No one knows where Qin Fang's Gatling Fire God Cannon came from...

However, the scene before them proved that what they were seeing was not an illusion, but an iron-clad fact.

Ratatatatat~~~

Bullets rained down like a storm towards Vincent, the immense roar echoing continuously through the Fourth Layer of the Underground Palace, causing everyone's ears to buzz relentlessly.

The puppet people and bronze warriors were not living entities, so they were entirely indifferent to such sounds... Thus, as Qin Fang's bullets fired freely, there was nothing and no one to disturb him.

"Fuck~~~"

Faced with such terrifying attacks, the mercenaries gathered at the top of the underground palace felt utterly cursed, having no foothold in such high altitudes, making it impossible to defend, with bullets continuously hitting people...

Those with a bit of luck managed to quickly find places to hide after being hit, thus surviving by chance.

The less fortunate, however, were different: some were shot in the vital spots and killed instantly, while others fell mid-air and were torn apart by the puppet army, or were shoved down by their own comrades.

Overall, thanks to Qin Fang's actions, the chaos in mid-air was even more harrowing than the situation faced by the mercenaries resisting the puppet army below.

"Fuck! I'm going to tear you apart..."

Qin Fang's assault completely enraged Vincent.

With a furious roar, Vincent's clothing instantly ripped apart, at the same time his body rapidly expanded, with his incredibly strong muscles quickly bulging.

More eerily, his skin revealed strange silvery glints, appearing to have some metallic texture... It was immediately clear that his defense would be terrifyingly formidable.

Boom~~~

To everyone's surprise, the berserk Vincent jumped down directly from the oil lamp at the top of the underground palace, landing among the dense puppet army with a tremendous crash, shattering several puppet people underfoot.

Then, Vincent's berserk fist swiftly shot out, with a terrifying force that was matchless, smashing apart numerous puppet people, and even the shockwave seemed to turn into a horrifying meat grinder...

Clang clang clang!!

Even the impregnable bronze warriors were no match for Vincent's berserk fists, each punch pounding them until the extremely heavy bronze warriors were sent flying...

"What terrifying strength..."

Even Qin Fang couldn't help but exclaim at the sight.

Though he knew Vincent's power was exceedingly formidable, reaching the level of a Great Grandmaster expert, each possessing unimaginable strength for now...

In Dragon Country, martial arts experts could form incredible defenses with Protective Gang Qi, while foreigners like Vincent had taken physical strength to a terrifying extreme, becoming not only more berserk in power but equally astounding in defense.

With so many puppet people, even Vincent couldn't defend against them all, yet their attacks seemed only to tickle him, incapable of inflicting lethal harm, merely leaving a few blood trails on Vincent's body...

"Kill!!"

At this moment, Vincent was terrifying, like a demon ascending from hell, madly tearing apart anything blocking his way... whether puppet people, bronze warriors, or even his own mercenaries!

Clearly, his state was similar to berserk, his power exponentially increased, yet his temperament became even more savage!

"Damn it! I'm done playing... retreat!"

Seeing Vincent completely berserk, Qin Fang knew he couldn't snipe him anymore.

Perhaps he could use the Gatling Fire God Cannon to turn Vincent into a sieve...

But Vincent was presently surrounded by countless puppet people, and Qin Fang simply couldn't hit him... any forced attack would merely clear a path for the opposing forces, a strategy that Qin Fang would never adopt.

After all, the opposition had two Great Grandmaster-level experts, letting them through would be like placing his own head on their chopping block!

Ratatatatat~~~

After sweeping through mid-air again and taking down a few more hapless victims, Qin Fang immediately put away the Gatling Fire God Cannon, quickly diving into the entrance of the Fifth Layer of the Underground Palace, vanishing rapidly from everyone's sight.

"Phew~~~~ that bastard finally left!"

Seeing that Qin Fang was no longer there, many people couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, as at least the crisis seemed to be averted.

Thus, the mercenaries at the back once again used their tools and began trying to break through from the rear, charging toward the empty areas in front... soon, the air was filled with many people again.

Even Vincent, after going berserk for a while, fought his way back to the rear base camp. After paying the price of numerous blood marks on his body, he forcefully carved a bloody path and returned to the entrance of the fourth floor.

