Upon returning to the city, Monkey went back to report to Wei Fang, while Mo Fan headed to Hangzhou.

  The weather was fine. The sun was shrouded behind the clouds. Occasionally, a soothing breeze would fondle their faces. It was definitely the perfect weather to go shopping.

  Mo Fan bought a hot drink for Xinxia. She held it with both her hands and took a small sip at times. Her eyes were scanning the shops nearby, the delicate dispy windows with dazzling items, and the things that she was fairly interested in. Due to her impaired movement, she rarely had a chance to go shopping in a busy district, nor would she have the chance to leap with joy after finding an ornament that she was extremely fond of. Xinxia had many friends, who were exceedingly kind to her. However, not just everyone would spend so much time hanging out with her at pces like this. She seemed rather out of pce among the walking pedestrians, the overhead bridges on the streets, and the escators in the shopping malls.

  The full experience of going shopping surely included buying great food. Mo Fan soon arrived at a fairly tall restaurant with a spectacur view.

  He could act willfully, as he was rather rich now. Simir to most of the rich people, Mo Fan enjoyed going to luxurious restaurants with gss windows. He would choose a spot close to one, and enjoy the view of the modern city. He would order a gss of coke...Uh, wine, and had an enjoyable time with a gorgeous beauty across the table. Ah, what a pleasant life!

  Mo Fan did live like a caveman before. He had experienced a tense atmosphere where a grave danger would possibly lunge at him at any second in the wild. As such, he was treating the chance to live a calm, sweet life preciously.

  Xinxia, who was feeling the moment in a simir manner, stared at Mo Fan’s eyes as she grumbled, “Brother Mo Fan, can you please not leave the city again?”

  “Don’t worry about me, it wasn’t that dangerous,” Mo Fan said with a grin.

  “Ningxue has already told me.” Xinxia twisted her lips. She knew Mo Fan would try to comfort her and stop her from worrying.

  “Oh, oh...” Mo Fan rubbed his head awkwardly.

  Mu Ningxue and Xinxia had always been close. Therefore, it went without saying that Mu Ningxue would tell Xinxia the entire incident. Mo Fan suddenly realized that him trying to comfort Xinxia with a lie was a bad move.

  He had to be more cautious. He had to consider the possibility of his first and second wives colluding before lying to them.

  Mo Fan was not interested in continuing the topic. He gnced at the scenery outside, hoping to shift Xinxia’s attention.

  It was a very tall building. Although they were a few tall structures nearby, they were unable to block the perfect view that the restaurant had.

  His gaze quickly skimmed through the buildings nearby, reflecting the colorful lights of the city, and saw the West Lake which had been retively calm for centuries in the distance... For some reason, as he gnced at the reflection on the surface of the ke, Mo Fan’s mind was occupied with the ugly Giant Lizards, possibly because he had been seeing too many swamps recently.

  Slightly to the left was a tall building that belonged to a bank.

  The building was polygon-shaped and had a pointy top. It had silver LEDs spread all across it, and was built mainly with refined gss. From Mo Fan’s angle, he could see an outdoor swimming pool with a side gnce.

  The swimming pool was obviously not open to the public. There were only a few girls in their bikinis there...

  Somewhere on his right stood a five-starred international hotel. It was surely one of the tallest buildings nearby. It was famous in Hangzhou due to its spectacur view across the West Lake.

  From Mo Fan’s angle, he could see the entire five-starred luxurious hotel.

  “Strange, we just walked past there. What’s that building?” Mo Fan finally found a potential topic to shift Xinxia’s attention. He pointed at the tall bck shadow between the skyscraper and the five-starred hotel.

  Xinxia turned her head around with a confused look.

  “It doesn’t have any light. Is it new?” asked Mo Fan.

  Xinxia shook her head, “I passed by the area recently, but I don’t recall seeing the building...”

  After taking a closer look, Xinxia suddenly acted strangely. She turned around and said with a weird expression, “Brother Mo Fan, I don’t think it looks like a building.”

  “It doesn’t look like a building?” Mo Fan was startled.

  Mo Fan quickly took a closer look with his senses. He was shocked in the next second!

  Mo Fan’s face gradually filled with disbelief, which soon turned into fear as he got a closer view of the shadow. In the end, he was overwhelmed with fear!

  The shadow that was standing in the busiest district in Hangzhou slowly turned around!

  It was as if... It was turning around after being aware of someone looking at it.

  It was literally turning around!

  The bck shadow was definitely not there before. It was currently standing between the silver skyscraper and the luxurious five-starred hotel!

  It had its back against the restaurant that Mo Fan was at, and now it was turning around...

  It had a gigantic face, even though the majority of it was ft.

  Its two triangur-shaped eyes were glowing, like spotlights lighting a logo at the top of a skyscraper. Its flicker was not too bright, but it was eerily terrifying, as if it could penetrate deep into one’s heart!

  Its head and neck were almost the same width. The neck was slightly bloated, like it was wearing a giant cowl. It was entirely bck in color, but one could barely see the scales on its skin under the illumination of the neighboring tower.

  As for the rest, Mo Fan did not dare to look any further.

