Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Tang Yue patiently waited at the bottom of the swamp. The murky waters hid most of what was happening above her.

So she had no idea how many hours had passed. Though she could feel her body slowly healing, thanks to her new regeneration ability.

After a while, she slowly swam upwards and peeked her head out. "The birds surely must have left by now?"

But unfortunately for her, the four assholes were still lingering around the area, ready to swoop in the minute she stepped outside.

Tang Yue wasn't really surprised at this.

After all these fire twin-tails were low-grade beasts. Low-grade beasts possessed much more intelligence than the common-grade beasts.

Most of the low-grade beasts even consolidated their own beast cores, something that common-grade beasts were unable to achieve.

These beast cores are typically in high demand and can be consumed for improving one's cultivation.

In fact, others would have jumped at the sight of these birds, and hunted them to the end of the heavens, but since Tang Yue was still weak, the tables had turned and the birds were hunting her instead.

Tang Yue gritted her teeth and popped her head back into the swamp waters.

She had to think of something fast. Staying here only increased the danger she was in with every passing minute.

She could patiently stay here and simply wait them out. But if the birds stuck around for so long, it was very unlikely that they would give up any time soon.

So she really only had two options left, either escape undetected or fight back.

The former was almost impossible with her thick body. So her only resort was the latter. She had to fight back!

Tang Yue cursed her bad luck and thought about her fighting options. She mainly had three things in her arsenal.

Her over-powered sword, her poisonous fangs, and her poisonous spit.

The wounded snake-woman indifferently blinked as she concocted a plan to get out of this tricky situation.

After a few minutes, she stuck her neck out from her hiding corner and quickly caught a bunch of fishes swimming past her.

She then slowly slithered closer to the surface and popped her head out to make sure that the birds were still nearby.

The murky waters camouflaged her dark blue body and she was almost invisible.

Tang Yue then positioned herself carefully and slowly released the dead fishes she was holding in her curled up tail.

The fishes were pale white in color and floated belly up on the surface as soon as they were released from her tail's grip.

SQUAWK... SQUAWK...

Just as she had expected, a loud screeching noise sounded the very next second.

One of the fire twin-tails dashed towards the small pool of dead fishes.

These beasts had a voracious appetite and were easily swayed by greed.

Tang Yue took advantage of this exact weakness and had lured out her first prey.

"You dared to bite at my soft body! Die. Hmph." Tang Yue immediately opened her small mouth as wide as she could, revealing her silver fangs.

A jet of thick black liquid emerged from her fangs as she aimed directly for the incoming bird's eyes and beak area.

The surprised bird let out a yelp and twitched mid-air before falling splat on the swamp waters.

Before its other comrades could respond, Tang Yue hurriedly wrapped its struggling body with her thick tail end and dragged the poor bird underwater.

Though she was not long enough to wrap around the entire bird, she was still able to hold on to the lower half tightly.

Considering that the bird was poisoned, that was sufficient to cement her grip on the struggling bird.

Held within her tight grasp, the bird couldn't even struggle and it pitifully drowned in the murky waters.

Ding. 1 Fire twin-tailed bird killed

Ding. 100 Experience points have been rewarded

"Wahhh... So many experience points." Tang Yue was giddy with joy. With danger came opportunity as well!

1 down 3 more to go.

The devious snake grinned as it silently plotted to draw the other three in a similar manner.

Tang Yue waited patiently for a few minutes before repeating her same strategy again.

She had already tucked away the big bird's corpse in her space pearl.

She was not sure if the birds would fall for the same trick twice but she decided to try it anyways.

And luckily for her, the next one as well swooped in to grab the dead fishes and was mercilessly pulled down by the fat snake.

Ding. 1 Fire twin-tailed bird killed

Ding. 100 Experience points have been rewarded

Tang Yue grinned. Things were finally going her way and it looked like she might even level up from this encounter!

The next one also ended up falling for the same trap, but the last bird became warier.

No matter how many fishes she threw out, it didn't dare to carelessly approach the swamp waters.

Tang Yue scoffed at the ferocious-looking bird and its dark red feathers. "So what if you won't come to me, I will come to you, my precious!"

She might have been at a disadvantage when it was four against one, but now it was just one versus one.
