He spotted a cavern ahead with even more stalactites and lured the snake there. He began to make shallow cuts to weaken them as he leapt past them. The snake slithered over, trying to attack him. After a while, Xiang Yu stood at a gap at the top of the ceiling, taunting the snake. Enraged, the snake attacked, and he slipped deeper into the tiny space. The snake hit its head against the small gap, trying to get to him, but its head was too big. It kept hitting the wall repeatedly while he crawled back far enough.
Each time the snake hit the wall, the stalactites shook until they all fell at once, stabbing the large snake. As the shards of rock impaled the snake it let out an ear-splitting cry that resonated deep within Xiang Yu's core. Dust from the centuries-old stones shrouded the cave into darkness. He covered his head as a cloud of dust filled the small space.
