Wang Ba was delighted that his years of hard work had finally paid off, and he didn't care about the actions of the Little Black Snake.
Just then, from within the crown of the Azure Fire Paulownia Tree, a bird head with a golden-red crown suddenly emerged, seemingly sensing something. With a hint of confusion in its eyes, it looked downward.
When it saw the Little Black Snake in Wang Ba's hands, its eyes suddenly lit up.
"Eat!"
The next moment, a vermillion bird, its body shimmering with a golden luster as splendid as trembling hearts, suddenly flew out from the crown and swiftly descended toward Wang Ba's hands to snatch the Little Black Snake!
Although the Little Black Snake had just been born, its instincts allowed it to react instantly. Its already small body shrank even more, becoming the size of an earthworm, and it turned into a gap in the snake den below.
