Hidden genius: Black belly snake

After the group of black bears and hump goats, the trio then targeted a horde of dragon wasp nests whose venom has a dark elemental attribute and has the ability to corrode one's body and soul.

However, the wasps couldn't put up a fight against Little Plum's fire hose and quickly plummeted down in dozens.

The trio then bulldozed down a dozen of twin-headed bulls, followed by nine-tailed ice jackals and light pustule unicorns.contemporary romance

Eleana's luck was off the charts as the trio rampaged through the island, cutting down elite beasts left and right. 

However, as soon as they caught even a whiff of a stronger Emperor tier beast or anything remotely close to it, the trio quickly escaped in the other direction.

This continued for quite a while as they slowly made their way around the island, always being cautious and always remaining close to the underground tunnels of the palace.

Unlike them, Tang Yue was thoroughly enjoying herself, taking her sweet time. The dragon had calmed down a little now and she managed to get a few words out of it every now and then.

She had also placed the eggs back in her spatial ring except for one which she used to torment the dragon just a little, but she did not play around with it.

The two of them had somewhat reached a middle ground but under the shallow waters, Tang Yue was still very aware of the fact that the beast was merely waiting for a chance to tear her apart.

"How long have you been living here?" She hissed.

"Hmph. Why does a pest like you care about that? You are not even one-tenth of my age or power!" The dragon sneered in response.

"You have a name?"

"Roar! A pest like you can call me, Mighty Lord Dragon. Beg and kneel at my feet, hmph. Perhaps if you serve me for several thousand years, I can consider pardoning you."

"Is that so? How kind of you, oh mighty Lord Dragon." Tang Yue smiled, flickering her long forked tongue in and out. The damned beast was not responding to anything properly.

"Maybe I should do some egg tricks for the mighty Lord Dragon?" Tang Yue's grin widened.

The dragon's nostrils once again flared and it glared at her as if it was trying to roast her alive with just its gaze.

"Let me ask again. What are you called? How long have you been living here? These questions are not too unreasonable now are they?"

The dragon glared at her again, its slit-like eyes scrutinizing her from top to bottom. 

The pest was clearly threatening it because of the eggs, but how could a pride beast allow itself to stoop down to that level?

It snorted arrogantly and laid its head lazily on the tunnel or rather the barrier surrounding the tunnel and continued glaring at Tang Yue without any other response.

Tang Yue sighed and gave up. It looked like she won't be able to threaten any information out of the damned beast using the eggs but all was still not lost.

She had a backup plan just in case…

Tang Yue let out a deep breath and then took out a beast corpse from her spatial ring. This was one of the corpses from the haul she had taken from the dragon's lair and of course, it recognized it immediately.

It perked up slightly and blinked as it looked at the 'pest' with interest.

It was a chimera that had the head of a lion and the gigantic wings of a twin-tailed firebird.

Tang Yue threw a sideways glance at the dragon and then right in front of its eyes, she tossed the corpse in her mouth.

Hrmm? The dragon looked up at her and then closed its eyes again in disinterest. A few minutes silently passed when it snapped its eyes back open.

Its slit-like eyes almost bulged out of its eye sockets as it stared at the pest in front of it with disbelief.

Ding. 100% Griffon chimera bloodline absorbed

Ding. Bloodline Evolution has been initiated

Tang Yue's long slender serpentine body turned bright golden, twisting and turning as she moaned softly in pain.

Ding. Congratulations. Bloodline Evolution completed.

Ding. Congratulations. 100 Experience points have been rewarded.

Tang Yue did not really gain any new skills from this particular evolution as it was only a weaker beast but that was not her main agenda this time around.

She directly showed the enemy at her doorstep her deepest darkest secret.

"YOU!!!" The dragon roared! "How did you do that? PEST ANSWER ME NOW." Its entire body shook and its voice croaked. 

Tang Yue couldn't see an ounce of pride that was previously on its face. "So I was correct?" She hissed with a smirk. "You do know more than you are willing to share."

The dragon grunted in annoyance and repeated its words. "Do not test my patience, pest."

"And what are you going to do if I do?" Tang Yue sighed and sat back down. She knew that she now once again had caught the interest of the beast.

Though none of them bothered to share any more valuable information with the other party, there was at least a pointless conversation and a barrage of threats and insults.

And the dragon silently kept sizing up Tang Yue all the while. It had heard rumors, it had heard stories from some of the other Emperor beasts but it hadn't believed it until now.

The demonic Empress, the Nether Empress with her nine heads, the monster that had slaughtered millions, Empress Medussa, the devil with the many names.

It knew that this island belonged to the late Empress and that was one of the reasons, it had claimed the island for itself, hoping to uncover the mysteries of the demonic Empress.

However, it had never considered the possibility that the lineage of the Empress would still be alive. Its eyes shimmered with greed as it stared at the rare treasure in front of it.

If only it could get its hand on the damned pest...
