  Today was the most unlucky day for Richard.

  He had hoped that the others would not find the hole on the side wall of the pyramid. However, he had clearly failed. Now he had to roll down the slope of the airway. The journey made him lose his sense of direction, and he could not tell what he was looking at. His head hit the wall countless times, and he was worried that the impact would turn him stupid……

  He decided to use his two wings to protect his head. Anything would be better than being a fool—after all, he depended on his wits, not his wings, to find food to eat. Unlike what Zhang Zian had said, that he used his mouth to eat, he felt he relied entirely on his own skills.

  He was grateful to this slope because it extended downward at a 45-degree angle. If it was any steeper, he would’ve simply been freefalling.

  At the same time, Richard hated the slope. Why was it so long? It felt like a neverending tumble.

  When the slope finally ended, he felt like he was discharged like sewage into a large tank. He slammed into something hard before hitting the ground.

  He thought he would die like this. There seemed to be a thousand flies flying in his brain, and a splitting headache was emerging fast……

  He’d never imagined dying in a pyramid…… Empty…… Lonely…… Cold……

  After waiting for a while, his whole body was in pain. It seemed like he would not die. It was probably because a bird’s bones were relatively light and would not easily fracture.

  “Ah……” He heaved a sigh of relief and tried to stand up. However, his head once again hit something hard, like a metallic item. It made a loud sound that echoed through the space.

  He fell again. He tried to stand, got hit, and fell again……

  He thought that he kept hitting the item because he did not open his eyes. Now, he opened them wide, but there seemed to be no difference.

  “Hey! Hey! Is it…… Is it that I am blind? Did I become an ostrich? What should I do? The handsome me is so damn embarrassed……”


  The last section of the air duct had a turn at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal level. That caused the light from the entrance to be almost completely blocked in the tomb.

  “Hey…… Zhang Zian, you brat, come and save me! I am blind now! You need to look after me till I die!” he growled sadly.

  He had suppressed his desire to speak the entire day. Every time he’d spoken, he had been criticized. Now he could finally speak.

  Yet no matter what he said, no one responded.

  He flapped his wings and tried to wave them in front of him. He ended up hitting a very hard metal vessel. It was also there on the left, but on the right, it seemed to be empty.

  So he rolled to the right, then stood up carefully. This time he finally succeeded.

  “Hey! Zhang Zian, you brat, how can you simply abandon me? You must be celebrating that you finally got rid of me…… No! I won’t give you that! Even if I have to climb, I will get myself out of here! Then, I will sh*t on your head with…… Hey!”


  Richard had not finished speaking when he heard sounds coming from the airway…… A squeaky sound, like a sharp object such as glass or claws rubbing on a stone.

  He didn’t have time to react before a fluffy object pressed into him and pushed him towards a stone.

  “Who? Which idiot is it……”


  He jumped a little. He did not get to finish what he was saying before he heard the same bored tone. The voice said, “So very dark.”


  “Hey! It is Fina, Her Majesty! You came here to rescue me! I am really grateful…… Ah, you……did you get hurt on your way here? I was able to be of service to you. It is really my blessing……”


  Richard was starting to sound rather incoherent. He spoke nicely in an attempt to please Fina, trying to make Fina ignore his disrespect.

  It was clear, though, that no creatures had come into this tomb for the last 2,000 years. Now there was only Fina and him. If they were trapped here, he may well be eaten by her……

  So he could not provoke Fina and give her a reason to eat him. He decided what he would do and tried to shift Fina’s attention away from him.

  Fina did not pay attention to Richard’s nonsense. It seemed that it was too dark. Even Fina had not been able to judge the position when she landed and hit the wall. She gave a resentful sigh.

  The pain gradually disappeared. She tried to locate the position of the door with her front paws.

  However, it seemed like there were all kinds of metal utensils around. There seemed to be no place without one, and it was very annoying to keep kicking things away.

  Wait a minute, even Fina had said the place was dark, hadn’t she? Richard secretly pondered. He had hope in his heart again.

  “Oh…… Fina, you are here to save me?” For the sake of survival, he played the humble card.

  Fina responded very coldly. “Go out yourself. I have no time for this.”


  If he could have, he would have—Richard wanted to rebut, but he did not have the guts to do it.

  “About that……” He wanted to plead again, but suddenly he heard a rubbing noise from the airway again. Something then quickly jumped to the side.

  Alas, this person chose the wrong direction and ended up hitting Richard.

  “Cough! Who is it that Old Time Tea hit?”


  Old Time Tea slid out of the air duct at high speed. It was very dark at the bottom, but he was prepared. He took his bucket from his back and put it in front of his body.

  Therefore, although it also hit the wall, there was a slight buffer, and the pain from the collision was less painful. In addition, Richard also helped to cushion the impact.

  The air almost left Richard. He felt that he could no longer breathe. He laid flat on the ground and made no more attempts at moving.

  “I…… I will show you that I can die!” he cried in anger.

  To be eaten by one cat was bad enough. Now two cats? It would be better to go like this, rather than to be eaten alive by two cats.

  Old Time Tea also wanted to explore, but the tomb was too dark. Although a cat’s eye could greatly gather light, there had to be light first.

  “I have already told Zhang Zian about the situation. He will find a way. Everyone will be safe, so do not panic,” he said.

  Not long later, there was another sliding sound.

  Again? Who was it this time? These idiots were all coming in one after another without giving it any thought?

  Richard was simply lying on the ground. He thought that if he stood up, he would be squashed or knocked down. It was way better to just lie there and wait to die.

  Suddenly, a light tumbled over the top of his head, hit the wall, and fell to the ground. It dazzled all around him.
