Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 83 The Truth about the Plague

A young man was sitting on the edge of the watchtower, playing the flute leisurely. The sound of the flute was melodious and pleasant. After a while, a gray-white eagle flew out from the woods and landed happily beside the young man.

The boy touched the eagle. The eagle must have gone to the forest to steal rabbits. The eagle's bloodline was not pure so it was often bullied by the trainer, and the trainer often did not give it food, which made the boy very angry.

Soon the boy noticed that the people below seemed to be in a hurry, and then he saw the military magicians being transferred to the front line.

"What happened?" the boy said to a passerby below.

"Wang Xiaojun, hurry up and leave, otherwise the White Demon Eagle will eat you." said a passerby.

"Hehehe, it will protect me." Wang Xiaojun patted the eagle beside him, and the eagle puffed out its chest and raised its head and nodded.

At this time, a pockmarked man came over and said, "All the Sky Eagles must be killed, including your Sky Eagle. Hurry up and do it."

"What are you talking about?" Wang Xiaojun couldn't help but say.

"A monarch-level eagle demon has appeared in Xiling. All the sky eagles will rebel, so act quickly. If you are reluctant to kill it now, then when the demon blood in its bloodline is awakened, it will tear you to pieces." The pockmarked face said.

Wang Xiaojun was stunned. This was the Sky Eagle given to him by his elder brother, and he was reluctant to kill it.

“No!!” Wang Xiaojun blew the flute, and the gray-white eagle flapped its wings and flew away in an instant.

Ma Zi was so angry that he was fuming. He said, "How dare you do this, you little bastard who nobody wants!!! Your Sky Eagle will bring the White Magic Eagle to attack us later. You are such an idiot!"

Wang Xiaojun lowered her head and said nothing.

After the trainer left, Wang Xiaojun looked up and saw a large number of eagles lying in the blood, with their white feathers stained with blood...

They were struggling, they were longing in a pool of blood, they kept making shrill cries... Their shrill cries were like sharp swords piercing his heart.

……

In the Lingyin Tribunal meeting room, everyone here knows what happened in the West Fortress.

It was quiet.

"The White Demon Eagles are the enemy the military least wants to encounter. They will paralyze the Sky Eagle system..." said the presiding judge Li Tian.

"We are facing internal and external troubles now...Mr. Lu, have you developed medicine to resist the plague?" Zhu Meng said.

"We have the medicine, but what is extracted from the blood of the Totem Black Snake cannot cure the disease completely. We need the bile of the Totem Black Snake or something else." Mr. Lu said.

Zhu Meng stood up and said, "Since its blood is effective, it means it is the culprit..."

Tang Zhong was silent.

At this time Zhu Meng walked in front of Tang Yue, and Tang Zhong hurriedly stood up. He thought Zhu Meng was going to hurt Tang Yue.

But Zhu Meng just stood in front of Tang Yue. After a while, he lowered his head and said, "I know you have a protective heart, but Hangzhou is now in a huge crisis. The White Magic Eagle Legion will have a fierce battle. If we can't solve the plague within one day, Hangzhou will be littered with corpses. All..."

Zhu Meng lowered his head even deeper, almost like bowing: "I beg you, call back the totem black snake, I can promise you that I will not kill it."

Tang Yue took a few steps back. At this time, Lin Ran supported Tang Yue and said, "Teacher, no matter what choice you make, I will be with you, so don't be afraid."

Tang Yue nodded and looked at Tang Zhong, who then nodded.

Tang Yue made up her mind: "Okay, I will call it back to West Lake, but you are not allowed to kill it."

……

At this time, the West Lake had been completely blocked and no outsiders were allowed in.

On the long Su Causeway, Zhu Meng and his chief bodyguard Wu Pingjing were standing on the edge, facing the HZ city area.

At this time, the inky black fog floated over HZ City and slowly approached the West Lake.

On Su Causeway, everyone was paying attention to the inky black fog.

"It appeared in the city without anyone noticing and then disappeared quietly." Leng Qing said.

