Chapter 138 Crisis Eruption
When the constellation connection was completed, the power of space enveloped Qin Chen's entire body, opening up a space channel, allowing Qin Chen to easily travel through the space channel to the other end of the space channel.
"You, who are you?"
Dasheng, who was originally monitoring the movements of West Lake from the other side, wanted to monitor further after seeing Qin Chen flying to West Lake to see who would appear in West Lake at such a critical moment. However, he did not expect that someone would suddenly appear in front of him! Dasheng was only a mid-level mage and had never seen high-level space magic. When he saw Qin Chen suddenly appear in front of him, he subconsciously wanted to connect the star map to fight back.
"You should get some sleep first."
Before Dasheng could connect to the star map, Qin Chen moved his feet, and with his amazing physical strength, he instantly came behind Dasheng, chopped Dasheng on the back of the neck with a knife, knocked him unconscious, then found a deserted place to tie him up and stripped him of all his belongings. Even if Dasheng woke up, he would not be able to contact the people outside.
Qin Chen knew that this Dasheng was the one who betrayed Xuanshe and was specifically passing on Xuanshe's information. If it weren't for Tang Yue's sake, Qin Chen would have killed this guy long ago.
"Yueyue, let's go, we will take Xuanshe out of the city now, don't tell anyone, not even your uncle."
After taking care of Dasheng's affairs, Qin Chen returned to Tang Yue and said.
"You can't even tell your uncle? Why?"
Tang Yue asked doubtfully. Her uncle was the patriarch of their Tang family, the president of the Trial Council, an elder whom Tang Yue trusted, and the leader of the Black Snake Guardian Clan. She didn't understand why Qin Chen kept it a secret from her uncle.
Could it be that Qin Chen doesn't trust her uncle? "Tell me, if Tang Zhong were to choose between humans and black snakes, would he choose black snakes or choose?"
Qin Chen asked back, although Tang Zhong is the patriarch of the totem black snake guardian clan, Tang Zhong's protection of the black snake is not as strong as his protection of humans.
Because Tang Zhong is a human and the branch president of the Dragon Kingdom's Inquisition, he often thinks from the perspective of the Dragon Kingdom. So when he has to choose between the totem black snake and humans, Tang Zhong will choose humans instead of the black snake, even though the mission of protecting the black snake has been passed down for thousands of years.
This was the reason why Qin Chen didn't let Tang Yue tell Tang Zhong. As a human being, he knew best the inferiority of human beings. Human hearts were the most unpredictable. He didn't want any mistakes to happen in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Qin Chen, why are you asking this? Is there going to be a disaster in this city?" Tang Yue asked worriedly.
"It's nothing. Just listen to me. Don't tell Tang Zhong for now. Wait until the black snake sheds its skin. Believe me, I won't harm the black snake, nor you."
Looking at Tang Yue's eyes, Qin Chen knew that Tang Yue was too soft-hearted. Once those human leaders threatened Tang Yue with the safety of mankind, Tang Yue would definitely compromise, so Qin Chen could only hide it from Tang Yue.
At a time like this, if one's heart is too soft and not ruthless enough, one will become someone else's pawn. To accomplish great things, one must be ruthless and cannot be a saint. Since Tang Yue is soft-hearted, then Qin Chen will be the ruthless person.
"I trust you!"
Tang Yue looked at Qin Chen with a determined look and agreed with a soft heart. After all, the only one she could rely on now was Qin Chen. If she didn't trust Qin Chen, who else could she trust?
"Well, let's go, get out of town!"
Afterwards, with the help of Tang Yue's Shadow System, the two of them walked out of the city quietly. Not far outside the city, there was a group of continuous mountains. Their destination was this mountain range. There, there was a passage specially dug for the Black Snake. It was a shelter specially built for the Black Snake to survive its weak period.
At this moment, sitting in the courtroom hall in the city were all the high-ranking officials in the city, as well as super-class mages such as Councillor Zhu Meng and Councillor Luo Mian from the Hidden Danger Strategy Group.
"Tang Zhong, I just received news that the same situation has occurred in the city. Are you still protecting that black snake? Are you willing to watch the situation continue to deteriorate?"
Zhu Meng asked angrily. He had thought about getting rid of the Black Snake before because he thought it was a hidden danger. But now he found that it was no longer a hidden danger but an obvious threat. He became more determined to get rid of it.
"It is still unclear whether the plague was caused by God. Moreover, God has lived in the city for so many years and this has never happened before. There must be some reason behind this, but we just can't find it yet."
Tang Zhong said that as the patriarch of the Guardian clan, he naturally did not believe that the god he worshipped would do such a thing.
"The Black Snake of the past might not have done such a thing, but the Black Snake of today has entered the molting period, and its strength has greatly decreased. It is very sensitive. Once something threatening it appears, it may go crazy and leak its own toxins."
"The Black Snake is known as the ancestor of all poisons. Its toxins are extraordinary and have the potential to cause infectious diseases. This may also be the reason for the plague in the city this time. If we want to prove whether the plague is caused by the Black Snake, we only need to use the blood of the Black Snake and the plague on the person who has the plague to study and compare them, and we will know whether the plague comes from the Black Snake."
