Chapter 479 Opportunities for Advancement
"Principal Wang, how are you doing? Do you need our help?"
Pan Jian asked very considerately.
He didn't know that Wang Tao was already at the fifth level, nor did he know what monsters Wang Tao had encountered.
It's just that the deeper you go, the more dangerous it is. Even though they have many awakened teachers and a large number of second and third level students, it's a bit difficult to explore. Will Wang Tao and his friends encounter some dangers when they walk so fast?
Especially, he tried to contact Wang Tao before, but found that he couldn't contact him... Fortunately, Wang Tao contacted him, otherwise he would have thought that Wang Tao had an accident.
"No, just pay more attention to yourself..."
Wang Tao shook his head, then he looked at the time and said:
"Oh, by the way, you should encounter a stone forest next. If you see the words left, it means that this stone forest is basically safe and you can rest inside. I will go back to find you then."
The environment here is pitch black, which makes it easy for people to ignore time.
Wang Tao looked around and found that it had been more than half a day since they came down. Although the psychics had good physical strength, they couldn't stand fighting all the time and needed to rest.
"Is there a safe place? Good! Principal Wang, please rest assured, I will bring everyone there safely!"
Hearing Wang Tao say that there was a place to rest, Pan Jian was immediately a little excited and breathed a sigh of relief.
Their vision here was originally limited, and these mutant plants liked to hide in corners, so this place was very dangerous for them!
They had encountered a more powerful monster before, and after being killed by those awakened teachers, they were ready to find a place to rest temporarily. As a result, the place had been cleaned up, but some students were still attacked by the hidden mutant plants. If there was no awakened teacher next to the student, he would probably be in danger.
After that, they conducted a carpet search and found a lot of mutant plants...
Pan Jian felt that there seemed to be no safe place here!
Now they were all very tired and needed to rest, but Pan Jian didn't dare to find a place to rest casually. After all, they brought so many students with them, and they were the future of the base. If the students suffered too much loss, he estimated that he would not have to go back...
Pan Jian was still struggling just now, whether to continue moving forward and find a suitable place to rest, or to return to rest by the original route. Both options have their pros and cons.
Now that he has contacted Wang Tao, he is no longer entangled, and will do as Wang Tao says!
After all, Wang Tao's strength is here. If he says it is safe, then it is probably safe, and Wang Tao will come back to find them...
Take a step back and say that even if they really encounter danger and cause them to lose a lot of students, it is also because they followed Wang Tao's suggestion, and it is not his responsibility alone...It's not that he wants to shirk responsibility, it's really that his small body can't bear such a big responsibility!
After Wang Tao confirmed that there was no problem with the students, he ended the call. Then he continued to move towards the location where Ding Yuqin and the others were.
Not long after, Wang Tao saw Ding Yuqin and his group stationed in the original place, and roughly scanned their health bars, and they were all safe.
Whoosh——
A small white figure emerged from the crowd and jumped onto Wang Tao.
Wang Tao smiled and rubbed Xiao Bing's little head.
When he went to the second floor, he only brought Lightning and handed Xiao Bing to Jiang Shixue.
"Wang Tao, are you okay? What's the situation down there?"
Ding Yuqin and the others gathered around.
"I'm fine, but it's a little dangerous down there."
In fact, Wang Tao had used the induction ring to talk to Ding Yuqin before, but he didn't say it too clearly. After all, Ding Yuqin was also fighting and couldn't keep chatting.
Now that he had time, he talked about the situation on the second floor in detail.
Hearing Wang Tao say that the second floor was full of fifth-level elites and fifth-level lords, everyone was a little shocked.
No wonder they all felt that it was very dangerous down there, it turned out that there were quite a few fifth-level lords!
With their fourth-level awakening strength, they could actually kill fifth-level lords, but the environment here was not friendly to them. Especially on the second floor, the dark attribute was too strong, and those who were not dark attribute felt very uncomfortable, which greatly affected their combat effectiveness...
Wang Tao talked about the monsters and poisonous lakes he encountered, and then took out the antidote and distributed it to everyone. After Wang Tao's test, this thing worked very well, especially many mutant plants could resist poison, this thing was simply a natural nemesis.
Finally, Wang Tao took out the two treasure chests.
