Refreshing Victory
Trapping the snake had been easier than I thought, but something was wrong. The snake began to strike the rocks with increasing force. Each blow was harder and stronger than the last. If it continued like this, it would not only collapse the rocks but also break free.
I realized that I had to get away from there first. Otherwise, I wouldn't survive the snake's attack. I didn't know where to go, but I could try to distract it. I ran back to my hiding place and threw the torch in my hand towards it, hoping that the snake would follow the light.
From my vantage point, I could see the snake clearly. But it looked different from before. Its eyes were red and spikes protruded from its body. I had never seen a snake like this before. It must have been some kind of defense mechanism triggered by its anger. But what kind of snake could do such a thing?
