Chapter 87 - Running away with the snake

Mo Fan listened to Tang Zhong's words, but he felt that Tang Zhong was deliberately saying this for Luo Mian to hear.

Although Tang Zhong could not be sure what relationship the traitor had with Luo Mian, it was still the same old saying: who in that position would be a fool?

After leaving the meeting room, Teacher Tang Yue said, "I'll go find the Totem Black Snake."

"I'll go with you," Mo Fan said.

"Ah?"

Teacher Tang Yue was stunned.

"No, you silly girl, you don't really think your uncle was telling the truth, do you?" Mo Fan looked at Teacher Tang Yue speechlessly.

This woman's brain was also affected by the waves.

Even if the Totem Black Snake's shedding period arrived, it would not be affected by any High-Level Mage. One must know that with its scales protecting it, Super Level magic was the only way to possibly harm it.

"The Totem Black Snake is a totem, and even more so, a monarch-level existence. Do you think a High-Level Mage poses any threat to a Monarch?" Mo Fan asked.

"But... my uncle..."

"Your uncle was just deliberately saying that to the man with the goatee."

"You mean, Luo Mian??"

Teacher Tang Yue was also a bit slow to realize, but Luo Mian had just been protecting the Totem Black Snake.

"Let's go, the truth will always come out."

Teacher Tang Yue originally wanted to understand more, but since Mo Fan said that, she also felt that the immediate priority was to move the Totem Black Snake.

Leaving the meeting room, Mo Fan and Teacher Tang Yue immediately rushed to the Three Ponds Mirroring the Moon. Upon arriving, Teacher Tang Yue held a black pearl in her hand. Tang Zhong called it a totem pearl, a special vessel that could contain totem creatures.

The space within the totem pearl was very large, allowing the Sky Serpent to rest inside for a short time.

The totem pearl was actually a type of spatial artifact, but most spatial artifacts could not hold living creatures. This kind of totem pearl, after modification, could have life energy injected into it, meaning if there was enough life energy inside the totem pearl, the Sky Serpent could stay there.

If the life energy ran out, the Totem Black Snake would have to come out, otherwise it would directly suffocate in that dead space.

Naturally, such a thing was difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

Although Zhu Meng arranged for people to guard Tang Zhong and the powerful individuals under him, he did not know that Tang Zhong had already made plans.

"Big guy, that Zhu Meng wants to deal with you again. I'll take you away now, take you to a safe place to recuperate... Big guy, can you hear me?" Teacher Tang Yue jumped to the Three Ponds Mirroring the Moon and whispered to the water.

Mo Fan, meanwhile, stood quietly beside her.

If it weren't for his understanding of the Totem Black Snake and the knowledge that totems would not harm humans, he really wouldn't dare to stay here.

One must know, just seeing the Totem Black Snake in the newspaper, he felt its immense deterrent power!

"Gurgle gurgle~~~"

As Teacher Tang Yue's voice fell, the water began to churn, and from the intensity of the churning, one could tell that the thing emerging would be enormous.

Indeed, beneath the silver lake water illuminated by the moonlight, an astonishing black shadow slowly emerged. Mo Fan simply couldn't believe that this small body of water could hide the Sky Serpent's skyscraper-like body.

There was clearly a formation here, otherwise the Totem Black Snake's body could not be accommodated here.

The black shadow became clearer and clearer, already breaking through the water's surface.

The massive snake head finally appeared, its smooth snake body shimmering under the moonlight.

The moment the Totem Black Snake appeared, Teacher Tang Yue's charming face was full of smiles, without any fear. She even reached out to stroke the Totem Black Snake's head. The Totem Black Snake's head was at least as big as a hundred-square-meter house, and its flat nostrils were like small caves to humans, not to mention its wide snake mouth. When its long forked tongue came out, it was enough to scare living people to death!

While Teacher Tang Yue jumped on, Mo Fan did not move.

Although totems do not harm humans, it's better to be safe than sorry. What if he jumped on and it misunderstood him?

Although Mo Fan didn't move, he saw another side of Teacher Tang Yue, as if she were a little girl in front of an elder. Hmm, a completely different scene from when she called him 'Dad'~ In front of the Totem Black Snake, she was like a lively little girl, exuding youthful vitality, joy, and innocence.

After a while of intimacy with the Totem Black Snake, Teacher Tang Yue finally introduced Mo Fan, "This brat is my student, hmm, a disobedient bad student..."

When introducing Mo Fan, Teacher Tang Yue was a little shy. It was almost as if she was bringing her son-in-law to her old father...

The Totem Black Snake turned its head, its lantern-like eyes gazing at Mo Fan, and its forked tongue flicked out, seemingly as a greeting.

Mo Fan then reminded, "Let it enter the totem pearl, and then take it away from here."

Although he felt that taking it away would be of no use, before getting the Eagle Red Grass, Mo Fan couldn't possibly tell Teacher Tang Yue not to take it away and wait here for Zhu Meng and the others' lightning magic formation, could he?

However, to pick the Eagle Red Grass, they first had to wait for the White Demon Eagle flock to move out. If they didn't plan to act, even if he took the initiative, it would be useless.

After loading the Totem Black Snake, Mo Fan and Teacher Tang Yue set off along the route she had already planned. She intended to take the Sky Serpent to a small town called Baitown on the border of Hangzhou's safe zone.

Baitown was located at the westernmost part of Hangzhou, quite a distance from Hangzhou. On Baitown's White Mountain, there was a hidden cave that only the patriarchs of previous totem guardians knew about, and it was used to protect totems during extraordinary times.

The journey to White Mountain was neither too far nor too close. What Mo Fan had to do was escort Teacher Tang Yue and the Sky Serpent into the Thousand Caves of White Mountain.

The Thousand Caves of White Mountain were interconnected, mountains linked to mountains, an unexplored inner mountain world. The Sky Serpent would be safest resting there. Even if Zhu Meng's people found the entrance, it would be useless; the labyrinthine caves would ensure Zhu Meng's subordinates would enter but never return.

Baitown was originally a post station. As a transportation hub for various safe zone fortresses, it gradually transformed from a post station village into a town.

Towns located near safe zones and military fortresses are often mixed, with merchants, Hunter Mages, Guardian Mages, Magic Association members, and students on training...

Normally, Baitown's defenses were not too strict; it could even be considered a black market not governed by any force. Whatever treasures Hunter Mages obtained outside, or personal gains of the guards, would mostly be traded here.

However, today, it was being strictly inspected.

The reason was that the people here had contracted a strange illness.

Although they knew how to solve it, it was still the same old saying: if the White Demon Eagles didn't leave their nest, even knowing how to solve it would be useless.

To go to the White Demon Eagle's territory to pick Eagle Red Grass and return safely, even he, in his demonic state, could not do it.

The White Demon Eagle was not a small tribe; it was a rather large one!

The Totem Black Snake did indeed repel them with its own power, but that was because Hangzhou was its home ground. Hangzhou was not their territory, so the Silver Sky Ruler would not fight too hard. But leaving Hangzhou and going to their territory, even a full-health totem might not be able to retreat unscathed.
