Incinerating the bones in a single passage often took more than twenty or thirty minutes.

They would clear away the ashes left behind after incinerating this passage when they were ready to return.
The two Fallen Corruptors he had killed earlier had also yielded another batch of [Shadow Orbs], which counted as an extra gain.
This was already the second-to-last side passage on the left branch. Only the final side passage remained, and that would be the end of the left side. Zong Shen guessed there would likely be extensive collapses and blockages there, but this was ultimately only one part of the Azshara Sewers underground fortress ruins.
