In the blink of an eye, Rowan was surrounded by the large snake. He felt the temperature from the scales rising rapidly like a heater, and the surrounding air became many times more stifling. He began to struggle, pushing away and saying:
"Change back, Owen! Do you want to roast me to death? Stop it immediately!"
He didn't want Owen to use his beast form to cool him down anymore; this method was actually heating him up, turning the cave into a furnace burning both of them.
Owen was called a cold-blooded animal, but more accurately, he should be a poikilotherm. His true body temperature would passively change according to the changes in the environment, without a self-cooling mechanism like humans.
