Chapter 60 Killing the Golden Toad
Chapter 60 Killing the Golden Toad
This toad is so fat, and the gold text on it is so small.
In addition, Wang Ce had been highly focused just now, and there were also many meat sausage entries in the river to distract him, so he really didn't notice.
[The Cloud Ladder: A unique martial arts technique. After mastering it, one can ascend to the heavens by stepping on their right foot with their left, with exceptional effectiveness!]
[Do you want to study? Yes/No]
If this had happened before, Wang Ce would have thought stepping on his right foot with his left was a bit unreliable. However, after experiencing Iron Shirt and Eagle Claw Kung Fu, Wang Ce was just about to calm down when everything went black again.
"Thump!"
His body was kicked into the water by the golden toad, and after separating from the entry, the option to learn it disappeared instantly.
His detection range is within a radius of 100 meters, but to use or learn from it, one must make contact with it.
"If I master this martial art, this golden toad might not be able to catch up with me."
This time, Wang Ce did not run away again. Instead, he took the initiative to approach the golden toad, intending to learn the Cloud Ladder first.
The golden toad is, after all, a third-tier life form, and its total energy content is definitely greater than his own. If it comes to a battle of attrition, he would be at a significant disadvantage.
Seeing Wang Ce approach, the golden toad blinked and revealed a very human-like expression of contempt.
[The Cloud Ladder: A unique martial arts technique. After mastering it, one can ascend to the heavens by stepping on their right foot with their left, with exceptional effectiveness!]
[Do you want to study? Yes/No]
"Yes, yes, yes!"
After grabbing the golden toad's left hind leg, no matter how the toad shook, Wang Ce gritted his teeth and chose yes.
"Buzz!"
I felt as if an electric current was flowing through my legs, and then two small circulations appeared in my legs. This was the operating route of the vertical ladder.
"Climb the Cloud Ladder! Let's see how you catch up with me now!"
Wang Ce kicked off with both feet, shooting out of the water like an arrow.
"Wang Ce has run out again. He's so tenacious, going in and out so many times."
"Yes, I'm afraid Wang Ce's life level has reached the second level, or even the third level, I would believe you."
"Those Japanese ninjas just now, when they fell into the water, didn't even make a splash, they turned into a cloud of blood mist. I didn't expect Wang Ce to be able to move freely in the water."
"Actually, I admire him quite a bit, but he misjudged the situation. He shouldn't have taken a stroll in the first place. He should have gone straight into the stairwell. In such a confined indoor space, there might have been a chance to fight the golden toad."
"You don't know anything! Wang Ce was protecting the others. Yes, once he goes in, the Golden Toad might not be able to catch him, but what about the others? Can they outrun the Golden Toad?"
"Have you ever wondered what the Golden Toad would be doing right now if Wang Ce hadn't held it back?"
"Otherwise, why do you think people from other factories all stepped in? You understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,' right?"
Many factories are paying attention to this battle in various ways. Just like the worker said, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken."
"What a pity. Although Wang Ce is fierce, the golden toad is just too fast."
"This golden toad's attack power isn't great, but its defense and speed are maxed out. Wang Ce will probably be dragged back into the water again."
"It would be such a shame if we were worn down to death."
"It's not that the Golden Toad's attack power is weak, but that Wang Ce's defense power is too strong. You all saw the scene where the Golden Toad smashed the reinforced concrete just now."
"If Wang Ce could be a little faster, that would be great. I saw that their factory has already set up an explosive trap. If Wang Ce could—"
"Stop with the 'what ifs,' he's escaped!"
Many workers were shocked and gaped when they saw Wang Ce leap into the air as if climbing a ladder to heaven.
This time, Wang Ce jumped very high; logically, the golden toad's jumping ability should be even higher.
However, even with its leaps and spitting out its giant tongue, the golden toad couldn't reach Wang Ce.
"Am I seeing things? How did he step on his right foot with his left and take off from the spot? What the hell is this, the Wudang Cloud Ladder?"
