Chapter 105 The Living Army Borrowing Paths to the Underworld

A few hours later, the Spark left the Stone Mill Hell.

This time, the ground beneath my feet turned back into the dark earth of the past.

Li Xin was more cautious this time. Instead of letting Xinghuo continue to sail forward blindly, he used the production workshop to build a batch of reconnaissance drones and began to deploy them in all directions.

Soon, a series of images were transmitted back to my eyes.

The Chen father and daughter also came over.

"What is this? It can even see everything along the way?" Chen Caiwei exclaimed in astonishment.

Li Xin smiled slightly.

"Camera."

Under Yunzhi's remote control, the drone swarm flew towards a more distant direction.

Not long after, one of the drones transmitted a scene that stunned everyone.

An army of living people walking across the desolate wasteland of the underworld.

The scale is as large as 100,000.

Everyone in the army wore a black hat and black clothes, with a white hemp rope tied around their waist and cloth-soled shoes.

Without speaking or exchanging words, everyone moved forward in silence, their steps very low.

At the front of the procession, a hundred sorcerers, holding soul-guiding banners, sprinkling yellow paper, lighting incense and candles, and sprinkling talismanic water, cleared the way for the army.

On both sides of the procession, a group of Taoist priests, holding magical artifacts such as the Soul-Suppressing Bell, the Yin-Yang Mirror, and the Blood Talisman, vigilantly scanned and guarded the area.

"What is this thing?" Li Xin asked, puzzled.

These must be people from "above," but why are they doing this?

Chen Zhu leaned closer to the screen and glanced at it a few times, his expression suddenly changing drastically.

"Borrowing passage to the underworld! This is actually borrowing passage to the underworld!"

His voice trembled as he spoke.

This descendant of the Chen family then offered an explanation.

In the underworld, whether dead or alive, one can instantly travel to any region of the mortal world by simply thinking of what one desires.

Therefore, the system of "borrowing a path to the underworld" evolved.

This is a miracle of "traveling ten thousand miles in a day".

"I see." Li Xin nodded.

Although this mortal world is backward, it has many unorthodox methods, some of which are even astonishing.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Caiwei couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile.

"Lord Li, borrowing passage to the underworld is not something that can be done so easily."

There are many rituals for passing through the underworld.

The first step is "opening the Yin Gate," which involves setting up an altar in the area with the strongest Yin energy within the country to perform rituals and invite the gods.

After entering the underworld, one must sprinkle yellow paper, light incense and candles, and sprinkle talisman water along the way, without stopping for a moment.

Every ten li (approximately 5 kilometers) must be covered by ringing a bell once.

If they encounter wandering ghosts blocking the road, the emergency response team will send them away with yellow paper money; if they encounter a group of evil spirits blocking the way, they will disperse them with black dog blood.

Even if they manage to borrow a route by sheer luck, things won't be peaceful afterwards.

Sooner or later, the underworld will discover that someone is using this passage on a large scale and will definitely investigate to the end.

Everyone's lifespan was shortened to only one year. The Taoist priests and Taoist masters responsible for the ritual and escorts were punished even more severely for deceiving the priests during the ritual, and died suddenly.

Even dynasties had to set up altars to apologize afterward, offering thousands of livestock and sacrifices to beg the underworld for forgiveness.

After hearing Chen Caiwei's explanation, Li Xin's expression changed.

Chen Zhu then pointed to the flags raised by the army on the screen.

"I never expected this to be the Jing Dynasty's army!"

The Jing Dynasty is the mortal enemy of the Daqian Dynasty, to which the father and daughter belong, and the two countries are currently locked in a fierce battle.

At this critical moment, the Jing Dynasty had clearly dispatched this elite force, intending to use the underworld as a route to launch a direct attack on the capital of the Qian Dynasty.

Li Xin's gaze lingered on the screen for a moment before turning to the new coffin nails he carried with him.

He couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Since that's the case, I might as well do you a favor."

As the Jing Dynasty army marched cautiously, they suddenly heard a booming sound coming from afar.

Looking around, a mobile city suddenly appears.

Flesh Butcher Machine Gun, Tiger Crouching Cannon, City Machine Gun, Hover Tank, Missiles, Anti-Magic Stone Wing Aircraft with Machine Guns... Under their astonished gazes, the Starfire unleashed its full firepower.

In an instant, the barrage of bullets swept across, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and Jing Dynasty soldiers were sent flying in swathes like wheat being harvested in autumn.

Where the firepower passed, all that remained were mangled flesh and blood and scorched earth and bomb craters.

Even the Taoist priests and sorcerers who wielded magical artifacts were killed instantly, with more than half of them dying.

The Jing Dynasty army attempted to organize a counterattack, but their combat effectiveness was negligible.

Faced with a complete system of modern weaponry, the armor and swords of the Jing Dynasty soldiers were pitifully poor.

Their arrows couldn't even get over the deck of the Starfire.

An army of 100,000 men was completely annihilated without any resistance.

"Oh my god..."

""

The father and daughter of the Chen family trembled as they looked at the scene before them.

The scene was so bloody and horrific that even the enemies felt a pang of pity.

Li Xin nodded slightly.

The competitive advantage brought about by leading military technology was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Technology has always been the primary productive force, regardless of the world or civilization.

He looked at the coffin nail in his hand, which was now frantically accumulating karmic retribution due to the actions of the Starfire.

Its nail gradually changed from jet black to dark red, and then from dark red to crimson, and its malevolent aura became so intense that it was beyond compare.

This is why Li Xin chose to take action.

The massacre of 100,000 people, and the karmic retribution accumulated from those 100,000 people—in fact, it goes far beyond that. The sudden annihilation of the 100,000-strong army and the complete failure of the Jing Dynasty's surprise attack are like a butterfly flapping its wings, which may lead to the downfall of the dynasty.

Therefore, the accumulated karmic retribution is far greater than imagined.

The battle ended quickly.

The Starfire encountered no significant resistance whatsoever and easily slaughtered the Jing Dynasty army before it.

As far as the eye could see, corpses littered the ground.

New personnel were dispatched to collect blood from the battlefield in order to plant a new batch of malevolent potatoes.

Just then, a furious roar suddenly came from afar.

"What are you doing?"

The voice was deep and resonant, like muffled thunder rolling from the ground, causing the deck of the Starfire to tremble slightly.

My heart sank as I left.

Judging from the aura of the newcomer, he was undoubtedly the powerful being he had sensed outside the Gates of Hell.

"Very well, let me see just who you are!"

A figure strode briskly towards them from afar.

He was hundreds of meters tall, with a broad back and a powerful build, and a huge horse's head on his head, with a mane as black as ink.

This is actually the legendary Horse-Face.

This is a righteous god of the underworld, a colleague of the Black and White Impermanence, and a bailiff in front of Yama's palace, specializing in apprehending the souls of the dead and escorting evil spirits.

At this moment, Horse Face stared wide-eyed at the Starfire in front of him, his nostrils flaring with heavy breaths.

This legendary figure was also dressed in a rather imposing manner, wearing a dark red official robe, a gold belt around his waist, thick-soled official boots, and carrying a black iron chain as thick as a bowl in his hand.

Before Li Xin could speak, he spoke up in a mixture of fear and apprehension.

"Mobile cities? What, is this another one of your human civilizations?"