Leng Qing is a very cold and beautiful woman. She looks both cold and charming. She is also Lingling's sister and the vice president of the Trial Council.

Lin Ran couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Will Lingling be so cool and beautiful in the future?

At this time Tang Yue said: "It's coming!"

Just as the fog reached the center of West Lake, an extremely slender and huge body fell into the water. In an instant, water mist splashed and set off tsunami-like waves.

Everyone was also surprised.

"Has everyone finished peeling?" Tang Yue shouted happily.

The totem black snake slowly approached, with only Tang Yue in its giant lantern-like eyes.

"It hasn't finished shedding its skin yet." Luo Mian said at this time. The scales of the Totem Black Snake should be very bright after shedding its skin, but now the scales on the Totem Black Snake look very old.

At this time Zhu Meng looked at Luo Mian.

There was a hint of viciousness in Luo Mian's eyes.

Zhu Meng slowly raised his hand and then clenched it into a fist in an instant.

This is a gesture of action!!!
In an instant, countless figures rushed out from Su Causeway. These people were well-trained and had hidden in various locations on Su Causeway early on. They were all court magicians.

"Catch him for me!" Zhu Meng said loudly.

"Activate the Thunder Ring Punishment Array and never let it escape." Councillor Luo Mian said.

The sudden change caught everyone off guard, and Tang Yue was even more confused.

"What are you going to do?" Tang Yue suddenly understood something and roared angrily.

These people deceived her, and she actually believed Zhu Meng's lies. This bastard just wanted to kill the Totem Black Snake from the beginning to the end.

"Tang Yue, you did a good job. Let us kill this snake next." Luo Mian said.

"The totem black snake must be eradicated!" Zhu Meng said viciously, and this way the plague will subside.

At this time, restless thunder elements emerged. Above the black clouds, purple thunder flashed, and countless stars could be seen faintly, connecting and interweaving.

Stars form star maps, star maps form constellations, and constellations form super-level star palaces!!!

The Star Palace is extremely dazzling and huge, and humans seem extremely small in front of it.

Lin Ran could feel the power to destroy the world contained in it.

"Is this magic?" people in the city murmured to themselves.

"Is this a punishment from God?"

Thunder and lightning formed a halberd of thunder, which tore through the clouds and descended to the earth.

Nine lightning halberds formed a nine-pointed star formation, and then imprisoned the totem black snake in the West Lake.

The totem black snake was furious. It used its primitive body to hit the pillar of thunder and lightning, but the magic circle did not move at all.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss~!”

The totem black snake roared, and its roar made the people in the entire city unable to sleep. People woke up and saw the appearance of the totem black snake.

"Oh my god! Is this a demon? It's so scary."

Lin Ran opened his mouth wide. The power of thunder was so frightening that it made his scalp numb!

"The Punishment of the Thunder Ring and the Forbidden Nine Rings, this is a super-class magic of the thunder element. The power activated by such a large formation is enough to suppress monarch-level creatures. This time, Zhu Meng and Luo Mian are afraid that they will kill the Totem Black Snake." Leng Qing said.

The totem black snake bit the lightning prison, but the thunder immediately gave it a heavy blow.

"Stop now! I beg you." Tang Yue begged, tears streaming down her face.

Lin Ran was about to take action, he took a step forward, but the next second Wu Pingjing appeared in front of Tang Yue and controlled Tang Yue.

Zhu Meng looked at Lin Ran and said, "I know you have special powers, but if you want to save the Totem Black Snake, the price is Tang Yue's life."

Lin Ran looked at Zhu Meng's golden pupils and could not see a trace of emotion.

Leng Qing frowned. She could feel the light elements nearby were rioting.

After a while, Lin Ran's golden pupils returned to black. At this time, Lin Ran said, "I won't do it."

Zhu Meng put a pair of shackles on Lin Ran's hands and said, "This shackle is a very special magic tool that can block your magic power."

After Tang Yue was shackled, her restraints were untied and Lin Ran walked up to Tang Yue.

