The Little Loach Pendant diligently produced more than twenty Warrior-level Soul Essences for Mo Fan. If he could sell them, he would easily become the richest man in his country!

He instead fed all the Soul Essences to the Magic Medium Ring. He could now Summon one hundred and thirty-three wolves, three times the initial number!

"I can really raise an army of wolves at this rate!" Mo Fan's heart pounded excitedly.

He would definitely feel a lot better having one or two thousand wolves around him, since he kept finding himself surrounded by huge numbers of demon creatures. Khufu had millions of undead following him, even though he was already dead. Mo Fan was clearly not asking too much to have an army of wolves under his own command!

"Space Rhythm: Titan Stomp!"

An invisible titan stomped the ground ahead, crushing a bunch of Underworld Warriors flat instantly. The Underworld Warriors had no flesh, their skeletal frames were their only support. Their bones scattered across the ground and almost filled the path ahead.

Heidi realized she could not kill as quickly as Mo Fan could, regardless of the magic she used, so she decided to use the simple and violent spell to clear the way. The Underworld Warriors had no way to withstand the powerful Stomp!

"Why is there no end to this passage?" Zhao Manyan grumbled impatiently.

They had covered a long distance in the passage, yet they still could not see the end of it. Meanwhile, the numbers of the Underworld Warriors remained the same. They kept running at the group endlessly.

The path from the chamber to their current location was stacked with the broken pieces of the Underworld Warriors!

"This doesn't make any sense. Even if the space inside this Pyramid is enlarged, there's no way the passage can be this long!" Even Shreev was confused.

Heidi had expended more than half of her energy. Mo Fan took over her role and started using some Advanced Spells to kill the undead at a quicker pace.

They continued on for more than another kilometer, but still did not reach the end. The distance they had covered was close to five kilometers. The passage was perfectly straight, too. Didn't that mean the space inside the Great Pyramid of Giza was the size of a valley?

The group's energy kept decreasing. If they had not made it halfway through the passage by now, the Underworld Warriors were going to wear them out eventually!

"Can someone think of a plan? We can't just keep going like this!" Mo Fan called out.

Mo Fan had had a pleasant time collecting Soul Essences, and the capacity of his army had reached one hundred and fifty, but they were still going to be wiped out eventually. A Mage whose energy had depleted was no different than an ordinary person. A single Underworld Warrior could easily kill them all!

"Stop yelling, let me think!" Shreev snapped.

"Heidi, is there a chance we are in an endless loop?" Mo Fan asked.

They were both Space Mages, thus they would notice if something was strange about the structure of the space around them. Mo Fan had a feeling that they would never find an exit no matter how far they went...

"Look out for me," Heidi said.

"Oh, alright," Mo Fan nodded. He saw Heidi close her eyes and listen carefully to the footsteps approaching from the distance.

A while later, Heidi's lips vibrated slightly, producing a faint melody that spread rapidly. When it passed Mo Fan, he heard a sound similar to the cry of a dolphin, drifting into the distance.

Three Underworld Warriors suddenly showed up around ten meters away from Mo Fan. They noticed that Heidi was in a defenseless state. Two of the Underworld Warriors charged at Mo Fan while the third one agilely moved across the ceiling to bypass him.

"Come over here!" Mo Fan's eyes glittered as he grabbed out.

An invisible hand clenched the smart-arse Underworld Warrior. As Mo Fan strengthened his Will, it crushed the Underworld Warrior to pieces. Its remains fell from the ceiling to the ground.

The other two Underworld Warriors arrived in front of him. Before Mo Fan could make his move, the Flying Creek Snow Wolf suddenly showed up. He tore the head off the first Underworld Warrior while pouncing onto the second. He then threw the Underworld Warrior under his paws with great strength!

The three Underworld Warriors died horribly. The one that was moving across the ceiling surprisingly dropped a Soul Essence, generating a grin on Mo Fan's face. That Underworld Warrior most likely had a stronger cultivation, so had higher odds of dropping a Soul Essence.

Mo Fan suddenly heard the dolphin cry passing by again. He turned to Heidi with a confused look.

