Chapter 256 A Group of Rabbit-Eared Girls
Somewhere in the Wumeng Mountains.

"Whoosh!"

Ah Kun landed on Ah She's big head and pecked it twice.

Ah She immediately twitched her ears and looked eastward in surprise.

A secret treasure has been discovered?
"Roar--"

Ah She immediately leaped up and stomped deeply into the ground.

"Susu-"

Soon, the ground rose up.

Little White emerged from underground, covering its head in dissatisfaction and squeaking at Ah She: "Squeak squeak squeak!"

Ah She grinned, lay down on the ground, and gestured for Xiao Bai to come up.

Only then was Xiaobai satisfied. It nimbly leaped onto Ah She's broad, platform-like back, patted Ah She's scales with its little paws, and pointed eastward, its meaning clear: Let's go!

Ah She immediately twisted her nine-meter-long body, carrying Xiao Bai and Ah Kun on her back, and silently headed towards the dense forest to the east like a nimble land vessel.

Ah Kun ran a couple of steps, then impatiently flew into the air and hovered low to lead the way.

The blue feathers streaked across the light and shadow in the forest.

Not long after.

A strange valley appeared in front of the three beasts. The valley was covered with slippery moss and dense climbing vines, and looked quite ordinary.

but.

The vegetation here is noticeably darker in color than in other places.

A faint, refreshing scent filled the air.

Upon closer inspection, a strange moss-covered opening, emitting a faint glow, can be vaguely seen among the vines.

The fragrance originated from inside the cave.

The three beasts stopped at the edge of the valley, observing warily.

"Chirp!"

Right behind there!
Ah Kun fluttered down onto Ah She's head and pointed towards the cave.

"Squeak!!"

However, Xiaobai simply stood up and sniffed the air twice before issuing a warning.

dangerous!
Forcing your way in would be dangerous!
Ah She nodded its big head. Although it had thick skin and flesh, it was also very sensitive to danger.

I completely agree with Xiaobai's judgment.

Ah Kun's pair of dark, shiny eyes were fixed on the moss-covered cave entrance as he paced restlessly on Ah She's back.

"Choo Choo Choo!"

What should I do?
Sudden.

Little White's eyes lit up. It patted the snake with its little paws and pointed to the ground.

Then it made a digging motion downwards.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Enter from below.

Avoid the top!

It immediately came up with a roundabout strategy.

Upon hearing this, Ah Kun nodded his little head vigorously, like a pecking at rice: "Chirp, chirp!"

good idea!
Ah She was still somewhat hesitant, but her eyes were full of eagerness.

It wanted to find this treasure and present it to the leader.

This is absolutely a great achievement!

However, danger must also be taken into account.

So the three beasts circled the valley about ten times before finally getting together and chattering for a while.

"Chirp!"

Finally, Ah Kun screamed and flew into the air, indicating that he would take charge of guarding the area.

Ah She was in charge of pushing away the excavated soil and rocks, while Xiao Bai was in charge of clearing the way!
Just do it!

Little White leaped off Ah Snake's back and landed on a rocky area a few hundred meters away from the cave entrance.

It sniffed around the ground and finally chose a spot.

Those seemingly small front claws instantly transformed into alloy shovels, leaving afterimages as they rapidly began digging the soil!
The dirt and gravel were thrown behind it at an astonishing speed.

It quickly formed a cave entrance that extended downwards at an angle, allowing only itself to pass through.

Ah She suddenly shrank in size and slithered into the cave.

Then it grew larger and carefully pushed the soil and rocks that Little White had dug out out of the cave.

The two beasts cooperated and advanced downwards.

Ah Kun flew high above, his sharp eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, acting as a sentinel.

They had no idea what was hidden behind the mountain wall.

But in order to give their leader a surprise, the three little ones are working together and making unwavering progress toward that treasure land.

The excavation work lasted a full day.

By the time Xiaobai and Ashe emerged from the tunnel, panting heavily, Akun had already hunted down a large Ironfeathered Eagle for dinner.

After a quick meal, the three beasts continued their operation under the cover of night.

Xu Feng was unaware of the situation on the three beasts' side, but he vaguely sensed that the three beasts seemed to be very excited.

However, since the emperor was far away and he was in a remote area, he allowed the three beasts to roam freely.

