First update, asking for subscriptions, votes~~~~...

"What incredible strength..."

A faint silver hue appeared on the surface of Gagarin's body, looking like some kind of metallic sheen... However, at this moment, Gagarin was also emanating a very eerie aura, deterring those around him from approaching easily.

Yet, under this dual empowerment, Gagarin surprisingly withstood the pursuit of the Bronze Warrior, clashing blow for blow... Even though his steps were retreating, there were no obvious injuries.

"Get in there and grab the stuff..."

Having held off the attack of the Bronze Warrior, Gagarin gave his companions the time and opportunity they needed. With a command, Gatt sprang into the Dark Chamber, and shortly after emerged with a small gourd.

Bang~~

Gagarin was also keeping an eye on the situation, and seeing the item in hand, he clashed twice more with the Bronze Warrior, then retreated half a step... Taking this chance, Gagarin broke free from the pursuit range of the Bronze Warrior and quickly fled.

The others weren't foolish either; seeing the item secured, they immediately clustered around Gatt and escaped...

Although these people hadn't witnessed the slaughter by the Bronze Warriors on the second floor of the underground palace, the corpses lying everywhere were the best proof. Everyone knew how terrifying these Bronze Warriors were... Even someone like Gagarin, a Quasi-Grandmaster-level expert, could barely withstand them, much less the rest of them!

Very soon, Gagarin caught up with the subordinates, and Gatt reluctantly handed the precious item over to Gagarin...

"A Gourd of Elixirs?"

Removing the plug from the gourd's spout, a refreshing fragrance wafted out instantly, lifting spirits significantly. Gagarin also felt invigorated, with a bright smile spreading across his face, "You can tell it's no ordinary item just by looking at it... a real treasure!"

Gagarin, being a foreigner, hadn't cultivated in Dragon Country's martial arts, but he knew the magic of elixirs... Moreover, just smelling the fragrance of the elixirs in this gourd, it was undoubtedly a treasure, and Gagarin even vaguely felt his strength had slightly increased.

"Perhaps, the key to breaking through that realm lies in this Gourd of Elixirs!"

Just a whiff of the elixir's aura yielded such obvious effects. If he consumed the elixirs within... Gagarin dared not think further about it. Otherwise, he might have taken the elixirs immediately and used them to break through, ignoring the mission of entering the underground palace this time.

"The matter here isn't finished yet, let's wait a bit..."

The underground palace was both a treasure trove and a potential death trap; taking elixirs to break through here was not a wise choice. Gagarin quickly abandoned this idea.

However...

It seemed something crossed Gagarin's mind, and he let his gaze roam over every subordinate who had entered the third floor of the underground palace with him.

"Gatt, take a few people and scout the surroundings... especially the whereabouts of those few!"

Gagarin's gaze paused on Gatt, assigning him this task... Charlie and the others had entered a bit earlier, and with the vastness of the third floor of the underground palace, they hadn't yet crossed paths.

Gagarin was evidently not a magnanimous person and harbored great resentment towards Charlie and the others. He intended to seize the opportunity for revenge... Of course, since Charlie and the others had been inside for a while, they might have obtained some treasures that Gagarin could also take advantage of!

"Before the Captain and the people of the Six Major Families come in, all these treasures... are mine!"

Gagarin couldn't help but plan this way in his mind.

However, his eyes remained particularly sharp, especially when looking at Gatt... Evidently, he didn't trust these people at all!

Like how he could easily claim ownership of these treasures, if Captain Vincent got involved, the treasures Gagarin obtained might end up in Vincent's hands... even if not all, losing just half would be enough to make Gagarin's heart ache.

"Hmph... after I break through that realm! Let's see how you suppress me..."

Even though he was far from reaching his goal, Gagarin was contemplating this in his heart.

Gatt wore a disgruntled expression, clearly upset that though he secured the Gourd of Elixirs, Gagarin didn't reward him but instead sent him on an errand... which left him quite dissatisfied. However, Gatt dared not say much and obediently selected a few men, then went off to find Qin Fang and the others' whereabouts.

"Millennium Stone Milk? Such an extraordinary treasure exists here..."

Qin Fang and the others had truly found a significant treasure this time. Though they hadn't yet seen the item, Qin Fang already knew what was hidden in that Dark Chamber... It was clearly the most precious Millennium Stalactites in the Martial World.

It is said that martial artists need only a drop to easily increase their cultivation by five years...

