"I would stay behind and try to buy you some more time," Fang Heng patted Ovi's shoulder. "If all goes well, we'll meet at the other end of the passage."
"Alright."
Ovi looked at Fang Heng and reached out, handing over a rhombus-shaped special leaf.
"What's this?"
"The inheritance book of the Leaf tribe, the spiritual curse prayer," Ovi explained. "My father was once an honorable elder within the tribe, and I have been raised since childhood in the inheritance of nurturing the sacred tree. This portion of prayers is related to the inheritance of nurturing the sacred tree. Please help me safeguard it. If anything happens to me, be sure to pass it on to an elder of the Leaf Tribe."
Fang Heng's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you escorting it yourself?"
