Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

A toad?

toad?

frog?

frog?

After some twists and turns, Chen Xi and the others arrived at the end of the tunnel.

Here crouches a figure resembling a gatekeeper, a giant black toad.

If Chen Xi and the others hadn't been wearing lights on their heads, they wouldn't have been able to see anything at all in the pitch-black tunnel.

"It doesn't have a lifespan on its head; this toad isn't a living being!"

This was Chen Xi's first impression.

We have now reached the end of the tunnel, and the black pointer on the A4 paper is pointing directly at the toad!

"Could this be the true nature of the Infinity Stones?"

Yan Mingliang said with a hint of doubt.

"No!" Yang Wei, unusually, disagreed with Yan Mingliang. "There's nothing on this toad's head!"

"If it really were an Infinity Stone, it's impossible that nothing was written about it!"

There was no road left, and everyone was at a loss.

At that moment, the toad opened its mouth again, and its red tongue "whooshed" towards Chen Xi with a slight whooshing sound.

At close range, it is even more difficult to dodge.

Fortunately, Chen Xi had gotten used to it along the way, so avoiding it wasn't too difficult. In addition, he had unlimited stamina, so theoretically he could keep dodging indefinitely.

But then?

Just as Chen Xi was pondering what to do next.

Suddenly, truth stirred.

After attacking Chen Xi with his tongue, he reached out and touched her with his hand the instant he withdrew his tongue.

"Your Majesty, please continue to dodge. I'll see if I can gather any truth about this tongue or toad."

Chen Xi nodded.

Now we can only see if the truth can provide any answers; otherwise, staying here is meaningless and just a vicious cycle.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The toad's attack intervals seem to be fixed, and its speed never increases; it remains the same.

This made it easier for Chen Xi to dodge, but he didn't let his guard down, always preparing for the possibility that his tongue might suddenly speed up and launch a surprise attack.

But you shouldn't worry, this scene never happened.

The toad is like an emotionless tongue-sticking machine.

After Chen Xi dodged the tongue attack for the 15th time, Zhenli's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed:

"My lord! This tongue is the toad's ability, called 'Toad Licking Acupoint Technique'."

"However, this is not an attack method, but a teleportation method!"

"We haven't reached the finish line yet; the real finish line is inside this toad's belly!"

"Its tongue will guide those who arrive here in order of their strength."

"Because you are the strongest, it keeps licking you, and you keep avoiding it!"

The answer to the truth was somewhat unexpected for Chen Xi.

Chen Xi's level of trust in the truth is 80%, but there is still 20% skepticism.

If the other party's initial goal was to get themselves into the toad's mouth, that seems plausible.

The rescue of Yang Wei and the others can be seen as foreshadowing.

"My lord! I can go in with you. As long as you hold my hand, we can go in together."

Perhaps sensing Chen Xi's inner turmoil, Zhenli spoke up.

"Let's go together! At worst, we'll all be wiped out!"

"If you can't set things on fire, then don't set them on fire! Take this elbow strike!"

The author elbowed Yang Wei in the mouth, extinguishing his passion.

Yan Mingliang nodded, agreeing with Yang Wei's action.

Chen Xi did not answer.

Although there was some skepticism about the truth, the level of trust was even higher. However, this toad was a bit strange; in Chen Xi's opinion, its tongue couldn't break through the toad's defenses at all.

If it were to enter the other person's stomach with this level of strength, would it be able to come out?

After all, one must consider an escape route in everything. It's not like we can't leave now; at worst, we can just give up and continue to Paradise Lost.

"Truth, once we've entered, will your Gate of Truth bring us out?"

"Under normal circumstances, the Gate of Truth can be used without any obstacles."

Chen Xi nodded, silently cursing Zhenli in his mind.

Isn't that obvious?

That's like not asking at all!

Should we go in or leave?

Chen Xi was momentarily confused.

If the Infinity Stones are really inside this toad's belly, then there are two possible answers.

First, the person who found the Infinity Stone in the first place didn't actually find the real one. Second, the toad later swallowed the Infinity Stone.

Both are possible.

Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, Chen Xi thought for a moment and decided to go in!

If he really can't get out by then, he doesn't mind revealing his identity as the Sun.

Then the power will come to you.

We can surely break through this toad and then escape through the Gate of Truth.

This series of operations is theoretically sound, but its actual execution is another matter.

Just then, the toad opened its mouth again, and its tongue "whooshed" out towards Chen Xi.

At this moment, Chen Xi had made up his mind and seized the truth. Similarly, Yang Wei and the others, who had been waiting for Chen Xi's decision, also joined hands.

And so, the five of them were swept up by the toad's tongue and swallowed, just like packaged parcels.

......

After a brief moment of dizziness, Chen Xi quickly opened her eyes.

The sensation in my hand hadn't disappeared; Zhenli, Yang Wei, and the others were still there, and everyone had just opened their eyes.

What came into view was not some bloody, mangled entrails, but a world, a familiar world!

Chen Xi and his group appeared on a bus, the five of them holding hands and sitting in the last row.

"here it is?"

Chen Xi quickly confirmed the current scene by looking out the window at the receding streets, architectural styles, and text.

This is Japan's Fudo Country!

How did we end up in Japan's Fudo Country?

"Baka!"

A roar suddenly rang out, interrupting Chen Xi's thoughts.

A bald man with a small mustache and a walkie-talkie stood up from the front row.

"You five!"

"I'm talking about you five guys sitting in the last row!"

"What are you all doing, looking around like that?"

"Didn't anyone tell you that this scene we're filming is about time stopping?"

"The moment Shimizu-kun pressed the pocket watch in his hand, time stood still."

"As passengers, all you're required to do is remain completely still. Is that so difficult?"
