"I've already told them that we were inside for many days, and after helping them find the treasure, they were no longer angry when I handed it over."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan finally understood what had happened. It turned out that time inside the pyramid was different from time outside, which was why they misunderstood Jiang Fan, thinking he hadn't gone in to find the treasure.
"So that's how it is. The situation within the pyramid is truly mysterious. It's best if we avoid entering such places. It's simply too strange."
As one of humanity's unsolved mysteries, pyramids have always been shrouded in legends, making it difficult to discern truth from fiction.
Now, such a bizarre scene had unfolded. Although they had considered many possibilities within the pyramid, they were still unable to explain its profound mysteries.
What made it even more incredible was that the Yanhuang Emperors had also been here and experienced equally inexplicable events.
Otherwise, why would those soldiers have been turned into clay statues by the volcanic eruption inside, making Jiang Fan and his companions mistake them for Terracotta Warriors?
As Jiang Fan was lost in thought, a dinosaur walked towards him and his group.
Jiang Fan immediately drew his fire axe, thinking the dinosaurs were about to attack. However, the dinosaur slowly shook its head, then lowered its head to the ground, gesturing for Jiang Fan and the others to climb onto their backs.
After glancing at his companions, Jiang Fan mounted the head of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Seeing Jiang Fan on the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the others followed suit, each climbing onto the back of a different dinosaur.
"Where are they taking us, Jiang Fan?"
Zhou Niannian, sitting on the back of a sauropod, had to shout to converse with Jiang Fan due to the immense height.
Jiang Fan shook his head helplessly, admitting he had no idea where they were being taken.
The dinosaurs offered no explanation, and Dai Xiaomei had lost her ability to understand dinosaur language, rendering communication impossible.
After traveling for quite some time, they realized they were no longer in the desert. It seemed the dinosaurs had led them out.
"We're out."
Jiang Fan exclaimed, and his companions cheered.
After letting Jiang Fan's group dismount, the dinosaurs simply nodded and returned to the desert.
As the sky was not yet dark, Jiang Fan and his companions had finally emerged from the desert.
"I didn't expect it to be so late. Our tents should still be here."
Jiang Fan said, then walked in the opposite direction. Soon, they found the tents they had set up earlier.
"Let's rest for today. We're exhausted. Fighting or fleeing from those monsters inside the pyramid for days has drained our energy. We need to recover."
The others wholeheartedly agreed, as they were all utterly fatigued.
If they had to continue inside the pyramid, they might have been exhausted to death.
At that moment, a light suddenly flashed in the sky.
Four moons appeared overhead.
"Look, there are four moons!"
Zhou Niannian was the first to spot the four moons and shouted to Jiang Fan, pointing at the sky.
Jiang Fan looked up and saw four moons. Previously, one of them had been faint, but now, the fourth moon had become exceptionally bright.
Undoubtedly, this signified their successful entry into the fourth stage.
"Have we entered the fourth stage? Look, the moons have become four bright ones. One was dim before, and now it has appeared."
Jiang Fan nodded slowly. While he wasn't sure if "stage" was the right word for these moons, the current situation seemed to align with Zhou Niannian's observation.
"Yes, we have entered the fourth stage."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Niannian's face showed renewed confusion.
"But we've entered the fourth stage, so how many stages are there in total? Could it be an infinite stage system?"
Jiang Fan felt helpless.
He knew this place couldn't possibly have infinite stages, but he had no idea how many there were.
"I don't know. Let's not worry about that for now. Let's rest."
"We are already exhausted. Tomorrow, we will challenge the next place."
Everyone nodded in agreement. They were all incredibly tired and wanted to rest. Who knew what dangers awaited them tomorrow.
The next day, Jiang Fan suddenly felt an intense heat outside the tent, as if something was roasting them.
"What's going on? Why is it so red outside?"
When Jiang Fan opened the tent and looked out, he was stunned. He couldn't believe the absurd scene before him.
Although they had successfully left the desert, they had been brought back to the volcano by the dinosaurs.
"Damn it, why are we back in the volcano?"
Yesterday, Jiang Fan had felt a sense of familiarity with the surroundings. However, the fires hadn't been burning then, and the mountains had been dark.
He didn't know why, but looking at the current situation, it was clear they had entered the volcano they had previously experienced.
Thinking of the death flies from before, Jiang Fan couldn't help but shiver. Those things were truly terrifying.
If they encountered them again, it might not be easy to escape, especially since even the dinosaurs feared them.
"Wake up quickly, something's wrong!"
Hearing Jiang Fan's words, the other companions jolted awake and looked around in disbelief.
"What happened? Why are we suddenly back in the volcano?"
