Chapter 126 Black Snake
A large piece of red carpet danced wildly in front of Xu Mu, and the red tongue of the black snake was even bigger than him.

The totem black snake did not attack the two of them, but kept staring at the totem vessel worn by Xu Mu.

At this moment it felt very confused and didn't understand why this totem vessel looked so strange.

Totem vessels reflect the condition of the totem animal to some extent.

Although the vessel on Xu Mu's body is in a state of resonance, indicating that the totem beast is still alive, but at the same time it seems to be gradually returning to its normal state. This totem beast seems to be dead?
It was not sure. If it were to describe it in a more vivid way, the black snake felt that the totem vessel on Xu Mu's body was like a mother who had begun giving birth.

But halfway through, the fetus was suddenly stuffed back into the stomach. This state was neither completely resonant nor completely closed, making it feel very confused and puzzled.

"It seems to be very interested in your totem vessel." Lingling noticed that the black snake's gaze was always on Xu Mu's wrist.

"Maybe it's because it hasn't met its own kind for hundreds of years, and suddenly it sensed my totem vessel, thinking it was a member of the same kind, so it got excited and wanted to come over and say hello." Xu Mu explained.

He injected magic power into the totem vessel, causing it to burst out with a burst of blue lightning. Black Snake witnessed this scene, and the confusion in his eyes became even greater. This thing is a totem vessel for sure, but is the totem beast dead or alive?
Lingling reminded: "It can't stay in the city for too long. It will be difficult if a wizard comes. You have to find a way to get it back to West Lake."

After hearing this, Xu Mu leaned against the scales of the black snake with some dissatisfaction, muttering: "But I'm not familiar with it, how can I get it to go back?"

It must be said that the scales of the totem black snake feel really good to the touch, they are cool. If they could be made into bamboo mats, they would definitely be very comfortable to use as mattresses in summer.

"A wizard is coming!"

Just as Lingling was about to say something, Xu Mu noticed several figures approaching quickly. They were able to fly and were extremely fast. They were obviously high-level magicians.

Even Xu Mu, a high-level wizard, could sense someone flying towards this side, not to mention the Totem Black Snake whose strength reached the monarch level.

The totem black snake also knew that it could not stay in the city for too long, otherwise it would cause panic. It looked at Xu Mu carefully again, and memorized the appearance of this human deeply in its mind. Then it flashed and sank into the West Lake like a dragon entering the sea, disappearing without a trace.

Only the spreading ripples on the lake and the gradually dissipating mist remained, proving that it had just appeared here.

Seeing that the totem black snake had disappeared into the depths of West Lake, Xu Mu quickly took advantage of the thick fog and left the scene with Lingling.

When the mages who could fly hurried to the scene, they found that the thick fog had dissipated, leaving only some confused people.

"The thick fog just now was indeed caused by the Totem Black Snake, right?" a wizard said with a frown.

"There is no doubt that there is no other explanation for this to cause such a big commotion in the center of the city!" said another wizard affirmatively.

"It seems that Councillor Zhu Meng's decision is correct. Last time it poisoned two hunters. If we hadn't shown up in time this time, who knows how many innocent people would have been harmed by this beast." A female mage said solemnly and firmly.

"You guys go check on these people to see if they are injured or poisoned. I will report what happened here to Councillor Zhu Meng." The wizard who spoke first ordered.

"understand!"

……

Xu Mu hid in the corner and eavesdropped on their conversation. He couldn't help but complain: "How come these people are so stupid after practicing to this level?"

Not to mention a monarch-level creature, even if it is a commander-level existence, one drop of venom is enough to kill thousands of people. It would be fine if those people in high positions pretended to be ignorant, but why do these people believe in this statement so firmly?

"Zhu Meng, he is a member of the Supreme Tribunal and a super-class mage. Currently, he is implementing a strategic plan to eliminate potential safety hazards in various cities. It seems that this person is the one who intends to deal with the Totem Black Snake."

Lingling has successfully looked up Zhu Meng's basic information through her computer and made an accurate judgment.

"There are many different opinions about Zhu Meng on the Internet. Some say he is a brainless and reckless old stubborn man who refuses to listen to advice, but more than 90% of people think he is a legislator who sincerely works for the welfare of the people. His reputation is quite good." Lingling continued. "That's true." Xu Mu nodded deeply, expressing his agreement.

Although Zhu Meng was cunning and desperate in the Black Snake incident, everything he did was out of consideration for the people.

During the catastrophe in the ancient capital, Zhu Meng, as a member of parliament from the imperial capital, was the first to step forward and take responsibility, leading the attack on the Guiling monarch.

Even when the ancient king was about to revive and the ancient capital was facing the situation of being unable to defend, some high-ranking officials chose to retreat, but Zhu Meng still held his ground and refused to retreat.

You can call people vicious, but you cannot slander their hearts.

Zhu Meng's deeds are too numerous to mention, and they can all be traced on the Internet.

Xu Mu took a quick look and made a summary of Zhu Meng's character. Whenever disaster and misfortune struck, this congressman would always step forward without hesitation and be the first to rush forward.

This is something that other MPs who sit in high positions and do nothing but talk big cannot do.

This courage has made Zhu Meng his current status, and also made Zhu Meng himself scoff at the claim that totem beasts are friendly to humans.

Looking back to the past, humans actually tried to kill totem beasts behind their backs. Although they ultimately failed, the totem beasts were also on the verge of extinction because of the subsequent incident with the sirens. How could totem beasts be friendly to humans now?

In Zhu Meng's eyes, the people of the Totem Guardian Clan are just a group of conservative guys. The idea that totems are the patron saints of mankind is simply nonsense.

I don't know how many years these sayings have been circulating.

The most critical thing is that there is a monarch-level creature in the city, which is neither a summoned beast nor a contracted beast. Once the totem black snake goes crazy, the death toll will begin to increase from the million base, and then it will be too late for rescue and retreat.

In Zhu Meng's initial hidden danger strategic plan, he did not intend to kill the black snake, but just wanted to drive it out of Hangzhou City.

After all, the Totem Black Snake is a monarch-level creature. Once a fight breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous. If it is driven into the wild to survive, it can also pose a threat to other demon tribes.

But if he had the chance to kill the Totem Black Snake, he would never show mercy.

……

At night, in the hotel.

"Okay, I understand. I'll come to see you tomorrow." Xu Mu nodded, and then said to Hei Yu on the other end of the phone: "Is Zhu Meng going to take action against Xuan Snake so soon?"

"It seems that you already know that it is Zhu Meng who is going to attack the Black Snake." Hei Yu's voice came from the phone.

"I heard it today at West Lake. I was there at the time." Xu Mu explained, and then asked: "With your strength, you should be able to defeat Zhu Meng easily, right? Why don't you get rid of him?"

"The matter of the Totem Black Snake is ultimately a factional struggle within the Inquisition. Whether it's the conservatives or the radicals, they are all for the people. It's just that they have different philosophies and can't convince each other."

"And if a fight really breaks out, with Zhu Meng's connections, he can call over a dozen or twenty super-class mages." Hei Yu said helplessly.

Does this mean he doesn't want to take direct action against Zhu Meng? Although Zhu Meng's cultivation strength is mediocre, his connections are quite powerful.

Moreover, as a member of parliament, if he dared to take action against Zhu Meng, it would be equivalent to joining the Black Church.
