After being flung away, the first response of the five-step snake wasn't to flee but to coil its entire body together, raise its triangular head with a flickering flame-like tongue, and hiss threateningly at the second brother.
The second brother stood a meter away, in no hurry to attack, sizing up the five-step snake with his little eyes while making "ao ao" noises, like a martial arts expert, leisurely circling around the five-step snake with his short four legs.
Suming was afraid it would attract other wild boars. Fortunately, there was no movement in the distance, probably because the boar herd downwind hadn't smelled the five-step snake.
As the second brother circled, the snake's head followed, closely watching his every move.
Seeing this, Suming immediately felt that the second brother was much smarter than he had imagined, whereas the five-step snake seemed rather foolish. If you keep following its rotations, you'll end up dizzy.
