He initially thought the Underworld Warriors were as lowly as the Underworld Executioners, yet they turned out to be so ferocious. They had almost died to the first wave of attacks!…
“As expected of the Great Pyramid of Giza, even the lowest-level Underworld Warriors are so strong!” Shreev exclaimed.
The Underworld Warriors of the Pyramids he had been to did not really pose any threat to him, apart from their insane numbers.
“More are coming!” Heidi heard more synchronized footsteps approaching from the walls.
“How many of them?” Mu Bai asked.
“At least three times their current numbers,” Heidi deduced.
“Three times… doesn’t that mean we are dead for sure!?” Zhao Manyan yelled.
“Damn it, why do I have to come to this shitty place with you guys?” Sayed cried out in pain after a wind blade cut his arm.
“We have to choose a door and clear a path. We can’t stay here, or they are going to surround us!” Shreev said.
“Which way!?”
“Who cares, they should all lead us to the higher levels!”
They were going to be sliced into pieces by the wind blades if they held their positions. Heidi suddenly appeared close to a troop of Underworld Warriors with Meos’ help. She quickly cast a Chaotic Vortex. It absorbed the evil energy and used it against the wind blades.
“Reverse!”
Heidi spun the vortex in the opposite direction. It began to move counter-clockwise. After some time, the Chaotic Vortex turned the wind blades into even longer wind blades!
The wind blades sliced back at the Underworld Warriors. The Underworld Warriors only had skeletal frames. They collapsed to the ground when the bones supporting them were cloven.
“This way!” Mo Fan quickly Channeled the Star Constellation of the Summoning Element when he saw Heidi had managed to clear a path.
“Summoning Gate: Beast Tide!”
More than a hundred wolves poured out of the Summoning Gate. They sprang forward like a ferocious tide, trampling on the Underworld Warriors.
“Keep going! More are coming from behind!” Mu Bai blurted out.
The Beast Tide continued to clear the path ahead. The wolves were unstoppable, and even the Underworld Warriors had no chance of stopping them, despite their numbers. Bones went flying across the place. Their wind blades could not hit anyone since the Underworld Warriors were unable to focus on their enemy.
“Frosty Howl!”
Ice crystals drifted around Mu Bai and gradually formed a frosty tornado. It spread further away at Mu Bai’s command and swallowed the Underworld Warriors that were approaching them, immediately dealing with the threats nearby.
“Leave this side to me!” Meos exclaimed.
The Undead Magic flickered under her feet. A bulky blood-red mummy rose up on one side of the group.
The blood-red mummy was covered in bloody armor, surprisingly bearing some similarities to the Underworld Warriors who were attacking them, even carrying an enormous battle axe with a strong presence of death. The Blood-Armored Mummy let out a ferocious cry and gathered the evil energy nearby to its axe!

The axe swung past fiercely while emitting a deadly glow. It swept forward in a crescent around the height of the Underworld Warrior’s necks. A few dozen heads flew into the air; some even collided with one another before falling to the ground like coconuts.
Meos was not the only one who could Summon powerful undead. Shreev and Sayed immediately Summoned their undead, too. Shreev Summoned a creature with a pair of antennae. The creature resembled a centipede, and actually fed on the undead. It opened its mouth and swallowed the Underworld Warriors like it was drinking water. It doubled in size after only a few moments!
Sayed summoned his Death Saber Mummy as usual, but his Death Saber Mummy also had a bloody glow. It was most likely on par with the mummy that Meos had Summoned. Its death saber was as deadly as the other’s axe. The Underworld Warriors struggled to come any closer with the two great fighters guarding both sides of the team!
As a matter of fact, their mummies had actually evolved from the Underworld Warriors. Once these Underworld Warriors reached the Commander-level, they would turn into mummies with a greater lifespan and more power. As such, the Evil Axe Mummy and the Death Saber Mummy were quite familiar with how to deal with the Underworld Warriors!
“Keep it up, into the door!” Mo Fan ordered his wolves.
The Underworld Warriors had appeared from a passage around ten meters tall and wide. Shreev believed that the passage would lead them to the higher levels of the Pyramid, so they just needed to head in the direction the Underworld Warriors were coming from.
An Enormous White Wolf was the first to reach the entrance of the passage. It was too big for the passage, so it simply sat there to stop more Underworld Warriors from coming out of it.
The Underworld Warriors had terrifying numbers. Only four troops of them had shown up in the pool chamber at the beginning. They were merely patrols, but the rest of them came pouring into the chamber like a black tide in no time. The time it took for them to show up and their numbers were shocking.
The Enormous White Wolf’s strategy was very effective. It actually stopped more than a hundred Underworld Warriors from coming out of the passage before the group arrived. However, Mo Fan felt uneasy when he realized that they would have to fight their way through the passage.
“Is there another way up? I feel like we are swimming against the current!” Zhao Manyan asked.
“There’s no other way. The lower levels of the Pyramid have countless numbers of these creatures. Otherwise, why would it be called a kingdom? The passage shouldn’t be too long. Fighting our way through is better than being flanked from all directions inside the chamber. The Underworld Warriors could fill up the whole chamber with their numbers!” Shreev said.
“Big wolf, move aside!” Mo Fan told the Enormous White Wolf that was blocking the passage.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was the Commander of the wolves; Mo Fan normally referred to it as Old Wolf. The biggest one among the forty-three Enormous White Wolves was the one closest to the Commander-level. Mo Fan normally called him the Big Wolf; he would then call the second-largest wolf Second Wolf, the third-largest wolf Third Wolf, and so on…
The first three Enormous White Wolves had the potential of reaching the Commander-level, but since they were not Mo Fan’s Contract Beasts or Summoned Beasts, he could not help them evolve like he was helping the Flying Creek Snow Wolf. They could only evolve by fighting continuously in the Summoned Beast Plane!
Big Wolf had a wild temper, yet he was extremely obedient when taking orders from Mo Fan. He quickly rolled aside and revealed the passage when he saw Mo Fan’s right hand engulfed in fire.
The passage was full of Underworld Warriors, and the sheen of their dark armor. They looked like cockroaches bundled up together, dense enough to give someone goosebumps!
“Fiery Fist!”
Three Soul-grade Flames erupted simultaneously as the punch was thrown. Fiery dragons of three different colors sprang forward and combined into a fiercer dragon along the way. It dove right into the pitch-black passage with a deafening roar…
The undead were scared of fire, while the three different Soul-grade Flames strengthened Mo Fan’s Fire Element multiple times. The Underworld Warriors could not endure the destructive heat. Even their thick armor was instantly burned into ashes!
The fiery dragon surged through the tunnel and cleared a long path. Soul Remnants in the form of fireflies flew into Mo Fan’s Pendant like beams of light!
The Underworld Warriors in the Pyramids were a lot stronger than the ones outside. It also meant their Soul Remnants were more valuable! The Warrior-level Soul Remnants entered the Nether River inside the Little Loach Pendant and were rapidly refined into Warrior-level Soul Essences to increase the capacity of Mo Fan’s Beast Tide!
“Three Soul Essences already!” Mo Fan was overjoyed.
The Soul Remnants Mo Fan had gathered from killing the Underworld Warriors were refined into two Soul Essences. He had also acquired a complete Soul Essence, meaning that he had already earned three Soul Essences!
“I’ll clear a path!” Mo Fan immediately found himself motivated.
The Pyramid had been sealed for a long time, so the souls of these undead possessed abundant energy. There was no better place for Mo Fan to collect Soul Essences!
