When the eel got its chance to get close to the snakes body, it delivered a strong bite that caused the serpent to loosen up.

Then they bite each other's tails, swimming in circles until the eel reaches the snakes head and gave it a strong bite.

The eel finally managed to escape and hastily swimming away leaving the snake injured.