What does five years of cultivation represent?

For low-level martial artists, five years of cultivation is equivalent to advancing by a stage, or even a level...

For advanced martial artists, although the effect isn't as exaggerated, it is enough to make a Grandmaster-level expert stronger by ten to twenty percent. This effect isn't temporary like a berserk potion which has side effects; it is permanent and completely harmless, an absolute treasure.

"This thing is likely more precious than a typical superior elixir..."

Qin Fang evaluated it in his mind and became even more eager to obtain this Millennium Stone Milk...

This treasure can not only be ingested but also be used in medicine... By adding the Millennium Stone Milk to an elixir, its efficacy can directly enhance by more than thirty percent, and taking such an elixir can fully exploit its medicinal properties, even having the effect of detoxifying pill poison!

"Young Master Qin, what should we do?"

The item is indeed good, and even Qin Fang was so excited that he almost lost his sense of direction. However, Charlie remained dutiful, pointing out the realistic issue before them... The entrance to this dark chamber was guarded not by just one but two Bronze Warriors!

"This is indeed a big trouble..."

Even one Bronze Warrior had Qin Fang scrambling, and now there were directly two... This isn't merely a one-plus-one-equals-two equation, the difficulty is perhaps even greater than three or four!

Although Qin Fang and his team were many, the problem was... only he could really withstand these Bronze Warriors.

"Do we really need to use the trump card?"

Frowning at the two Bronze Warriors in front of him, Qin Fang couldn't help but ponder.

The trump card should only appear when it is most needed... If it's used all the time, it wouldn't be a trump card anymore; the enemy would discover it and likely craft countermeasures, losing its surprising impact.

But inside the dark chamber guarded by these two Bronze Warriors was the Millennium Stone Milk that Qin Fang desired so much, making it impossible for him to choose to give up... The Millennium Stone Milk was too scarce, almost impossible to find in the world, missing this chance meant he might never find it again!

Yet, Qin Fang was reluctant to use his trump card so early... Upon seeing those exceptionally sturdy Bronze Warriors, Qin Fang was also worried about things going wrong!

"Let's test it first..."

Qin Fang held back the thought of using his trump card and prepared to find a way to deal with these two Bronze Warriors.

"I'll move in to draw away one Bronze Warrior, and you guys distract the other one as much as possible... Then seize the opportunity—if you can, go in and grab the treasure; if not, wait for me to return!"

After giving out simple instructions, Qin Fang immediately wielded his spear to poke at one of the Bronze Warriors. After attracting this Bronze Warrior's attention, Qin Fang promptly turned and walked away, continuously striking with the spear to keep the Bronze Warrior's focus, gradually dragging it away!

"Brothers, follow me... everyone, pay attention to coordination!"

Qin Fang took action, capturing the attention of one Bronze Warrior while the other was not idle, and also immediately moved in to charge at Qin Fang's direction... Seeing this situation, Charlie became tense, promptly organizing personnel to attract the attention of this Bronze Warrior.

Clang clang clang~~~

Bam bam bam~~~

They used every weapon they could, be it long knives, daggers, or firearms and Zi Dan... They spared no means, coordinating with each other to pull the aggro of this Bronze Warrior!

However, while Qin Fang alone easily managed to hold the aggro of one Bronze Warrior, even seeing it gradually being dragged away to the point it was nearly out of sight, things were more difficult for Charlie's side.

Their attack power was too weak, and even using firearms caused no harm... The shell of the Bronze Warrior was too hard, and the impact of the bullets only left slight scratches, causing minimal damage.

Moreover, due to differences in individual attack power, the damage caused varied, naturally leading to varying aggro levels for each person… This gave the Bronze Warrior a choice, and it was always likely to target the person with the highest aggro.

The Bronze Warrior was too powerful, and among Charlie's group of five, any one of them being unfortunate enough to take a hit would be lucky to survive... but they'd definitely be severely injured!

Only by taking turns attacking and using a coordinated pulling method could they hold the aggro of this puppet person... But as a result, they couldn't spare a hand to seize the Millennium Stone Milk right there in front of them!

Moreover, it seemed this Bronze Warrior wasn't entirely inflexible... Being unable to eliminate the enemies over a long time led it to make some changes, nearly wiping out Charlie with one unexpected move!

If Tony hadn't timely fired a shot to hold the aggro, Charlie might have already been chopped into mincemeat by the Bronze Warrior! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
