The Tablet-Carrying Stone Tortoise

‘Someone’s actually here?’ swept past Fang Xing’s mind as he grew a little worried. Whether it was after he’d entered the tomb or the time leading up to it, he’d always been unafraid in large part because he was fully prepared. With his Book of Revelation, they were able to seek out luck and avoid calamity and everything was within his control, but now a person was suddenly speaking to him in this deathly place.

Or, perhaps it wasn’t a person, but it was still something alive and with intelligence.

After Fang Xing’s initial surprise, he quickly drew a step backwards and placed his blade protectively in front of himself. "Who’s this? Are you human, ghost, beast, or demon? Why not come out for a walk?" he loudly asked.

The golden crow also let out a loud cry. His eyes shifted left and right, and he prepared himself to flee at any moment.
