"Geeee…" The mutated snaked suddenly gave a weird scream . Its scream wasn't loud, but was very shrill . In the meantime, its body twisted because of the pain .
Lin Qiao moved away from it once her attack worked .
"Roarrrr…" The zombie dog didn't let go of the king cobra . It had bitten into the snake's body, but failed to tear off a piece . On the contrary, it got coiled by the snake pretty tightly when the latter struggled in pain .
Lin Qiao looked at the zombie dog which was disabled from moving in just the first round .
'You're a level-five zombie dog . How can you lose the fight so quickly? Don't you know how to hide? Was your brain damaged when you turned into a zombie dog from a dead dog?' she thought .
Just when she thought that the zombie dog would be distorted by the king cobra, she suddenly saw a red light sparkle in the dog's mouth . As the red light grew brighter and brighter, the king cobra quickly relaxed its grip on the dog and moved away, as if it got burned .
Lin Qiao looked closely, then figured out what happened . Just now, the king cobra exposed its wounds to the zombie dog when it tried to coil the latter tightly . As a result, the zombie dog opened its mouth to release a fire, and gave it a greater pain that made it quickly uncoil itself from the dog .
'The dog is a strong fighter,' Lin Qiao thought .
Realizing that the dog was able to fight the snake for a while, Lin Qiao stood aside and watched without doing anything else .
The dog had a couple of rib bones squeezed broken by the king cobra, but it didn't really mind, as those broken ribs could hardly affect it .

It immediately followed the king cobra and pounced on it .
The zombie dog was aware that the king cobra could barely hurt it, so it began attacking it crazily without putting up any defense .
Lin Qiao stood beside the pit, watching the dog chase and bite the snake . The dog was occasionally sent flying away by the snake's tail, but it soon sprung up and charged again .
After being bitten by a few times, the snake was frightened of the dog .
Those bite wounds weren't lethal to the snake, but they hurt like hell . The snake started trying to get out of the pit . It didn't dare to go back into those holes, as Lin Qiao's black mist still lingered in there .
Earlier on when it wasn't wounded, its scales were corroded by the dark mist . But now, as it was covered in wounds, the black mist would directly drill its wounds and burn its blood and flesh .
The snake didn't know about all that clearly, but it was subconsciously aware that going in those holes would be even more dangerous .
Therefore, it chose to run toward the outside .
However, the zombie dog followed closely behind . The dog bit on its tail and back to drag it down, and never gave it one chance to run . The zombie dog was swift and nimble . It hopped around to chase the king cobra without missing any chance to give it a bite .
So, the king cobra was suffering pain, itch, panic, and helplessness . It darted all over the pit; it tried to get out, but ended up being dragged back down; it turned back to bite the zombie dog, yet the latter dodged . Its attack failed to even land on the dog's body .

Soon, the king cobra was exhausted . It couldn't even crawl as quickly as it used to, and it was no longer able to dodge nimbly . However, the zombie dog was still attacking it energetically .
After standing by the pit and watching for half an hour, Lin Qiao finally witnessed the end of this fight .
The giant snake lay weakly in the pit, curled up . It exposed its back which was the strongest part of its body in the air, with its head and stomach buried inside . No matter how violently the zombie dog attacked, it wouldn't fight back . It had given up on resisting .
Lin Qiao jumped into the pit and gave the zombie dog which wouldn't relax its bite on the snake a gentle kick .
"Alright, get up . Don't you see that it's already too weak to fight back?"
"Roar…" The zombie dog released the snake reluctantly, then sat down and raised its head to look at Lin Qiao .
'I didn't get to eat any meat yet!'
Its teeth were sharp enough to pierce through the snake's scales, but it didn't manage to tear off a single piece of snake meat . That made it a little upset .
Lin Qiao popped her claws and said, "Do you want some?"
The zombie dog's claws and teeth couldn't cut the snake open, but Lin Qiao's claws could .
Seeing her claws, the zombie dog's ink-dark eyes glowed, fixed on her with anticipation .

Lin Qiao took two small steps backward, then raised her claws and prepared to swing her arm at the giant snake . But suddenly, she saw the snake's eyes through a small slit between its coiled body .
Despair, sadness, fear, anger… A mixed emotion was expressed from those eyes .
Lin Qiao was stunned slightly, and her arm froze in the air .
Those eyes told her that the snake did nothing wrong . Why would she kill it? It was staying in its underground nest without offending anyone . Why would it be killed .
'Eh?'
Lin Qiao was surprised . Earlier, the snake confronted her calmly without showing any emotion; but now, she suddenly found out that it actually had feelings .
It understood that it was going to die . It wasn't frenzied by despair, but curled up to try and protect itself with its last strength .
The snake that Lin Qiao caught the last time was frenzied in the beginning .
Seeing the snake's sad and despairing eyes, Lin Qiao couldn't help but get soft-hearted .
She dropped her arm and walked to the snake, then reached out a hand and pressed her palm on the giant snake's broken skin .
The snake flinched, but didn't try to dodge .
Once Lin Qiao touched its body, she was overwhelmed by sadness . She stayed silent for five or six seconds, then took her hand back .
Why did she fell that she was bullying a weak being? Why was she suffering that guilt now? Was it because this snake knew how to act pitifully?
She took two steps backward . The zombie dog looked at her confusedly .
'Aren't you going to cut the meat?' it wondered .
Lin Qiao lowered her head and said to the zombie dog, "We're not going to eat it . It's already a poor thing, as we suddenly injured it so badly . If we ate it, it'd be even more pitiful . "
'What does pitiful mean?' The zombie dog looked at her with confusion .
Lin Qiao felt quite speechless about the fact that she was talking to a dead dog about that . She thought for a second, then picked up the vine to drag the dog out of the pit . Meanwhile, she reached an arm backward .
The black mist which had been lingering in those small holes was taken back by her . Streams of mist flowed out of those small holes and into Lin Qiao's palm .
Seeing Lin Qiao step back, the snake's rhombic eyes showed confusion as well .
Lin Qiao gave up on killing the snake, but the zombie dog refused to accept it as a result .
"Awooo…" It quickly stood up and lowered its head while uttering deep growls toward the snake . Meanwhile, it kicked its limbs backward, sending the sand and earth behind .
