Chapter 236: A Little Frog Kid

-----

What emerged before Chaos and Aruliel was something they had not expected, or well, they had sensed such presences but had not thought such a thing would appear. They had been swallowed by a giant frog just now, and were exploring its massive internal stomach, but right after entering it they found massive amounts of ruins and temples spread across the gastric ocean, floating peacefully over the foul gastric acids.

What they saw was not something normal, however, as they saw several paintings inside the ruined ruins which depicted frog-like people worshiping the giant frog as if it were some kind of god, which was very weird by seeing how the ruins were now inside his stomach. Did the frog betrayed the people that prayed to it and ate them all?

Considering how gluttonous and mindless this powerful beast was, Chaos considered that they had just eaten them when it got pissed off or something, but there might be another reason behind this new mystery that had occurred. Chaos had never guessed that the moment he arrived in this planet he would be confronted by such an occurrence and such a strange and bizarre event.

He had just gotten here and now he was swallowed by a frog with Aruliel, he had thought about breaking out but the being itself was very strong, and he also felt like he shouldn't for some reason. Within his instincts something said he shouldn't try to harm it, and well, now that he and Aruliel found a mysterious creature that could talk inside of it, such mysteries might be resolved quicker than they had originally thought.

Chaos caught with his tentacles a small… frog?

It looked like a big green frog, it had moist and rough skin, big emerald-green eyes, a large mouth, a big throat which was inflating like a balloon, large arms and legs which could let it leap around easily, and it also had a slightly big belly, with a small body. This strange yet simple creature of odd appearance was able to speak, and Chaos couldn't help btu find a strong remembrance with the paintings he had just seen inside the ruins. Was this frog part of this tribe?

"Uagh! Let me go!"

"What are you? Who are you?" asked Chaos.

"Uagh! A giant frog?!" asked Aruliel, feeling shocked.

"Ugh! I am Froggo from the Frog-kin tribe!" he said, the boy who was a large frog with a humanoid body resembling more like beast-kin of the frog-type, and different from the Saphibian Race, spoke in a rude tone against Chaos, a being that could easily kill him in an instant if he wanted.

But Chaos was a tolerant and open-minded man, he let go of the child after he said his name and race, Chaos only felt intrigued about him and what he was, and how come he ended inside of here out of nowhere too.

"Why are you here? And these ruins… I saw the paintings, are you these people?" asked Chaos.

"A-Ah… Yeah… These are old ruins that I come to visit sometimes to hunt for food, in here big worms hide sometimes and make nests to lay eggs! A-And who the heck are you two?! I've never seen such bizarre beings before!" said Froggo, he looked at the two with surprised and dumbfounded expression on his frog face.

"Mind your tongue a little bit, will you? You're talking with master!" said Aruliel angrily, she seemed cartoony as she got angrily, moving her mouth around while talking and spitting saliva. Sometimes she really was like a cartoon brought to life.

"I call whoever I call however I want to! In these lands you gotta earn respect!" said Froggo.

"Gggrrr! You Kusogaki!" roared Aruliel, about to grab Froggo and strangle him!

"Don't worry about it Aruliel, I don't really care. Anyways, Froggo, how come your tribe ended in the stomach of a giant frog?" asked Chaos.

"Ah… huh? How do you know that?" asked Froggo.

"Isn't it obvious?! We also got swallowed!" said Aruliel.

"Y-You what?!" Froggo seemed surprised.

Was it not common to get swallowed by a giant frog passing through the Amphibi Planet? Well, the first place they landed was atop its head, which really annoyed him.

"Then you're as good as done! My tribe ended here around 300 years ago and haven't been able to get out. We already got used to live in here! I was born here so I don't know how life was outside, but I always dream of one day getting out of here… but the acid waters are painful if you stay there for too long, so we can't really escape. Those that have tried ended being dissolved into bones, said my grandma!" said Froggo.

It seemed that Froggo's tribe ended being swallowed over 300 years ago! Wasn't that a very long time?! And why did they just got swallowed anyways? Couldn't they escape? And how come they had survived for so long in these hot and wet temperatures- ah, well, frogs live in such temperatures and are just fine. He had also say he comes to hunt giant gastric worms here, as they make nests in the floating ruins and leave tasty eggs as well. The Frog-kin had adapted here to eat the fauna of this place to survive, which consist mostly of gigantic parasitic lifeforms…

He had also stated that there was no way out! The giant frog simply put had no way to escape. He swallowed you and you were as good as done. He thought that these two weirdos should be grateful they didn't got dissolved by the gastric sea and actually landed in some "land" while they could.

"You should be grateful you actually survived that! This gastric land is dangerous, but my tribe got the knack for it some years ago… You're stranded here forever pretty much, wanna help me hunt? If you help me get some food, I'll think about inviting you to my house so we can eat together!" said Froggo. The frog kid was very cocky but also had some kind of gentle hearted intentions.

What will Chaos do now that he was thrown in such a bizarre situation?
