Chapter 59 New Gold Entries
"Splash!"
The enormous shadow blocked out the sunlight behind him. Wang Ce had just noticed the surrounding light dimming when he realized something had jumped out of the river.
Zhang Luoyan was running decisively towards the rooftop, and Wang Ce subconsciously moved sideways to avoid her.
"Snapped!"
A dark shadow, like a whip, shot towards them.
"Pfft!"
Turning to the side, Wang Ce was startled to see a small hole poked in the wall where he had just been standing.
"Holy crap, a third-tier golden toad!"
A three-meter-tall golden toad emerged from the river. Its bronze-like skin was covered with cloud-like golden lines, and its molten gold vertical pupils were chillingly sharp.
"Hey! What kind of mother are you, you little toad? Your son has been looking for you everywhere, even coming to our factory!"
Huang Feipeng stood on the rooftop, pointing at the golden toad and cursing loudly, seemingly trying to attract the toad's attention and buy Wang Ce time to escape.
At this moment, Wang Ce was hanging by the window, with nowhere to get a foothold. The fact that the ninja from the Haneda guild had fallen into the water earlier proved that there were carnivorous creatures in the river, and those who fell in would be completely destroyed.
This toad has a very long tongue with bony spurs at the tip. If it even touches the surface slightly, it will probably tear the skin and flesh.
"Pfft!"
The golden toad suddenly swelled up its throat and then contracted, its huge tongue covered in fleshy growths shooting through the air!
The tip of the tongue, bony and sharp, gleamed coldly, while the venomous saliva left a trail of purple smoke in the air.
"Bang! Bang!"
It was Yang Miao on the other side who, with a heavy heart, fired the gun. This gun was the one that Wang Ce had sent over by drone to deal with the two second-tier ninjas.
The golden toad, in pain, abruptly retracted its giant tongue. Its pair of golden vertical pupils merely glanced back at Yang Miao before attacking Wang Ce once more.
"This golden toad is intelligent. It must have sensed that Wang Ce killed a lot of tadpoles, so it was determined to kill Wang Ce."
"shot!"
After the workers from Shenghong went upstairs, Zhang Luoyan decisively ordered them to open fire, and in her hand was the factory's only sniper rifle.
Despite being called a sniper rifle, it doesn't actually have a scope; it's just a Liaoning-13 rifle with a thicker barrel and a tripod attached to the front.
"Puff puff puff—"
The golden toad's body surface secretes a large amount of mucus, and the bullets that hit it actually slid down its skin and onto the river surface.
In pain, the golden toad burrowed into the river. Instead of being pleased, Wang Ce became even more vigilant.
"This golden toad has extremely strong defenses and its life level has reached the third tier; it's not something you can handle."
"You guys guard the factory, I'll lure it away!"
It wasn't Wang Ce's individual heroism, but rather that it was very difficult for others to break through the Golden Toad's defenses.
Zhang Luoyan has just finished using her superpower and is currently in a cooldown period. Huang Feipeng's metal superpower is not even as fast as a bullet, so it is also useless.
Rather than letting the golden toad wreak havoc and damage the buildings, it would be better to move the battlefield.
"what!"
With his back against the wall and a fierce look in his eyes, Wang Ce suddenly kicked off with both legs and jumped directly onto the roof of the Xinke Plastics building across the street.
This terrified the people at Shinco Plastics, and they immediately ran downstairs.
Wang Ce didn't linger, but instead leaped again and ran towards the factory buildings that hadn't been rented out yet.
Wherever he ran, the workers there were terrified, fearing that the golden toad would be attracted there.
"Send out the drones to monitor the entire industrial park from the air and report the coordinates to Wang Ce!"
Zhou Li of Daqiang Electronics Technology adjusted his glasses and instructed the factory employees to operate the drone units to monitor the park from all angles, turning the loudspeaker volume up to the maximum.
"The golden toad is in the water to your right and behind you; it's coming out!"
Upon hearing the voice from the drone in mid-air, Wang Ce did not hesitate and changed direction again.
"Pfft!"
The corner of the wall where he was standing was smashed.
"Damn it, that tongue is practically a bullet!"
