It froze slightly…
Not from fear.
But from alertness.
Its big brother had already told it to be on guard as there might be danger in this forest, so it must never be careless when encountering another lifeform.
Be it human, like its master.
....Or something else.
Its head turned slowly as it looked at the bush ahead.
Rustle...
Rustle...
Something was moving inside.
Judging by the trembling leaves, it didn't seem heavy.....just a soft, slow movement.
Then, as the leaves parted, it saw something thin slither out from the undergrowth....
And a flash of purple shine onto it gaze.
Hissssss—
It was a big snake.
And not an ordinary one at that.
Its body was as thick as a man waist and nearly ten meters long.
On its body were scales that shimmered dark violet under the sunlight, like polished crystal, along with strange black patterns crawling across its skin like veins of ink.
And most terrifying of all… were its eye and its aura.
