Chapter 1165: Chapter 476: Kill Level 5 Again Chapter 1165: Chapter 476: Kill Level 5 Again Wang Tao thought about it and acted immediately. He arbitrarily picked up a few stones and placed them into two treasure chests, then tried to put the treasure chests into the Space Backpack.

Swish–
Both treasure chests disappeared without a trace!

“It works!”

Wang Tao clenched his fist in satisfaction, but he wasn’t finished yet. He attempted to open the chests inside the Space Backpack, but the chests didn’t respond at all.

“Can’t open them, huh…”

Wang Tao immediately waved his hand.

With a thud, the fine treasure chest hit the ground with a muffled sound. Wang Tao opened the chest again and saw the stones inside.

“…Looks like this is the only way to do it.”

After some testing, Wang Tao found both good news and bad news.

The good news was that if he filled the chests with unnamed items, he could put them, along with the chests, into the Space Backpack. This was essentially the same as being able to pack anything into the Space Backpack.

The bad news was that once he put the treasure chests into the Space Backpack, the chests and their contents became one entity, and he couldn’t open the chests while they were in the backpack. He had to take the chests out first to open them.

Of course, calling it bad news was splitting hairs.

It’s just one more step, no big deal!

After all, he couldn’t pack other items before, but now it seemed like he could put anything into it, even if it meant an extra step, he was satisfied.

With such chests, he could move lightly even when mobilizing with the entire team!

However, there were things that couldn’t be packed in the chests, one being other treasure chests, as chests couldn’t be stacked within each other. The other was living things. Wang Tao had just found a mutated plant nearby and discovered he couldn’t pack it unless he depleted its HP bar. But once it was stored, it would be exactly as it was when put away. Unlike Wang Tao’s Space Backpack, it wouldn’t automatically clean off blood, viruses…

“I wonder if the chest can be placed on the vehicle… Should I give it a try?”

Wang Tao planned to go back and test it. Of course, not with his own vehicle. He’d find an armored vehicle to try, considering the chest was quite heavy. It wouldn’t be good if he damaged his car.

“Let’s go.”

Wang Tao picked up the treasure chest and, together with Lightning, moved again toward the poison lake.

After some time, the man and dog arrived at the lake once more.

Wang Tao took out two antidote potions.

“We’ll go to the other side of the lake and use the antidote potions first.”

Pfft!

After administering the potions, both Wang Tao and Lightning had a [Poison Immunity] status appear on them, then they entered the water together. Before the three minutes were up, Wang Tao barely made it to shore.

But as soon as he landed, he was attacked by the mutated plants.

Watching the approaching tendrils, Wang Tao coolly drew his sharp long knife with black flames flickering along its edge.

Swoosh–
A black shockwave appeared, instantly shattering countless tendrils in front of him.

Simultaneously, Wang Tao’s eyes emitted a red light as he looked towards a crevice in the nearby rocks.

Sizzle–
[-190384]
[0/200000]
“Just a small Tier-Five Elite Mutant Plant–shit!”

Before Wang Tao could even finish boasting, suddenly, numerous tendril monsters appeared from the stone crevice. All of them were of an Elite Tier-Five level!

Faced with the dense, writhing mass of mutant tendrils, Wang Tao felt a bit numb, not out of fear, but more from a sense of trypophobia.

Moreover, given the sheer number of Tier-Five Elites, there was a good chance of a Tier-Five Lord being present.

However, these creatures looked somewhat familiar to him, resembling the Iron Tree Vines he had seen before, yet with some differences. The Iron Tree Vines didn’t quite resemble plants, but instead seemed like fake tendrils carved from metal. On the contrary, the tendrils in front of him looked more authentically plant-like…

Wang Tao scanned the area and didn’t spot the Tier-Five Lord for the moment. He prepared to have Lightning stay aside while he took care of these Tier-Five Elites.

But Lightning barked once, indicating its desire to fight as well.

“You… right, let’s do it together!”

Wang Tao didn’t want Lightning to get hurt, as Lightning was just a Level 4 Lord while there were at least a hundred Tier-Five Elites present–an overwhelming mismatch in strength.

But after seeing Lightning’s attributes, Wang Tao felt it needed some real combat experience and couldn’t be treated like an ordinary military dog.

Having followed Wang Tao around, Lightning had consumed a large number of Lords. With the help of its [Gluttonous Feast] Awakening, its HP had reached a staggering four hundred thousand!

Wang Tao’s own HP was less than two hundred thousand, while Lightning had a whopping four hundred thousand. He was curious about Lightning’s current strength.

With Wang Tao’s approval, Lightning barked excitedly and its body quickly grew larger. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a massive dog nearly three meters tall and five meters long.

“So cool!”

Wang Tao praised before charging forward with his knife.

While his [Scorching Eyes] technique was useful, it consumed a lot of Awakening Energy and was better suited for large bursts of power or fighting Lords. In situations like now, with a multitude of monsters scattered around, wielding his knife was the better choice.

Lightning roared and rushed into the midst of the mutated plants with Wang Tao.

Wang Tao’s battle style was always rather brutal, but compared to Lightning, his slashing seemed almost gentle.

Because Lightning’s attack method was simple–it lunged and bit. Any monster killed by Lightning didn’t remain intact; some were even bitten into fragments!
