1594 Infinity Space (1/2)

The empty third chamber had been a great surprise to the group. It meant there was only one chamber left: the chamber with the symbol of an eagle!
They took the right door and headed for the last chamber without taking a rest.
”We shouldn't be far from the Day and Dusk Compass after this one, right?” Zhao Manyan asked.
”Yes, our job is done once we turn the pointer on the Compass,” Mo Fan said.
”That's good to know; we can finally leave this place after we're done with the last chamber!” Zhao Manyan let out a relieved sigh.
”What did I tell you? When the boat reaches the mountain, it will go straight with the current!” Mo Fan proclaimed.
”Indeed!” Zhao Manyan nodded.
Mu Bai rolled his eyes while listening to their conversation. How was the boat supposed to go straight with the current if there was a mountain in front of it!?

As the new chamber was about to show up, everyone prayed that the chamber was empty, just like the one before. It would mark a happy end to their adventure!
However, was the Great Pyramid of Giza really that easy to overcome? Either way, it was still the most dangerous golden tomb in the world. The group was shocked by how spacious the last chamber was as soon as they set foot inside it!
It was no chamber; it was the whole sky!
The chamber did not have a ceiling. There was no wall apart from the passage they had come from. If the floor had not been built with bricks like the previous chambers, they might even think they had left the Pyramid and arrived in a valley outside!
”Do any of you see a sarcophagus?” Meos asked.
”I don't even see a door, let alone a sarcophagus!” Zhao Manyan answered cautiously.
The chamber was oddly huge. It was difficult to tell to what extent the space had been compressed. Only a Space Mage close to reaching the Forbidden Level could construct such a space!
”What do we do now? Do we go inside or turn back?” Shreev struggled to decide.
”This chamber… forget it, if this place is a chamber, we are living in funerary urns instead… I believe the space might be empty too...” Mo Fan ventured.
There was nothing but golden-brown bricks along the floor within their field of view. The spacious area seemed to be empty. There was no sign of the guardian that was supposed to be related to an eagle.
”How about this? The two of you with the Space Element take a look around. The rest of us will wait here. If anything happens, it's easier for you to escape with your Space Element,” Shreev suggested.
The others immediately looked at Mo Fan and Heidi. The two exchanged glances with one another.
Mo Fan bravely took a few steps forward. He reached his hand out to signal Heidi to grab his hand so they could move together. Heidi ignored his gesture and boldly traveled a few dozen meters ahead. Mo Fan had no choice but to stick his hand into his pocket and follow her.
