Chapter 125 Totem Black Snake
"You? Something happened in the Trial Council?" Xu Mu's brows immediately furrowed when he heard this.

"It's related to the Inquisition, but it's not the main reason."

Hei Yu sighed and did not continue discussing the topic of the trial. Instead, he asked about the totem beast.

"Have you heard of totem beasts? They were once the rulers of this land and the patron saints of ancient humans. I wonder if the curriculum at Pearl Academy covers this topic."

"I know a little bit." Xu Mu nodded in response.

"It's good that you know about it. Let me explain in advance that totem beasts are not just legendary creatures, they really exist and have never been extinct. In Hangzhou, there is a totem beast named Black Snake that has been guarding the city from being invaded by other demons." Hei Yu nodded slightly and continued.

"The existence of the Totem Black Snake is no secret to Hangzhou. The city's top leaders are aware of its existence, and three different factions have formed around it: conservatives, radicals, and neutrals."

"So, you came here this time because of the totem black snake, right?" Xu Mu stroked his chin lightly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that the totem black snake was still alive and well. Just now he was worried that the black snake might have met with an accident.

"That's right. Tang Yue, my teacher and I are all conservatives. We believe that the Black Snake will not threaten humans. But some strange things have happened in Hangzhou recently, and someone wants to take the opportunity to murder the Black Snake."

"We want to transfer the Black Snake, but we can't find a suitable person, so we have to come to you." Heiyu said helplessly.

The internal problems of the Inquisition have not been resolved yet, and now a radical old stubborn has shown up. There is even a traitor among the totem guardians. It is really a turbulent time.

"The reward for helping to transfer the black snake is very generous, right?" Xu Mu blinked and asked curiously.

"My teacher is the presiding judge. He has collected a lot of good things over the years. As long as you do your job well, you will definitely benefit from it afterwards!" Hei Yu promised solemnly.

"I'll accept this commission." Xu Mu said with shining eyes.

……

Hangzhou!

The next day, Xu Mu and Lingling arrived in Hangzhou by train, while Hei Yu had returned to Hangzhou the night before to treat his injuries and should still be recuperating in the hospital.

Hei Yu was seriously injured, which could seriously injure a super-class magician. It was hard to imagine what Hei Yu had experienced when he came to find him.

Two figures, one big and one small, came to the bank of West Lake and found a long stone bench to sit down.

Hangzhou in autumn is neither as scorching as in the south nor as cold as in the north. Instead, it has a pleasant temperature and gentle breeze, like a gradual aesthetic painting, delicately and slowly revealing the gentleness of the season.

“Any findings?”

Xu Mu turned his head and looked at Lingling beside him. He saw Lingling staring intently at the mini computer on her thigh. Her fingers kept tapping the keyboard, as if she was searching for some important information.

After a while, Lingling raised her head, shook her cute little head, and said, "Not yet. According to the clues provided by Heiyu, the two bodies were indeed poisoned to death, but from the current situation, there are no obvious signs of poison in other places."

"Even if there is only one drop of monarch-level venom, after being diluted a hundred times, it can cause hundreds of people to be poisoned and die. It is impossible for the other party not to understand such a simple truth. Even if we find it, it will be useless. The other party is deliberately trying to attack the black snake."

Xu Mu frowned and thought for a moment before he slowly spoke.

"It would be nice if the big guy could show up once."

Xu Mu sighed, thinking that if the black snake could follow his instructions, he could take advantage of the fact that the black snake had not yet entered the molting period and had enough strength to directly attack and find out the black hand behind the scenes. "Xu Mu..." Lingling's voice was a little strange, "Your wrist is glowing."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mu immediately looked down at his right wrist, only to see a faint blue light emitting from there, as if some power was causing it to resonate.

"Hey, why is there suddenly such a thick fog?" someone shouted in surprise.

"Let's go back quickly. The fog is too heavy and blocks our vision. We can't even see the road clearly." Another person responded, with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

By the West Lake, the originally peaceful scenery was suddenly shrouded by thick fog.

The fog was very light at first, but gradually became thicker. In this strange atmosphere, the totem vessel on Xu Mu's wrist began to flash a dazzling light.

"Depend on!"

Xu Mu couldn't help but swear. In broad daylight, Xuanshe, do you really have to show up? Are you afraid that Zhu Meng and the others can't find an excuse to deal with you?

You've been a stay-at-home snake for so long, wouldn't it be better to just continue to stay there quietly?
"Lingling, quickly hack into the nearby surveillance cameras!" Xu Mu shouted to Lingling in a panic.

"There's no signal around here."

Lingling's little face was full of solemnity. When the white fog appeared, the surrounding signals were greatly disturbed and became intermittent. When the white fog became thicker, the signal was completely cut off.

"coming!"

Xu Mu looked towards the direction of West Lake vigilantly. He keenly sensed that a powerful aura was approaching rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a huge figure leaping out from the lake, and the surface of the West Lake was splashed with high water by the flying figure.

Water splashed everywhere, some of which headed straight for Xu Mu and Ling Ling. Xu Mu reacted quickly, and hurriedly concentrated his mind to form an invisible wall, successfully blocking the splashing water and preventing the two of them from getting soaked.

"Is this the Totem Black Snake?"

Lingling's eyes were full of shock. Although she had heard her sister mention that there was an extremely powerful totem beast in Hangzhou before, she was still shocked by its huge body and majestic snake patterns when she saw it with her own eyes.

The huge body surrounded Xu Mu and Lingling in circles, and finally, a huge snake head slowly rose up.

The snake's head was large enough to build a basketball court on it. Its cold triangular eyes flashed brightly as it carefully observed Xu Mu and Lingling.

Its gaze was mainly focused on Xu Mu. It only glanced casually at Ling Ling, and then locked onto the totem vessel on Xu Mu's wrist.

Although this totemic vessel is somewhat unusual, it can be clearly felt that the vessel is in an activated state.

The totem beast behind the totem vessel is still alive, and this human is its guardian.

“Gah!”

As the huge snake head slowly approached, a large red carpet danced wildly in front of Xu Mu. Fortunately, no venom leaked out, otherwise Xu Mu was worried that he would be corroded to death by the venom.
