The eagle flew away, bringing with it a cool breeze.
A breeze swept by, and a withered leaf drifted in the air like a small boat. The wind stopped, the leaf fell, and suddenly, a new leaf appeared on the head of the little snake under the tree's shadow.
The palm-sized leaf instantly obscured the misty liquid in the little snake's eyes.
Silver Ring peeked its head out from among the leaves, as if in slow motion.
She looked up, gazing at the sky in despair.
A cool breeze was blowing, and a chill fermented in Silver Ring's heart. It was so cold that even the tip of its tail lost its strength.
Waaaaah—
She climbed so hard for a month, and just like that, it's gone...gone...gone.
That's too unfair to snakes.
Bad eagle, bad eagle, big bad eagle..…
Cutting off a demon's path to immortality is like killing a demon's parents. Hmph, you villain, just wait, this snake will avenge this murder of its kin sooner or later.
That wretched eagle, you won't let me retire to prison, but I'm going to go anyway...
Not only will I go there, I'll also punch holes in your prison, making it riddled with holes!
Silver Ring was seething with anger, and she spit her tongue at the sky a few times to vent her frustration.
After giving herself a pep talk, she shook her head, knocking the leaf off her head, and then disappeared into the woods.
Silver Ring prepared to recuperate before launching the plan and returning to prison.
This time, she's not only going by herself, she's also bringing her friends along...
Oh right, I should go find my friends first.
She left Fuding Mountain a month ago, and she doesn't know if the little guy has been bullied by other animals.
Silver Ring wandered through the forest with practiced ease, disappearing into the night in no time.
The night was endless, with mountains stretching as far as the eye could see.
Yin Huan has lived in Fuding Mountain since birth, and she knows the area better than anyone else. Although it's not a famous mountain, the mountain range is exceptionally large.
Deep in the mountains, human presence is extremely rare.
For at least the past one or two hundred years, the silver ringed pheasant and the Luo Mang pheasant have rarely seen human footprints in the deep mountains. On the contrary, some animals that are now considered top-level protected animals by the world are more frequently seen.
As night deepened, various nocturnal animals emerged from their burrows, actively foraging and playing in the forest.
Nighttime is the most dangerous time for all animals living in the mountains.
Animals that come out to forage play not only the role of predator, but also the role of prey.
Silver Ring cautiously moved through the forest. Suddenly, as if sensing something, her writhing body abruptly stopped, her head arched to the ground, and she immediately burrowed into the decaying leaves.
A sudden hoot of an owl rang out in the sky, followed by a thud and a struggling sound. The two sounds, one after the other, subsided into silence after a moment.
After everything calmed down, Silver Ring poked its head out from among the decaying leaves, raised its eyes, and, by the faint moonlight, watched the owl fly into the sky after catching its prey, before continuing on its way.
In the struggle for survival, this is just a very ordinary foraging activity in the mountains and forests.
Unfortunately, the diet of the hunting party just happened to include snakes.
Although Silver Ring is somewhat absent-minded, her sense of danger is naturally more acute than that of ordinary animals. This ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune has been evident since the moment she was born.
Although Luo Mang told her that she was a demon, unlike unintelligent animals, and that those unintelligent animals couldn't harm her at all, Yin Huan was very self-aware. Given her current state—she couldn't even sense the essence of the sun and moon—even as a demon, she was still just easy prey for some animals.
...Okay, even now, the foolish Silver Ring still believes that he cannot sense the essence of the sun and moon.
This misunderstanding has become quite serious. Luo Mang has been under the influence of powerful sun and moon essence these past two days, and he's also constantly on guard against Huo Fei discovering the silver ring, so he simply forgot to tell her about the strange things happening to her.
This led the Silver Ring into a misconception. After returning to the mountains, it began to be constantly on guard and vigilant.
Most importantly, she clearly understood that she was a snake that appeared to be highly venomous, but was actually a complete weakling, even more useless than its non-venomous counterparts.
Don't be fooled by her threatening smile and bared teeth. In all her three hundred years of life, she has never actually bitten anyone.
The thing she did most in her life was to threaten others with poison.
Silver Ring, who considered himself a complete weakling, swam and climbed!
Having dodged the owls and the king cobras that lived in the forest, I finally climbed to the hill next to my house.
She was on tenterhooks the whole way, afraid that she might become someone's animal meal if she wasn't careful. Little did she know that her appearance frightened the animals roaming under the cover of night. Some tucked their tails between their legs and dared not show themselves, while others, like the owl that caught a mouse and was so frightened that it didn't even dare to perch on the tree to eat, immediately flew into the sky to escape. Not one of them dared to appear in front of her.
The owl was unlucky; it was just catching a mouse, how did it end up with that little snake that roamed Fuding Mountain...? Rumor has it that the two ferocious snakes, one big and one small, had already left the mountains?
Why did you come back?
Not only did she come back, but her aura had also inexplicably changed; I almost didn't recognize her just now...
As an unintelligent owl, the problem was too complicated for it to understand, and in the end, it could only rely on its instincts to fly away from this dangerous area.
