If Ling Xiao could see it, he would find a bat trapped in the corner, speaking in human language and impersonating his mother's voice.

“Come here, baby,” the bat lured.

But the next instant, Emei pierced a large hole in its head.

"How could this be..." The bat was still stunned when it died. It didn't know how Ling Xiao had seen through it. Its voice clearly had a hallucinogenic effect. Before it could finish speaking, the bat stopped breathing and spat something out of its mouth, which fell to the ground.

Ling Xiao listened to the sound, bent down and picked up the object. It was smooth to the touch, like a small stone, and when he held it in his hand, he actually felt very relaxed.

"Hand over what you have in your hand!" He had only taken a few steps when he heard an old man's voice say to him.

Ling Xiao tilted his head slightly, frowned, and looked somewhat displeased. He didn't like such an impolite guy.

"Kid, no matter how you got out of there, that thing belongs to us. As long as you hand it over, we'll let you go anytime!" another voice said.

"One, two, three, four." Ling Xiao listened to the breathing around him and pointed in the direction of the group of people, counting them. There were four people around him, who must have been watching from the sidelines. There must be some kind of barrier inside that prevented them from getting through or out. They had been waiting outside to surround him after he went in and got what he wanted.

“You need a reason to take something,” Ling Xiao said.

“Amitabha, benefactor, this is a sacred Buddhist artifact, a relic refined by Master Xuan Kong of my Buddhist sect. It was accidentally stolen by that bat, which escaped into the magic array. Since you killed it and retrieved the sacred artifact, please give it to this humble monk. This humble monk will chant sutras for you every day to cleanse your soul and accumulate merit,” said an old man who had been standing at the back.

"You're saying this is a relic?" Ling Xiao asked with some disdain. Everyone says that relics are actually stones from the bodies of monks, so he must have been holding this stone for a long time.

"Why waste words with him? Just trap him with a magic array. Given how many sins he has committed, it's better to let him be like that bat and refine him later." After saying that, he started to set up the array. The other three had no choice but to cooperate.

Ling Xiao stood motionless, his mind reeling. This was a tomb raiding world, not a supernatural one, was it? What bats were they talking about? Was the person who impersonated his mother a bat? Hahaha, he wondered if his mother would be so angry she'd sit up straight from her coffin if she knew! Hmm, probably not. Was she cremated? Or was she thrown into a mass grave? He couldn't remember.

What kind of magic array is this? These people know magic? Thinking back to when he first arrived in this world, he'd seen a fairy—a weasel…

No, no, no, I must have misunderstood. I've heard that weasels are naturally spiritual, and it's not uncommon for them to become spirits. That bat just now was also because it swallowed a relic. Wait, a magic circle! Why don't they just come up and snatch it? They're all human; four against one should have a chance, right? Why use a magic circle?

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao squeezed the relic in his hand, took two steps forward, and sure enough, when the people saw him walking forward, they immediately took a few steps back.

Ling Xiao's lips curled into a handsome smile. These people couldn't directly touch the relic. After learning its function, Ling Xiao had originally wanted to swallow it, but the thought of it being spat out by a bat made him feel uncomfortable. Wait, he needed a wet wipe...

Just as Ling Xiao put the relic back into his space and was wiping his hands, the magic array was activated. Ling Xiao felt a strange dizziness and collapsed to the ground.

When he opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by darkness, but he could see clearly as if he had night vision. The place seemed familiar, but he seemed to be on the ground. Everything around him was huge, and something felt off. Maybe it was a little itchy? He reached out and scratched his head. Wait, what is this? Why is it raised as a hind leg?

Hmm? Hind legs? Hmm?

He looked down at his body. Hmm? What's this? A tail... a tail? He's grown a tail?

Reach out your hand.

⊙?⊙! What is this? A cat's paw?

"Meow :-O" Wait a minute, what's with his meow? It's one thing to turn into a cat, but why is his meow so cute? Why isn't it "meow" or "cat"? Why is it "meow"?