"This is a treasure chest..."
Everyone has long been accustomed to Wang Tao being able to take things out of thin air. It is estimated that Wang Tao has something similar to a "magic stomach sac" that can hold things, but it has great limitations. After all, they all know that Wang Tao can only hold a small part of the things, and many things Wang Tao can't take away, they are all placed in the car.
But when Wang Tao introduced the purpose of this treasure chest, they all widened their eyes.
"You mean, there is a large space inside this box. In addition to living things, everything else can be put in, and the food inside will not spoil..."
"Yes."
Everyone was surprised to hear Wang Tao's affirmative answer.
Wang Tao asked them to try it, and it was exactly as Wang Tao said.
"Then we don't need to bring so many things when we go out next time! Just put them in the treasure box..."
He Jijun showed a happy look on his face.
He is half human and half machine. Although his mechanical body is strong, it needs daily maintenance.
Since it was maintenance, there would definitely be a lot of tools and materials. Every time he traveled far away, he would bring a lot of tools and materials with him, which was a little inconvenient.
If there was such a box, he could put the tools and materials into the box, which would be much more convenient.
Not only the tools and materials needed for maintenance, but also mechanical bodies such as arms and arms! After that, he encountered a fierce battle. Even if his body was damaged, he didn't have to panic because it could be replaced directly on the spot! It feels so good to think about it!
Of course, except for Xiang Hongbin, everyone else also thinks that this treasure box is very good. In the future, with the treasure box, all kinds of equipment and daily necessities can be put into the treasure box. At that time, they will truly travel lightly, which will give them greater mobility. A lot of improvement!
Wang Tao obviously saw what everyone was thinking. He said to Xiang Hongbin:
"Lao Xiang, try if you can pick up the treasure box."
"Of course there's no problem! This looks like it's made of wood, right? Even if it's solid wood, there's not much--"
Xiang Hongbin, who put his hand on the treasure box, suddenly got stuck.
"Here, what kind of material is this? It's so heavy!"
He couldn't move it!
"That's the disadvantage of the treasure chest, it's heavy."
Wang Tao spread his hands helplessly.
When he went to get the ordinary treasure box, he tested it again and found that the quality and weight of the treasure box were related. The high-quality treasure box was heavier than the ordinary treasure box.
He could barely pick up the ordinary treasure chest with all his strength, but he could only shake the exquisite treasure chest with all his strength. When he was in the center of the lake, he thought he could lift the exquisite treasure chest if he was given time. Hug him, it turned out that he was overthinking. He could only make a slight gap between the treasure chest and the place name, but that was all.
As for the excellent treasure chest he saw at the end, he couldn't hold it no matter what. The weight of this thing is beyond his understanding...
However, Wang Tao felt that the treasure chest was not heavy, but restricted by a rule that he could not understand. Because such a heavy treasure chest is placed on the ground, theoretically it will leave deep marks and even collapse the ground. But in reality it doesn't.
Moreover, when Wang Tao picked up the treasure box, he kicked up cracks in the ground, but the ground under the treasure box did not change at all... It was as if there was a force that prevented him from picking up the treasure box.
However, Wang Tao couldn't understand what was going on for the time being, so he could only understand it as "very serious".
After Xiang Hongbin tried it, everyone else also tried it and found that they couldn't pick up the treasure box, even if it was the lightest ordinary treasure box.
Seeing this, Wang Tao suddenly thought that the prerequisite for picking up the treasure box must be related to their level, right?
After all, Xiang Hongbin and the others are quite strong. Even if they can't lift them up, they can still shake them so they won't remain motionless...
However, this is just Wang Tao's guess, and he can only wait until they advance to the fifth level before giving it a try.
Now the question is, since they can't hold the treasure box, can the treasure box still be placed in the car? If you can't carry the treasure box out, then the function of the treasure box will be greatly reduced...
"We'll know when we go back to find a car and give it a try. After all, we only have one car. If it breaks, we'll be in trouble."
Wang Tao explained.
Everyone nodded.
"But now there is still a problem that needs to be solved. I saw a more advanced treasure box, but I don't have the key. I need someone to open this treasure box..."
Wang Tao also talked about the need for awakening keys above the sophisticated treasure chests.
