The group quickly walked through the pyramid, exploring all corners of the interior, which were mostly long passageways and sharp turns. After a few minutes, they still did not come across anything significant except for more of the unhatched eggs and the greenish goo sticky fluids. For all they knew, they could even be walking around in circles! "Alright. This is enough." Liam finally stopped. Without any warning, he once again pulled out the black dragon sword and started slashing it randomly around him. Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! The fiery cuts of the black dragon sword flew around, wreaking havoc in the enclosed space that was barely enough for two people to pass through at a time. Just like the barrier, the metallic interior also couldn't hold up against the attacks from the black dragon sword. Pieces of metallic slabs rained down from all sides, clanging as they hit the ground. "Liam… Are you sure?" Alex hesitantly mumbled. The walls around them were literally coming down. Not knowing anything about the inner structure of this pyramid, she was worried that the whole damn thing was simply going to come down and collapse on them. Just in case, everyone inched closer to the fox, who was the only one who had the ability to fly amongst them. Luna, on the other hand, did not care about that. The little fox ran around here and there happily and quickly gathered all the metal pieces with a grin. She then meticulously piled up everything next to Liam, licking her lips. These two! Like master, like pet! Not only was Liam behaving like a looter, but the little one also had the same intentions. While the others trembled nervously, the duo continued acting together and pulling apart everything around them, breaking down the walls left and right. Soon the narrow passageway was no longer there. In fact, everything around them seemed to be taken down, with them currently standing on a very small platform supported by something somewhat stable. The thing even gently swayed. However, the most important part was the huge gaping hole in front of them. Unlike the small, maze-like exterior chambers of the pyramidal structure that were nothing more than corridors, the inner core was one big hollow room. It seemed to occupy almost 50% or perhaps more of the entire pyramid's volume. Hmmmm… Liam immediately jumped down onto the floor or the base of this big chamber. Luna followed him close by, but the others couldn't jump that height so casually. They looked around and saw various golden threads connecting the edges of the base with the different hive exits. In the corridor, or at least what was left of the corridor they were standing on, there were a couple of these threads as well. They jumped around a little and grabbed onto one of the threads, and slid their way to the bottom of the base. Alex went down first, and others followed her example. They would need to be daredevils to try something like this before, but now with their improved stats and abilities, it was not quite scary. Meanwhile, at the bottom of the inner chamber, or what appeared to be the core part of the pyramid, Liam and Luna were already walking around, taking a look at the scene around them. Once again, this area was also made of the same metal with the golden luster, Orichalcum. Surprisingly, there was nothing else noteworthy. Liam's gaze then fell upon a few eggs piled on the side. When he observed closely, these eggs were slightly bigger than the eggs he had seen before. Their shells also seemed to be shinier. He picked up one of these eggs as well and stored it for analysis purposes. As an after thought, he picked up a few more and stored it into his spatial artifact as well. He looked around for a couple more minutes and did not really find anything else other than eggs and more eggs. "So I guess everything that hatched came out, and these are just the leftovers." There did not seem to be much else to this hive hill. "Ok. It's time to harvest the metal and then get the hell out of here." He signaled to Luna and the rest of the group as well, who were just now looking around. Liam took a deep breath and summoned his army of soul minions, or rather the stronger half of them, leaving the other half to still work outside on the field where they were gathering mana cores and valuable parts from the isons. "Go and break everything in this pyramid. Collect all the metal slabs and call me if there is something alive." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢 He also left Luna behind to supervise the task force in case there was still a stronger enemy hiding somewhere in this messy place. He then, along with the others, walked out through one of the exits of the hive hill. "I am going to the magic shop now. What are you guys planning to do?" Liam summoned his undead condor as his replacement ride. He spoke as he walked over to collect all the glittering mana cores piled up nearby by his hard-working soul minions. "You guys want to tag along?" He turned to look at Alex and the others, but surprisingly everyone shook their heads. Even Shen Yue and Mei Mei did not want to come? Liam smiled. "Are you planning on taking some rest?" He teased them, knowing full well what they probably planned to do. However, no one seemed to be in the mood to joke. Alex shook her head again and gave a serious reply. "We will be training in the dungeon." "Ok. Good luck." Liam understood their thoughts very well and did not ask anything further. "Then we will all meet in about 5 to 6 hours?" Everyone agreed and went their separate ways. Liam hopped onto the undead condor that was not nearly as comfortable to ride as the soft and fluffy white fox and soon arrived at the magic shop. *** Mass Release Chapter 2~ Please thank Exzistential for sponsoring this mass release!
