"Tap, tap, tap!"
Footsteps sounded as Richard walked by.
He approached a fallen, towering soldier, reached out to pull him up, and then headed toward the hole continuously spawning snakes.
"Hiss, hiss!"
Another Red Snake tried to crawl out, Richard waved his hand, sending forth an Air Missile that knocked the snake back into the hole. With another wave of his hand, Flames sprouted in his palm and he hurled it into the hole.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The thrown Flames blazed fiercely inside the hole, rapidly emitting a thick burnt smell, and soon there was no movement inside the hole.
Richard glanced at the many soldiers and said, "Don't be afraid, keep digging!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers, emboldened, resumed their excavation.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In short order, the ground was lowered by about half a meter, revealing a huge snake den. Inside, nearly a hundred snakes were entwined, but, affected by the earlier Flames, they had all turned into charred corpses.
