Chapter 5
Wan Zhong was brought back to the lair by the black snake again.
When he woke up, he found himself lying naked in the circle formed by the black snake’s tail. Not only was his body very refreshed, but the wounds were also covered with cool green mucus.
Wan Zhong raised his hand and smelled it, detecting a faint herbal fragrance.
His heart beat like thunder, and he held his palms to restrain himself for a long time before cautiously pulling his head away from the black snake’s tail. He hugged his knees and curled up, secretly observing it.
The black snake was massive.
Even though he was in the circle formed by its tail, he couldn’t see the black snake’s head because it was so big! Too thick! Too long!
About ten meters? Possibly longer.
The few exposed skin and scales of the black snake were pure black. The entire body, except for the pair of dark green emerald-like vertical pupils, had no trace of color.
At this moment, it was sleeping peacefully and snoring, its thick snake body undulating like waves with the rhythm of its breathing, causing the ground to shake slightly.
Wan Zhong couldn’t help but speculate.
Was this black snake being ‘kind’ to him? Did it waiting to fatten him up before eating him?
After all, with his current small body, there wasn’t enough meat for the snake. It was all bones for his teeth.
Wan Zhong closed his eyes to resist the dizziness caused by the snake-like surroundings, turned over slightly, and thought seriously about what to do next.
.
A moment later…
Wan Zhong took a deep breath and touched the black snake’s tail with trembling fingers, as if he had made up his mind.
The tail was covered with a layer of neatly arranged scales in a tile-like shape, gradually getting smaller from top to bottom, tightly wrapping the black snake’s flexible and powerful snake body like an indestructible armor.
Running his fingers along the scales from top to bottom, Wan Zhong felt their smoothness, without any obstruction. In addition to being refreshingly cool, they were also extremely sharp.
He only paused for a moment and withdrew his hand, but his fingers and palms were cut by several slender scales, and blood flowed from the serious places.
“Hiss!”
Wan Zhong gasped, quickly pressed the wound, and licked away the bleeding blood with his tongue. Though the reaction was fast, the black snake immediately woke up from sleep, straightened its body, and looked straight over.
Wan Zhong stopped breathing as he saw the black snake coiling around him. He couldn’t count how many times it wound around him; after the black snake used up all the length of its body, Wan Zhong’s eyes were already dizzy, turning like mosquito coils.
He felt as if he had fallen into a deep well or was imprisoned.
What trapped him wasn’t just the stacked high walls made of snake flesh, but also his deep fear of this black snake.
Wan Zhong uncontrollably curled himself up even smaller, trying not to touch the black snake’s body.
As the black snake’s big head penetrated from the top, the space enclosed inside the snake’s body immediately became dark.
Wan Zhong curled up his toes and clenched his back teeth, suppressing all his screams and struggles in his heart, shaking his body and letting the black snake lick him.
Its scales were cool and wet, and its breath was cold, carrying the fragrance of earth after rain. Not smelling any bloody scent on the black snake, Wan Zhong’s tense nerves relaxed slightly, and his eyelashes quivered as he quietly glanced at it.
The black snake’s eyes were shiny green, even more so in the dim light.
It licked his neck a few times, along his straight and thin shoulders and down his elbows. After touching his delicate white wrist with its forked tongue, it licked him with a very clear purpose: a scratch on the palm.
Wan Zhong’s heart suddenly rose to his throat; he was really afraid if the black snake tasted blood, it would swallow him up. But what the black snake did next made Wan Zhong wish it would just eat him.
.
After licking the wound on his palm until it stopped bleeding, the black snake very skillfully rolled two fruits into its mouth, rolled them around its mouth, then pried open his teeth, and fed them in his mouth.
That natural act seemed to have been done countless times.
Wan Zhong looked at it with some horror. After his eyes met the black snake’s expressionless vertical pupils, he lowered his eyebrows and obediently swallowed the fruit in an extremely resigned mood.
Although he didn’t understand what he had done to make the black snake mistakenly thought he couldn’t even eat a fruit, he was just relieved that the black snake wasn’t angry because of his escape.
He didn’t want to provoke it for no reason.
Wan Zhong hugged his knees to cover his private parts and obediently swallowed the water fed by the black snake.
He initially thought eating and drinking would be enough, but the black snake was very particular. Seeing the embarrassed look on his face, it actually rolled him up with its snake tail and rinsed him carefully, as if washing a cup.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Wan Zhong, who had drunk a lot of bathwaters, tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart and act like a docile and obedient prey.
Hugging the black snake’s cold and slippery tail tightly, he was rolled up by it to the outside of the cave.
It threw him high and caught him gently.
After doing this twice…
Wan Zhong was not only dry but even half of his soul was gone.
He looked at himself in the bright sunshine, naked, with his limbs spread out, flying towards the sun. The second he fainted; his moral integrity shattered to pieces.
Black snake: “…”
It was very helpless, looking at Wan Zhong, who had fainted in front of it for an unknown number of times.
He finally hung the man on a branch of tree together with his clothes, underwear, and shoes.
It rolled up the mirror, twisted its flamboyant snake body, and asked for the N+1 time.
[Mirror, mirror.]
[My damn charm has no place to be.]
[What should I do to make this human being accept that I, a handsome snake, am extraordinary?]