"Sorry..." Before Lin Ran could finish his words, Tang Yue knelt weakly on the Su Causeway. She looked particularly small at this moment.

Looking at the totem black snake covered with scars, Tang Yue felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

There was nothing she could do.

Suddenly, the totem black snake stretched its head forward with all its might, and its head was very close to Su Di. In an instant, everyone retreated in fear.

Just when people thought it was going to attack, the head of the totem black snake approached Tang Yue, and then stretched out its tongue, and the tip of its red tongue approached Tang Yue, and then wiped away Tang Yue's tears...

Tang Yue was stunned. The snake's tongue was very gentle. The totem black snake comforted Tang Yue gently like a father.

Tang Yue broke down and burst into tears.

At this time, a court magician walked up to Zhu Meng and said, "The Western Fortress needs support."

Zhu Meng frowned and said, "Let's kill this big snake first."

"It's emergency support. There are monarch-level creatures among the White Magic Eagles. Our Sky Eagle system has collapsed across the board. Only high-level wizards can stop the White Magic Eagle Legion. If we don't support it, the White Magic Eagle Legion will soon appear here..." said the court magician.

Zhu Meng was stunned. He didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

"There is no time to lose, the two congressmen, go and provide support!" someone said.

At this time Luo Mian said loudly: "We must kill it first."

"The Totem Black Snake has amazing endurance. I'm afraid you will have to take action at night to be safe. The war on the front line is tense now, and we can't waste time here. We can wait until we have dealt with the White Magic Eagle Legion and then come back to deal with the Totem Black Snake." Chief Judge Li Tian said.

Zhu Meng hesitated for a while and then said, "Support the front line first!"

Zhu Meng then began to dispatch court magicians.

Wu Pingjing spread his six pairs of wind wings and flew to the front line.

The palace magicians left one after another. At this time, Leng Qing said, "This matter is not simple, but you can't help much now. Leave it to your good brother and Lingling."

Lin Ran is a smart man, so he knows what Leng Qing is talking about. Mo Fan and Lingling went to investigate the real cause of the plague.

……

Mo Fan and Lingling entered Bai Town.

Lingling said, "Two months ago, my sister asked me to investigate a batch of blood potions from the government. These blood potions are provided to major post stations, military defense lines, and fortresses. You should know that there are countless people injured in the fight against demons every year. Hunters even have to spend one-fifth of their income to buy blood potions..."

Blood potions are very important things. In the absence of healing mages, blood potions can help people recover from their wounds quickly, so blood potions are very expensive. After all, they are life-saving things.

"Blood potion is made from the blood of demons, but my sister found out that someone replaced the blood with something else and put it into the blood potion, which resulted in a batch of problematic blood potions." Lingling said. "That means we need blood potion samples!" Mo Fan said.

Lingling nodded, but when the two were struggling with how to obtain the blood potion, a military mage asked his men to move a large amount of blood potion. A mage on guard wanted to stop them, but the military mage said a few vicious words and then didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, Mo Fan's eyes lit up and he ran over, then took out his military ID.

“Brother, can you give me some? Some of my men are injured as well.” The military mage looked at Mo Fan’s ID, then waved his hand and let Mo Fan take some away.

Mo Fan offered to pay. The military mage smiled and said, “We all shed blood for this city. Why should we ask for money?”

After saying this, the military mage strode away, and Mo Fan was somewhat moved.

at the same time.

Lin Ran looked at Tang Yue, who was in tears, and said, "The masters have all left now."

Tang Yue nodded and looked at the totem black snake with a distressed look on her face.

Lin Ran touched Tang Yue's head and said, "Then it's time to save it."

Tang Yue looked at Lin Ran in surprise. At this time, Lin Ran walked into the thunderstorm area. Just getting close to Lin Ran made her feel her scalp tingling.

Lin Ran reached his hand into the Thunder Spear, and the next second the horrific thunder tore Lin Ran's arms apart, but the shackles also fell off.

Lin Ran distanced himself and a scorching flame appeared on his body.

