378 The Angry Crowd, Kill the Snake! (2/2)

The Black Totem Snake was covered all over with cuts and bruises. His unyielding gaze began to show a hint of fatigue.

He was getting too weak. He was already suffering a punishment from the law of nature due to the ecdysis, and now he was trapped within the destructive lightning formation established by the humans. He no longer had the same spirit of trying to break free from the formation. The lightning bolts continued to strike him recklessly.

He could hear the voices of the crowd coming from the shore. As a matter of fact, he was not too bothered. He endured the pain from the shock of the lightning and slowly turned his head around toward Tangyue.

Tangyue was kneeling helplessly on the edge of the causeway. She seemed extremely tiny in comparison to the rage of the crowd.

If it weren't for her, the Black Totem Snake would never have left the safest hiding spot during his weakest period.

He had existed for many centuries, thus he was surely more intelligent than humans. He had total trust in her, and yet...she had let him down!

Seeing the bruises and wounds on the Black Totem Snake's body, whose eyes displayed a hint of fatigue and disappointed, she felt like he was asking her, why had she let him down!

Tangyue was full of tears. There was nothing she could do. She was surrounded by Magicians who were stronger then she was, and the shore was crowded with people demanding the death of the snake. What could she possibly do?

Mo Fan clearly heard her sobs. Similarly, there was nothing Mo Fan could do.

The people of the city were already trapped by the fear of the snake and the plague. Once they found the source of the plague, they would only follow their instincts.

Councilman Zhu Meng was doing something that perfectly suited their requests. Mo Fan believed that he would soon obtain the support of the people of Hangzhou City. No one would care about the despair that one woman was currently suffering.

”Careful, he's trying to barge out with brute force!” yelled the Head of the Royal Guards, Wu Pingjing.

Mo Fan collected his thoughts and saw that the Black Totem Snake, still being tortured tremendously by the lightning, trying to poke his giant head out from the formation.

The wild lightning bolts struck his head fiercely, and yet he continued to charge forward as if he were already numb.

He extended his head as close as possible to the causeway. The Judges of the Magic Court and the Royal Guards quickly backed off. Despite being trapped within the Lightning Punishment Formation, the Black Totem Snake was still very intimidating!

As the people assumed that the Black Totem Snake was desperately trying to break free with his last effort, he slowly moved his head toward Tangyue who was kneeling on the ground in despair...

The snake gently hissed, poking his tongue out from his mouth.

The tip of the tongue appeared in front of Tangyue and gently fondled her face.

Tangyue was stunned.

The tongue was extremely gentle, like a father trying to wipe the tears off her face.

Tangyue raised her head, glancing at the giant head. She stared into the snake's eyes, which had a gentle look despite the pain and torture he had suffered, before glancing at the tongue which had fondled her face gently. He was trying to comfort her!

At that instant, Tangyue completely broke down and burst out in tears!
