Ethan was acutely aware that he needed to remain vigilant.
A single moment of inattention could lead to an unexpected downfall, even in a seemingly straightforward situation.
Hence, Ethan couldn't afford the slightest relaxation in his focus or alertness.
At this juncture, Ethan was thoroughly incensed by the brown Venomous Serpent.
Without offering the serpent a moment to recover, Ethan watched as it retreated to the side, visibly in agony.
He wasted no time in repeating his previous tactic, leaping towards the serpent with the intention of crushing it underfoot.
Ethan exerted a significant amount of force in this leap.
The brown Venomous Serpent, recognizing the severity of the situation, hastily moved to evade.
However, it was evident that the serpent had sustained injuries.
Its speed, though still rapid in reaction, was noticeably slower in terms of bodily movement.
