Versatile Mage: I was reborn as Mo Fan

Chapter 85. The Black Snake

After a crushing battle, the monkey sat down on the high ground, somewhat exhausted. The data collection had been completed. What was certain was that there was indeed an earth-type spirit seed in the valley not far away.

Although he was a little tired, he knew that his elder brother was here to help him gain benefits, so he immediately packed up his things. Then, with the Flame Howling Wolf leading the way, they moved towards the location of the spirit seed.

However, Mo Fan did not choose to directly enter the valley where the lizard-skull giant monsters lived. Instead, he took the monkey to look for a cave that could lead to an underground river.

In the original world, the armored giant lizard could only be killed if it was traumatized.

But now?
He didn't even stay here, so the lizard must be at its peak combat power. The corpse of a lizard was not worth much, so he didn't plan to fight so hard.

The two of them searched for about ten days and finally found the earth-type spirit seed for the monkey.

Of course, Mo Fan also killed quite a few lizard monsters these days.

Within the Dongting Lake, giant lizard skull monsters are rampant and can be seen everywhere. Even though Mo Fan has killed thousands of them in the past few days, he can still see these things everywhere.
After returning to the city, Monkey went back to Wei Fang to report, while Mo Fan went to Hangzhou. Although the Book of Lightning Constellations was not used, Tang Yue's trouble, or rather, the trouble of the Black Snake, was coming.
Because the black snake has appeared, although this time it did not appear in the center of Hangzhou, but appeared in the school where Xinxia was!

This was something Mo Fan had not expected.

However, it was normal for the black snake to show up during this sensitive period. But its appearance naturally caused unnecessary trouble. Zhu Meng, the prevention councillor of the Palace Magic Association, even set his sights on it.

In fact, Zhu Meng had been eyeing this black snake for a long time.

As soon as Mo Fan arrived in Hangzhou, Tang Yue brought him to the Magic Association in Hangzhou.

We took the elevator all the way to the top of the building. Above was a conference hall with a full sky view, which was very stylish.

When I walked to the door of the conference room, I saw a group of men in uniform guarding the door. Most of these men were high-level mages.

They didn't have to wait long before they were brought inside by Tang Yue's senior brother.

There is a standard large round table in the meeting room. A group of well-dressed men and women sit in front of the round table, about seven or eight people.

The remaining twenty or so people were all standing nearby. Judging from their uniforms, they were basically judges.

The people guarding outside were all high-level mages, so naturally the people inside would not be any worse. Here, Mo Fan also saw Leng Qing, the deputy chief judge of the Trial Council of the Demon City.

However, the Magic City Tribunal was also under the management of the Lingyin Temple Tribunal, so she was also considered a member of the Tang Clan's faction.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a thick beard slammed the table heavily and said righteously: "The man is dead, and you are still protecting the poisonous snake! I came here from the Magic Palace not to discuss with you, but to eliminate the hidden dangers in West Lake and restore peace to Hangzhou. You'd better hand over the Sky Snake as soon as possible and let us deal with it!"

Tang Yue stared at the bearded man with anger and cursed under her breath.

Obviously, in Tang Yue's opinion, Zhu Meng, who targeted Xuan Snake, was a bad guy.

"Please be patient, be patient, Councillor Zhu Meng. You are well aware of the abilities of the Sky-Snake. Going to cause trouble for it with murderous intent like you will only bring greater trouble. Everything must be resolved slowly." An elderly presiding judge said with a smile.

"Don't say so much useless things. Don't even think about protecting it this time!" Zhu Meng said very firmly. "Protect it, why should we protect it? The black totem snake has been in this city for who knows how many years. This is its habitat. I really don't understand what qualifications we have to drive it out?" An elder who was obviously in the position of protecting the totem said indignantly.

"That is your totem. What does it have to do with us? What I care about is whether this monster will cause chaos!" Zhu Meng said with the same momentum.

"I see that you are not worried about the Totem Black Snake causing trouble, but you are worried that as long as it exists, your hidden danger strategy cannot be fully implemented, you cannot gain more supporters, and you cannot become the president of the Magic Court!" the old totem guardian shouted angrily.

Zhu Meng looked at the old man with a goatee and laughed instead of getting angry.

Mo Fan watched quietly from the side. He had to admit, these people who played power games were all real actors!
At this moment, Tang Yue couldn't help but stand up and said, "The totem black snake won't hurt anyone. What makes you say that the two bodies were left behind by the black snake?"

"Where did this ignorant girl come from? Do you have the right to speak here?" A palace guard beside Zhu Meng shouted loudly.

Zhu Meng glanced at Tang Yue, as if he had recognized her. He waved his hand, indicating to the guard beside him that there was no need to worry about this misunderstanding.

"Everything must be based on evidence. Don't you think it's ridiculous to just pull out two corpses and say they were killed by the Totem Black Snake!" Tang Yue continued to scold.

"Tang Yue, don't be rude, step back."

The chief judge Tang Zhong stood up and scolded Zhu Meng, then he looked at Zhu Meng and said, "My niece is right. We should always rely on evidence. With our ability as totems, if we really wanted to kill someone, we would not leave any bodies behind. How could we leave two rotting corpses that were not discovered until a week ago for no reason? Putting the blame on our totems for these two corpses is really going too far!"

Zhu Meng glanced at Tang Zhong, but his attitude was extremely tough: "Investigating the case is not my job, my duty is to eliminate hidden dangers. It appeared openly in the downtown area, and this alone is enough to make it the top hidden danger. Now I only give you two days, either you hand over the Totem Black Snake yourself, or I will do it myself!"

After saying this, Zhu Meng turned around and left.

"Alas, I didn't expect that even though we carefully guarded it, someone would still catch it." Tang Zhong sighed, looking extremely melancholy.

"What should we do now? Zhu Meng is determined to deal with Totem this time, and he has taken advantage of it this time. Even if we file a petition to a higher conference hall, we may not be able to calm him down." Heiyu said.

"Actually, Zhu Meng is just showing off for a while. If he wants to deal with the totem, let him do it. If he really has the ability to defeat the totem black snake, he would have done it long ago. Why did he have to wait until today... Isn't it because he is afraid of the totem's strength?" Councillor Luo Mian said, stroking his beard.

Luo Mian obviously knew about the black snake shedding its skin. The reason he said this was simply because he wanted to confirm it again.

Tang Zhong was also helpless and told the story of the black snake shedding its skin over ten years.

Then Tang Zhong looked at Tang Yue and said, "Tang Yue, I think you should take the totem away from here in advance and find a safe place for it to spend its molting period in peace."

Tang Yue nodded in agreement.

She naturally didn't want anything to happen to Xuan Snake.

After all, to her, the black snake is like a relative!
"I will be responsible for protecting Tang Yue and the totem." Hei Yu said.

Chief Judge Tang Zhong shook his head and said, "The totem in the molting period is very sensitive. Any commander-level creature or high-level human wizard who appears within a 20-kilometer radius of it will arouse its hostility. Tang Yue is the only one whose strength exceeds this limit and is not regarded as an enemy by the totem."
