"I'll come down and play with you once I'm full!" Little Fatty rubbed his eyes with one hand and slapped the approaching snake mouth with the other.
The giant snake did not answer. It only slowly shifted its body, coiling the two of them in the middle and using its long body to form an unbreakable cage.
"I'm hungry!" Little Fatty had never imagined there would actually be something that would stop him from eating, and he shouted angrily.
Zhang Xiaofan warily shielded him behind his back and looked up at the enormous snake head slowly lowering from above.
The giant snake remained completely unmoved, only staring coldly at the two people it had trapped. This was its newly acquired toy. What if they ran off? And they were humans who could communicate with it, too. Interesting!
Little Fatty might truly have been starving. Seeing that the giant snake was unwilling to let them pass, and noticing a vicious wound right on the snake's body before him, he snatched the Fire Poker straight from Zhang Xiaofan's hand and jabbed it in with all his strength.
The instant it touched flesh and blood, the Bloodthirsty Orb's ferocity erupted, and it began devouring blood essence madly. The giant snake felt the blood essence in its body draining away rapidly, and in panic it loosened its coils and started rolling around.
It finally knew what that earlier trace of familiar aura had been.
It was the magic treasure of a fellow from several hundred years ago, able to suck blood essence, viciously sinister.
Watching its blood essence keep draining away, the giant snake finally grew afraid.
"Let me go! I'll let you leave!"
Hearing the giant snake beg for mercy, Little Fatty angrily signaled for Zhang Xiaofan to recall the Fire Poker.
