Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 407: Playing with fire Part2

The dragon looked at Tang Yue with its slit-like eyes, staring at her as if it was trying to uncover every little secret that she was hiding from it.

The beast scanned her from top to bottom, wondering what she was up to all of a sudden.

She had been hiding from it all these days, but out of nowhere, she just showed up in front of it?

By any chance was there something else happening here that it was not aware of? Was the pest playing some dirty trick again?

Was this a decoy... The dragon grew suspicious. Its mind was about to search through the entire island.

But before it could do anything, Tang Yue took out something from her spatial ring and tossed it up and down as if she was playing with it.

The dragon instantly shuddered and its eyes grew wide.

"YOU! How dare you!" Its blood boiled and rage spilled out. Its nostrils flared and thick black fumes shot out from within.

The dragon breathed down on the small tunnel, assaulting it with everything it had. Bang! Bang! Bang! Sparks flew out left and right, the earth around the tunnel becoming soot.

The barrier, however, held strong and the dragon failed to make even a dent on it. It glared at the tunnel in frustration and let out another thunderous roar.

As an ancient beast, its biggest issue, the thorn on its back was the lack of its clan members, a family. As such these eggs were its precious blood and family.

More than that, Tang Yue's smirk and how she was handling its precious eggs was a total slap in its face.

Its entire body itched to strike the snake fiercely and blast it into oblivion, but unfortunately, it couldn't.

The snake on the other hand had an annoying smile on her face and was thoroughly enjoying herself.

"Hey, Draco boy. What do you think dragon omelets will taste like?

"I mean this is nothing personal, ok? I have to crack some eggs to make some omelets, right?

"Who wouldn't be curious about the taste of dragon omelets? I bet it will be extremely energetic too!

"Hmm... will it give me any power-ups?" Tang Yue skipped on her feet and twirled around.

The dragon who was already swimming in a violent rage got further enraged. It lashed its tail around, unleashing devastation around the tunnel.

Almost all of the ground was scooped up except for the tunnel that was present jutting out, hanging in mid-air.

Its black swirling flames repeatedly assaulted this structure, trying to breakthrough.

As if she wanted to add more oil to this fire, Tang Yue took out another egg from the spatial ring and did some comical but dangerous juggling routine with the 2 eggs.

The entire island shook and the dragon lifted its head up, shooting out a pillar of black and silver energy reaching the sky.

"Alright! Alright! Calm down! I won't do anything to your precious eggs. In return, can you tell me something?"

Tang Yue chuckled, putting the eggs back down. She tried to speak to it properly, but the beast still continued rampaging for a while

At the same time in another part of the island.

15 feet tall black bears were growling and swiping their paws, madly trying to fight for their life.

That part of the forest was ablaze, the flames were not even ordinary. These flames seemed to be of a higher tier and they burnt through the protective coat of the black bears without even batting an eyelid.

As if this wasn't enough, a wind wolf was constantly throwing swift wind blades here and there, targeting their injuries caused by the roaring fire.

Eleana and little plum stood at the front, while little blue stood at the back.

Little plum set everything on fire and Eleana was adept with a spear. She spun the spear around impaling all the beasts fighting against them.

She danced with the spear as if it was an extension of her body. Little blue who was a bit weaker than these two stood at the back and provided support.

Together the three of them coordinated perfectly and took on the group of 8 humongous black bears.

The bears did not have any special ability, except for their Enrage skill which allowed them to burst forth with tremendous energy.

But, that alone was not enough to counterattack the small mismatched group. However, they still put up quite a fight.

This scrimmage lasted for a while with both sides fighting non-stop with everything they had.

And finally, the number of bears slowly started dwindling and the trio gained an advantage over them, eventually ending the fight after killing the last black bear.

"Did the boss already eat bears? I am not sure."

"It's alright! Let's just kill whatever we see. Everyone in the palace needs food anyways."

The three exchanged looks and then quietly cleaned up the place. After resting for a few minutes they started moving once again.

This time they encountered a pride of hump goats that were grazing on a pile of dead bodies.

Eleana observed the surroundings and her intuition warned her to get fast and far away from this place.

"Oh, it looks like something powerful resides here. Let's kill the goats quickly and get out of here." 

The hump goats bleated loudly after seeing the intruders and they immediately dashed towards the group in an attempt to defeat them.

They did not like sharing their scavenged food with anyone else, so they were very territorial.

But, the poor beasts did not know what they were up against and were cleanly slaughtered in a few minutes.

It looked like all sorts of beasts survived on the island somehow.

Even though the goats were much weaker than the bears, they still somehow managed to live on for so long.

Just as Eleana was pondering how this was possible

The ground suddenly quaked and a giant sound echoed in the distance.

"Let's go! Let's go! We have to get out of here!" The trio quickly ran away, heading in the opposite direction of the sound.
