Zhang Zian was initially quite worried. Could Fina bridge the gap of 21 by 21?

However, it seemed that the cat was indeed made of water. Her movable ribs allowed her to get into the narrow gaps. In fact, the passage was really not that narrow.

”Zhang Zian, I have nothing to do standing here. It'll be better if I head in as well. If anything is to happen, I can also assist,” Old Time Tea said.

Zhang Zian nodded. ”That makes sense. Please be careful.”

”Okay.” Old Time Tea smiled slightly and climbed down the iron ladder.

Compared with Fina's speed and aggressive nature, Old Time Tea was more relaxed. He still had some energy left over with every jump. The distance of each jump was also consistent, and he landed steadily on each step.

He only added force on his last leap. He did a somersault in the air before landing right in front of the hole.

Old Time Tea didn't rush in. Instead, he observed the width of the hole, listened for any sound inside, and slid his nose in slightly to smell.

Before, he had followed Zhang Zian into the Great Pyramid and vividly remembered the stale and dirty air inside it. He feared that the air in this pyramid was the same. However, perhaps because of the existence of this ”ventilation channel” that the German soldiers had opened more than half a century ago, the air inside would not be as bad as he thought.

Richard was still desperately calling out for help. The absolutely dark space inside proved to be extremely difficult to maneuver, even for cats and their strong night vision.

Old Time Tea could not hear Fina because Fina was not as loud as Richard. In addition, even if she couldn't see, she would remain quiet.

Fina entered the hole headfirst. However, as Old Time Tea was a little older and heavier, he went down feet-first. In case anything changed along the way, he could still try to climb out.

In addition, his bamboo hat was somewhat inconvenient. It could enter the hole if laid flat and could only enter at an angle. Thus, he decided that his legs would have to enter first.

At this moment, the drone took off again and carefully flew a few meters away from where Old Time Tea was.

Old Time Tea knew that Zhang Zian was looking at himself via the drone and that it could also transmit sound. He first waved his paw at the drone and explained, ”The pyramid is extremely dark, and the air is not satisfactory. I will continue moving in to find Fina.”

After that, he took off his bamboo hat and dragged it behind him, using it to create friction with the wall to control the speed at which he descended.

”The tower is very dark indeed…”

Zhang Zian landed the drone as he spoke to himself. Then…

”Hey! Next in line is Galaxy!”

Zhang Zian unexpectedly turned around and saw Galaxy saying that with a very serious look.

”Galaxy, you want to go in as well? The passage is very narrow. Old Time Tea also said that it is very dark, so dark that you can't even see your fingers…” he warned.

Darkness and narrow spaces were Galaxy's natural enemies. If only one was present, that would be better for it. However, when both elements were present, even ordinary people would find the situation extremely uncomfortable, let alone Galaxy.

A 21x21cm square space was much like the breadth of a piece of A4 paper. Although a cat could easily squeeze in, there was little remaining space thereafter. To then slip into an endless stream of darkness... It was a feeling worse than being buried alive in a coffin. Thus, he reminded Galaxy not to force it.

Galaxy cringed for a moment, but nevertheless, it still reluctantly said, ”Hey, Galaxy wants to try! There are people inside who Galaxy wants to see!”

This was the second time it had mentioned someone whom it wanted to see. This was understandable. After all, if they used the Great Pyramid as a template, the passage should be connected to the tomb where mummies lay. Although it was not clear whether it led to the tomb of the king or queen, with enough luck, it might land right next to their resting places.

Suppose Galaxy really wanted to see Cleopatra, and she was indeed lying inside.
