Second update, seeking subscriptions and monthly votes~~~~...

Second Floor of the Underground Palace...

"I understand now, finally understand... So that's how it is!"

After countless attempts, and after more than ten people were killed by the Bronze Warriors, Gagarin suddenly started shouting crazily, his eyes glowing with a blood-red hue, but the expression on his face was one of ecstatic joy.

"Everyone, keep going... This time, listen to my command!"

Without a trace of hesitation, Gagarin shouted excitedly, as if he couldn't wait any longer.

"Captain Gagarin, we only have a few people left..."

Gatt's face was also extremely grim, as four out of eight members of his team had already fallen under the hands of the Bronze Warriors, directly reducing his team by half—a loss incredibly severe, worse than his longtime rival Charlie's team.

But facing a King-level Expert like Gagarin, he didn't dare show a hint of complaint, only subtly indicating the remaining members on his side... Aside from the four members of his team, there were only three other team leaders left, all Grandmaster-level experts far stronger than him.

This was because Gatt had some ties with Gagarin, thus managing to preserve them as much as possible, otherwise... they would have been dead long ago.

But now, Gagarin actually wanted to send more people up... Counting, only his underlings were left to be sent to their deaths, and if he dared scheme against the other team leaders, they would surely kill him first.

"Gatt, send your people up immediately..."

However, Gagarin clearly didn't care about this; aside from himself, everyone else was meant to be cannon fodder, he didn't care whose men died... But after glancing at the remaining few, it seemed Gatt's men were the most suitable choice, so he issued the order unceremoniously.

"Yes..."

Gatt's face suddenly became exceptionally grim, but he could only comply, then sent a person out.

"Remember the position, you must remember it, no room for error..."

However, unlike before, Gagarin guided the cannon fodder step by step as they ventured forward...

"Yes, yes, right there..."

Following Gagarin's instructions, successive steps passed smoothly; just like with Charlie earlier, these Bronze Warriors didn't even move at all.

"Indeed, it really is like this..."

Seeing this situation, Gagarin became even more excited; the smile on his face shone brighter, his entire body became very excited, laughing and punching the air, he even forgot to continue directing the person making the attempt.

"Whew~~~"

Gatt couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; in his view, Gagarin had found a way to break through the Bronze Warrior Formation on the Second Floor of the Underground Palace, so his people wouldn't have to die anymore, making him quite happy.

Smack~~

"Ah~~"

However, whether they rejoiced too soon or for some other reason, the challenger standing there unmoving was suddenly slapped to death by a nearby Bronze Warrior.

"Fuck... How did this happen?"

Just moments ago, everything had been fine, and the Bronze Warrior hadn't reacted at all, yet in just over ten seconds, the Bronze Warrior struck.

Gagarin was furious, nearly going insane, grabbing his head and rubbing it uncontrollably; fortunately, he was a bald black man, otherwise... if he had hair, his scalp would have been peeled off a layer.

"Gatt, send another one..."

Gagarin understood clearly, there was definitely something he had overlooked here, he needed to figure it out... But to expose this issue, he needed to keep sending people up to probe, immediately instructing Gatt again.

No other choice, Gatt could only send another person up...

"No, I'm not going, I'd rather die than go... Captain, send someone else, I don't want to die!"

One guy, fearing death, went crazy and started shouting when Gatt looked at him, nearly turning to flee immediately.

"Not going? Then die!"

But what greeted him was Gagarin's ominous face, and violent palm energy, striking this unfortunate fellow atop the crown; his entire body seemed as if disassembled alive, emitting an incredibly eerie scent, then collapsed into a pool of sludge.

If you sniffed closely, you could vaguely smell a sinister odor... Like the corpse had immediately begun to rot.

If Qin Fang were here, he would surely be even more wary of Gagarin, because that palm was indeed unusual, as if he practiced a highly sinister dark art... and reached an exceptionally high level.

"I'll go, I'll go..."

When Gagarin's gaze shifted to the last member of Gatt's team, that person almost without thinking stepped into the Bronze Warrior Formation.

