly frowned.
The girl stood still, touching her cheek and pondering for a moment. Then she punched the mirror and shattered it. Blood flowed down the broken surface, weaving into a rotten flower. The cracked mirror tore the person in it into countless pieces. Her face was broken and distorted, creating an inexplicable sense of horror and grotesqueness.
She kissed her bleeding finger bone, her thin lips slightly pursed, the color of her lips as bright red as a rose falling with morning dew.
"That's much better." Miao Yin nodded in satisfaction.
She tossed her long hair down to her chest and gracefully turned to the counter: "Do I look good?"
The half-rotten eyeball stared at her silently.
The girl giggled: "Thank you for the compliment."
She had fallen in love with the clothes, and the cotton sweatshirt on the ground could no longer attract her attention.
With formal attire, jewelry is naturally indispensable.
Luxury stores are usually clustered together; when Miao Yin left her clothing store, there was a jewelry store right next door.
Jewelry stores are suffering even more than clothing stores.
The dazzling jewelry that should have been displayed in the boutique is now lying on the ground, the cabinet is shattered, and there are shocking bloody handprints on the wall.
Miao Yin picked up a crystal necklace from the cracked display case and put it around her neck.
She then picked out two exquisite diamond bracelets from the ground and wore them on her left wrist, which complemented the blue diamonds on her skirt perfectly.
She kicked away the severed hand, picked up a crystal hair clip from below, blew off the dust, and pinned it to her ear.
Yes, that would be much more perfect.
Miao Yin's eyebrows and eyes were curved.
"Crunch..."
A faint, inaudible murmur arose from the darkness.
She tilted her head and looked out of the shop.
It remained empty and eerily silent.
With a flick of her wrist, Miao Yin produced a gleaming Tang sword.
"Click-clack..."
"Squeak, quack, quack..."
A green claw suddenly appeared on the edge of the floor above, its sharp nails piercing the roof wall, causing plaster to fall in a flurry.
"Coo...quack..." The sound seemed to be investigating something.
Miao Yin, holding a Tang sword, slammed her hand on the counter, the dull thud breaking the silence of the mall.
The next second after the sound rang out, another claw pierced into the wall, and a round, green head emerged from above.
The head was about a meter wide, with irregular black spots covering its rough, goosebump-like skin. A layer of wet, sticky mucus floated on its surface, and a few strands of brown hair vaguely resembled a human.
Its two enormous eyes, which took up two-thirds of its head, rolled around in their sockets before fixing their gaze on Miao Yin, their eyes filled with a vivid hunger and a thirst for food.
The mutated human jumped down from above, splattering slime and kicking up a cloud of dust. Its swollen body lay on the ground, opening its mouth to reveal a mouthful of fangs and a scarlet tongue with barbs.
"Quack!"
This is a mutated frog.
It seems he either ate a frog or wore a frog costume in his previous life; how stylish!
"Quack quack!!!"
Miao Yin dodged the frog's fleshy tongue by sidestepping.
The barbed, fleshy pillar slammed into the wall, then quickly retracted, shattering the stone and leaving a large, dark hole.
Okay, now she knows how the clothing store door broke.
"Croak! Croak! Croak!" The frog hopped and jumped, clearly mistaking her for a delicious little insect, and stuck out its long tongue once more!
Miao Yin leaped to the ground, nimbly dodging the attack. Then, with a powerful swing of her arm, a flash of white light appeared as the sharp blade of the Tang sword severed the distorted tongue in an instant.
A foul-smelling green liquid gushed out from the cut surface of the tongue. The frog let out a painful howl and quickly retracted its severed tongue, jumping up and down in agony.
The severed chunks of flesh fell into the ruins, twitched a few times reflexively, and then turned ashen.
The frog was completely enraged. With a croak, it charged in, its bloated body scattering shards of glass as it lunged at Miao Yin, its four webbed feet outstretched, revealing long, tiger-tooth-like claws.
Miao Yin seized the opportunity, lowered her body, blade facing upwards, and glided over in a flash.
The cold, hard Tang sword instantly sliced through the frog's soft peritoneum, and under the influence of gravity, countless white, transparent eggs mixed with organs fell from the cut.
The frog slammed into the wall, splashing green sap everywhere. It slowly slid down the wall, leaving a trail of flesh mixed with its skin.
"Quack... quack..."
It clutched its stomach with one webbed foot in a rather human-like manner, turned around, revealing a frog face that was mangled and disfigured from the impact, and its one relatively intact eye glared venomously at Miao Yin.
Miao Yin got up from the ground, patted the dust off her skirt, and looked at the torn hem with regret.
She said to the frog with a wronged expression, "Look at you, you've ruined my new clothes!"
"Croak... croak... croak..." the frog croaked.
Miao Yin's arrogant expression vanished instantly, replaced by tenderness: "It's okay, mistakes can be corrected. Once I open Guagua's head, I'll forgive Guagua."
She smiled sweetly, her palms radiating a fiery, molten lava-like heat.
With a gentle wave, the flames obediently coiled around it, and the frog began to burn. Its skin crackled and popped, releasing a pungent aroma of flesh. It rolled and struggled on the ground in agony, revealing its stark white bones.
"Quack quack quack!!!"
The frog, unwilling to die like this, used its last strength to pounce on Miao Yin.
Eat her! If you eat her, not only will you not die, but you'll also become stronger!
Unfortunately, its weakest eye was the first to suffer, unable to see where Miao Yin was at all. It desperately lunged towards where she had been standing, but ultimately missed.
The frog crashed heavily to the ground. No more than fifty centimeters away from it, Miao Yin tilted her head slightly, lowered her eyes, and watched it burn expressionlessly.
The frog twitched a few times, then finally died, turning from a green frog into a black frog.
Miao Yin gripped the Tang sword and eagerly lifted the frog's skull.
In the still-warm green sap, a crystal-clear green stone lay quietly.
With a flick of the tip of her blade, Miao Yin sent the stone landing steadily on the blade.
Some highly mutated organisms possess such stones, known as crystal nuclei, which contain a power whose composition could not be determined even after ten years of the apocalypse.
The stronger the aberration, the more energy is contained in the crystal nucleus. Based on the amount of energy contained, the crystal nucleus can be divided into five levels: green, blue, yellow, pink, and red.
This energy can be absorbed by those with superpowers to enhance their strength and promote evolution, and it can also help other mutated creatures reach a higher level.
This was also the real purpose of Miao Yin's trip.
Her skills are unique, multifunctional, and more powerful than others, therefore she requires far more crystal cores to level up than others.
Having been reborn, she urgently needed to strengthen herself. Instead of trying her luck outside, she should come directly to a place where crystal cores had been identified, and even if it was just a small accumulation, she had to build them up.
She needs to hunt them down while everyone is still in a state of fear and before the mutations have evolved to become invincible, in order to obtain crystal cores and upgrade her supernatural abilities.
The Blood Guanyin, who devoured thousands of crystal cores in her past life, could annihilate a city with a mere laugh, and was known as the strongest flame in the apocalypse.
And now, this shopping mall is its first source of nourishment.