At this moment, he was leading the young divine ape "Kongkong" along the edge of the Qinling Mountains, heading back towards Base No. 9.

Xu Feng did not choose to fly.

On the one hand, we want Kongkong to adapt to the external environment more.

On the other hand, I also wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about this ancient mountain range.

Whether it was fate or coincidence remains unknown.

On their way back to base, they unexpectedly encountered a new tribe.

Qinling Cloud Rabbit.

then.

Xu Feng, with "Kong Kong" in tow, was walking through a dense bamboo forest on their way back to base.

The man and the ape took a short rest.

Kongkong seemed very interested in the tender bamboo shoots, holding one and happily munching on it, making a crisp "crunch crunch" sound.

at this time.

Xu Feng's keen mental power detected an extremely faint rustling sound coming from his side and rear, as well as several quickly passing gazes filled with vigilance and curiosity.

He remained calm and composed, his steps unchanged, but his mental energy had already spread out like a spider web.

Amidst the lush green bamboo shadows, several white figures flashed by.

They are slightly smaller than adult women.

Human-shaped, rabbit-shaped.

Its entire body is covered with fluffy, white down like clouds.

The tips of its long ears were tinged with a faint light blue, and its red pupils were like the purest gemstones, exceptionally lively.

She looks almost identical to the bunny-eared girl in anime.

"Qinling Cloud Rabbit!"

Xu Feng's heart stirred as he recalled the rumors about this tribe.

Similar to the fox clan, they are a relatively gentle and warlike intelligent race.

He is known for his exceptional ability to hide and his talent for finding rare and precious materials.

He did not immediately approach to disturb them, but slowed down, maintained a certain distance, and secretly followed them.

He wanted to see where these cloud rabbits gathered.

There might be an opportunity for friendly contact; after all, it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

Perhaps we can trade some mountain treasures with the Cloud Rabbit Clan.

Following those faintly visible white figures, Xu Feng traversed the bamboo forest for about half an hour before the view suddenly opened up before him.

At the end of the bamboo forest lies a secluded valley surrounded by mountains.

The valley is covered with lush grass and dotted with countless unknown and exotic wildflowers.

A crystal-clear stream flows gently by.

Most strikingly, countless cave entrances of varying sizes have been carved into the rock walls of the valley.

Many cloud rabbits were coming and going, making it resemble a sizable tribal settlement.

However, the moment Xu Feng stepped onto the edge of the valley, a sudden change occurred!

"Whoosh whoosh—!"

Dozens of white figures emerged like ghosts from the surrounding bushes, behind rocks, and even underground, instantly surrounding him!

These cloud rabbits were larger, with sharper eyes, claws and teeth that gleamed with a cold light, and their aura had clearly reached the level of beast generals.

Some of the leaders even exuded the aura of a low-level lord!

Although they are not huge.

However, their numbers were large and their movements were uniform, indicating that they were well-trained.

However, upon seeing Xu Feng, the Cloud Rabbits did not immediately launch an attack.

But those jewel-like red eyes were filled with intense vigilance and hostility.

The atmosphere instantly became tense!

Xu Feng immediately stopped and slowly raised his hands to indicate that he had no weapon.

He then conveyed the message with the calmest possible mental focus: "Gentlemen, I am Xu Feng, a spirit medium from the Fox Clan."

"I passed by this place with no ill intentions; I was simply curious and came to pay my respects."

However, being human is the greatest "original sin" in these mountains and forests inhabited by other races.

The cloud rabbits clearly did not believe his explanation, and the encirclement slowly shrank, their hostility only increasing.

Just then, Kongkong, who had been munching on bamboo shoots while perched on Xu Feng's shoulder, seemed to be disturbed by the tense atmosphere.

It raised its little head, curiously looking at the "white fur balls" around it, making soft, gurgling sounds in its throat.

It was this cry, along with the unique and pure aura emanating from Kongkong, that instantly attracted the attention of all the cloud rabbits!

Their gazes all shifted from Xu Feng and focused on Kong Kong.

The wariness in his eyes was quickly replaced by an incredulous shock, or even... awe!

"Gu?!"

"Coo coo?!"

The cloud rabbits stirred with a flurry of excited chatter and hurried conversation, appearing both panicked and agitated.

The encirclement froze for a moment.

Countless gazes swept back and forth between Kong Kong and Xu Feng, filled with disbelief and immense confusion.

