Ming Shu reached out to recapture the egg in the man's hand. She found something was wrong as soon as she touched the egg.
Dead?
Can a dead egg be eaten?
[...] Is this the time to think about whether a dead egg is edible or not? Don't tell me, she raised the egg with her own warmth these past days just to eat it? the Harmony System wondered.
This idea was scary, but without knowing why, the Harmony System felt this was the truth.
What a suffocating truth.
Taking the opportunity whilst Ming Shu focused on the egg, that man turned into smoke again. With no body beneath her foot, Ming Shu's frame wobbled a little and she almost fell to the ground.
"..." What the hell is this little goblin?
He kills the egg, and now wants to leave soundly?
That! Is! Impossible!
However, the man did not intend to run away. He transformed into a human again in midair and patted his dust-free clothes with slender fingers. "Master of the Valley, do you know what that is in your hand?"
"Food."
Just now it was still alive, but then it had been toyed with to death.
Ming Shu was very manic inside. She put away the egg and dragged a branch in her hand, a spark next to her. Swiftly and violently, she threw the branch at the man. The spark seemed to ignite the air, and countless flames swept toward him.
The man's eyes narrowed slightly. He avoided the flames with a few easy dodges.
But soon, the flames fanned by Ming Shu surrounded him on all sides, as if they had felt, like sentient beings, Ming Shu's intention. The flames continued to engulf the vegetation in an attempt to make themselves taller and stronger.
...
"Damn! You humans tricked me!" The serpent's roar resounded through the sky, and a golden light erupted from the woods all of a sudden. Then the serpent halted its huge body in a rush, knocking down the surrounding trees. They collapsed with a thunderous noise.
The flames were reflected in the golden pupil of the serpent, and in the swaying lights, two figures occasionally met and then parted again. Each time they fought hand to hand, the flames around them seemed to grow higher and higher.
Standing on the other side of the fire were many "spectators," who were paying close attention to that side.
The serpent was burning inside, as ferocious as the real fire before its eyes. It had only been a moment since it left here, why did this turn into a sea of flame? It was hard to find such a place to live!
The serpent raised high its head and rushed toward the fire angrily.
Its momentum was very fierce, such that the flames did not leave any mark on its moving gold-colored body. Meanwhile the two who were focused on their fight over there did not seem to notice. The serpent was filled with resentful hatred now. Deplorable human beings, who dared to trick it and even burn its nest. It was going to eat them.
The serpent was getting nearer, about to open its big mouth to swallow Ming Shu. However, as it rushed at them, the two standing before its nose stepped aside at the same time. The serpent didn't hit anybody, only passing by them.
Ming Shu turned over in the air and landed on the back of the serpent on her toes, then easily jumped opposite. She lifted the branch, which was like a sharp-edged sword in her hand, to rush to the man again.
