I started to approach the left side of the two-headed snake towards its abdomen. In fact, I would like to aim at the head, but when I used a slash on the right eye of the purple head, it couldn't hurt the scales around it and hurt only its look.

I have to aim at its weakest areas; the abdomen is one of them, the other is its eyes, and finally, inside its mouth, but I can't aim there for obvious reasons.

I keep getting closer to its abdomen while the snake continues hissing and flailing from the pain in its eyes.

Because it continues to writhe like a worm, I can't give it a direct hit.

After a few seconds, the opportunity arrives, it's not much, but it lifted enough to give him a good blow.

Just as I intended to release the Slash ability, I hear something waving in the distance coming in my direction.

I try to focus my eyes and see what is approaching when my blood leaks out of my body.

You've got to be kidding me.

What is approaching is another two-headed snake, the colors of their heads are purple and green, which is either poison/plant or poison/insect; with the experience of this other snake, I don't know what to believe anymore.

My mind is running at breakneck speed, thinking about what I should do next.

Stay and keep fighting or escape to get another chance; which option to choose.

* There is a third option.

I turn my head toward the two-headed poison/ice snake and run towards it.

The snake is still hissing in pain and doesn't know what's going on around it, so I run in its direction and use the Slash skill to aim for its abdomen.

Once that's done, I run to hide behind the two-headed snake in the trees.

I don't even check if I hit it right or not, but if everything goes as I thought it would, I can make a considerable profit, and if not, I might die for the first time in this world.

I quickly jump into the bushes behind the trees and lie down on the ground, take out a stone from my bag and get ready for the next step.

* Kawaii, don't make any noise, for now, you hear.

* Ki! (⇀‸↼‶)

Just 3 seconds later, the other two-headed snake arrived. It came at full speed after hearing the hissing of the other one.

The new two-headed snake checks the surroundings; it looks for me.

Ok, time for the second phase of the plan; I take advantage of the snake turning to another place and quickly throwing the stone away from where I am.

It hits a tree and falls, the noise is barely audible, but for an animal on high alert, it is easy to hear; the snake turns its head and releases a massive amount of venom from both mouths towards the place where the rock fell.

The venom is so potent that it dissolves part of the tree and the surrounding area, leaving a dense purple and green stain.

After releasing the attack, the two-headed snake looks as if it is satisfied and turns towards the other purple/blue two-headed snake.

Seeing that attack made me break out in a cold sweat; if I were to be hit by that. It's better not to think about that.

After the purple/green snake launched that attack and saw everything melt away, he showed a pleased expression and turned his gaze towards the other snake that hissed in pain.

Upon seeing it, the purple/green snake crawled underneath it and lifted it; then, it started to carry it on its back and drag it out of here.

A few seconds later lost the snake in the trees and bushes; after seeing that the coast was clear, I came out of my hiding place and sat on the ground.

* Fuck, that was close!

* Kii!!! ╯﹏╰

That purple/green two-headed snake would have me defeated in barely a second if I'd stayed and fought.

At least the plan worked; only one thing is missing.

I checked the surroundings for a few moments, and indeed I found what I was looking for.

Blood, my attack managed to wound the poison/ice two-headed snake; now I can follow the trail and enter its lair; if everything goes as planned, I'll get a 2 x 1, so I have to do it right.

I take out the rest of the potions and drink them, which recovers me 150 HP, I didn't fully recover because I didn't need it, but now I do.

I want to buy more potions and antidotes, but they cost one silver coin each, and I don't have that much money anymore.

* Let's go in parts: first, let's rest and eat, then we'll continue hunting bunnies and greenhorn deer to exchange them for money, and finally, we'll use that money to buy more potions and antidotes to go snake hunting tonight, what do you think Kawaii?

* Kiiiii (-‸ლ).

It seems that she's not convinced, in any case, it's already decided, another reason why I want to go at night is to take him by surprise, with the experience now, I have a 60% chance to win in a 1vs1, but now that another one appeared, I have no opportunity to face both of them at the same time.

We sat down and started to eat, I took out the food packet and about ten hypos herbs, and we enjoyed our lunch; once we had eaten and rested, the hunt started again.

During the next 4 hours, I hunted another 13 greenhorn deer and 27 bunny deer; the funny thing is that a notification popped up after hunting this last one.

[Congratulations, you have completed the achievement "Bighorn hunter."]

