A snake? Wen Ning hasn't run into Jin Guangyao at this point or he might have been able to make the connection. As it is, the sight is still disconcerting. He stands very still when Jin Zixuan tells him to stop, not daring to take any action before he gets the go ahead. He doesn't dare whisper, either. This is the creature they have to defeat to end this dream, but it's the other man's nightmare to handle. He gets to call the shots.

But that doesn't keep him from thinking on what he knows about his magic so far, and what sort of spells he could possibly use to help out here without messing things up more.
