As the chief of the Totem Tribe, the only thing Tang Zhong could do was to save the Black Totem Snake's life.
Even if he was the culprit behind the plague, he would not be able to kill the Black Totem Snake. His existence was extremely important to Hangzhou. If it weren't for the Black Totem Snake, the city would have long been destroyed by the countless wars that had taken place.
Tang Zhong's only request was to keep the Totem Snake alive.
So be it, it was better than being killed by humans.
"Head of the Magic Court, you've underestimated me. The Threat-Elimination Strategy is to eliminate the source of trouble. How can you be so sure that the Black Totem Snake won't come back and vent his anger on humans because of us? Once his ecdysis is over, the Black Totem Snake will be unstoppable. Do you really think your pitiful offerings will be enough to convince him to surrender? I'm sorry, I, Zhu Meng, will never treat the lives of the people as a joke. I will kill this Black Totem Snake! "said Zhu Meng firmly.
"Then forgive me for not being able to tell you where the Black Totem Snake is. You can arrest me, or take full responsibility for the plague, but I will never tell you where he is. "The Head of the Magic Court, Tang Zhong, was equally determined.
Tang Zhong was more familiar with the history of the city than anyone else.
The God was the blessing of the city, not the plague. He had no doubt about it!
Even if he had committed a crime, as long as it did not lead to a great disaster, humans had no right to execute him!
"Humph, do you think I won't know if you don't tell me? My informants have already told me that your niece Tangyue and a man have appeared near White Town. Tomorrow at the latest, I'll chop off his head and place it in the downtown area where he once appeared, to return the truth to the people and give them peace! "said Zhu Meng in a righteous tone.
Tang Zhong's brows immediately furrowed.
White Town …
It seemed like Tangyue and Mofan had been exposed. Hopefully, they could use the Black Totem Snake's senses to avoid Zhu Meng's Royal Guards.
…
In White Town, a man dressed in the robes of a palace guard stood on the watchtower of White Town. His gaze was fixed on the distant mountain hidden in the dark night.
"Captain Wu, should we go after them? A guard asked.
"Stay here and wait for orders. The probationary and probationary judges are already on their way. We just need to wait here for news," said the head of the guards, Wu Pingjing.
"Captain, I've heard that the Black Totem Snake's strength is quite shocking. Even if all of us were to attack him together, we still wouldn't be able to stop him. If Master Zhu Meng doesn't do it himself …" said the guard in a low voice.
"Don't worry, the Black Totem Snake during his ecdysis is extremely weak, no different from an ordinary demon beast. This snake has lived for who knows how many years. Since it has violated the laws of nature, it will definitely be punished by the heavens. The ecdysis period is the punishment given to it by the heavens. "Guard Captain Wu Pingjing said.
"That's good … That means we only need to deal with Tang Yue and the man beside him. I just don't know how strong the man beside Tang Yue is." The guard said.
"He's just an Intermediate Magician," Wu Pingjing smiled.
"Oh, then any probationary judge will be able to deal with him."
…
White Mountain was mainly made up of rocks that were exposed to the sun. There were not many plants on the mountain. The rugged terrain served as a natural barrier, separating the human territory from the demon beasts' territory.
At the foot of White Mountain was a plain covered in tall grass, but not a single tree could be seen. As the night breeze swept past, the autumn grass swayed to the bottom of the mountain, resulting in a spectacular sight.
In the grass, a wolf beast with blue starlight on its body was galloping at an extremely fast speed. Its speed was so fast that it was like a streak of starlight streaking across the black earth. It was incomparably handsome.
"Quick, faster!" Tang Yue turned around and blurted out in a panic when she saw the shadows behind her.
"We're already going as fast as we can … Watch out ahead!" yelled Mofan.
As soon as he finished the sentence, something strange happened in the tall grass ahead. Countless vines grew rapidly and formed a giant cage, waiting for Mofan and the others to walk right into it.
More vines rose from the ground. Some of them were extremely soft, and turned into ropes to bind the Swift Star Wolf's limbs. Some of them turned into steel ropes and whipped at the Swift Star Wolf.
“~~~”
The steel rope vines swung around, making whooshing sounds. It was full of strength.
The Swift Star Wolf quickly dodged to the side. To his surprise, the vines kept increasing in number. Each whip would leave a deep mark on the ground.
"PA!"
There were too many vines. The Swift Star Wolf had no chance of dodging them. Its head was whipped by the steel ropes, leaving a bloody mark on its head.
The Swift Star Wolf lost its balance and rolled to the side, dragging Mofan and Tang Yue into the tall grass …
The soft vines rode the Swift Star Wolf to the ground and grew rapidly, wrapping around the Swift Star Wolf's body and binding it tightly. It could not move at all!
"Be careful, it's a very strong Plant Magician!" Tang Yue rose to her feet and warned Mofan.
Mofan nodded. He unleashed his Telekinesis and sensed the Plant Magician hiding in the woods.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, two more vines came flying at Mofan and Tang Yue. This time, the vines were like steel spears, piercing straight at them.
Mofan was shocked. The probationary Magician was ruthless, trying to kill them!
"Burn the grass down," Mofan said.
The grass had greatly hindered their vision. Meanwhile, the Plant Magician was like a fish in water in the woods, as if every plant was under his control.
"We can't, there are more people following us. The flames will expose us," Tang Yue said.
"Is there any way to lure him out?" Mofan checked his surroundings cautiously.
The woods were extremely advantageous for the Plant Magician. Besides, the guy's goal was not to take them down. He was using his Plant Magic to delay them and prevent them from entering the woods.
"You're asking me, how am I supposed to know … look out behind you!" Tang Yue reminded him.
Mo Fan turned around and was shocked to see vines penetrating the bushes and heading straight for him.
Mofan quickly turned into a black shadow and dove into the shadows of the tall grass. The vines immediately vanished after missing their target, not giving Mofan and Tang Yue any chance to figure out where they came from.
"You're pretty good at using the Fleeing Shadow," Tangyue complimented as she glanced at Mo Fan's figure that had appeared from the darkness.
"Miss Tang Yue, you've taught me well …" Mofan said modestly.
"I'll cover for you here. Use the Fleeing Shadow to drag him out. Don't hurt him, just immobilize him with the Soul Shadow Spike," Tang Yue said.
