Snake's Nest 1

The girl stepped slowly closer, the light of the torch carried by Morgan shone on her face, the little face shone like the moon, her eyes were clear as glass, looked at Thomas with a scornful look, her lips curled into a wide grin, she took Thomas's hand to her in her arms.

"Aha … you're pretty cute, so let's go, my son."

Iris glared in disbelief, how could this little girl lift a child who was almost the same height as herself?

Iris shook her head, she couldn't let that happen, Thomas was hers.

Iris was different from Morgan, the werewolf laughed loudly, he patted the wall of the underground cave hard.

"Just take it … ha … haha … ha … trouble the kid, you know!"

Morgan wiped the tears from his eyes from laughing too much, Iris beside him snorted and nudged his waist. "Ouch!"

Thomas let go of the hug slowly, he couldn't see who was in front of him, but he could feel how cold his body was like he was embracing ice, making his body shiver.

"Sorry, but I'm twenty-five years old," Thomas said innocently, the little girl chuckling, snakes under their feet creeping up, writhing, and hissing furiously.

"So just my son," said the little girl again, her tongue sticking out, revealing a long and forked tongue just like a snake under it, licking her cheeks and moving her hands to cover both Thomas's ears.

"What do you want to do?!" Iris screamed frantically, snakes hissed, gaping at her, Iris yelped backward followed by Morgan, causing the distance between Thomas to widen.

The little girl whispered into Thomas' ear while looking at Iris with a mocking face.

"Tommy!" Iris shouted again, she saw Thomas nod, the two of them joined hands and walked away.

"I'll take it first, you guys just play with my other children!" The little girl said cheerfully, her soft voice echoing, she pulled Thomas deeper and deeper into the cave.

"Kid, are you deaf?! Heh ... snake girl, don't take her lightly, he's a hassle!" Morgan also shouted in annoyance, he snorted, the snakes in front of him gathered together, forming a large white snake.

"Iris, we have to beat her fast, it could be bad if Thomas becomes her son," Morgan said, glancing at Iris behind him.

Iris rolled her eyes in exasperation, earlier she heard Morgan mocking Thomas, now her attitude is changing rapidly, Morgan is a tsundere wolf type.

Iris took out her magic bottle, her heart was pounding anxiously, she should have slipped the spider-shaped Litzy on Thomas's head. She was worried, the power of an Elf is not kidding.

"BRAK!!"

The huge snake in front of them lunged at Morgan with its teeth, pecking it hard, Morgan jumped and dodged, changing its shape in an instant. The wolf bit the back of the snake's head fiercely.

"CRACK ... CRACK ...."

Iris squealed softly, the large snake's tail wagging at her, occasionally shaking her head, repelling Morgan's bite.

"Scanisandentios!"

Tree roots appeared and entangled the snake tightly, but it did not last long, the snake easily wriggled and crushed the roots that were wrapped around it, he propped his head against the ceiling of the cave, making Morgan couldn't help but be thrown and fell to the ground.

"BRUGH!"

"Morgan?!" Iris screamed in concern, she jumped up and cast a spell on Litzy, her pet turned into a black snake, trying to twist back.

"I'm fine," said Morgan, he was back in his human form, his lips bleeding, purple bruises on his shoulder.

It lunged at the white snake that Litzy was coiling around, tearing it apart with its sharp claws. The snake hissed, opening its mouth wide, intending to eat Morgan.

Iris cast the spell again, spawning thorny roots and coiling around the snake, animal shapeshifting magic somehow doesn't work in this place, it can only turn the plants into bigger ones.

The white snake struggled, wagging its tail against the cave wall, making rocks and earth fall from above, its thick skin was pierced by thorns, Morgan quickly bit the white snake's neck with his wolf form, tearing it with his sharp teeth, making a wide gaping wound.

Iris gulped, snake blood splattered everywhere, she chanted the incantation again, strengthening her thorny roots.

"Morgan!" Iris cried out as Morgan in his wolf form howled.

The white snake didn't give up, violently jerking the thorny root to shreds, overpowering Litzy's coils and he turned and wrapped he tail around the wolf's body.

"Argh!"

Morgan tore again, this time fiercely, half of his body already wrapped in snakes.

Iris picked up the thorny roots that ran under her feet, she jumped at the snake's head, thrusting it hard while screaming.

"Feel this damn snake!"

The white snake hissed loudly, its coils loosened, its eyes were pierced by Iris with thorns, sending blood spurting out.

Morgan didn't waste this opportunity, he lunged and tore roughly, this time the snake's head was cut off and fell to the ground.

Iris jumped away and fell to the ground, gasping for breath, sweat pouring down her body, she breathed a sigh of relief as the white snake collapsed and fell to the ground, motionless.

Morgan turned into a human, his body covered in snake blood, he casually picked up his shirt on the ground and put it on.

"Come on, we have to hurry."

Iris nodded, she saw Morgan's wet hair dripping down his shirt, if only it was water, then this idiot wolf would look cool, too bad it was blood.

The torch-lit up again after being dumped by Morgan on the ground, they jumped over the carcass of the white snake and entered following in the footsteps of Thomas and the little girl.

This underground cave is like a snake's nest, a long tunnel, going down below, very smooth and not rocky, only hard ground, every time they go down, the air gets colder as if they are walking on ice.

"Tommy!" Iris screamed, there was no response at all, only the echo of her voice could be heard.

"What is that snake girl doing?!"

Morgan sighed harshly, the dying boy was getting more and more troublesome, he was cursed and blind again.

When did he die?

Iris ignores Morgan's sullen face, too lazy to take in the werewolf's mood, she stares ahead, but a second later she sighs, again only a long hallway they meet.

"Morgan, what's wrong?" Iris glanced back, where Morgan stopped.

"Over here," Morgan said, his hands pressed against the wall, footsteps ringing in his ears. "You hear?"

Iris just stared at Morgan, tilting her head, she squealed. "Am I a werewolf? My ears aren't like yours, you idiot!"

Morgan chuckled, he handed the torch to Iris's hand, then without further ado, he slammed his fist against the wall, making a huge hole instantly.

Iris immediately aimed her torch into the hole, the firelight shone through the darkroom, her eyes widened in shock, there were hundreds of large eggs scattered about.

Morgan entered carefully, followed by Iris, part of the eggshell cracked and cracked, revealing baby snakes, moving freely around them.

"Morgan!" Iris cried out in disgust, the slime from the egg pooled on the ground, right on her foot, she hurriedly snuggled closer. "Is he going to turn Thomas into a snake?" Iris asked anxiously.

"No way, he's human." Morgan denied it while rolling his eyes, he was stunned when he saw a man sitting on a rock while stroking a large egg.

The man felt Morgan's gaze, his brow furrowed. "What are you guys doing in my nest?"