Only then did everyone realize that this thing actually requires an awakening key to open! Although the cost is not small, the security is also very strong.
However, everyone was still a little shocked when they heard Wang Tao say that the excellent treasure chest he saw required a high-level secret key. The cost was too terrifying!
"Who among you will open this treasure chest?"
Wang Tao looked at everyone. Whoever opens it will represent whose treasure chest it belongs to. Because it will be locked after being opened with the secret key, and only I can unlock it.
"We will save the key for you, and you can open it yourself. Didn't you say that the high-level awakening key fused with 100 awakening keys is physical? Then we can just give it to you after we fuse the key."
Ding Yuqin said.
It's not that they don't want the treasure box, it's mainly that the treasure box is too heavy and they can't move it. And if Wang Tao has a way to put away the treasure box, it would definitely be more appropriate to let Wang Tao carry the treasure box.
"Uh...it seems so."
Wang Tao forgot about this incident.
In this case, there is nothing to say. Anyway, he can put the treasure box into the space backpack and everyone can use it.
Seeing that Lightning had finished eating the mutated plant corpses that Ding Yuqin and the others had specially left behind, Wang Tao said to the crowd:
"Then let's get started."
"Let's go! I've been resting for two hours, and I can't wait!"
Xiang Hongbin laughed.
There are many fourth-level lords on this floor. Judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be a big problem to accumulate 100 awakening keys. It just depends on how long it takes. I hope it won't be too long. He also plans to visit those students.
Wang Tao immediately asked Xiao Hei to lead the way, and everyone quickly followed.
Soon, Xiao Hei told Wang Tao that there was a fourth-order lord ahead.
When Wang Tao saw the fourth-level lord, two high-temperature rays were shot out. Before the mutated plant lord could figure out the situation, there was only a trace of blood left in an instant.
Seeing that the other party was not dead, Wang Tao nodded with satisfaction. His [Burning Eye] can adjust the power. The greater the power, the more awakening energy it consumes, and vice versa. He just used a small-power ray and failed to kill the fourth-level lord instantly, but this is just right, it can make it easier for others to finish him off.
Han Rui sent a shock wave over and just took the head of this fourth-level lord.
Wang Tao asked Han Rui to collect the awakening keys, mainly because he has the ability of perception and can cooperate with Wang Tao more efficiently.
After killing this fourth-level lord, Wang Tao almost didn't stop and continued to follow Xiao Hei. Han Rui hurriedly followed, and the others acted as logistics to deal with the body of the lord who had just been killed.
"Too strong!"
Xiang Hongbin sighed. Although he had seen Wang Tao's strength after the fifth level, he couldn't help but marvel. He didn't even have the chance to grab monsters. He said he would come to fight, but he ended up as logistics...
In this efficient killing, Wang Tao frantically saved awakening keys for Han Rui.
It has to be said that there are really many lords in the cracks. If Wang Tao wanted to collect 100 awakening keys outside, he might not be able to collect them in half a month unless he used the Night Demon Parasite in the Night Demon Lair. It's not that he can't beat them, but he encountered lord zombies...
But now it's different. It can be as short as one or two minutes, or as long as a few minutes, and you can find a fourth-level lord. There was even a nest of five fourth-level lords together!
Can't kill them all, can't kill them all!
Wang Tao suddenly thought of a problem. He could let Han Rui and others help him save high-level awakening keys! And there are so many lord monsters in the cracks. His fourth awakening may be much earlier than expected, maybe just a few days later!
And Ding Yuqin and others also have the opportunity to awaken twice, three times or even four times!
Even including the students of the awakening school, there are so many fourth-level lords, enough for them to share...
This is an opportunity to improve the overall strength of the Changhe Base!
...
Two hours later, Han Rui suddenly called Wang Tao.
"Wang Tao, we have enough secret keys!"
"Enough... Then reset the locations that Xiao Hei has explored, and we will retreat."
After all, it was Xiao Hei who had worked so hard to explore, so we can't waste it.
"Okay!"
After another half an hour, Wang Tao finally stopped.
"After you pack up the spoils, go directly to the stone forest, and I'll go to the second floor to get the treasure chest."
"Understood!"
