Chapter 137 Black Snake Incident
"Brother, you are right. The Three-Step Tower is really a cheating tool for cultivation. This is a treasured place for cultivation that countless mages dream of!"
Behind Qin Chen, a boy who had walked out of the Three-Step Tower like him said, with a bright smile on his face, his smugness was self-evident, and a faint aura of thunder element emanated from his body. It was obvious that he had just broken through not long ago and could not control his own elemental aura well.
"From the looks of you, brother, are you from Lei Academy? Did you come to the Three-Step Tower to get a breakthrough?" Qin Chen said with a smile.
"Hahaha, brother, you really have a good eye for talent. You know, in order to come to the Three-Step Tower to practice, I have contributed a year to finally exchange for three days of practice in the Three-Step Tower. I finally broke through to the second intermediate level. After I go back this time, you will see my name on the top 300 ranking list of Leiyuan next month. My name is Huang Leijun. May I know your name, brother?"
Huang Leijun boasted proudly.
"Congratulations, Brother Huang. I would like to congratulate Brother Huang in advance for being promoted to the top 300 of the ranking. My name is Qin Chen, an unknown person. I cannot compare with Brother Huang who is ranked in the top 300 of the Leiyuan."
Qin Chen said this with a smile on his face, and then he chatted with Huang Leijun for a few more words before leaving.
"Strange, why does the name Qin Chen sound a little familiar?"
After Qin Chen left, Huang Leijun realized that Qin Chen's name seemed very familiar, but he didn't know where he had heard it.
"Nonsense, Qin Chen is the number one student in the Fire College of the main campus of Pearl College. He even won the title of number one student in the Fire College as a freshman. How can he not sound familiar?"
The student guarding the Three-Step Pagoda nearby looked at Huang Leijun speechlessly. He saw the entire conversation between Huang Leijun and Qin Chen just now, and was even more speechless about Huang Leijun's behavior. Showing off his strength and ranking in front of Qin Chen was like showing off his sword in front of Guan Gong.
"Forehead"
After knowing Qin Chen's identity, the excitement of Huang Leijun's breakthrough was immediately dampened. He left the Three-Step Tower awkwardly, fearing that others would know that he had just boasted about his ranking to Qin Chen.
"Qin Chen, where are you?"
Qin Chen had just returned to his apartment when he received a call from Tang Yue, whose tone was filled with deep worry.
"I'm in the Magic City, Yueyue, what's wrong with you? Did anything happen?"
Qin Chen asked hurriedly. Normally, Tang Yue always acted like an older sister. Even if she felt wronged or unhappy, she would not show it in front of him. But now Tang Yue's condition was obviously not right, and he knew that something must have happened.
"Qin Chen, it's the big guy. I'm worried that some people want to harm the big guy."
Tang Yue said sobbingly. Qin Chen knew about the big guy that Tang Yue mentioned. It was the Totem Black Snake. Since he became Tang Yue's boyfriend, Tang Yue naturally took him to see the Totem Black Snake. Because Qin Chen had the aura of Suzaku, the Totem Black Snake would naturally not hurt him and even showed its affection towards him.
"Wait, I'm going to West Lake soon. You wait for me at West Lake. We can talk about everything after I get there."
After hearing Tang Yue's words, Qin Chen knew what was going on. Obviously, someone wanted to get rid of the Totem Black Snake and did not want the Totem Black Snake to stay in the human city. Some people even wanted to use the Totem Black Snake to take the blame.
After saying that, Qin Chen immediately calmed down and thought carefully about his next plan to go to West Lake. This incident involved a congressman and would attract the Grand Lord-level Silver Dome Lord. If he was not careful, he would be trapped in it and unable to extricate himself, so before he went, he must think of a foolproof plan.
After thinking for a few minutes and finalizing the plan, Qin Chen immediately summoned the little sky colt and galloped towards the Qingtian Hunting Ground.
In the Qingtian Hunting House, Lingling was drinking milk tea and reading a book in a bored manner. When she saw Qin Chen running towards her in a hurry, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Lingling, let's go, something big is happening!"
Qin Chen entered the Qingtian Hunting Ground. After seeing Lingling, he took her on horseback and galloped towards the Magic City Airport.
"Big event, what big event?"
Lingling asked excitedly. Qin Chen had been in seclusion for more than two months, and Lingling was really annoyed. Now that she heard about a big event, she immediately became excited.
