Don't Go Too Far, I'm Worried You'll Be Scared Alone

"The Luck E of the Lancer is pure superstition and has no scientific basis whatsoever... Hey, I'm talking to you, can't you show some respect?"

Kang Xi followed Russell around, chattering incessantly. The girl herself wasn't particularly talkative, but since her luck was being questioned, she had to explain herself.

"Six people plus fifteen dogs, and you were the only one who ran into me when you were all alone. You still say you're not lucky?" Russell shook his head, imagining the scene that followed. Only the word "mutual sabotage" could describe it.

"This is the first time I've heard this description. You'd rather make fun of yourself than let my luck stat suffer. Just how much do you dislike spearmen?"

"Self-deprecation... maybe!" Russell shook his head inwardly. The girl was too young and easily developed feelings for strangers, which made her vulnerable to being taken advantage of. But it didn't matter; with his guidance, she would quickly grow up.

Not Russell brag, but everyone who's used it says it's a rip-off, and it hasn't received any positive reviews to date!

The pyramid's internal structure is complex. The two of them had no idea where they had been teleported to. The passageways were like a maze, winding and turning, and they hadn't found their way out even after walking for half an hour.

"We're lost!" Russell looked at the markings on the wall; they had been to this corner before.

"Could it be a hallucination?" Kang Xi asked, frowning. The thing he feared most had happened.

"It's not an illusion. The architectural lines must be deceiving our eyes, making us think we're walking in a straight line when we're actually going in circles," Russell replied decisively. The two walked a long way through a maze of turns, and every hundred meters on the wall, a sculpture would appear precisely, each one exactly the same.

"So what should we do now?"

"This is where you'll be in trouble," Russell said, casually pulling a long strand of hair from Kang Xi's ponytail and letting it fall vertically between two fingers.

Kang Xi rubbed the back of her head and looked at Russell reproachfully. "Next time, give me a heads-up. It hurts a lot if it comes on suddenly!"

"There won't be a next time; this trick won't work."

The interior of the pyramid is a sealed space, with tightly fitted gaps in the stone walls, making it impossible to sense any airflow. Russell tucked the strand of hair back into Kang Xi's hand, walked forward a hundred meters, and suddenly stopped at a corner.

"What's wrong? Did you find something?" Kang Xi asked hurriedly.

Russell narrowed his blue eyes, which were shrouded in black mist, and said in a deep voice, "You wait here, I'm going to pee."

Kang Xi: "..."

Russell took a couple of steps, then, seeing Kang Xi following closely behind, emphasized in a deep voice, "I need to pee, didn't you hear me?"

Kang Xi rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Please, the Mirror Dimension might reappear at any time. It's better not to separate in this godforsaken place."

Russell nodded in agreement, agreeing with what Kang Xi said, and then added, "I suddenly don't want to pee anymore, I need to poop!"

Kang Xi: "..."

Russell took two more steps forward, but Kang Xi followed anyway. He gave up. "Hey girl, can you give me some privacy?"

"I also want to give you your private space, but the conditions don't allow it!"

"..."

"I'm a girl and I don't mind, so why are you being so dramatic? I'll just plug my ears, is that alright?"

"It still doesn't work. There's someone standing behind me, so I can't shush."

"So much trouble!" Kang Xi pouted, stopped where she was, crossed her arms and turned her back to him. "Let's make this clear first, don't go too far, I'm worried you'll be scared by yourself!"

"Girls these days are really tough, you have to admit it."

Russell sighed, then darted around the corner, peered out to confirm that Kang Xi hadn't followed, and then took the body out of his Space Ring, silently chanting a spell to summon Jason.

Jason: (._.)

"Find the exit of the maze. Be careful, the space here is very strange, don't get trapped," Russell said succinctly. He and Jason were old partners, and their cooperation was excellent, so there was no need for them to say much more.

Jason nodded, walked around the corner, and disappeared. Russell breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Kang Xi peeking out and staring at him intently.

"Were you spying on me?" The atmosphere became a little awkward, and Russell decided to strike first.

"How could that be! You were taking too long to pee, I was a little worried." Kang Xi walked over with an embarrassed smile, glancing at the corner of the wall out of the corner of her eye, and asked in confusion, "Weren't you peeing? Why is the wall dry?"

When his plan was exposed, Russell calmly responded, "Mirror Dimension just happened to appear in front of us, so we snorted it all in."

Kang Xi: "..."

"Let's go. I suddenly had an idea while I was peeing and figured out how to get out of this maze." Ignoring Kang Xi's suspicious look, Russell followed the contractual connection and headed in the direction Jason had left.

The passageways were interconnected, and every brick joint on the wall was perfectly aligned to the correct size. Kang Xi thought he was probably lost again, but after turning a corner, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

This is a stone chamber about 100 meters high, with stone pillars arranged on both sides of the wall, one at regular intervals, extending all the way to the other end of the chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber stands a damaged stone statue, its upper part missing, leaving only a bare base.

Above the rooftop, eerie black clouds churned, thunder roared, and lightning bolts flashed. This was a cursed stone chamber. Russell and Kang Xi wore solemn expressions, and an extremely vast and sinister aura lurked within the black clouds.

Splash—

Black Cloud opened its single eye and unleashed a torrent of Scarab Beetle like a torrential downpour. Unlike those encountered before, these Scarab Beetle had red markings on their bodies and looked more aggressive.

"Step back and leave this to me."

Kang Xi's eyes flashed, his spear held horizontally above his head, wielding it with impenetrable force. A red whirlwind raged, carrying sharp, materialized energy that tore through the air, leaving deep, crisscrossing cuts on the walls and ground.

In an instant, the surrounding Scarab Beetle were crushed by the force of the energy, turning into fragments that scattered and flew everywhere.

But the dead Scarab Beetle were only a part of it; countless other Scarab Beetle around them greedily craved the flesh and blood of the two. They gathered together, twisted and rolled, and transformed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, pressing down on the shadow of the gun.

Boom!!!

The black and red colors clashed, and both of them paused Scarab Beetle swarmed forward, and the enormous hand that blotted out the sky grew several times larger, forcing Kang Xi to take two steps back.

Do you need help?

"No need, this is the time I've been waiting for."

Kang Xi sneered, gripped the spear tightly with one hand, drew out a red light blade, and drew runes in the air with the other hand.

Clusters of sparks landed, radiating terrifyingly high temperatures; the Scarab Beetle on the ground were instantly incinerated the moment they got too close.

At the same time, Kang Xi once again swung his spear, creating a blur of light and shadow. A hurricane rose up, spinning rapidly, with flames merging into it, transforming into a red vortex with astonishing heat.

The fire was fueled by the wind, and the wind fueled the fire; together, they created a massive fire tornado within the stone chamber.

The vortex of flames emitted a powerful suction, frantically devouring everything around it. The giant hand formed by the Scarab Beetle disintegrated due to the strong suction, and it was helplessly pulled into the flames. As soon as it got close, it was torn to pieces by the terrifying force, and then its body was ignited, turning into ashes in the raging flames.

Having annihilated all the Scarab Beetle, Kang Xi's eyes, sharp as knives, swept across the dark clouds overhead, his spear pointing straight upwards at will. A massive fire tornado roared up from the ground, crashing headlong into the dark clouds.

There was no deafening explosion; the dark clouds dissipated in an instant, and the light in the stone chamber dimmed.

"Hehe, I just came in and ran into someone I know. I'm in luck!"

The voice was a bit irritating. Russell looked over and saw two people, one burly and one thin, walking out of the passageway.