How could a human have the offspring of a divine ape?

Moreover, judging from the way the little divine ape nestled in his arms, it was clear that it relied on and trusted him extremely!
This completely overturned their understanding!
The divine ape clan holds a transcendent status in the Qinling Mountains, almost like a legend.

It is a symbol of power, wisdom, and good fortune.

They are regarded as guardian spirits of the mountains and forests.

How could they allow their offspring to follow a human?
After a moment of deathly silence, the rabbits stirred.

soon.

An old cloud rabbit with a snow-white beard, a slightly hunched figure, but eyes full of wisdom, slowly walked forward, guarded by a group of strong cloud rabbits.

Unlike the other cloud rabbits, it was not hostile, but carefully examined Xu Feng.

His aura was also much deeper, clearly reaching the level of a high-ranking lord!

Elder Yuntu's gaze first swept solemnly over Xu Feng, and then fell on Kongkong.

When you sense the unmistakable pure bloodline aura belonging to the "Mountain-Moving Ape" clan, the guardian deities of the Qinling Mountains.

The rabbit elder's body visibly trembled.

Old Cloud Rabbit's gaze lingered on Kong Kong for a long time, a hint of reminiscence and awe flashing in his eyes.

Ultimately, it transforms into a complex understanding.

It raised its head, looked at Xu Feng, and surprisingly spoke in a slightly awkward but clearly discernible human language, its voice aged and steady:
"Human...you...the child on your shoulder is of the 'Mountain Lord's' bloodline?"

Its voice trembled, filled with awe.

Xu Feng was slightly shocked, not expecting that the old cloud rabbit could actually speak human language.

Moreover, he saw the key point at a glance.

He dared not be negligent, clasped his hands in a salute, and earnestly recounted how he had encountered the critically injured and dying divine ape and how the ape had entrusted him with its cubs.

The statement did not exaggerate, but merely stated the facts, while of course concealing the fact that he had obtained a great treasure.

A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.

He was also wary of these foreign races.

In fact, the moment he was surrounded, Xu Feng had already planned his escape route.

The ability to fly is an extremely powerful escape ability for any terrestrial creature, let alone a mentalist.

However, upon hearing of Xu Feng's spiritual transmission, all the Cloud Rabbits showed expressions of extreme shock and sorrow.

Has the mountain lord fallen?
The surrounding cloud rabbits also quieted down, watching the elder nervously.

The elderly Cloud Rabbit Elder took a deep breath.

The sigh was filled with mourning for the passing of the divine ape, but also with a sense of relief.

The hostility in its gaze toward Xu Feng vanished, replaced by a scrutinizing seriousness and a trust that Xu Feng could neither describe nor imagine.

In the eyes of these native species of the Qinling Mountains, the divine ape is a symbol of divine power.

Not just the strong.

It is also an auspicious omen, a manifestation of the will of this ancient mountain range, and a guardian that maintains balance.

"Great Divine Ape, your wisdom is as vast as the sea, your choice will not be wrong."

Old Cloud Rabbit spoke slowly.

"Since you have been entrusted with its mission, you have gained the approval of the spirits of the Qinling Mountains."

It turned around and let out a few short cries at the cloud rabbits around it, who were still somewhat doubtful, as if to explain and reassure them.

After a low commotion, although their gazes toward Xu Feng still held curiosity and a hint of wariness, the hostility and the surrounding posture gradually dissipated.

"Honorable guest," the old cloud rabbit turned to Xu Feng again and bowed slightly, "please follow me into the valley for a chat. The successor of the Divine Ape is a friend of our cloud rabbit clan."

You are also the first human to set foot here.

After saying that, it turned around and gestured for the surrounding cloud rabbits to make way.

Xu Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief, knowing that Kong Kong's identity had played a crucial role.

After a moment's hesitation, Xu Feng decided to go and take a look.

Holding the still bewildered and curious Kongkong in his arms, under the complex gazes of many Cloud Rabbits, he followed the elder toward the largest cave—the core territory of the Cloud Rabbit clan.

The rabbit territory was unusually lively and bustling today.

Many rabbits circled anxiously outside their core territory, waiting.

The core territory of the Cloud Rabbit Clan is not the dark cave one might imagine.

The interior space is spacious. The dome is inlaid with fluorite that emits a faint glow.

