Cooperation?
Tang Haofei might have thought that Wen Yu accidentally stumbled in, not knowing that Wen Yu actually had a cheat here, which is why he suggested a collaboration.
The reason is simple—two known limit breakers of the human race from Sequence One and Sequence Two cooperating to climb a few more floors and gain some benefits is a win-win situation.
However, the one-eyed creature, fully aware of the current situation, was very certain that Wen Yu had no possibility of cooperating with Tang Haofei.
Thus, the one-eyed creature merely chuckled to deflect the conversation and sent a mental wave back to Wen Yu.
“Big boss, I’ve blocked Tang Haofei.”
...
“Ha ha.”
Hearing the one-eyed creature’s somewhat self-congratulatory mental wave, Wen Yu chuckled lightly and then ignored the situation on the ground.
“Boom!”
A black energy wave, filled with immense power, struck the already shattered stone gate in an instant.
The stone gate, now riddled with cracks, seemed to reach its limit, emitting a “squeaking” sound before it collapsed with a bang.
Amidst the swirling dust and unknown stone debris, Wen Yu quietly surveyed the situation across from him.
After a while, Wen Yu sighed softly.
“Number Seven, standard equipment used by seventh-level professionists, level assessment is approximately at s-rank.”
Upon hearing the explanation from the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine nearby, Wen Yu immediately retorted,
“But even s-rank weapons and armor cannot withstand the test of time.”
Then, Wen Yu directly smashed a box with a punch, causing the ruined armor inside to clang and fall all over the ground.
Seeing this scene, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine suddenly became speechless.
...
“Continue.”
The grim state of the a-rank and s-rank item vault did not dampen Wen Yu’s exploratory desire—compared to the previous a-rank items, the s-rank items in front of him were still relatively “complete”—the so-called completeness merely meant that Wen Yu could discern what these scrap metals once were.
However, if the level were any higher, perhaps, just maybe, the sss rank items that the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine mentioned might leave behind a few usable things.
Regardless of the reason, there was no way Wen Yu would give up halfway.
In the next moment, an even deeper wave of dark energy erupted violently from Wen Yu’s fist.
Beside him, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, witnessing Wen Yu’s enthusiasm, shook its head and cheered him on like a cheerleader, boosting his spirits.
However, the true thoughts hidden deep within the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, which understood the entire Heavenly Palace Treasure Land, likely remained known only to itself.
...
“Brother Fei, the unknown energy fluctuations inside are growing stronger. It feels like some kind of seal is being broken continuously.”
Hearing a professionist’s report from behind, Tang Haofei nodded expressionlessly and then shifted his gaze towards the entrance of the palace.
With just a glance, the one-eyed creature immediately tensed up, almost losing control.
Old Tang's strength...
A simple comparison with the strength of the one-eyed creature and Xing.
Under the pressure of absolute power, every subtle movement from Tang Haofei would induce a strong sense of tension in the one-eyed creature.
“Woof woof, woof!”
“Brother Da Fei, let’s continue discussing that story about the canine divine beast species you saw a while ago!”
Tang Haofei looked at the one-eyed creature with a seemingly amused expression.
The one-eyed creature's actions were quite understandable in Tang Haofei's eyes—Wen Yu had discovered a treasure here, and asked the one-eyed creature and Xing to keep watch, while the one-eyed creature also knew what was inside, so it was just joking around with him.
Moreover, this unknown energy response was very concealed and bizarre—even Tang Haofei himself could find no clues regarding this unknown energy reaction. If it weren't for the special professionists cultivated by the military, capable of handling any situation, no one would suspect that beneath this abandoned forge lay a magnificent energy response.