Heidi's eyes were open. She was staring at Mo Fan with her dazzling blue eyes.

"It's a Looping Space!" Heidi declared firmly.

"What does that mean?" Mo Fan asked. He was not familiar with the term.

The Space Element had several branches. Some impressive builders could use the Space Element to create an enormous space in a narrow, confined area. The Three Step Tower at the Pearl Institute was one example, but Mo Fan had no clue how it worked!

"We are currently in a Lopping Space. I just made a sound that shouldn't be reflected, but the sound returned in less than a few seconds. It means the passage is less than two kilometers long, but the loop keeps us inside it," Heidi said. She used her Will to draw a simple diagram as she was explaining. She drew four thick lines across four different connections.

"But we are moving in a straight line!" Meos said.

"We were busy fighting the undead, so we didn't notice the four connection points. The passage is split into four segments. Whenever we pass by a connection point, we actually turn ninety degrees, so after passing four connection points, we return to our starting point," Heidi stated.

"Just tell us how we can leave this place!" Zhao Manyan interrupted.

"Two of the connection points are just simple turns; as for the other two, one will lead us to the chamber where we entered the passage, and the other is the exit we are looking for. Keep moving, I'll let you know when we reach the connection point," Heidi said.

"Got it!"

Killing the undead with their heads lowered was not as effective as actively looking for the way out. Luckily, the group did not wait until it was too late before wising up. They would be in deep trouble if they went searching for the connection point after their energy was depleted!

Mo Fan continued forward. The Underworld Warriors blocking his path all turned into Little Loach's dinner, their souls sent soaking in the Nether River.

After traveling for another six hundred meters, Heidi suddenly told everyone to stop. She used sound to probe the passage, and soon noticed an echo coming from less than a hundred meters ahead.

"An echo came less than a hundred meters ahead. It means there's a connection point there; it might be our exit," Heidi blurted out in joy.

"Well done!"

A hundred meters was not far. The group stopped at the spot that Heidi mentioned after taking care of the next wave of Underworld Warriors.

Mo Fan would not have noticed anything strange about the spot if he was in the middle of a fight. However, if he stood still and paid full attention to his surroundings, he could easily sense the space being twisted. It was indeed a ninety-degree turn, as Heidi had mentioned!

"Break!" Mo Fan used his Will to shatter the connection point that was misdirecting the group with brute force, not waiting for Heidi to do it.

The connection point was quite fragile, since an area was only stable if the space was connected properly. Even Super Spells could not influence the stability of space, so it would be extremely fragile after it was manipulated!

The never-ending passage broke into pieces like a mirror, vanishing into thin air.

"There's really an exit here!" Meos glanced ahead with joy.

In front of them was a huge wall with an arc-shaped entrance, leading them to a spacious hall lit up with flames. They could even see an engraved altar in there.

The group did not want to stay in the never-ending passage any longer. They immediately rushed toward the entrance.

The entrance was incredibly huge, the dark wall resembling a massive creature. It felt like the end of the world was being blocked off by a dark sturdy barrier with an entrance that seemed to be designed for giants. The seven of them felt extremely tiny as they went through!

The group realized that the hall was designed for some kind of a ceremony, with an altar as tall as a mountain at its center. They could barely see a statue on the altar when they raised their heads...

The statue was not alive, Mo Fan was quite sure. He wondered why most of the lifelike statues had to be alive. They gave him the urge to pay extra attention whenever he saw a statue, but this time, he was confident that the thing was just a statue. The only strange thing about it was that the statue was depicting a hound instead of a human!

"It's the Revered Hound from ancient times. The ancient Egyptians considered it the Pharaohs' most loyal guardian. This must be a place where they offer delicacies to their god," Shreev said while observing the surroundings carefully.

"It's just a dog. Did they really treat it as their god?" Zhao Manyan sniffed disdainfully.

"Some demon hounds are indeed quite strong!" Mo Fan recalled the battle against the Dreadful Curse Cerberus. It had definitely revised Mo Fan's understanding of dogs!
