1709. Trap

'We are finally back,' Noah thought as he inspected his surroundings.

The cultivators who had never seen that environment took their time to study it. They had only heard about the Space Hounds from Noah and the others, but they didn't dare to rely only on their words in that situation.

The tension that had filled the army slightly dispersed. They were theoretically safe from the rank 9 existences on the outside in there. Still, they also felt partially trapped since they didn't know what Heaven and Earth had in store for them.

"Let's dive deeper into the tunnel before choosing where to rest," Noah ordered, and the rest of the army followed him.

Diving wasn't the exact word in that environment. Noah's group had descended through the tunnel during the first part of the mission, but they had to climb it now. Yet, the territory remained familiar, so they advanced smoothly.
