Eagle Mages invading the White Demon Eagle's lair?
That would be directly sending them little subordinate brothers.
"Alright, then be careful," Teacher Tang Yue said with some concern.
"Don't worry, I can't bear to lose you, so of course I'll protect myself," Mo Fan replied.
After parting with Teacher Teacher Tang Yue, Mo Fan headed directly towards the westernmost part of the White Mountain range. To the west lay the continuous West Ridge, an entire range of undulating mountains presenting a primitive appearance, with towering peaks and ancient trees reaching into the sky.
The light of dawn gently scattered across the surface of West Lake, shining upon the nine lightning halberds as the sky lit up. The people could now get a clearer look at the astonishing Super Magic...
The Lightning Magic had firmly trapped the Skyscraping Snake. His body was covered with bruises. He looked extremely weak.
He still revealed his upper body above the surface of the lake. He would glance at the terrified crowd surrounding the lake at times, and try to break free from the Lightning Punishment Formation. Unfortunately, the formation was extremely solid, and it was impossible for him to barge his way out with his current strength.
On the causeway, Tangyue sat there and kept the Black Totem Snake company. If the Black Totem Snake were to leave the world forever, she wanted to share his last walk with him.
The wounds on the Black Totem Snake were spreading. The lightning from the halberds continued to strike at his body and torture him.
Finally, the Black Totem Snake seemed to have run out of energy. His body slowly curled up as he rested his head on his body. His eyes closed slowly.
"Big guy, are you alright? Please stay with me for a while longer. I'll think of a way to save you!..." Tangyue screamed at the beast.
The Black Totem Snake opened his heavy eyelids. He glanced at Tangyue and uttered a soft shriek, as if he were just telling Tangyue that he was taking a little nap as he was too tired.
The wounds on the Black Totem Snake festered badly. The lightning arcs penetrated into his skin mercilessly. They would only let him go once he was shattered into pieces.
Tangyue continued to scream at the giant beast to stop him from falling asleep. However, the Black Totem Snake had already shut his eyes, not showing any reaction to her calls.
Tangyue covered her face in her hands, her eyes filled with tears. She stared at the Black Totem Snake, which was slowly being torn apart by the lightning bolts, not knowing if he would fall into a permanent sleep.
For a long time, the West Ridge has been an absolutely restricted flying zone; even airplane routes have to bypass it, precisely because a large group of White Demon Eagles resides here.
White Demon Eagles are violent in nature, with a strong desire to defend their territory. Even a Ruler or Monarch passing through their airspace will immediately be attacked by the flock until death. Even a lost demon sparrow passing through will be met with hostility.
It was precisely because of this that Mo Fan knew that without the White Demon Eagle being dispatched, gathering the herbs would be almost impossible.
The reason why humans currently don't consider the White Demon Eagle's tribe a huge hidden danger is simply because, although they live close to human territory, they have never shown any aggressive intent for decades. It seems that as long as their territory is not encroached upon, they remain exceptionally well-behaved.
But in reality, they have always been aggressive. Hangzhou's safety was entirely due to the Black Totem Snake.
This time, their invasion of Hangzhou was due to both the man-made plague and the Black Totem Snake's weakened state.
After Mo Fan arrived outside Hangzhou, he saw large groups of White Demon Eagles flying past. Their target, naturally, was the direction of Hangzhou.
But precisely because they were hovering around the west side of Hangzhou, it gave Mo Fan an opportunity to sneak in. After spending a day, he safely infiltrated the White Demon Eagle's territory, gathered a large amount of Eagle Red Grass, and then quickly returned to the safe zone. Although he encountered attacks from White Demon Eagles during this time, given his current strength, as long as it wasn't the Silver Sky Ruler, or White Demon Eagles covering the sky, Mo Fan didn't need to worry about anything.
After collecting enough Eagle Red Grass and returning to the safe zone, Mo Fan found Little Lingling.
Little Lingling was also in West Lake, Hangzhou, at this time. When he arrived there, Mo Fan told her that Teacher Tang Yue had believed Zhu Meng and others and summoned the Black Totem Snake back.
The moment the Black Totem Snake appeared, gigantic purple electric flashes illuminated the black clouds. Amidst the lightning, countless Thunder Element star-points, like stars, could be seen. The star-points were rapidly connecting, appearing like streaks of starlight and tails of meteors, crisscrossing and weaving into a breathtaking star map!
