Only after a long while did everyone recover their senses.
But almost all of them were so terrified that they felt drained. Jiang Yu even collapsed onto the deck.
"What the hell was that thing?!" Zhao Manyan was close to losing it.
He and Mo Fan had flown into the sky out of boredom earlier, which was how they had been the first to spot that enormous dark shadow.
"That was terrifying. I thought I was well-read enough to recognize any demon beast at a glance, but that shadow... honestly, I suddenly felt like a frog at the bottom of a well. I knew nothing." Jiang Yu shakily stood up and looked around at the silent group.
"I don't know... that thing was as big as a Monarch-Level creature. I think this is one of the reasons our mentors sent us out to gain experience—to open our eyes to the world." Nan Jue was still shaken.
"But Monarch-Level creatures have incredibly powerful auras. That shadow didn't give off any aura at all. We don't even know whether it was a living creature," Mo Fan said.
At that, Guan Yu scoffed beside him. "You talk like you know so much about Monarch-Level creatures. As far as I know, they're absurdly powerful. Hiding their auras is hardly difficult for them."
Guan Yu had never liked Mo Fan.
For one thing, Mo Fan was the only one of the National Team's ten official members who came from an ordinary background.
That alone would have been tolerable, but the bastard was foulmouthed and utterly vulgar. Where was the dignity or noble spirit befitting someone who represented his country???
Most importantly, the bastard's relationship with Mu Ningxue, the girl Guan Yu longed for, had always been suspiciously ambiguous!
He had even deliberately provoked Guan Yu
