The siblings discuss how they're going to attack the mountain man. They don't want to be punished for trying to stop them, they just want to live in the world. They're not going to stop until they've eaten their fill of food. The white snake says he can't eat them because he has "course skin" and "taste terrible" . He wants to give the box to dao mo so he can take it to him. The siblings decide to change their position so they can get closer to the mountain.
