    “Stop marveling and come help me with this.” Qin Muye quickly found the mechanism to open the entrance.


    “Don’t act so rashly. I suspect this iron gate and iron walls are part of the Yin Mountain Lord. If you do manage to split it open, we would need to skedaddle immediately.”


    “Relax, I won’t screw you over.” Qin Muye pressed him down into a chair with lightning speed.


    “Open up!!!”


    “All right, professor, what shall we do next?” Zongsi came over and asked Qin Muye.


    ...


    “Huff~ Huff~ Professor Li, we’ve succeeded.” Zongsi said, panting heavily.


    “It looks like we’re in the Yin Mountain Lord’s control room,” Qin Muye said.


    “Professor Li, can you open it?” Zongsi asked.


    “Professor Li, step back a bit, I’m afraid I might injure you when the time comes.” Zongsi walked over and then warned him.


    “Let’s not wait then, I’ll break through the door.” Hearing it would take some time, Zongsi naturally couldn’t wait and decided to take matters into his own hands.@@@@


    “Wait a minute, I have to use some shadow skills to increase my power, otherwise, I can’t pull it open, and considering the situation, even if I unfasten the door bolt, I still won’t be able to open the door.”


    “Are you sure? I always feel like it seems a bit unreliable.” Zongsi was a bit torn, instinctively feeling there was something off with this thing.


    “Holy shit, it’s actually there. Professor Li, you’re freaking awesome.” At this moment, Zongsi couldn’t help but let out an expletive. He used to think this was a great treasure; now, he felt this person was like an ancestor.


    “Really? The Yin Mountain Lord is that huge?” Zongsi was also shocked.


    “Zongsi, go close the door properly, we’re going to seek revenge on the ancient shadow monster.”


    “Zongsi is really powerful, managing to pry it open bare-handedly; so, how about you go in first?” Qin Muye suggested.


    “Let’s go, let’s get in quickly.” Saying that, Zongsi drew his Wolf Head Blade from his waist and easily shattered the obstacle.


    Immense strength burst forth, and the soil burying the door bolt underground loosened continuously from his pulling.


    Well, it turns out, a shadow this capable of being a general is no ordinary one; he forcefully pried the iron door open, creating just enough space for one person to pass through.


    There was no special mechanism; it was simply a huge door bolt buried underground...


    The weapon in his hand was part of the Shadow Equipment, and combined with Shadow Skills, even modern alloys could be slashed through, let alone the iron gate made with ancient and inferior smelting techniques.


    He now suspected that this device might be a large Mecha. Don’t ask how it was made—when a system that can animate even shadows exists, why not an ancient Mecha?


    The iron gate wasn’t heavy; the main issue was the soil since the lower half was buried. There was no time to dig it out, so they had to resort to brute force to pull it out along with the dirt.


    The next moment, the pipe-like conduits began to wriggle, countless shadows started flowing into the chair, and the supervisor’s consciousness was abruptly withdrawn. A colossal existence awakened in an instant, and due to the surge of power, the supervisor ignored why Muye Qin was able to easily restrain him in the chair, a fact that defied logic.


    A burrow concealed by various weeds and fallen rocks—had it not been for Muye Qin’s careful identification, even the supervisor might have missed it.


    With a roar, a huge silver-white giant wolf emerged behind the supervisor, and he forcefully pulled the massive gate bolt upright, later shifting from pulling to lifting, to stand it completely erect.


    Therefore, he hoped that the ancient weapon named Yin Mountain Lord within would be relatively intact.


    Under Muye Qin’s guidance, the two quickly arrived at the location.


    After delving deeper, they encountered an iron gate and walls forged from Black Iron. Considering the thickness, a significant amount of Iron Ore must have been consumed in its construction back in the day.


    It looked like the other party had not had a light consumption.


    This was at least about five meters tall.


    This made the supervisor even more thrilled.


    The obstructions seemed almost artificially placed. As the two entered the burrow, it was clear it was not a natural feature but a structure chiseled out by humans.


    A normal burrow wouldn’t be so smooth, and some artifacts were even left behind, although they were now considerably old.


    The recovering supervisor glanced at Muye Qin with a speechless look, “Professor, if you want me to lead the way, just say so. There’s no need to be so indirect about it.”


    Muye Qin, who was figuring out how to open the door, couldn’t help but make a wry remark.


    Yet the supervisor was puzzled—there was no control device to be seen, just a chair not far from there with a skeleton seated on it.


    The supervisor was eager, hence his quick actions.


    A light source emerged in the supervisor’s hand, brightening the pitch-black burrow for Muye Qin’s convenience; after all, in his eyes, Muye Qin was merely a Shadow who had just entered the Real Shadow phase, without even fully awakened his own shadow, lacking night-vision capabilities.


    The supervisor swallowed hard, “This is simply too incredible.”


    The supervisor was merely teasing, not daring to let Muye Qin take the lead. Instead, he went in first to investigate and then said, “Professor, come on in, it’s safe.”


    The supervisor knew his Shadow was more adept at assassination than strength, and therefore he needed a BUFF. If it had been Qing Jiao, he might have been able to pull open the gate with his bare hands, but not the supervisor.