Neat niches were carved into the surrounding rock walls, containing dried herbs, minerals, and some beautifully woven vine tools.

Everything appeared orderly, exuding a sense of tranquility and peace.

The elder named Yunhao invited Xu Feng to sit down on a stone bench covered with soft hay.

Kongkong jumped down from Xu Feng's shoulder out of curiosity.

They hopped around on the ground covered with animal hides.

They are full of curiosity about everything around them.

Several young cloud rabbit cubs watched it timidly from afar, both frightened and curious.

However, the toddlers always manage to play together.

Soon the little monkey was playing with them.

Here, several other elders of the Cloud Rabbit clan, who appeared to be quite old and had a composed demeanor, were also waiting.

There were three people who arrived, each with a solemn demeanor and a different expression.

Some looked at him with scrutiny, while others could not hide their vigilance, their gazes shifting back and forth between Xu Feng and Kong Kong.

"May I ask how to address you, esteemed guest?"

"This junior is Xu Feng, from Human Race Base Nine."

Hsu Feng reintroduced himself and added to the introduction.

"At the same time, I am also a spirit medium recognized by the Fox Clan and the Tree Clan of Wumeng Mountain."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out the tokens of the two clans.

Elder Yunhao took the token, read it himself, nodded slightly, and then handed it to the other three elders for circulation.

After everyone saw it, their expressions showed more approval of Xu Feng.

To gain the approval of both the fox clan and the tree clan simultaneously, this person is indeed extraordinary.

This further confirms that the divine ape made the right choice.

Yun Song, as the representative, reiterated his initial acceptance of Xu Feng because of the divine ape.

His tone remained polite and courteous: "Honored guest, you have come with the bloodline of the mountain lord, and are a distinguished guest of my Cloud Rabbit clan."

The old man, Yun Songtian, is the Great Elder of our clan.

It was truly fate that Mr. Xu was entrusted with this task by the mountain lord.

"Besides escorting the mountain lord's bloodline, what other guidance do you have for me on this trip?"

Xu Feng knew the main topic was coming. He sat up straight and said frankly, "Elder Yunhao, fellow elders, to be honest..."

Besides the fact that I happened to meet Kongkong while escorting him, I also sincerely hope to establish friendly relations with the nobles.

I have had some interactions with the fox clan and the tree clan. We exchanged goods and resources and each got what we needed, and we all benefited a lot.

The nobles have long resided in the Qinling Mountains and are adept at finding rare and precious materials. Our human race also needs the unique medicinal herbs and minerals found in the Qinling Mountains.

Meanwhile, our people are skilled at forging weapons and armor, and manufacturing various medicines, food, clothing and daily necessities.

The tree race excels at cultivating spiritual fruits, while the fox race is adept at traveling and trading, organizing caravans.

If we can cooperate, perhaps all four tribes can benefit from it.

He directly expressed his intention to cooperate, using his past transactions with the fox and tree clans as a starting point to try and increase his persuasiveness.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, an old cloud rabbit sitting below Elder Yunhao, with sharp eyes and a clear claw mark on its left ear, snorted coldly, its voice filled with undisguised rejection: "How can we easily believe the words of humans?"

Hmph, exchanging goods and services? I'm afraid it's just inviting a wolf into the house!

You humans are cunning and greedy, and are always treacherous and disloyal!
Decades ago, how many homes did your B-sector military destroy with their artillery fire? How many of my compatriots did you kill?
We have not forgotten this blood debt!

This elder, named Yunfeng, was clearly a representative of the hardliners in the clan, with deep-seated hostility towards humans.

Although the other elders did not speak, their eyes revealed expressions of agreement or hesitation.

Compared to the more open fox clan, which has more contact with the outside world, and the tree clan, who are kind to him because of the "withering" crisis.

The Cloud Rabbit clan is clearly much more conservative and closed off; historical traumas make it difficult for them to easily trust humans.

Elder Yunhao frowned slightly, but did not immediately refute Yun Feng. Instead, he looked at Xu Feng and waited for his response.

As the Grand Elder, he needs to consider the survival and development of the clan, and cannot act solely based on personal likes and dislikes.

Xu Feng sighed inwardly, knowing that this was the biggest obstacle.

He did not attempt to defend or deny history, as that would only provoke greater resentment.

