Our factory traveled through time

Chapter 40 Iron Shirt

From the moment Wang Ce observed the ball of light flying towards him, to the moment his body reacted, his subconscious action was to push Zhang Luoyan away.

After making this move, Wang Ce was somewhat taken aback. His instinct should have been to roll away from his original position.

But for some reason, he inexplicably pushed Zhang Luoyan out.

Even more incredibly, he missed with his palm strike.

Zhang Luoyan actually moved her body forward a bit, stretching out her arms to form an arc, subtly appearing to protect Wang Ce's head.

Even his usually aloof face showed a moment of surprise.

"puff!"

Wang Ce didn't even have time to react. In the blink of an eye, the ball of light pierced through Zhang Luoyan's head.

Suddenly, a bright light burst forth from the area above its head, brief and rapid, while the surrounding wind felt like it was being cut by knives.

"Zhang Luoyan!"

Wang Ce stood up instantly, then grabbed Zhang Luoyan and ran away without hesitation.

He glanced at Zhang Luoyan's head out of the corner of his eye; it seemed intact, without any signs of a shattered head or splattered brains.

However, his eyes were closed, so his condition was unknown.

However, now is not the time to look at that. He was only sixty meters away from Black Hawk King and Ancient Crocodile, which was far too close.

Although only the Black Hawk King remained of the Black Hawk clan, his aerial advantage was enormous, and he probably wouldn't even need three seconds to catch up with him.

"Snap!"

Just as Black Hawk King was about to give chase, he saw the Ancient Crocodile King on the ground flash its vertical pupils, then suddenly leap up and bite Black Hawk King's neck.

Then came the classic death roll. Black Hawk King flapped his wings, but it was too late. In just a few breaths, he was completely still.

The ancient crocodile king and the remaining dozen or so ancient crocodiles quickly pursued Wang Ce.

At this moment, Huang Feipeng realized what was happening and quickly ordered, "Quickly throw grenades!"

Wang Ce was startled and immediately shouted, "Screw you, shoot first!"

At such close range, would the grenade blow up yourself or the crocodile?

"Bang bang bang!"

Although bolt-action rifles cannot match the rate of fire of automatic rifles, they are much better than flintlock rifles, and their rate of fire is not slow.

The dense bullets flew out like popping beans, crackling and popping.

At first, some people were shooting randomly, but when they realized that these dozen or so ancient crocodiles had been almost riddled with holes and were unable to advance an inch, their confidence soared.

This Liaoning No. 13 is a copy of the Mauser, a famous rifle from World War II, and is made with a modern machining tolerance of less than five μm.

As long as you look at the sight through the peephole, keep the three points in a straight line, and with proper shoulder support and such a close distance, it's hard to miss.

"Throw a grenade with a wooden handle!"

Actually, more than a dozen ancient crocodiles were already on the verge of death, but now that we have plenty of ammunition, we can just unleash a barrage of firepower.

A tremendous roar continued to resound, and the forest in front was blasted into a hazy, gray expanse, like a green maze.

After Wang Ce laid Zhang Luoyan flat, he took the time to check on her injuries.

"That's strange. I saw it hit the head with my own eyes, how come he's completely unharmed?"

"Breathing normal, pulse normal, heartbeat—Holy crap, why are my eyes open?!"

Wang Ce was startled when he saw Zhang Luoyan suddenly open her eyes. He completely forgot that his hand was on Zhang Luoyan's chest, feeling her heartbeat.

Suddenly, Wang Ce turned his gaze to the area covered by grenade fire. In the hazy dust, a golden entry stood out.

"shooting!"

A hail of bullets enveloped the area, but the ancient crocodile king, still radiating blue light, charged out of the forest.

Once it gets close, these ordinary people will be slaughtered.

"Get some rest, leave the rest to me!"

Wang Ce put Zhang Luoyan down, then his body shot out like a drawn bow.

"Oh!"

With just one kick, Wang Ce sent the ancient crocodile king, which was in mid-air, doing a backflip.

This shocking scene left the workers from the five factories speechless, some rubbing their eyes in disbelief.

