Following the big cat forward, they turned a corner and saw an entrance to a cave.
The entrance should have once been built up, but it had collapsed, leaving nothing but a pile of rubble and ruins. Judging by the marks, the craftsmanship of the building must have been quite exquisite; when intact, it must have been a resplendent place.
As they walked into the cave, they immediately saw a statue. The statue's arms and wings had fallen off, leaving just the head, neck, and a bare torso.
Negris now knew what "Embryo Dragon" the big cat had seen; the statue was about the same size as its current form, with a face wearing a smiling expression. Even it couldn't help but jump in fright, "Why is there a statue of me here?"
"Ao~" the big cat said.
"Okay, okay, I know you've just arrived and don't know these things; I wasn't asking you. Anthony, do you know?" Negris asked.
