Eagle Red Grass Totem Black Serpent

Chapter 39 Eagle Red Grass Totem Black Serpent

With the combined efforts of a group of highly skilled mages, even tens of thousands of white demon eagles were severely blocked, and their corpses fell one after another.

The West Fortress slaughtered countless White Demon Eagles throughout the night; all that was left was the memory of blood staining the fortress and the ground covered with layers of corpses.

The supreme leader of the White Eagles seemed to realize that this force was insufficient and that more troops needed to be gathered to break through the human defenses, so he roared in retreat.

Thus, the White Eagle Legion, which had been like a storm, completely dispersed after dawn and flew back to its mountains.

However, the situation is not optimistic.

Instead of retreating to their old nest in the Western Ridge, the White Eagle Legion has gathered in the forests closest to the fortress, ready to launch another attack at any moment.

However, this also allows the defensive mages of the West Fortress to take a short break.

The light of dawn shone on countless mages who were slowly descending from the sky, and the reflections of their bodies revealed the cruelty of war!

The blood on the clothes and the wounds and mutilation on the body were all vividly displayed.

No one lingered too long; instead, they quickly returned to the fortress to heal their wounds or replenish their mana.

Even Gojo Satoru was covered in blood, some of his own, some of the demons', and some of his companions'.

"Let's go, brother, let's go back and rest for a bit," a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau said as he walked up to Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru turned around and entered the western fortress with Nagun, where they closed their eyes and rested for a while.

……

After resting, Gojo Satoru headed towards the Strategy Hall.

During this period, all the super-level mages in Hangzhou who could pose a threat to monarch-level demons had gathered at the Strategy Hall.

After all, news of the western fortress had already been sent back; it would be a problem if it hadn't arrived yet.

He ran quickly to the entrance of the Strategy Hall, but before he could even go inside, he heard some good news.

"We've found the antidote; it's a special herb that grows in Xiling—Eagle Red Grass. As long as we can harvest this herb, the plague will quickly subside!"

"Can this eagle-red herb really save patients?" Councilor Zhu Meng asked eagerly.

"Absolutely true. We also discovered that the reason the White Demon Eagle attacked the West Fortress was because of the virus!" Mr. Lu said solemnly.

"What's going on now?" Military Commander Yunfeng asked in confusion.

"What you may not know is that the Plague Rat with Claws is the White Demon Eagle's favorite food. And now, those who have used the counterfeit blood serum all have some diseased blood in their bodies. So the White Demon Eagle is using those people as food to increase its strength!" Mr. Deer said.

"Damn Luo Mian, I wish I could execute him right now!" Zhu Meng said angrily.

"Your Excellency, our most urgent task is to find a way to retrieve the Eagle Red Grass from Xiling," Wu Jingping advised.

Soon, the strategic meeting room fell silent. Everyone was at a loss, unable to think of any way to obtain the Eagle Red Grass.

As Gojo Satoru was deep in thought, a teenager suddenly burst through the door, shouting before anyone could react, "I have a way to collect Eagle Crimson Grass! I have a way to collect Eagle Crimson Grass!"

"Where did this ill-mannered brat come from? Drag him out and punish him with a flogging!" Military Commander Yun Feng cursed.

"Wait a minute." Gojo Satoru stopped the two guards who were about to throw the boy away, then stepped forward to help him up and said softly, "Since you can't do it, why don't you listen to other people's ideas?"

"Then let's listen to it."

Upon seeing Gojo Satoru covered in blood, Gunji Yunfeng was no longer so casual.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Gojo Satoru patiently asked, "You said you could collect Eagle Red Grass, what method did you use?"

Mo Fan and Lingling then ran in.

"There's another Sky Eagle, there's another Sky Eagle inside the West Fortress! It obeys my orders, and I can ride it to sneak into the West Ridge to collect Eagle Red Grass," Wang Xiaojun said, clearing her throat.

