Chen Qing stepped onto the stairs leading to the twenty-ninth floor of Tianbao Tower, his mind taut.
In the center of the stone chamber, two puppets stood silently.
They were somewhat taller than the puppets on the lower floors, their entire bodies clad in ancient-looking armor. Beneath their faceplates, two points of scarlet light locked onto Chen Qing.
Gang Strength Late-stage! And two of them!
Chen Qing could clearly sense that the aura fluctuations emanating from these two puppets had both reached the Gang Strength Late-stage level. The pale golden gang qi radiating from their bodies was incomparably solid, like two volcanoes on the verge of eruption.
