Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 352: Medussa's Grave Part8

Chapter 352: Medussa’s Grave Part8

While Tang Yue was still reeling from the after effects of that single sword attack, she found herself being flung afar just like Little Plum, Little Blue, and the harpy.

But unlike them who the golden ape couldn’t care less about, its eyes were still fixated on the serpentine spirit beast who had massacred all of his lackeys.

Its huge feet moved, stomping down on the ground, and the ape thundered towards her with undisguised killing intent.

Tang Yue rubbed her lips with her thumb, wiping out the blood seeping out of the corners of her mouth.

She then stood up from the ground eying the beast who was rushing towards her with such confidence and arrogance.

Powerful cultivation base!

Strong impenetrable defense!

She was clearly no match for this beast in terms of raw strength, but still, Tang Yue’s emerald eyes twinkled without showing any fear or regret.

“So what if you have a powerful body? Heh.” 

She chuckled as she glared at the beast running towards her with full speed.

The beast reached her in a dozen leaps, only taking a couple of seconds, and just as it was about to pummel her to death, Tang Yue’s lips moved slightly.

“Enslave.”

Tang Yue was, of course, not hundred percent sure that this would work so while she mouthed the words she also moved, ready to dodge the beast’s most probable attack pattern.

But as she side-stepped and moved to appear behind the humongous ape, it remained utterly still and unmoving. 

The ape was frozen in its tracks, its golden thick hands hanging mid-air.

Tang Yue panted and her long forked tongue slithered in and out with amusement.

The spell had worked!

Phew! She flopped on the ground, every inch of her body extremely tired.

“Hey, monkey. Get over here.” She chuckled and waved her hand.

The ape’s huge body turned around immediately and its blazing terrorizing silver eyes now looked dull and lifeless.

It walked over obediently and stood in front of Tang Yue.

“Raise your hands up.” The snake chuckled.

The ape, without any resistance, quickly raised its two huge golden hands.

“Put them down.”

And the ape did that too.

“Perfect.” Tang Yue hissed. “Hmmm… This is just a temporary solution, but it’s not too bad.”

Tang Yue sighed in relief, letting out a big breath. 

Her eyes then flickered as she issued the next command. “Get me all the silver ape corpses. Make sure not to damage the meat.”

The ape heard her and quickly busied itself.

The beast which was rampaging wildly just a minute ago was now obediently waddling through the mountains of corpses and carefully picking out the ones which had shiny sparkling silver fur.

It might as well have been the image of a young dainty girl picking flowers in a field.

Tang Yue smiled contently and then she reached out to Little Plum and the others. “Are you guys alright?”

“Yes, Masta. Please hold on. We are on our way back. We will come and support you.” Little Plum immediately screamed in reply.

It had long since wanted to contact Tang Yue but the elemental was worried about disturbing her focus whilst she was in the middle of a battle, so it stayed quiet.

And now that Tang Yue herself had contacted the group, it quickly replied with worry and concern.

“It’s alright. You guys can take your time walking over. I have settled things with the golden ape at least for now.” Tang Yue explained to them.

However, Little Plum, Little Blue, and the harpy still hurried over to her side nevertheless.

But as soon as they got closer, they stood still completely gobsmacked.

The ape which had been terrorizing them and had flung them away like dirt was now calmly working as cheap labor.

“Masta is the best!” 

Little plum was the first one to beam in pride and the wolf ran over to Tang Yue.

Little Blue as well did not want to lose out and quickly ran over to Tang Yue’s side.

Only the harpy awkwardly stood not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She as well understood that the elven prince had imprisoned her because he didn’t want her to curse him.

But he didn’t do anything to the snake who can enslave him like a rag doll?

She shook her head helplessly and walked over to Tang Yue’s side as well.

Tang Yue petted the two wolves and rubbed their heads, as she patiently inspected their injuries.

All three of them had taken a lot of damage and were extremely injured. They had also lost a lot of blood.

She took out several recovery potions and other healing medicinal pills and distributed them to all three without any reservations.

Tang Yue herself as well dunked down a couple, fully recovering to her peak condition.

The ape was still patiently collecting and segregating all the corpses, so the group discussed their future plans whilst warily eying the ape and its actions from the corner of their eyes.

“Masta, are we going further inside the island?” Little Plum anxiously asked. 

He had actually gained some insights during the fight and wanted to cultivate for a bit before challenging themselves again.

He felt bad that he was barely any help to Tang Yue and wanted to improve his strength quickly.

“Mhmm. We can go in a bit.” Tang Yue nodded at the snow white wolf with red streaks on its body. “Let’s first take a break here.”

She then morphed into her serpentine form and slithered forward towards the heap of silver ape corpses.

Tang Yue then slowly opened her mouth wide biting into the meat with her sharp fangs.

Unlike her usual habit of gobbling up entire beasts, this time, she only bit off a small portion of the ape’s fleshy body.

Since they were in unknown territory with danger potentially lurking in every corner, she didn’t want to make herself sluggish and vulnerable by gulping down several pounds of meat.

So she slowly ingested the meat, chewing mouthful after mouthful.

“It has been so long!” Tang Yue grinned. She was excited to finally absorb another beast’s bloodline.

She did not bother with the white apes and directly started chomping down on the silver apes, intending to absorb their bloodline first.

Though it was a strong opponent for her, it was still only a mid-grade beast and she knew that she wouldn’t need these many of them.

So Tang Yue hissed at Little Blue and Little Plum, sharing her meat with them as well.

She was not sure if this would help Little Plum in any way. After all her pets didn’t share her evolution ability.

But Tang Yue was rather keen to see if it would help Little Blue since the wolf as well had a wind affinity.

She watched the wolf quickly gobble up several chunks of meat.

It then tiredly rested its body, digesting the nutritious energy-rich beast meat.

“He He.” Tang Yue chuckled and nuzzled it. “It’s quite alright if you don’t gain anything.” She rubbed its head, making the wolf look up at her in confusion, wondering what she was saying. 

After some thought, Tang Yue then called over the harpy as well but she only gave her a few white apes’ meat to dine.

The harpy smiled and bowed, humbly accepting the meat. She didn’t have any complaints.

Tang Yue gazed at her, trying to discern any subtle discontent in her features but she couldn’t find anything off with the harpy’s behavior.

So she quietly returned back to feasting on the silver ape’s meat. 

She still didn’t trust the harpy completely but she had already decided to give the bird beast the benefit of her doubt and she didn’t plan on going back on that decision without any reason.

Tang Yue hissed and chewed down another mouthful of meat. 

The apes looked extremely savage and ugly but their meat was pretty delicious and flavorful. It smoothly went down without any additional effort.

So it was only a matter of hours before she fully finished their bloodline.

Tang Yue summoned her status screen and eyed her evolution skills again.

[Lesser Evolution] – Passive skill, Able to constantly improve and upgrade the body by absorbing bloodlines; Only 50% bloodline is required for triggering evolution.

[Bloodline Gorger] – Passive skill, Able to absorb bloodlines from meat very efficiently.

Previously, she had needed three high-grade beasts for finishing an evolution when compared to a single low-grade beast for doing the same.

So Tang Yue calculated that she would probably need to eat about two of these silver apes before successfully assimilating their bloodline.

“Not a bad number.” She grinned, her emerald eyes sparkling, and then eyed the golden titan ape who was still busy handling the mess.

She wondered just how many of these would she need to in order to finish the golden titan ape’s bloodline.

She already had one with her and this would be the second, perhaps she needed one more? Tang Yue’s long forked tongue flickered in and out in contemplation.

“I guess I can worry about that later. Let me first see what all this island has to offer me.”
