Here is the translation:

  But it wasn't slithering on the ground like a snake, instead its body was curved and then bounced up. As I stood there in a daze, the thing suddenly jumped up again, jumping very high, and I quickly retreated backward. But it jumped at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of me. I tightly grasped the sharp stone in my hand, preparing to strike at any moment.

  But that thing didn't move a muscle, and besides the patter of the rain, all I could hear was the sound of my own heartbeat. I swallowed hard, and my entire body began to tense up. After a long time, it slowly started to stretch its body, and at this point, I noticed that it was using its tail to lightly tap against the ground, although the sound wasn't loud, it had a clear rhythm.

  Suddenly, I realized something, but it was too late. A "popping" sound appeared in my ear, and the sound got closer and closer. I should have thought of this earlier, as I had heard before that some animals use sounds to summon their companions. Indeed, after a short while, three or five more of those disgusting things appeared in front of me. They surrounded me like they were worshipping something, and at this point, my calf had already lost all feeling.

  I only then discovered that my calf had swollen up, and a burning pain was coming from the wound. Suddenly, a "chirping" sound appeared in my ear, which sounded just like the call of a wild chicken. The rhythm of those monsters' tail-tapping began to speed up, and they seemed to be getting anxious.

  Suddenly, a wild-chicken-like thing burst out from behind me at an extremely fast speed. That "wild chicken" seemed to have been trained, as it pounced on the small monster in front of me, using its beak to quickly peck at the monster's head twice, and then another one... Those monsters scattered and ran away, but that "wild chicken" seemed determined to catch them, chasing after them without letting up.

  Just as I was wondering what this thing was, I suddenly felt like there was someone behind me. I quickly turned my head around, and discovered that an old man had appeared behind me at some point. He wore a tattered straw hat on his head, and a white undershirt that had been soaked through by the rain. Around his waist was a bamboo tube, and in his right hand, he grasped a short knife with a black dragon pattern carved onto the handle.

  The knife itself was also very strange, not straight but curved like a snake's shape, entirely black, giving people an uneasy feeling when they looked at it. I sat on the ground in a daze, my throat already starting to feel numb, and my chest felt like there was a huge stone weighing me down, making it hard for me to breathe.

  The old man suddenly walked over quickly, one hand grasping my right foot, and the other holding that strange knife, pointing it at my wound. The sharp blade tip stabbed into my body, but unexpectedly, I didn't feel any pain. That strange knife seemed to have come alive as it entered my body, the old man's brow furrowed in concentration as he slowly manipulated it inside me.

  Suddenly, his brow relaxed, and two white fangs popped out of my wound. I immediately felt a bit more refreshed, and the old man glanced at me, expressionless, before standing up. He stepped on one of the small monsters that was still writhing on the ground, then used his foot to lightly kick it into the air.

  The old man quickly used his knife to slash at the monster's chest, then caught it in his hand and used the knife to dig out its internal organs, placing them in front of me. "Eat this," he said. I didn't understand what was going on, but presumably it would be good for my body, so I ate a mouthful of that monster's flesh.

  Although the monster looked disgusting, its meat actually tasted very fresh and delicious, melting in my mouth as soon as it touched my tongue, with a hint of sweetness at the tip. But I didn't dare to chew, swallowing it directly instead.

  After eating the meat, that "wild chicken" had already flown back, its beak still holding onto another half-dead small monster. After eating those internal organs, I felt my body gradually recovering, and only then did I feel a wave of pain coming from my calf. With great effort, I tried to stand up.
