Standing in front of the cave, Vincent sniffed hard and nodded at Qin Tian after a moment.
"This is the place. The concentration of toxins inside is significantly higher than outside."
After speaking, Vincent saw Qin Tian squint his eyes—his meaning couldn't be clearer.
This is your opportunity, so what are you waiting for?
Vincent understood and immediately jumped into the cave. However, moments later, Vincent's mental fluctuation returned to Qin Tian's ears.
"Um, I think you guys should come see. We seem to have discovered something extraordinary..."
Qin Tian was taken aback at first, then hurriedly rushed into the cave.
...
The cave was dark, like a naturally formed decayed pit. However, the deeper they went, the cleaner the surrounding walls appeared. After walking for about several thousand meters, the walls turned into a metallic texture similar to the Battle Puppets outside.
When Qin Tian saw Vincent, he found Vincent standing in front of a massive steel door, stroking his chin as if deep in thought.
"What’s going on?"
Qin Tian asked first, and after a moment of thought, Vincent provided an answer.
"Inside, there’s something. I can sense it. The concentration of toxins behind this door has risen to a terrifying level."
The two exchanged glances and immediately made up their minds.
...
"Zizi~~~ Zizi~~~"
A harsh corrosive sound rang out, accompanied by swirling blue smoke. The remaining members of Qin Tian's team hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, trying to stay away from Vincent, the big source of poison.
At this moment, Vincent had purple patterns emerging all over his body, and his entire right hand had turned deep purple. He raised his right hand and vigorously rubbed against the steel door, and with the sound of corrosion, visible deep pits appeared on the steel door.
The steel door was capable of sealing the internal source of poison, proving its corrosion resistance was quite strong. However, in front of Vincent, whose physical attributes were in the millions, such obstacles were just a matter of spending more time to overcome!
Thick poison began to spread, and even Qin Tian felt a wave of dizziness. He took two steps back while slowly extending his Bone Sword.
As the steel door became thinner, Qin Tian could already hear the sound of some machinery operating inside...
About three minutes later, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, the entire steel door suddenly collapsed like tofu, turning into rubble. After doing all this, Vincent immediately performed a lazy roll and neatly rolled over to Qin Tian's feet.
Meanwhile, Qin Tian had already cultivated sword energy on his sword...
...
"Boom!"
A scarlet energy wave shot out from the breach in the door, and Qin Tian merely expressionlessly swung his sword. Accompanied by a sharp sword light, a series of cracking sounds came from inside the door. Before the sound dissipated, Qin Tian had already charged through the door.
The team members followed closely behind.
The activity inside the door came quickly and left just as fast. When everything calmed down, Qin Tian stood among a pile of parts, his brows slowly furrowing.
"Tenth level limit breaker, equivalent to a physical quality of about a million."
Vincent added beside him.
"Twelve of them, already a strong configuration."
Twelve puppets at the million level certainly wouldn't cause any stir in front of Qin Tian's team, but to regular practitioners, this was an insurmountable peak.
Qin Tian keenly sensed that he seemed to have found something extraordinary.
He didn’t sheath his sword but made a gesture and once again stepped forward.
...
After two more waves of attacks, with a configuration similar to the last time, it was more of an obstacle for the exploration team but not a real trouble.
After resolving the two rounds of attacks, Qin Tian's team members neatly stood in front of another steel door.
Vincent stepped forward alone, and purple light once again glowed in his hand.
Corrode, break through...
If everything went as usual, the same thing should happen as before.
