Chapter 1606: Mission Accomplished

1606 Mission Accomplished Translated by XephiZ

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.

The undead had broken through a few safe zones, indicating that a huge part of the Cairo Fortress had been overrun. Cairo City would be in grave danger if Cairo Fortress, which served as Cairo’s defense line, collapsed.

Cairo City was just ahead. Just as the group was about to go inside, Mo Fan sensed an unusual presence nearby.

He turned around immediately. It felt like something was watching him.

He took a few more steps before turning around again. He suddenly saw a woman with a pale face and red lips sticking her face close to his. He almost burst out screaming.

“Hey kid, it’s me!” the woman giggled. She had appeared out of nowhere like a ghost in the daytime.

“My Queen, can you not scare me like that next time?” Mo Fan let out a sigh.

“Well done! The Gate of the Underworld is now open. I’ve notified the king, too. Oh yeah, it feels great knowing we can soon go to war. I hope the Underworld won’t turn out to be a disappointment…” the Queen of the Netherworld said.

“It looks like my job is done here. Don’t you disturb the living again. Everyone is just trying to survive here. It’s pretty tough!” Mo Fan said.

“What are you talking about? Since when did we go and disturb the living? It’s because some greedy people were trying to take our tombs and steal our possessions!” the Queen of the Netherworld argued right back.

“How old are you? Do you really have to be so fussy with us young ones? Not every undead has a brain like you. They simply attack anyone they stumble into…” Mo Fan replied.

“Give me a break! Mo Fan, I must tell you that the number of undead are a lot greater than you can imagine, and not every undead takes orders from us. Your people better watch out for the wild undead that wander and roam aimlessly. I don’t want you to come before the King and accuse us next time. Do you seriously think he’s a peace envoy now!?” the Queen of the Netherworld shot back.

“You’ve learned pretty quickly. You even know the term peace envoy now!” Mo Fan was left speechless.

“Undead will always be undead. Their instincts are to kill and hunt for blood, making them a natural foe of the living. We are only invading the Underworld to teach Khufu a lesson. It’s ignorant if you think the undead will just stop attacking the human cities in the future,” the Queen of the Netherworld sniffed.

“I’m no peace envoy either, but our country is in a pinch right now due to the rising sea level. The sea monsters have suddenly become our greatest threat, so it would be best if your kingdom of undead can lay low for a few years… we all want to live a better life. If humans became extinct, the undead are going to struggle too,” Mo Fan said.

“What kind of nonsense is that? Don’t forget that it was my idea to invade the Underworld. You should be thanking me instead!” the Queen of the Netherworld scoffed.

“Right, you’re the most beautiful and most intelligent female ghost that I’ve met. I will surely burn some of the latest trendy makeup and fashionable attire for you during the Qingming Festival, so you can shine brightly among the female ghosts!” Mo Fan said.

“Why don’t you bring them to me in person? I prefer that you stay with me, I’m pretty lonely down there…” the Queen of the Netherworld giggled.

“Please don’t prey on me considering how hard I’ve worked to fulfill my duty. Why don’t you consider my brother Zhao Manyan? He’s the typical kind that many women find attractive…”

“That’s enough bullshitting with you. Let me have a nap in your Contracted Space. I’m so tired from all the business I have had to take care of lately.” The Queen of the Netherworld stretched out, showing off her alluring figure, especially visible since her thin clothes were tightly wrapped around her body.

“Seriously? Can you really go inside my Contracted Space when you’re not my Contracted Beast?” Mo Fan said.

“Just open it. There’s something I need to keep an eye on still, so it’s better for me to stick with you for the time being,” the Queen of the Netherworld confirmed.

“Oh, alright,” Mo Fan was quite curious how the Queen of the Netherworld was going to enter his Contracted Space.

Mo Fan opened the Contracted Space. It had always been Little Flame Belle’s nest. The little creature was quite friendly to the Queen of the Netherworld. She slowly moved aside to clear up some space for her.
