After Being Abducted and Raised by A Snake

That chicken skin was obtained by Wan Zhong with great difficulty.

Not only was it comfortable, breathable, and wear-resistant, but it also had many uses.

It could be made into a bed or a cover, and also used to create bags and clothes. He had used it as a sleeping bag before, finding it very warm. If the black snake hadn’t torn his underwear to pieces, he wouldn’t have been willing to cut open the chicken skin.

Now, in the blink of an eye, his chicken skin fell apart into biscuit-sized pieces, not even enough to be used as a rag.

Wan Zhong was choked in his throat, his hands curled up and then relaxed. After doing this several times, he squatted down in silence, trying to pick up the slightly larger pieces to see if they could be made into bags or something.

No idea.

The black snake seemed to have a grudge against the chicken skin. It was very bad-tempered and swept the pieces of chicken skin off the cliff with its tail, leaving not even a scrap behind.

“You!”

Wan Zhong had no idea why the black snake was doing this.

He was angry, but he couldn’t get angry.

The overbearing and unreasonable black snake didn’t feel there was anything wrong with it at all. It raised its noble snake head, looking down upon him with its thick green vertical eyes being cold and ruthless. It looked arrogant, as if saying, ‘You must be obedient, or I will kill you if you’re not.’

He could only endure for a while, and take a step back to see if there was other way.

Wan Zhong thought, ‘I couldn’t afford to offend it’

He wanted to find a place without the black snake to calm down and lick the internal wounds caused by the black snake’s unreasonable anger.

But the black snake was also very angry. It wrapped its tail around Wan Zhong and wanted to ask him: ‘Why do you wear the skins of other animals on your body? In that private location? Don’t you know that place is exclusive to the snake that it doesn’t yet own it?’

Fortunately, Wan Zhong didn’t know what the black snake was thinking, otherwise, he would have scolded it for being sick and then been pissed to death by it.

He couldn’t stand the tyranny of the black snake, and his anger instantly increased when the black snake touched him. He couldn’t help but pat its tail to avoid it and said, “Let me go!”

The cold scales of his palms were like scratches. It tickled, but something magical happened.

The neatly arranged scales on the black snake’s tail suddenly fell off without any warning the moment Wan Zhong’s palm touched it. It rolled on the ground like a broken shield.

Wan Zhong: “!!!”

He stared blankly at the fallen scales, completely dumbfounded.

The black snake was even more stunned, the whole snake in a state of shock.

.

In the end, Wan Zhong was the first to react. He hurriedly tried to put the fallen scales back on the black snake. Big cold sweat poured down on his head like raindrops. He apologized repeatedly without tears: “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it, I… I… I’ll put it back for you right now, put it back.”

But Wan Zhong didn’t know if he had touched some strange switch. It was okay if he didn’t move. When he moved, everything he touched on the black snake started making its scales fall off.

The scene was like toppling dominoes.

From the tip of the black snake’s tail all the way up, all the scales were loosening and falling off one after another.

“Handsome, handsome snake, you…I…”

Wan Zhong’s face dropped, and he was about to cry. The black snake came back to its senses, turned its head slowly, and crawled into the cave, obviously much slower than before.

Wan Zhong stood in confusion among the scales on the ground for a long time, and hurriedly followed it.

Scales from the black snakes were scattered everywhere on the ground, some still stained with blood.

Stopping at the entrance of the cave, Wan Zhong saw from a distance that the black snake was twisting its body wildly in the pool. It was bumping, grinding, and rubbing against the protruding rocks beside the pool like crazy. The snake’s body was tense, and he didn’t know what it was fighting against.

As the pool water overflowed from the cave entrance, the entire cave shook slightly.

Those scales that had not yet fallen off were forcibly pulled from the snake’s body in such violent treatment. Blood splashed into the air, scattered by the rising water waves into the sky, turning into a blood mist with the airflow and splashing everywhere.

The black snake seemed to be in trouble.

Wan Zhong’s feet seemed to have taken root in the ground.

In the mist of blood, he saw that its snake body was shrinking rapidly, and the tip of its arched tail was constantly stretching and tightening, as if it was about to burst in front of him in the next second.

Wan Zhong trembled with fear from the bloody scenes in his mind, and the black snake noticed his presence and looked over.

The pair of dark green vertical pupils that were always cold and full of animality turned into a very strange pure black at some point, merging with its snake body, penetrating him like a sharp sword, locking him in place and unable to move.

Wan Zhong felt his heart stopped. The black snake was even more panicked than him. It dived into the bottom of the pool first and disappeared. Only the boiling surface of the pool showed that the black snake was still in a very unstable state.

Wan Zhong covered his heart, and when he got over the heart palpitations, he hurriedly rolled and crawled out of the cave…

.

He hid in the rock crevice behind the sword rack bell and slept for three nights, watching the black snake never come out. His fear inevitably added a touch of worry.

This left Wan Zhong helpless and desperate.

During the days when the black snake took good care of him, during the time when he deliberately established a bond with the black snake, he admitted that he also had feelings for the black snake.

He no longer fainted at the sight of it.

His fear of it diminished little by little.

Occasionally, he would make some small requests of it.

He even dared to use some tricks to make it reluctantly give in.

He didn’t know how deeply the black snake felt about him now, what its attitude was, and whether it wanted to eat him. However, he unknowingly regarded it as a friend and couldn’t help but worry about it.

Wan Zhong understood that this mentality was wrong.

He should be as vigilant as possible because, to the black snake, he was just a reserve food to be slaughtered. But the black snake had never harmed him, he really couldn’t be hostile to it, and even basic vigilance had almost been lost.

Wan Zhong felt that he was really going to suffer from Stockholm Syndrome.

He walked around the entrance of the cave a little irritably, hearing that there was no movement inside. After hesitating for a long time, he walked in cautiously.

The flooded ground was full of mud, sinking with every step.

The water pool had returned to its original calmness, with a very complete layer of black snakeskin floating on it.

But for some reason, the black snake that was originally soaking in the pool with its tail on the shore rolled up its mirror when it heard his footsteps and swam into the pool and disappeared.

Wan Zhong paused, curled up his fingers and called tentatively: “Handsome snake, what’s wrong with you? Are you shedding your skin?”

The black snake hid at the bottom of the pool, watching in the mirror as it shed its skin and turned into a half-human, half-snake, with pale lips and a very haggard self. He hurriedly wrapped himself up with his tail, covered his face, and hid it behind the mirror.

[Can’t see me.]
