The screen shattered again, but the gluttonous snake still did not rush out of the game. The screen was just a special effect. The gluttonous snake rushed out of the Earth and swallowed the Moon. Its body grew again after consuming the Moon, and Wei Huo could control it and make it rampage the Solar System.

However, Wei Huo did not control the gluttonous snake. He instead fell into deep thought. Could there be something special about this game?

Wei Huo thought about it and decided to control the gluttonous snake as it charged toward the sun. However, halfway through its journey, the gluttonous snake started struggling. It seemed like it was unwilling to reach the sun and it even managed to escape Wei Huo’s control several times to swim back.

Wei Huo was confused. Is this a system setting? Or does the gluttonous snake have its own thoughts in the game? If I continued controlling it and made it swallow everything in the universe, would it really rush out of the game world and come to the real world?

This was a terrifying game.

A scary game did not have terrifying elements, nor did it create a horrifying atmosphere. It knew how humans thought and made humans fear reality.

Wei Huo understood at that moment. The game was simple, but it prevented the snake from getting a high score. If the snake got a high score, the whole universe would be destroyed at once!

If one did not have guts, one would not have a better heritage!

Wei Huo felt like his life was a one-on-one game. If he made the decision to continue cultivating this gluttonous snake, he would have to face the monster he created one day.

So… should I do it or not?

Wei Huo made a decision at that moment. He controlled the snake’s head and made it swallow Mercury. Then, it swallowed Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn. Once the snake became big enough, it would swallow the sun in one bite.

There was nothing in the universe that could stop the snake anymore. Wei Huo started making the snake devour things like crazy. The Milky Way, the Exodus Star System… At the last moment, the gluttonous monster grew to an unlimited size and almost broke through the universe. Wei Huo hesitated for three more seconds before controlling the snake and making it swallow Earth.

Click! The screen cracked again!

This time, the screen really shattered. The game did not show that it was over, nor did it show that it had been cleared, as the game screen had shattered.

At the same time, terrifying sounds of thunder were coming from outside the cave. Wei Huo was too engrossed in his game to realize that it was already dark outside. The battle between the Wild Giant and the Black Dragon seemed to have ended. There were only sounds of thunder and flashes of lightning outside. The atmosphere was as tense as if doomsday had arrived.

However, nothing happened after he waited for three minutes. Wei Huo touched his nose and realized that he was overthinking things. This was just a game, and the screen would break when one cleared it. The game’s purpose was to scare the player.

Through the shattered screen, Wei Huo saw a new tunnel. He decided to enter the new tunnel and then saw a technologically-advanced metal tunnel.

Wei Huo continued his journey. After a few steps, he arrived at a floating platform. Wei Huo saw a gigantic spacecraft standing on it.

It was a silver-white spacecraft in the shape of a fan. The front was small, the back was huge, and there were two huge nozzles at its end. Wei Huo took out his scanner. After scanning it for more than three minutes, a ‘particle thruster’ blueprint appeared on his blueprint interface.

This was lost technology!
