1288 Missing Talisman (1/2)

A burst of vibration, albeit less intense, came once more.

A mighty bull cast in copper was affected by the vibration and slid abruptly. Its four hooves rubbed against the floor and made a harsh grating sound. The horns on its head reflected the light.

If a person got poked by these horns, they would inevitably bleed. Even if they only got hit by the bull's head, it was likely to leave a fracture.

Zhang Zian was so scared that he jumped aside and hid behind a bronze statue of a sphinx.

The copper bull slammed into the stone wall. Both got damaged in the process. A corner was chipped off, and the bull lost a horn.

This was way too dangerous! He was sweating profusely, and he took the opportunity to wipe his sweat on the sphinx.

This sphinx was not in the squatting posture. Unlike the one found in front of the Great Pyramid, it stood on four feet. With its more slender body and beautiful face, it depicted a woman plus a lioness, with a vulture-and-cobra combination on the crown.

Some wooden boxes had also been opened by the vibration. Robes, short skirts, flails, short sticks, ivory plates, anti-corroded cattle tails, and more fell out of the boxes. These were all of the symbols of royal power.

There were jewels everywhere on the floor. Stepping on one guaranteed a slip. Then a moving statue or stone could hit you and crush you. The jeweled tomb had become a dangerous place.

Zhang Zian used the stone statues and walls for support. He then ran down the corridor and tried to seek refuge in the tomb of the king.

He still had a lot of self-control. He didn't bend over to grab the jewels. First of all, he did not have a free hand to do it. Second, the situation was very unsafe. What if a certain copper bull's horn poked his anus?

He was too young to go around with an exterior urine bag. Even a golden urine bag would not be worth it!

The light in the tomb was not strong. The light sticks swayed and flickered. One had to pay attention or one could easily find themselves in a dangerous position.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared over his head. Zhang Zian subconsciously wanted to hide, but he took a closer look. It turned out to be Galaxy.

”Galaxy, did you see Fina?” he asked quickly.

”Meow! Fina went to the tomb of the king.” Galaxy pointed back with his claws.

”Well then, go out first. It is very dangerous here. Famous and the rest are waiting by the car. I will meet you after I find Fina!” Zhang Zian said in a hurry.

”Meow! Let's go together!” Galaxy had obviously come from the tomb of the king. Now, he was heading back once more.

Besides, they were merely a few steps away from it. Zhang Zian said nothing more. Instead of wasting time talking, it would be better to focus on finding Fina. Fast.

He and Galaxy passed through the big corridor one after the other. They stepped over all kinds of burial objects. They ran to the entrance of the tomb of the king. There, they spotted her. Fina. Yet she stood there, a suspicious look on her face.

Zhang Zian asked, ”Who are you?”

The gray-faced Fina looked very different from her usual bright and beautiful self. It was as if she had been transformed from a princess into a village dweller. Her golden coat had been dyed gray by the smoke. Without observing her size and her eyes, he'd almost mistakenly thought that it was Vladimir, whom he'd met earlier…

Fina was silent. Seeing that she had no intention of speaking and would probably use her claws instead, Zhang Zian quickly changed the topic. ”Sorry, the light is not good. I just didn't recognize you!”

”...Why did you come?” Fina reluctantly lowered her paws.
