Chapter 93 Passing through the Gates of Hell, Exploring the Underworld!

As he spoke, the mysterious messenger waved his hand and performed a spell. Grayish-black magical power condensed in his palm, faintly containing the force of countless thunderbolts.

Li Xin's heart tightened instantly. Judging from the momentum, this attack would be absolutely devastating.

He hurried forward and quickly showed off the few sinister potatoes he was holding.

"Sir, please wait!"

Upon seeing these sinister potatoes, the ghost messenger's eyes revealed an expression of disbelief, and even his hand stopped moving.

His fierce, dark face gradually relaxed, and he even smiled.

"This is.

The next second, his figure shrunk rapidly and appeared in front of Li Xin, casually picking up a sinister potato and examining it closely.

"Good stuff! Good stuff indeed!" he exclaimed repeatedly, his face beaming with joy. "One bite of this stuff could probably add several months to my lifespan!"

Li Xin and the people around him subconsciously took a few steps back.

As living people, they could clearly sense the presence emanating from the other person.

It was cold, heavy, and carried an inexplicable aura of death. Just standing next to him made one feel uncomfortable all over.

At this very moment, a new wave of vengeful spirits gathered from all directions.

Just as Li Xin was about to give the order to fire, the charlatan suddenly turned around, his dark face hardening again.

"Don't you have any sense? You bastards! Can't you see I'm doing something?" he shouted.

Upon hearing the sound, the spirits trembled violently and scattered.

"That's amazing!" Li Xin exclaimed.

He paused, rubbed his hands together casually, and showed a polite expression on his face.

"Sir, we were merely passing through and have no intention of offending you." He said, his gaze passing over the man and landing on the nearby Gate of Hell. "Excuse me... what happens to a living person crossing the Gate of Hell?"

The ghost messenger did not answer, but simply remained silent with a stern face.

Li Xin, observing Li Xin's expression, understood the situation and handed over a few more sinister potatoes.

The other party then beamed with joy.

"It's alright, it's alright. It's not a big deal for a living person to pass through the gates of hell," he said.

"Is that so?" Li Xin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"At most, it will only reduce your lifespan by half."

"6

'

Li Xin's expression froze instantly.

Half a lifespan?

Doesn't this mean that whether it's the elderly or children, once they go in, their lifespan is halved?

It seems my intuition was right.

"Then... could you lead us inside?" he asked.

Gui Cha nodded.

"I can use my magic to protect you and ensure your lifespans are not shortened. However..."

'

They understood each other perfectly.

"clear!"

150 evil potatoes.

This is the price the mysterious messenger is demanding to save everyone on the Xinghuo ship from certain death.

According to him, saving a living person from the gates of hell requires a significant reduction in cultivation and magical power. Furthermore, this goes against the common sense of the underworld, and their luck will also be reduced, which is why the price is so high.

But in Li Xin's eyes, the other party's mysterious talk was just an attempt to make more money.

After counting the potatoes, the charlatan waved his sleeve and collected them all.

Immediately afterwards, he jumped out of the Starfire and immediately regained his height of over 100 meters.

"Remember to stay close to me."

He tugged at the chain as he spoke.

The chained spirits immediately began to wail in agony, some even kneeling and kowtowing, begging the ghost messengers to spare them.

The charlatan merely gave a cold smile in response.

"Let you go? How am I supposed to explain this to my superiors?"

He then shook his head.

"It's lucky you're the unlucky ones who ran into a year like this!"

Li Xin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He looked down at the ghosts and found that they were dressed like ordinary people from ancient times. Many of them still retained the sallow, emaciated, and bony appearance they had in life.

"Officer, may I ask them...?"

"7

Before Li Xin could finish speaking, Gui Cha waved his hand and chuckled.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask," he said.

With the help of a mysterious guarantor, the Spark safely entered the gates of hell.

The moment he entered, Li Xin felt a strange sensation, as if he had suddenly plunged into the deep sea.

It was bottomless and extremely eerie.

Now, I have officially stepped into the underworld.

"Officer, is there a safe place in the underworld?" he couldn't help but ask again.

The ghost turned around and chuckled.

"For us, the underworld is safe everywhere. But for the living..."

""

Although he didn't continue, Li Xin already understood what he meant.

The underworld is the territory of the dead, and it is inherently unsafe for the living to step into it.

This problem wasn't free; the charlatan took another 15 evil potatoes from him.

Watching the other person happily put the potatoes away, Li Xin couldn't help but frown.

It turns out that even the dead get money, and they're insatiable.

For me, this is a good thing.

This means that any troublesome people encountered along the way can be bribed or even manipulated with the evil potato.

Things become truly difficult when you encounter someone who is utterly impartial.

"Speaking of which, which figures in the underworld are truly impartial and incorruptible?" he couldn't help but wonder.

After leading the Spark into the brink of death, the ghost messenger left without a word.

Li Xin entered the driver's seat and glanced at the instrument panel, only to find that the needles were spinning erratically and were completely malfunctioning.

After looking away, he began to ponder.

Human civilization has visited the underworld before, and must have accumulated experience and even methods.

Large organizations like Ark, the Cult of Myriad Machines, and the Chosen One must have a way to safely pass through the underworld.

