Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 112 Advanced Buildings
I heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairwell behind me.

The family of three carefully made their way onto the rooftop, where they saw Qin Ziwen and the others already there. They quickened their pace and retreated to the other side of the rooftop, keeping their distance.

The little girl, held tightly in her father's arms, pointed her tiny finger at the moving "mountain" below, her voice filled with fear and curiosity: "Daddy, that frog is so big!"

"It...it's coming this way," the girl's mother said, her voice trembling. "Husband..."

As the pillar of the family, the man's Adam's apple bobbed as he forced himself to remain calm and reassured the family, "Don't be afraid, we're on higher ground here, it can't jump that high."

Hearing their conversation, Qin Ziwen's heart skipped a beat.

If this giant toad is indeed the mysterious monster from the cave, does its departure from the mountain mean there are no longer any guardian beasts in the cave?

It is extremely rare for a giant toad in a cave to grow to such a size.

It may be related to the living environment, causing it to mutate.

Either it has undergone an extremely rare mutation.

The encyclopedia states that the Stone Cave Giant Toad reaches adulthood at the age of thirty, and its size gradually increases with age after reaching adulthood.

Is it because it has lived for many years that this thing is so big?

Don't miss out!

With that in mind, Qin Ziwen felt it necessary to take advantage of the fact that it wasn't home to explore the area.

He put forward his idea, which was unanimously approved by everyone.

However, before that, we need to figure out the purpose of this giant toad in the stone cave. Its goal is clear: it is heading straight for the residential area.

It's unclear whether it's the residents of the community or the mayflies flying in the sky that attract it.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With a dull, loud thud, the giant toad's enormous body drew ever closer.

The entire neighborhood fell silent, shrouded in a deathly stillness.

Residents either huddled behind their windows or watched from a distance on the edge of the rooftop.

Previously, some people even dared to peek through the fence.

But as it got closer, the 2.2-meter-high iron railing suddenly looked as ridiculous as a child's toy, and it couldn't even reach the height it jumped.

"Boom——!!!"

It continued to leap forward along the straight line.

The massive figure, like a meteorite, flew over the fence and crashed into the residential area.

The floor tiles cracked and shattered instantly over a large area.

The crowd blocking his path had already scattered and taken refuge in the stairwell.

The giant toad lay prone in the shallow crater it had created, raising its ferocious head and silently gazing at the countless forest mayflies swirling and dancing in the air.

His cold, pale yellow pupils swept indifferently over his head.

Above, two forest mayflies, which were mating, flew low overhead.

In an instant, the giant toad opened its huge mouth, and a blur that was too fast for the naked eye to catch shot out through the air!

The two mayflies, which were still entangled in the sky, vanished from their spot in an instant.

The giant toad closed its mouth, and the grayish-brown vocal sacs on both sides of its head bulged high.

"Coo-quack!!!"

The dull croaking of toads, a mixture of dampness and the friction of rocks, boomed like a subwoofer, shaking the windows of nearby residents.

The mayflies that were still entangled above the residential area paused their movements.

Then they all flew away in unison.

Wherever the giant toad passed, mayflies scurried away.

Driven by it, the mayflies that were flying in the sky were gradually driven to the surface of the river.

The giant toad left the residential area without stopping and then jumped to the riverbank.

I lay quietly on the damp mud by the river, watching the mayflies still flying overhead.

As it departed, the intense sense of oppression dissipated. Qian Muzhen commented: "It seems it wasn't coming for us, but for these mayflies."

Qin Ziwu muttered to himself, "If we can hunt it down, we can probably get several cards."

"Forget about dropping any cards, let's go."

Qin Ziwen wasn't sure how long it would stay here, but while it was away, the most important thing was to go to the cave and retrieve the cards.

If there's still time, you can also take a look at its nest.

As they came downstairs, Qin Ziwu was still saying, "Brother, doesn't this look like a boss siege battle in a game? They've even jumped right into the residential area."

"I think you've been playing too many games. You can revive in games, but if you die here, there's no way I can revive you."

After getting ready, Qin Ziwen, Qin Ziwu, Li Tieshan, and Du Yu went up the mountain, while Doctor Qian, being too old, stayed at home.

The mountain roads along this route have been basically flattened.

Some of the steep slopes were difficult to walk on, but after the giant toad walked over them, the soil was compacted, making the road much easier to walk on than before.

Not long after Qin Ziwen and his group left, a group followed them out.

"Is it just ahead?"

"Yes, Brother Tao, I saw that bird fly away. They must have followed that bird."

"Brother Tao, shall we follow them?"

Standing at the entrance of the residential area, watching the bird about to disappear into the distant sky, Huang Tao pondered for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and declaring, "Follow!"

"That big toad came down from the mountain. They must be heading to the toad's nest. Let's go too!"

After following for a while, Huang Tao and his group got lost in the forest and had to turn back.

Viewing a forest from a distance and walking deep into it are two completely different things.

Moreover, there are many steep slopes and ravines along the way. What is a leap for the giant toad would require a long detour for a human.

If you're not familiar with the area, it's easy to get lost in the forest.

Three hours later, Qin Ziwen finally arrived at the cave entrance, took out his phone, turned up the camera zoom, and started filming deep inside the cave.

There is only a little blue light.

"Silly eagle, is it dangerous inside?" Qin Ziwen asked the harpy eagle again.

Upon hearing its master's call, the harpy eagle sauntered around the cave entrance twice, then turned back and howled twice at Qin Ziwen.

"It seems not." Qin Ziwen nodded.

"Brother, how did you understand that?!" Qin Ziwu was greatly shocked.

"Because if there is danger, it will bristle and won't be so relaxed."

"I see, brother, let me go this time." Qin Ziwu was eager to try.

Du Yu volunteered, "Sir, let me go."

"What's the rush? This time it's not just about getting the cards. If it really is its lair, leave one person outside to keep out the wind, and everyone else can go in." Qin Ziwen took out a flashlight and shone it on the cave ceiling.

"Squeak~"

Some bats couldn't stand the direct sunlight and kept cursing and snarling.

Move the flashlight away. "Have you noticed that there are fewer bats overhead in the cave? Not as many as before."

Qin Ziwu asked in surprise, "Were they all eaten by that giant toad?"

“Possibly.” Qin Ziwen looked at Du Yu. “Du Yu, you take the flashlight and go ahead. If there’s no danger, flash the flashlight a couple of times. The two of us will follow behind you.”

Du Yu walked about fifty meters ahead with a flashlight, followed by Qin Ziwu, while Li Tieshan kept watch outside.

Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and this was Qin Ziwen's first time visiting the altar deep within the cave.

This altar was indeed different from the altars we had seen before; it was not only larger but also looked more exquisite.

Climb up the altar and take down the card.