A middle-aged man with a goatee next to Zhu Meng said.
"Luo Mian, what's wrong with you?"
Tang Zhong looked at Luo Mian in disbelief. Luo Mian was originally on their side, inclined to protect the Black Snake. Moreover, Luo Mian's position as a councillor was obtained with Tang Zhong's support. Now Luo Mian actually betrayed them!!! "What? There is actually such a thing, Tang Zhong, what else do you have to say now?"
After hearing what Luo Mian said, Zhu Meng said angrily that he was just guessing at first, but he didn't expect that things were getting closer and closer to the truth!
"Report, more sick people have appeared in the city."
At this time, a communications soldier at the door said.
"Tang Zhong, did you see that? The first time there were two, the second time there were five, the third time there were thirteen, and now it's the fourth time, there are twenty-five. How long do you want to protect that beast?"
Zhu Meng pointed at Tang Zhong and cursed.
"Impossible, this was definitely not done by God. There must be other reasons that we haven't found out."
Tang Zhong said in a panic. Although he didn't believe that it was Black Snake who did it, if this matter couldn't be suppressed, Black Snake might be dragged out to vent his anger.
"Bang!!!!!"
"Tang Zhong, have you forgotten your identity? You are a human being, and you should protect the safety of humans, not that beast!"
Seeing that Tang Zhong was still so stubborn, Zhu Meng clapped his hands, smashing the table in front of him, and stood up and roared.
"How about this? We won't touch the Black Snake yet. Tang Zhong, you just go get some blood from the Black Snake. Then we can compare the Black Snake's blood with the plague to confirm whether the plague is caused by the Black Snake. How do you think?"
Just when Tang Zhong and Zhu Meng were arguing fiercely, Luo Mian next to them spoke up.
"Okay, let's do as Councillor Luo Mian said. Tang Zhong, do you agree?"
Seeing that Tang Zhong refused to give in, Zhu Meng agreed to Luo Mian's proposal.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Okay, I'll go find someone to get the black snake's blood."
With the ladder given by Luo Mian, Tang Zhong accepted it. At least he wanted to save the Black Snake first. If it was proved that the plague was not caused by the Black Snake, then the Black Snake could be saved.
"Mr. Luo Mian, why do you have to do this? Wouldn't it be better if we just kill the black snake directly?"
After Tang Zhong went out, Zhu Meng asked, what he wanted to do was to solve the problem once and for all, not to give Xuanshe a chance to clear his name.
"Councilor Zhu Meng may not know that the black snake lives under the West Lake. The seal at the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon contains a space. The power of the seal is very strong. Even a super-class magician cannot break the seal."
"If we go looking for them, the black snake will definitely hide in the seal and refuse to come out because of its reduced strength during the molting period, and we don't have a way to break the seal, so we will get nothing in the end."
"Let Tang Zhong lure out the Black Snake now, and we will follow Tang Zhong secretly. As soon as the Black Snake comes out, we will surround it immediately and not give it a chance to hide back in the seal. If we want to kill it, isn't it just a matter of thought?" Councillor Luo Mian said confidently.
"Great, really great! If we can get rid of the black snake this time and remove the hidden dangers for the city, Councillor Luo Mian will be credited with a great achievement!"
"Let's go, we'll follow immediately."
Zhu Meng's eyes lit up and he wondered why he hadn't thought of it before. Now that he thought about it, there was great potential.
Luo Mian is a super-class shadow mage. With Luo Mian leading the way, Tang Zhong could not notice that someone was following him. However, Luo Mian did not dare to follow too closely, for fear of being discovered by Tang Zhong.
"How is it possible that God is not in the seal!"
However, when Tang Zhong arrived at West Lake, he was stunned. Two hours ago, Qin Chen and Tang Yue had already taken the Black Snake out of the city and it was no longer there.
"Tang Yue, yes, it must be Tang Yue who took the God away."
Afterwards, Tang Zhong thought of Tang Yue. Logically speaking, a god in the molting period would not leave the seal. No one could take the god away except Tang Yue. Tang Zhong immediately took out his phone and wanted to contact Tang Yue.
"Beep, beep, sorry, the number you dialed is powered off. Please try again later."
"Beep, beep, sorry, the number you dialed is powered off. Please try again later."
"Beep, beep, sorry, the number you dialed is powered off. Please try again later."
Tang Zhong made three consecutive calls, but the phone was all turned off. At this moment, Tang Zhong's face became very ugly. He didn't expect that Tang Yue would take the god away without notifying him!
When Qin Chen and Tang Yue took the black snake away, Qin Chen had already asked Tang Yue to turn off her cell phone. To be on the safe side, he also asked Tang Yue to leave all her electronic devices at West Lake instead of carrying them with her. He was afraid that these electronic devices might be equipped with locators. He learned this from the little genius Lingling.
Lingling had installed locators on the cell phone and computer used by Qin Chen. He was very experienced in this area.
