That Ball of Fire

On the lightless pyramid, Li Luo looked at her hands, recalling everything that had just happened. She turned to the statue at the temple entrance and carefully compared it to the phantom she had seen through the Night Vision Device.

Other than its indistinct head, every other part looked exactly the same. This had to be the creature depicted in the murals.

Li Luo reached out and touched the lifelike statue. Its icy texture made her shudder at once.

She suddenly looked up into the distance.

Pyramids stood one after another in the darkness, like enormous beasts lying in wait.

"Keep going."

Without hesitation, she took Cube and charged downward.

"As long as we keep moving forward, we'll reach the time when this pyramid was built. Since we can come into contact with those creatures, we'll definitely find the people who built the pyramids."

Then, everything could be cleared up...

Li Luo began walking along the timeline once more.

This time, she did not fall into that strange accelerated state again. Every so often, she turned to check whether Cube was falling behind.

These overlapping patterns locked the most extreme heat
