This time, Sergeant stood its ground, surprisingly not dodging.
Shen Xin instinctively opened his mouth to cry out a warning.
With a nimble sidestep, Sergeant dodged, raised a paw, and quick as a flash, smacked the viper on the head.
He gave the viper a big ol' slap!
The viper's head snapped to the side as it fell back, its body writhing.
It seemed to have been slapped silly.
"Holy crap, Sergeant is a beast!" Chen Guo exclaimed.
Everyone nodded in unison.
Shen Xin then remembered, 'Compared to dogs, cats aren't really afraid of snakes.'
'A snake's strike is incredibly fast, but to a cat's eyes, it's like watching it in slow-motion.'
'That's why cats sometimes even hunt snakes.'
After two failed strikes, the viper seemed to need a moment to recover and coiled up on itself.
Sergeant circled it, playing a dangerous game as it reached out a paw to bat at the snake.
HISS!
The viper shot its head up, tongue flicking furiously.
