Chapter 367: Stronger together Part1

Back on the island…

The group had already gone back to the chasm to take cover for a bit, while Tang Yue finished her evolution process.

She was seated in the small cave beneath the chasm, with Little Plum, Little Blue, Eleana, and Jin Wei standing guard around her.

This was the cave deep inside the snake spirit beast dwelling where the cave walls were filled with historical depictions.

So in reality, only Jin Wei was paying attention to Tang Yue and eying her with reverence.

The others were busily sightseeing and looking around, studying the cave walls, trying to figure out what all the drawings and depictions meant.

Among them, Eleana was the one who understood the most and gulped nervously. She already knew it, but looking at all of this, Medussa's glorious history, she couldn't help but feel more shocked.

This just proved it once again. Her decision to follow Tang Yue was indeed the right one.

Ding. Congratulations. Bloodline Evolution completed.

Ding. Congratulations. 50000 Experience points have been rewarded.

Ding. Congratulations. Strength has upgraded

Ding. Congratulations. Agility has upgraded

Ding. Congratulations. Poison resistance has upgraded

Ding. Congratulations. Venom toxicity has upgraded

Tang Yue let out a big burp after inhaling three whole poisonous bull frogs, lazily eying the notifications that had popped up in front of her.

Since the bull frogs were high-grade beasts just like the quagmire centipede, she had to eat three of them in order to finish 50% of their bloodline and trigger an evolution.

This was her second high-grade beast bloodline and a lot was riding on it!

"Too bad, I didn't get any new skills from this meal." Tang Yue licked her lips, humming lightly.

She then flipped open her status screen to see how much her venom toxicity had improved. 

"The frog probably survived on this island by depending on this single venom attack. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been around for this long." 

She rubbed her hands together in excitement. "This should be good!!!"

[Paralyzing Venomous bite][Level 125] - Active skill, Toxicity depends on the poison resistance of the body. Venom is also capable of completely paralyzing the target.

[Paralyzing Venom spit] [Level 125] - Active skill, Toxicity depends on the poison resistance of the body. Venom is also capable of completely paralyzing the target. 

Tang Yue's venom toxicity had increased from Level 100 to a whooping Level 125 in one single evolution. 

"Yass! This is awesome." She hissed happily. She was probably the most toxic beast in the entire island both literally and figuratively.

"Alright then. Time to head out and get more food."

The snake stood up energetically, cracking her knuckles, ready to jump into another intense round of battles, but then she remembered something significant and stopped in her tracks.

"Aiyaaa~ I don't have my tour guide anymore~" She hit her palm with her other fist and her gaze shifted to look at Jin Wei who was obediently waiting for her.

"Jin Wei, how well do you know this island?"

"Your highness, we haven't dared to explore the island much, but we do have some information about this territory as our survival depends on it."

"Alright. Go on." Tang Yue waved at him.

"Your highness, as you know, on the right side of this chasm there is the marshland, where some of the bull frogs typically reside."

"On the left side, we have a hilly dry terrain. So not many beasts reside here."

"But in one of these hills, there is an active volcano, within which there should be many lava salamanders."

"These lava salamanders are only slightly weaker than the bull frogs but they don't wander outside much in fear of the frogs."

"They also usually hunt in the ape territory because of this."

"Ummm… This is the only information we have, your highness."

"Hmm. That's actually very less." Tang Yue hissed pensively. "Do you guys at least know exactly how strong these salamanders are?"

Tang Yue knew that she had somehow managed to defeat the frogs only because of the surrounding marsh and because they were so few in numbers.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have stood a chance.

"Umm… Sorry, your highness. I apologize for our incompetence. I am not exactly sure about their strength."

"I think they might have an Emperor beast ruling over them, same as the golden titan ape."

"In the past, according to our ancestors, this island was inhabited by various beast Emperors."

"In order to escape these beast Emperors, we went underground and settled in this narrow chasm."

"But now several years have passed since that happened. So we are no longer aware of the specific details."

"Various beast Emperors? Do you mean high-grade beasts and rare-grade beasts or even more powerful ones?" Tang Yue perked up.

Contrary to her excitement, Jin Wei's face was nervous and the poor elder hesitantly nodded. "That should be the case."

"These beasts… if they were even as strong as the golden titan ape… we will really be in trouble…"

"But at the same time, if I can absorb all their strengths, my own potential should soar tremendously."

"I don't know what secrets are hidden in Medusa's so-called palace, but this in itself is a huge stepping stone." Tang Yue muttered, her emerald eyes shining.

She then waved at Little Plum but she hesitated when it came to Eleana and Little Blue.

"Maybe you two should sit this one out." She hissed and Eleana and Little Blue both obediently nodded in reply.

She was just about to suggest the same to Jin Wei but the man quickly shook his head. "Please, your highness. We don't care about the danger. We just want to stand by your side."

Tang Yue sighed even though she understood their frustration. She could see that covering in fear and living hidden for centuries had taken a toll on these guys.

"Cast invisibility and prepare to run. That's all I can say." She sighed.

"Thank you, your highness. We are very grateful for your consideration." Jin Wei humbly nodded, the man's eyes brimming with resoluteness.

The group of snakes and Little Plum then slithered out of the chasm, and headed towards the cluster of hills for their next battle!