[You get Agility+1]

* So you can get achievements for hunting a certain amount of monsters; the bad thing is that there is no window to show me all the achievements obtained.

A valuable piece of information has been obtained, now I have one more reason to hunt a lot of monsters, but there is no more time to pursue more greenhorn deer and get another achievement; I have to go back to the guild, get paid, buy more potions and antidotes and go back to hunt the two-headed snakes.

With all that said, I start my way back to the guild to deliver all the monsters I got today; I also left marks to go back and search for the two-horned snakes' lair at night.

Once I arrived at the guild, I called the receptionist to deliver a total of 51 bunnies and 23 greenhorn deer; this time sold the bunnies at 50 copper coins each because they were not in the same condition as of yesterday's; as for the greenhorn, deer sold them at the same five silver.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

All that gave one gold coin - 40 silver coins - 50 copper coins.

And once again, I am rich again, but it will go down once I go back to buying the necessary potions and antidotes.

Now I head to the inn to rest and organize everything I need.

Once I'm in the room, the wild purchases return; this time, I buy 5 Potions of elemental HP LV 2 and another 3 Flasks with antidote; unlike the other potions, this one recovers 30 hp per second for 5 seconds.

Now I'm ready for combat, I go downstairs to eat together with kawaii, and we go hunting again.

Although the moonlight helps a little, it's not enough, so I take out the flashlight and start looking for the mark I left this afternoon.

After an hour of searching, I finally find the sign I left; I follow the marked direction and find the drops of blood left by the two-headed snake; they are already dry but still visible, so I start to follow the track I went.

As I follow the marks, I find many more monsters on my way; it seems that, during the night, the activity of the monsters increases, I don't want to raise chaos, so I keep as quiet as possible and continue my way.

After following the blood marks, it led me to a tree whose roots had a massive hole in them.

* So this is where their nest is, Kawaii; when I come down, I need you to find a shelter and hide there.

* Ki? ( 0 _ 0 )

* He will likely throw his poison at me during the fight, and it may fall inside the bag, and I don't feel comfortable knowing that you may be in danger. Do you understand?

* KI! \_(-_-)_/

Once we confirm the plan, I start to go down the hole; the path is long and steep, making it challenging to go down.

I finally reach the bottom; I start using the flashlight to illuminate the site.

It turns out that it is a kind of caveat. First, I get scared because this place is too big to be inhabited by two two-headed snakes; with the fear of believing that there are more snakes, I quickly illuminate some sections, only to prove that my suspicions were wrong.

There are no more snakes. I only see one lying at the bottom, the purple/blue one, and the one that is further ahead as if it were standing guard is the purple/green one.

Once I confirm the positions of the snakes, I release Kawaii to hide somewhere.

I slowly approach the purple/green snake; I have to hurt it badly; that way, if the other snake gets into the fight, it won't be impossible to kill them both.

I point my sword at the left eye of the purple head and confirm my retreat route.

Ready...3...2...1, now.

I thrust my sword into the left eye of the purple head, and it quickly snakes out.

* SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

The snake hisses loudly, but it doesn't affect me as I am in the air.

The snake suddenly rose and lifted me into the air as I thrust my sword.

But my attack is not over yet.

I quickly release a Slash while my sword is still stuck in its eye; this causes my sword to break free and fall to the ground.

[-60 HP]

I take a bit of damage, but it's acceptable because my attack has made the snake's purple head completely shattered and useless.

* SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

The snake hisses again, but this time the green head does it, the purple head has completely disappeared, and there is only a mixture of flesh and blood that spreads all over the place.

The colossal roar wakes up the other snake, and it starts to move in my direction, but its speed of movement is slower compared to our first encounter.

As the poison/ice snake comes toward me, I quickly pull out the slingshot and start throwing rocks at it as fast as possible.

I'm not looking to defeat it or hurt it. I want to buy time until the cooldown of my slash ability runs out.

As I throw stones at it, it starts throwing its poison, which hits the rocks and me in the process.

[You've been affected by the Icy Poison]

* Shit!

I take out an antidote and drink it immediately.

[The Icy Poison is gone]

[You have received the BUFF - Resistance to Poison]

* I don't have any more stones?

I've run out of ammo fast, so I grab my sword again and run in the direction of the purple/green snake; only 3 seconds left before I can use Slash again, so I run in the order of its abdomen.