The angel transformation will be used to fight the monarch-level eagle monster later, so Lin Ran can only use the demon transformation to help the totem black snake.

Lin Ran's arms quickly grew out, and green scales appeared on his body.

After Lin Ran transformed into a demon, he looked at the Totem Black Snake and said, "Everyone, let's attack the Lightning Halberd in front of me together."

The totem black snake nodded.

Lin Ran exhaled, and then a scorching flame appeared on his right hand, and Lin Ran began to accumulate strength.

The scorching flames even made the lake boil.

“Go!!!” Lin Ran roared.

The totem black snake swung its tail and hit the lightning spear in an instant.

Lin Ran's flaming claws also penetrated into the thunder halberd.

The Thunder Spear collapsed in an instant.

The magic circle was incomplete due to one missing thread and was easily destroyed by the totem black snake's tail.

Lin Ran looked at his right hand and could almost see the bones.

At this time, the remaining court magicians hurriedly fled from here. They did not have the strength to deal with the Totem Black Snake. These remaining court magicians never thought that Lin Ran would dare to do this. If they had stopped Lin Ran earlier, such a thing would not have happened. Unfortunately, there is no if.

Flames appeared on Lin Ran's arm and the wound healed quickly.

At this time, Lin Ran said, "Everyone, hurry up and shed your skin. We will need you later."

The totem black snake nodded and entered the West Lake.

Lin Ran walked to the Su Causeway, looked at Tang Yue and said, "Teacher, don't worry, it's fine."

Tang Yue suddenly threw herself into Lin Ran's arms.

……

West Fortress in the morning.

Mo Fan and Lingling walked swaggeringly with the certificates given by Leng Qing. Now the fortress has been dyed red by the blood of the White Magic Eagle.

After walking for a while, the two met a few people who did not look like they were from the West Fortress.

Lingling and Mo Fan hid immediately.

"What should I do? This batch of blood that shouldn't be used..."

"Let's tell Councillor Luo Mian quickly, otherwise something big will happen." Deputy presiding judge Wang Yi said.

Several people then left quickly.

Lingling and Mo Fan looked at each other and found that it was indeed Luo Mian.

At this time, Lingling was fiddling with the computer. Mo Fan said, "What should we do?"

"Eavesdropping." Lingling had just placed a bug on one of the people.

Now they can hear clearly what Wang Yi and others are saying.

noon!

Many people were cleaning the blood from the roads with mops and buckets.

"I want to go to the battlefield!!" one said angrily.

At this time, Wang Xiaojun said: "If it is not handled in time, it will cause a plague so our mission is very important."

As soon as the words fell, a scream was heard.

Wang Xiaojun ran over in a hurry.

At this time, someone screamed, "It's the plague! The plague!"

At this moment everyone ran out.

"Big brother, are you okay?" At this time, Wang Xiaojun said to the person in front of him who was infected with the plague.

"Leave! Leave quickly!" The young military mage roared madly. The most important thing now was to stay away from him and isolate this place.

Before Wang Xiaojun could say anything, an officer picked him up and threw him out.

Wang Xiaojun was muttering something, and then he saw a girl in a black and red cheongsam walking towards him quickly. Wang Xiaojun stared at this little beauty with his eyes wide open.

At this time, Wang Xiaojun remembered the marks on the military magician's body, and said, "This is not a plague, but a bite from a poisonous rat."

The little beauty stopped, she looked at Wang Xiaojun and said, "What does it mean to be bitten by a poisonous rat?"

"Brother, the disease you have is not the plague. I got this kind of sore when I was catching mice before. It was cured by just rubbing it with the juice of eagle red grass." Wang Xiaojun said honestly.

Lingling suddenly realized what was going on. She hurriedly asked, "Do you still have this kind of red eagle grass?"

"No, but the West Ridge is full of weeds, and it's impossible to get through now..."

"Follow me!" Lingling grabbed Wang Xiaojun and left.

Mo Fan was standing on the watchtower, looking at the White Magic Eagles in the distance. There were more and more of these things, and they were gathering strength.

Lingling told the story again.

