I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 640: Chapter 483: Entering the Treasury, Puppets, A Great Haul (Part 2)

Finally, after another wave of frenzied attacks from the demons, the runes in mid-air and the ice monument reached complete resonance!

The ice blue light exploded to its peak, the runes blended into the ice monument, and immediately, a crack opened on the ground in front of the four people, revealing a slowly emerging circular space vortex.

Initially only the size of a fist, the vortex quickly expanded with the infusion of energy from the ice monument, and in the blink of an eye, it was two meters wide. The center of the vortex was a deep darkness, with a faintly perceptible ancient aura emanating from within—it was the entrance to the treasury!

"Roar——!"

The demons seemed to sense the aura of the treasury, with almost half of them abandoning their attack on the Triad Formation, madly charging toward the space vortex, trying to break into the treasury.

"Now’s the time!"

A gleam flashed in Qin Tian’s eyes, and he hesitated no longer.

He waved his hand, the power of space instantly enveloping the four of them while simultaneously taking the ice monument into the spirit space.

In the next moment, the figures of the four were drawn by the power of space, flashing straight towards the incompletely formed space vortex.

Just as they entered the vortex, Qin Tian reversed and activated the power of void, forcibly severing the connection between the vortex and the outside world.

"Buzz——"

The space vortex abruptly contracted, its expansion trend suddenly reversed, rapidly closing amidst the roars of countless demons, finally disappearing entirely on the ice field.

Leaving behind tens of thousands of frenzied demons spinning madly in place, they roared and charged at the ground with nothing visible, their black energy balls wantonly bombing, yet unable to find the entrance to the treasury.

...

"Snap——"

The sole of a foot grounded firmly on the icy ground, the texture hard and smooth.

The four instinctively glanced around, seeing an unimaginably vast space, the ground paved with slabs of dark gray rock, with faint chills seeping from the cracks, seemingly undisappeared after thousands of years.

Directly in front, a hundred steel golems were neatly arranged like an ancient legion guarding the treasury.

Each golem stood five meters tall, their bodies forged of cold iron, armor covered with the ancient runes of the Ice God Race, shining with a chilly metallic luster, grasping a piercing cold spear in one hand, lifting heavy shield with the other, poised meticulously in a defensive posture.

The eeriest thing was their helmets, devoid of any mouth or nose organs, inlaid only with two fist-sized blue crystals, like cold stars, exuding a faint blue light in the dim space.

Behind the golem group, a tightly closed stone gate stood before the rock wall, engraved with runes of the same origin as the ice monument, clearly a gateway to the treasury.

And between the four people and the golems, a faint white solid line appeared on the ground, like an invisible boundary separating the two sides.

"It seems this treasury is not so easy to enter."

Zhuge Yu glanced over the hundred golems, twirled his fingers, taking out four lustrous green elixirs, handing them in front of the three, "These are Replenishing Pills, which can quickly adjust the aura and replenish spiritual energy, restore your state before the challenge."

Qin Tian and the other three took the elixirs and swallowed them, the cool medicinal power sliding down the throat, instantly transforming into a warm stream, spreading through their body, the spiritual energy consumed in the previous battle with the demons quickly recovering, tense nerves easing somewhat.

"I just observed," Zhuge Yu rubbed the array plate in his hand, "As long as we don’t cross the solid line on the ground, these golems shouldn’t react."

"Since we’ve come, there’s no reason to go back." Taishi Feng tightened his grip on the Heaven-piercing Halberd, the bloodstains on his armor not yet dry, but still with firm eyes stepped forward, "I’ll pave the way, you all stay alert."

With his courageous and valiant nature, he’s always accustomed to leading by example, especially considering that these hundred golems seemed dormant for a long time, perhaps they were just for show.

Qin Tian and the others didn’t stop him, merely staying alert, ready to provide support.

Taishi Feng took a deep breath, lifted his left foot slowly, lightly crossing the faint white solid line on the ground.

Just as his foot landed——

"Buzz——!"

The blue crystal eyes on the helmets of the hundred steel golems suddenly burst out with dazzling blue light, like two hundred blue stars simultaneously igniting, instantly illuminating the entire field.

Followed by

"Boom boom boom——!"

Terrifying waves of spiritual energy surged from within the golems, like floodwaters released, sweeping across the field, the ground trembled slightly under the pressure, the air seemed to condense, even breathing became sluggish.

Qin Tian and the others’ faces changed dramatically, astonishment appearing in their eyes simultaneously!

"They’re all... Tier Six?!" Huo Yuansheng gripped his longsword tightly, his voice carrying a hint of barely detectable tremor.

He could clearly sense that the aura emitted by each golem steadily reached Tier Six level, with many approaching mid-Tier Six, even high-tier level, energy fluctuations robust and stable, showing no signs of waning.

Taishi Feng’s heart sank even further, feeling a colossal pressure descending upon him, as if being watched by a hundred war machines simultaneously, cold sweat breaking out over his back.

He initially believed these golems, having lain dormant for thousands of years, had long exhausted their energy, even if they were machinery, should have decayed or malfunctioned, but unexpectedly, they were not only intact but could unleash such terrifying combat power!

"They’re all Tier Six Puppets! A full hundred of them!" Zhuge Yu’s pupils contracted. Though the four were top Tier Six powerhouses, facing a hundred steel golems, feeling no pain, no fear, was a rather dangerous thing.

Moreover, there’s no retreat here, either they completely eliminate the golems or get killed by them.
