Chapter 495 Sixth-Level Weapon

Wang Tao led everyone to the second floor again.

Although all the mutated plants here were cleaned up by Wang Tao, Wang Tao still checked them again for safety reasons.

After all, when he killed the mutated plants before, he deliberately left the roots in the hope that they would grow back.

After some inspections, Wang Tao was relieved, but a little disappointed because there was no change in the rhizomes.

"let's start."

Shaking his head, Wang Tao dispersed the surrounding black fog and explored the second floor again with everyone.

"I feel like there's something wrong with this rock - uh, you just smashed it open? There's nothing inside... Okay, that's just me overthinking..."

"Do you think it looks like there is an agency here?"

"I don't think so. Have you watched too much TV before..."

"Eh? Look what's going on here, why is it so wet? It's obviously not normal!"

"Uh, that's what Lightning just peed..."

"..."

"Woof~"

…

More people don't necessarily mean more power, but it will definitely be lively.

Without the threat of the fifth-level lord, everyone relaxed a little, chatting while looking for abnormalities.

But unfortunately, they spent most of the day searching the second floor, but still found nothing.

"Is this some kind of mysterious power like 'rules' that we haven't seen before?"

Xiang Hongbin opened his mind.

"Hard to say……"

Wei Zhenguo shook his head. He thought it was unlikely, but he had never found any useful information, so he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

"Is it possible that there really isn't anything special here..."

Wang Tao frowned.

"Actually, we still have three places to look for."

At this time, He Jijun suddenly said.

"Huh? Where?"

Everyone looked at him with some confusion.

"Ceiling, underground and in the water."

He Jijun explained.

Everyone opened their mouths. If you say so, then these three places have indeed not been explored, but there is no way to explore them!

The ceiling was above everyone's heads, so high that they couldn't reach it. Of course, if you use some means, you should be able to touch it, but if you want to continue to explore such a huge ceiling, it is obviously impossible.

Not to mention the underground. Although the ground looks like soil, there is a very hard stone underneath the soil. Even with Wang Tao’s strength, it cannot be dug...

As for the water... there is a lake on the second level. There was a treasure chest in the center of the lake before, but the water in the lake is highly toxic...

But then again, the ceiling and underground are not easy to explore, but this lake seems to be! After all, Wang Tao now has a large amount of antidote in his hands, and after He Jijun reminded him, he also felt that there might be something wrong with the lake.

"Well, let me go and take a look in the water. If there is something, maybe it is under the water..."

Wang Tao said to everyone.

"Then be careful!"

Lan Yulian and others immediately gave instructions.

They did not stop Wang Tao. After all, Wang Tao was now at the fifth level of strength. In addition, Wang Tao had many antidote potions. These poisons had no effect on Wang Tao.

Everyone was waiting on the shore. Wang Tao jumped up gently and fell into the water with a graceful posture.

thump--

The water in the lake was a bit cold. After Wang Tao got used to it for a while, he began to dive down.

He had already used the antidote in advance, and the poison in the lake had no effect on him. However, because these lakes are dark green, blocking Wang Tao's sight, even if he can see at night, it will be useless, so he can only use his mental power to explore little by little. This is certainly much slower than looking directly with your eyes, but more accurate. It's considered slow work and careful work.

Wang Tao didn't know how long he had been exploring. He only remembered that he had come out to change his breath about ten times, and his head was a little dizzy.

Although he will not be poisoned, it is very difficult both mentally and physically to be in this depressing environment.

But at this moment, Wang Tao suddenly became energetic.

"What it is?"

He immediately dived deeply again, and then headed towards the center of the lake. A few seconds later, Wang Tao stepped on the bottom of the lake.

This lake is basically a ring, and in the middle is a small piece of land where the treasure chest was previously placed.

Observed underwater, the center is like a cone, thick at the bottom and thin at the top. Only one tip of the cone is exposed out of the water, which is where the treasure chest was previously placed.

And in front of Wang Tao, at the bottom of the cone, there was a stone gate!

