Around an hour went by since I began exploring. It felt like the forest was infinite and also that it was just becoming denser and denser. It was actually becoming rather difficult to navigate through it. Also, as I wandered deeper and deeper into it, less and less did I start believing that I actually was reborn inside of the Amazon Rainforest.
'I suppose one bonus to being a snake right now, is that even with the density of the trees around me, I can still navigate somewhat easily...'
I thought before slithering over a rock. Another thing that was becoming rather obviously annoying, was the fact that everything looked the same. There was such an abundance of the same tone colours, to the point where I wasn't even able to tell where I came from. So much green tones, brown tones, grey tones - it was seriously like an artist had just vomitted colour all over a canvas.
But then again... It's not like I was really going anywhere with a goal in the first place. I was kind of just going and seeing where I end up, so I guess getting ''lost'' was kind of expected and dare I say, even predictable.
Sighing, I turned back around before slithering on top of the rock I had slithered over moments earlier. Looking around more carefully, I tried to spot any signs of something that stood out in-between all the dense trees, bushes, vines and all other greenery and what not that was all around me. However, even with a small vantage point - I could not see a thing through the thick tree line all around me. Only really a couple of boulders popped their way out and above some bushes nearby.
'Wait... Big boulders?'
I looked back to where I had spotted them. There were what looked to be around 3 - 4 large boulders, all in one spot, each one a bit bigger than the bushes.
'Perhaps I could go over and climb on top to get a better view?'
I thought. Even with this rock I was ontop of right now, those boulders could serve as a much better vantage point, not only because they were higher up, but also because it appeared that the trees around them were a little bit less thick. Sliding off the rock I was on top of right now, I steadily slithered towards the large bolder group, navigating my way through the tall grass rather quickly and easily.
One good thing about a slippery snake body such as the one I have right now was that navigation through areas like this was so easy, it felt criminal. And of course, moving around overall was a bit easier now, as I had pretty much gotten used to moving around without legs. If anything, I'd actually say that I was moving a bit faster as a snake than I was while a human.
It only took a couple of moments, before I reached the 4 massive bolders. They were even bigger up close, towering over me kind of like skyscrappers would in a massively populated and modern city such as New York or Tokyo.
'Welp, here goes nothing.'
I thought before slithering onto the largest of the boulders and making my way to the top. Once on top, I looked around. I now had a much, much better view of the area - as well as I could see much further now, since the bolder was taller than most of the bushes around, which meant that the only real thing that was blocking my view were the tree branches and vines that hung off of them.
However, even with the higher ground and further seeable distance, I still didn't manage to spot anything that stood out as 'different' in the mass of trees and bushes. It all still looked very samey to me and the treeline just got thicker and thicker the further I tried to look.
'Well.. this is rather disappointing.'
I sighed. Then, I suddenly felt the bolder I was on tremble a bit. I was a bit perplexed, however ignored it - writing it off as perhaps just a small rubble of the ground or something. But then, the boulder trembled again, causing me to look down at it in confusion. The other boulders were also trembling and shaking...
Is there an earthquake?
