357 Ecdysis (1/2)

Mo Fan fell into deep thought.

Zhan Kong had decided not to reveal to the public that he was still alive, as a precaution against the Black Vatican.

However, if the Black Vatican were trying hard to get rid of him, it would only be a matter of time until they found out the truth.

Mo Fan was bewildered. What did those assholes from the Black Vatican want? Was it the Underground Holy Spring, or the secret of the Totem Beast?

Having this thought, Mo Fan discovered a lovely painting on the wall. It had a gigantic snake that was tall enough to reach the roughly drawn layer of clouds...

Under the gigantic snake was a little creature. It was tiny like an earthworm comparing to the snake. Mo Fan could not help but crack out, ”So, this Skyscraping Snake has a little baby, too. It looks rather cute.”

Tangyue followed his finger and said with a smile, ”The baby you're mentioning is the Skyscraping Snake itself.”

”F**k me, what is the thing above it then?” Mo Fan almost wet his pants.

The Skyscraping Snake definitely had the most shocking size that Mo Fan had ever seen before. If it were cloudy, it could easily connect the ground to the sky.

Meanwhile, in the wall painting, the snake in it was more than ten times bigger! Wouldn't it be shrouding the Heavens!?

”I don't know either. It was drawn by people in ancient times. Maybe it's just a wild imagination, that there exists some god that the Skyscraping Snake worships. It lives up above in the sky, and its size is even crazier...” answered Tangyue.

Even their tribe possessed lots of the ancient legends that they could not explain today. After all, it was rather common for the knowledge being passed on to be lost somewhere.

Mo Fan also agreed that it was a mere imagination. Otherwise, if such a gigantic beast were real, he should go to Mars instead. Earth was too dangerous for him.

Suddenly, he heard a deep roar that could penetrate into one's soul, extremely close to the lake!

Mo Fan began to tremble. He stared at his Miss Tangyue in disbelief.

”Dont...don't tell me… it's right here!” Mo Fan's expression became weird.

Mo Fan now believed Tangyue's words. Things like totem beasts were discussed in their History textbooks. However, whenever Mo Fan recalled how it could appear out of nowhere, he could still remember the overwhelming fear. The next thing he knew, he was soaked in cold sweat.

”Mm, it's right there.” Tangyue pointed outside.

”Miss Tangyue, why don't we discuss this somewhere else, let's go to your place,” said Mo Fan.

”Hehe, you don't need to be so scared of it, it doesn't bite. Should I bring you closer so you can befriend it?” Tangyue could not stop giggling.

”No, no thanks. I'll let you worship your own god. I'm an outsider, I'm sure that your god doesn't like my accent,” said Mo Fan sternly.

”Alright, I had my fun. It indeed lives here at the West Lake, but you won't find it even if you dug three meters deep into the bottom,” said Tangyue.

”Why is that?”
