ed so real.”

“Yeah, the eyes were like a pair of spotlights.
I was more than ten streets away, but it felt like that thing was right in front of me.”

“There’s no way that’s an illusion.
They are hiding something.
I was right in the hotel when it happened.
I could clearly see its head from my angle.
It’s definitely not some illusion made of some magic!”

——

Within a day, the people of the entire nation had their eyes on the astonishing news.
Many people who were present when the incident took place accused the government of hiding something.

However, just like every other epic incident, it would slowly be forgotten when there was no news following it up, as the people’s attention was grabbed by other incidents happening across the nation.

On the second day, the people were still listing the evidence on the Internet, demanding the official party give an explanation.

On the third day, most of the people were leaning towards believing the official statement.
No matter how real the Skyscraping Snake looked, no one could explain how it appeared and vanished like a piece of cloud.

The demon beasts were savage in nature.
If such a towering beast actually appeared, the whole district would be in ruins.

A week later, fewer people were discussing the topic.
The public had shifted their attention to the new species of demon beast that had appeared along the coast…

——

Mo Fan had stayed at Hangzhou during the week.
It took a whole week for the haze of fear in his heart to clear up.

An illusion? Some sort of formation constructed with the Shadow Element?

As a Magician who had spent quite some time surviving in the wild, Mo Fan could guarantee with everything he had as a man that it was definitely not just an illusion!

The Skyscraping Snake was real, and Mo Fan had a strong feeling that it would show itself again!

Mo Fan spent most of his time in the apartment that he had rented.
He could not even focus on his cultivation.
Every time he closed his eyes, his mind would be filled with the giant face of the snake and its deadly, cold eyes!

What exactly was it?

No government in this world would try to hide information about a demon beast.
Why would the officials claim it was an illusion in their statement?

How did such a gigantic snake appear in the middle of the busiest streets, and disappear without causing any destruction?…

What category would the beast belong to?! It was definitely not Commander-level! Mo Fan had seen quite a number of Commander-level demon beasts, and yet he had never been so terrified by one before.

Mo Fan did not want anything to do with the snake.
However, he realized that he could not focus on his cultivation after seeing it.
He could not help but feel uneasy if the doubts and fear continued to occupy his mind.

“I guess there’s someone I can ask if I want to learn more about it.”

Mo Fan made up his mind.
He wanted to at least know what it was, and found out what it had done to him, to make his mind overwhelmed with fear whenever he closed his eyes.

“Miss Tangyue, are you free? I’m in Hangzhou,” said Mo Fan.

“What the hell are you doing there instead of resting in the army?” Tangyue scolded him.

“I’m well-rested.
Actually, I’ve been in Hangzhou since a week ago…” said Mo Fan.

Tangyue paused for a moment, before asking in a solemn tone, “Did you see it?”

“Yes.”

“Come to my place.”

“I’m quite scared to go closer to the West Lake area now…”

“Hah!~” Tangyue uttered a pleasant giggle before asking with a hint of mockery, “Even a guy as fearless as you feels scared for once?”
