Chapter 361: Plundering through the island Part3

Tang Yue wheezed as she tried to condition her body to the poison swirling around her, but unfortunately, it was not an instantaneous process and it took time.

She only needed a few minutes at tops but that in itself was a big ask right at this moment.

The frogs were not dumb enough to give her this time and lose their advantage. 

They kept poking their tongues out and searching the marsh for her invisible body.

Huff… Huff… Huff… Tang Yue panted.

The ape had already lost its consciousness and she tried to hold onto hers with every last bit of strength in her body.

The world around her spun and she started feeling faint.

In such a state, her thoughts were haphazard and she couldn't even think of anything coherently.

But she knew one thing for sure. At this point, there was no one else to rely on except for herself.

Tang Yue forced herself to remain conscious and commanded her brain to think. 

She feebly sorted out her messy thoughts and tried to figure a way out of this death trap.

"Poison… Poison… Poison… Gas… Thick body… Strong reflexes… Tongue… Eyes… Intelligent…" 

Her mind messily ran through the various attributes of the frog, trying to think of a weakness.

Previously when she had faced the frog, it was in the middle of the ocean. 

There was water everywhere and Tang Yue had wrongly assumed that it had held her back.

She thought that she would have had more of an advantage on dry land, but she was clearly wrong to have thought so.

In retrospect, the ocean waters seemed to have diluted the poison burst from the frog, giving her a fighting chance back then.

As Tang Yue's mind uselessly wandered over the things that had happened, something clicked and she instantly sobered up.

The clarity was probably only going to last for a second before she felt dizzy and suffocated again, but she now knew what she had to do!

The solution had been right in front of her all along!

Tang Yue had realized that she was in an ocean when she fought with the frog before and now she was in a marsh. 

Not a dry barren land but a marsh!

Using the last bit of her consciousness, she called out to Little Plum. "Dragon Dance." She muttered weakly, while at the same time, giant flame serpent heads roared from the palm of her right hand.

The next instant, the entire marsh lit up like a furnace, the flames traveling far and wide.

This was because the gases floating around a marsh were typically were susceptible to catching fire.

And their flammability was only increased by the poisonous miasma spewed out by the frogs.

So as soon as Tang Yue cast the fire spell, the mixture of stagnant marsh air lit up instantly, and roars of deadly flame blazed on the surface of the marsh.

Little Plum also rushed over to Tang Yue's side and added more power to the fire.

Due to this, her invisibility spell was completely broken, revealing Tang Yue's slender figure.

However, the frogs couldn't care less about that right now. 

They knew that even if they put her down, the fire was still going to rage across the marsh.

And this was exactly one of their main weak points!

They had a sturdy body, a strong exterior, and thick flesh acting as a defensive barrier.

If Tang Yue had simply slashed at them with her soul weapon at its current state, she wouldn't even have been able to leave a scratch.

But with this fire elemental magic, she was able to completely overwhelm them.

The thick fleshy body of the frogs sizzled in the heat and the entire forest was filled with the deafening sound of their croaks.

Raaa! Raaa! Raaaa!

The frogs screamed from the agony of their burning skin.

Tang Yue had managed to almost divert their attention for an entire minute and this was all she needed!

…

…

Notifications filled her ears and she now started feeling better with every passing second.

Her body was already starting to adapt and evolve from the thick poisonous fumes.

Little Plum was spinning in its elemental form, shooting out flames in all directions so thankfully it was not affected by the poison.

And now that Tang Yue had also somewhat adapted, she was ready to fully launch her counterattacks.

She summoned her soul sword and used the strength in her legs to leap towards the frog that was closest to her.

The frogs by now had already started attempting to run away. 

Since the marsh waters were shallow, they couldn't exactly dip their huge body within it in order to get away from the flames blazing everywhere.

They had no other option but to run away from this fight for now.

Tang Yue, on the other hand, had a divine body immune to the elementals. 

So she casually leaped through the flames and latched onto the frog closest to her.

KACHA KACHA KACHA

She swung her sword with the full strength that she could muster and her body glowed with a silver aura. She had activated her Silver Skin skill.

Raaaa! Raaaa! Raaaa! The frog roared and stuck its tongue out at her in anger and agony.

Tang Yue smirked and used this chance to slash at its tongue with her sword enveloped in flames, Heaven's Path Third Move - Fire slash.

The frog's meaty tongue sizzled as blisters started appearing at the slash mark the sword left.

Tang Yue did not give the beast a break and quickly slashed at it with a vengeance, again and again, and again and again.

By the time her tenth hit landed, the frog was too hurt to even open its mouth. It let out a loud painful roar and Tang Yue immediately used this distraction to leap atop the frog and plunged her sword directly in one of the horrendous-looking burn injuries on its body.