His tone was calm, but his gaze was firm: "What Elder Yunfeng said refers to the pain of past wars."

I cannot erase it, and I feel deep regret.

The hatred brought about by war cannot be resolved in a day.

But I am here today not on behalf of the military, nor of any other force.

This is solely my personal responsibility, and the responsibility I've pledged to Kongkong and Senior Divine Ape.

Elder Yunfeng wanted to say something more, but Elder Yunsong stopped him by raising his hand.

He looked at Xu Feng and said slowly, "Mr. Xu, you have also heard it. Trust is not an easy thing."

The fox clan is open-minded, the tree clan is aloof, but my cloud rabbit clan has lived deep in the mountains for generations, seeking nothing more than peace and tranquility.

Trade with other races, especially humans, is too risky.

Our current output is sufficient to be self-sufficient.

The need for external things is not urgent.

This is a euphemistic way of putting it, but the meaning is very clear:

We are conservative and don't trust you.

Besides, we don't really need your stuff.

Clearly, the Cloud Rabbit clan is not very enthusiastic about trading.

Xu Feng had anticipated this; faced with such deep-rooted prejudice and conservatism, direct incentives would have limited effect.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over all the elders present, finally settling on Kong Kong, who was curiously fiddling with a glowing mushroom.

Since it didn't work out this time, there's no need to persist.

First befriend them, then form an alliance; that's how we got to know the Tree Clan in the first place.

Xu Feng was easygoing and simply treated it as making friends.

His voice softened, carrying a strange persuasiveness: "The Divine Ape entrusted Kongkong to me, and I think it wasn't just hoping that I would protect its safety."

Perhaps it also contains another layer of expectation.

The old man may hope that this child can become a bridge, a connection.

To resolve the barriers between different ethnic groups in this mountain range caused by misunderstandings and past events.

Hatred only breeds more hatred.

But communication and understanding may open up new possibilities.

Xu Feng gently stroked Kong Kong's soft fur and carefully picked him up.

His gaze swept over the Yun Tu members, including Scarface Yunfeng, who held opposing views, and finally settled on Elder Yunsong's face:
"I am not asking the nobles to immediately and completely trust the human race, nor am I asking them to engage in large-scale trade."

I only hope that, with Lord Divine Ape's approval, I can gain a 'possibility' from the nobles.

There is a possibility that some tentative transactions might be conducted cautiously and on a small scale in the future.

Everything can be done slowly; the pace and scope can be determined by the nobility.

He spoke very skillfully.

Not only did they hand over the initiative in the transaction entirely to the Cloud Rabbit Clan, but they also bound themselves to the approval of the Divine Ape.

With this "stepping stone" and "reputation guarantee," coupled with his respectful, understanding, and patient attitude, he handed over the power of choice to the other party.

Even if the Cloud Rabbit clan was unwilling to trade, it would be difficult for them to refuse to befriend Xu Feng.

Silence fell over the cave.

These words made the elders fall into deep thought.

Elder Yunfeng's expression remained grim.

But looking at the innocent little divine ape, a symbol of good fortune and the mountain spirit's approval, he opened his mouth.

In the end, he did not voice any further strong opposition.

The divine ape held a very high position in their hearts.

Questioning Xu Feng is, in a sense, questioning the choice of the divine ape.

Elder Yunhao looked at Xu Feng, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, his voice much calmer: "Your words are not without reason."

The wisdom of the mountain lord is beyond our comprehension.

Since it has chosen to trust you, our clan is naturally willing to give you a certain degree of trust in return.

He then changed the subject, his tone becoming pragmatic: "However, this matter of cooperation and trade concerns the livelihood of the entire tribe, and we must be cautious."

Our people are by nature averse to fighting; all we seek is a peaceful and prosperous life, and the continuation of our lineage.

Human-made things may be good, but if they bring disaster upon us, then the losses outweigh the gains.

At the same time, he turned to Scarface and the other rabbits, his tone becoming serious: "Hatred can be remembered."

But we must not let it cloud our vision of the future.

For the sake of the survival of the community, some attempts may be worthwhile.

Scarface opened his mouth, but ultimately did not voice any further objections.

He just gave a heavy snort and turned his head away.

Seeing this, the other cloud rabbits who held opposing views had no choice but to remain silent.

Xu Feng understood that this was already the biggest concession the other party had made.

