When one was used to the darkness, even a little bit of light was precious.
Richard lay on the ground on its back, staring blankly at the yellow glow stick rolling past in front of its eyes. Its heart was suddenly filled with the calm joy of a new life.
It secretly made up its mind that from now on, it would be a noble bird, a pure bird, a bird free from vulgar interests …
In a flash, a black shadow followed the glow stick and fell.
Xinghai's mouth loosened, and the bundle of glow sticks fell to the ground. "Meow! Xinghai is here!"
Old Time Tea and Fina's attention was completely attracted by the magnificent tomb chamber.
Unlike the almost empty tomb chamber of the Great Pyramid, this tomb chamber was filled with a large number of funerary objects. The gold-painted wooden cabinets were casually placed with bracelets, headdresses, necklaces, and other ornaments made of gold and gems, as if they were worthless children's toys. Pottery of all sizes and shapes were piled up, with almost no place to step on them. Gold products with the theme of animal gods were dazzling, exquisite, and luxurious, making the inferior imitations sold in the Khan el-Khalili market seem inferior.
However, these things were piled up in a mess, as if they had been brought in in a hurry, thrown into the tomb chamber, and then left.
Under the wall on one side, there were two small boats that were hollowed out with a whole cedar and painted with gold paint. There were no seams or holes in the hull. If they were taken out, they could be taken out to sail on the lake at any time. Of course, the lake that could be used for sailing had long since dried up.
There was some colored powder on the floor near the wall. Maybe there had been murals on the wall, but they had been weathered when the ventilation duct was opened. Only some mottled remnants were left, proving that there had once been gorgeous murals there.
Although the weathering of the murals was regrettable, if the ventilation duct had not been opened more than half a century earlier, they would have suffocated.
The most important thing was the sarcophagus in the center of the tomb chamber.
The sarcophagus was open, and the heavy coffin lid was leaning against one side.
Seeing this situation, Fina guessed that the sarcophagus was most likely empty.
Even so, there was still a 20% uncertainty factor.
It took a deep breath, jumped on the edge of the sarcophagus, and looked inside.
As expected, it was empty.
She had married three men in her life, and all three of them had died earlier than her. Who was in the sarcophagus? What's more, one of them was a brother she hated, and the way the other two were disposed of was out of her control. Leaving it empty was the best option.
It could not wait to go to the other chamber because it wanted to know if the oracle it had witnessed in front of the Siwa Oracle Temple was real.
If it was true, it would be able to see her alive.
If it was not true … then it must be because of Zhang Zian's jinx!
It wanted to go, but it was also afraid … It was just like the students who had just finished their college entrance exams. They wanted to check their scores, but they didn't dare to do so, because they were afraid to find out the cruel truth. If they didn't check, they would have beautiful fantasies.
However, it was the protector of the Eternal Divine Nation. How could it be defeated by fear? How could he avoid the truth out of fear?
Fei Na's eyes became firm, and he stepped toward the exit of the tomb.
"Meow, wait a minute!"
Xinghai trotted in front of it.
"What for?"
Fei Na was very unhappy. It had not been easy for it to strengthen its will, and it did not want to be shaken by other factors.
"It's too early. It's not time yet," Xinghai said seriously.
Fei Na was stunned. "What's too early?"
"Nothing. Those people are coming in from the north. Aren't you going to find a way to stop them?"
Xinghai did not answer directly.
Yes, Fei Na was reminded. It had only been thinking about the oracle, and it had forgotten about this more urgent matter — Peter Lee and the others could break the wall at any time. If they entered her tomb and carried out the ritual of absorbing the pure energy of the universe, it was tantamount to blasphemy!
Xinghai pulled out a light stick with its front paw and put it under its feet. "Meow, you need this."
Fei Na really needed it, because once it left the tomb, it would be dark again.
But how would it carry it with it?
Should it be held in its mouth or with its paw?
Either way, it was not suitable for the upcoming battle.
It glanced around the tomb. It would be great if it could find the Eye of Horus necklace that it used to wear, the one carved on the neck of the Holy Cat statue. But the gold ornaments in this tomb were all for people to wear, and the size did not match it.
Finally, its gaze fell on Richard.
Richard was no longer lying on the ground like a corpse. It curiously fiddled with all kinds of gold jewelry with its claws and lamented, "Quack! If that idiot Zhang Zian saw this, he might have a heart attack on the spot! "
Suddenly, it felt a chill on its back, as if it was being stared at by a fierce beast.
Richard turned around, trembling, and saw Fei Na close at hand. "Your … Your Majesty, are you … are you hungry?"
Its brain was probably stupid just now, and it actually asked what was on its mind. Wasn't it looking for death?
Sure enough, Fei Na stretched out a paw and picked it up, bringing it closer and closer to its mouth.
"Your … Your Majesty, I don't taste good at all! I have a lot of bones, and the meat is very dry. I can't chew through the bird's beak, and my feathers might stab your throat, and … and … I haven't poop today, and I'm dirty and smelly. It will definitely spoil your appetite … "Richard was scared out of its wits, thinking that it was going to die this time.
"Old Time Tea, we have a good relationship, right? Xinghai, I can also play hide-and-seek with you … Hurry up and help me, I don't want to become cat poop! Ahhhhhh! "It shouted desperately.
Fei Na coldly stared at it. "What nonsense are you talking about? Hold this light stick in your mouth, and then follow me. "
"Quack?"
Richard was stunned. "Don't you want to eat the small one?"
Fei Na impatiently stuffed the light stick into its mouth. "I told you to hold it in your mouth, so hold it in your mouth. Stop talking so much nonsense!"
"Quack, quack, quack!"
Richard had just survived, and it did not dare to let go of the light stick in its mouth. It desperately nodded and bowed, thanking Fei Na for not eating it.
Fei Na turned and walked towards the exit of the tomb, and Richard flapped its wings and followed closely.
Old Time Tea raised its nose and sniffed. "Hey, what's this strange smell?"
It quickly found the source of the smell — where Richard had been lying, there was a pile of yellow, green, and white bird poop. It was either scared to the point of incontinence, or it was squeezed out.
Old Time Tea was speechless. It didn't want to be associated with this dirty thing, so it said to Xinghai, "Xinghai, you go with me. We can take care of each other."
Xinghai nodded, picked up the bundle of light sticks from the ground, and left the tomb with Old Time Tea.
