[When the Crow discovered them, a strange beast was about to swallow the "Little Snake" whole.]
["Stop, you can't eat!" The Crow suddenly flapped its wings, swiftly fanning the beast into unconsciousness.]
[The Crow scolded the beast, then landed beside the little snake with a kind expression: "Little one, don't be afraid. If you're bullied, just call for your big brother."]
[Although he knew the little snake couldn't understand, he still enjoyed speaking human language, a Dharma Gate he realized during the three hundred years of teaching "Xixi," enabling him to cleverly construct a vocal organ in his throat.]
[The little snake lowered its head, gazed at its beautiful scales with distress, then declared its submission to this awe-inspiring Divine Bird.]
[A day later, the beast slowly awoke, and at once saw the Divine Bird coldly staring at it, causing it to shiver with fear and flee in panic.]
