On the way, Lingling began to explain the situation to Wang Feng in detail.
The general content was that the Black Totem Snake occasionally went out for a stroll, and a few days later, an epidemic began to appear in Hangzhou.
Then, someone with ulterior motives blamed the Black Totem Snake for this matter.
Zhu Meng, a councilman of the Hidden Danger Strategy, listed the Totem Black Snake as the primary hidden danger!
"What does the old man think about this?" Wang Feng asked.
"Grandpa left because he had something to do; he was the one who said you could solve it," Lingling said helplessly.
"So that's how it is. In that case, just leave this matter to me," Wang Feng nodded.
"No matter the outcome, Senior Sister, I owe you a favor!"
...
After getting off the high-speed train, Cold Green directly brought Wang Feng and Lingling to the Lingyin Judgment Association.
"Yueyue, I've brought someone!"
Pushing open the door, Cold Green called out.
Wang Feng followed Cold Green inside, and what greeted his eyes was a familiar figure of an older sister.
"Teacher Teacher Tang Yue, long time no see," Wang Feng said with a slight smile.
"It's you? You're the external help Cold Green mentioned?" Teacher Tang Yue was stunned when she saw Wang Feng.
She still had a deep impression of Wang Feng; after all, a young man from the Healing System, with not many cultivation resources, relied entirely on perseverance and cultivated to the Intermediate Level in just two short years.
"If there's no one else, then it should be me," Wang Feng nodded.
Teacher Tang Yue was a bit hesitant; she really couldn't imagine what ability Wang Feng had to save the Black Totem Snake.
"It seems Teacher Teacher Tang Yue doesn't believe me, but it doesn't matter, just prepare the reward," Wang Feng said.
"I don't have—"
"Alright, Teacher Teacher Tang Yue, please take me to the isolation area to see what this so-called epidemic is about," Wang Feng interrupted Teacher Tang Yue.
"Oh, oh."
Teacher Tang Yue nodded, and then Wang Feng and Lingling headed to the isolation area.
As for Cold Green, she rushed to the Hangzhou Magic Association to inquire about what others were saying.
...
Isolation Area.
At this time, there weren't many patients, about twenty or thirty.
Each of them showed signs of blisters on their bodies.
Wang Feng walked over to one of the patients and placed his hand on his pulse.
A moment later, a Healing Light fell upon the patient's body.
The gentle Healing Light could only alleviate the patient's pain but could not cure it completely.
"All the Healing Mages in Hangzhou have already tried; they said that the plague in these people simply cannot be cured by Healing System magic alone," Teacher Tang Yue said, pursing her lips.
"I know, Lingling, come here!" Wang Feng waved to Lingling.
Lingling was stunned for a moment, then ran to Wang Feng's side.
Wang Feng bent down and whispered a few words in her ear.
A hint of doubt flashed in Lingling's beautiful eyes, but she didn't say much, nodded, and left the isolation area with her long legs.
"Teacher Teacher Tang Yue, can you take me to see the Black Totem Snake?" Wang Feng asked.
Teacher Tang Yue was startled, hesitated for a moment, then nodded:
"Okay, follow me."
...
Passing through West Lake, Wang Feng and Teacher Tang Yue arrived at the uninhabited lake island, walking all the way to the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon before stopping.
"The Black Totem Snake is here. Do I need to summon it?" Teacher Tang Yue asked.
"I'll do it myself."
He stood not far from the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, and a moon-white Star Map appeared behind him.
As the Star Map unfolded, Wang Feng called out in a low voice:
"Little Qing, come out!"
Following Wang Feng's call, the Azure Dragon slowly flew out of his contract space.
The moment Teacher Tang Yue saw the Azure Dragon, her legs went weak, and she plopped down onto the ground.
Her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief: "This... this is the Azure Dragon?!"
At the same time, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the pool.
With a surge of water, the Black Totem Snake emerged from the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon.
However, the Black Totem Snake's gaze was fixed blankly on the little Azure Dragon in front of it.
Its totem mark on its body flickered slightly, as if resonating with the Azure Dragon.
(The Black Totem Snake is from the Black Tortoise lineage, but for some reason, during the Battle of Magic City, it could resonate with the Azure Dragon.)
A moment later, tears even appeared in the Black Totem Snake's enormous snake eyes.
Hiss~
The Black Totem Snake let out a low cry, its voice full of grievance, like a child seeing an adult, wanting to confide its suffering.
"Holy crap! A snake can cry! I've lived long enough to see everything!" Wang Feng was greatly shocked.
However, Wang Feng's Azure Dragon did not respond to the Black Totem Snake's call; it merely looked back at Wang Feng, as if waiting for his instructions.
"Cough cough, nice to meet you. I am the guardian of the Azure Dragon. The Azure Dragon has only recently revived, and its memory is still somewhat incomplete," Wang Feng coughed twice.
Upon hearing this, the mist in the Black Totem Snake's eyes gradually receded, and its gaze shifted from the Azure Dragon to Wang Feng.
"I believe you also have some news about the external epidemic. Someone with ulterior motives has pinned the source of the epidemic on you, so I came here to take a sample and clear your name," Wang Feng continued.
Upon hearing this, the Black Totem Snake nodded without hesitation, clearly trusting him.
Wang Feng smiled slightly, took out specialized equipment, and feigned drawing a tube of the Black Totem Snake's blood, venom, and bile, after which a Aquarius Starburst fell upon the Black Totem Snake.
Immediately after, a gray prompt box appeared before Wang Feng's eyes.
[Black Tortoise Soul]: One-fourth of the Black Tortoise's soul. Can be awakened once collected.
Wang Feng:???
What the heck?
The Black Totem Snake actually has a Black Tortoise soul... and it's incomplete?
Originally, Wang Feng thought he could get a Totem Skill (Heavenly Stele Seal) from the Black Totem Snake, or at worst, an ability like a Poison Mist Domain would also be good.
He never expected to replicate an incomplete Holy Totem Soul!
"One-fourth of the Black Totem Snake... Could Baxia also be one-fourth? Then where do I find the remaining half? Does the Black Tortoise have other descendants?"
Wang Feng suppressed the confusion in his heart and put away the apparatus and the Azure Dragon.
"Teacher Teacher Tang Yue, we can leave," Wang Feng turned and said to Teacher Tang Yue.
"Oh, okay." Teacher Tang Yue nodded, clearly still immersed in the shock from earlier.
"Ga~" The Black Totem Snake suddenly let out a low growl, with a hint of reluctance in its voice.
"Hmm? What did the Black Totem Snake say?" Wang Feng asked.
"The big guy said that if there's anything it can help with, just ask..." Teacher Tang Yue translated.
"Oh, don't worry, I won't be polite then!"
...
After leaving the lake island, Teacher Tang Yue could no longer hold back her question.
"Wang Feng, is what you summoned... the legendary Holy Totem Azure Dragon?"
"Yes, it's the Azure Dragon, but there are some discrepancies with what you know."
Wang Feng paused, then suddenly said, "Teacher Teacher Tang Yue, I'm sorry."
"What?"
Teacher Tang Yue hadn't reacted yet when she saw a pair of deep eyes, and then she lost consciousness.
"The news about the Azure Dragon cannot be revealed for now."
Wang Feng placed his hand on Teacher Tang Yue's forehead and then began to erase memories related to the Azure Dragon.