After confirming that this was a stone gate, Wang Tao swam around here again. There is nothing unusual in other places, only this door.

"It seems that the problem may be inside the door..."

Logically speaking, even if it is a very hard stone, Wang Tao's mental power can penetrate it. Although it may be greatly weakened, he can still penetrate it. But for this stone gate, his mental power couldn't penetrate it at all...

This is not the first time Wang Tao has seen this situation. He had encountered this situation when he tried to use his mental power to explore the treasure chest before - he had no way of knowing what was inside the treasure chest before opening it.

But this only made him more curious.

He studied it carefully and found that there was no keyhole or anything like that on the stone door. He couldn't see the specific information on the door and didn't know how to open it.

This immediately gave Wang Tao a headache.

"What exactly is the 'key' to open the door?"

Wang Tao really couldn't figure it out. Seeing that the time for the antidote was about to expire, he immediately used another bottle of potion, and then punched the stone door hard in annoyance.

Crack --

A crack appeared on the stone door with the naked eye.

"..."

Wang Tao was experimenting. Could this thing be destroyed by force?

There was no time to think about it. Wang Tao directly raised his fist and used all his strength to bang on the stone door.

Crack, crack, crack --

Clang --

As the crack on the stone door became larger and larger, there was a crash, and the stone door shattered to the ground.

"..."

Wang Tao cursed himself inwardly.

If it were in the past, when he encountered such a place where he could not see the information and could not enter, his first reaction would definitely be violent destruction. But now, perhaps because of the treasure chest, the first thing he wanted to do was to find the key to open the door...

But the ending was good. By chance, this stone door was also opened by him.

There was a room inside the stone door. After the stone door broke, the dark green poisonous water in the lake immediately poured in.

This room was about 20 to 30 square meters. The ground and walls were very flat, not like it was formed naturally. In the middle of the room, there was a two-meter-high dark green tree. This was the only item in the room, and it had a name.

Wang Tao was quick-witted and immediately grabbed the dark green tree.

[Obtained: Sixth-level weapon·Crystal Energy Poison Tree*1]

The lake water then completely entered the room.

After Wang Tao confirmed that there was nothing else here, he immediately swam up.

When he surfaced, Ding Yuqin and others not far away waved to Wang Tao excitedly, and they said in unison:

"Wang Tao, it seems that our strength is no longer suppressed!"

"Wang Tao, did you find something?"

"After being suppressed for so long, I feel so comfortable after being relieved!"

"..."

Wang Tao also clearly saw that the "suppression" state above their heads was gone.

"Haha, a little harvest!"

After Wang Tao swam back to the shore, flames instantly ignited on his body, evaporating the water.

There was no way, I just got a good thing, so I'll be extravagant today.

"What's going on?"

Lan Yulian asked curiously.

Wang Tao didn't say anything, but waved his hand directly, and a dark green tree appeared in front of everyone.

"This is..."

Everyone's eyes lit up, this thing was obviously the culprit that suppressed their strength!

"Your strength was suppressed because of it. And it... is a sixth-level weapon!"

Wang Tao explained with a smile.

"Sixth-level weapon!"

Everyone exclaimed. Wang Tao, as the strongest person in Changhe Base, is only at the fifth level now, not to mention others. The fourth level is already considered the top strength in the base.

The strongest enemy they have encountered should be the two sixth-level lord zombies before. Although they have not met the sixth-level lord, Wang Tao said before when he was still at the fourth level that the sixth level is a completely uncontestable existence.

And now, Wang Tao actually got a sixth-level weapon... That's no less than getting a sixth-level awakener!

"I didn't expect that there was a sixth-level weapon hidden in it..."

Wang Tao looked at the small tree.

