”Chief, could this be the Endless Corridor?” said Su Xiaoluo.

Fang Gu nodded. He glanced to the back and said, ”Look, we aren't far from the entrance, either.”

Everyone turned around. As Fang Gu had mentioned, the distance from the entrance was nowhere close to the distance they could cover after walking for over ten minutes.

”If the teachings are accurate, the key to overcoming this place is hidden inside these carvings. If I remember it correctly, it should be this one here,” Su Xiaoluo suddenly walked up to a carving and focused her gaze on a pattern resembling a woman from the ancient era.

She reached out her hand and touched the marks and the woman on the carving softly...

Slowly, Su Xiaoluo's eyes began to show different kinds of emotion, as if her soul was hooked into the artwork.

”Did she go into the illusion?” Mo Fan glanced at Su Xiaoluo in surprise.

Su Xiaoluo's expression changed continuously. She would look furious or sad at times. Even though it was changing rapidly, every expression seemed to be real.

”She is interpreting the illusion. This corridor must be a combination of the Psychic and Space Elements. If we can't find the key to the illusions inside the artworks, we will be trapped here forever...” explained Fang Gu.

Su Xiaoluo stood in her spot. The pace of her expression changing increased. Sometime later, a wisp of light appeared ahead of the corridor. They could now see the end of the corridor, just less than a hundred meters ahead!

Su Xiaoluo's eyes returned to normal, although her thoughts were still lost as she was recovering from the illusions.

”Are you alright?” asked Zhang Xiaohou.

Su Xiaoluo shook her head and replied, ”It turns out that the people from the villages are the only ones allowed to enter. Anyone else would easily be trapped in the illusions, leading to their deaths.”

The group found themselves in a spacious hall after reaching the end of the corridor. The place was constructed with white jade. The ground was so smooth that they could see their reflections...

Pillars stood firmly around the place, each one so thick that it would need four or five people to surround it. Their surfaces were full of runes that Mo Fan could not understand.

The hall seemed rather empty. The only sound was the footsteps echoing in the spacious hall.

The group proceeded forward. Mo Fan suddenly felt the Little Loach Pendant vibrating on his neck.

He was surprised. Since the Little Loach Pendant had eaten the Underground Holy Spring, it had never shown any interest in other sources of energy. Mo Fan almost forgot that the pendant was the kind of Magic Tool that was able to evolve further.

Little Loach had finally burst out crying in excitement after so many years. It was trying to tell Mo Fan through its intense vibration that it had found some delicacy nearby!

Mo Fan looked in the direction that the Little Loach Pendant was urging to go and discovered a stone table at the center of the hall, with a crystal-like lotus on it. He sniffed an alluring scent as he approached the table.

”Over here, do you remember seeing this in the drawing at the bottom of the well?” Mo Fan called the others over.

The hall was completely sealed off. There was no other path further into the tomb. Apart from the rather suspicious runes on the pillars, the strange lotus on the table was the only thing that stood out.

”I... guess so...” said Su Xiaoluo with a lack of confidence.
