Because when all the clones of the giant snake gradually merged into the giant snake's main body, the main body's speed was no longer describable as 'swift as the wind and fast as lightning.' Instead, it was fleeting, nearly reaching the point where it could leave an afterimage! Moreover, if the sharp-eyed Old Man was not mistaken, then clearly, the enormous creature in front of him could actually reduce its own body size.
It is well known that the larger the cross-sectional area, the greater the wind resistance it encounters. That is to say, when facing this giant snake beast, which could not be assessed by common sense, its threat lay not merely in its strength, but also in its powerful ability to instantly increase its own speed!
Thus, the Old Man was under immense pressure. He could only look at Wang Zhan, who had fallen into a deep sleep and was already half-dead, and curse in frustration, "You brat! God damn it, you're screwing us over!"
