Han Sen stared at the shadow in the tree with shock .
After his vision focused to see it clearly, he noticed it was a slender woman . She looked light and brisk, as her garments waved in a subterranean breeze .
The woman was incredibly beautiful, so much so, she appeared angelic . She sat on the branch of the tree without shoes, like an art piece .
"Is that a spirit or a humanoid creature?" Han Sen wondered, as he was somehow unable to detect the power within her .
As Han Sen observed her, the woman turned her head to look at him . Then, she smiled .
Han Sen was still a distance away from the Mother Tree, but for the woman to notice him and smile made him feel good . He was still a noticeable fella .
"The consequence of being so handsome . . . " Han Sen ran his fingers through his hair and then patted down his clothes . He bared his teeth to present what he believed to be a charismatic smile .

Of course, he still knew he should exercise caution . He remained vigilant, beneath his awkward facade of the suave explorer he was putting on . She was the only one that dared approach the tree, let alone sit on it . It was a clear indicator of how powerful she might have been .
The lady looked surprised when she saw Han Sen smile in response .
"Do you know her?" Queen asked, as she looked in the direction of that woman .
Han Sen shook his head, saying, "Not at all . I don't even know if she is a spirit, humanoid creature, or an actual human . She seems pleasant enough, though . "
Queen wished to continue the dialogue and say something more, but all of a sudden, a large noise sounded . The red toads began to croak at a deafening volume, like an amphibian choir . The red toad up front, the king, had a frighteningly large belly, and when it croaked, it was like thunder .
The toad king approached the tree, while everything else in the vicinity did nothing and just watched .
The toad king was looking at the lady in the branches, seemingly making the noise towards her . Then, it inflated its vocal sac .
The lady saw it and smiled, then she pulled a white flute from out of nowhere .

She placed her lips on the flute and began to play . A strange and harmonic tune gently graced the cavern .
Han Sen was shocked . He thought the lady possessed sonic powers .
Han Sen quickly used his dongxuan aura to hide the senses of as many of the creatures in the vicinity as he could .
Han Sen was so surprised, for as she played, the notes of her melody appeared physical . He never thought music could literally be seen . The notes came out of her flute, rose, then fell gracefully down like feathers .
Queen was just as shocked as Han Sen, to see this woman literally blow notes out of her flute .
And the surprise became only greater when the notes touched the ground . They did not fade away . Instead, they remained . And then, their shapes twirled and twisted into that of a snake . After that, the snake slithered over towards the toads .
A scary fight began . And as the snake battled with the toad king, it showed no weakness . It wasn't going to lose to the red croaker .

As they fought, the red toad spat out crimson blades towards the snake in an attempt to slice it up . But the snake was too quick and cunning for such simplistic techniques, as it was able to curl to deflect and roll to evade .
The two were fighting fiercely, as all the other creatures in the vicinity looked on without care .
Han Sen was shocked . Even a single note from that flute was capable of beating a super creature .
He was made quickly aware the woman was not someone to be trifled with . As far as he was concerned, she was the master of all sonic powers; whoever—or whatever—she was .
"I can't believe sonic powers can be used in such a fashion . " Queen was in utter disbelief .
As the two creatures fought, they both did combat with care and grace . Neither of them wanted to accidentally deal damage to the tree .
The red lights the toad cast were useless, and nothing it could do damaged the snake . The snake eventually wrapped itself around the toad to choke it, and then, with its mouth wide open, sought to swallow the wretch .
Pang!
But as this occurred, the vocal sac of the toad exploded, and a stinky fluid drenched the snake . Evidently, it was a corrosive substance, and the snake melted into nothing .
When the sac exploded, though, the toad's body looked slumped and knackered . It may have defeated the snake, but it was at a great expense of strength and effort . Not wanting to provoke the lady anymore, it slinked back closer to its toad friends .
Suddenly, a new foe emerged from a nearby crevice . It looked very powerful .
Han Sen looked at it, and he was in awe of its yellow hair, big eyes, and long tail . It looked like a squirrel, but it was bigger than a tiger .
It shone with a gold light, and it ran with an incredibly quick pace . The rock rats in its path could not do anything and were gruesomely squished underfoot before they even knew what was happening .
The rat king took notice of this and appeared to be quite angry at the act . But it remained still and did not do anything in response .
The big-eyed fiend ran up to the tree and made a barking noise at the lady .
The lady looked moody and annoyed by the second intrusion, so she summoned a lute . She held it softly and strummed a magical melody, where each note came together to build a big, golden bird .
