Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 348: Medussa’s Grave Part4

“Old man, how much longer? Do you even know where we are headed to?” Tang Yue furrowed her brows and asked the elder.

It had already been a day since they began their journey and they were currently flying atop the vast ocean without any end in sight.

Tang Yue was holding Little Blue snugly under her arms, crossing the ocean with the help of a flying sword.

The harpy was also right next to her riding on her own flying sword. 

Only Little Plum was dismissed because Tang Yue didn’t want to deal with carrying around two grown adult wolves while endlessly roaming above the ocean waters.

“Little snake, have some patience! You know very well that even the elves call these waters as untraversable.”

“And you expect to reach your destination in one day?”

“Fuck! It has just been one day?” Tang Yue cursed out loudly.

“You have no patience, dumb little snake.”

“Shut up, old man.” Tang Yue scoffed. 

She had half a mind to switch to the flying blanket.

She could then probably sleep on top of it while flying around in circles, which she very much doubted was what they were doing right now.

“Didn’t you say that the ocean will gobble me up and take me to the training grounds all on its own?”

“So what is with this delay?”

In reality, Tang Yue was not that impatient of a person. 

She was just feeling extremely uneasy right now because the oceanic air was enriched in water elemental essence.

The earth elemental and fire elemental essence were almost non-existent and even with her high affinity, she was unable to sense them at all.

This made her feel very uneasy and nauseous. 

It was like being in the presence of a strong enemy, an enemy who had completely wrapped his limbs around her and was suffocating her slowly.

Little Blue was in fact far more comfortable than her because the wolf had an innate affinity to the wind elemental.

Since wind elemental essence was not that sparse even atop the ocean, it was not as pitiful as Tang Yue.

Woo… Woo… It nuzzled its head against her and tried to comfort her.

Tang Yue sighed and chuckled at its shenanigans. She then gazed at the other contracted beast flying next to her.

“You have been silent for a while now.” She lazily yawned, striking up a conversation with the mysterious harpy.

“You don’t have anything to say to or ask me?” Tang Yue probed.

The harpy turned around to look at her, slightly surprised, but the next instant she simply shook her head.

“What is your name?” Tang Yue asked. “Where are you from?”

The harpy once again simply shook her head. 

Before Tang Yue could say anything, it stuck its tongue out which was cut and mutilated.

Tang Yue sighed softly, empathizing with the creature. 

She understood why Xander had taken all these precautions but still, it was brutal.

On the other hand, if he hadn’t done these things then something even disastrous could have happened.

Even she couldn’t fault him for protecting himself against that possibility.

Tang Yue remained silent for a while as she gazed at the endless horizon. She then glanced at the harpy with her discerning eyes.

“Fate magic… Do you know about it?”

The harpy quickly nodded its head. 

Though it was unable to speak, it was still able to answer these yes or no questions.

And the harpy seemed as if it was intent on pleasing Tang Yue. 

Perhaps it was truly grateful to her for releasing it from its misery or perhaps it was plotting something by trying and gaining her trust.

Tang Yue couldn’t be bothered to think about this right now. 

After all, she had no way to determine what was in the creature’s mind. Only time can tell.

She hugged the wolf closer, rubbing her face against its soft fur. 

She felt reassured at the fact that the adorable bundle in her arms, unlike the harpy, was truly faithful to her no matter what!

As the group boringly continued flying around, Tang Yue’s emerald eyes all of a sudden sparkled and she noticed something in the distant waters.

A gigantic green ball seemed to be floating just beneath the surface of the ocean water.

“Old man, did you see that?”

“Yes, little snake. I see everything you see.” He reminded her.

Tang Yue didn’t have the time to care about his attitude right now because if she had noticed the thing, then… probably… it had also noticed her!!!

Coincidentally, at the exact same moment, the big green blob slightly moved, half of its body rising above the water surface.

At least the top half of it looked like a big green ball covered in sticky gummy slime, the thing clearly defiling the otherwise crystal clear transparent blue waters.

And as Tang Yue observed it closely, the big green ball jiggled and four pairs of crescent marks appeared on it like deep black gashes.

They then started opening, slowly revealing big bulging pitch-black eyes, eight rounded eyeballs.

Tang Yue gulped looking at its grotesque appearance.

She immediately summoned her soul sword and donned on a bunch of armors to cover most parts of her body.

She didn’t take out the set of spirit-grade armors that she had prepared. 

They had just been forged and barely seen any blood at all, making them considerably weak even compared to mid-grade weapons. 

And Tang Yue had a feeling that this was going to be a powerful opponent, so she didn’t want to risk everything by not going all out.

While she equipped herself, Tang Yue, also out a flying disk and instructed both the harpy and the wolf to stand on that.

They surely did not possess the strength to compete with this thing and she didn’t want them to get hurt unnecessarily.

And it was just in the nick of time!

Tang Yue had only barely finished instructing them when something thick and sturdy suddenly shot out from within the water surface.

BANG!

Both Little Blue and the Harpy tactfully understood that they were no match for whatever was attacking them and quickly backed away so as to not hinder Tang Yue in her efforts.

The attack mainly hit Tang Yue and the flying sword that she was relying on. 

Her slender figure trembled and the sword broke into two, unable to withstand the impact of the attack.

All she could see was a rod jutting out of the green blob and whatever was attacking her, clearly had tremendous speed and strength.

She knew that as long as she relied on other artifacts, she wouldn’t be able to dodge the thing to the best of her abilities.

She was also unable to maneuver and avoid its attacks mid-air. So the only option was to head down to the turbulent waters underneath.

Tang Yue quickly morphed into her serpentine form and dived into the ocean fearlessly, head first.

But even when she was under the water, a strong pink-colored rod came dashing at her, clearly with the intention of attacking her, albeit with a tad slower speed.

BANG!

Tang Yue could now see what was coming at her. It was a huge freaking tongue!

She instantly could tell that she was probably facing a frog-like beast with additional features.

“Damn it. This is definitely a rare-grade beast or higher. From its speed and strength, it might even be on the verge of a breakthrough.” 

Tang Yue pondered whilst slithering towards the frog with all the speed that she could muster.

She skillfully slithered avoiding the next couple of tongue lashes that came at her but her speed was no match for the beast.

After evading a few attacks, she then morphed into her human figure once again, summoning her soul sword as well.

KACHA

When the next jab came at her, instead of running, she faced it head-on, slashing at the tongue with her sword.

“Did you think that I was an insect you could stick your tongue at?” Tang Yue roared and sent out three slashes at the frog’s tongue.

The hard muscle blocked her sword, the very impact sending her back several paces in the water, but Tang Yue grinned.

Just as she was flung back, she also saw that she had sliced a portion of its tongue away, blood now seeping out of the tongue.

The crystal clear blue waters instantly turned muddy as blood started pooling.

ROAR!

The frog growled in pain and immediately pulled back its tongue in anger.

All of its eight eyes were now locked onto Tang Yue as it finally revealed its full face and figure, facing against her seriously.

Before Tang Yue could take another step towards it, a huge pair of hind limbs popped out in its rear, along with a pair of shorted limbs in its front, and the frog propelled itself forward, sending a huge kick, powerful enough to create waves in the calm waters.

GUDANG!

With a single kick, the frog had moved several feet, its huge body now dangerously close to Tang Yue and its eight eyes balls all looking down on her.
