Full-time Creation Master

"Thank you so much, Little Lingling!" Mo Fan gritted his teeth, but still quickly expressed his loyalty to Tang Yue.

Naturally, he mentioned the snake!

"Hehehe~~~~" Teacher Tang Yue covered her mouth and laughed, "So you do know how to be afraid after all!"

"Look at what you're saying. I may be a little mischievous, but I'm still human. How could I not know fear?" Mo Fan was speechless, and the misunderstanding in their relationship was finally cleared up.

With a quick glance around, she suddenly moved closer to Chu Ming, who had been quiet all along.

"Boss, boss!"

"Did you see that snake shadow this morning?"

"I'm so sorry!" Chu Ming forced a laugh. "When the snake shadow appeared this morning, Lingling and I were surrounded by tall buildings, which completely blocked our view, so we couldn't see it!"

"Huh?" Mo Fan had no doubt about Chu Ming's good luck, but was still bothered by his own bad luck. "Am I really that unlucky?"

"No, it isn't!" Chu Ming stopped teasing Mo Fan, seeing how nervous he was. "The shadow you mentioned that's as tall as a building is the Xuan Snake!"

We, well, the rest of us here except you, we met yesterday!

You saw it today, and it wasn't just you. According to internal statistics, 7 ordinary people and more than 1500 monks saw it!

However, only about 2000 people actually need psychological treatment!

"Why?" Mo Fan looked completely bewildered.

"Because the more you know, the more you realize your own insignificance, and the more fearful you become in the face of greatness!" Lingling interjected. "And many ignorant and fearless people would be terrified of a monarch-level Xuan Snake just as much as they would be of a roadside serpent!"

"Little Lingling, rounding up your words, you're practically praising me?" Mo Fan instantly understood, "A stroke of bad luck?"

"Think what you want!" Leng Lingling flicked her ponytail.

"How should I treat this? Hurry up and do it for me!" Mo Fan said anxiously. He had been terrified for the past two hours!

"No problem!" Tang Yue cooperated with Lingling, intending to teach Mo Fan a lesson. "Memory Hammer, Forgetfulness Worm, Nightmare Weaving, Mind Therapy—which one do you plan to choose?"

"Are there any other options?" Mo Fan swallowed hard. Why were all these names so terrifying?!

"Yes!" Tang Yue said with a smile, "Face it head-on, and test your willpower to overcome it!"

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss~~~~~~~"

Suddenly, a low growl that could penetrate deep into one's soul rang out, right near the island in the middle of the lake that they had just arrived at!

Mo Fan trembled all over, staring at his teacher Tang Yue in disbelief.

"You...you don't tell me...it's right here!" Mo Fan's expression turned strange.

Just now, Teacher Tang Yue and the little genius Lingling were explaining the relationship between totems, black snakes, guardians, demons... to me!

Mo Fan believed what Teacher Tang Yue said; totems did indeed exist in history books.

But whenever he recalls its sudden appearance, Mo Fan remembers the fear he felt at that time, and then cold sweat breaks out all over his body.

"Yes, it's over there." Tang Yue pointed outside.

"Teacher Tang Yue, why don't we go back and talk about that? Let's go to your house," Mo Fan said.

"Hehehe, you don't need to be so afraid of it. It won't hurt you. How about I take you to say hello to it?" Tang Yue kept laughing.

"No need, no need, it's your god, you can worship him."

"I'm an outsider, God might not like my accent," Mo Fan said earnestly.

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding you anymore."

"It does indeed live in West Lake, but under normal circumstances, you couldn't find it even if you dug three feet into the ground," Tang Yue said.

"It slumbered within the seal of Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. Around the time the Black Vatican came to Shanghai to cause you trouble, the seal of Three Pools Mirroring the Moon became unstable."

This is why it can freely enter and exit HZ City and the Three Pools Seal. Tang Yue led Mo Fan to a place where he could see the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon.

Mo Fan glanced at the three stone sculptures that looked like incense burners standing on the water. The fact that they could stand like that suggested that they had long roots underwater.

They are arranged in a perfectly symmetrical triangular position, with the firelight in the furnace gently flickering and reflected on the black water surface that mirrors the bright moon.

"It possesses eyes of fear, and most creatures weaker than it will plant a seed of fear within them."

The seed will grow strong deep within the soul, and one day it may grow into a towering tree without you even realizing it.

"Only when you encounter it again will you find your legs involuntarily buckling down, surrendering in fear, without any courage to resist," Tang Yue explained to Mo Fan's strange behavior.

"I guessed so. In this world, apart from a woman like Teacher Tang Yue, no demon or monster could make me lose sleep day and night." Mo Fan smiled, pretending to be relaxed.

"You smooth talker!" Tang Yue gave Mo Fan a charmingly disdainful eye roll.

Tang Yue taught Mo Fan a way to overcome his inner fear. The method was simple, just as she had said before: "The best and least side-effect-free method is to use your willpower to overcome it!"

No matter how afraid you are, you must not look away. Once you overcome your fear, the seed of fear will never take root and sprout again.

Otherwise, it will be plagued by nightmares and never find peace.

Mo Fan tried it once. It sounded simple to Tang Yue, but it was definitely not an easy thing to do. Even just fighting against it in the mental world of his mind, Mo Fan still broke out in a cold sweat.

However, the effect was immediate; the fear gradually dissipated as the cold sweat on his body dried.

Once the fear had completely dissipated and the sword no longer hung over his head, Mo Fan couldn't help but wonder if he should meet this "god" that had shocked the world.

After all, it's a snake of supreme monarch caliber, and a totem at that!

I've never seen anything like it before...

totem……

I think I've heard it before, that in ancient times some human tribes had their own flags, with totem guardian beasts drawn on them...

The word "totem" has been mentioned in history books. In ancient times, humans used to worship totem animals in order to seek peace in their habitat.

These totem creatures are neither real demons nor summoned beings.

They are a very special group of beings who have no intention of killing humans; on the contrary, they are willing to coexist with and even protect them.

Unfortunately, the totem beasts became legends a thousand years ago, disappearing into history just like the Golden Fire Cavalry, the Black Armor Army, and the Cloud Guards.

In this era where magic based on the star points issued by the Holy City is prevalent, and humanity possesses self-protection abilities, it seems that only the concept of summoning creatures exists, and the idea of ​​totem beasts has disappeared...

Moreover, and most importantly, this snake belongs to us, well, to Teacher Tang Yue, so it's practically ours!

The Black Serpent is an ancient totem beast that the Tang clan has protected for generations, and in turn, it protects the city.

Nowadays, many magical organizations fear the overwhelming power of totem beasts, so many authoritative organizations still hold an opposing attitude. In addition, totem beasts are indeed gradually being sealed away over the years, and totems can no longer see the light of day again, nor are they accepted by people.

But it's okay!

I accept it; I don't mind that it's monarchical, dangerous, and ancient!
