"The Forest Keeper?"

The small group casually walked through the forest as Ming Yue and Hua Xiong conversed. It was strange to say the least. 

The Boundless Beast Forest is a place of immense danger with no end to powerful monsters. Danger was everywhere, there are always eyes watching you, the thought that death could come at any moment is a lingering one. The invisible pressure of it all is enough to break ordinary people, even those who have faced danger before dare not to stay in one place for very long. 

And yet, standing beside Hua Xiong, Ming Yue felt none of that. That tense and heavy atmosphere was nowhere to be found. It was like they were just strolling through an ordinary forest. 

She found it strange but knew that it had to have been because of the tortoise, the one Hua Xiong refered to as the Forest Keeper.

But who was this beast exactly?

What relationship did it have wth Hua Xiong?