  It was staring right at him. As a matter of fact, it made more sense for it to be staring at the building instead of the people in the window due to its wide vision. However, Mo Fan somehow had a strong feeling that it was looking right at him!

  The stare made him feel extremely tiny and petty!

  It stood at the busiest district of the developed city like an emperor. Despite the countless people on the streets and the tall highrises nearby, it was just standing there... It felt like it had been there for thousands of years instead of just appearing a few moments ago.

  In the air, a helicopter circled the bck shadow and directed its spotlight at it. In the darkness, Mo Fan could finally get a clear look at its appearance.

  Snake, it was a snake!

  It had its body upright like a statue. If it did not turn its head around, most of the people would assume it to be a freshly constructed skyscraper.

  It was extremely huge. Mo Fan was confident that a beast like it could bring utter destruction to the city just by moving around.

  However, it did not move. It maintained its posture after turning its head around. The only clue that proved it was not a statue was the tongue poking out from its mouth!

  “Heavens, what... what is that?” Someone in the restaurant finally realized the astonishing sight and burst out screaming.

  “Snake, it’s a snake!”

  “A snake, it’s really a snake. Help!”

  The restaurant that was filled with a romantic atmosphere a moment ago burst into an uproar. Everyone’s eyes were filled with extreme terror, yet they felt so lowly that the Skyscraping Snake could not spare a gnce for them.

  The restaurant was filled with screams and cries. Even Magicians like Mo Fan could feel their hair standing on end, let alone the ordinary people who had never seen a demon beast before.

  Even the Razortail Drake had not given Mo Fan such great soul-trembling fear.

  Could anyone tell him what he was looking at?

  He was currently in Hangzhou. The modern city was built up over thousands of years by human civilization, why would the Skyscraping Snake now right at its center come out of nowhere?!

  “Xinxia, behind me!” Mo Fan bit his own tongue. Only that would help him to briefly overcome the fear that was filling his heart.

  Standing behind the transparent window, Mo Fan did not flee for his life like the rest of the crowd. He clearly knew that with a human’s speed, it would be no different than just standing there waiting for their death facing the Skyscraping Snake.

  As Mo Fan sensed the Skyscraping Snake slowly reaching its head in his direction, Mo Fan subconsciously dragged Xinxia, whose mind had gone bnk, behind him.

  The Skyscraping Snake was extending its body. Its face slowly leaned forward as if it had seen something interesting. It slowly approached the restaurant’s window. Its ntern-sized eyes were parallel to the restaurant located on the seventieth floor of the building!

  A pair of human eyes, despite being filled with boundless terror, had a strong determination to live in them.

  A pair of snake eyes, without any sign of anger or joy. It was rather impossible to tell what it was pnning to do. Maybe it was just randomly casting its gaze at a spot, and somehow the pair just happened to be within its vision...

  It might be a mindless act from the Skyscraping Snake, but it posed a threat that the man who was trying to protect the woman behind him had never felt before!

  —-

  The dark clouds reflected the dazzling lights of the city. The closest yer to the clouds were the symbolic skyscrapers that stood like tall trees. They symbolized the modern and prosperous of the human race, but tonight, they were no longer the closest to the clouds. That was a legendary snake that was straightening its body!

  The astonishing view served as a heavy sp to human civilization. The humiliation and tininess before the gigantic beast had fully toppled the understanding of humanity, who realized that they were only frogs living at the bottom of the well.

  It was not moving, nor was it destroying anything, but it was already a great camity to the pce.

  The crowd that looked like dense bck dots from a great height ran in all directions. Vehicles had blocked all the crossroads. Many were rushing out from their cars and fleeing on foot...

  A nightmare had just arrived, without any sign or any chance for humans to prepare themselves.

  A few minutes ter, a few people with wings on their backs appeared.

  Magicians who were able to fly were highly respected among humans, as they were exceedingly powerful. However, they were like flies and mosquitoes circling around the Skyscraping Snake, not daring to move any closer.

  The good news was, the towering snake had shifted its gaze, as if something else had attracted its attention.

  It leaned sideways as its neck began to expand. It was as huge as a cloud.

  Its eyes found a focus. They fixed onto a white-shirted man with long hair flying toward it from the south.

  The man had long hair like a woman’s, perfectly straight long hair.

  The man nded on the pointy tip of the skyscraper nearby. Below him was the swimming pool, where the girls from wealthy background had already fainted, resulting in a rather intimate view.

  The long-haired man raised his head and stared into the eyes of the towering snake. Among the thousands of people nearby, his eyes, sharp like the eyes of eagles, were the only ones that were not filled with fear.

  “Even though the seal on you was nothing, it doesn’t give you the right to stir such a scene on the streets!” the man yelled, as if he were talking to the Skyscraping Snake!

  The Skyscraping Snake completely ignored the man. It slowly raised its head, staring at the closest dark clouds, and hissed...

  Suddenly, a haze encapsuted the Skyscraping Snake’s body. The haze was faint at the start, only partially shrouding the snake’s astonishing size. It quickly became as dense as the dark clouds, fully hiding the Skyscraping Snake within.
