Chapter 314: 314

It had only been a day or so by the time Daedalus encountered another beast . It was a sixty metre long and around two and a half metres wide, giant snake . The species of the giant snake was known as t.i.tan Viper, its main identifying features where of course its size and the long fangs that constantly dripped small amounts of venom .

Daedalus had encountered this t.i.tan Viper after seeing a cave, as he was in need of metal for a new axe Daedalus decided to go in . After entering Daedalus only noticed the snake when it blocked the exit as well as the light . Had Daedalus not been half dwarf he wouldn't be able to see anything inside the cave without the daylight spilling in .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntEven with being able to see Daedalus knew he was in a bad situation as the t.i.tan Viper was wrapped around the cavern . This would spell trouble as even if he killed it in one go it's thras.h.i.+ng was smear him across the floor not to mention the higher likelihood of the snake outright squeezing him to death .

Daedalus however pretended as though he couldn't see, it was possible that by doing this the t.i.tan Viper would disregard its own safety . So Daedalus wandered around for a minute pretending to be looking for the way out, at the same time he was also looking for its head .

Then he heard the hiss, it came from directly above him . Daedalus didn't bother looking at where the sound came from and dodged to the side closest to the exit . As he did a bang echoed throughout the cave and an enraged hiss filled the air .

It was at that moment Daedalus saw the ground itself melting at the area of contact, it was also then that he realised what he was up against . Then the snake relocated him and launched forward, Daedalus could tell that it thought him dodging was only a fluke . It was just as the snake was within a distance of about two metres that Daedalus pulled his spear out of his bag .

The viper seemed to sense that something was wrong however its momentum wouldn't allow it to stop . And then the spear pierced through its eye and entered its brain . Within seconds after that as the creature died it began to thrash around . The ground quaked in time with the thras.h.i.+ng and stones began to fall from the crumbling ceiling .

As Daedalus had already gotten close to the exit he immediately jumped over the thras.h.i.+ng corpse and just as he was about to get out . The snakes tail whipped him forward careening through the air directly into a tree .

Daedalus barely conscious slowly stood up gasping for breath as he tried to subdue the pain coursing through his back . Then with troubled steps Daedalus walked back towards the crumbling cave . As he made his way back Daedalus could see that the mountain the cave was in was actually collapsing .

He knew he had just barely escaped with his life, in fact the snakes tail whipping him away had actually probably saved his life because as he walked back over he could see a pretty enormous boulder crus.h.i.+ng the tail . Daedalus however didn't pay that much attention and made his way towards a limp head .

Carefully he walked closer and when he was about ten metres away he took out his bow and shot an arrow through its already pierced eye . The snake shuddered violently and hissed one last time before finally dying .
