Chapter 49 - Emerald Frogs
An arrow split the air, drawing a perfect trajectory amid the tense atmosphere of the Dry Marsh. The wind whispered softly as if anticipating the impending impact. The projectile glinted at the last second, shining like a shooting star on its journey to find its target. The arrow met its fate when it pierced the green, scaly skin of one of the Emerald Frogs.
The sharp sound of the impact resounded in the air, as the leaping animal emitted a guttural cry of pain.
The battle was already raging amidst the desolate landscape of the Dry Swamp. The muddy ground trembled beneath the feet of Kaito's group, each step emitting the sound of their hurried movements.
The Emerald Toads were sturdy creatures, with bright green skin and eyes of an intense shade of green. Though they were a bit large, they hopped deftly on the damp earth and their sticky tongues were like sharp weapons, literally whips that snagged and tore.