"Weren't all the Skyhawks executed? Why do you still have one here!" Ming Kuo of the Military Intelligence Bureau exclaimed, his eyes wide.

"I disobeyed military orders and released the eagle I raised since it was a cub," Wang Xiaojun said in a low voice.

Military Commander Yun Feng's eyes lit up; this disobedience of military orders was perfectly timed!

"It's no use. There are monarch-level eagles among the White Demon Eagles. Under its bloodline suppression, the Sky Eagles will rebel, won't they?" Judge Li Tian said.

"No, my Skyhawk bloodline is mixed and doesn't seem to be under the control of that monarch-level eagle. I even managed to bring it back last night," Wang Xiaojun said.

Hearing Wang Xiaojun's words, a glimmer of hope ignited in everyone's eyes.

If these viruses can be completely eradicated as soon as possible, the White Eagle Legion of the Western Fortress will most likely retreat on its own.

After all, the White Eagle's nature is to protect its territory, and such a large-scale attack on the West Fortress must have a special reason.

"My lord, I think we should give this young man a try," Judge Li Tian said.

The other members of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the presiding judge at the meeting also agreed.

"Alright, your name is Wang Xiaojun, right? If you really bring back the Eagle Red Grass, I, in the name of the Military Command, hereby appoint you as the Guardian of Hangzhou! A great achievement!"

Wang Xiaojun immediately saluted the military commander and said, "I will definitely complete the mission!"

"Wang Xiaojun, you need to know that the Xiling Nest is a place even more dangerous than the battlefield. Once you go there, you may not come back. Are you sure you want to do something like this at such a young age?" Wu Tiao Wu couldn't help but remind him.

He was moved by the boy. Everyone present was stronger than him, but when everyone else was powerless, this weak boy stepped forward.

Wang Xiaojun hesitated for a moment, then saluted everyone and said earnestly, "I will come back alive!"

Seeing this, Wu Tiao Wu said nothing more, but turned to Mo Fan and said, "How long will it take for your giant serpent to recover its fighting strength? From my observation today, the monarch of this group of white demon eagles is very strong. It will be difficult to take it down with just a few super-level beings here!"

Before Mo Fan could speak, Zhu Meng glared at him and retorted, "You, a high-level cultivator, dare to comment on us Supreme Mages? That's utterly rebellious!"

"That's right, we haven't even fought yet, and you, you brat, are already trying to demoralize the troops." Military Commander Yun Feng was also very angry.

"I'm just guaranteeing that everything will be foolproof. If you can win, you won't need Orochi, but what if you lose?" Gojo Satoru asked seriously.

Upon hearing this, both Councilor Zhu Meng and Military Commander Yun Feng fell silent.

They were confident in themselves, but life-or-death battles are inherently unpredictable.

"To be honest, I'm not sure," Judge Li Tian said truthfully.

"The totem black snake needs at least half a month to a month to get through its molting period," Tang Zhong answered Wu Tiaowu's question.

"Is there a way to speed this up?" Gojo Satoru pressed.

"The totem serpent is the progenitor of poison, so resources in this area should be plentiful," Tang Zhong guessed.

"Then let's try the counterfeit blood serum on the Totem Serpent. Currently, only this giant serpent can turn the tide for Hangzhou after we've lost!" Gojou said after thinking for a moment.

"No, what if that giant snake harbors hatred and turns back to attack us!" Zhu Meng said.

"If this won't work and that won't work, then you'd better come up with a better solution, Mr. Councilor!" Gojo Satoru said speechlessly.

"Let's try it as he suggested!" Judge Li Tian said.

The others followed Zhu Meng's idea.

Finally, Tang Zhong turned his gaze to Zhu Meng and said earnestly, "Sir Councilor, please believe in the Xuan Snake totem this once!"

After a long silence, Zhu Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll believe you this once!"

"There's no time to lose, Mo Fan, you go quickly, and we should also set off to meet the enemy!" Gojou looked towards the top of the western fortress, where a large flock of white demon eagles was coming again.

"Walk!"
