Chapter 95, Totem Black Serpent

After landing, Tang Yue immediately took out a totem bead that shimmered with a faint light from her bosom.

With a soft "click," the totem bead released an incredibly dense mist that quickly covered the entire mountain peak.

Within the thick fog, a colossal shadow could be vaguely seen churning, like a whale leaping through the clouds, or a dragon emerging from the abyss.

It was a series of enormous snake bodies, slowly emerging from the sea of ​​mist—each scale as thick as a shield, displaying ancient and mysterious serpentine patterns, as if an entire totem mural was awakening from the mountain.

Chen Hao's pupils suddenly contracted.

As the mist slowly dissipated, its true form was finally revealed—an entire mountaintop was covered and coiled up by that giant, dark blue serpent!
Its body is like a rock vein, stretching for miles with almost no end in sight. Some parts are curled up in the valleys, some run across the cliffs, and its tail even hangs down along the cliff face, like a dark waterfall.

At this moment, the earth seemed to bow down before it, and even the mountains lost their dignity in its presence.

Chen Hao felt a tightness in his chest, his legs went weak, and even the hairs on his body stood on end.

This is the Totem Serpent—a supreme monarch-level totem. Even in its weakened state, it possesses enough power to crush low-level demons!

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he managed to swallow.

"I thought you were fearless, but I never expected you to be afraid sometimes," Tang Yue teased, her tone carrying a hint of smugness.

“Nonsense, how could I not be afraid of such a behemoth unless I become a super-level expert?” Chen Hao had just finished refuting when the Xuan Snake’s enormous head moved closer.

The moment those two snake-like eyes, as large as searchlights, fixed their gaze on him, he felt as if his blood had frozen.

"Don't worry, he knows you're helping him through this difficult time, he won't make things difficult for you," Tang Yue said.

As if to confirm her statement, the totem serpent slowly lowered its head towards Chen Hao, its enormous forked tongue, as large as a movie screen, gently flicking across Chen Hao's entire body and wiping him lightly.

Unbelievable! A colossal serpent capable of destroying the heavens and the earth could be as gentle as a lapdog.

Because of this friendly gesture, Chen Hao decided that he would take charge of the Hangzhou incident!

Tang Yue's favors are insignificant; he gets tired of them after a few times. That's just how much he respects women.

But Xuan She's favors are different. He's a true buddy who's willing to risk his life for you. In the original story, he helped Mo Fan fight against Gegeken, Parthenon, the Mu Clan, and the Battle of Shanghai...

That was truly dedication and hard work!

Soon after, the enormous body of the black serpent slowly disappeared into the labyrinthine forest of Baishan Thousand Caves, as if it had merged with the heavens and earth.

Tang Yue did not flee; she chose to stay put and surrender.

"The court doesn't want me, it wants the Black Serpent. As long as it's safe, I don't care."

Chen Hao shook his head, thinking to himself: You want to atone with your death, but I'm not going to die with you.

The plague has broken out in Hangzhou. At this time, individuals are insignificant in the face of power. Unless they are powerful enough to influence everything, they still have to resort to tricks.

He is a time traveler, giving him a natural advantage in terms of information asymmetry.

"The blood-purifying agent is the key to breaking this deadlock." Chen Hao narrowed his eyes, beginning to strategize.

……

As the plot unfolds in the original novel, Tang Yue is taken back to headquarters. Faced with Zhu Meng and others' relentless questioning, she never reveals Chen Hao's identity, nor does she disclose the whereabouts of the Xuan Snake.

But her silence did not earn her forgiveness. The plague worsened, and to make matters worse, the White Demon Eagles of Xiling suddenly launched a full-scale attack!

The Silver Sky Lord personally led the legion in a frenzied assault on the Western Fortress—this high-altitude race, which had previously kept to themselves, had suddenly become violent and cruel, as if they were collectively insane!

The Skyhawk forces at the Western Fortress collapsed instantly. Faced with the oppressive power of a supreme monarch like the Black Serpent, the White Eagle combat system, of the same kind, was directly paralyzed, and even defections occurred!
Left with no other choice, the animal trainer issued a drastic order:
"Kill all the Skyhawks!"

