Chapter 9: Show You Something Good
"The Dragon-Singing Golden Toad is extremely aggressive and highly territorial.
Once it detects our presence, it will definitely attack us!" Yu Xiaogang warned.
"And the Golden Toad is exceptional in attack, defense, and speed.
It has no obvious weaknesses, making it nearly impossible for us to defeat it right now."
"But that's not the worst part.
The most terrifying aspect of this soul beast is its cry!"
"A cry?" Tang San asked, confused.
"Is there something special about its call?"
"The call of the Dragon-Singing Golden Toad is very similar to a dragon's roar, which is how it got its name! More importantly, when it makes its call, it forces all nearby creatures into a state of dizziness. It's essentially a nightmare in close combat," Yu Xiaogang explained.
"So, Little San, although it's unfortunate, you should give up on this Mandala Snake spirit ring.
We need to find another one," Yu Xiaogang concluded, frustrated.
Tang San felt disappointed.
Although suitable soul rings were available, finding the right one was never guaranteed.
However, risking their lives for one soul ring was not worth it.
"Hehe, Master, Little San, we don't have to leave just yet!" Qi Ling interjected with a grin.
"Since it's a nightmare in melee combat, why not deal with it from a distance?"
"Oh? Qi Ling, do you have a plan to deal with the Dragon-Singing Golden Toad?" Yu Xiaogang asked, surprised. Tang San also looked hopeful.
"Absolutely! Let me show you something impressive!" Qi Ling said, pulling out a Barrett sniper rifle from his infinite space.
When the imposing and dark Barrett sniper rifle was revealed, both Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were stunned into silence.
They didn't recognize the weapon, but its sheer presence conveyed a powerful and deadly aura.
"Qi Ling, what is this thing?" Yu Xiaogang asked.
"Can it really take down the Dragon-Singing Golden Toad?"
"Definitely! One shot will leave nothing but ashes!" Qi Ling assured them confidently.
"This is a Barrett sniper rifle, a special soul tool."
"This sniper rifle has an effective range of over 4,000 meters, well beyond the Golden Toad's sensing range," Qi Ling explained.
"The only problem is ensuring we hit it. I only have two bullets."
[System Alert: The host is about to use a soul tool.
A selection task has been triggered. Please choose from the following options!]
[Option 1: Shoot yourself, with a 50% success rate. Reward: One additional bullet for the Barrett sniper rifle.
Option 2: Let Tang San shoot, with a 99% success rate. Reward: God-level pupil technique: Fiery Eyes, and Tang San's favorability +5%.]
Given the choice, the second option was clearly better. Tang San's expertise with hidden weapons and the potential reward made it the obvious choice.
Qi Ling selected option two without hesitation.
[System Alert: Congratulations to the host for choosing option 2: Tang San to shoot. Reward: God-level pupil technique: Fiery Eyes, and Tang San's favorability +5%.]
"Little San, here it is!" Qi Ling handed the Barrett sniper rifle to Tang San.
"It's your turn to take the shot!"
"Me?" Tang San asked, taking the rifle.
It felt solid and powerful.
"But I've never used something like this before!"
"Hey, there's a first time for everything, I believe in you.
Just go for it!" Qi Ling encouraged, beginning to explain how to operate the sniper rifle.
As someone who was deeply interested in hidden weapons, Tang San was excited to try out this new weapon. He quickly set up the rifle, aimed, and activated the full power of his Purple Demon Eye to lock onto the Golden Toad.
"The Dragon-Singing Golden Toad is very alert.
If it notices us, it will only make the Mandala Snake more cautious," Qi Ling advised.
"And the only opportunity to attack is when the Toad makes its cry. That will be when it's most vulnerable. We need to use the Toad's attack to subdue the Mandala Snake. If the snake escapes, our efforts will be in vain."
Maintaining the Purple Demon Eye was exhausting, but the confrontation between the Mandala Snake and the Golden Toad quickly reached a critical point.
The Mandala Snake, unable to withstand the pressure, attacked first, its body striking like a sword.
However, the Golden Toad's reflexes were faster.
As the Mandala Snake lunged, the Toad vanished and reappeared with a wound on its prey.
Seeing the snake's blood in the Toad's mouth, Tang San realized how outmatched the Mandala Snake was.
"Get ready, Little San!" Qi Ling warned.
"The Golden Toad is about to make its cry!"
Sensing defeat, the Mandala Snake tried to flee, but the Golden Toad was prepared.
Before the snake could escape, the Toad opened its mouth, and a dragon-like roar filled the air.
It was surreal a toad emitting a dragon's roar.
The Mandala Snake was instantly paralyzed, falling into a daze.
"Now, Little San!" Qi Ling urged. "Shoot!"
Tang San, ready and focused, pulled the trigger.
The bullet sped towards the Golden Toad with incredible velocity, hitting it squarely in the head.
The Golden Toad's body, already small, was obliterated, leaving only the lower half writhing on the ground.
"We did it! Haha!" Qi Ling exclaimed, elated.
"Let's go, Little San! Collect your spirit ring before the Mandala Snake recovers and escapes."
