Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 140 Unknown Totem

After seeing Mo Fan off, Fang Yu and Tang Yue also left the villa.

soon.

Fang Yu followed Tang Yue all the way to West Lake. Once they reached the lakeside, they boarded a small boat and drifted slowly on the lake.

The lake water is clear and tranquil, reflecting the white clouds that gently drift around the small boat, or slowly overlap with its shadow.

After a while.

The small boat rowed all the way to the island in the middle of the lake.

The island in the middle of the lake is shaped like a prohibition sign: a circle with an X inside, and the rest of the island is water.

The two stepped onto the deserted island in the middle of the lake.

With her hands behind her back, Tang Yue strolled through a familiar place like a lively little girl.

Her steps were slow yet light, with a gentle and approachable quality, lacking the initial amazement I felt upon first meeting her and the slight arrogance of a mentor.

Fang Yu followed Tang Yue across the lake and arrived at the courtyard house in the center of the lake, with its green tiles and red pillars, a typical example of the Jiangnan style.

Inside the courtyard, there were some antiques on display. Fang Yu followed Tang Yue inside and found that not only were there antiques on the table, but there were also murals carved on the walls, each depicting an ancient legend.

The murals depict people, as well as seemingly ambiguous depictions of demons.

There are villages, water, and some strangely shaped creatures surrounding the area, maintaining a scattered appearance.

At the very top.

Fang Yu discovered a very interesting mural.

The entire ancient picture was simplified into a line drawing.

It was a snake depicted as enormous, its body partially obscured by the clouds in the simple sketch...

Beneath the body of this giant snake, there was a small creature on the ground. The two were like a snake and an earthworm, with a huge difference in size.

I gaze at this mural.

Fang Yu recalled the description in the original work.

The little creature depicted in the mural is the totem snake.

The size of the Totem Black Serpent was the most astonishing thing Fang Yu had ever seen in his life. In foggy weather, its lower body was on the ground while its head could touch the clouds.

However, in the simple sketches of this mural, there is a celestial serpent that is dozens of times larger than it.

Although it was not mentioned in the original work.

However, it is likely another unrecorded totem beast.

In ancient records.

Ancient sacred totems were the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.

They were also the four chosen spirits of the Chinese totem era.

but.

There were 64 other totem beasts vying for the position of the Four Spirits. They were once the kings of kings, but they were ultimately defeated by the Four Spirits.

however.

Although these sixty-four totems were losers, they were only one step away from the position of the Four Symbols. Perhaps some of them were no less powerful than the Four Symbols, but the way of heaven, the way of fate, the situation, the era, their nature, their virtue, and the people who admired them at the time caused them to be eliminated and lose.

I imagine that the celestial serpent depicted in the mural is one of them.

...“Hiss hiss hiss hiss~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, a low growl that could penetrate deep into one's soul rang out, right near the island in the middle of the lake!

next moment.

The water began to churn, and the intensity of the churning indicated that whatever was emerging must be enormous.

Sure enough, beneath the silvery lake water illuminated by the moonlight, a startlingly dark shadow was slowly emerging.

The shadowy figure grew clearer and clearer, breaking through the water's surface.

The enormous snake head finally appeared, and the smooth snake body shimmered slightly in the moonlight...

It was the totem serpent that emerged from the hidden sealed space.

When Tang Yue saw that the totem snake had appeared, her face was full of smiles, showing no fear whatsoever. She even reached out to stroke the totem snake's head.

The head of the totem snake is as big as a hundred-square-meter house. Its flat nostrils are like small holes to a person, not to mention its wide snake mouth. The long snake tongue sticking out is enough to scare people to death!

to be frank.

Even though Fang Yu knew that the totem serpent had no ill intentions toward humans, he was still somewhat intimidated when he saw this enormous creature!
but.

Tang Yue was incredibly audacious; she even jumped onto the smooth forehead of the totem snake and was happily talking to it.

At this moment, Tang Yue, who had always appeared somewhat mature and sexy in Fang Yu's mind, was like a lively little girl in front of the Totem Black Serpent, radiating youthful energy, joy, and innocence.

"This is my student. I brought him here to help," Tang Yue said, standing on the totem snake's head, which was barely halfway above the water, pointing to Fang Yu on the island in the middle of the lake.

The totem snake turned its head, its lantern-like eyes fixed on Fang Yu, and its forked tongue suddenly shot out, its length astonishingly exaggerated.

"They're expressing their gratitude to you," Tang Yue translated with a smile.

"Let's get down to business quickly, or we'll be discovered and the plan will fail," Fang Yu said urgently.

Being stared at by the totem snake was too creepy; he panicked and quickly urged Tang Yue to leave.

"Don't rush. I have to talk to it slowly. It's very sensitive during this period. Even I have to communicate with it first," Tang Yue said.

"Alright, alright, you two can communicate," Fang Yu said.

The moonlight was as bright as ever, its radiance falling from the dark sky in a bluish-silver hue, blending with the pristine waters of the lake to create the most beautiful moonlit night scene on West Lake.

Under the moonlight, a charming woman knelt on a large, smooth, black head. Her hair, as wavy as lake water, was spread out, and her beautiful and graceful figure was even more holy and enchanting under the moonlight.

She spoke softly, just like a junior chatting with an elder about everyday things, while the kind and taciturn elder simply listened.

Unlike the terrifying totem serpent, the totem serpent only ever showed half of its honest-looking head in front of Tang Yue. When Tang Yue didn't speak, its lantern-like eyes would occasionally roll upwards, as if waiting for her to continue...

Seeing this scene, Fang Yu was deeply shocked, as if he could see Tang Yue talking to the totem snake like this when she was still a child or a girl!

Having such a special elder as a companion during her childhood must have helped dispel a great deal of loneliness and fear for a girl who has no father.

"Okay, it agreed." Tang Yue suddenly shouted to Fang Yu, then stretched out her hand and made a "V" sign.

"Then let's put it away quickly," Fang Yu said.

"it is good!"

Tang Yue got down to business and took a black bead.

This is a totem bead, a special vessel that can contain a totem snake.

In fact, totem beads are a kind of spatial container.
