Although most spatial vessels could not contain living creatures, the Totem Pearl had been specially modified. It contained Totem Aura within it, capable of supplying energy and allowing the Totem Black Snake to remain inside.
After sealing the Totem Black Snake into the Totem Pearl, Tangyue prepared to take it to the molting grounds.
She had already planned a route long ago, intending to bring the Totem Black Snake to a small town called Baizhen near the borders of the Safe Zone.
Baizhen was located at the westernmost edge of the city, quite a distance from West Lake. On White Mountain near Baizhen was a hidden cave known only to successive generations of Totem Guardians. It existed specifically to protect the Totem during critical periods.
The journey to White Mountain was neither too far nor too close. Fang Yu's task was to escort Tangyue and the Totem Mysterious Snake safely into the Thousand-Hole Caverns of White Mountain.
The Thousand-Hole Caverns were connected cave after cave, mountain after mountain, forming an enormous unexplored underground world. There was no safer place for the Totem Black Snake to stay. Even if enemies discovered the entrance, it would be useless, the labyrinth-like tunnels would ensure they never returned.
"Alright, let's move!"
"Let's go!"
Under the cover of night, the two quietly brought the skyscraper-like serpent out of Tabu City without anyone noticing, swiftly heading toward the westernmost borderlands of Tabu.
Although the Totem Black Snake's strength declined drastically during its molting period, its perception multiplied several times over.
This allowed it to rapidly sense danger and avoid any enemy that could threaten it.
Combined with Fang Yu's high-tier Space Element cultivation and Tangyue's Shadow Element support, the journey was dangerous but uneventful.
They successfully avoided the pursuit of Zhu Meng's court guards, who were carrying out the Hidden Danger Strategy and attempting to exterminate the Totem Black Snake.
The two safely arrived at White Mountain.
At this moment, inside White Mountain.
After settling the Totem Black Snake down, Tangyue immediately returned. She still needed to continue defending the Totem Black Snake at the Tribunal.
Meanwhile, Fang Yu stayed behind to guard the area while waiting for the Totem Black Snake to molt.
At the same time, he was quietly waiting for news from Mo Fan regarding the serum. That item could help the Totem Black Snake complete its transformation quickly.
As long as the Totem Black Snake safely passed through its molting period, then even if Zhu Meng or Luo Mian, who hoped to rise in status by eliminating the Black Snake were given ten times the courage, they still would not dare touch a single scale of the Totem.
Two days later.
Another catastrophe erupted within the city.
A massive army of White Magic Eagles launched an assault on the city's borders. They had sensed that the aura of the Totem Mysterious Snake, which once guarded the city, had disappeared, and thus began their invasion.
Not only that, the sudden plague had also begun spreading on a massive scale.
At this moment, inside the Lingyin Tribunal conference room.
The news reached the room immediately. Every Chief Judge and council member seated at the conference table wore grave expressions, remaining silent.
Faced with both internal and external crises, Councilman Zhu Meng was forced to request Tangyue's help, hoping she would summon the Totem Black Snake back and find a way to resolve the plague. Otherwise, if the epidemic continued spreading, corpses would soon fill the entire city.
However.
Before Tangyue left White Mountain, Fang Yu had already warned her that Zhu Meng might use the plague as an excuse to lure the Totem Black Snake back while laying a heavenly net to eliminate this "hidden danger"…
Although the situation was extremely severe, Tangyue still refused. Compared to the people in that conference room, Fang Yu was far more trustworthy.
Meanwhile in Baizhen.
This was the origin point where the plague had begun spreading on a large scale.
This terrifying epidemic rendered Healing Magic completely ineffective. Even the usual medicines used against infections only accelerated the plague's invasion within the human body.
Most plagues had an incubation period before symptoms appeared, followed by gradual deterioration, infection, and eventually mass death.
But this plague showed no signs of incubation whatsoever. Once infected, symptoms erupted immediately.
Plagues that spread rapidly usually deteriorated slowly, giving people enough time to find antibodies. Yet this plague not only spread rapidly, but also worsened at an astonishing pace. Patients infected a week ago were now covered in densely packed green blisters that looked horrifying.
Mo Fan and Lingling had already been here for quite some time.
The two truly deserved their reputation as a top-tier duo, one blessed with protagonist-level luck, the other possessing intelligence far beyond her age.
Not only did they discover that the plague was not caused by the Totem Black Snake's venom.
They also uncovered that the true source of the epidemic was poisoned blood serum. It was man-made.
They even exposed the people involved, ultimately tracing everything back to Councilman Luo Mian.
Half a day later, the two even found a method to cure the plague.
White Mountain.
Fang Yu received a phone call from Mo Fan.
Mo Fan explained everything they had discovered and informed him that Eagle Red Grass could cure the plague.
Fang Yu did not waste any words and directly told him that he already had a solution. He also instructed the two of them to bring all the blood agents to the foot of White Mountain no matter what method they used.
Not long afterward, when Mo Fan and Lingling arrived there, Fang Yu took out the Eagle Red Grass he had prepared beforehand.
The moment Mo Fan saw the pile of Eagle Red Grass in Fang Yu's hands, he froze before exclaiming in shock,
"Holy shit, where the hell did you get so much Eagle Red Grass?"
Even little Lingling had a stunned expression on her face.
"I like wandering around outside the safe zones. I found them while coming back earlier and looted them from a White Magic Eagle territory. Guess it was just blind luck," Fang Yu casually made something up.
"Then why do you need these poisonous blood agents?" Lingling asked suspiciously.
"Why are there so many questions? Turning Eagle Red Grass into medicine also takes time, and there are still countless people waiting to be treated. Every minute wasted means more lives lost!" Fang Yu could not be bothered explaining further and directly sent them away.
Mo Fan and Lingling could only leave unwillingly.
Looking at those blood agents, Fang Yu knew that with them, the Totem Black Snake would soon recover completely.
Silver radiance flickered as the blood agents flew directly out from the carts and were stored inside Fang Yu's spatial ring. Afterward, Fang Yu hurried back toward White Mountain once more.
After finding the Totem Black Snake, Fang Yu helped it devour all the blood agents.
Then, the Totem Black Snake began its transformation.
Not long later, the Totem Black Snake had completely shed its old form. Its fresh blue-black scales gleamed brilliantly, like armor displaying the ancient majesty and dignity of a Totem creature, while its incomparably massive body represented its status as a ruler above all!
"It succeeded."
"Big guy, let's go. It's time to settle some scores." Fang Yu stood atop the Totem Black Snake's head.
Moments later, the Totem Black Snake shot into the sky from White Mountain like a night dragon breaking through the heavens.
As it soared upward, mist the same color as its body quickly formed around it.
On one hand, the mist concealed its gigantic and awe-inspiring body like drifting clouds.
This was precisely its ability to ride the clouds and command the mist!
