"Forget all that. I reckon that final impalement from Tantai Ling's trident probably finished off the Winged Serpent. She left without picking up the Winged Serpent's corpse, which means that its corpse now belongs to us!" A glint of greed flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes. They did not know what kind of mystical beast that Winged Serpent was but to be able to battle Tantai Ling, it should be quite a powerful beast.
After the Winged Serpent was struck by the trident, it fell onto a spot on the ground where it was blocked by the buildings. In addition to the dim nightlight, the trio of Zhou Yan could not see it at all and they thought that the Winged Serpent's corpse was still in the town.
Driven by greed, the three men sneaked back into the town.