Mo Fan stroked his chin and said, "Even if it's true, we can't get through it!"

"You are stupid! I can catch the poisoned rats and then analyze them to determine whether they are the source of the plague, and I may also get the serum." Lingling couldn't help but say.

Mo Fan's eyes lit up, and then he said, "Let's go!"

Soon the three of them found the poisonous rat. This kind of rat was called Lingclaw Plague Rat. It was very weak, even weaker than the Giant-eyed Fishy Rat.

Lingling dissected the captured Lingzhua plague rat on the spot, and gradually understood the truth of the matter during the dissection.

"There is diseased blood in the body of the Lingzhua Plague Rat. This blood is very similar to the strange blood, but the effect is different. So someone used the diseased blood to make blood medicine, which led to the plague. This bastard must have been very scared when he found out about the plague, and then the Totem Black Snake happened to appear, so this person blamed the Totem Black Snake for the plague... That's how it all happened." Lingling said.

"Let's go to West Lake!" Mo Fan said.

So they rushed to West Lake.

At this time, Tang Yue was sitting on a bench eating.

Mo Fan told Tang Yue what happened, while Ling Ling put her hands on her hips and looked at Lin Ran and said, "Didn't my sister chop you?"

Lin Ran smiled awkwardly.

At this time, Leng Qing came over and said, "Wang Yi committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

Everyone knows that Wang Yi is Luo Mian's scapegoat.

"We found out the truth, but it's meaningless because Luo Mian pushed everything onto Wang Yi. Now the West Fortress doesn't have much strength to fight... Once the West Fortress is lost, something big will happen in Hangzhou." Leng Qing said.

……

In the West Fortress Operations Conference Room, Zhu Meng looked out the window at the horizon with a very solemn expression. He took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "Wu Pingjing, let's go up together!!"

"Mr. Congressman, how can you go to the battlefield in person?" Palace guard Li Jin said hurriedly.

"If I don't take action, who will deal with this beast?" Zhu Meng said.

At this time, Yun Feng said: "Then let the councillor, Wu Pingjing, Chief Judge Tang Zhong, and Chief Judge Li Tian deal with the monarch creatures together."

The four of them nodded.

At this time, Li Tian said: "This plague is a man-made disaster."

Then he told the story.

Zhu Meng was so angry that his teeth itched. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Someone used the blood of Lingzhua Plague Rats to make blood medicine, which caused the plague. Then the beasts like White Magic Eagle smelled the blood of the plague, so they regarded all the people who were infected with the plague as Lingzhua Plague Rats!"

Li Tian stared at Luo Mian intently, because he knew everything from Leng Qing.

After a while, Leng Qing came here with a group of people. Lin Ran sat casually on the chair, crossed his legs and looked at Luo Mian.

Zhu Meng frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"

At this time, Wang Xiaojun came out and said, "I can find the Eagle Red Grass and save everyone. I also have a Sky Eagle, but its bloodline is not pure..."

Luo Mian left unknowingly at this time.

At this time, Leng Qing said, "The eagle red grass he mentioned can cure the plague."

Zhu Meng looked at Wang Xiaojun and said, "I'll leave everything to you."

At this time, Lin Ran said, "Wang Xiaojun and I will go together, and you will give the blood potion with diseased blood to the Totem Black Snake. It is a poisonous overlord, so these blood potions are a great tonic for it. And we need it to fight against monarch-level creatures. The few super-class mages here are completely unable to defeat monarch-level creatures."

At this time, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't expect Lin Ran to order them so carelessly. Seeing everyone in a daze, Lin Ran pounded his fist on the table and shouted, "Can't you listen to me?"

Zhu Meng was stunned for a moment and then said, "Do as Lin Ran said."

Lin Ran stood up, took Wang Xiaojun's hand and said, "Let's go."

Wang Xiaojun nodded. He looked at Lin Ran and thought he was quite handsome!

Mo Fan touched his chin and squeezed next to Lin Ran and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but your skills in pretending to be awesome have become even more advanced!"
