Battle the 5000 Monsters

Suddenly, a cold sensation ran down her spine, and she looked to her side. There was the head of a python on her shoulder. Looking coldly at her.

"Hiss!" 

Her pupils shrunk.

Now that she thought of it, she could sense something slithering around her waist. She had been so used to feeling her son's hand wrap around her that she hadn't noticed the feeling at all. 

That was the snake's tail, right?

Xiao…Xiao Li, where are you…?

She cried out in her mind, but somehow, her body acted as if on instinct, and just as the snake tried to move and bite into her head, something pierced right into the middle of its head. It was her knife.

"Eee!" She yelped and pushed the creature away, but it was somehow right on track to maw a wolf that would have fallen on her if she hadn't thrown it. She dunked down for some reason, and a claw passed by above her.
