Zeke continued, “It felt like someone was watching us, but it wasn't a particularly strong feeling. But if you didn't sense anything... Maybe I misread it.”
They stopped dwelling on it and continued their way.
The tiny snake that was spying on Zeke hurried its way until it came to a spotted giant python known as Corra.
The tiny snake hissed at Corra and informed the latter about the scene it observed.
Once Corra heard its subordinate's report, it grinned. “Hmph! Ignorant fools. I can't believe they're heading toward the primeval forest to seek King of Dragons. They're courting death! I have to inform Theos about this as quickly as possible.”
Corra then patted the tiny snake's head with its tail and praised, “Good job, little one. You'll get two eggs for this. This is no ordinary egg—this is the egg of a firetail bird. Once you consume a firetail bird's egg, your power will soon be upgraded. Work hard for me, and you'll soon become a wyrm like me.”
The tiny snake nodded vigorously, thanking Corra.
With that said, Corra shrunk and turned into an average-sized spotted snake before soaring into the air by launching itself with its tail.
After ten minutes of flying, Corra found Theos and landed in his arms.
Theos was on his way to Camp South to meet Zeke when Corra appeared.
He halted in his tracks and asked, “Corra, why have you come to me?”
Corra quickly asked, “Lord Theos, are you heading to Camp South to look for Zeke?”
Theos nodded. “Indeed. I'd like to find out for myself how powerful Zeke is to be bold enough to do as he pleases on my island.”
Corra chuckled. “Lord Theos, there's no need for you to head to Camp South anymore. Zeke isn't there at the moment.”
Theos knitted his brows. “He's not at Camp South? Then where has he gone to?”
“Lord Theos, I can tell you where he is, but can you promise me something?”
A tinge of fury covered Theos' eyes. “Why... Are you trying to negotiate with me?”
