    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 irondder.


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


    He only added force on hisst leap. He did a somersault in the air beforending 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 “venttion 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 ifid t 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 exined, “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 Ziannded the drone as he spoke to himself. Then...


    “Hey! Next in line is Gxy!”


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


    “Gxy, 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 Gxy’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 ufortable, let alone Gxy.


    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 Gxy not to force it.


    Gxy cringed for a moment, but nevertheless, it still reluctantly said, “Hey, Gxy wants to try! There are people inside who Gxy 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 temte, the passage should be connected to the tomb where mummiesy. Although it was not clear whether it led to the tomb of the king or queen, with enough luck, it mightnd right next to their resting ces.


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


    “Well, although I can’t solve the problem of the narrow passageway, I can help with a temporary solution for the darkness.”


    Zhang Zian, sensing he could not talk it out of this, went back to the car and took out a light stick.


    The light stick was not only used in concerts. It was also an essential item in the wilderness. It was very light, easy to carry, and it could continue to glow in water. The light was omnidirectional, soft, not ring, and could illuminate arge area. It had a wide and diverse range of uses and was more practical than a shlight.


    He bent one to make it light up and demonstrated to Gxy how to use it.


    “Wow! Great!”


    Gxy opened its mouth in surprise, its pupils reflecting the pale green glow of the light stick.


    “It’s very simple. You can fold it, you can step on it, or you can drop it. You can do just about anything to light it up.”


    Zhang Zian tied a string around the light stick. “Fina and Old Time Tea will also need some lighting. I will throw the stick down the passageway.”


    “Hey! Gxy will do it! Zhang Zian is too slow!” Gxy took the initiative and, at the same time, gave him a look that was somewhat condescending to Zhang Zian.


    “...Okay.”


    Fina and Old Time Tea must be waiting anxiously. It was a longdder... It did make his legs turn to jelly. Furthermore, the end of thedder was more than two meters away from the hole, and he couldn’t jump in directly. To get closer, it would take him a lot of effort to extend thedder.


    He handed the light stick to Gxy, and it carefully opened its mouth.


    “Oh, oh, oh!”


    Gxy made a few sounds, meaning, “I am leaving.”


    “Be careful. Don’t be too anxious when climbing thedder. Be careful when you go in. Think before you act...” He tirelessly shouted out instructions. After all, Gxy was different from Fina and Old Time Tea.


    “Oh, oh, oh!”


    Without waiting for him to finish, Gxynded on thedder and leaped up lightly.


    Its movements are neither as big as Fina’s nor as light as Old Time Tea’s. However, it still jumped naturally and looked very rxed.


    Soon, it came to thest step. It looked up and casually jumped forward.


    Zhang Zian’s heart tightened at this point. His vision turned blurry, and he could not see what had just happened. By then, Gxy was already directly in front of the hole.


    Gxy put down the light sticks, held them with its front paws, and then used its mouth to pull one out and gently bite down on it.


    The light stick bent with a slight snapping sound. Yellow light emerged.


    It plunged its head into the hole and loosened its mouth, and the light stick slid down.


    “As long as you run fast enough, you can even catch light!”


    As it talked to itself, it bowed its head, picked up the remaining light sticks, and jumped into the hole. It chased after the yellow light, escaping the darkness behind it.
