Following Dave, Xiemen Waidao finally left the Dark Forest.
A border guard post appeared before the two of them, its exterior built with tall blocks of stone, within which faintly lingered the scent of some strange artifact, enhancing the defensive capabilities of the place.
In this world, artifacts were primarily applied in the military field. Each artifact’s military use had to be determined first, before considering civilian applications.
However, civilian usage was extremely limited. With humans occupying only one-third of the territory, the four nations had entered a state of total mobilization, with the quality of life barely maintained at a level where no one died.
At a certain distance from the guard post, Dave stopped.
Looking at the guard post now close at hand, Dave said helplessly, “Mr. Xiemen Waidao, I can’t go any further. There are many Scouts nearby, and we will be discovered once we approach. Previously, taking Wang there has led the Soldiers at the post to identify me as a Cultist beguiled by the Demon King; I’ll be arrested as soon as I show up.”
“No problem, I have a Divine Artifact.”
After all, as Xiemen Waidao with a multitude of unlocked abilities, detecting this place was not difficult.
In Dave’s expectant gaze, Xiemen Waidao unhesitatingly took out a ritual dagger and promptly gouged out his left eye.
The newborn left eye sprouted its own wings and quickly flew toward the guard post in the front, starting to covertly observe the situation there.
“Hmm, the defenses are quite tight, and it seems difficult to find any vulnerabilities. No good, we’ll have to think of another way.”
Dave nervously swallowed and whispered, “You gouged out your own eye without any hesitation at all?”
“Why hesitate when it doesn’t hurt? Alright, I’m going to kill myself and go back now; keep an eye on this body for me.”
Before Dave could stop him, Xiemen Waidao had already pierced his own neck with the ritual dagger.
This dagger was a type of Divine Artifact, officially named the “Life Dagger.”
Every Divine Artifact had the effect of creating magical items, but some had more complicated methods of creation, while others were simpler.
The Life Dagger fell into the latter category of simpler items; fulfilling the act of piercing was enough to create a similar magical item, whether the target was alive or dead.
Creating a detectable eyeball was just one of its applications and the most common one at that.
However, using this thing to pierce one’s own neck and turning one’s body into a magical item, that’s probably something only Xiemen Waidao would do.
Watching Xiemen Waidao become a corpse right in front of him, Dave was at a loss for words.
My gods, what have I witnessed?
But before he could come to terms with it, a new Xiemen Waidao had already appeared.
Looking at the reappeared Xiemen Waidao, Dave swallowed his dry saliva and asked incredulously, “How did you come back?”
“When we shook hands before, I investigated the effects of the magical item on you and then copied the effect that could get me out of here. Don’t worry, your own effect is still there, and you’re fine.”
“It’s not about whether I’m fine or not, it’s… it’s…”
Dave struggled to articulate his concerns, feeling that something about Xiemen Waidao’s actions seemed off, yet he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.
While he grappled with the source of his eerie feeling, Xiemen Waidao had already pierced his neck once more.
Another new corpse of Xiemen Waidao appeared, with the two bodies standing side by side, akin to a mirror, only the wound on their necks was slightly different.
Crouching to one side, Dave felt that this Xiemen Waidao must not be a minion of the Demon King.
The Demon King’s minions weren’t this crazy.

In half an hour, there were already more than thirty corpses of Xiemen Waidao accumulated here.
Though they were corpses, they were still ‘alive.’
Their souls had vanished from within, leaving behind only puppets that stood there and could only obey Xiemen Waidao’s commands.
It wasn’t until he had forty controllable corpses that Xiemen Waidao stopped, satisfied. Then, pointing towards the guard post, he commanded, “Charge!”
“What are you doing!” Dave couldn’t hold back any longer and grabbed Xiemen Waidao, asking, “Didn’t I tell you there are Scouts at the guard post?”
“That’s why I have my avatars charge.”
“Can’t you understand human language?”
“So you really don’t get it, do you?”
Looking at Xiemen Waidao’s pitying face, Dave felt he had too much to learn.
Forty walking dead shambled towards the guard post, the Scouts stationed there immediately spotting these creatures and reporting the situation to the post. Soon, a large number of Soldiers rushed to the scene, engaging with the forty undead.
However, upon contact, they realized that these puppets created by the Life Dagger were astonishingly powerful, and the Soldiers were easily defeated, knocked to the ground.
Watching the scenario he had created, Xiemen Waidao said with satisfaction, “I knew puppeteer tactics had a market. Why doesn’t anyone else believe it?”
“Perhaps it’s because they’re not as crazy as you,” Dave said weakly.
“Young man, your knack for quipping needs work. If it were my good friend Liuzi, he could come up with something far more amusing right now. Alright, let’s get ready to move in.”
