Head of the snake quest
Since I'm now ahead while the snake leader is now a-head. I apparently killed some weak monster that was in there, poor them, but I really gotta bounce now. And then turned around and looked at those snakes, then I blew fire in between us, the trees and the shrubberies between them had caught fire. I start running towards a clearing in between the trees, pass by 5 monsters that hadn't realized I was there.
But I am not stupid like this beetle here. I know that I can't win against those numbers, they may be weaker than me individually. But I wasn't safe yet, since the other snakes are coming. The clenching feeling in my neck had disappeared, and I had felt better instantly, my vision takes a while to return completely, but I at least was able to see the head of the snake fly off. I continue forcing my claws to go through, until suddenly, the resistance they were feeling was gone. Yet I continued trying to cut off its head. The world was blurring around me and I was begining to hear my own heart pound. Breathing was getting difficult as the snake was still strangling me, it hadn't moved its head closer to me though. I start taking quick deep breaths, then I force my claw to move downward, I take my other hand and then start smacking down on my other hand. My time is nearly up, I need to do it quick. From the corner of my eyes, I also spot more snakes coming. Its body was a little to hard for me to cut it completely, the snake moves its tail over me and was now trying to constrict me. My claws cut halfway into it, but then freeze and stop. I swing my claws at a third of its body to cut off its head. I continue running towards the snake at a higher pace than before, the fire had dissipated quickly but luckily it had damaged the snake slightly and gave me cover to get closer to it. The snake rattles its tail as it raises its head and hisses, I inhale deeply and then I blow fire towards the snake with all my might. I hurry up and lunge at the snake, since if I took any longer things would get bad. Even the fighting around us had started to die down, as the fighters were starting to perish. But luckily the snake had retreated slightly after being caught by me, it was now just standing there, eyeing me. Although some of them had started to run away. Looks like the monkey that was on fire had perished, now that I see it again, I can see more things were on fire. Not again! I'm tired of snakes and their stupid poison! Anyways, I just have to kill this long noodle, then I can run aw- Ahem I mean retreat. Its stats were pretty high, but was there something wrong with its level? These thoughts were cut short as the snake had retaliated by twisting and biting me in my hand, Ow! I realized that it was a mistake and I let it go, the place where it bit me was slightly crushed. The snake had punched and bitten the monkey instead of me, the monkeys shoulder that was bitten was crushed by the attack, I put my claws around the snakes neck as it was attacking the monkey, and I squeeze as hard as I can, I had also appraised it while I was holding it. I hold the remaining monkey and use it as body armor for the snakes pounce to fail. While the fire was spreading around, I finally see that snake again, it was coiled and was preparing to strike at me. The monkey starts freaking out and runs around the place spreading the fire. The other two stop attacking for a moment, I twist around to them and then I spew fire from my mouth, this hits one of the monkeys directly and lights it on fire. I kick one of the monkeys with my hind legs, the force of the impact pushes it away, and makes it spew blood from its mouth. Maybe I got a bit too arrogant with that level up, but I wasn't gonna sit and let these monkeys monkey around. Ow, ow, ow! I had nearly forgotten it, but these monkeys could still do damage to me seeing as the difference wasn't too large. Suddenly two other monkeys come in and start flailing on me. The attack forced my head down which made me lose track of where the snake was. It was obviously getting closer to me, suddenly one of the monkeys finally moves and takes a swing at me.
I hear that the hissing of the snake was getting louder and louder. I gotta get outta here quick before I become the biggest target in this cave. The crowd of the fighting monsters were too busy fighting each other, although the ones that I had fallen into were now eyeing me. Unfortunately, me finishing off the beetle enraged the snakes, the large one of them was hissing at me. Hehe, the level up from that beetle was really nice, guess I'm really lucky to be able to find such a good opportunity.