"Did I see that right? The Ancient Crocodile King, whose life level has reached the second stage, was kicked over by Captain Wang?"

"Although this ancient crocodile is already seriously injured, it is still a being that has reached the second level of life. It can only be said that Captain Wang is still the best."

To outsiders, Wang Ce's kick just now looked very stylish, but only Wang Ce himself knew that he only had the advantage of greater strength.

This ancient crocodile king was like an iron plate; it was impossible to kick it. No wonder the Black Eagle King had been holding it for so long without being able to kill it.

So many bullets just now, yet they didn't cause any serious injury; this defensive capability is indeed somewhat beyond what's expected.

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

Wang Ce charged forward with his Tang sword, but his eyes were fixed on the giant crocodile's gaping maw. Ice pillars would be released from there, and he had to be careful.

Clearly, the Ancient Crocodile King had exhausted its strength after fighting the Black Eagle King, and was now even considering retreating, preparing to run back.

"Gurgle!"

Wang Ce threw the wooden-handled grenade into the mouth of the ancient crocodile king, swinging it with tremendous force until it got stuck in the crocodile's throat. He then quickly pulled away and retreated.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the mighty ancient crocodile king lay motionless on the ground like a dead fish.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the third hunting and gathering route was basically open.

Moreover, so many ancient crocodiles and black eagles are more than enough to feed them for a while.

At least for the time being, there's no need to worry about not having enough to eat.

"Wait a minute, be careful when clearing the bodies. Fire two shots at each body first, and only approach if there's no reaction."

Many people didn't take it seriously, thinking that Wang Ce was so strong, but they didn't expect him to be so cowardly.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Holy crap, the ancient crocodile king moved! That bastard faked his death!"

"He didn't even die completely with a hand grenade in his mouth; his vitality is incredible!"

This time, no one thought Wang Ce was cowardly; it was clearly a sign of his composure and steadiness.

Wang Ce cautiously stepped forward to deliver the final blow. This ancient crocodile king was actually beyond saving; the reason it faked its death was probably to take him down with it before it died.

Fortunately, I am cautious in my actions, otherwise I might have really made a mistake.

After killing the ancient crocodile king, Wang Ce stared blankly at its corpse. He saw the golden inscription floating above the crocodile king's body.

So here's the question: where is the cultivation technique?

Looking back at the crowd, Wang Ce noticed Zhang Luoyan staring at him with a complicated expression, and a thought struck him.

Zhang Luoyan's instinctive act of shielding me from the ball of light just now probably means she has feelings for me.

It's just that she comes from a good family and received a good education from a young age, so she's too ashamed to tell him.

Just as Wang Ce was about to speak confidently, Zhang Luoyan raised her chin, glanced at Wang Ce, and said:

"Don't flatter yourself and think that I was just risking my life for love and taking the blame for you. I was just after that black and white spirit fruit."

"I've changed a lot now, but we'll talk about that when we get back. Right now, everyone's involved in cleaning up the battlefield."

"We can't go back tonight. Let's loot all the meat and make a fire to spend the night!"

"Huang Feipeng, go and bring Zhao Jiajia and the others from Black Hawk's lair over here first."

Watching Zhang Luoyan methodically arranging the cleanup of the battlefield, Wang Ce awkwardly touched his nose. Had he guessed wrong?

Luckily he didn't say anything, otherwise that would have been really awkward.

To avoid appearing foolish, Wang Ce walked to the corpse of the Ancient Crocodile King and dissected it himself, wanting to see where the golden inscription of Iron Shirt was hidden.

Seeing that Wang Ce actually believed it and went to dissect the ancient crocodile king on his own, Zhang Luoyan secretly curled her lips and muttered something to herself.

"This crystal core is orange! It seems that the life level has reached the second stage, and the energy of the crystal core is even more abundant."

Wang Ce's eyes lit up, and he continued dissecting. When he reached the lumbar vertebrae, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Snap!"

The ancient crocodile king had two lumbar vertebrae, which Wang Ce broke off and removed. On the lumbar vertebrae in his hand, a row of small golden characters appeared.
