C16 (1/2)
The snake sensed danger when Heaven sent it back.
The snake's body was still coiled, and its head was still pointed at Tian Ci, ready to defend. Once Tian Ci dared to approach, she would attack without restraint.
It was only the first step of the snake's defense. The second step was to spit out the tongue of the snake, making hissing sounds as if trying to intimidate Heaven's Gift.
When he heard the hissing sound of the snake, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. Not to mention that the snake had already prepared its defense, even if it did not defend itself, it would still not rush forward.
The enemy does not move, I do not move.
The snake was afraid of being killed by Tian Ci, and the snake was afraid of being attacked by Tian Ci. One man and one snake, staring at each other without even making a move.
”Don't be afraid, snakes have nothing to fear!”
Out of fear of the snake, Blessing did not dare to make the first move. He was trying to overcome his fear by convincing himself.
The snake and the man stood in confrontation for a long time. The fear in their hearts lessened, and they slowly began to move.
The snake had already prepared its defense. He would not be so stupid as to directly grab it. Instead, he circled the snake, and after circling it once, the snake coiled its body and stuck out its head, following him around.
No matter which direction he tried to catch it from, he would be bitten at the first moment. It seemed that if he wanted to catch the snake, he had to break its defense first.
The snake did not move, but he moved again. He deliberately made a move to grab it, but the snake attacked and ran away. After a few rounds of testing, the snake was completely enraged. It gave up on defense and chased after him.
Running in a straight line would definitely give him no chance to catch the snake. Taking the snake in a circle, he ran a few rounds. The opportunity had finally come. While the snake was unprepared, he grabbed the snake's tail.
The snake was about to turn and attack, but he immediately dragged its tail and ran, not giving it any chance to attack him.
”Senior Brother, I've caught him!”
Did they really catch him?
It was only a snake's tail. It wouldn't be that easy to subdue it.
He dragged the snake back and forth across the lawn, not daring to rest for even a moment, because the moment he stopped, the snake would refraction and attack.
”God's blessing, be careful …”
”Ah...”
Two voices rang out at the same time. One was Fuyun's warning voice, while the other was a heaven-sent scream.
After a moment of silence, the snake took the opportunity to bite the back of Tian Ci's hand. This scene happened to be seen by Fu Yun, and he was just about to remind her, but he was still a step too late.
A sharp pain came from the back of his hand. Tian Ci was forced to throw down her snake tail and cover her painful wounds.
The snake saw that Divine Gift knew what was good for it, so it let go of its tail and stopped attacking. It turned around and ran, not wanting to get entangled with Divine Gift.
”Tian Ci, quick, catch it! Don't let it escape!”
Snakes were one of the ones that were given fear by heaven. They were just perfect for tempering the will bestowed by heaven. How could Fu Yun let the snake escape?
”God's blessing, you are truly stupid. How can you allow a snake to wear a piece of land?”
”If I don't let the snake wear the ground without being able to borrow strength from the outside, even if the snake can bend its body, the speed at which it can do so will be rather slow.”
”As long as you focus a little, it won't bite you!”
”Quickly go and catch him again. I guarantee that this time, the snake will not bite you.”
If he wanted to preserve his life, he had to leave as soon as possible. Although Snake wanted to leave as soon as possible, no matter how he fled, there seemed to be a wall in front of him.
Senior brother's words seemed to make a lot of sense, but at the same time, he couldn't refuse Senior Brother. He had no choice but to believe Senior Brother once again.
The snake was only concerned with escaping and did not have time to defend itself. Tian Ci seized the opportunity to grab onto the tail of the snake once more. He did not give it a chance to react and swung it in the air.
Although the Heaven's Gift was very high, it was still insufficient in comparison to the snake's length. It could only grab onto the snake's tail and spin in the air. The snake's head could not avoid contact with the earth.
After a quarter of an hour, Tian Ci felt that her hands were a bit sore, and had no choice but to slow down.
After many interactions with the earth, the snake had already given up on resisting. Blood was trickling from the corner of its mouth, and it was on its last breath. It looked like it was about to die.
”Snake, snake died?”
”I, I killed it?”
”Senior … Senior Brother, I … I killed it?”
When she saw that the snake was dead, she was so scared, so unaccustomed to it, that she even forgot the pain of being bitten by the snake. She stared at the moving snake on the ground.
”God's blessing, don't be sad!”
”Even if you capture this snake alive, I will make you kill it. This is something you must experience!”
Killing a snake?
He had not even thought about killing others and hadn't even been ready yet. He thought that he was only responsible for catching the rabbits, the snakes, and even his senior brother.
”Senior Brother, I don't want to kill it!”
Kill life, only to extend life, people need food, to become the executioner is inevitable.
”Heaven's Gift, perhaps you still don't know what the world we live in is like?”
”Senior brother will tell you today. You must remember, the world we live in is a world where the strong preys on the weak.”
”The survival of the fittest is the rule of this world.”
”Today, you only killed a snake. Tomorrow, you might kill a person. If you want to establish yourself in this world, you have to go through all of this!”
”In the future, I will no longer be by your side. You will have to face this world alone. If you want to live, there are some things that you must face.”
”If you face it alone, you will find that killing a snake is not worth mentioning.”
Natural selection, survival of the fittest, Heaven's bestowal doesn't understand.
He needed food when he was hungry, and he knew it was instinct.
