Don't startle the snake by hitting the grass... Don't startle the snake by hitting the grass? How should I understand this phrase?
Cherie's mind was suddenly a bit muddled, but she quickly relaxed—this phrase at least wasn't a cautionary advice or a warning like "There is danger ahead". Moreover, upon careful consideration, being worried that they would startle the snake by hitting the grass meant... Had their master already made some arrangements in that place?
Cherie's eyebrows immediately relaxed, and she smiled, "It's nothing; I just remembered something I forgot to bring from home, but it's not anything important."
Clara was skeptical. But before she could ask any questions, Cherie took two steps forward and released her familiar. The tiny familiar spread its wings and in the blink of an eye flew into the darkness ahead, while Cherie dramatically closed her eyes, as if she was completely focused on synchronizing her senses with her familiar.
