Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 75: The predator and the prey Part3

“So much for starting with the easy task first!” 

Tang Yue grunted and shifted the sword from her right hand to her left hand.

She vaguely had an idea of how to deal with the situation she was in.

Now only the execution part of it was left!

She didn’t wait for the two Croco beasts to make a move and went on the offensive first.

Tang Yue swiftly materialized several long tongues of flame in her right hand.

She only had enough mana to do this once before she was drained empty. So this was her only chance!

The two gigantic reptiles in front of her were instantly surprised and shocked at the sight of fire.

They subconsciously shuffled back with their eyes fixated on her hand.

Tang Yue used this element of fear and surprise to lunge forward and jumped on top of one of the Croco beasts.

She then firmly pressed down on its massive neck and held it down or at least tried to hold it down.

Her minuscule strength was no match for the beast’s raw brute power.

Tang Yue knew that she probably had a couple of seconds before the beast flung her out like a small squirrel.

She stabilized herself as best as she could and quickly jammed her sword horizontally, aiming for its soft neck rather than the thick and strong scales.

She didn’t know if her mid-grade sword was sufficient to penetrate those rock-hard scales and hence decided to go around it.

The enormous beast started twitching in pain. It used its full force to throw the intruder off of its neck.

It wanted to bite down on the damned snake, breaking her into two between its strong and sturdy jaws but unfortunately, the searing pain in its neck prevented it from doing so.

By now, the other one recovered from the initial shock and speeded towards Tang Yue snapping its mouth at her.

The snake’s cold eyes gazed at the incoming danger and decided that it was time.

In one swift motion, she retrieved her sword from the beast’s neck and let her hands go.

She allowed herself to be flung away by the humungous force that the wounded beast madly exerted.

But this time, she was smart enough to slightly maneuver her body and fell back on the dry land, instead of the muddy marsh waters.

THUD

A loud sound resounded.

Tang Yue painfully landed on her ass, almost hitting her head on a rock nearby.

Her brain was spinning. She was seeing double images of everything in front of her.

But she didn’t waste any time. 

She quickly reverted to her serpentine form and slithered to a nearby tree, climbing up on it using all the strength and stamina she could muster.

The two Croco beasts waddled towards the tree, their speed visibly less on the dry land.

They angrily thrashed the tree for a few minutes with their paws. 

Thick nail marks appeared on the tree trunk but the tree was sturdy enough.

Only after seeing this, Tang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She was safe for now.

She coiled herself tightly on a tree branch and looked at the two humungous Croco beasts underneath the tree with her eyes full of hatred.

The damned beasts had done a number of her body! She was aching all over, blood dripping from several flesh wounds on her body.

Her emerald eyes studied the beasts which were still lashing at the tree trunk without giving up.

Low-grade beasts had more intelligence than common-grade beasts and were definitely a pain to deal with.

Now that she was safely settled up in the tree, Tang Yue gazed intently at the two bad boys on the ground.

They had an astoundingly huge body with brownish-green scales. 

This atrocious appearance was further enhanced by their slit-like eyes with fluorescent green orbs, giving them a sinister and ferocious look.

The creature’s paw nails and teeth were extremely sharp and sparkled in the sunlight.

Their tails also had jagged scales much sharper than the ones on their back.

Tang Yue gazed at the beasts from left to right and bobbed her head in reflection.

These were valuable low-grade beasts. 

So a part of her greedily wanted to hunt them down and gobble up their beast meat to strengthen herself further.

Once the feeling of safety crept in, she couldn’t help but drool at that insane strength.

And one of them was even injured.

Tang Yue pondered the different possibilities she had. 

Her mana reserves were dry and she was clearly not in a position to face them head-on.

“Hmm…” After a while, the devious snake hissed and flickered its long forked tongue in and out.

She did have another trump card in her hand!!

Tang Yue slowly slithered down the tree. 

She did not know how long the beasts planned to ram against the tree trunk and decided to act fast instead of waiting for her wounds to heal.

She slithered down quite a bit until she was just out of reach by the beasts. She carefully controlled her body.

Even if she moved an inch down, she would be instantly cut into two by those deadly jaws.

The two beasts were further enraged by this seemingly obvious taunt.

They used even more force to ram against the tree.

Tang Yue, however, ignored it and slowly aimed her head towards the wounded Croco beast.

She targeted the exposed flesh on the beast and clicked her tongue. She then pulled her small head back and spurted out her toxic venom on the flesh wound with full force.

HISSS

The Croco beast realized what was happening, but it was one step too late. 

By the time it shuffled back, the venom had already seeped into its flesh and its blood circulation.

And that too, Tang Yue’s venom was unlike any other snake spirit beast’s venom!!

Her venom was an upgraded Level 11 toxic venom!

Tang Yue herself did not know how effective it was. She curiously peered at the beast to see the reaction.
