When Peter and the others evacuated from the pyramid, Fina heard their conversation. It knew that they planned to wait for the smoke to settle, then regroup outside and make sufficient preparations before entering.
This time, they had relied on Meredith Segar's hideous stone statue and the right time and place to repel them. Next time, it would not be so easy. It was likely to be a bloody battle.
Therefore, Fina planned to take advantage of the respite in the middle to go to the tomb of the king. No matter what happened next, at least there would be no regrets.
As the figures of Peter Lee and the others disappeared from the cave, it turned and ran into the thicker darkness, rushing up the slope. This road connected to the large corridor, which was the only way to the Tomb of the King.
It had to go and return quickly. Even if Peter and the others came back in a short time, it hoped that Old Time Tea could delay some time at the entrance of the cave.
It was a pity and funny thing. Peter and the others had made thorough preparations for entering the desert this time, but they did not expect that the underground of the Devil's Sea was a hollowed out mine.
When Fina felt the earth tremble violently, and even the pyramid was shaking, it guessed that the bloody battle that it had expected would probably not come.
It slowed down. In this case, there was no need to rush.
Unlike the large corridor of the Great Pyramid, there was nothing special about it. On both sides of this large corridor, there were also pairs of stone statues of animal gods, looking at each other solemnly.
On the ceiling, which was more than ten meters high, there were complex carvings of stars. The stars may have been inlaid with gems, and the stars were connected by golden lines, shining.
Countless gold and jewelry were piled up between the stone statues. Whether it was quantity or quality, it was higher than in the tomb of the queen. Even if it was covered in dust after two thousand years, it could not completely cover up their brilliance.
Fina was also surprised that it could see so clearly. It had been prepared to move forward in the dark, but in the large corridor, there was a glowing light stick thrown every few meters. Yellow, green, red, blue, and pink were colorful. The originally dull and depressing tomb was decorated like a shop window on Christmas Eve. It really made it … not know whether to laugh or cry.
There were light sticks on the ground, but there were no obvious footprints. Even Old Time Tea could not do this, which proved that the light stick had been thrown from the air.
Rumble!
A loud noise came from outside the tower, and then the tower shook violently. Dust fell from the top of the tower, and the stone statues in the corridor slid a little from their original positions.
Fina instinctively adjusted its center of gravity and dodged a stone statue that was sliding towards it. However, it was too lazy to shake off the dust that fell on its head. Anyway, its body was covered in dust.
A pyramid that weighed several million tons would find it difficult to maintain its stability after the first shake. That was because the base of the pyramid had begun to tilt. The tilt meant that one side of the foundation must have been subjected to several times the pressure.
Under the tower was not soil, but rocks and mineral veins that looked solid but were actually fragile. Their ability to withstand pressure was not as good as the soil. Under heavy pressure, the soil would only be pressed tighter and would not break.
Would she come back to life? Will he appear in front of me alive? Just as the oracle had foretold.
Fina knew that this kind of thing might not even have a one in ten thousand chance, but since the oracle had given it hope, it had to see it with its own eyes.
After all …
Its gaze swept across the colorful glow sticks one by one.
After all, there was a bird that had died once and was resurrected next to it.
However … the situation of the pyramid was not good. If she really came back to life, wouldn't she die again soon?
Its mind was full of questions about her life and death, and it was about to explode. However, at this time, it suddenly thought of Zhang Zian. That stupid mortal wouldn't be stupid enough to come in and find it, right?
Fina dared to take the risk and go deeper because it knew that it was a cat. Even if the hole created by the explosion sunk into the ground first, it was quite sure that it could escape from the ventilation duct on the south wall.
That stupid mortal didn't have this ability. He shouldn't be so stupid as to come in without knowing what was going on.
However, when he was stupid, he was really amazing and hopeless, so it was not necessarily accurate …
Its mind was in a mess. Otherwise, with its usual vigilance and sensitivity, it would have definitely noticed that Xinghai was following a little behind it.
Xinghai didn't get close. It kept a distance of half of the passage, hiding between the stone statues that had been displaced due to the vibration. Its black and white fur was a good camouflage. Its eyes looked past Fina, towards the far and dark end of the big corridor, and its eyes were full of expectation.
While Fina was making random guesses, Xinghai already knew what was going to happen. It was an event that was different from any of Fina's guesses, even the craziest ones.
History would not record that moment. Many, many years later, people would know that it might be one of the most important points in the long river of history.
Xinghai seemed to have heard something and turned its head. Its silver-gray eyes stared at the stone wall of red granite boulders. Although the gap between the boulders was so narrow that not even a needle could be inserted, its sight had already gone straight through the boulders and the darkness. It saw Zhang Zian and Famous stumbling towards the pyramid.
The timing seemed to be just right.
Fina's mind was running wild, and its feet didn't stop at all. Soon, it came to the end of the big corridor. There was a small stone door in front of it, and inside was the tomb of the king.
The stone door — let's call it a stone door for now. In fact, it was just an opening in the stone wall. In order to drag the pharaoh's coffin into the tomb, it was very low. Normal adults had to lower their heads or even bend over to get through.
It looked up at the top of the stone door, where three lines of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs were engraved.
"Death is just a door to a new life."
"We are alive today, and we will be reborn."
"We will return in many forms," Fina murmured these three sentences.
Fina murmured these three sentences, which were also the prayer of the ancient Egyptian resurrection ceremony. It was full of human resistance to death and longing for eternal life.
The person who engraved these three lines of prayer might not really believe that the pharaoh would be resurrected, because in the thousands of years of ancient Egyptian history, no great pharaoh had ever walked out of the pyramids alive.
Fina sighed and dragged its heavy and tired steps into the tomb of the king, ready to face the cruel truth.
It had to go in and take a look. Otherwise, it would be driven crazy by its chaotic thoughts.
Not long after Fina entered the tomb, Xinghai also walked to the side of the stone door, but it didn't follow it into the tomb. Instead, it squatted next to the stone door and waited quietly.
It was waiting for someone. This was why it would rather endure the narrow and dark air passage and enter the pyramid.
Just as Fina had someone it wanted to see, it also had someone it wanted to see.
And that person would appear here in a moment.
