Chapter 398: Entering the Underworld_2
At this time, Zi Liyuan had already passed the assessment for Liu Yiqing and his group of five, and it was time for a significant upgrade to their equipment.
You should know, except for Liu Yiqing who had a set of silver hero armor, the rest of the equipment of the other five was merely pieces of silver hero armor, including accessories and ornaments which were still of blue rare quality.
After this swap, Liu Yiqing's strength could increase by thirty percent.
As for Bol and his group of four, an increase of twenty percent in combat power should be no problem.
After sending away Liu Yiqing and his companions, Zi Liyuan gave instructions to Kulong and Edward.
The former was in charge of the Specter Dragon Lord Boss Legion, currently continuously overtaking the route of the Alien Lords.
Edward, on the other hand, managed some affairs within the territory and, importantly as the head of intelligence, was highly invested in the detection of vampires and shadow souls.
When he discovered the underground gate, he dispatched hundreds of scouts to explore the Underworld, but unfortunately, the casualties were heavy, and not much intelligence was gathered.
In less than half a minute, Orochi, the Spider Queen, and other formidable bosses had gathered.
"Shrink down a bit, follow me to play in the Underworld."
Looking at each one's massive size, Zi Liyuan quickly said to the Spider Queen and Orochi.

Among this group of bosses, only these two had truly massive real bodies.
Leading these bosses, Zi Liyuan walked toward the location of the underground gate.
The passageways in the underground caverns dug by the insects were twisting and turning; if Zi someone did not have a map hang-up, they really would have been dizzy from these messy paths.
Upon reaching the closest surface position to the underground gate, Zi someone's gaze turned toward Orochi.
"Orochi, burrow down from here, thirty meters deep, take it easy, don't cause a collapse nearby."
Orochi's strength was incredibly strong, especially with its eight different elemental attributes, allowing it to function like an elemental artillery.
Now, having it dig a tunnel, possessing the power of Earth Element control, was very simple.
Its body shrunken, the massive snake transformed into a ten-plus meter long, waist-thick, eight-headed serpent. Now, the Earth Element head of the serpent slowly raised.
The snake's tongue flickered slightly, emitting a yellowish-brown light that spewed from its mouth.
Upon contact with the ground, the yellowish-brown light acted like aqua regia, with strong corrosiveness, corroding and dissolving the mud and sandstone on the ground.
A one-meter-wide circular tunnel gradually extended downward, and any soil touching the yellowish-brown light at the edge of the tunnel dissolved into nothing.
In just about ten seconds, a circular tunnel directly leading thirty meters underground, one meter wide, appeared in front of Zi Liyuan.
"This tunneling technique is excellent. Let's go in first and clear the dangers around."
Among this group of people and monsters, the largest was now Lao Xu, over three meters tall and nearly a meter wide.
The tunnel Orochi created was just right.
Orochi, with its forked tongue flickering, transformed into a blur as it dived into the tunnel.
Upon reaching the bottom cave channel, without any hesitation, it entered a pitch-black as ink portal, directly leading into the dimensional space of the Underworld.
The Spider Queen followed immediately behind, jumping into the tunnel, followed by one boss after another.

Zi someone had reason to suspect that these insects' leader was also a Legendary Boss!
If so, it was necessary to bring along same-tier, same-grade bosses.
Given Zi someone's penchant for mob-style fighting, one certainly couldn't bring just one Legendary Boss to stir up trouble.
"Lao Ma, from now on, until Liu Yiqing contracts a suitable mount, you will serve as her mount for a while."
The Black Dragon is not something I could let go of, it's a top-notch mount that can be ridden day and night.
So the newly subdued Undead Jade Horse can be temporarily ridden by Liu Yiqing, without any issue.
"Understood, Master."
The old horse snorted, the sound tinged with reluctance, yet it did not defy its master's order and honestly walked up to Liu Yiqing.
"Thank you, My Lord."
A fourth-tier peak Epic Boss, and it was in the form of a horse, no less, capable of treading the air—a truly top-notch mount with equally formidable fighting abilities.
Liu Yiqing was very satisfied, this wave could increase her combat power by at least twenty percent!
The reason it was only twenty percent was because without a contract, it was difficult to achieve a unity of mind and mutual enhancement of strength to their fullest potential.
However, Liu Yiqing was content, after all, this was a fourth-tier peak Epic Boss mount, something that others could hardly obtain!
This Undead Jade Horse was much stronger than the Sub-Dragon Beast Boss.
"Yuer, I leave the management of the territory in your hands for now, I will be back soon."
The exploration of the Underworld was merely intended as an initial survey by Zi Liyuan; tapping its full potential would have to wait, as that would require much more effort.
He almost ruled over Area No. 10086 by now, and it wouldn't be long before the city within this region would emerge, which he must capture when the time comes.
"Sure, Li Yuan, be careful."
Fan Yuer nodded, even though she knew how powerful Zi Liyuan was, a trace of worry still flickered in her eyes.
In the Sea of Realms, accidents were everywhere; even a Great Emperor-level powerhouse could stumble.
"Don't worry, I'm aware of my limits. Liu Yiqing, you all first go through an equipment upgrade, then join me."
Having escaped the control of the remnants of the Coalition of Nations, it was time to enhance their combat prowess.
Zi Liyuan was planning to cultivate an elite team specifically to hunt down those powerful Alien Lords.
He alone could not keep up. Now, having only occupied Area No. 10086, there were a full 20,000 regions in Novice Village No. 99 to take over, not to mention the territories in the Underworld!
"Yuer, among you four sisters, whoever is handling the late-stage resources, take Liu Yiqing and the others to swap for a set of higher-quality equipment."
"Okay."
Fan Yuer nodded and then gestured for Liu Yiqing and the others to follow her.
Before entering the Sea of Realms, Zi Liyuan had processed most of the equipment in his Space Column, leaving only a few sets of equipment with top-tier attributes, all of Lord-grade.
As for Epic and Legendary quality equipment, it was divided among the Fan Family sisters, Yurou, Mo Yi, and Sikong You.
The remaining Epic equipment, which either had special functions or attributes lower than those of the same quality, was not kept by him but given to Fan Yuer and the others to manage the logistics, naturally storing those he couldn't use.
By then, Zi Liyuan had already assessed Liu Yiqing and the others, and it was time for a significant equipment upgrade for them.
Apart from Liu Yiqing, who had a complete set of silver hero equipment, the rest wore parts of silver hero equipment, with accessories and jewelry still using blue rare-quality items.
After this swap, Liu Yiqing's strength could increase by another thirty percent.
As for Bol and the others, an increase of twenty percent in combat power shouldn't be a problem.
After sending Liu Yiqing and her crew off, Zi Liyuan instructed Kulong and Edward.
The former was in command of the Specter Dragon Lord Boss Legion, presently continuing to annihilate Alien Lords.
Edward, on one hand, managed some affairs within the territory, and as the chief of intelligence, was particularly focused on detecting Vampires and Shadow Souls.
In less than half a minute, Orochi, the Spider Queen, and other powerful Bosses all gathered.
"Everyone reduce your size a bit, let's go have some fun in the Underworld."
