After they left, Lin Wu sat on the topmost step, watching the snake creature, considering what to do next.
Surely the creature didn't intend to keep her here forever?
If that were the case... she would rather forsake the clue in her tattoo than not fight back. Since the creature would not harm her, her chances of success should be high.
As she pondered, Lin Wu suddenly noticed—the snake creature seemed to have stopped bleeding and was starting to recover?
She fixed her gaze on the creature and, as she became sure that she wasn't mistaken, sat up straight. Eventually, she cautiously moved closer until she squatted in front of it and gently poked its head with her finger.
The snake creature opened its eyes, which were clearer than the bloodied eyes that had stared at Lin Wu before.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Wu gestured, "Do you live here? Then do you know how to get out?"
The snake creature tilted its head.
