They didn't let their guard down, over ten men continued to point their long spears at them, two other men were sent to survey the area while raising their torch.
The firelight illumined the area, indeed about ten carriages that were hidden in the dark was seen, and soon proven to contain rations and medical herbs.
A second man held his fire torch and walked up, and with the convenience of the light, the big man discovered the snake is still firmly biting that servant who by now was deathly pale.
"It's just a harmless black striped snake, you won't die if bitten. Stop groaning."
He meticulously identified and knew for certain that the snake is not poisonous. It was common to see it at the outskirts in these parts, he raised his hands and got it off the man. It curled in his hands, then using his sturdy left arm, he tossed it off. That snake was thrown afar off, then they noticed movements amid the grass and woods.
