Chapter 178 Capturing the Black Snake
Li Lan said, "According to the examination and tests, the disease in their bodies has penetrated deep into their bone marrow. Containment potions and healing magic can only suppress the characteristics displayed by the body, but cannot prevent the disease from continuing to proliferate in the bone marrow."

"When it reaches a certain level, the patient will die immediately. Our treatments can only relieve the patient's pain and prolong their lives, but cannot prevent them from dying."

This statement made by Li Lan is extremely credible.

Zhu Meng believed it completely, not knowing at all that the two patients were criminals chosen by An Yuan and deliberately killed as bait with the plague.

The purpose is to make everyone pay attention to this epidemic.

After all, as soon as the epidemic appeared, Li Lan took out the containment agent.

Diseases that can be alleviated and do not cause death will definitely not receive people's attention.

Only an incurable terminal illness that could cause the death of a large number of people will become the top priority that the Hangzhou top leaders must resolve!
"So, everyone who gets sick will die?"

Zhu Meng clenched his fists.

Li Lan shook his head. "Not necessarily. The length of time a patient can resist the disease depends on their physical condition. But what is certain is that people who are sick for more than seven days have a chance of dying."

Zhu Meng took a deep breath and said, "As far as I know, the number of people infected has reached four figures!"

An Yuan nodded, "Yes, the total number is 4729, and this is just the number of infections in seven days. There will probably be more in the future."

Li Lan said in a deep voice, "I will hurry up to research the antidote, but the research is currently at a standstill. Only when we find the source of the disease can we continue the research. Councillor Zhu Meng, I hope you can help find a solution."

"The source... the source..."

Zhu Meng frowned, "I understand, leave this matter to me."

What else could be the source of the epidemic other than the black snake?
Otherwise, why did such a terrible epidemic break out in Hangzhou as soon as the black snake appeared?

Tang Zhong, let’s see how you can keep your stubbornness this time.

Demons are demons, their vicious nature is hard to eliminate and they are a hidden danger that must be resolved!

"Ms. Li Lan, I'm counting on you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Zhu Meng left in a hurry.

Li Lan looked at the rotting corpse and said, "If there is no medicine to contain this disease, it will be so serious, with a mortality rate of 100%."

An Yuan said, "After all, it is something that demons eat. Even mid-level mages will have a hard time resisting it after being infected, but high-level mages may be able to heal themselves."

Li Lan sighed, "What a terrible epidemic! Councillor Luo Mian deserves death. He actually used fake hemostatic agents tainted with the epidemic to make profits, and even killed so many people."

"He just wanted to make money with fake hemostatic agents, but he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious. After the incident, there was no turning back, and he could only blame Black Snake. Black Snake's appearance seemed to be designed to be Luo Mian's savior."

"Okay, Li Lan, I'll use my mind magic to determine the death list, which has dozens of people poisoned to death every day. I'm going to contact Zhu Meng and try to get him to stay and help."

"Well, leave it to me."

……

Zhu Meng convened another meeting to explain that the epidemic was beginning to kill people.

"If we continue like this, and we can't find the source, I don't know how many people will die in Hangzhou! Tang Zhong, are you still stubborn?"

Tang Zhong was stunned for a few seconds before digesting the bad news. He looked at the people standing behind Zhu Meng in the meeting, with a bitter smile on his face:
"The Black Snake is the totem that protects Hangzhou City. Without it, the city would have been in ruins. Even if it has made a mistake now, I don't want to kill it."

"I only have one request, to spare its life, even if it means expelling it."

Zhu Meng slammed the table and said righteously, "Tang Zhong, that is a monarch who has feelings for Hangzhou. If you let it live, how can you be sure that the Black Snake will not come back? With its ability, it will be able to develop a tribe that is no less powerful than the White Magic Eagle in a few years. Can you in Hangzhou defeat it?"

"I will never joke about the safety of the people. I must kill this snake!" "Tell me quickly, where did you take it?"

Tang Zhong said in a deep voice, "Please forgive me for not wanting to tell you. Even if you arrest me and hold me responsible for this epidemic, I will not tell you."

Zhu Meng said angrily, "It's unreasonable! You disregard the lives of the people for a demon. Do you think I don't know that your niece Tang Yue and a man appeared in Bai Town? Wait, I will definitely kill the black snake and hand its body to Ms. Li Lan to completely solve the epidemic!"

……

"Councilman Zhu Meng, Dean Chi asked me to help you. Did the meeting come to any conclusion?"

As soon as Zhu Meng left the Magic Association, he met An Yuan who was waiting outside.

"Although Hangzhou has the traitor Tang Zhong, with young people like you, the future is still worth looking forward to."

Zhu Meng sighed, "It's good that you have this intention, but the black snake has a strong sense of perception. High-level mages and commanding creatures within a radius of 20 miles cannot escape its detection. You are already a high-level mage, and you will be discovered by the black snake as long as you get close."

"I have already dispatched a mid-level mage from the Inquisition. We will definitely be able to capture Tang Yue and bring justice to the people!"

An Yuan shook his head. "Member Zhu Meng, Tang Yue is already a high-level mage, and the man next to her is called Mo Fan, a genius student at the Pearl Academy. Neither of them is easy to deal with."

"To be on the safe side, let me do my part."

Zhu Meng thought of An Yuan's strong cohesion in Hangzhou Academy, stroked his beard, and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, Tang Yue and the others have fled to Baishan, you should also contribute."

"Baishan? Councillor Zhu Meng, I'll take my leave first."

"it is good."

Zhu Meng looked at An Yuan's departing back with admiration in his eyes:

"As expected of An Yuan, who is known as the 'Light of China'. His character and ability are far ahead of other young people."

"With An Yuan in this election, the battle for the national government is finally worth watching."

……

When An Yuan arrived at Baishan, it was already dark.

Zhu Meng thought that An Yuan would call on the followers of the academy to take action, but in fact, An Yuan did not need to mobilize a large army to deal with Mo Fan and Tang Yue.

As for the fact that the black snake can sense all high-level magicians within a twenty-mile radius during its molting period, An Yuan believes there is a solution to this problem.

"Youmeng."

The body of thoughts escapes into the dream world.

An Yuan used the magic of dream wandering to cut the entire dream galaxy, as well as most of the mind and lightning galaxies, and escaped into the illusion along with most of the spiritual world.

In the real spiritual world, there are only 49 mind and lightning stars left, and the magic energy reserves are equivalent to a fully repaired nebula.

Unless there is a means to explore the dream world, even if a forbidden spell wizard examines, he will only conclude that An Yuan is a mid-level wizard!
An Yuan once used this method to evade the inspection of the Magic Association and conceal the existence of the Dream System.

Nowadays, you can also use this method to make yourself look like you are only at the middle level.

"I only have the mental strength of the early sixth realm left. I haven't felt this weak in a long time."

An Yuan took advantage of the night and set foot on the cool mountain road, looking calm, "Let's go meet Mo Fan and Tang Yue and catch the black snake back."