Without their mounts, ordinary mages lost their ability to fight in the air and were utterly powerless to resist the overwhelming onslaught of the White Demon Eagles. The Western Fortress was immediately plunged into a full-blown crisis!

……

Meanwhile, the Lingyin Trial Council held an emergency meeting. The high-ranking officials who received the news from the front lines had solemn expressions, and the meeting table was completely silent.

This disaster that swept across the entire Hangzhou area came too suddenly and too strangely.

Zhu Meng, Luo Mian, and others joined forces with the healing master, Mr. Lu, and with a little trickery, they completely fooled Tang Yue and the others, making them all believe that the plague originated from the Xuan Snake.

Under Zhu Meng's performance, Tang Yue suddenly became hesitant and agreed to call the Black Serpent back to West Lake.

The results were as expected.

"Take him down!" Councilor Zhu Meng shouted.

"Activate the Thunder Ring Punishment Formation! We must not give him a chance to escape!"
The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.

boom! ! !
One after another, high-level lightning mages who had been lying in ambush in various places suddenly appeared. Stars flowed in their hands, and arcs of electricity surged. Lightning elements exploded and gathered in the sky above the city!
Dark clouds rolled and lightning flashed like dragons. Seven high-level constellations suddenly appeared, intertwining and overlapping to form a lightning constellation that could cover several kilometers!
—That is the palace of lightning, the embodiment of divine punishment, and the ultimate form of the pinnacle of lightning magic!
Nine lightning halberds slowly rose in the star palace, each one like a pillar supporting the sky, as thick as a giant tower, and wrapped with ten thousand lightning bolts!
"fall--!!!"

At a single command, the night sky seemed to be sliced ​​open by a knife, and the nine thunder halberds, carrying overwhelming divine power, pierced down from the heavens!

Boom boom boom boom! ! !
The nine thunder halberds, like nine heavenly dragons, struck West Lake, stirring up towering thunderous waves and condensing into a blazing white nine-pointed star pillar array!
The Black Serpent was trapped within this divine punishment!
The totem serpent roared and writhed, unleashing towering waves. Its massive body, like a dragon coiling around a mountain, relentlessly clashed against the heavenly punishment barrier formed by the thunder halberd. Each collision felt like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting apart!
But the Thor's Halberd stood firm, as if it were an eternal weapon of divine punishment.

"boom!!!"

Chains of lightning extended from the Thunder Halberd, like whips formed from heavenly thunder, lashing fiercely at the Xuan Snake's scales and armor, producing deafening explosions!

"Hissing roar~~~~~~~~!!!"

A series of earth-shattering wails emanated from the Xuan Snake's throat, its dark blue scales breaking apart under the bombardment of lightning, splattering strands of totem blood.

Like an ancient giant python trapped in a beast snare, it is angry, in pain, and struggling, but the more it struggles, the deeper it gets!
The roar shook the heavens and the earth, like ten thousand bells ringing in unison, and the entire city seemed to tremble in the roar!

Outside West Lake, countless citizens were already stunned by this sudden scene of divine punishment.

……

Chen Hao didn't just wait around. With the connections of Lingling, Zhao Manyan, and Dean Xiao, as well as the tens of millions he invested, he managed to gather almost all the television stations in Hangzhou and Shanghai.

In addition, a large number of self-media professionals and college students majoring in related fields, encouraged by the power of money, responded to the call and rushed to Baizhen overnight despite the epidemic.

The military mages stationed in Baizhen were stunned when they saw the reporters coming in with such a menacing manner. Then, one by one, they reacted and stood firmly in front of the crowd.

"This area is under martial law. No one is allowed to enter without authorization!" a leading officer said, forcing himself to be firm.

"Make way!" A middle-aged man with a stubble beard stepped out from the crowd, holding up a Kuomintang military intelligence document.

The officer immediately deflated and obediently gave way at the checkpoint, allowing the numerous reporters and Chen Hao to file in.
