As a relatively backward coastal city, there was nothing special about it. There were no famous tourist attractions, and even the beach couldn't be developed.
Even though it was summer, there were only a handful of tourists.
However, the video posted on a famous website attracted close to ten thousand people in just a week.
The reason was that a week ago, someone had taken a first-hand video of the shadow that covered the right half of Yolu City, and even the surrounding sea. The video showed a portion of the shadow's appearance.
The location of the video was a watchtower on a cliff by the coast. It was cloudy that day, and the video quality was a little poor, but it captured the main point.
The true appearance of the shadow seemed to be a huge bird.
Only the word 'seemed' could be used to describe it, as the video only showed a portion of the wings in the clouds, which led to the idea that the shadow might be a bird.
If the shadow was really a bird, then based on its size, it would be the largest bird in the six continents. In terms of size alone, it would be more than eighteen streets ahead of the world's second largest bird.
Among the ten thousand people that flooded into Yolu City, a portion of them were hunters, and most of them were Phantom Beast Hunters. They were the first people to rush to Yolu City after seeing the video.
According to various investigations in the surrounding area, the shadow disappeared in the sky above the sea outside Yolu City. No one knew where it went, or how it disappeared with its unprecedented size.
After a week of speculation, the unknown bird was still a mystery.
No matter what other people were after, the person who took the video made a lot of money with this first-hand information. It was inevitable that many people would come to visit and ask about what happened when the video was taken that day.
As the popularity grew, Yolu City also became lively. The local government heard the news and made some last-minute responses. For example, the only narrow food street had a few brand-new trash cans, and the trash that was usually everywhere became scarce.
More and more people came to find out the truth, and the local news interview was also dug up. As a result, the old man with the binoculars became a hot topic.
Because the content of the video was related to the old man's words, people who were interested were willing to believe the old man's words, including the words of the man standing on the bird's head.
However, the people who wanted to get more information from the old man didn't know that the old man was just bragging. They just didn't expect him to really brag so much.
From the old man's point of view, Yoru City was a place where one didn't have to take responsibility for speaking nonsense. However, he never thought that his nonsense would attract the attention of the masses.
He didn't panic, nor did he give himself away. Instead, he used his thick skin to further whitewash what he said in front of the camera a week ago, in exchange for money after money for drinks.
At that time, he thought that as long as he had a good tongue, he would be able to make something out of a lie. He might even be able to get some money for the wine. He was so happy that he didn't care whether it was a farce or not.
Some people were willing to believe that there was a person standing on top of the bird, while others were unwilling to believe it. Even if there were two extremes of opinion, it did not stop more people from being interested.
On the coastline of Yoru City, there were rows of tents that were spaced apart. When the sun set in the west and night fell, the lights in the tents lit up one after another. Looking down from above, it looked like a group of sky lanterns that had taken root in the earth.
Da Baboon was an experienced Phantom Beast Hunter. As a Hunter who had once served as an examiner for the Hunter Test, he was a member of the association that Nitro had high hopes for. Although he wasn't the best, he was still one of the best.
Every discovery of a new mirage beast was a great achievement for the Mirage Beast Hunters. As a member of the Mirage Beast Hunters, Da Baboon naturally wouldn't be absent. He had also arrived at Yolu City early.
He set up a hot pot outside the tent. The fire was burning fiercely, and the soup in the pot kept boiling. The flames wantonly pounced on him, dispelling the chill of the night.
Ding ding.
His phone rang.
Da Baboon was shocked. He immediately put down the spoon and took out his phone. After answering the call, he asked, "How is it? Did you find anything? "
"No."
On the other end of the phone, there was a deep male voice that was full of energy.
Da Baboon heard this and his expression collapsed. He sighed, "If even you can't find any clues, then this clue must be fake."
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment. Then, he said, "A giant creature that can fly so high is an amphibious creature. Only 'now' you would believe it."
When the male voice spoke, he purposely emphasized the word 'now' to remind Da Baboon that his current state of mind wasn't right. In order to find the truth, he was even willing to believe in a ridiculous clue that went against common sense.
Da Baboon understood, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he was filled with a glimmer of hope. Perhaps his friend was subjective and didn't try his best to investigate? If that was the case, then wouldn't there be room to continue investigating?
"Mo Laowu, are you serious about investigating?" He held onto a glimmer of hope and threw out his last question.
"What do you think?" Mo Laowu didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked a question of his own.
Da Baboon was slightly stunned. He thought of Mo Laowu's character. After agreeing to his request, regardless of whether this matter was reliable or not, he would definitely do his best to help.
Thinking of this, he had a look of disappointment. He muttered to himself, "This doesn't make sense. Then where did it go?"
"Perhaps that unknown phantom beast has always been above the clouds. That's why no one has discovered its whereabouts," Mo Laowu said.
"Hmm?" Da Baboon seemed to have thought of something. He asked, "If that's the case, then why did it lower its altitude above Yolu City?"
"How would I know?" Mo Laowu said helplessly, "Anyway, I've tried my best. If you have any more questions related to the ocean, you can come find me again. I'm hanging up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the call was hung up.
Da Baboon sighed softly and put away his phone.
Mo Laowu was a one-star ocean hunter and his friend. He had asked Mo Laowu to help investigate because he had received a clue from a fishing boat.
That clue might have something to do with the giant bird in the sky above Yolu, although it sounded unbelievable.
Would such a huge bird dive into the sea for a long time without resurfacing?
If it was possible, then it must be a strange amphibious creature that humans had never seen before.
Da Baboon fell into deep thought. He kept organizing the information he had collected during this period of time. For a moment, he forgot about the hot soup over the fire.
"It's a pity that the soup is ruined."
Suddenly, a clear male voice came from beside him.
Da Baboon was shocked. His muscles immediately tensed up.
