Chapter 66 There is an old Chinese saying
The gunfire behind him grew increasingly intense, but Wang Ce's gaze remained fixed on the golden words in front of him.
"He stopped!"
Wang Ce noticed that Toyota, which was speeding westward, suddenly stopped and then quickly hid behind an ancient tree.
"He's testing why I'm able to track him so accurately!"
Wang Ce's mind raced, and he decided to play along, continuing his pursuit as if he hadn't noticed anything amiss.
Behind the ancient tree, Feng Tianxiu was initially panting heavily, but then quickly calmed his heartbeat and secretly observed Wang Ce's reaction.
"Damn Chinese, how did he find me? Does he have some kind of special ability too?"
"How could such a powerful figure have emerged from the settlement in the south, which we only crossed over to recently?"
When Toyota Hidehara saw that Wang Ce had ignored him and run a few steps forward, he looked around like a headless fly.
He immediately realized that Wang Ce didn't have any tracking skills at all; he was just lucky to have spotted him.
"You're just a second-tier cultivator, yet you dare to chase me? You're overestimating yourself!"
"Fireball!"
Having ascertained Wang Ce's life level, Toyoda Hidehara felt much more at ease and no longer concealed himself, launching a surprise attack from behind.
"Soaring Ladder!"
Having anticipated this, Wang Ce decisively changed position the instant Toyota Hidehara made his move.
Zhang Luoyan burned the second-tier Kuosang to a crisp with a single fireball spell; this little devil will only get stronger.
He feigned weakness to deplete the enemy's energy.
"Bang!"
Wang Ce fired his gun decisively, but Toyota Hidehara dodged it and quickly closed in on Wang Ce, not giving him a chance to fire a second shot.
Although the gun might not kill him unless it hits a vital organ, it still has a significant impact on the operation.
Therefore, his initial tactic was to use fireballs to ambush Wang Ce, hoping to kill him in one blow.
If a kill cannot be achieved in one shot, then one must quickly get close to Wang Ce and not give him a chance to fire a second shot.
In Toyota Hidehara's view, once he seized the weapon, Wang Ce, whose life level was only at the second tier, would be no match for him at all.
"Die!"
Toyota Hidehara suddenly produced a kunai and thrust it into Wang Ce's chest.
"You little devil, you've fallen for our trap!"
Wang Ce deflected a straight punch, sending blood mist flying from Toyota Hidehara's mouth and nose, causing his head to tilt backward.
Before Toyota Hidehara could react, Wang Ce kicked him in the throat and simultaneously activated his Eagle Claw Kung Fu.
"what!"
Toyota Hidehara's left arm, which was blocking Wang Ce's attack, was directly broken by the Eagle Claw Kung Fu, making a crisp cracking sound. His entire left arm hung down unnaturally, and his face was contorted in pain.
"Fireball!"
Even after suffering the pain of losing an arm, Toyota Hidehara still unleashed a fireball technique, blasting it towards Wang Ce, who was standing right next to him.
"Iron Shirt!"
Wang Ce's Iron Shirt technique has now reached a minor level of mastery, but he still feels an unbearable heat from the flames in front of him, and he can already smell the burning smell of the rattan armor.
The black short-sleeved shirt inside the rattan armor was burned to ashes.
"Snap!"
The rattan armor woven from bamboo and wood from Longmen shattered, and Wang Ce felt as if his skin had been scalded by boiling water and then whipped several times, burning with pain.
Since practicing Iron Shirt, he had almost forgotten what it felt like to have superficial injuries, and he was still quite wary of this fireball technique.
Wang Ce was merely wary, but Toyota Hidehara's mentality nearly collapsed. His proud fireball technique could burn anything into charcoal.
Wang Ce took the hit squarely, but seemed to have no reaction at all.
"run!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Toyota Hidehara had lost the courage to continue fighting. Even his strongest trump card had failed to kill Wang Ce, and he was now terrified.
"Ahem!"
Wang Ce did not pursue him, firstly because the burns on his body were more severe than they appeared on the surface.
After all, it was close range, and he took a solid hit from a third-tier ability user. If he hadn't mastered the Iron Shirt skill, he probably would have been burned to a crisp.
Secondly, in the direction Toyota Hidehara fled in his panic, there was also an entry for "meat sausage"!
Clearly, there was another person hiding in that location, probably a backup plan arranged by Hidehara Toyoda, or a survivor of the Haneda danchi who had turned back from the front.
