The crow did not move.
Since it had not nodded, that meant it could not read the writing on the stone slab.
Zhao Xun thought for a moment, then told the crow, "Wait here. I'll bring another helper."
The crow obediently stood on one of the stone trays, watching Zhao Xun without moving.
Zhao Xun turned into a bat and swiftly flew outside.
Soon, he reached the woods where Firefly was and called out the Macaque Boss.
He could not be bothered to explain and did not want to waste words, so he simply hypnotized the Macaque Boss and made it follow him.
To avoid being spotted by the Frog Prince, he led the Macaque Boss along the edge of the barrier, only darting inside once they reached the cave entrance.
Although the Macaque Boss could not fly, it ran reasonably fast. By the time Zhao Xun returned to the altar with it, the round trip had taken only half an hour.
The crow was exactly as he had left it, standing motionless on the stone tray.
Only when Zhao Xun appeared did it give a soft caw.
It was as though it were saying, "I've been waiting here for you all along."
Zhao Xun pointed at the writing on the stone slab and asked the Macaque Boss, "Can you read this?"
He could not be certain that the Macaque Boss could read the writing, but he had to try.
Besides, this was a game, not reality.
In reality, there might genuinely have been no way to decipher this obscure writing.
But in a game, most clues were there to be used.
This writing was clearly one of those clues. Even if he could not read it, there was a good chance some NPC could.
The Macaque Boss leaned closer.
