Joanne choked, what she saw up ahead was something truly more disgusting than she had imagined.
"Smith.. don't tell me it's the giant black snake mentioned in the mission, right…?" Joanne swallowed her saliva with great difficulty.
Smith who was standing next to him seemed silent and noticed the snake that was sitting in place with a circular body position. The man did not move as well as Joanne who looked disgusted.
"It looks like it's him" Smith said.
The black snake, almost the size of the world's largest snake, was lying in a circular posture in front of Smith and Joanne.
On the head of the snake was something like a sparkling red crystal. His scales were so thick, and sparkling. Then in his eyes; his pupils were pitch-black. Darker than his body.
"Why isn't he moving?" Joanne asked slightly closer to Smith who was nearby. The snake seemed silent with its eyes open, but it did not move at all. Joanne could not see the creature trying to attack or swallow them both.
Smith was still watching the huge creature before him. His face looked calm, not the slightest trace of fear from his face.
"He's sleeping." Said Smith.
"What?" Joanne looked at him. "You blind? Lookie! His eyes are open." Joanne pointed towards the two snake eyes.
"How could you assume he's asleep?" Joanne was inexhaustible.
"Don't you know that snakes always sleep with their eyes open? That's because the part of the upper skin that's supposed to close their eyes when asleep is transparent, so when the snake falls asleep its pupils will remain visible." Obviously Smith.
"really? You know where it's from?"
"I have snakes in the house."
"so. Now most importantly, we find the Kane Collection we're looking for and leave him before he wakes up and turns us to stone."
"But the Kane Collection we're looking for is in his body, remember?"
"I'm right too. That means it's going to be very difficult to take his Kane Collection without getting him up."
"Then what now?" Joanne looked at him questioningly, Smith was silent for a moment trying to figure out a way for them to take the Kane Collection and leave immediately.

Jackson continued walking until he found a room that was so far from where he had fallen.
In the room, he saw many large eggs gathered along the hallway through which he passed.
Jackson spread his gaze and continued to move. "What is this egg?"
The man approached one egg, tapped it slowly then listened to it by attaching an ear to the egg that was near it. The egg responded, Jackson gasped in shock as soon as he found it moving.
"What is this egg really? Why are there so many?" Jackson continued on his way, going deeper and deeper. And the further he went; the more eggs he saw.
Jackson arrived at the corner of the room, where there was a place surrounded by so many eggs hiding among a pile of glittering treasures. In the middle of the egg; there was something stored like a trophy that seemed to be more valuable than the egg and other treasures in the room.
