The natives had seemingly never seen such large creatures before, their faces turning pale as they gripped their wooden spears tightly.
Others picked up hefty stones from the ground and hurled them continuously at the serpents.
"Messenger, come here! It's not safe over there, these creatures are too large," one shouted.
"We've never dealt with beasts this large before; this place was always safe. I don't know why these appeared suddenly. Please, come here, we'll ensure your safety," another native said, his face ashen yet speaking with strained fortitude.
John couldn't help but smile at their reaction, gently patting the two serpents he had summoned.
"It's okay, come here, these are my summons."
The serpents, being inanimate beings, behaved normally and tamely upon being summoned.
The surrounding natives stared in shock as John affectionately interacted with the serpents, baffled at how such immense creatures could remain so docile.
