Chapter 55 Used as a pawn
Unlike her previous calls, Tang Yue detected a hint of flattery in them, and couldn't help but come to Lu Jie's side and look at his palm.
"Can just one bean really do it?" Tang Yue asked, somewhat incredulous.
Lu Jie didn't say anything, but directly threw the Senzu Bean to the Xuan Snake. This one Senzu Bean was enough to help the Xuan Snake safely get through its molting period.
The black serpent's pupils narrowed, and it extended its scarlet forked tongue to catch the senju bean before putting it into its mouth.
The next second, the Senzu Bean took effect, and the Black Serpent could feel a strange and powerful force flowing through its body.
Then it looked at Lu Jie, as if urging him to sign the contract quickly, because this snake was going into seclusion.
Lu Jie took out a summoning scroll. The characters on it were different from those in Naruto, and were similar to the ancient pictographs of Kyushu.
He wrote the words "Mysterious Serpent" on the psychic scroll, then dripped a few drops of the serpent's blood onto it. The psychic scroll absorbed the serpent's blood.
Then, Lu Jie bit his finger, wrote his name on the psychic, and dripped his blood onto it.
At the same time, both Lu Jie and Xuan She sensed a strange connection between them.
Become!
Lu Jie put away the summoning scroll, which left Mo Fan dumbfounded. Dude, did you just come from Naruto?
Otherwise, where would things like Wood Release and Summoning Technique come from?
Could it be that Lao Lu is a time traveler like me?
The only difference is that the other party is from the Naruto world, while I am from the real world?
Mo Fan believed he had discovered an incredible secret.
After signing the contract, the black snake burrowed into the cave to prepare to shed its skin.
Lu Jie and the other two were also preparing to go back.
The three of them had just returned to the city, preparing to take the black snake's blood for analysis, when they were captured by Zhu Meng and his team.
"You three are truly something else! If I could, I'd execute you right now! Do you want me to take you to the quarantine zone and see if this hellish scene will make you realize just how serious your crimes are?!"
Zhu Meng looked at the three of them with a cold smile, his eyes wide with anger.
It is clear that Zhu Meng has already determined that the Black Serpent is the source of this plague!
"Councilor Zhu Meng, everything should be based on evidence. Does a councilor have the right to make false accusations so easily?" Lu Jie said.
"Evidence? You're talking to me about evidence? Isn't all of this caused by their so-called god?" Zhu Meng said angrily.
"Stubborn and self-willed, no wonder he was used as a pawn by others," Lu Jie said.
"Fine, fine, this is the first time I've ever seen such a sharp-tongued brat. Believe me or not, I can execute you right here and now!" Zhu Meng laughed angrily. How dare a mere magician speak to a councilor like me like that?
Tang Yue bit her lip, forcing herself to calm down, then reached out and handed a large bottle of Xuan Snake blood to Zhu Meng, saying, "This is the blood of a god. If the plague is caused by it, then this blood will help to resist it."
Zhu Meng gestured to Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu and several other prominent figures immediately brought the blood to their research lab. They were given only three days; they had to develop a drug to resist the plague.
"Wait a minute," Lu Jie called out to Mr. Lu and the others.
"Kid, are you really looking for death?" Zhu Meng glared angrily at Lu Jie, and the whole scene became incredibly tense.
"Should we test these two things again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a spatial vortex appeared, and a dead rat and some eagle-red grass appeared in this place.
"How dare you!" Zhu Meng roared, looking at the dead rat.
"Councilor Zhu Meng, don't be angry, don't be angry. Why are you, as a councilor, getting so worked up over a student?" Tang Zhong hurriedly comforted Zhu Meng.
Zhu Meng angrily glared and puffed out his beard, thinking, "So I'm just incompatible with this kid, aren't I?"
This kid keeps challenging a member of parliament. Does he really think I, Zhu Meng, have no temper?
"The Lingzhao Plague Rat, this is the White Demon Eagle's favorite. Why don't we dissect it on the spot?" Lu Jie said.
Zhu Meng snorted coldly, seemingly realizing something, and said, "Dissect it."
Upon receiving the order, Mr. Lu and his colleagues quickly took their instruments and tools and dissected the plague rat on site.
After the autopsy, Mr. Lu's eyes widened, and it seemed as if anger was burning in them.
"Who on earth is so audacious as to use diseased blood instead of exotic blood?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions drastically.
"Mr. Lu, are you sure?" Zhu Meng's face was very unpleasant. So, it turned out that he had really been used as a pawn, just as this kid said?
"I'm sure! This diseased blood exists in the body of the Lingzhao plague rat, and it's almost identical to the alien blood. Using it to make blood serum will greatly reduce the cost!" Mr. Lu said with certainty.
Zhu Meng was furious, blowing his beard and glaring. Who on earth was so blinded by greed to dare to do this!
"As I just mentioned, this rat is the White Demon Eagle's favorite food."
When these casual words were spoken, everyone realized that something was wrong.
Sure enough, a man in a military intelligence uniform strode in, saluted Zhu Meng, and then whispered a message in his ear.
"What did you say?!" Zhu Meng stared wide-eyed at the Kuomintang intelligence officer.
Seeing Zhu Meng like this, everyone turned their attention to him. Could something bad have happened?
"News has come from the fortress: a large flock of white demon eagles has emerged from the Western Ridge. They are hungry, frenzied, and reckless. No matter what magical bombardment we launch, they show no intention of returning to their nests. They are currently flying towards this city..."
The military intelligence officer said.
"I heard from someone named Wang Xiaojun that this Eagle Red Grass can cure diseased blood." Then Lu Jie told another lie. When he read the comic about this place, he felt that this boy was a pity. Since I'm here, I'll give you a chance to make a difference.
Soon, Mr. Lu and his team analyzed the eagle-red grass and found that it could indeed suppress the diseased blood in the Lingzhao plague rats.
"The appearance of this large flock of white demon eagles must be led by a monarch-level leader. At that time, these sky eagles will be in trouble..."
Tang Zhong's words were self-evident: the tamed eagles would rebel.
"What's wrong, our stubborn Councilor Zhu Meng? Why aren't you rushing to support the West Fortress?" Lu Jie said with a mocking expression.
Zhu Meng's expression was very unpleasant. After letting out a cold snort, he led his men away.
As he walked, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Revoke the arrest warrants for the three of them."
"Yes."
"That black serpent?" Tang Zhong asked at this moment.
Zhu Meng knew he had been used as a pawn, but he just snorted and said, "If it doesn't harm the city in the future, I won't put it on the list of potential threats."
Tang Zhong smiled; Zhu Meng had been outmaneuvered by a young man.
Luo Mian, who was standing to the side, looked very unhappy. He had a feeling that his secret was about to be exposed.