On the way, the poison/ice snake keeps shooting at me, but I can withstand it thanks to the 60 seconds of poison resistance I have. I continue running and finally reach its abdomen; I tighten my sword and perform a Slash with all my efforts.

Slash!

The cut tears its abdomen and pierces part of the scales around it.

[You have defeated the two-headed poison/plant snake.]

After that notification sounds, a vast amount of blood hits me, so now my clothes are soaked in blood, but I don't have time to worry since the poison/ice snake has already arrived and is pouncing on me.

I manage to dodge the bite of the blue head, but the purple head gets too much and tries to bite my head, I quickly raise my left arm to defend myself, but this is unsuccessful.

Since the purple head bites me so hard that the immense pain makes me drop my sword.

[-150 HP]

Then it lifts me and leaves me hanging in the air while the blue head looks at me and opens its mouth, preparing to shoot its venom at me.

* *smile* I don't think you've already won.

From my bag, I take out the normal knife that I haven't used again, I do a domino, and I stab the knife in the left eye of the purple head.

* SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

The immense pain he is in causes me to let go and fall to the ground, which causes me to take a lot of damage.

[-60 HP]

* *ack* *ack* ok *aff*

Now poison/ice snake is writhing in pain, so I take a moment to grab 2 HP potions and another antidote just in case.

I grab my sword again and run towards the poison/ice snake.

This is not over.; now that it's almost blind, it's only a matter of time until I manage to deliver a killing blow.

I aim my sword at its abdomen again and use the slash skill again, but this time I miss it, which causes the snake to become desperate and attack me uncontrollably.

The poison/ice snake starts chasing me and uses its blue head to guide it while the purple head spews its poison in all directions.

Meanwhile, I keep running, trying to get distance from it, but the poison/ice snake is almost catching up with me, I see that my ability is active again, so I decided.

* He who doesn't risk doesn't win.

I stop and turn around to face the poison/ice snake and wait until it is close enough.

My heart beats very fast, but my mind is cold; I only have one chance, so I have to wait for the right moment.

While I stand still, the poison/ice snake is getting closer and closer, and I can even feel its body heat, so I get into position and wait.

I wait for the right moment as the snake gets closer and closer.

Five meters.... four meters.... three meters.... two meters.... one meter.

Until he is 30 centimeters from my face and opens his mouth to rip my head off.

NOW!!!

I slide to the right, dodging its attack, aiming my sword at its mouth and unleashing a Slash, which causes the top of the blue head to go flying through the air.

* SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

The poison/ice snake hisses in pain again, but I don't move away from it this time. Instead, I run in its direction and climb on its back to get to its other head, but it's too complicated to hold on tight because it's flailing around too much.

After much effort, I manage to reach its head, insert my sword into its right eye, and use Slash again, which causes its head to be mutilated in the same or worse way than its companion.

Finally, the poison/ice snake's body stops moving, and a notification confirms its death.

[You have defeated the two-headed poison/ice snake.]

* I did it, I did it, I DID IT!

Finally, I can't hold back anymore and celebrate my victory, there were many ups and downs in this fight, but I got the win in the end.

As I continue in my state of celebration, another notification pops up that does nothing but improve my mood.

[Cold Mind]

[Description: You can keep yourself under control in extreme or desperate situations, you also become immune to mind control effects]

Immune to mind control effects, which will be very helpful for me to avoid friendly fire or even face monsters with mental abilities.

Let's stop thinking about that; now it's time to collect the loot.

I approach the corpses of the two-headed snakes and pick them up; I remember that the reward for defeating them was 80 silver coins; I wonder how much they will give me if I give them the bodies.

In any case, it's time to get out of here.

* KAWAII, where are you?

I call Kawaii so we can get out of here, but he doesn't show up. Where is he hiding?

* Kawaii, I've already defeated the snakes; you can leave now; besides, I don't want to sleep there.

* KIIIIIIIII!!!!!!

Kawaii comes running toward me, and I try to put her in the bag to leave, but she refuses to go in.

* What's the matter?

* KIIIIIIIII!!! ヾ(ﾟдﾟ)ﾉ

* How do you want me to follow you?

* KI!!! (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

With Kawaii's insistence, I listened to her and followed her.

She leads me to the area where the two-headed poison/ice snake was resting, the ground is lumpy and soft, plus there are dry leaves everywhere.

* That's it.

* Kii!!!<(^_^)>
