Tantai Yu gestured for everyone to stop, but the snake had already spotted them and its massive body slithered rapidly toward them.
Its two eyes are like giant lanterns, illuminating the entire cave as brightly as day without the need for a flashlight. But one can also imagine that when it closes its eyes, darkness descends upon the cave.
The snake flicked its huge, scarlet tongue, its dark yellow eyes staring coldly at them. "Tell me, did one of you steal my egg? Or did all of you conspire to steal my egg?"
Even though everyone was prepared, they were still frightened by the enormous snake. Its body, as thick as a plane tree, coiled up like a small mountain. As it spoke to them, its body rose and fell rhythmically, making it seem like it was about to attack anyone, which startled everyone.
Linghu Lan and Tantai Yu exchanged a glance. Based on their experience from the last game, they knew that every game has its fair aspects, and the snake would be subject to the rules of the game and wouldn't harm them for the time being.
Tantai Yu replied, "We didn't steal them. You can smell them; we don't smell of eggs at all."
The snake's cold eyes scanned them up and down, looking each one over before it spoke, "We just came in, and we don't have the scent of eggs on us. You can tell by smelling us."
As soon as he said it, Tantai Yu felt inexplicably that something was off.
The snake's eyes seemed thoughtful, as if it was seriously considering what they were saying. It even stretched out its head and sniffed each person with its nose.
After sniffing it, he pondered for a long time before saying, "Alright, it seems you really didn't steal my eggs. But who gave you permission to trespass into my cave? This is my private territory, and everyone who enters my cave must die."
Linghu Lan laughed and asked, "Is there a way to avoid dying?"
"Unless you help me find the egg, even if you are a descendant of the Yellow Bird, I will still kill you."
Linghu Lan and Tantai Yu exchanged a glance, and Linghu Lan asked, "What is the Handan Yellow Bird?"
"The yellow bird is the most hateful bird in the world. It eats snake eggs and causes trouble. Every time it appears, my eggs go missing. They must have stolen my eggs."
Linghu Lan found it strange, "Since the Handan Yellow Bird is a bird, shouldn't it live in the sky? How could it come down to the ground to steal your eggs?"
"Hmph!" The snake turned its head arrogantly. "That damned fellow, they can also use the power of space to travel underground."
"The Handan Yellow Bird possesses spatial power?" Tantai Yu was extremely surprised. Spatial power is an extraordinary power, and he never expected that the Handan Yellow Bird would have such power.
The snake was somewhat displeased, staring at him with cold eyes, and asked, "You ask too many questions. It seems you don't really want to help me find my eggs. I might as well eat you now."
Linghu Lan laughed, "If you kill us, no one will be able to help you find the answer. We ask a lot of questions because we want to know more details and find the egg as soon as possible."
The snake gave a cold laugh. As a snake, it shouldn't have any expression, so the laugh startled everyone. "You have one day to find my egg. If you can't find it, you'll be buried with it!"
The game has officially begun.
