The haze grew thicker and soon covered the entire Skyscraping Snake.
It slowly formed the shape of a snake connecting the ground to the clouds.
It showed no sign of dissipating after a prolonged period…

As the wind blew in from the West Lake, the snake-shaped haze finally began to disappear, blowing away slowly.
During the process, the people could no longer see the astonishing figure of the Skyscraping Snake.

As a matter of fact, the beast had already left by the time the haze wrapped around its body.
However, the people still assumed that it was still there, since a slight movement from it was enough to bulldoze the streets.

To everyone’s surprise, it had disappeared into thin air, just like that.
It did not destroy a single building, nor did it utter a single cry.
Nothing was left apart from the disappearing haze between the silver skyscraper and the five-starred hotel… Oh, that wasn’t true.
It did leave a haze of fear covering the whole of Hangzhou.

Inside the restaurant, Mo Fan’s black shirt was already soaked with sweat.
After confirming that the towering snake had left, Mo Fan could feel his limbs becoming weak.

Frankly speaking, he would rather believe he was having a nightmare, as such an unbelievable scene could only take place in dreams!

The only problem was, that alone was not enough to explain the fear that felt so real, which had resulted in him being soaked wet with cold sweat.

“Brother…Mo Fan.” Xinxia opened her eyes and could only see Mo Fan’s back.
The soaked shirt was sticking to his back.

Mo Fan was standing still.
His body subconsciously shivered tremendously as he took in more breaths.

Hearing Xinxia’s call, Mo Fan tried his best to calm his thoughts and forced a smile, “Everything… everything is alright now.”

“Did it disappear?” asked Xinxia in an intimidated tone.

“I think so.”

“Do you know what it was?” she asked in a weak voice.

Mo Fan shook his head.
He slowly took out his phone and browsed the Internet…

As he thought, the news soon spread widely.
The topic of the Skyscraping Snake in Hangzhou City exploded on every social platform!

“The government will give us an explanation… Either way, let’s…let’s leave this place first,” said Mo Fan.

“Mmm…” Xinxia nodded.

——

The district that was rather peaceful a few moments ago was in a total mess filled with horns, screams and cries…

The people were still running away.
No one knew if the snake were going to appear again.
Everyone was trying their best to leave the land of nightmare.

Mo Fan could not care less about the laws.
He Summoned the Swift Star Wolf and quickly left the area.

He did not want to say a single word, nor was he in the mood to care about the discussions happening on the Internet.
He solely wanted to bring Xinxia somewhere safe.

Mo Fan had no idea what would happen after this.
He completely lost his curiosity due to fear.

He only wished that the thing would never appear in front of him, ever again!

“People of Hangzhou, do not be afraid.
It’s only a beast shadow that has been invented quite recently.
The snake isn’t real at all.
It’s only an illusion, which is the reason why it was able to appear and vanish without any sign.
If it were a true demon beast, its size alone would bring utter destruction to the city!”

In less than an hour, the official party had commented on the shocking incident.

“So it was only an illusion, they said it was made of mist, but it looked 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?”
