While slaying monsters was easy, the sheer number of them was overwhelming.

A preliminary visual estimate suggests that there are no fewer than five hundred monsters crammed into this space.

Just kidding! Killing five hundred chickens would exhaust several strong men, let alone these ferocious monsters!

As time went by, their physical strength gradually ran out.

Aki's figure was no longer ghostly, and the horizontal sword in Tang Yu's hand was no longer fierce.

"boom……"

Just as the two were about to reach their limit, a deafening explosion erupted from the center of the monster horde.

The terrifying explosion created a shockwave in the confined space. Through the thick smoke, Tang Yu managed to turn his head slightly.

Lying on the ground, Ye Sheng laboriously tapped the smart panel on his diving suit, controlling the robot he had previously used to scout ahead, which then self-destructed in the center of the monster horde.

This simple action seemed to drain Ye Sheng of his last bit of strength. He collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Ye Sheng: "I absolutely adore those lunatics in the Equipment Department now. Explosions truly are a man's art!"

Tang Yu: "That's what I think too."

Tang Yu changed his knife-holding posture, from holding the knife with both hands to holding it with one hand.

His other hand, meanwhile, stealthily reached for a gun at his waist.

This gun has a strange design. From the outside, it looks like a large-caliber revolver, but its bullets are unusually large, and the entire gun only has a capacity of one shot.

The alchemical equipment [Dragon's Breath of Light and Dust] is sponsored by the Equipment Department.

The bullet's warhead is engraved with a high-level alchemical array in mithril, while the primer is painted a striking bright red, signifying that this is a high-risk alchemical weapon.

"Little ones, look this way, Uncle is taking you to see the fireworks!"

Tang Yu grinned, aimed at the area where the monsters were most concentrated, and with a slight flick of his finger, pulled the trigger.

The next second, he seemed to see heaven!

A dazzling beam of light shot out from the muzzle of the gun. This beam of light, like a divine judgment descended from heaven, carried unparalleled power and destroyed everything in its path with unstoppable force!

The attack tore a large, visible gash through the monster horde, and with its remaining force, slammed into the bronze wall, leaving several unsightly cracks.

"Wow...this is really something!" Tang Yu exclaimed in surprise, then spun the half-damaged gun in his hand a few times before throwing it away with force.

"boom……"

Another deafening roar followed.

Another group of the menacing monsters was blown down, and the pressure on Tang Yu and Aki was greatly reduced.

"It can be reused, how environmentally friendly!"

The repeated explosions stunned the entire monster horde! Taking advantage of the monsters' momentary daze, the two of them exerted their strength simultaneously, once again forcing all the monsters in front of them back.

Judging by the time, it should be about time!

A faint sound of gears turning came from behind them. On the smooth bronze wall behind the three, a dark cave gradually appeared, then slowly expanded, eventually forming an exit large enough for an adult to bend down and pass through.

"Senior sister, you take senior brother and go first. I'll hold them off for a while... Don't worry, I'll definitely rush out when the passage is about to close."

To prevent the melodramatic "let's go together" trope from appearing in TV dramas, Tang Yu added another sentence.

"Don't even mention going together. These things run like mad dogs. We can't outrun them in Bronze City!"

Aki was silent for a moment, then picked up Ye Sheng, squeezed out the last bit of strength from her body, and ran desperately outside.

At this moment, what she needed to do was not to thank Tang Yu, her savior, but to run outside as fast as she could.

Only in this way can we live up to Tang Yu's sacrifice...

------------

41 Constantine

In Ye Sheng and Ya Ji's view, Tang Yu's choice to stay behind at this moment was actually a choice to sacrifice himself to save the two of them.

However, at this critical moment, Aki didn't have time to think about... why Tang Yu was so calm.

Logically speaking, even if someone decides to sacrifice themselves, they will show some anxiety.

But Tang Yu showed no signs of anything unusual.

It's not that he's gone mad, it's just that... the cheat software recharge has been credited to his account!!!

When Tang Yu first transmigrated to this world, he thought he was the protagonist of a third-rate novel.

With a system or an old man by his side, along with monstrous talent and the luck of a chosen one of the world, he cultivates and levels up all the way, conquering the world, and finally reaching the top of the world and winning the heart of the beauty.

Unfortunately, for the first sixteen years of his life, his cheat software top-ups never arrived...

Until a few minutes ago, at the most intense moment of the battle, a strange voice rang in his mind.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the "grandpa" model of the cheat.

A few minutes ago...

"So tired... I feel like there's a fire burning in my lungs. Have I reached my limit?" Tang Yu gasped for breath as he swung the Heavenly Seal Treasure again, severing one of the monster's claws in front of him.

