章 102: Fire vs Poison

As I saw my HP bar decline, even just by a few points, it made me angry and upset. What was he attacking me for? Although it didn't hurt, it doesn't feel good to be attacked like that.

«Go easy on him.» Sensei cautioned. «He's just confused. Your scent is familiar but he doesn't quite recognise you. He probably thinks you are a new snake that ate his leader.» 

Eh? What kind of stupid reason was that? Clearly I was still the same snake, only bigger.

But then I remembered he was never that smart to begin with. 

I slowly released him from my grasp.

The lizard prowled around me, looking for another opportunity to strike. He was so serious about avenging me that I wanted to laugh. How adorable! 

I suppose if I did die, I wouldn't mind the lizard going after my killer for revenge, only he was mistaking my identity here! I couldn't wait to get [Telepathy] so I could finally communicate.
