1606 Mission Accomplished (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
The rare phenomenon of the crimson sky lasted for the whole night. It finally faded away slowly at dawn.
Mo Fan had no clue whether the Island of Oblivion had appeared at the end of the Red Sea. Shreev did say that the Gate of the Underworld would remain open for three years. During this period, the Underworld would no longer be a separate world, and its true appearance would slowly be revealed to the world.
However, the army invading the Underworld was not from a country, but the Kingdom of Undead from China!
The Ancient King had always been passionate about opening up new territories. The Underworld where the undead were living in peace might be the place that he was looking for all along!
------
In the land of Gisele, both the night sky and the ground were dyed red. Cries of undead filled with rage and humiliation echoed across the place.
Seven figures were weaving through the basin, heading for the Bargo Land. They were none other than Mo Fan and his crew, who had just escaped the Pyramid.
”I can finally enjoy some fresh air!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
”Yeah, it has only been a little over two months, but it felt so long...” Meos said.
”Well, from what I observed, I believe we spent almost four months in the Pyramid, instead of just two months,” Shreev spoke up.
”Four months?”
”Really? No wonder it's so torturous. We almost spent half a year in the Pyramid!”
No inventions of magic technology worked in the Pyramid. Even watches powered by coil springs were inaccurate. Therefore, the group was only able to estimate the time that had passed by the time it took their energy to recover. To their surprise, it had been four months instead. They were spooked at the thought of it!
”It took us longer to recover our energy because the presence of magic is not as strong inside the Pyramid,” Shreev concluded.
”Anyway, it's a relief that we found the way out. Let's head back to Cairo!” Heidi said.
”I'm going to fill up my room with chicks!” Zhao Manyan blurted out excitedly.

Cairo eventually showed up on the horizon after the group left the Bargo Land. The sky was bright by the time they reached the city, but the deathlight from the Pyramid of Khafre was still shining upon the land. The war had not ended. The outskirts of Cairo were surrounded by thick gray clouds that were applying a suffocating pressure to the city!
”The war hasn't ended yet? It's been so long!” Mo Fan said in surprise, looking at the battlefield.
”It won't end so easily. It's only in the third phase at most… but, it doesn't look too good for the city,” Meos said.
Cairo City was just ahead. Just as the group was about to go inside, Mo Fan sensed an unusual presence nearby.
