Eternal Thief Chapter 603 Way Toward Surface

In the dark passage, which was 3 ters in diater, Ace moved like lightning as his speed was even faster than a peak soul realm cultivator.

However, Ace felt amiss as he moved farther away from the hidden teleportation room. But even after he used the fate map, he couldn't find any enemy.

There was just a red passage in front and back, not fate points.

However, when half a day passed, and he still didn't find any kind of blockade ahead or end of the passage, even cross paths, he started to feel anxious. No matter how much he looked, the passage looked the sa.

It was like an endless tunnel.

At this mont, Moira's hesitant voice rang in Ace's mind, "Um… Sir. Ace, I think sothing is not right."

Ace was stopped in his tracks with a grim look on his face, "Do you find sothing?"

He knew Moira would remain silent until she had sothing important to report and her warnings were as accurate as the system.

Moira softy said, "You know I can't see through high-level formations, right?"

Ace squinted his eyes as he also thought of sothing, "Don't tell we are in the middle of so Grade-7 formation?"

"I'm afraid we are, or at least we are not on normal terrains. It is either a natural formation or manmade. But we are not in normal terrain." Moira stated her worries.

Ace frowned, "Do you think this formation is active right now?"

He couldn't be sighed bitterly since it would be too difficult to escape an active formation that even Moira couldn't see through.

But it was still unclear if Moira's conjecture was true or not since if this were really a grade-7 formation and active at that, then he would be able to sense it. But he only had this uneasy feeling.

"No, I don't think so. But this path is quite strange. How about you try taking another path? If this is really an inactive formation, then going into another direction which is not part of this formation could help us break the formation's lingering effect if we managed to escape its range." Moira suggested.

Ace's expression fell, "So, are you suggesting I should dig my way out of here?"

Moira thoughtfully stated, "At least it would be better than wasting ti, and since we are underground, then going upward would eventually let us reach the surface. Or if you sohow enter the active part of this formation, then it would be a disaster!"

Ace fell into contemplating silence since Moira had a point. Since he was still in an inactive part of the formation then, he should try to avoid the active part, especially a formation in so hidden space.

So, Ace decided to comply with Moira's suggestion and try tunneling his way from the right wall toward up.

However, digging a tunnel toward the surface was not just anyone could do, especially Ace, who had never fallen into such a situation before. But this didn't an he didn't know how to dig.

He used his Qi swords to open a path and store the debris in an empty storage ring.

Although it was Qi and ti-consuming as he dug his path upward, that strange feeling started to fade, and he knew Moira was right.

​ That teleportation room was probably hidden by soone within a powerful formation, so they would remain trapped there even if soone managed to co here.

But then the formation stopped working close to the area of the hidden room.

This could only an either the formation was completely destroyed by sothing, or it has been too long; the formation had stopped functioning properly.

Whichever the case might be, Ace didn't want to find out because whoever had made the dinsion teleportation formation would be a scary existence, so it won't leave its safety to a low-level formation.

After digging for a whole week, Ace was finally exhausted and could no longer see the red passage beneath him. So, he was quite deep into his self-made tunnel toward he surfaced.

But he still couldn't see the surface, and the Qi density here beca thinner as he moved toward the surface. But this wasn't a problem for Ace as he could simply turn resources into heavenly Qi, and he had more than enough.

After resting for a whole day, Ace started to tunnel his way toward the surface again, and just as a month passed.

Ace has almost beco an expert in digging with his sword intent, and it made his control over it more refined, so he didn't mind continuing digging.

It was a rare chance for him to use his sword intent so much, and he took it as sword training which he hadn't had in a long while.

Ace started to wonder just how deep underground that teleportation room was and just what kind of place he was in exactly.

However, today he entered an area with soft soil, and it was no longer solid stone anymore. This also ans he can no longer make the tunnel recklessly or might get buried in this long tunnel.

So, he carefully started digging in the soft soil and used the stones he had collected to stabilize the passage.

This decreased his speed and increased his energy concussion, but he knew he was close to the surface.

A week passed when Ace activated the fate map to see for any chance like every day, and his eyes brightened because a gray area had appeared just a mile above him!

He was almost sick of digging this tunnel and exhausted because he had to control his strength while digging and then storing the soil not to get blocked by it. Now he finally saw the end of this rathole!

But Ace didn't start digging instantly and started to recover his strength since he didn't know what kind of place he was in, and he needed to be on top of his ga!