The Cloud Rabbit Clan clearly lacks a sense of security.

Judging from the strength of their clan, the Cloud Rabbit clan is not powerful.

It would be difficult for a single high-ranking lord to raise so many people in the Qinling Mountains, which are surrounded by powerful enemies.

He immediately stated, "Elder, rest assured, Xu Feng is by no means a short-sighted person."

Everything is up to the elders. We, the juniors, await good news.

I need to take the little one back and settle in first. I'll come visit again in a few days.

Yun Song stood up to see the guest out: "Alright, please make yourself at home, esteemed guest."

Xu Feng clasped his hands in farewell and then left, surrounded by a group of rabbits.

Although no deal was reached immediately upon first contact.

However, relying on the "golden signboard" of the divine ape, Xu Feng successfully pried open a tiny crack in the conservative and xenophobic Cloud Rabbit Clan.

Next, time and further action will be needed to gradually widen this gap.

He believed.

As long as sufficient sincerity and value are demonstrated.

Cooperation with the Cloud Rabbit Clan is not out of the question.

Xu Feng rubbed the little guy's head in his arms: "You're quite the lucky charm."

Kongkong didn't understand what a lucky general was, he just grinned at Xu Feng, then put his arm around Xu Feng's neck and waved to the Cloud Rabbit Clan behind him.

Many of the rabbits almost instinctively raised their hands in farewell.

This made Xu Feng even more curious about the Divine Ape Clan.

What kind of being could inspire such reverence in a mountain range of alien races?
Go back and ask Gu Cheng to see if there are any records of this in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Just as Xu Feng was having a serendipitous encounter, the three little ones were also making new progress.

"Glug glug glug glug—"

Within a secluded underground structure lies a deep, dark pool.

The deep pool seemed to have remained undisturbed for thousands of years, as calm as a piece of black jade.

However, at a certain moment...

A string of bubbles suddenly surged violently from below.

next moment.

"Wow!"

A large dog, about half a person's height, suddenly leaped out of the water and climbed up the edge of the dark pool.

On its back lay a "poor" white mouse, its fur completely soaked with water.

Meanwhile, the other "bird," which looked like a wilted eggplant, shook its feathers, and a ball of green flame suddenly appeared all over its body, drying out the moisture on its body and returning it to its fluffy state.

"Squeak squeak squeak!" Little White squeaked at Ah Kun in dissatisfaction.

Ah Kun immediately flapped his wings, unleashing a burst of pure fire that enveloped Little White.

Little White cried out in surprise and suddenly took off from the spot.

But the snake grabbed it in its mouth and dragged it away from the fireball.

"Roar!" After putting down the frightened Little White, Ah Snake growled at Ah Kun.

Ah Kun then realized that he had almost burned all of Little White's feathers. He immediately shook his feathers in embarrassment and then spat out a small ball of blue fire.

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief. He and Ah She circled around in front of the fireball and were dried by the raging flames.

"Roar!"

Then, Ah She turned and looked around at the surroundings of the cold pool, leading the two beasts deeper into the pool.

Flames erupted from Ah Kun's body, illuminating the surroundings with a bluish light, like a lamp.

The three beasts had only been gone for a short while.

A gust of wind suddenly blew into the cave.

"call!"

The blue flames on Ah Kun's body instantly went out.

Ah Kun was immediately startled and dodged onto Ah She's head.

Evil wind!

"Roar!!"

The snake suddenly shrank in size and turned to run away.

"thump!"

"Pfft!"

"Plop, plop, plop—"

The three beasts darted back to the edge of the black pool and jumped in instantly.

slipped.

It wasn't until they escaped through the tunnel dug from the bottom of the deep pool that Ah Kun suddenly realized what was going on.

They didn't even see where the evil wind came from or what caused it.

"Choo Choo Choo!"

It was immediately speechless and angry, so it jumped onto the snake's head and started pecking at it.

Stupid snake!
All they do is run away!

Ah She knew he had been a bit cowardly, so he immediately shrank his neck and growled, asking if he wanted to explore further.

The three kids put their heads together and decided to redeem themselves this time, at least to find out what was here!
"Roar!"

After letting out a low growl, Ah She was the first to burrow into the ground.

Ah Kun and Xiao Bai followed closely behind, nervously groping their way towards the black pool once more.
