Chapter 96: 093 A Walking Jiao Dragon? Are You Two Here to Joke Around? (4th update! Asking for subscriptions! Votes for the month! Bookmark requests!)

Online, major news and short-video platforms started reporting on the sudden torrential rain, mudslides, and flood events in Wanjiang City.

The video showed residents near the Wanjiang City Reservoir displaced.

Many were separated from their families.

Netizens from Dragon Country expressed their support.

From all over Dragon Country, teams and supplies were sent to help Wanjiang City through this tough time.

Online, the discussions about the torrential rain in Wanjiang City were in full swing.

“This rain, it came too suddenly; no one was prepared.”

“Yeah, it’s really strange. Normally, it barely rains in Wanjiang City this season. How could there be such a sudden and heavy downpour?”

“Just yesterday, the weather forecast said Wanjiang City would be clear and sunny for the next few days; this rain came without any warning.”

“It can only be described as a natural disaster, something unavoidable. I donated money anyway, not much, just a hundred thousand. It’s the thought that counts!”

“Holy cow, big spender! Donating a hundred thousand! Unlike me, I only donated a hundred. Life’s tough enough as it is, but I figured it’s the thought that counts.”

“A hundred is already great; everyone’s situation is different, whether you donate more or less, it’s the thought that counts. As long as we in Dragon Country unite, we can definitely overcome this difficulty.”

In these moments of crisis, people from everywhere come together in unity.

Helping each other, they can naturally overcome difficulties.

However, just as people across Dragon Country thought this sudden torrential rain was a natural disaster,

In Wanjiang City itself,

Inside a temporary relief shelter,

Li Qigou, helping support an elderly villager, spoke earnestly to the disaster relief workers who had come to help Wanjiang City.

“Comrade, believe us, we’re telling the truth! This is not just rain! Not a natural disaster; it’s a giant serpent! We really saw it!

That snake, it crawled out from the reservoir and towards the valley!”

Listening to the old villager’s superstitious words,

The disaster relief workers didn’t believe a word.

One man said, “Old man, stop joking around. It’s the modern age; we don’t hold onto those feudal superstitions anymore. In this world, are there really such things as giant serpents? They’re just natural phenomena.

Besides, snakes have a lifespan of only ten to twenty years at most. How could there be one like you describe, a python so huge that one eye is as large as a window? Isn’t that a bit of a stretch?”

It’s not that the man didn’t believe.

Ever since the various supernatural incidents with Qingyun Mountain’s Heavenly Master,

Many people started to believe the existence of supernatural powers in this world.

But the thing is, what this old man said was too far-fetched.

According to his description, a snake caused the torrential downpour.

And more precisely, a snake as large as a small hill.

This serpent had practiced for a thousand years and now sought to undergo Dragon Transformation.

It is why it crawled out of the reservoir, invoking Heavenly Thunder and heavy rain, causing misery to the people.

According to the old man, the python had already left the reservoir and moved towards the valley.

Someone even said that just the eyes of the great python were as large as the windows of a regular house.

In size, it was so vast that one couldn’t see its full figure at a glance.

The disaster relief worker couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

In this world, how could such a large python possibly exist!

Such creations are probably only found in novels and comics.

As for the giant serpent, that’s something concocted by ancient imaginations.

It’s 9022 already; who still believes in these things!

According to modern research, the known snake species on Blue Star.

The smaller species have an average lifespan of only 1-5 years.

Medium-sized snakes live about 5-12 years.

To live up to 25 years, within the Snake Clan, they’re considered exceptionally long-lived.

As for a giant python as big as a small hill like what the villagers near Wanjiang City Reservoir described,

The disaster relief workers couldn’t even fathom it.

What kind of water monster would that be?

It simply surpasses the limits of any species and rubs scientific theories into the ground.

No wonder he didn’t believe, it was indeed hard to accept.

And as for the giant serpent…

How should it be put?

Although such legends have existed since ancient times,

No one had actually seen a real giant serpent.

No such incident has occurred since the founding of the country.

Naturally, no one believed they existed.

Seeing the disaster relief worker not believing him, the old man insisted, “Comrade, I’m really not lying to you, the giant snake is real! Not just me, many people in our village saw it!”

The disaster relief worker, realizing he couldn’t argue with the old man, could only say, “Old man, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but you’re just saying you saw such a large python without any proof. Do you have any evidence to back it up?”

Pushing Li Qigou forward, the old man claimed, “I have evidence! This boy is a shepherd from our village; he was the first one to see the giant python. It even ate three of his sheep!”

Li Qigou nodded gravely, “Yes! It ate my sheep; I saw it with my own eyes.”

The disaster relief worker, looking at the two of them, smacked his lips.

You two…

Are you here to crack jokes or what?

I asked you for evidence, at least show me a photo or something if you want to prove it.

Yet here you are, corroborating each other’s story; isn’t this just a joke?

This kid even claims the water monster ate his sheep.

How could the disaster relief worker know whether it was true or not?

You say it ate them and that’s it?

Those unaware might think the kid is trying to scam some sheep.

Disaster relief worker: “Alright, alright, the two of you, I got it. We’ll talk about this giant serpent later. I need to get to work now, please go rest in the tent over there! That’ll be all!”
