"It's good that you're cautious, but the first principle of survival is to keep yourself alive," Zong Fang instructed him.
The Two-headed Snake cautiously poked its head out, straightened its body to move a few steps, stopped, observed, and then moved a few more steps before finally reaching the bowl.
Noticing its approach, the other snakes made room for it, and then they continued munching away at their food.
Zong Fang smiled with satisfaction.
It seemed that this little guy had already conquered his brothers and sisters.
Snakes are solitary by nature, and grouping together often leads to competition. In times of food scarcity, they might even resort to cannibalism.
Zong Fang could imagine that life had not been easy for this group of snakes, but the fact that there had been no incidents of cannibalism suggested that this Two-headed Snake had done a good job of keeping order.