"Gurgle—"
As Toyota Hidehara was running, one of his heads flew into the air, rolled several times on the ground, and then fell to the ground.
Looking at the motionless entry next to Hidehara Toyota, "[Meat Sausage Being Synthesized]", Wang Ce swallowed hard. It turned out to be an invisibility ability.
His physical condition is very poor right now. Liao Shisan lost his grip during the fight just now and is still more than ten meters away from him.
All his offensive methods are melee combat; he has no ranged attacks. Given his current physical condition, it will be very difficult for him to defeat this superhuman who can become invisible.
"Who is this person, and why did he kill Toyota Hidehara? Could he be Zhang Luoyan's third uncle?"
Wang Ce felt that his physical condition was very poor. Without making a sound, he held the third-tier crystal core of the golden toad in his hand and secretly began to heal his injuries.
He felt that the Iron Shirt technique had improved after being burned like that. He had previously achieved a minor level of mastery of the Iron Shirt technique because he was bitten by piranhas. Could this be a self-torture martial art?
I was able to withstand Toyota Hidehara's fireball technique this time thanks to Xiao Cheng's Iron Shirt. It seems I still need to perfect my mastery of the three martial arts.
Those low-level crystal cores are not very useful for advancing one's life level, but they can be used to practice martial arts.
"Buzz—"
The once tranquil mountain forest was suddenly filled with a woman dressed in a black short-sleeved shirt. With a swift and skillful motion, she removed a yellow crystal core from Toyota Hidehara's body.
He then slowly stood up and looked at the motionless Wang Ce.
"Chinese? I remember there's an old Chinese saying—"
Wang Ce's eyelids twitched. He was all too familiar with this old saying, because Huang Feipeng had just said the same thing.
The moment the woman raised her face, Wang Ce's heart skipped a beat. It was Kurokawa Yuko!
She was clearly a treacherous accomplice just now, how did she come back to life?
The old saying goes: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"
Wang Ce secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't what he had expected.
"Are you Yuko Kurokawa? How many of you are there, and how do you plan to distribute the spoils?"
Wang Ce's body has recovered to some extent. Kurokawa Yuko's life level is also at the second level. Her biggest advantage is that she can become invisible, but this advantage is almost ineffective in front of him.
The gold entry for "[Meat Sausage Being Synthesized]" is so bright it's like a light bulb; it's impossible not to see it.
"Yuko Kurokawa is my older sister. She was killed by Hidehara Toyota. I am Yoshiko Kurokawa. We need a stable living environment. You also came from the south, right? I want to join you!"
Wang Ce's injuries had mostly healed, and he breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "This is non-negotiable. Let's change the terms."
"You know that our two countries have different positions, and I absolutely cannot accept you."
Yuko Kurokawa nodded, her eyes immediately welling up with tears. Wang Ce couldn't stand this kind of thing, but he absolutely couldn't agree to it.
Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts, especially in this perilous world. He doesn't even fully trust the people in the industrial park, let alone foreigners.
"We should put aside the barriers we had before the journey, because in this place, there are only the two of us from different time-traveling organizations."
Wang Ce shook his head and laughed, "There are quite a few cases of people traveling through time due to sinkhole incidents. Just the ones I know of include residential areas, hotels, office buildings, urban villages, and highways. You're not going to tell me they're all dead, are you?"
Yoshiko Kurokawa shook her head and pointed to the north, saying, "I believe you have explored this as well. There is a great river to the south, which is absolutely impossible to cross. Even the Black Eagle Clan could not cross it, let alone us."
"To the west is a swamp, and beyond that is a river. To the east are towering mountains. We even tried to climb them, but the higher we went, the harsher the environment became. The entire south was a dead end."
"Because of several major floods, we migrated north. My father died in the primeval forest in the north, where there were even more powerful creatures."
"Our only hope is to break through to the north!"
Wang Ce's eyes darkened. If that was the case, there was indeed no need to turn Kurokawa Yoshiko away.
Wang Ce reasoned that there must be many time-traveling forces here, and if he accepted the Japanese, he would definitely be criticized by his compatriots.
But if this place is a dead end, then it is indeed necessary to unite and work together to find a way out.
"Brother Ce, you're really something! We're fighting that tiger to the death, and you're here picking up girls. What if Manager Zhang—"
"Holy crap, it's a ghost!"
The moment Huang Feipeng saw Kurokawa Yoshiko, he was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and his previous playful expression vanished completely.