"Follow the previous route, keep moving... don't stop!"

Gagarin was quite satisfied with this outcome, and continued to guide from the side, but suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Wait, the time... yes, the time!"

"Continue forward along this route, don't linger... keep the time within five seconds!"

This time, Gagarin seemed to have figured out the pattern of the Bronze Warrior Formation, guiding the challenger step by step forward... If no one had succeeded in the challenge so far, he might have rushed in himself.

Third stage, cleared!

Fourth stage, cleared!

Fifth stage, cleared!

Sixth stage, cleared...

The continuous breakthroughs by the challenger also verified Gagarin's suspicions, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face. Soon, the challenger crossed the seventh stage and was heading toward the last two stages.

Compared to Gagarin's excitement and joy, Gatt now had no mood at all... His team was basically wiped out, only two people were left, and he was almost a solitary commander!

No, not almost, but... truly a solitary commander!

Just as the challenger stepped onto the eighth stage, before he could react, a sharp longsword slashed directly across his waist... The sword was extremely sharp, almost cutting through iron like mud, how could a mere human body withstand it?

"Ah~~~ Captain, save me!"

With a tragic scream, the challenger was cut in half at the waist... organs and blood spilled all over the ground, creating a particularly gruesome scene, and the challenger did not die immediately, calling out to Gatt for help with a shrill voice.

Unfortunately...

As the team leader, Gatt could only turn his head away helplessly, not daring to look any longer... Being wounded to such an extent, there was no saving him, especially not in this underground palace.

In the end, the resentment-filled eyes of the challenger gradually faded until there was no breath left... His eyes remained open, as his death was too tragic, but it was all futile.

"How could this happen? Everything was going so smoothly!"

Gagarin didn't care about the death of the challenger; he was concerned about why the route he chose had an error...

The first seven stages had no problems, but changes occurred at the eighth stage, and as Gagarin recalled, he found that Charlie and his team had followed the same route he had just guided...

But Charlie and his team had no problems, whereas he did... this was quite strange!

Looking at the last two stages in the distance, Gagarin's gaze became particularly sharp... his mind was racing with countermeasures.

Force through?

That's one way, but not very feasible... The Bronze Warriors in the last two stages are armed, with faster attacks and reflexes than the previous stages. Even a Grandmaster-level expert may not withstand it.

So, he could only continue to slowly attempt it as before...

"Only two stages left, that's much simpler!"

The smile returned to Gagarin's face, and his mood improved significantly, "You guys, all of you come over... keep going, I don't believe we can't succeed!"

"Uh..."

Hearing Gagarin's words, the four people including Gatt all had expressions that changed drastically... it was finally their turn to be sent to their deaths?

...

"Hmm, the third group of people should be arriving... the second floor of the Underground Palace won't hold much longer!"

Qin Fang looked at the entrance to the second floor of the Underground Palace in the distance and murmured.

He had modified the difficulty of the eighth and ninth stages on the second floor of the Underground Palace, but it was only to create some small troubles... yet if the opponents continued to sacrifice lives to try, they wouldn't be obstructed for long.

This was a helpless move. If Charlie and his crew had passed through the Bronze Warrior Formation a bit faster, Qin Fang wouldn't have needed such trouble... Deciphering it on their own would have required considerable time, unless they had a Grandmaster-level Formation Master among them!

However, things had come to this, and he could only accept this reality reluctantly... Fortunately, Qin Fang had also bought them some time.

"Alright, we've rested enough, we should take action... if we wait any longer, they might really break in!"

Having rested for a considerable time, Qin Fang's arms had almost fully recovered. He immediately stood up, called out to the others, and was ready to proceed... The third floor of the Underground Palace was not small, and there was more than one Dark Chamber.

Since such treasures as the Spirit Revitalizing Pill were found in the previous Dark Chamber, there might be similar treasures in other chambers, and Qin Fang didn't want to miss these treasures. With time pressing, he had to hurry!