Just as he was breathing heavily, an ethereal voice rang out: "What a weak heir, a frail body, a frail soul, a frail will... You're utterly useless!"

Tang Yu looked around warily and found nothing but endless monsters.

"A hallucination?"

"No! It's your senior!" The voice rang out again, and this time, Tang Yu confirmed the location of the voice's owner.

In his mind!

"Who are you?" Tang Yu asked in his mind without stopping his hands. He used the method of meditation.

"I am you." The mysterious voice seemed very dissatisfied. "Seriously, how could you be so weak! You're such an embarrassment!"

Tang Yu: "..."

"Hey boss, I don't even know who you are. Is it really okay for you to start criticizing me like this?"

"Oh dear! I was being inconsiderate. I forgot you don't know my identity yet." The mysterious voice in my mind was silent for a moment. "Never mind, knowing too early won't do you any good. Let's keep some distance between us for now. After all, distance makes the heart grow fonder."

Judging from his tone, he's a hidden big shot!

Anyway, let's hug it first. Whether it has skinny legs or big golden legs, we'll know after we hug it!

Thinking of this, Tang Yu's expression became obsequious, his face beaming with a fawning smile.

"Hey boss, we've been stuck here for so long, is there any way to get rid of these monsters?"

"There is a way..." The mysterious voice pondered for a moment, then said, "However, you are too weak to withstand my power. If you want to explode and die, I might consider it."

"Forget it, I haven't lived enough yet."

While slaying monsters, Tang Yu was having a secret conversation with an unknown entity in his mind.

After Ye Sheng and Ya Ji had safely evacuated, Tang Yu finally spoke, talking to the other person as if to himself.

"Hey kid, these things are piling up everywhere, aren't you going to consider it?"

Tang Yu: "What are you considering?"

"Of course, run!" The unknown being's voice sounded exasperated, seemingly very dissatisfied with Tang Yu's performance.

"At the southernmost point, a passage leading directly to the outside world will appear in two minutes. Seize the opportunity; you only have half a minute to pass through."

Tang Yu estimated the distance between himself and the wall and remained silent for a moment.

"Damn it, I'll risk it! I don't want to stay here and feed these monsters."

Tang Yu pulled a piece of specially made dry rations from his belt and swallowed it hastily with some water, which was considered a slight replenishment of his strength.

Then he began his monster-slaying adventure, hacking and slashing his way through the monsters...

His physical strength had long been exhausted, and the only reason Tang Yu was still able to move was because of his strong willpower.

By the time he had hacked his way to the point where the passage would appear, he had dozens of wounds of varying sizes on his body.

Although the blood loss wasn't fatal, the continuous loss of blood still made Tang Yu feel dizzy for a moment.

He bit his tongue hard, forcing his muddled mind to clear.

Looking at his physical condition, Tang Yu forced a bitter smile. "This is terrible! Luckily, my Word of Power is king in the water. If it were someone else, even if they escaped from here, they would lose their life in the water outside."

The continuous deaths instilled a sense of fear in these mindless monsters, but Tang Yu knew very well that this was only temporary.

Soon, the bloodlust in these beasts' minds will overcome their fear, and they will pounce once again.

However, by then, he should have already successfully left this awful place.

Tang Yu forced himself to stay alert, leaning his body against the wall, waiting for the exit to open, while a voice in his mind counted down for him.

"3, 2, 1..."

……

The timer ended, but the expected exit did not appear.

"what happened?"

Tang Yu patted the wall behind him; judging from the sound, it was still solid inside.

"Are you looking for my garbage chute? I've sealed it off." Just then, a slightly childish voice rang out from the darkness.

Those monsters, who were fearless of death and eager to hunt fresh flesh and blood, actually seemed somewhat frightened after hearing this voice!

They huddled together in the corner, cowering like statues, not daring to make the slightest move.

Tang Yu's searchlight had been damaged in the ongoing battle, so at this moment, he could only rely on a glow stick hanging from his waist for dim lighting.

With the faint glow of the fluorescent light, Tang Yu could barely make out the mysterious visitor hidden in the darkness.

It was a huge claw covered in blood-red scales, with golden eyes that shone like flowing gold, and fiery red scales, all of which showed that this was a genuine red dragon!

"This guy must be Samson! Damn it, why did I run into this guy? Am I going to have to perform a dragon-slaying act today? And that voice... it must be Constantine, right?"

Tang Yu appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was cursing furiously. He had run into two bosses; his luck was truly unbelievable!

At this moment, the voice in his mind also reacted. The power of that mysterious voice bypassed Tang Yu and was projected into reality. The air distorted, and a hooded figure appeared in this space.

The two big shots then ignored Tang Yu and started chatting back and forth, causing the atmosphere to become quite chaotic...
