In the creeks of the Chuxia Swamp , a relatively large swamp near the outskirts of Zhang Gu city. It was made up damp marshy lands thick with shades of brown , Dark clouds loomed over the swamp , a signal for an impending storm. The moonlight peeked through the dark clouds , casting a faint glow on the area below
In the Outer region of the forest , there was a clearing filled with various bushes , shrubs and small plants.
From one of those bushes came the figure of a snake
Its scales glistened black under the moonlight , its body , more than 20 feet long . its sharp eyes darted around the shrubs around it vigilantly as it slithered along the soil
There was one thing in particular that set it apart from other snake species . At its head region was a small cavity , covered by a thin gelatinous like membrane.
As it continues its journey through the fields , its black pupils constrict into thin vertical as it rears its head to a nearby bush
Its intense gaze lingers on that bush , without a seconds delay , it released a lowd hiss towards the bush .
A faint rusling of the leaves of the bushes could be heard as a faint green figure slithered out of it.
A green snake
The snakes scales were bright green , with its body being about 10 feet long , half the size of the black snake , its body was small , much smaller than that of the black snake.
It approached the black snail , its nose twitching as he smelt the scent that brought it here .
Pheromones
Its tail twitched and wagged slightly in excitement.
Meanwhile the black snakes , on seeing the green snakes size relaxed visibly , its taut muscles reclining as it watched the green snake approach impassively.
The green snake began rubbing its chin on the back of the back side of the black snake.
The black snakes eyes watched the green snake with an unreadable gaze.
The green snake was Male trying to Court the black snake ,which was female. One might not see anything wrong with this but the green snake was visibly weaker and smaller than the female . its bright colouration of green also proves how diluted its bloodline is.
Whereas in contrast , the black snakes deep black colouration proves how concentrated bloodline is .
Which female wants to mate with a male weaker and of a lower 'status' than them?
Against all expectations , The black snake did not attack the green one , but flicked it toungue at it , as if meaning , "follow me".
The green snakes followed like an obidient puppy.
After several minutes of movement through the foliage . They arrived in front of a large bolder of about 60 feet tall.
The female snake coiled herself into a ball , her strong muscles taut like a bowstring as she lept like a spring towards the bolder , nearly covering half its height in one leap.
As she reached the Apex of her jump at 30 feet , her long body tried to grip the bolder , the sharp edges of the bolder pierced her ventral (belly) but did not go far as even hitting a blood vessel as even the scales present there was quite strong
With a low growl , she slithered around the bolder enduring the pain caused by this , slowly ascending the bolder under the gaze of the dazzled male.
