The attack came faster than any of them expected. The ground exploded beneath the serpent as it struck, its jaws snapping shut inches from one of them.
A man wielding a pair of daggers barely twisted out of the way, rolling to safety as the impact sent shards of stone flying in all directions.
"Damn it!
The dagger-wielding man roared as he quickly picked himself off the ground in order to avoid being struck again.
Seeing its earlier attack fail, the serpent didn't waste any time and launched another attack.
However, its opponents were no pushovers. They quickly recovered from the surprise attack and began their counterattack.
The woman who spoke earlier quickly brought out her bow and unleashed a barrage of arrows towards the snake.
Multiple arrows that emitted a frosty chill flew out towards the serpent. As soon as the arrows landed, a burst of ice shot from them, slamming into the serpent's side. The frost spread, locking some of its thick scales in place.
