I'm single, any birds interested?
How did he know he was outside? Of course because the hot glaring sun. After slithering a little, his body touch something, then he coiling it with his 'snake form' (more like wiggling stick) . After repeatedly harassing it, he finally guessed what is it.
' Oh...what is this? It feel like grass? Yeah this definitely something like grass...'
' I think the [symbiote parasite] description say i can possess any living being that carbon base... I wonder how non-carbon base being work... It's magic after all?... Ah... I'm getting outside of the topic... Hmm... Can i check compatibility?...'
The moment he think compatibility, a small blue panel appeared in his mind.

Odinary Green Grass
Compatibility: 1.3%

' Yeah grass everywhere, even if it other universe, it's really amazing... The compatibility is only 1%? So low... Or maybe because it is just grass?... Let try another one...'
___________________
Odinary Green Grass
Compatibility: 1.9%
___________________
' 1.9%?... At least it is better than the previous grass... Now that I have confirm that every grass has different compatibility with me, there must be one that suitable for me... Wait a minute... Why must I parasitize a grass? At least it must have eyes and legs...'
'Status!...I still have 15 hours...alright, anything is fine as long as i can live, tentacles come forward!...'
The 'black snake' then formed tendrils all around his body to touch everything close to him. When having fun experiment with his body earlier, he already tried countless form, this is one of his product.

Crick... Crick... Crick
' Oh? This is the first animal sound that i hear besides leaves rustling... Is it cricket? Or grasshopper? I can't tell... Ah... I can hear?... How magical... Now thinking about hearing, it's remind me that symbiote venom can't stand ultrasound, right? Do i have ability to hear high frequency?... '
' No, this is not the time to think about that! Whatever it is grasshoppe or cricket, either of it has eyes and legs! It'll be easier once I had it... '
The 'black snake' slowly let go of the grass, and slithered toward the sound. But the time he got closer to it, the insect went quiet. He instantly realised a problem.
'How to catch it? Jump?... Alright lets try it... when i jump I'll extend my body just like open cast net...1...2...3!'
He already spent 8 hours playing with the liquid body so he already know how much force to use but unknown because of anxious or excited, he expend more forced then he aspect.
Shuu~ Splatter!
' Eh? A wall? No, it's a little different... Well, whatever it is wall or not I just need to think compatibility to confirm it...'

Common Oak Tree

'Common Oak Tree?... Compatibility 79.8%!... I'll have a chance of successfully parasitizing it! But... Tree don't have eyes, its can't even move... Damn...'
Caught in a dilemma, he didn't know what to do. While he want to find another possible host, he definitely gonna lost his way without his vision, if he can't find any suitable host then that the end for him. After 5 minutes of mental war, he finally chose the tree.
' My main goal now is to survive, and i don't have that much time left... If i still want to be picky, I really will die here... I don't even know that it will success or not... Actually, it's may not be that bad, I can wait for another animal to come closer then possess it if our compatible high enough... If I'm in luck maybe I can even get a bird...'
After comfort himself for a while, he no longer hesitated.
'Then I'll chose you, lucky tree! [Body Possession], active!...'
His black liquid body that attached to the trunk slipped through the small gaps on the wood magically as if he defying physical logic.
