Wen Qinxi who had been struck out of the blue staggered a few steps backwards before turning around to face that yellow belly of a snake that dared strike him before making a break for it. He was terrified of snakes but his psycho setting toughened him up to the point of grabbing the snake's tail and whacked it hard against the floor.
The snake couldn't slither away from this without suffering any losses so it decided to play dead to survive. It could have changed back but its pendant fell off somewhere. Wen Qinxi wanted to whack it once more but his vision turned hazy with his muscles weakening as a state of paralysis kicked in.