Afterwards, they even connected to form constellations, then transformed into a star palace!
The colossal purple star palace seemed incredibly close, and as the radiance of the constellations echoed each other, and as the Thunder Element in the sky became so dense it formed clouds, that incredibly destructive Super Level magic descended directly!!
Those were nine heavenly halberds formed from lightning, countless long bolts of lightning powerful enough to pierce clouds, twisted together. Their length and thickness were like colossal pillars reaching into the sky!!
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!"
Instantly, the immensely large Black Totem Snake was restrained there.
At this moment, Zhu Meng also received the support of the entire populace of Hangzhou.
Teacher Tang Yue was like a tear-stained person, but no one paid her any attention.
Mo Fan looked at Teacher Tang Yue's regretful, crying appearance, walked to her side, put his arm around her soft body, and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to it."
"Mo Fan, am I very foolish?" Teacher Teacher Tang Yue was like a helpless child at this moment.
The Black Totem Snake also seemed to sense Teacher Tang Yue's sadness. Enduring the numbing power of the lightning, it even stretched out its head to comfort her.
Seeing this scene, Mo Fan's gaze swept towards Luo Mian.
And Luo Mian, as if sensing something, also looked towards Mo Fan.
However, his eyes were full of mockery. He seemed to think that Mo Fan, a small fry, dared to challenge him?
If he weren't in a good mood, he could have easily killed Mo Fan.
After comforting Teacher Tang Yue, Mo Fan did not stay there, but instead left with Lingling. At present, the Totem Black Snake would not die, because at the same time, the West Fortress was already in distress. The number of White Demon Eagles was increasing, and there were even Four-Clawed Demon Eagles and the monarch-level Silver Sky Ruler among them!
The appearance of the Silver Sky Ruler directly rendered the West Fortress's air defense capabilities useless. The Silver Sky Ruler is a type of eagle, and the successfully tamed Sky Eagles are also eagles. However, successfully tamed Sky Eagles would immediately choose to surrender when encountering a powerful eagle bloodline.
Mo Fan and Lingling, through Wei Fang, used the relationship of blood agents and Ling Claw plague rats to determine the origin of the epidemic, and then found Leng Qing.
When Leng Qing saw the two of them and the evidence they had obtained, she immediately went to Zhu Meng.
Originally, Zhu Meng was somewhat displeased knowing that Mo Fan had taken the Totem Black Snake with Teacher Tang Yue. But when he learned the cause of this epidemic and the problematic medicine, he angrily blew his beard.
Unfortunately, before he could trace it back to Luo Mian, one of his subordinates died by suicide, fearing punishment.
Although Zhu Meng also saw some trickery in it, what could he do at the moment? However, after confirming that this epidemic had nothing to do with the Totem Black Snake, Zhu Meng had no choice but to order the release of the snake, as the power of the Tang family was still needed to guard Hangzhou.
Mo Fan then asked Leng Qing to send all problematic blood agents here. Leng Qing was naturally able to do this, and he understood what Mo Fan meant.
Seeing the Totem Black Snake released, Teacher Tang Yue was incredibly grateful to Mo Fan. Her gaze towards Mo Fan was practically overflowing with affection.
However, Mo Fan could not forget Luo Mian's previous look; how could he let that scoundrel go?
However, to deal with Luo Mian, the help of the Totem Black Snake was still needed.
In the latter half of the night, after all the problematic blood agents were poured into the Totem Black Snake's mouth, the injuries on the Totem Black Snake's body disappeared, and greenish-black scales appeared on its slender snake body.
It was as if it had shed its skin; the scarred skin fell off to the side, submerged in the lake water. Although the Totem Black Snake became much smaller overall, this shedding seemed to have completely freed it from weakness.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss~~~"
The Totem Black Snake flicked its tongue, quietly looking at Mo Fan, seemingly expressing its gratitude.
At the same time, its gaze also turned to the Western side. It naturally sensed the invasion of the White Demon Eagles. However, it was in a weakened state before and was powerless.
And now, guarding this place was what it needed to do.
"Chirp!!!"
The Totem Black Snake's roar almost resounded throughout Hangzhou. It was truly enraged!
