But the events before them were enough to shock everyone. Without a contract or enslavement, the monster actually took a protective stance!
The giant python proudly raised its body, flicked its arm-thick tongue, and stared intently at the burly man with its lantern-like eyes.
"We're retreating! Retreating!" The burly man sensed a sense of danger emanating from the giant python, and immediately became afraid to go forward. He waved his hand, shouted, and turned to run.
Seeing more than a dozen people flee in disarray, An Qianshan was speechless with astonishment.

Gu Liyan smiled and said, "We can communicate through soul communication."
An Qianshan looked at the giant python that Gu Liyan called Xiaoqing with a wary expression, and sighed helplessly, "I hope you can gain the approval of the strongest monsters in Longhu Mountain in the future."
