The Serpents' Lair 1

The snakes, being the creatures that loved cold, obviously hated the heat.

More than what they hated the heat, they feared the fire.

Though Tanzi's hand was just too hot at this moment with the way she regulated her palm's temperature, in a visual sense, it still looked like it was covered in fire.

Hence all the snakes that were still covered under a layer of snow were scared as soon as they saw the 'fire' that lit at the tip of her hand.

All the snakes came out and scattered away as they rushed to run away.

At once, around a hundred snakes came into view, making Tanzi open her mouth wide in shock.

She had expected quite a number of snakes to be hidden around her but the number which came into her view was without a doubt beyond her expectations.

Just how did all these snakes were able to hide themselves so easily?

She still did not understand.

In fear, all the snakes were running around but most of them got tangled with each other and couldn't easily 'escape' the 'danger zone' easily.

Tanzi did not care about all these scaredy snakes. As her targets have always been the snakes that 'disturbed' her earlier and 'mocked' her in secret.

Yes, she can get petty sometimes too.

She raised her flaming hand and spoke in a louder voice once again, "If the ones that disturbed me earlier did not come in front, I will burn all the snakes that are present in this area."

With that she even raised her hand a little motioning to show that she was ready to burn the snake that was near her.

In an instant, the snakes that were remotely near her scattered away without caring that they were jumping over the other snakes that were still in their way.

The dark snakes moving around on the surface of white snow gave a creepy image to look at. But Tanzi is not the one to be scared of such tiny beings either.

She just scoffed at them and waited for the main culprits to show themselves in front of her.

Since the 'culprits' did not show them even after waiting for a while, she had no other choice but to take the final step.

She once again loudly spoke making sure that all the living beings in the surrounding area could hear her very clearly, "Listen all of you. Surrender your pals that just disturbed me earlier. Otherwise I will really destroy all of you too."

Before any of them could respond or ignore her once again, she continued, "Don't think that you are helping your friends by hiding them. The ones who don't care about the safety of all their friends and could endanger so many lives and be selfish don't deserve your loyalty. Don't you all think so too? Just hand them over and you all would be safe. If not, you all would also be …"

Of course she did not continue speaking but instead simply raised her hand a few inches above to show what she wanted to do.

Her simple action is an enough threat compared to her words and all the snakes visibly shivered under her eyes.

She saw that all the snakes did not move any longer and froze in their spots.

The view looked like one huge lump of rope that was tangled up and had so many knots within.

"I will close my eyes for three seconds. By the time I open my eyes, I want to see your final decision," She calmly spoke and closed her eyes just as she said.

By the time she opened her eyes, what came into her sight was a huge circle. She was standing while three snakes were lying in the middle of this circle.

The so called circle was actually formed by all the snakes that had moved away from the center.

"So you are the ones that disturbed me earlier?" Tanzi raised an eyebrow and questioned the three snakes that were looking at her.

"Hiss."

"Hiss~"

"Hiss!"

"Okay, I am sure that it's you." She waved her hands casually and rolled her eyes, "Just how dare you disturb me so many times? And you did not even come out after I called you to come out repeatedly!"

"Hiss."

"Hiss~"

"Hiss!"

"Huh? What did you just say? How dare you say that to me?" Tanzi was angered as soon as she heard the three snakes speaking.

She made a fist and was about to punch them but then again stopped herself.
