The situation turned for worst for the Black Mercenary. Just a while ago, they were grabbing all the treasures they could find. They even betrayed Linggu to monopolize the entire resources.

And now, they were running for their lives desperate to live through this nightmare.

The sphix was too powerful. Even the two elders were no match against it, much less them.

Arthur\'s mind was running wild. He was thinking of possible ways of escaping this calamity. Soon, his eyes perked and shouted, "Return all the treasures! Don\'t keep even a single one!"

He thought that the sphinx was acting this way because they were robbing this tomb. He was actually betting that the beast would stop once the treasures were returned.

The soldiers immediately followed the order albeit with trembling hands. They put the pouches forward and immediately backed off after doing it. Currently, all the treasures had been returned. Some were even returned to their places.

"Raaaaah!" But the sphinx was still angry. It was looking at the mercenaries like a little food to chomp down.

"Dear Ancestor, please spare us." Arthur knelt down and kowtow three times, "We are nothing but ants in front of your greatness. We can be your slave or whatsoever, just please don\'t kill us."

Jin Rou smirked by this show of desperate move. Since he couldn\'t defeat the beast, he was pleading for his life like a dog. But, this was a smart move though. With no options left to choose, begging for life didn\'t actually that shameful.

"Stomp!" The sphinx stomped the ground angrily. It looked at Arthur and slapped him away like a soft paper.

"Urgh!" Arthur felt like his insides were misplaced. He vomit blood and his eyes were turning blurry. That slap got half of his life drained.

"Ahhh! Help me!" Soon, the beast started stomping the mercenaries to death. It was doing it wildly as if it had no sense of reason. It just wanted to kill everyone in its path, no excuses. Screams of help could be heard ringing to the ears, but soon it turned down.

Seeing this gory scene, Arthur felt his blood running cold. He ran for the door and used his strongest technique to break it, an attempt for one last chance. Unfortunately, luck wasn\'t on his side.

The sphinx jumped and ravaged the little body of Arthur by its mouth. It was a merciless sight that made Linggu tremble in fear.

It was over. Now that the mercenaries died, they would be next. Much worse, they were binded so they couldn\'t do anything about it.

"This is it for us, Brother Jin." Linggu looked at Jin Rou with sad eyes, "I\'m sorry."

"I told you, it\'s not." Jin Rou shook his head while smiling. The beast was slowly nearing them, thus he dropped the act and broke the chains in which made Linggu flabbergasted.

He just broke it like a tofu? He couldn\'t believe his eyes. Then, Jin Rou also broke his chains and said, "Get up and wait for me."

Jin Rou stood toe to toe with the sphinx. His eyes weren\'t wavering as he upped his game for a staring competition. His lips curved into a smile and said, "You can calm down now."

Jin Rou looked so small in front of this sphinx in terms of size. Thus, he could only touch the leg part of the beast. Soon, an unbelievable sight happened.

The growling beast suddenly calmed down and sat down, while trying to wag its tails like a faithful dog.

"Yes, that\'s it." Jin Rou laughed, "We meant no harm in your master\'s tomb, so you can be rest assured. We don\'t even plan on taking the treasures away."

Linggu couldn\'t process what\'s happening and asked, "I don\'t seem to understand what\'s going on..."

The sphinx was killing people a while ago and now it looked like a dog in front of Jin Rou waiting for orders. This was inconceivable knowing the recent happenings. How did Jin Rou tame this mighty beast? And, why it was acting so familiar with him? Did they have a history in the past?

Soon, Jin Rou walked over to the stairs and said softly, "Your master left you in this tomb to guard the treasures. After all, even she couldn\'t know what will happen if the treasures on these stairs see the light of the day."

"Rah..." The beast growled lowly as if it was agreeing with Jin Rou.

"I cannot take these treasures, Little Beast." Jin Rou shook his head and sighed, "These items have no use to me, but it can be greed inducing if I take it with me."

It turned out that the beast was trying to make Jin Rou get all the treasures here. It\'s as if it was giving it all to him.

\'He already has a name for it?\' Linggu seemed his world to turn upside down. Not to mention, it\'s acting cute in front of him! The fog of mystery was getting around Jin Rou.

Who was he, really?

But in any case, Jin Rou couldn\'t really take the treasures. But he had a better idea, "Instead of taking this out, how about I keep these all here with no chance of being discovered by anyone? And for your security, you can hibernate with the treasures here just like the usual."

Little Beast\'s eyes shone and licked Jin Rou. It looked happy with that suggestion.

Jin Rou smiled wryly and said, "All right, time to go back to sleep now."

Soon, the sphinx turned into a glow of light and entered the stairs. Jin Rou flipped his hands and a simple jar appeared in his hands, "With this, the tomb will never be discovered by anyone again."

As he did this, Han Li\'s memories and emotions were connected with Jin Rou and couldn\'t help but feel heavy about it. It turned out that Han Li had a connection with the person who made this tomb and died here. But he didn\'t see the remains. Perhaps, it decayed over the span of time.