"Someone in Hangzhou has recently been suffering from a plague. Some people have rumored that it was spread by the giant skyscraper snake that appeared in Hangzhou recently. But I know that this plague is definitely not the same as the rumor, so I suspect that there must be something complicated behind this matter."
"And I've also investigated and found that all of these people who were suffering from the plague had one thing in common, which was that they had bought blood potions in Bai Town. So I suspect that their illness might be related to the blood potion."
Qin Chen simply told Lingling what happened.
"The production of blood potions has gone through the Magic Association. If there is a problem with the blood potion, it will definitely involve the magic high-level. The real mastermind behind the scenes is at least a deputy chief judge, or even higher. Are you sure there is a problem with the blood potion?"
Lingling thought for a while and asked seriously. Her sister Leng Qing was the deputy chief judge of the Lingyin Trial Council. If the facts were really as Qin Chen said, then this matter would be very scary.
"At least I'm sure that the source of the plague is not the giant snake, so the only clue now is the blood. Moreover, I have a feeling that this matter will get worse and worse. If it is not stopped in time, something even worse might happen." Qin Chen said.
"Okay, I'll contact my sister and ask her to cooperate with our investigation. This will be faster."
When Lingling heard what Qin Chen said, she guessed something and immediately contacted Leng Qing.
"Lingling, let's split up. You go to Bai Town to investigate the blood potion. I'll let Xiao Tianju follow you to protect your safety while I investigate the situation regarding the skyscraper giant snake."
After getting off the plane, Qin Chen asked Xiao Tianju to follow Lingling, and he flew to West Lake, where someone was waiting for him.
"Xiao Tianju, let's go to Baizhen!"
After Qin Chen left, Lingling excitedly sat on the back of the little tianju and said that although Qin Chen was not around, Lingling, who had an adventurous spirit, liked the feeling of letting herself go.
"hiss!!!!"
When the little Tianju heard Lingling's words, he immediately spread his wings and flew high, carrying Lingling to Bai Town. The commander-level little Tianju could fly very fast, and he arrived at Bai Town in less than a quarter of an hour.
Later, Lingling, with the help of Leng Qing, the deputy chief judge, investigated the blood medicine in Baizhen. Not only that, Leng Qing also used the power of the deputy chief judge to track down the people involved in the production process of this batch of medicines . Qin Chen flew towards the West Lake at full speed with the flaming wings of the Vermillion Bird behind him. In just three minutes, he arrived at the West Lake from the airport. In the center of the West Lake, a unique courtyard stood above the West Lake. In the courtyard, the mature, charming, and enchanting Tang Yue was leaning on a recliner, looking at the West Lake with worried eyes.
"Yueyue, here I come!"
Qin Chen moved in an instant and came behind Tang Yue, hugging her gently. When he got closer, he found that Tang Yue looked very haggard, and a sickly white color appeared on her originally rosy face.
"Qin Chen, do you have any way to save the big guy?"
When Tang Yue felt the familiar breath and warm embrace behind her, she immediately spoke out all the grievances in her heart. These days, she heard all kinds of rumors every day, all about Xuan Snake, and Zhu Meng, a member of the Forbidden City Court's hidden danger strategy, even threatened to kill Xuan Snake.
If things continue to ferment, I'm afraid they will really get out of control. Moreover, at this time, the black snake is in the process of shedding its skin, and its strength has greatly decreased. It is very likely to be killed by Zhu Meng and others.
She grew up with Xuan Snake since she was a child. Xuan Snake was like her elder and the support in her heart. She really didn't want Xuan Snake to get into trouble, but she had no way to prove that Xuan Snake was innocent, which undoubtedly put her in a desperate situation.
In this situation, the first person she thought of was Qin Chen. Now she could only rely on Qin Chen! "Don't worry, I have thought of a way to save you guys!"
Qin Chen stroked Tang Yue's back and comforted her.
"Really? What's the solution?"
Seeing this, Tang Yue immediately looked at Qin Chen expectantly and asked.
"Yueyue, let me ask you first, do you have the totem bead?"
Qin Chen asked, the totem bead is a totem vessel that can hold the black snake. In special periods, the huge body of the black snake can hide in the totem bead.
"Well, it's in my hand. My uncle left the totem bead with me just in case. If things can't be done, let me take the black snake out of Hangzhou and come back after the molting period." Tang Yue nodded.