But just as Vincent and that elder named Song were about to ascend and cross over, a figure stealthily emerged from the entrance of the fifth level of the Underground Palace, then with a wicked grin, mounted the Gatling Fire God Cannon once again...

Ratatatatatatata~~~~

When the gunfire sounded, many people were caught off guard and hit by the bullets... Then some were killed, while others fell into the puppet sea and were hacked to pieces. In just an instant, the number of people decreased by another dozen or so!

"Fuck!"

For a moment, curses filled the air, but as for Qin Fang, the instigator, he had already slipped back into the fifth level of the Underground Palace. Even if these people wanted to curse Qin Fang out, they frustratingly found that their target had long vanished.

Being tricked by Qin Fang once again, the mercenaries became much more cautious. Even if they remained on the ground to fend off these puppet troops, they dared not easily climb to the top of the Underground Palace to be exposed to gunfire!

But, playing the "wolf is coming" trick once or twice might be acceptable; playing it a third time loses its meaning. Qin Fang never intended to continue using this trick, just to make the mercenaries wary and not rush in so quickly.

As for Qin Fang himself, he seized this time gap to start sweeping through the fifth level of the Underground Palace...

The reason Qin Fang planned this way was entirely due to the special setup of the fifth level of the Underground Palace.

The area of the fifth level is not large, estimated to be about the same as the second level, from where you can easily see the entrance to the sixth level...

As Qin Fang guessed, the odd-numbered levels store treasures, while the even-numbered levels are for breaking through...

After Qin Fang broke through the challenging fourth level of the Underground Palace, he entered the treasure-storing fifth level... thus naturally gaining the opportunity to claim a treasure.

However, he was alone, so he had only one chance to choose a treasure!

In the fifth layer of the Underground Palace, there stood about twelve identical stone platforms, each with a mechanism box placed on them.

When Qin Fang stepped into the fifth level of the Underground Palace, the entire mechanism of the fifth floor automatically activated. Qin Fang could choose one mechanism box to obtain a treasure from it, and then... either return to the fourth level and find a way out through the Triple Life-and-Death Gates on the third level, or continue to venture into the sixth level of the Underground Palace!

What treasures are hidden inside these twelve mechanism boxes? Aside from the person who originally set this mechanism, no one knows... Even Qin Fang's Scouting Skill couldn't peek through the mechanism boxes to see the treasures inside.

"An Easter egg?"

Clearly, this setup is like an Easter egg game.

Perhaps one could draw the most precious treasure in one try, or maybe just a wisp of air, with the possibility of drawing the one and only "grand prize"... a deadly hidden weapon similar to the Peacock Feather that sends you straight to heaven.

At the entrance of the fifth level, a stone tablet records these specific details.

The twelve mechanism boxes, in a three-to-two-to-one ratio, contain six treasures, four blanks, and two "grand prizes."

Among these six treasures, they are also distributed in this ratio: three ordinary treasures, two extremely rare treasures, and one supreme treasure!

"One in twelve chance..."

Faced with this situation, Qin Fang couldn't help but feel quite helpless, and his face was full of a wry smile.

In the same treasure-storing spot, the fifth level of the Underground Palace is much more stingy than the third level. Not only is the number of treasures greatly reduced, but the difficulty of obtaining them is also much higher... If not careful, one might even lose their life.

Of course, judging by the treasures set on the first and third levels, the treasure grade of the fifth level of the Underground Palace is definitely extremely high... Even the so-called ordinary treasures might be quite precious in today's era and considered "supreme treasure" level!

As for those rare treasures, they are even more of a treasure that can only be encountered by chance...

And that supreme treasure, it was already a supreme treasure hundreds or thousands of years ago, and now... it's beyond words!

Thinking about it makes Qin Fang's heart race, and his whole mood turns excited and enthusiastic!

"This damned setup, truly a pitfall..."

But looking at the design of the fifth level of the Underground Palace, even someone as "honest" as Qin Fang couldn't help but gripe about the situation.

"Forget it, leave it to fate..."

Saying to give up is absolutely impossible... At least there's a fifty percent chance of obtaining a treasure. Though there is a slight risk, which of Qin Fang's endeavors so far hasn't involved risk?

This risk and opportunity often come as twins; the greater the risk, often the greater the benefits...(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