[HP: 48531/500000 (upper limit 1000000)]

[Status: Sleeping]

[Amplification: Suppression, enhancement, barrier (weakness: sewage discharge)]

[Compatibility: 0%]

[Suppression: The strength of life within the range is suppressed. Current maximum suppression range: 5 kilometers. Current suppression list: None]

[Enhancement: The strength of life within the range is enhanced. Current maximum enhancement range: 5 kilometers. Current enhancement list: None]

[Barrier: Generate a defensive barrier within the range. Current maximum generation range: 5 kilometers]

[Sewage discharge: When using amplification, toxic wastewater will be generated]

The properties of this sixth-level weapon are different from what Wang Tao has seen before. This is a range-type auxiliary weapon. It has three abilities: suppression, enhancement, and barrier!

Lan Yulian and the others had experienced the ability of suppression. The fourth-level awakener was directly suppressed by half of his strength. It was a very uncomfortable feeling.

Then there is the enhancement. The effects of enhancement and suppression are completely opposite, but no one has experienced it yet, so we don’t know what it feels like.

Then there is the barrier. From the introduction, Wang Tao didn’t quite understand it. He had to see it in person to know, but there is no doubt that it is a defensive ability.

Finally, there is the weakness. Wang Tao only then knew that the poisonous water in this lake was discharged by it?

Wang Tao had seen the weaknesses of weapons, some of which were afraid of fire, some were afraid of light... This was the first time he had seen a weapon that discharged toxic wastewater... It really deserved to be an auxiliary weapon, even the weakness was so unique.

But to be honest, this weakness is not necessarily a weakness. If it is used well, it may still be a biochemical weapon...

Anyway, including this weakness, Wang Tao felt that these abilities looked very good. Even though Wang Tao had never seen the two abilities of "enhancement" and "barrier", from the perspective of "suppression", the effects of these abilities would definitely not be bad. After all, the fourth-order awakeners have their strength suppressed by half...

When Wang Tao collected the crystal energy poison tree, it had a suppression list, which said "Level 4 and below·Human", but this thing was ownerless. After Wang Tao easily received it in the space backpack, it was equivalent to restarting, and the suppression was naturally gone.

This suppression and promotion should be able to add a list, but Wang Tao has not activated the weapon yet, so he can't add it for the time being. As for this barrier, there is no list restriction on it, which should mean that all life in the atmosphere will enjoy the barrier effect...

Speaking of the range, this is what Wang Tao was most shocked about!

Whether it is suppression, promotion or barrier, the range is five kilometers in radius, that is, a circle with a radius of 5 kilometers, and the area is... 78.5 square kilometers!

What is this concept? Equivalent to one hundred Forbidden Cities!

It was the first time that Wang Tao saw a weapon with such a large coverage range.

However, its coverage range is so large, it must be limited...This made Wang Tao instantly think of the [Level 5 Weapon·Ironwood Guard] he had obtained before. That thing is also very powerful, but it cannot be moved at will. There is a 24-hour cooling time after moving, and it cannot be used again during the cooling time... It is estimated that this sixth-level weapon may also have similar side effects.

If there are similar side effects, I don’t know what the specific cooling time is. If the cooling time is short, it seems that it can be carried on the body...

I am a little excited when I think about it.

While Wang Tao introduced the ability of this sixth-level weapon to everyone, he took out the crystal core. He was going to activate it to see what the specific effect is.

According to previous experience, the sixth-level weapon should be able to use sixth-level, fifth-level and fourth-level crystal cores. Wang Tao did not have a sixth-level crystal core, and the fifth-level crystal core was relatively precious, so in order to save, Wang Tao used a fourth-level crystal core.

As a result, after the crystal energy poison tree swallowed a fourth-level crystal core, a prompt appeared.

[Activation countdown: 99 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]

"..."

Ah? It takes a hundred days to activate? !

Wang Tao was a little dumbfounded. All the weapons he had obtained before only took a few seconds to activate... These 100 days are a pit!

After 100 days, he will probably be able to reach the sixth level...

Is there something wrong?

Wang Tao took out a fourth-level crystal core again to feed the crystal energy poison tree, and the countdown did not change.

After thinking about it, Wang Tao reluctantly took out a fifth-level crystal core to feed it.

[Activation countdown: 9 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds]

"..."