"Okay, Yueyue, let the black snake enter the totem bead now. We will take the black snake out of the city first. I have found clues about the plague. Lingling is investigating. The results show that the plague is not caused by the black snake's venom." Qin Chen said.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"What? It wasn't caused by us? If that's the case, then quickly present the results of the investigation to prove our innocence, so that we won't be misunderstood."
When Tang Yue heard Qin Chen's words, she said excitedly that these days, she was worried that the plague was caused by a big guy, so she was very conflicted. On one side was the totem black snake like her elder, and on the other side were human beings like herself. The choice between the two made Tang Yue very uncomfortable. Now that she heard that the source of the plague was not the black snake, the conflict in her heart finally disappeared. What she wanted to do most now was to prove the innocence of the black snake.
"Yueyue, don't get excited. Listen to me. Although we have found out that the source of the plague is not the Black Snake, we have not found out what the source of the plague is, nor have we found a solution to the plague. In this case, because the Black Snake is a demon, they will not believe that the plague was not caused by the Black Snake."
"In order to prevent someone from taking this opportunity to kill the Black Snake, and to protect the Black Snake, we must transfer the Black Snake first. Wait until the Black Snake has shed its skin, or until we find a solution to the plague, and then let the Black Snake come back. This is the safest way."
Qin Chen said earnestly that what he feared most was that Tang Yue would choose to believe the words of those higher-ups because of her soft-heartedness and kindness, which would end up hurting others and herself.
"That's fine. I trust you and will do as you say."
After Tang Yue calmed down, she thought of Zhu Meng's expression when he was determined to eradicate the Black Snake. She was very worried about the safety of the Black Snake, so she agreed with Qin Chen's approach.
"Big guy."
As he spoke, Tang Yue walked to the side of the West Lake, took out the totem plant, and spoke to the area below the West Lake.
“Gah!!!”
As Tang Yue finished her words, the originally clear bottom of the West Lake turned dark, and a huge blue-black snake head poked out from the bottom of the lake. The snake's eyes, which were bigger than lanterns, were so shining, and the entire snake head was bigger than a courtyard house. This was only the head of the black snake, so you can imagine how big its entire body must be!
Qin Chen now looked at the black snake carefully, and then compared it with the water dragon he had encountered before. The final result showed that the black snake's head was smaller. If compared with the body, the black snake's body was longer and larger. After all, snakes' heads are generally smaller, while dragons' heads are generally larger.
"Big guy, long time no see."
When Qin Chen saw Xuan Snake coming out, he also walked forward, shoulder to shoulder with Tang Yue, and greeted Xuan Snake.
“Gah!!!”
The black snake has a good impression of Qin Chen. Generally, during the period of shedding its skin, it is very sensitive and does not allow high-level magicians to approach it within a hundred miles, but Qin Chen and Tang Yue are exceptions.
"Big guy, someone wants to harm you this time. You hide in the totem bead first. We will take you out of Hangzhou and come back after you finish shedding your skin."
Tang Yue gently touched the black snake's head and said.
“Gah!!!!!!”
After hearing Tang Yue's words, the black snake turned into a puff of smoke, and then its entire body shrank and entered the totem bead.
"By the way, Yueyue, is there anyone else in West Lake besides you? Or is there anyone monitoring the movements in West Lake?"
After the black snake entered the totem bead, Qin Chen suddenly asked.
"Yes, he is one of my clansmen, named Dasheng. Do you suspect him?" Tang Yue asked with a frown.
"The news that we are taking the Black Snake out of the city must not be leaked out, at least not before we leave the city. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave the city at all. What's more, how did Zhu Meng know the news that the Black Snake was shedding its skin? The Black Snake is the patron saint of the Tang family. The news about the Black Snake shedding its skin must have been leaked by someone from the Tang family. Dasheng, this is very suspicious." Qin Chen said.
"String-Exploration"
"Spatial Sensing"
As he spoke, Qin Chen used sound magic and his spatial talent to explore the surroundings, and soon found the location of the man named Dasheng.
"Qin Chen, don't hurt Dasheng before you have evidence."
Although Tang Yue agreed with Qin Chen's words, she was still soft-hearted and didn't want to hurt anyone.
"Okay, I won't hurt him, I just want him to have a good sleep." Qin Chen said.
"Move in a flash-Leap"
As he spoke, the silver stars around Qin Chen emerged from his body and quickly formed star tracks around him. The star tracks were connected into a star map, and the star maps were combined into a mysterious and perfect constellation. The silver constellation composed of 343 stars was dazzling, and the mysterious pattern represented a space magic.
