Chapter 2428: First Entering the Underworld (Subscription Request)
After feeling the air nearby, Gu Xi looked around again.

He found that what he had just seen on the other side of the portal was correct.

The sky in front of me was a strange orange-red color.

At the same time, behind this orange-red sky, there is a strong smell of death.

Gu Xi thought of the information he had seen from "Origin of the Undead". The Way of Earth was upgraded from the Boots of Death, the Throne of the Dead was upgraded from the Amulet of the Undead, and the last Vampire Cloak was not upgraded to red equipment.

Judging from the current situation, the Road of Earth is the end of the Road of the Undead, and the Throne of the Dead is clearly the limit of the Undead Route. If the Vampire Cloak can be upgraded to red equipment, it will definitely be the pinnacle of the Undead Route.

It’s a pity that no one has been able to upgrade the vampire cloak into red equipment.

Not to mention combining the three pieces of equipment to form the legendary Ghost King's Cloak.

Gu Xi, who wanted to understand the current situation, looked up at the sky with a different look. His eyes focused and he saw the shadow of a throne behind the orange-red clouds.

Just when Gu Xi wanted to see the throne clearly, everything disappeared again, and only orange-red clouds were floating in the sky.

Gu Xi wanted to take a closer look, but he heard a rustling sound coming from nearby.

Gu Xi didn't even turn his head, and the man holding the Time Torrent Equipment appeared beside him immediately.

Then more than a dozen bone arrows flew towards Gu Xi.

Only then did Gu Xi notice that a group of skeleton archers appeared in the bushes.

These skeleton archers were wearing tattered leather armor, rusty iron helmets, and half a boot on their left feet. Only the wooden bows in their hands were intact.

Dressed like this, he is clearly an ordinary skeleton archer who has never been upgraded or had his equipment strengthened.

Most of these skeleton archers are trained in evil temples. Gu Xi hasn't seen such a weak skeleton archer in many years.

But he never expected that he would encounter such skeleton archers in the Underworld, and that they would actively attack others.

What is this situation?
As soon as Gu Xi thought about it, the armed men with spears appeared at the first moment. Twelve armed men holding different spears held their spears horizontally. As long as Gu Xi gave the order, they would rush forward.

These equipment bearers can fully utilize the effect of purple equipment. These skeleton archers in front of them are not powerful undead. Now Gu Xi can see at a glance that their strongest is only level 4.

In this situation, let alone the spearman, even if Gu Xi released two undead at random, he could kill them easily.

Just as Gu Xi was about to give an order, a voice came from a distance.

"Whoever is at the portal, don't do anything, please don't do anything."

Hearing the voice, Gu Xi looked over there, then raised his hand to tell the man holding the spear not to take action.

But everything seemed to be a step too late. A skeleton archer was about to attack Gu Xi again, but a man with a spear counterattacked immediately and nailed the skeleton archer to the spot with the spear.

The next moment, a gray light with a faint blue soul fell on the skeleton archer who had just been killed.

Three battle halos of different colors suddenly appeared under the skeleton archer's body, and then the skeleton archer crawled out from the ground.

Although it was only a moment of life and death, this skeleton archer was completely different. He was wearing special bone armor that flashed with metallic light, a cloak like black mist on his back, and in his hand was a bone longbow that was more than one person tall. The handle of the longbow was engraved with the pattern of a flying griffin.

When he got up again, the skeleton archer immediately raised his longbow and aimed the arrow with magical light at Gu Xi.

At this moment, a player rushed to a position not far in front of Gu Xi.

This player is clearly not human.

He had a pair of sharp horns on his head, and he was holding a skull in each hand. As he ran towards Gu Xi, the two skulls kept screaming.

When he ran in front of Gu Xi, the player blocked the skeleton archer who was about to attack, and at the same time swung the skull in his hand outward, driving away the ordinary skeleton archer at the beginning.

Then he took out a note and handed it to the Skeleton Archer who had turned into level 60, pointing him in the direction and letting him leave.

Then he said to Gu Xi: "I'm sorry, I was out for something just now and didn't notice you coming over."

"Are you human?" Gu Xi asked curiously, "What's going on? What does he mean?"

The player said to Gu Xi: "Me? I am not human, I am from the Double Blade Clan, a clan under Lord Liu Quan, and a subordinate player race.

Our entire clan is serving Lord Liu.

Managing and herding countless undead souls.

My name is Kajiado, a level 16 shepherd of the dead.

He is also the guardian of this portal. We received a notice yesterday that someone was coming.

It's just that something happened suddenly just now, and I had to rush to deal with it, and almost missed your arrival."

Kajiado explained to Gu Xi.

However, Gu Xi was more concerned about what had happened just now. Gu Xi was somewhat confused about everything here.

Kajiado also explained at this time: "Those undead are the undead I herd. My mission here is to take care of them."

"That's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is what happened to the skeleton shooter who was killed."

Gu Xi interrupted Kajiado's chattering.

"I know, but you have to let me explain it from the beginning.

This may mean you don’t understand the situation in our Underworld.

Because our Underworld has such good feng shui, nearly a million undead souls pour in here every day.

If we open the reception to everyone, the Underworld will be overcrowded in less than two days.

So we need to classify these undead souls.

Those with levels above 5 must all be sent to designated places and buried.

Only those below level 5 will be released into the underworld."

After listening to these words, Gu Xi's doubts grew stronger.

At this time, Kajiado pointed nearby.

"As for what happened just now, look at what that was."

Gu Xi looked in the direction that Kajiado pointed and found a tower vaguely visible in that location, the Soul-Calling Tower.

"The Summoning Tower?"

“That’s right, in the Yellow Springs Realm, we have set up countless soul-summoning towers.

This is Lord Liu’s ability. Don’t you know how many wild undead spirits we have released into the underworld?
They are all only level 5, so if we need to, we can destroy them directly..."

Having said that, there was no need for Kajia to say anything more, Gu Xi understood Liu Quan's thoughts.

Directly kill all wild undead of level 5 and below, and then use necromancy on a large scale through the necromancy tower.

There are various skill enhancements such as necromancy, undead knowledge, undead enhancement, undead construction, etc., and there may also be corresponding equipment enhancements, and there may even be an upgrade to the Throne of the Dead in the end.

He can immediately transform so many wild undead corpses into undead troops that Liu Quan can control.

The level of these undead will definitely not be below level 5 when they were alive, but will directly increase from level 5 to level 60, and garbage cannon fodder will become core troops.

The most important thing is the number. Even if Gu Xi didn't ask, he knew how easy it was to get wild undead below level 5. He also knew how many undead could be raised if a star field was fully utilized to raise them.

If the entire Underworld was like this, then there would be enormous potential for war.
