Our factory traveled through time

Chapter 69 Black Turtle

"Found treasure? What treasure?"

Wang Ce was a little curious because he had explored the riverbed formed by the flood a few times and found that there were indeed quite a few first-tier and even second-tier water beasts. But that didn't exactly make him rich, did it?

Even a third-tier crystal core only has some value to him now, far from being a pleasant surprise.

"There's a stranded fourth-tier water beast in the mud!"

Wang Ce looked at the messenger with suspicion. This was indeed a worker from Sheng Hong, and he also had the golden attribute "[Meat Sausage Being Synthesized]" on him.

"Are you kidding me? We've never even seen a fourth-tier water beast before. How could such a terrifying creature be stranded?"

Even Huang Feipeng didn't believe it, let alone anyone else. Zhang Luoyan stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "Let's talk as we walk. What's the situation now?"

The worker gestured excitedly, saying, "Manager Zhang, it's like this, the tide is out now, and everyone is cleaning up the water monsters along the river."

"We managed to snag quite a few stranded or buried ones and made a good profit from them."

"Just now, Factory Director Xiao Yong tripped and fell, hitting his forehead and getting a bump. Then he realized he was stepping on a giant tortoise."

"That turtle was huge, at least ten meters in diameter, with only the tip of its shell sticking out of the ground, and a head peeking out not far away."

"Luneng said its aura was terrifying, much stronger than that golden toad, and it was most likely a water beast at the fourth level of life."

"This thing is still alive, so we didn't dare to get too close. We came back to let you know and see what to do."

When the group arrived, they saw a large crowd gathered around the giant crow, with even Guo Ping'an and Yang Miao watching from a distance.

However, no one was foolish enough to get close, since they couldn't even handle a third-tier opponent, let alone a fourth-tier one.

"Let's bypass this giant black turtle and continue clearing the river. Six people per group, and be careful!"

Wang Ce ordered the evacuation of the crowd. In the industrial park now, everyone is a first-tier evolver, and a few second-tier evolvers have also appeared one after another. Some people are even close to becoming third-tier evolvers.

The area south of the Hengduan Mountains has been thoroughly explored by Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng, so there shouldn't be any major safety issues.

The other workers didn't have time to join in the fun; they were all busy acquiring crystal cores.

Because Shenghong only takes 30%, even if they hand over 50% to their own factories, many people still feel there is great hope.

As for whether anyone might hoard it, there's absolutely no need to worry. After all, your life level can't increase for no reason, and if you secretly use it, you'll definitely be discovered.

If you don't use it secretly, then hiding it is useless, and you'll just be living in fear of being discovered.

Obtaining what is due honestly and handing over what is due, ordinary workers who are used to a stable life are more accustomed to surviving and calculating within the rules.

"Manager Wang, what should we do with this Xuan Turtle? How about we get some CNC machines and just blow it up?"

Zhou Li adjusted his glasses, but he was calculating the value of this Xuan Turtle. Besides the crystal core, the turtle shell was also a treasure.

Wang Ce glared at him and said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense! We are no longer the absolute overlords of the ecosystem. We must maintain a sense of awe when facing unknown creatures."

"What if they understand? They could turn around and wipe you out, and you'd have no recourse."

"This black tortoise is now fully above the water and hasn't run away yet. Either it has some unspeakable secret, or it disdains to run away. Let's try to make contact first and not act rashly."

They had heard about Wang Ce's caution beforehand, and although they thought he was making a mountain out of a molehill, no one had yet made any sarcastic remarks.

Zhang Luoyan had previously stated that she would follow Wang Ce's command in all tactical operations.

People with personalities like Wang Ce or Huang Feipeng might be able to play tricks and laugh it off, but they really wouldn't dare to do that to Zhang Luoyan.

"Turtles should eat meat. Go and get some meat, and see if it will eat it."

Wang Ce waved his hand, and the workers behind him immediately went to get the meat. Meat was plentiful at the moment, so there was no need to be so frugal.

It wasn't that Wang Ce was making a mountain out of a molehill, but rather that there were golden words on the turtle's body!

[Turtle Breathing Exercise: An introductory practice for cultivators, it can prolong life, eliminate illness and worries, and has outstanding effects!]

Unlike his three martial arts techniques, this is a cultivation method. A Xuan Turtle carrying a cultivation method on its back cannot be a simple character.

"Captain Wang, this is dire wolf meat, killed by the hunting team today, it's very fresh!"

Wang Ce used a drone to suspend the dire wolf meat and airdrop it in front of the Xuan Turtle. The Xuan Turtle's eyes opened instantly, then slowly closed, seemingly uninterested.

"Hey, this black tortoise is quite picky about food, Brother Ce, it doesn't eat wolf meat!"

Huang Feipeng clicked his tongue in amazement. With so many people in the park, their hunting harvest was indeed quite substantial, but when spread out, it was only a modest living, not a wealthy one.

"Do you need to tell me? Can't I see? Go get some fish."

Soon, the drone dropped the fish meat in front of the black tortoise, but it remained unmoved.

"Brother Ce, is it because our life level is too low that the Xuan Turtle doesn't want us?"

Zhao Jiajia followed Huang Feipeng's address and brought over a piece of tiger meat, which was a third-tier tiger that she had hunted in the Yutian Group.

As expected, they didn't even react to the tiger meat. Huang Feipeng couldn't help but mutter, "They won't eat this or that, could it be that they want to eat the crystal core?"

"Buzz—"

The Xuan Turtle suddenly turned its gaze to the crowd, and a powerful mental pressure swept over them instantly. This was an absolute superior being, and there was no way to resist it.

"Thump!"

Several first-level workers, unable to withstand the immense pressure, collapsed to the ground, their faces pale.

"call out!"

Wang Ce casually took out a first-tier crystal core and flew it straight towards the Xuan Turtle, which finally opened its mouth.

As if it had eyes, the crystal core tilted slightly and entered its mouth, instantly dissipating the oppressive aura surrounding everyone.

"Senior Xuan Turtle, you can't leave right now, can you? We basically control the entire area south of the Hengduan Mountains."

"We can fence off this area, and we can even build you a pavilion to shelter you from the wind and rain."

"If you want crystal cores, we've even discovered a crystal core mine that can supply your needs for a long time."

"In exchange, we humbly request that Senior Xuan Turtle protect our survival and reproduction to the best of your ability!"

"If you agree, then take those three pieces of meat away from you!"

Wang Ce suspected that the Xuan Turtle's life level was probably more than the fourth level. Its mere aura was enough to make them feel extremely oppressed, indicating that the other party had reached a level beyond their imagination.

This flood was more violent than any before, and it's likely that the Xuan Turtle was washed out by the flood.

"puff--"

The dire wolf meat, fish meat, and tiger meat vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The speed was so fast that they didn't even have time to react, and they didn't know whether they were eaten by the Xuan Turtle or blown away by it.

"It shattered instantly into countless particles, vanishing into nothingness!"

Upon hearing Zhang Luoyan's words, everyone's eyelids twitched wildly. This was beyond their understanding; the Xuan Turtle was truly terrifying, worthy of being worshipped as an evil god.
