The World of Beasts: Snake, I am the mother of all dragons

Xia Han's voice echoed in the cave with a hint of determination.

When Collard heard what the other party said, his movements suddenly stopped. He slowly turned his head and looked at Xia Han, with complex emotions intertwined in his eyes.

He did have an inexplicable feeling for Xia Han, especially during his recent recuperation period when he was once in a coma. Thanks to Xia Han's care, the other's presence was like a faint but unique light, illuminating his lonely and dark inner world.

However, when life and death were at stake, his desire for life became even stronger.

Korol stared at Xia Han and uttered a low and hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll give you this chance. If you want to save him, there's only one way. Help me lure other people here. Otherwise, I'll kill him now and won't let you live."

Korol's tone was cold and ruthless, as if he was stating an unchangeable fact.

Xia Han's body trembled slightly, and her heart was in extreme struggle.

On one side is the life of the wild animal that cares so much about him, and on the other side is the evil act that goes against his conscience.

"Xia, Xia Han, don't agree to him, he lied to you... Ugh!"

"Ahh, no, Coral!"

Xia Han witnessed with her own eyes as Collard mercilessly removed Xingye's jaw and cut the tendons of his hands and feet. The next step was to cut his throat. She couldn't bear to look at Xingye's painful and terrified eyes.

"Stop, I promise, isn't that enough? Don't kill him, please."

She finally lowered her head helplessly, tears welling up in her eyes, and she had no choice but to compromise.

In order to temporarily save their lives, she had to embark on this guilt-filled path, and her fate was pushed into an even darker abyss at this moment.

"Very good, Xia Han, you made the right choice."

Collard narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a creepy tenderness in his voice. His sinful hand slowly reached out to Xia Han, whose body was like a leaf swaying helplessly in the wind.

The cold touch on her head made her scalp numb. Collard's fingers began to shuttle through her hair, and every touch made a chill surge deep in Xia Han's soul.

Shortly after.

A series of painful cries rang out in the cave, followed by a creepy chewing sound. Xia Han's pupils gradually became numb. At Korol's urging, he put on a fake smile of fear on his face and greeted the passing male beasts.

Xingye, who was not far away, witnessed all this with his own eyes. His eye sockets almost burst, and his eyes were full of anger and disbelief.

He watched helplessly as his people were lured into the cave one after another and became Korol's meal. His body trembled violently with anger, his hands clenched into fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, and blood flowed.

Xingye's heart was filled with self-blame and regret. He kept scolding himself in his heart: "It's all my fault for being so careless. I let my people fall into such a desperate situation and let them die unjustly."

He wanted to rush forward to stop all this, but the poison in his body had already penetrated into his bones and was incurable. Collard had never intended to let him go from the beginning, but only wanted to use Xia Han to gain more convenience.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes. Looking at the tragic scenes of his tribesmen who died with their eyes open, his soul seemed to be gnawing at by endless pain.

"Look, if you obey, there will be no pain. We can get along well."

Collard's words were like a sharp blade, cutting into Xia Han's psychological defenses bit by bit, and his cold palm gently wiped away the blood that splashed on Xia Han.

"No, no, it's not like that." Xia Han was screaming and struggling in her heart. She wanted to resist, but was imprisoned by deep fear.

Collard seemed to enjoy the feeling of control. He increased the strength of his hands, as if he was declaring his sovereignty, and as if he was further testing Xia Han's bottom line.

"As long as you continue to cooperate like this, I will treat you well."

His words were like heavy hammers, hitting Xia Han's already shaky mental defenses hard, as if she would never be able to escape the control of the devil Korol.

"I still need more people. Go ahead, Xia Han. I believe in you."

Collard kissed the tears sliding down Xia Han's cheeks, and the salty fear made him happy.

On the other side, the Anshan brothers, who were approaching here, complained as they walked.

"Really? Captain Xingye is so slow to come home. The tribe leader and the others are getting anxious."

"Stop talking nonsense. The contract-making ceremony is about to begin tonight. Captain Xingye has been busy in the construction team these days. How can he have time to clean up?" Anshan bluntly criticized his younger brother's outspoken nature.

"Oh, I get it. Brother just loves to nag. Blame me for not inviting Sister Luoluo. I'll apologize to you, okay?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Anshan's face flushed. The two of them were chasing and playing when they just arrived not far from Xingye's new home. They noticed the figure outside the cave and stopped what they were doing.

"Xia Han? What are you doing here?" An Ming was surprised to meet him in this place, in front of Captain Xingye's cave.

"Anshan, Anming, are you here to look for Xingye? He is inside the house." Xia Han tried his best to force out a flattering smile, but that smile, which was uglier than crying, really made An Ming feel blocked in his heart, as if he had been pricked by a toilet peg.

"No, what are you doing at Captain Xingye's house? The Bonding Ceremony is almost here, and you're not going to look for Mo Nie? Are you still thinking about Captain Xingye?"

"An Ming!" An Shan always felt that there was something wrong with Xia Han's expression, and there was an inexplicable deadness in his eyes.

"Captain Xingye, are you there?" An Ming tried to call out loudly, but unfortunately there was no response from inside the cave. Due to the blocking of the door, An Ming wanted to go forward but An Shan held his shoulder.

His intuition told him that something was very wrong, and it felt like the last time he was ambushed by a stray beast.

"Xia Han, are you sure Captain Xingye is in there?" Anshan asked angrily.

"Brother, what's the matter? Captain Xingye is not at home?" An Ming turned his head in confusion, and noticed An Shan's alert look, which made him swallow his saliva.

Without waiting for Xia Han to answer, Korol walked out arrogantly, holding a half-dead orc in his hand. It was the Xingye that the Anshan brothers were talking about.

"Captain Xingye?" An Ming couldn't believe the horrifying scene before him.

When Xingye, whose face was covered in blood, noticed the newcomer, his weak eyes hinted at the other party to run away. Anshan reacted quickly, threw his brother back, and faced the challenge head-on, "Run, Anming, go and sound the alarm!"

"Oh, you overestimated your own abilities!"

Korol's huge and powerful snake tail was like a speeding black lightning, sweeping towards the two brothers who discovered his secret with a whistling sound.