Wang Ce secretly thought to himself that it was fortunate he reacted quickly, otherwise that attack would have been enough to get him into serious trouble.
"Fifteen meters to the right front!"
Wang Ce changed direction again to avoid the giant tongue of the golden toad.
And so, everyone in the park watched the chase between Wang Ce and the golden toad.
No matter which area they pass through, they will help out any factory that can lend a hand.
"Brother Ce, have some water!"
As we passed by Beijiajia Garment Factory, a cloud of clear water suddenly condensed in the air, which must have been Zhao Jiajia's special ability.
Wang Ce took a sip in mid-air and then fled again.
He will only make a move after he fully understands the golden toad's abilities; he'll take it for a spin first.
"Sizzle—"
As they passed the Fuhuakang Electronics Factory, the golden toad finally leaped out of the water and rushed toward Wang Ce at an extremely fast speed.
Moreover, the timing was extremely precise, precisely when Wang Ce was still in mid-air, his old strength had worn off and his new strength had not yet been generated.
"Haha, we've managed to get this golden toad out of the water!"
"Oh no, Wang Ce has been entangled by a tongue!"
The workers at Fuhuakang Electronics Factory were terrified, but Zhang Luoyan, on the rooftop of Shenghong Building, calmly and resolutely gave instructions:
"Huang Feipeng, use drones to put all the explosives in the factory into Building 12, and then go to the Black Rare Earth Chemical Plant to get TNT explosives and transport them there together."
"If Wang Ce just holds on a little longer, he can lure the golden toad to the ambush point and at least seriously injure it."
Huang Feipeng looked at Zhang Luoyan with some surprise. She was so calm. The more critical the moment, the clearer and more rational the judgment she made.
This shows how much Zhang Luoyan cares about Wang Ce, which is why she lost her composure when he pretended to be dead.
My good brother should understand my feelings by now, right?
"Thump"
Wang Ce was swept into the water by the golden toad, but he instantly pulled out the dagger from his calf and stabbed it at its giant tongue.
With the golden toad in pain, Wang Ce regained his freedom.
However, at this moment, he is in the water, and his mobility is no match for that of the golden toad.
"Although I can't kill the golden toad, it can't kill me either, not in the short term!"
Wang Ce discovered that even though he had been swirled by the giant tongue of the golden toad, he was completely unharmed. This was the beginner level of Iron Shirt.
It seems I need to practice martial arts more in the future; it could really save my life in a critical moment.
This is just the beginning. There are minor success, major success, and great perfection. When you reach the limit, it's no less than having an extra superpower.
"Clang clang clang!"
A swarm of piranhas approached Wang Ce, biting him and making a clanging sound. Some of the smaller fish even broke their teeth from biting too hard.
Wang Ce felt that he was merely a little annoyed.
"It seems that first-tier or even second-tier creatures can hardly harm me anymore. Even a third-tier golden toad can be resisted when I use Iron Shirt."
Wang Ce had a clear understanding of his own body. Among those of the same level, even mutated animals, he could be said to be an invincible being in terms of physical strength.
Putting aside his special abilities, he could basically sweep away all beings at the same level of life.
"Thump!"
Whenever Wang Ce tried to leave the water, he would be pulled back by the golden toad.
"This toad has gotten smarter; it's trying to suffocate me underwater!"
"Besides, it's consuming my energy; maintaining Iron Shirt takes a considerable amount of energy!"
Wang Ce instantly understood the golden toad's intention and immediately leaped out of the water again.
As expected, the golden toad tried to drag Wang Ce into the water again, but this time, Wang Ce was prepared and had already taken off his shoes in the water.
"Eagle Claw Kung Fu!"
Wang Ce used his foot to tear off a section of the golden toad's tongue, then quickly leaped out of the water and ran towards the roof of a building.
He has no advantage fighting in the water; he needs to move the battlefield to land.
The golden toad pursued relentlessly. Seeing Wang Ce running away, it launched itself forward again, grabbing at Wang Ce at an even faster speed.
"This golden toad is too fast. I can't escape it at all. It's wearing me down and trying to wear me down to death."
Wang Ce was slapped into the water by the golden toad, but in the instant the toad's webbed feet hit his body, he saw a golden label on the toad's left hind foot!
