137 A Savage Betrayal

I could feel the powerful vitality emanating from the tree, although it could not take root in my purple-gold ring. It would survive for a time. I would have to find a place to plant it before it perished.

I gathered all the corpses of the slain Titanoboas and didn't see any sign of Shi Da around the tree. He wasn't within the snake head's belly, so I headed back to the cave to see how Shi Da survived his melee with the Titanoboa.

Chubs had a new respect for me after witnessing the battle, of course the cowardly turtle didn't participate. Even though he was a Viscount, he was only good for ferrying this young lord around the garden.

As soon as I got back to the cave, I noticed Shi Da secluded within his room with countless injuries. His arrogant pride had caused him to bite off more than he could chew engaging the Viscount Titanoboa.
