Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Standing before the pit, Vincent sniffed hard, and after a moment, he nodded at Qin Tian.

”This is the place, the concentration of toxins inside is significantly higher than outside.”

After speaking, Vincent saw Qin Tian blink — the meaning was very clear.

This is your opportunity, what are you waiting for?

Taking the hint, Vincent immediately jumped into the cave, but moments later, Vincent’s spiritual fluctuations reached Qin Tian’s ears.

”Hey, I think you guys should come over and take a look. We seem to have discovered something incredible...”

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian was first stunned, then hurriedly rushed into the cave.

...

The cave was dark, like a naturally formed dilapidated pit. However, the deeper they went, the more orderly the surrounding walls became, until after walking about several kilometers, the walls became the same metal material as the battle puppets outside.

When Qin Tian saw Vincent, he found Vincent standing in front of a steel door, scratching his chin as if contemplating something.

”What’s the situation?”

Qin Tian was the first to ask, and after thinking for a moment, Vincent gave an answer.

”Inside, there’s something inside. I can feel it, the toxin concentration behind this door spikes to a terrifying level.”

The two exchanged glances and instantly made up their minds.

...

”Sizzle~~~ Sizzle~~~”

The piercing sound of corrosion arose, accompanied by billows of green smoke, as the remaining members of Qin Tian’s team hurriedly covered their noses and mouths, trying to keep a distance from Vincent, the major source of toxins.

Vincent, at that moment, had purple patterns appearing on his body, and his entire right hand had turned a deep purple. He raised his right hand and vigorously rubbed the steel door, and along with the sound of corrosion, deep pits visible to the naked eye appeared on the door.

Being able to seal the internal source of toxins showed the steel door’s strong anti-corrosion capabilities, but in front of the Limit Breakthrough Level Vincent, this kind of obstacle was just a matter of time!

The dense toxic liquid began to spread, even with Qin Tian’s abilities, he felt a wave of dizziness and nausea, stepped back two paces, while slowly extending his bone sword.

As the steel door grew thinner, Qin Tian could already hear some mechanical operating sound inside...

About three minutes later, with a crisp ”Kala kala” sound, the entire steel door crumbled instantly like tofu, and Vincent rolled cleanly and nimbly to Qin Tian’s feet right after finishing the task.

And Qin Tian, his sword had already gathered Sword Qi...

...

”Boom!”

Scarlet energy waves shot out from the burst in the door, and Qin Tian just swung his sword expressionlessly. Accompanied by the fierce Sword Light, a series of shattering sounds immediately echoed from inside the door, and before these sounds faded, Qin Tian had already charged inside the door.

The rest of the team followed closely behind.

The commotion inside the door came swiftly and quietly faded away. When everything settled, Qin Tian stood among a pile of parts, his brow furrowed slowly.

”Level 10 Limit Breakthrough Level, comparable to physical fitness of around a million.”

Vincent added on the side.

”Twelve in quantity, it’s already a strong configuration.”

Twelve million-level puppets naturally didn’t kick up any waves in Qin Tian’s team, but in the eyes of regular professionists, this was an insurmountable peak.

Qin Tian keenly sensed that he might have found something remarkable.

He didn’t sheath his sword, just gestured, and once again pressed forward.

...

Two more waves of attacks followed, with a similar configuration to before. For the exploration team, although it was an obstacle, it was not particularly troubling.

After handling the two rounds of assaults, Qin Tian’s team stood neatly before another steel door.

Vincent stepped forward alone, with purple light glowing from his hand again.

Corrode, breakthrough...

If all went as usual, the same thing should happen as before.

As the purple light grew denser, the steel door immediately began to crease, the top part of the steel melting swiftly, and the iron water dripped onto the ground, its massive corrosive power melting the surface, emitting billows of green smoke.

Suddenly, however, the steel door shuddered unexpectedly.

This sight made everyone’s pupils contract. Vincent wanted to retreat but saw the steel door in front of him abruptly explode, countless iron shards like sharp blades spiraled up, rapidly swirling toward everyone!

Purely physical attacks posed no threat to anyone in the team, but with the sweeping steel storm, a nearly three-meter tall humanoid battle puppet stepped out, its scarlet electronic eyes scanning in all directions.

It raised its right hand, where a pale blue energy brewed relentlessly; Qin Tian managed to lower himself just in time for the pale blue energy wave to shoot out instantly!

This blast was meant for Qin Tian, but Qin Tian’s instinctive reaction saved his life! The energy stream grazed Qin Tian’s scalp and promptly hit a team member behind him.

”Ah...”

A shorter scream echoed, and Vincent could see the member hit by the blue energy wave just opened his mouth before his body melted instantly, quickly turning into a pool of blue meat paste.

This scene sent chills down Vincent’s spine, but more terrifying developments followed in quick succession.

The blue energy stream, after melting the first team member, surprisingly began drifting upward from the meat paste, once again coalescing into an energy stream, and swiftly flew toward another target!

Meanwhile, the battle puppet raised its right hand once more.

...

Within just one second, the entire pit was already enveloped by Blue Light, and the remaining eight team members were immediately picked off one by one by the battle puppet. Although Vincent and Qin Tian survived the initial onslaught, they couldn’t see any hope of surviving.

In the face of crisis, Qin Tian swiftly crushed the Jade Pendant hanging on his chest, and in the next moment, endless Blue Light surged forward, thoroughly enveloping Qin Tian; meanwhile, Vincent seemed to have something tricky, his body turned into viscous toxic liquid, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, observing everything here.

The Blue Light seemed to have no great effect on the toxic liquid, allowing Vincent to narrowly escape this slaughter, and to witness the next scene unfold.

As the Jade Pendant shattered, a stream of gray energy instantly drifted out from it. This gray energy stream briefly surveyed everything around, then quickly identified a target, shot towards the battle puppet.

’Boom~~’

A sound like a bell rang out, the gray energy stream moved with lightning speed, shooting at the battle puppet’s energy core, but it encountered fierce resistance halfway!
