Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 191: The human in the elven territory Part2

After culling the number of spiders for a few more seconds, Tang Yue and Little Plum luckily saw the end of the tunnel or more precisely, the light at the end of the tunnel.

The tunnel opened up to a cavern of sorts and there was a small heap of something burning in the corner, illuminating the entire space.

But as soon as the duo entered the small area, Tang Yue immediately covered her nose and her mouth with her palm and fingers.

"Yuck!" She cringed in disgust. 

Spread across in front of her was an enormous body of an undead spider.

This one was surprisingly a high-grade beast similar to the one Xavier had fought with.

It had eight strong metallic claws and an intimidating ferocious appearance, rather it had such an appearance before its unfortunate demise, not that an undead beast wasn't dead to begin with.

But the way in which it was slaughtered and strewn across the small cavern space was especially bone-chilling.

She had just now gotten out of a worm's ass but this scene in front of her was much more putrid and disgusting.

The beast's bodily fluids, flesh, and brain matter were smeared across the cave walls in a crisp and clean pattern.

The person who did this had seemingly sliced it into a million pieces in a single perfect attack.

He or she didn't even struggle with it as much as Tang Yue had with the low-grade beasts outside.

As far as she could tell, the person had barged into these layers of hell and slaughtered everything that dared to block his path.

The low-grade pests outside were probably too weak to even confront his speed and the intruder had only bothered to deal with the high-grade beast in front of her.

Tang Yue could tell that this person had a strength of at least Demi-God realm or higher. 

She had seen Xavier who possessed a Saint realm strength fight with a similar spider undead beast and it was definitely not so easy for him to get rid of it.

The snake's eyes surveyed the small cavern for a few more seconds before eventually landing on the small winding tunnel in the other corner.

It looked like she had a choice in front of her. 

She could either wait here for Xander and others to eventually show up or go upstairs and explore these layers of hell further.

Tang Yue was quite sure that there was probably nothing dangerous ahead of her.

If there was something else, then chances are that the other person who probably entered before her slaughtered it all just like they had done the spider lying dead in front of her.

So there was potentially no harm in heading upstairs even if it was for a little bit. 

These were perfectly tailor-made training grounds and her combat prowess was improving a lot.

Besides, the black strings that were still pouring in soul wisps into her own soul and strengthening it, these undead beasts also gave her a soul strength boost.

Not to mention the massive pools of experience points that she was continuously amassing!

So Tang Yue decided not to sit around here uselessly and braved herself to explore what laid ahead of her.

There was a chance that the expert ahead of her might slaughter her as well if their paths meet, but that risk remained the same even if she sat around here aimlessly.

So it was better to simply walk forward and face everything head-on.

Tang Yue hissed and tip-toed across the cavern, side-stepping the massive corpse that laid on the ground.

But she then turned around and bundled everything up, including the rotten flesh, and tossed it all inside the space pearl.

"Beggars cannot be choosers. Sigh."

The snake mumbled and cautiously climbed the small incline, leading to another seemingly endless tunnel.

The sword in her hand thrummed alive as she skillfully slaughtered a dozen giant-sized rats running towards her.

Their shrieks echoed loudly in the previously silent tunnel as one snake and one fireball massacred their way into the depths.

"Hey Little Plum, tell me something Do you think that this is the so-called second layer of hell?"

The small red blob buzzed around her in response.

"Hmmm Are these layers of hell simply tunnels filled with undead beasts?"

"Why won't any of these old men ever explain things clearly?"

"Would it have killed that person to give a few more instructions and pointers to help get through these layers and obtain the inheritance?"

Tang Yue shook her head helplessly. 

She then lifted her shimmering long sword and slaughtered another bunch of rats that threw themselves at her.

The soul weapon glowed as it contently drank all the blood spilled on it. 

It didn't care that the blood was the stale decomposed blood of the undead beast. 

It still absorbed it all without even leaving a single spec behind.

Just like this, Tang Yue progressed smoothly and quickly, almost covering about six different tunnels or rather six 'layers of hell'.

Not only that, but she had also come across six different high-grade beasts at the end of all those tunnels.

Every single one of them was slaughtered in a similar over-powered fashion, with their strong and sturdy bodies slashed into a million pieces and their flesh and blood strewn across.

The snake diligently continued walking upwards, gulping down her saliva nervously and quietly pocketing everything in her sight.

"Ahem If I leave it here, it would just get wasted." She mumbled to herself for justifying the freeloading.

Only cute and sweet Little Plum was there near her, so the snake fearlessly cleaned out every single beast body in sight, particularly the high-grade ones.

But when she arrived on the sixth floor or the sixth layer, something weird started happening.

There were absolutely no beasts around, not even the pesky low-grade beasts whose purpose was probably to overwhelm people with their sheer numbers.

Except for Tang Yue's footsteps, the entire tunnel was eerily silent.
