"What is this?!"

Qingyu's pupils dilated suddenly, and her expression momentarily went out of control, her eyes filled with fear.

Before her stood a four-legged behemoth nearly three meters tall.

Its body was covered with silver-gray fur, its limbs were like those of a beast on the ground, and its huge head resembled that of a wolf, but it was more ferocious than a wolf.

The behemoth's eyes burned with an inextinguishable eerie green flame, as if they could see into the deepest, most hidden fears of the soul.

Its body was covered with dark, rough, armor-like skin, and its muscles were bulging, gleaming with a cold light in the dim light.

What terrified Qingyu the most was the unusual tail behind it.

It was woven together by more than a dozen living giant pythons, each with its own independent life, forming a bizarre yet harmonious and terrifying scene.

Seeing Qingyu's gaze, the giant pythons opened their mouths wide as if they had suddenly spotted prey.

Its scales gleamed with a cold light, its tongue hissed, and each open mouth revealed sharp, knife-like fangs.

Saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth, corroding the ground below with a sizzling sound.

"Don't worry, they get excited when they see strangers; this is them saying hello to you."

The giant beast lowered its head, its eyes, flickering with eerie green candlelight, silently gazing at Qingyu, and a deep voice emanated from its wolf head.

"Say hello..."

Qingyu's eyes twitched as she looked at the terrifying giant python.

"You're very brave."

"The behemoth said."

"Most people would be terrified if they saw what I looked like."

"I...I was surprised too."

Qingyu calmed the turmoil in her heart and said in a deep voice.

It was impossible for her not to be afraid. She didn't believe anyone could remain calm after seeing such a colossal creature for the first time, especially since it was standing right in front of her, and the oppressive aura emanating from its enormous form was so palpable.

What's your name?

"Green... Green Jade".

Qingyu answered subconsciously.

She immediately realized what was happening and quickly asked.

"That thing that was chasing me before...that thing..."

That's me.

"It is a giant beast with a wolf's head and a snake's tail," said the beast.

"But I'm not chasing you, I'm just conducting a routine patrol of my territory."

"On the contrary, it's you..."

It paused in its speech, and the two eerie green flames in its eye sockets grew even more intense.

“Your situation is quite interesting; you were almost unconscious when I met you.”

Did you save me?

"Well, you could say that, but I wasn't the one who actually saved you."

Who is that?

"And also, who exactly are you...?"

What exactly am I?

The giant beast spoke for Qingyu, voicing her confusion.

"I know you have many questions, and someone will explain them to you in a little while."

Qingyu wanted to speak, but suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

"Don't get too excited; your body isn't strong enough to handle big emotional changes."

As it spoke, the giant beast walked to the other side, its four hooves stomping the ground with a dull thud.

"Could you tell me first... how long have I been unconscious?"

Qingyu still couldn't turn her neck. She endured the throbbing pain in her temples and asked with difficulty.

"One week."

"That's what the giant beast replied."

At this moment, it walked to the side, and in a corner where Qingyu could not see, stood a huge bronze mirror.

The giant beast approached the bronze mirror, its tail protruding its enormous snake head before the mirror. Then, it opened its massive mouth and spewed out a stream of eerie green liquid.

The liquid touched the bronze mirror, emitting a faint fluorescence, and then gradually seeped into the mirror.

"What are you doing."

Hearing the commotion, Qingyu asked in confusion.

"You have a lot of questions."

The behemoth glanced at her indifferently.

"I don't like talking to people, but whatever your question is, someone will answer it for you in a little while."

Hearing the other party say that again, Qingyu felt a surge of curiosity about the person she was about to face.

After a while, she heard a hissing sound not far away, as if some strange change had occurred.

Amidst the flickering light and shadow, something seemed to emerge.

"Cheng Sha, is she awake?"

A woman's voice suddenly rang out, as if it appeared out of thin air in this space.

"Another person has arrived."

Qingyu's pupils contracted slightly; it seemed this was the person the giant beast had spoken of.

"Cheng Sha, is that its name?"

She was thinking to herself.

"Yes, my lord."

The giant beast Cheng Sha said in a deep voice.

"My lord?!"

Qingyu was startled; this title contained far too many meanings.

My lord, this means that the other party and this giant beast have a master-servant relationship, and the difference in their relationship is vast.

"Okay, you may leave now. I will speak to her."

"Yes, my lord."

During the conversation, the giant beast Cheng Sha retreated to the side.

Qingyu tried to turn her head to look, but unfortunately, she couldn't move her neck.

"Do not move."

The woman's voice was very soft, and Qingyu's expression immediately relaxed.

Then, a phantom figure appeared in front of her.
