Chapter 619: Chapter 398 Entering the Underworld_2

“`

At this moment, Zi Liyuan had already completed the assessment of Liu Yiqing and his team. It was time to significantly upgrade their equipment.

It was known that, apart from Liu Yiqing, who possessed a set of silver hero gear, the rest of the team’s equipment consisted of scattered pieces of silver hero gear, with jewelry and accessories still at rare blue quality.

After the upgrades, Liu Yiqing’s strength could increase by thirty percent.

As for Bol and the other three, their combat power could likely improve by twenty percent without much issue.

Having sent Liu Yiqing and his team off, Zi Liyuan gave further instructions to Kulong and Edward.

The former was in charge of the Specter Dragon Lord Boss Legion, currently obliterating the path of the Alien Lords.

Edward, on the other hand, managed some affairs within the territory, acting as the intelligence chief, paying close attention to detecting vampires and Shadow Souls.

When the Underground Gate was discovered, he dispatched over a hundred scouts to explore the Underworld, yet suffered heavy casualties with little intelligence gathered.

In less than half a minute, powerful Bosses like Orochi and the Spider Queen gathered.

“Reduce your size, and come with me to have some fun in the Underworld.”

Looking at their colossal forms, Zi Liyuan quickly addressed the Spider Queen and Orochi.

Among this group of Bosses, it was these two whose true forms were unimaginably large.

Taking these Bosses, Zi Liyuan headed towards the location of the Underground Gate.

The tunnels dug by the insects twisted and turned. If it weren’t for the map hack that Zi possessed, he truly might have been confused by these tangled paths.

Arriving at the closest surface location to the Underground Gate, Zi’s gaze landed directly on Orochi.

“Orochi, dig down from here, thirty meters. Be careful not to cause a collapse nearby.”

Orochi’s strength was undeniable, especially with eight different elemental attributes, allowing it to act like an elemental turret.

Now tasked with digging a hole, it was simple for it, given its earth-element control power.

After reducing its size, the massive serpent turned into a serpent monster, over ten meters long and as thick as a human waist, with its earth-element head slowly lifting.

The serpent flicked its tongue, emitting a yellowish-brown light from its mouth.

When the yellowish-brown light touched the ground, it acted like aqua regia, with extreme corrosiveness, dissolving the soil and stones.

A one-meter-wide circular hole extended downward, with the surrounding soil collapsing towards the hole, immediately dissolved by the yellow light upon contact.

Within just over ten seconds, a downward-stretching, one-meter circular hole reaching over thirty meters deep appeared in front of Zi Liyuan.

“Nice technique for digging. Let’s go; we’ll head in first to clear out any dangers.”

Among this group of people and monsters, the tallest was Old Iron, standing over three meters tall, with a body width nearing a meter.

The hole made by Orochi was just right.

Orochi flicked its tongue, then its serpentine body became a blur, quickly slipping into the hole.

Upon reaching the bottom tunnel, without hesitation, it slipped into a pitch-black teleportation gate, directly entering the spatial dimension of the Underworld.

The Spider Queen followed closely, jumping into the hole, and then each Boss followed.

Of course, Zi was the last to enter.

In the underground tunnel, it was pitch black. If it weren’t for his night vision, he truly wouldn’t be able to see the thin black film embedded in the rock wall.

This thin black film was embedded in the wall with only a small vortex at its center slowly rotating, making it easy to overlook this Underground Gate.

“Very concealed, and it can even block Spirit detection. If I hadn’t come face-to-face and seen it with the naked eye, I might not have found this entrance at all.”

Neither Spirit detection nor the map hack revealed this thing, frustrating Zi, who wanted to improve his detection skills. But seeing the gray derivative mutation enhancement conditions behind the “Eye of Death” left him disheartened.

Compared to many skills, having already used the Nether Crystal Core for derivative mutation enhancement for the fourth time, the “Death’s Eye” was not among them.

This detection skill required 100 million nether energy for its next derivative!

If Zi put all his skills to use, he could barely meet the requirements, but the new skill evolved from this derivation was entirely unknown, with no description at all.

Who knew if the new skill could detect those rule products shielded by the Sea of Realms and the Heavenly Dao!

Gambling on a skill with his ultimate trump card wasn’t something Zi wanted to do.

After all, this was the Sea of Realms, where even in the Novice Village, unexpected situations could still occur.

If his power couldn’t stay at its peak, any sudden changes might lead to capsizing.

So, this was something that couldn’t be done for now.

Shaking his head, Zi Liyuan touched the vortex on the teleportation gate and was sucked in the next moment.

With a blink of an eye, he found himself in a vast cave.

In sight, a layer of thick, purple-black mycelium covered the cave, completely masking its original appearance.

“Indeed, it’s the Insect Race forces. This mycelium gathers and transmits energy, hatching various larvae and providing them with energy and nutrients.”

The map hack couldn’t detect things shielded by the Sea of Realms, but once Zi entered the Underworld, the nearby terrain, and peculiarities all appeared in his mind.

The location of the Underground Gate was on the edge of the core area of the Insect Race’s old nest.

On the map hack, there was an adjacent, even larger cave on the left, which was the Insect Race’s hatching workshop.

At present, this hatching workshop was swarming with countless insects, with tiers ranging from unranked to fourth tier.

The sheer number reached at least several hundred thousand, but there wasn’t a single Boss insect inside.

“Not normal, and where did Orochi, the Spider Queen, and the others go?”

Looking around and even checking the map hack, no trace of Orochi and the Spider Queen, who entered a step earlier, could be found.

Zi Liyuan frowned slightly, then connected to the contracts within the Sea of Consciousness of the Purple Mansion with Spirit communication.

Amidst the mysteriousness, the contract power linked the parties, and Zi Liyuan quickly sensed the aura of Orochi and other Bosses.

The aura was very close, seemingly around him, but nothing could be seen with the naked eye.

Even with various detection techniques, Zi Liyuan still couldn’t see their figures.

However, when he calmed his mind and used the Nether Spirit detection within a fifty-meter range, their original life essence aura finally appeared on the map hack in his mind.

“An illusion technique?”

Zi Liyuan furrowed his brows, opening and closing his eyes several times in succession without seeing Orochi and the others.

Yet, on the map hack, these Bosses surrounded him, providing protection.

“Luckily, Liu Yiqing hasn’t arrived yet; otherwise, being trapped in this illusionary realm might lead to unexpected situations.”

Upon opening his eyes, he saw a change in the originally dim Insect Race nest.

One after another, seven to eight-meter-tall insects broke through the mycelium, emerging from all directions.

These insects reacted swiftly to the intruder, but Yuki-onna was even faster!

Countless snowflakes appeared in an instant in this Insect Race nest, and before long, the snowflakes fell onto the insects emerging.

As the snowflakes fell, a layer of white ice frost began to form on the surfaces of the emerging insects.

In nearly a single breath, the insects covered by snowflakes transformed into ice sculptures!

Whether small unranked insects or huge fourth-tier insects, none could withstand the ice frost power within these snowflakes.

Even the mycelium transmitting energy was frozen into ice shards under the snowflakes’ cover!
