Chapter 137 Searching for the Totem Snake
Zhu Meng walked out of the tent and found that except for Mr. Lu, the other doctors were not present. They must have gone to make the antidote, and he didn't notice this just now.
"Mr. Zhu Meng, I'm sorry for deceiving you." Mr. Lu stepped forward to apologize.
Zhu Meng waved his hand to stop the other party from apologizing, saying that Mr. Lu was not lying to him.
Xu Mu did not give the Eagle Red Grass at the beginning. He only gave a few plants to develop the antidote. But before he came, he heard that the second batch of patients only had one day left, so he took out all the Eagle Red Grass to make the antidote.
Anyway, the plague has been resolved. Zhu Meng looked up at the dark night sky and asked the court mage beside him: "Is there any news about the trainee judges who were sent out?"
"The judge has discovered the black snake's tracks and is stalling for time," the court wizard replied.
"Yes." Zhu Meng nodded, and then asked about the battle situation in the West Fortress: "How is the battle between the West Fortress and the White Magic Eagle going?"
"No trace of the commander-level demon has been found so far. The Western Fortress is safe for the time being." The court mage reported.
"That's good." Zhu Meng nodded slightly.
This morning, the West Fortress was attacked by the White Devil Eagles of Xiling. They came with great force and refused to retreat even though many of them died. Many reinforcements have already been sent to the West Fortress from Hangzhou.
The White Demon Eagles have a violent temper and a strong sense of territory. Even if a commander or monarch flies through their airspace, they will be attacked immediately and the fight will not stop until the death.
Even if a lost slave bird passes by, it will be met with hostility. They are ferocious and united, and are the biggest hidden danger to the west of Hangzhou City.
Over the past few decades, the White Demon Eagles have never invaded human territory. It seems that as long as their territory is not touched, they will behave themselves.
The reason why the White Demon Eagle flew out of the territory and attacked the Western Fortress was because of the source of the plague.
The source of the plague is the Lingzhua Plague Rat, which is the White Magic Eagle's favorite delicacy. The White Magic Eagle can also transform the diseased blood in the Lingzhua Plague Rat into blood that enhances its own strength.
More than 10,000 people in Hangzhou have been infected with the plague. In the eyes of the White Demon Eagle, this city is like a peach feast that is both delicious and can boost strength. If you come here and eat a few people, you can go back with greatly increased strength.
"It's bad, Senator. The West Fortress has been attacked by several commander-level four-clawed magic eagles. The situation is critical and the fortress may be lost soon!" A wizard hurriedly reported to Zhu Meng.
"What?!" Zhu Meng opened his eyes wide in shock.
Commander-level monsters are extremely difficult to deal with in themselves, let alone those that can fly. The existing military force of the Western Fortress is simply unable to resist them.
"Convey my instructions immediately, quickly summon all the palace guards, and rush to the Western Fortress for reinforcement!" Zhu Meng gave the order decisively.
The palace guard at the side asked: "How to deal with the black snake?"
Zhu Meng responded calmly: "The black snake is currently in the molting stage. Even if it intends to launch a counterattack against us, it will wait until the molting period is over before taking action."
"The first priority is to ensure the safety of the West Fortress. If the West Fortress falls, the White Devil Eagle will invade Hangzhou City within five hours."
Zhu Meng left. He came with a team and led the team away, taking away several high-ranking officials of the Trial Council including Tang Zhong.
……
Inside the tent!
"Lingling, have you found Luo Mian?" Xu Mu walked into the tent, looked at Lingling with a serious expression on her face, and asked.
Lingling sighed and replied, "Since Vice President Wang Yi committed suicide an hour ago, Luo Mian has disappeared without a trace."
"This old dog runs quite fast." Xu Mu sneered. He remembered that Luo Mian was a super-class shadow mage, so it was normal for him to run fast.
"I don't know where the black snake is." Xu Mu was a little worried. Although Hangzhou City had many super-class mages, he knew that these people alone could not fight against the Silver Dome Lord who was a great monarch!
Only by relying on the power of the Totem Black Snake can the Silver Dome Lord be repelled and the city be protected, but the Totem Black Snake is undergoing a molting process and it will take about half a month to complete the process.
Lingzhua Plague Rat is not only a delicacy for the White Magic Eagle, but also a favorite food for the Black Snake. The problematic blood potion can accelerate the molting process of the Black Snake.
The problematic blood potion is all on him, but the problem is that he doesn’t know where the black snake is!
“I really should have installed a positioning device on Mo Fan.” Xu Mu rubbed his brows.
"Brother Bao, can you work harder? You and Black Snake are brothers, you have to play a role."
Xu Mu looked down at the totem vessel on his wrist and wondered if this thing had the ability to sense the totem beast.
He tried to inject magic power into the vessel, only to see it emit a faint blue light. He paced back and forth in the tent and found that the further north he went, the stronger the blue light became.
"What are you doing?" Lingling looked at Xu Mu pacing back and forth in the tent curiously.
"I'm looking for the totem black snake." Xu Mu explained.
"Did you find it?" Lingling asked.
"We should have found it. Do you want to go take a look?" Xu Mu said uncertainly.
He also didn't know whether the totem black snake was in the north, or whether there was some thunder-related treasure attracting the totem vessel in the north.
……
The mountain range to the north of Baizhen, named Baishan, is characterized by its composition of sun-baked rocks. There is sparse vegetation on the mountain, and it is mainly composed of continuous rugged rocks, forming a natural barrier that separates the human territory from the demon realm.
At the foot of the White Mountain is a vast plain covered with lush tall grass but no trees.
When the night breeze blows over the land, the tall grass rolls like waves, extending all the way to the bottom of the mountain, creating a magnificent sight.
Xu Mu unfolded his winged magic tool and flew in the sky with the little Loli Lingling. It was indeed much more convenient to have the winged magic tool. The speed of flying in the sky was much faster than that of several people walking on the ground.
"Look at those figures. They seem to be members of the Inquisition?" Lingling pointed at the figures below and asked.
"They should have been summoned by Zhu Meng to hunt down Mo Fan." Xu Mu answered affirmatively.
He adjusted the flying direction and flew towards the people on the ground with Lingling.
"The other side is two shadow mages." said a trainee judge.
"Why don't we retreat? The palace guards have already returned to the West Fortress for reinforcement. Even if we catch them, it will be difficult for us to fight against the Totem Black Snake." A female trainee judge suggested.
"Go back, are you kidding? Once we catch them, we will be able to be promoted to official judges, and will definitely be able to break through to higher levels in the future. Don't you want to become high-level mages..." another trainee judge shouted excitedly.
But before he could finish his words, a purple-red whip of lightning suddenly swung down from the sky and hit his body accurately. Accompanied by the dazzling lightning, the man was instantly knocked unconscious by the electric current.
