The giant serpent immediately flipped over, refusing to expose its belly any longer, clearly indicating it did not want her to continue looking.
Yun Zhi Yue squinted; the wound stretched from the abdomen all the way to the tip of the tail, with scars that were irregular and jagged, as if it had been torn open. Surviving such a severe injury must have been incredibly difficult for it.
Thinking it was Mo Li's sorrow, Yun Zhi Yue did not ask further. After tidying up, she sat down beside the serpent's head, basking in the sun by the stream together with the creature.
Suddenly, a human voice emerged from the serpent's mouth: "Yun Zhi Yue, do you prefer yesterday's me or today's me?"
Yun Zhi Yue was taken aback; what kind of question was that?
"It's all you, so naturally, I like both."
This time, however, her progress value had decreased.
A flash of insight struck Yun Zhi Yue as she tried to grasp something, but then the Serpent Clan erupted in chaos, disrupting her thoughts.
Countless shrieks filled the air as Mo Ran quickly used its forked tongue to secure Yun Zhi Yue atop its head: "It's an enemy attack; hold on tight to my scales."
Yun Zhi Yue complied immediately, obediently lying flat on the giant serpent's head.
Mo Ran swiftly maneuvered back to the tribe. Seeing a sky full of eagles, it raised its tail and struck down the nearest giant eagle. In an instant, blood rained down like a storm; both she and Mo Li's recently cleaned serpentine bodies were drenched in crimson.
She had witnessed battles between Snake Eagles before, but those had been solitary encounters. Now, with blood raining down every moment, the most primal struggle unfolded before Yun Zhi Yue's eyes.
Perhaps it lacked the destructive power of celestial beings clashing, but the visceral brutality of flesh colliding and fangs gnashing was far more immediate in conveying the cruelty of slaughter than any clash of spiritual forces could.
Many snakes were severed in half, their intestines spilling out. Yet those snakes had once transformed into living human forms before her eyes.
A Black-Body Green-Eyed Snake was also engaged in the fray among the serpents and occasionally glanced her way. Yun Zhi Yue observed it several times; that snake looked just like Mo Li.
In this chaotic dance of serpents, there were many black snakes amidst the bloodshed, making it hard for her to distinguish whether they were identical or not.
With a sharp eagle cry piercing through the air, it was clear that the eagle flock was beginning to form a formation.
With their wings aiding them and their movements agile, they held an advantage over the serpents who could not fly and struggled to reach their targets when they wanted to attack. For a moment, they were at a disadvantage.
Yun Zhi Yue felt anger rising as she watched those winged creatures; she had often been mocked for being unable to outrun them due to her grounded nature.
Gazing at the towering trees around her, Yun Zhi Yue narrowed her eyes as a rich green light flickered in her gaze.
The trees and vines began to stretch and twist upward; initially unnoticed by both combatants, by the time they realized what was happening, it was already too late—the canopy above had sealed off their movements, restricting the eagles' activity.
All the beasts looked up at the small female standing atop Mo Ran's head, her eyes glowing with a green light. It was she who had done this!
The beastmen could not see the spirit of the wood, but as creatures of the wild, they were extremely sensitive to the breath of nature. At this moment, the realm that had been confined was under the control of that female.
With a sharp cry, the leading eagle let out another screech, and this time all the eagles dove towards Yun Zhi Yue.
What the hell!
Yun Zhi Yue was startled and quickly scrambled down Mo Ran's head. She pried open his mouth and squeezed herself inside, her upper body disappearing while her bottom half remained outside, creating a rather comical scene.
But this was not the time for jokes. A giant python, brown and adorned with patterns, transformed into a human shape—it was none other than the Serpent Clan Leader.
He shouted loudly, "Everyone listen up! Protect the female of brothers Mo Li and Mo Ran! Eliminate all those from the Eagle Tribe!"
Hiss! Hiss!
Countless snakes hissed in response, frantically blocking the Eagle Tribe's attacks on Mo Ran. With their wings restricted, the Eagles were no match for the Serpent Clan in their territory, and soon suffered heavy casualties.
Meanwhile, Yun Zhi Yue, whose bottom half had just entered Mo Ran's mouth, was dumbfounded. Did she just hear that correctly? The female of brothers Mo Li and Mo Ran?