"Wudang's technique is like climbing ladders to the clouds, they're just country bumpkins."
After Wang Ce scrambled up a building, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn't mastered the Cloud Ladder in time, he might have really died here today.
"Wang Ce, hurry to Building Twelve, I've planted explosives there!"
Upon hearing Zhang Luoyan's calm and collected voice from the drone, Wang Ce did not hesitate at all and headed straight for Building No. 12.
"This golden toad is incredibly fast! Even with my basic mastery of the Cloud Ladder technique, it's still difficult to shake it off!"
Wang Ce ran with all his might, not knowing if he could kill the golden toad before it left the Twelve Buildings.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
Huang Feipeng flung out a bullet and then chased after the golden toad, causing it to freeze in pain and slow down.
However, the golden toad was determined to kill Wang Ce, and after only a brief pause, it resumed its pursuit.
In fact, Wang Ce was also quite puzzled. It was just that he killed some of your descendants, so why did you have to pursue and attack so relentlessly?
Could that giant tadpole with water arrow abilities be the crown prince of your Golden Toad clan? That can't be that ridiculous, can it?
Because of Huang Feipeng's delay, Wang Ce and Jin Chan were separated by a small distance.
By the time the golden toad followed them into Building Twelve, Wang Ce had already run out, and Zhang Luoyan decisively pressed the detonation button.
"boom!"
The shockwave compressed the air, and even Wang Ce, who had run out, felt a stinging pain in his eardrums. A milky white shockwave pierced through the doors and windows beside him.
Once the dust had settled, Wang Ce cautiously glanced inside.
The load-bearing columns shattered like biscuits, the steel bars twisted into reddish-brown braids under the intense heat, and concrete blocks were wrapped with steel bar stubble. The industrial style had turned into a war-damaged style.
The golden toad beside it lay sprawled out, completely dead. Although its body was still intact, it had already lost its breath.
To be on the safe side, Wang Ce first poked at it from a distance a few times and cautiously circled it a few times before approaching and taking out a pale yellow third-order crystal core.
When Wang Ce appeared on the roof of the twelve buildings carrying the corpse of the golden toad, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
This is also a source of encouragement for the other survivors in the park.
"Bang!"
With a few leaps, he landed back on the roof of Shenghong Building. Wang Ce addressed the still-recovering workers:
"Process this golden toad and see if it's still edible. After all, it's a third-tier creature, so it might be a great tonic."
Several workers worked together to drag the golden toad downstairs. Huang Feipeng's small eyes darted around, and then he ran downstairs with the workers.
Before leaving, he closed the door to the rooftop. In the stairwell, Huang Feipeng winked at several workers and made a gesture to lower his voice.
Immediately, one by one, they put their ears close to the door, eager to hear the gossip.
"Clatter!"
Looking at the row of [meat sausages being synthesized] piled up behind the door, Wang Ce shot a nut at the door leading from the rooftop to the ground floor, mimicking Zhang Luoyan's tone:
"If you don't go down now, Manager Zhang will throw you into the river to bathe."
Upon hearing this, a series of clattering sounds came from behind the door as everyone rushed downstairs.
"I didn't say that."
Zhang Luoyan stood with her hands in her pockets, leaning against the large ship, her eyes fixed on the tips of her shoes, her face expressionless.
"Let's date!"
Wang Ce pursed his lips. He wasn't even this nervous when he killed the golden toad earlier.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you!"
Zhang Luoyan raised her chin and glanced at Wang Ce sideways.
But then Wang Ce took a deep breath, looked up into her eyes, and said earnestly, "I'm saying, Zhang Luoyan, let's date!"
Zhang Luoyan straightened up, turned around expressionlessly, and opened the door from the rooftop to the ground floor.
He withdrew his right foot, which was about to step inside, and, gripping the doorframe, turned to look at Wang Ce, his eyes smiling as he said:
"Well then—I'll give you a chance."
