Mo Fan mimicked the way Tangyue would sit on the Black Totem Snake's head. The friendly exchange with the Black Totem Snake after feeding him the illegally recycled cooking oil had eased Mo Fan's fear of him. Frankly speaking, apart from his gigantic size, the big guy was fairly kind and gentle at heart.
Mo Fan took a closer look at the Black Totem Snake's body and realized that the festered skin had begun to peel off. Even the wounds that seemed rather deep...were falling off?
”What's going on? Even the wounds can be peeled off like scars?” Mo Fan was astounded.
He took a stroll along the Black Totem Snake's body for another half an hour and realized that a lot of the wounds had begun to peel off.
When Mo Fan returned to the Black Totem Snake's head, he took a glance at the snake's body and suddenly discovered that something was splitting apart on the beast's body, as if he were forming a clone.
”Mo Fan, Mo Fan, what are you doing?” an adorable little loli yelled at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan turned around and realized it was Lingling. He asked curiously, ”Aren't you helping Wang Xiaojun with his mission? Why are you here?”
Lingling held her tiny laptop in her hands. She responded with her eyes fixed on the screen, ”I can monitor him from here, too.”
”The snake is splitting in half. I'm rather curious. Could it be that the force of the lightning has blasted him in half?”
Lingling was rather daring. She simply leapt onto the Black Totem Snake and climbed up with her small limbs, like an overly cute monkey. As she finally reached Mo Fan's spot, she glanced down at the Black Totem Snake's body from above and said, ”What do you mean he's splitting in half? Can't you tell his skin peeling off?”
Mo Fan took a closer look and came to a realization. He said with a smile, ”The big snake is finally finishing up with his ecdysis after the series of troubles. It shouldn't be any trouble from here onward. Tangyue must be very happy.”
”Yeah, if Wang Xiaojun manages to make it back safely, the crisis will be resolved too,” said Lingling as she continued her work on the laptop.
”I hope so.”
Lingling placed the laptop on her legs and suddenly asked in confusion, ”Mm, why isn't he moving?”
”Who's not moving?”
”Wang Xiaojun, it shows that he has stopped all of a sudden. He's still on the ground. There aren't any powerful beasts nearby. He should be flying to West Fortress now,” Lingling was suspicious.
”Did he stumble upon some kind of trouble?” said Mo Fan with a worried look.
Mo Fa was fairly impressed by Wang Xiaojun's courage. It was incredibly rare to find someone willing to risk their lives for the greater good, not to mention that he was only seventeen years old.

In the forest to the west of the fortress, Wang Xiaojun flattened himself to the eagle's back while glancing ahead alertedly.