But for small organizations or scattered, mobile cities, it's really hard to say.

Modern weapons are completely ineffective against ghosts. If it is a ghost or judge of a higher level, or someone with magical powers, then death is almost certain.

"Immediately facing a life-or-death situation, truly befitting an S-class world," he thought to himself.

Then, he glanced silently at the newly refreshed tasks.

[1. Pay a visit: Visit at least one well-known figure in the underworld. Reward: 1000 Evolution Points]

[2. Souvenir: Obtain at least one item from the underworld with a significant provenance. Reward: 2000 Evolution Points]

[3. "Scenic Spots and Historical Sites": Enter the Underworld. Reward: 3000 Evolution Points]

[4. Seeking Life and Death: Arrive at the Six Paths of Reincarnation and visit the Black and White Impermanence. Reward: 3000 Evolution Points]

Although the points offered are quite substantial, Li Xin won't do it easily this time.

This is the underworld; a single misstep could lead to utter destruction.

After closing the panel, Li Xin looked ahead.

Beyond the Gates of Hell lies the Road to the Underworld.

This road to the underworld seems quite ordinary.

The soil on the road was yellowish-brown, like an ancient post road that had been trodden by countless people and horses for millions of years.

The road surface was hard and cracked, and a dark, eerie green light slowly seeped from the ground.

As for its size, it is just a small path when you look at it up close, but as soon as you look away, the path stretches out rapidly and you can never see the end of it.

As Li Xin watched, his expression gradually became serious.

Legend has it that the Road to the Underworld is the only way to pass through the Gates of Hell.

That seems to be true now.

The road lay right in front of us, with nothingness on either side.

"It seems we have no choice but to take this path." He couldn't help but sigh.

Looking around, one could see thousands upon thousands of wandering souls on the road to the underworld.

Some of them walked with faltering steps, some floated in the air, some were alone, and some were in groups.

Footsteps came from not far away, and a group of people from the agricultural team walked over quickly.

"Lord, the new batch of Shadow Potatoes has been harvested," he reported. "The quantity is about the same as before, 300 each."

"Give me one. Also, we've run out of blood."

Li Xin nodded, and began to ponder.

He currently has a total of four or five hundred Yinxiu Potatoes at his disposal.

After what had just happened, he had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

A being of the underworld of the Guicha level would require 150 Yin Sui Potatoes to bribe.

With their current resources, they can barely afford to deal with three ghost messengers, let alone bribe higher-level figures in the underworld.

"We need to continue expanding the planting area," he thought.

Logically speaking, the safe blood collection limit for an average person in a short period of time is about 400 milliliters. Since each person has already had 100 milliliters collected, and after deducting the elderly, the infirm, the disabled, and those who are unwell, the collected blood is enough to grow about 2000 Yin-type potatoes.

This number immediately put Li Xin at ease.

He summoned Lu Chen and instructed him to begin preparations for blood collection and implantation.

Yun Zhi then offered a reminder.

"My lord, our reserves of exorcism ammunition are running low."

Li Xin waved goodbye.

"Go! Go all out!"

Thanks to spending a month in the primitive world, the Starfire currently has ample reserves of various resources.

If there's one bad thing, it's that I was unlucky enough to be transported to this underworld.

"On another note, wouldn't it also bring great misfortune to a living person trespassing on the road to the underworld?" he wondered.

So, Li Xin took a few more Yin-spirited potatoes and used them to bribe a wandering Yin spirit in the vicinity.

The ghost, whose face had been as gloomy as a pool of still water, suddenly beamed with joy after receiving the potato, and even bowed repeatedly to Li Xin.

"It's perfectly fine for the living to cross this road to the underworld, sir!"

At first he was smiling, but then he realized something and stopped talking.

"only...

Li Xin's heart skipped a beat.

"Just what?" he pressed in a deep voice.

"But after crossing the Road to the Underworld, the next stop is the River of Oblivion."

Upon hearing the news, Yan's heart sank.

The Gates of Hell, the Road to the Underworld, the River of Oblivion... these place names I've heard since childhood are now becoming reality one by one.

And he had no choice but to step in.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly.

Once you step into this gate of hell, there's no turning back.

He looked back at the ghostly figure before him, lost in thought.

"I'll give you a few more 'evil potatoes' so you can cooperate with me in an experiment."

A few minutes later, the ghost obediently stood still in place.

Not far away was a resident of the Starfire.

These are people specially selected by the new authorities to study magic.

As the residents chanted incantations, a fire spell was immediately unleashed upon the vengeful spirit.

However, it ultimately passed right through the opponent's body without causing any damage whatsoever.

Li Xin shook his head gently.

It seems magic isn't working.

I wonder if psionic energy would work?

Unfortunately, the Starfire currently lacks a psionic system and cannot cultivate psionicists.

After waving the spirit away, Li Xin was about to continue observing the Road to the Underworld, but an unexpected situation occurred a few minutes later.

A powerful and surging aura emanated from the Gates of Hell.

It was a pure, overwhelming, and utterly suffocating pressure.

Even though the other party was far away, the sense of oppression could already be felt from afar.

Li Xin's expression changed.

I never expected that such an extraordinary person was coming.
