Bab 357: Ara Ara.

Yang Dao sat down in front of the ball. Before he had begun to try his idea of opening the cage for the golden crow, he had told the creature that there was another human, who was left out of the pit. He did not tell the golden crow this because he had some care for Amirah, but because he wanted the golden crow to help him guard himself. 

During the deep state of meditation, Yang Dao will not be able to do much for himself, and who knows when people get rotten ideas. So it was better to be on guard. The golden crow agreed to it without any hesitation in his mind. After all, he had been stuck in here for a long time. 

Yang Dao focused his mind on locating the equilibrium of the two elements to be able to communicate with this 'rock'. He started with a higher concentration of fire and earth. This compound in front of him was something he had never seen, and it did not react to the normal ways he tried before.