After so many years, this was the first time these miscellaneous eagles dared to challenge its authority.
"Big guy, we're not in a hurry over there. The urgent matter is to first deal with a disgusting tumor," Mo Fan said.
"Hiss, hiss~~"
The Totem Black Snake seemed to understand what Mo Fan said, flicking its tongue to indicate it would listen to Mo Fan.
"Lingling, now take the antidote I brought back and go rescue those who were infected. At the same time, tell Zhu Meng and the others everything, and have Zhu Meng find a way to tell Luo Mian that I have already gone out to collect herbs!" Mo Fan said, looking at Lingling.
"You're thinking..."
"Yes, you're right. I'm going to completely eradicate this tumor!"
Lingling paused, then said, "However, if the Totem Black Snake is with you, Luo Mian probably wouldn't dare to trouble you, would he?"
"I have it." Mo Fan took out the totem vessel.
"Okay, I'll go now." Lingling had no objection to this; eradicating a disgusting tumor like Luo Mian would be of great benefit to the world!
In a forest on the Western side of the West Fortress, just as Mo Fan expected, Luo Mian appeared immediately after receiving the news.
"You're Mo Fan, right? I am Councilor Luo Mian. You've done a great job on this mission. Give me the herbs, and I'll immediately take them to the isolation zone to rescue the infected people," Luo Mian said with a benevolent smile.
To be honest, Luo Mian already wished he could kill Mo Fan. After all, it was he, because of him, that his perfect plan had a loophole, and his loyal subordinate was forced to become a sacrifice.
But he was not in a hurry, because he wanted to determine what the herbs were and where they were.
"Heh heh, of course I know it's you, and I've been waiting for you for a long time," Mo Fan said calmly.
Hearing this, Councilor Luo Mian's smile gradually turned cold, with a sneer mixed with contempt for Mo Fan: "You know it's me, and you're still not sensible enough to give me the spatial Magic Tool?"
This ignorant kid dared to provoke him with his gaze before, and now he still didn't put him in his eyes?
He wouldn't think that Luo Mian was a pushover, would he?
"Idiot, do you know why I was able to trick you here after clarifying everything?" Mo Fan suddenly asked.
Luo Mian, hearing this, thought Mo Fan was a foolish person who overestimated himself, and immediately made his move.
However, at this moment, a burst of mist erupted!
"Caw!!!"
Before Luo Mian could react, suddenly, a gaping maw directly bit towards Luo Mian!
The source of this gaping maw was none other than the Totem Black Snake!
Luo Mian also reacted quickly, immediately dodging away when the Totem Black Snake appeared.
Luo Mian then finally saw its true form. Its body was long, able to repeatedly intertwine and coil in the mist, as if countless colossal mountain-like pythons were churning within.
Luo Mian mustered his courage and looked at the Totem Black Snake and Mo Fan on its head: "Do you think you are still the totem you once were? Without completing your shedding, I alone can destroy you."
The Totem Black Snake suddenly opened its mouth and spewed a black misty energy towards the ground. They struck the ground, creating a magnificent black ripple. The ripple shattered the earth, made space tremble, and directly startled Luo Mian greatly!
His face was extremely grim, and he stared intently at the Totem Black Snake, roaring, "You still need more than half a month to complete your transformation... Are you trying to exhaust your life force during the shedding period to use such a powerful ability, trying to take me down with you?!"
"Kill him," Mo Fan said with a cold laugh to the Totem Black Snake.
The Totem Black Snake's massive tail directly slammed onto him. Although Luo Mian used a defensive Magic Tool, unfortunately, he was immediately pressed to the ground, and then the Totem Black Snake bit down.
The moment he entered the gaping maw, Luo Mian used a shield Magic Tool: "No, you can't, you can't do this. Spare me, if you can spare me, I can give you more benefits, fame and fortune, anything!!"
Unfortunately, Mo Fan completely ignored him, and the Totem Black Snake directly swallowed both the Magic Tool and the person into its belly.
"Let's go, we should go help now." After dealing with Luo Mian, Mo Fan looked towards the West Fortress and said.
"Chirp!!!"
The Totem Black Snake naturally also sensed the situation over there, and even saw many White Demon Eagles pouring into the city. It was very angry, as this was the city it protected
