I Have A Martial Dao World

Although they had already seen it through drones, witnessing this hundred-meter-wide and high exaggerated corridor in person still filled everyone with utter amazement!

The tank moved within it as if a toy car entered a tunnel!

Constructing an underground structure of this size was as challenging as building a subway.

While driving the tank, Li Pei looked through the observation window and couldn't help admiring, "The architectural scale of Qin Han always strives for grandeur. They don't care much about splendor, but it has to be big!"

At this moment, incessant "ding ding dang dang" sounds rang out on the vehicle's body, triggering countless traps.

Arm-length "Triangle Flying Shuttles" zipped back and forth like locusts! Using magnetic principles, they shot out of the east wall and were reclaimed by the west wall, only to be fired again;

It was no calmer on the ground, where suddenly, two-meter-long ground spikes would "thwang" out! Then slowly retract;

Even above their heads, enormous weights as big as a bed would crash down, turning one careless move into a pancake!

But these traps could only leave scratches at best in front of the half-meter-thick Composite Armor.

"These traps are pretty eco-friendly."

Lu Yao noted that the mechanisms and traps along the way could be recycled, even the last "weight" was the same. Connected by chains at the top, it could slowly retract after falling.

Li Pei, with the most experience, spoke, "These are just peripheral things used to drive away petty thieves. The really powerful stuff is inside."

No sooner had he spoken than the corridor flooded with underground water appeared in the distance.

Liao Qe, controlling the drone, said, "Be careful~ A battle took place here, there are traces of flamethrowers and cannons firing!"

Li Pei asked, "My lord, there's water ahead, what should we do?"

Lu Yao nodded, "No problem, keep going forward."

The girls trusted him completely, boldly driving the tank straight ahead.

Sure enough, mere one-meter-deep mud-water posed no obstacle for the modern tank, not even reaching the load-bearing wheels.

Yet various unfriendly creatures charged at them—swarms of corpse turtles, carnivorous mudfish and catfish, and a mess of miscellaneous insects and fish nibbled and gnawed at the tank.

Naturally, to no avail.

Lu Yao didn't bother wasting ammunition on these critters and simply rolled over them, allowing them to lubricate the tank's tracks.

The mud-water was now mixed with colorful hues, getting murkier.

After nibbling for a while, these messy creatures finally realized they couldn't eat the tank and scattered away.

By this time, the tank had also reached the midway point of this watery land.

Liao Qe shouted, "What a huge toad! Yikes~ Disgusting~"

The 10-meter toad swelled its pair of bulging eyes and occasionally stuck out its tongue to lick them; its back was covered with dense poisonous spikes, which were very off-putting.

"I've seen it too,"Lu Yao turned the gun turret, "If you find it disgusting, then as your junior, I'll take it out for you!"

He entered into the Spirit Refining State and locked onto the 10-meter toad through the Fire Control System.

He didn't even need devices like "laser rangefinders or ballistic correction sensors"; Lu Yao had all the data down pat.

He pressed the fire button, and the tank, advancing at full speed, suddenly fired. A burst of flame and thick smoke came from the barrel as a 120mm high-explosive shell was launched.

The arm-sized cannonball, traveling at an initial velocity of 1500 meters per second, carrying massive Kinetic Energy, precisely smacked into the giant toad's head!

The next moment, first a blaze shot up to the sky, followed by a thunderous explosion, and the 10-meter toad was blown into countless chunks soaring upwards, mingled with the mud-water falling in showers.

"Beautiful shot!"

The girls cheered again and again, as Lu Yao smiled modestly.

At this moment, the "automatic loading machine" had already finished loading the second cannonball.

Lu Yao replicated the process and blasted the second toad into oblivion! The deafening explosion also sent the other monsters scattering in terror.

The splash caused by the explosion also let everyone know that the water ahead was deep.

Lu Yao promptly shouted, "Senior sister, press the button on your left-hand side."

Considering their current positions, Lu Yao was at the gunner's seat on the left side of the turret, Liao Ya at the commander's seat on the right, with Li Pei and Liao Qe in the driving compartment at the front.

Liao Ya immediately followed her junior brother's instruction and a long tube extended upward from the tail of the tank. It was used for the engine to draw air when traversing deep water.

Next, the tank changed into a "submarine," charging forward triumphantly.

The two gigantic toads that had just been destroyed were the overlords of this area. With their demise, various insects and monstrous beasts in the water fled in fear of being too late to escape.
Experience tales at empire

The family passed through the swamp with ease, and the magnificent palace was now within sight.

Meanwhile

Chu Yun's team was being besieged by countless "Infected," suffering heavy losses.

These people, infected by an unidentified fungus, fought fearlessly to the death; the Izumo Warriors wielded machine guns and flamethrowers, gruesomely reenacting a "zombie battle."

At this moment, Colonel Arao deeply regretted and cursed with clenched teeth, "I shouldn't have brought these mortals down here to lead the way!"

The dense fog that was problematic had no effect on the well-built Samurai wearing gas masks.

But the coerced workers were easily infected, throwing themselves at the Samurai to spread the deadly spores, causing even those in the Organ Refining Realm to suffer.

Once the Samurai were infected, their movements became rapid and fearless, making them much more difficult to deal with than ordinary "Infected."

Their crazed, irrational attacks that didn't distinguish between friend or foe resulted in even more Samurai getting infected, with some in the Marrow-Cleansing Realm succumbing as well!

And so the vicious cycle continued...

Colonel Arao drew his sword, moved in a flash, and slew an "Infected" from the Marrow-Cleansing Realm.

The spores were useless against him; even if they invaded through his ears, mouth, nose, or eyes, his robust body quickly eradicated them.

Colonel Arao didn't even wear a gas mask, but he fought his way in and out without any trouble.

Just when he was about to continue, he was stopped by Kuki Ryuichi:

"Colonel! Don't deplete your True Qi! At most, we've entered the homeowner's yard, the difficulty lies ahead. You are our trump card, if you use True Qi now, we have no hope of conquering this place!"

Arao's expression darkened. The "True Qi" of someone in the Innate Realm was limited and precious, only those in the leak-proof realm could afford to squander it.

Kuki Ryuichi continued to persuade, "The relics will definitely have more powerful measures in the end, so let us preserve our strength. Let these lower-ranked Samurai serve the Emperor loyally."

Arao nodded slightly, no longer using True Qi to strike with all his might but relied on physical strength to wield his sword.

The remaining Izumo People, fewer than 50, set up a formation, slowly advancing with the cover of heavy machine guns and flamethrowers.

The mass of silhouettes roared as they charged, pulverized by the heavy machine guns. Upon their death, they would release a massive amount of spores to infect even more people.

Only the flamethrowers were most effective, turning the monsters into blazing torches.

With the help of the flamethrowers, the Izumo team gradually stabilized their formation, coordinated better, and improved their clearing efficiency.

At that time, an unusual fluctuation passed through the air.

A group of "Infected" looked up towards the sky, stunned for a few seconds before quickly breaking away from the fight and running towards a certain location.

Kuki Ryuichi quickly shouted, "Follow them!"
