Once again, Alan entered through the crack. He squeezed himself and the crystal spear inside, and carefully dodged the piles of crystals he had set up.
Seeing the snake rush at him, he grabbed the spear with one hand and picked up a crystal. And threw it with all his might.
'Hiss!'
The snake hissed, and as it slithered towards it prey, it noticed the familiar glint of the dangerous crystals. It weaved with its scaly body and dodged the crystal, only to be met with four more coming right at it.
One hit it close to its jaw, the others on its body. Enraged, it marched forth again, managing to drive its prey to a corner.
Swiftly, a large portion of its body's appeared from the darkness and covered the crack. The snake hissed in pain as the abundance of crystals around the crack, which were like walls, ripped into its skin, but it was satisfied.
No longer would the prey be able to run away. All it needed to do was keep that part of its body there.
