"It probably watched me come into its territory. I am an intruder after all.
It is only right that I am feeling this much pressure already, but I am no more a nobody.
I also am a new predator. Sick Em boys." Tim said after pinpointing the location of the snake.
The undead snakes could access information that Tim wanted to share telepathically, so when Tim gave the instruction for them to attack, they immediately knew where to attack.
The undead and unnamed snakes charged at the boss monster snake with full intent to kill. Before they reached the last known location of the snake, the snake had left its last location.
Tim who was high on alert caught sight of the snake. It had speedily moved out of its last known location and it was now directly coming for Tim.
Tim saw the snake fully as it charged at him from the top of a tree.
The boss monster of the current dungeon that he was in was unlike the other snakes that he had faced previously.
This particular horned snake had a horn. It was not as big as the other level 4 horned snakes, it was 4 meters long, but what made it stand out was that it was really muscular and wide.
Its thorns on its back were long and it looked like it was made of a very hard substance.
If Tim could describe what he was seeing now in human terms, then he would say that he was looking at a porcupine that was long like a snake.
It was a terrifying sight, but not for Tim.
Seeing the snake charge at Tim, he hurriedly dodged and took refuge behind a tree.
He immediately knew that his undead were definitely not a match for this boss monster. It moved just too fast.
"Death Embrace." He called out.
Immediately, one of his undead summons withered and Tim was instantly notified.

He needed it all for this particular beast, because he doubted that the beast could even lay a scratch on the snake.
The last undead snake charged towards their location, but the boss horned snake instead opened its mouth really wide and spat out a massive stream of acidic spit.
Tim's undead horned snake was already charging towards the boss monster and it could not change its direction, so it was struck first time with a massive amount of acidic spit.
SPHHHHHHHH
That was the sound that Tim heard when the acidic spit came in contact with his undead snake. It was as if the acidic substance were evaporating the very content of the snake's body.
Immediately after the acid bath. Tim got a notification.
[Undead Horned Snake is dead. Revive Time 1:00:00]
He frowned when he saw that. He knew that those snakes could not handle this particular boss monster.
Luckily for him, he used his death embrace before the battle even started. He couldn't imagine going up against the boss monster empty handed.
Death Embrace was his saving grace because of the bonus that it provided.
It provided him with two skills and some boost to his stats. One thing that he knew for sure in this world was that stats actually mattered.
With his enhanced stats, he brought out a thorn from his hand and held it like he was holding a weapon. On his left hand, he made thorns appear on it.
He needed all the help that he could get. He did not know the level of the boss monster, but he figured that the boss monster would be in a double digit level thanks to its speed.
Tim's heightened senses picked up the snake's ambushed acidic projectile that was coming with speed towards Tim.
"Hell no." Tim cursed out, as he threw himself forward with a forward roll.
There was no way that he was going to let that acidic spit that one shotted his undead touch him. he could not still believe that a level 4 beast that previously gave him a problem was one shotted so easily.
He looked at the direction of the projectile to check if the snake was still there but to its surprise the snake was gone.
One thing was sure for Tim about this particular snake. The snake was intelligent.
It was a surprising thing because, in most books that he read, the dungeon monsters were not this cunning and intelligent.
To put it plainly. Tim that once called himself a hunter to the snakes was now being hunted by the boss monster.
The snake was fast and it climbed the trees faster that the level 4 horned snake.
PISH
Another projectile was shot towards Tim, the direction was very predictable so Tim easily dodged to the left.
But before Tim could land on his feet, he was smashed with the horn of the snake. BAM!
Luckly for him, he used his left hand and the thorn he was holding to hurriedly deflect the horn that was going to pierce his chest.
Even after avoiding the fatal blow that came his way. Tim still slammed his back heavily into a tree and some blood forcefully came out from his mouth because of the impact.
'Why does it feel like I was slammed by a truck.' Tim thought as he hurriedly tried to reposition himself.
PISH PISH
Multiple acidic spit projectiles came his way and he forced himself to dodge them.
He was in a lot of pain and he had no choice but to resist the pain, because the boss monster was really after his own life.
