Full-Time Magister: I Have a Crafting Spawn

Another half hour passed.

The Silver Dome Lord's head had already been whipped so badly that it was unrecognizable. It was wishful thinking to think that its head could compete with the scales of the Black Serpent in terms of hardness.

Seeing that the Silver Sky Lord was about to die, Jiang Chuan spoke up to stop the Black Serpent.

"Alright, big guy, let it go first."

The black serpent then retracted its tail and slowly moved away from the silver dome.

……

On the city wall of Hangzhou, Zhu Meng looked at the Xuan Snake in disbelief.

For several years, he has been trying every means to remove the hidden danger of the black snake from Hangzhou.

Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment in Hangzhou, it was Xuan She who stepped forward.

Guardian deity... Guardian deity...

It turns out that the Guardian Clan calls the Black Serpent that way because of its protection.

"Councilor Zhu, you see? Who saved Hangzhou?" Tang Zhong spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Heh, Judge Tang, the disaster facing Hangzhou is not just from the Silver Dome Lord. What explanation do you have for the plague in the city?" Luo Mian flew over with a smile.

Tang Zhong wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to begin.

He could only manage to utter, "There must be something hidden here. The spread of the plague is very likely the work of some people in secret. I have sent people to investigate, and I believe that the Xuan Snake, which has guarded Hangzhou for thousands of years, is definitely not the culprit behind the plague."

"Oh."

Luo Mian sneered, seemingly unconcerned about the statement, but he was already feeling somewhat anxious.

Why haven't my subordinates sent any messages yet?

This group of incompetent fools failed to carry out their orders immediately.

They deserve to die!

"Bang!"

The sound of buildings collapsing in Xicheng District spread throughout Hangzhou and reached the ears of Zhu Meng and others.

As they gazed at the colossal, mountain-like serpent, a hint of fear stirred within them. Its eerie, glowing eyes seemed to evoke the deepest, most genuine terror.

The black serpent manipulated the clouds and mist, lifting its body and the half-dead silver dome lord, and moved closer to the city wall.

Jiang Chuan concealed himself within the aura of the Xuan Snake, without worrying at all about his true cultivation level being seen through by super-level mages like Zhu Meng.

As the black snake approached, Zhu Meng and the others stepped forward to greet it.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

Zhu Meng first performed a greeting as a peer, and Tang Zhong and the others followed suit.

"Greetings, everyone." Jiang Chuan smiled and returned the greeting, appearing nonchalant.

This further convinced everyone that the stranger in front of them was a high-level mage and that they needed to treat him with caution.

"I do not yet know your name," Zhu Meng said.

"You can call me Chuanhe," Jiang Chuan replied calmly.

"So it's Lord Chuanhe. I have a question, and I wonder if you could answer it for me?" Tang Zhong asked first.

"Speak."

"I want to know why you are standing on the head of the guardian... Xuan Snake," Tang Zhong asked, voicing his confusion.

Besides protecting his clan, he was also the only person outside the Tang family to have such a close relationship with the Xuan Snake.

Among the recent generations of guardians, only his niece Tang Yue has the best relationship with Xuan She.

"Oh, you mean this?"

Jiang Chuan was prepared for this and smiled, saying, "Judge Tang, I am also a totem guardian clan, but I am different from your Tang family. Our clan is a single-lineage clan, and there is very little information about us in the world."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhong revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

This answer did not surprise him.

China has many totems, and naturally, it also has many totem guardians.

The Tang family is just one of many guardians.

It's not surprising that there are other guardians, but there is one thing that is outside his knowledge.

That is, totem beasts usually only get close to their guardians. Even if they are not guardians, they have gone through some things together to gain the trust of the totem beast.

How did the man in front of me gain the trust of the Black Serpent?

Just as Tang Zhongxin was filled with doubt, Jiang Chuan seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled, "What I guard is the sacred beast totem, and the Xuan Snake is one of its offspring."

"A sacred beast totem?"

This title instantly transported Tang Zhong back many years, to a time when a sacred beast totem was recorded in an ancient book of his clan.

But didn't the sacred beast totem disappear long ago?

Unlike Tang Zhong, whose mind was filled with new questions, Zhu Meng's attention was entirely focused on the second half of Jiang Chuan's sentence.

If the incredibly powerful Xuan Snake is actually a descendant of the Sacred Beast Totem, then how powerful must that Sacred Beast Totem be?

Above the monarch... Emperor level.

Moreover, judging from this person's words, the sacred beast totem does not seem to be a single entity.

"Judge Tang, my purpose in coming to Hangzhou is to take away the Xuan Snake, which concerns the sacred beast totem. I hope you will not stop me," Jiang Chuan said.

"No way!" Tang Zhong blurted out.

The Tang family has been dedicated to protecting the Xuan Snake for generations. If the Xuan Snake is taken away, what will they protect?

Moreover, the Xuan Snake is of great significance to Hangzhou, as it can deter the surrounding demons, so it certainly cannot be taken away.

"I'm sorry, but I must take the Black Serpent with me. Since Judge Tang is unwilling, I will have no choice but to take it by force."

As Jiang Chuan finished speaking, the black serpent raised its body high, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow over Tang Zhong and the others.

The Silver Dome Lord was also left aside.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Your Excellency Chuanhe, a great plague is currently raging in Hangzhou. We need to find a cure for it, otherwise tens of thousands of people will die as a result," Zhu Meng said.

"plague?"

Jiang Chuan made a funny face: "If you're referring to the patients in the city who have contracted the Lingzhao plague rat poison, I don't think that counts as a plague."

Luo Mian's expression changed drastically in an instant, but returned to normal the next moment.

"Does Your Excellency know what the plague in Hangzhou is?" Zhu Meng asked hurriedly, as the safety of millions of people in Hangzhou was at stake, and he couldn't help but panic.

"Hmm." Jiang Chuan nodded gently: "I've examined the symptoms of the patients in the city, and they are consistent with those caused by infection with the Lingzhao plague rat toxin."

"This is Eagle Red Grass. Grind it into a paste and feed it to the patient. The symptoms will be relieved quickly." Jiang Chuan took out Eagle Red Grass from his spatial ring and tossed it to Zhu Meng.

After Zhu Meng received it, he immediately sent Hou Pingjing, the chief palace guard behind him, to conduct the experiment.

Upon seeing this, Luo Mian's eyes twitched.

He desperately wants to leave and stop Hou Pingjing, but he doesn't have a good reason.

"By the way, Councilor Zhu, I need to remind you that the toxins from the Lingzhua plague rat cannot cause a large-scale infection under normal circumstances." Jiang Chuan ended his sentence there.

This statement immediately aligned with Mr. Lu's speculation.

The intelligent Zhu Meng naturally realized the seriousness of the matter.

It's almost certainly a man-made disaster.

Just then, Tang Zhong's communicator rang.

As Tang Zhong took out the phone, his expression changed, and his gaze found Luo Mian and locked onto him.

"Luo Mian, don't you have anything to say?"
