Ethan was still cultivating in his room when all of the sudden a shadow appeared and from within Rowan walked out," My Lord, the serpent king on the Darkness Mountain has been killed." he said with lingering fear. "How?" Ethan asked.
"It is not made by a human hand. The whole area around the cave and inside it is a mess. I found the snake in a gruesome condition; it looked like something devoured its stomach intestines." Rowan replied.
"Mhmm" Ethan murmured as he thought. "My Lord, if I may. Something capable of killing a rank 3 late-stage beast and without us knowing when. Surely it can't be good news?"
"Indeed. But it may not be so dire for the time being. Send out tall the shadows, I want the whole kingdom searched for this beast. No one is to engage in combat, only have surveillance on it. Quick!" Ethan commanded sternly.
"Yes!" Rowan bowed and disappeared into the shadows once more.
