With a tactical lean, Chen Ying fell to the ground, and upon concentrating, he saw a black snake body.
Although he didn't know much about snakes, he could immediately recognize it as a White-headed Viper.
But White-headed Vipers usually inhabit rocky areas with caves in mountainous regions; when near cities, they often move alongside roads, rice fields, grass, and residential areas.
The focus here is that it's a ground-dwelling snake; was it just about to fly up and give him a tail slap?
Chen Ying cautiously looked around, finally spotting the culprit.
A bird hidden among the branches!
Once the bird locked eyes with him, it chirped, picked up a long twig, and flew away.
When Chen Ying looked down again, the long black snake that had nearly shared a French-style intimate moment with him was nowhere to be found.
