The python was beside the elder, staring intently at An Hongyuan. In this darkness, there was no light at all; the brightness in the stone chamber fully depended on the pair of yellow eyes of the python to see everything around. Therefore, the snake's head was the most conspicuous thing in the stone chamber.
Upon opening his eyes, the first thing An Hongyuan saw was a hovering snake head. Snakes are inherently creatures that easily evoke fear, especially in such a situation, when a python's head is staring directly at you, anyone would probably collapse in fright.
However, An Hongyuan was not panicked, not even a little afraid. He sat up directly, wiped the bloodstains off his face, turned to look at the elder standing beside him, and quickly bent down to kneel, saying, "Grandfather."
