Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 171: The light within the darkness Part5

SCREEECH SCREEEECH SCREEEECH

Suddenly, a loud sound echoed from the distance and along with the sound waves, an intense violent aura spread in the air as well.

Everyone in the group instantly froze in fear. They were not sure that they wanted to take the next step forward.

And weirdly enough, the bats which had been constantly assaulting them up until now, also suddenly stopped, as if they didn’t want to disturb or even face what was coming from the depths of the tunnel.

CLINK CLINK CLINK CLINK

CLINK CLINK CLINK CLINK

CLINK CLINK CLINK CLINK

A loud metallic sound echoed in the long dark tunnel. Something was definitely coming towards them.

If its mere footsteps sounded so heavy, then the beast definitely had to be humongous. Everyone shuddered at the very thought of it. 

The smaller undead wasps and bats were already giving them more trouble than what they could comfortably handle. 

Now, if suddenly a gigantic monster with the same toxin attacks was thrown into this mix, it would be truly terrifying. 

Without a doubt, everyone would be annihilated in an instant.

Before the group could properly comprehend just what they were about to face, a pair of enormous metallic claws emerged from the winding tunnel.

Gasp!

Green sticky liquid oozed from the metallic claws, sizzling and melting the rocks on the ground where it leaked and dropped.

This single pair of gigantic metallic claws was soon followed by several other pairs, revealing a grotesque disgusting mucus-covered big spider.

The spider’s body was not that big but each of its legs was terror-inducing sharp metallic claws.

They produced the horrid clinking noise as the spider skittered forward slowly and casually.

Its huge mouth was slightly open, crunching and chewing a couple of wasps at the moment.

Gurrraaaaahhhhh! Screeeech!

The spider’s lifeless beady black eyes shifted slightly and fell on the small groups of elves and snakes standing on its path.

Clink Clink Clink Clink Clink

Its eyes instantly gleamed with life force and it started sharpening its claws excitedly, producing more skin-crawling screeching noises.

Everyone subconsciously took a step back. This enormous beast in front of them was clearly a high-grade beast.

A fucking high-grade beast!

This was more than what they had bargained for.

They all couldn’t help but turn and look at Tang Yue.

Great aunt, please! Let the Saint realm expert fight! They cried inside.

Tang Xi decided that this would be a good chance to undermine her sister and promptly stepped forward.

“You can’t be this stubborn…”

But unfortunately, her speech was cut short as Xavier instantly made a move and everyone turned towards him to see if he could really defeat this gigantic monster all by himself.

Xavier’s nonchalant expression was now replaced with a solemn look and the elf leaped forward positioning himself between the huge undead spider and the rest of the group.

If it was a normal high-grade beast, there was a slight chance that he could have run into some troubles.

But this was an undead high-grade beast. No matter how strong the dark element magic was, it would still be impossible to replicate the original strength of the beast.

So he had enough confidence and strength to deal with this fake high-grade beast in front of him.

The only thing that he was concerned about was the rest of the group.

If he fought this gigantic spider along with the group of weaklings standing frozen behind him, then they would only drag him down and unnecessarily get caught in the cross-hairs.

The others he didn’t care so much, but he needed to ensure his brother’s pet snake’s safety at all costs.

So he immediately created a distance between himself and the group.

Only after seeing this everybody slightly relaxed. 

Tang Yue, however, retained her same old bold and excited expression from before. 

Even she was slightly intimidated by the spider in front of them, but nothing could truly scare her as long as she possessed the ability to use her ‘Lucky sticker’.

She remained calm and collected and prepared herself mentally to step in and help Xavier in case such a situation arose.

The others as well readied themselves and Xavier quickly unsheathed his sword to start the onslaught.

His casual and lazy demeanor had completely changed and the man standing right now was as sharp as an arrow.

His every move emitted power and the elf elegantly slashed at the bizarre metallic legs of the spider.

Gurrraaaaahhhhh! Screeeech!

The beady black eyes of the spider shifted and it used two of its rear legs to pincer the elf annoying it and causing it pain.

But Xavier had already skillfully stepped back after slashing at the spider once. Its metallic claws were not fast enough to reach him in time.

The elf used this same tactic and to leap forward and slash it, while immediately moving back to avoid retaliation.

Within seconds, the spider’s entire body was covered with numerous sword wounds and the amount of toxic ooze leaking out of it tripled.

On the other hand, there was not a single scratch on Xavier’s body.

The beast was thoroughly enraged as it shook its body vigorously, sending out drops of toxic liquid everywhere.

DODGE

Xavier shouted, predicting what was about to come.

Everyone held their heart in their hands and dodged carefully avoiding the flying toxic ooze.

Of course, except for the snake, who happily enjoyed the green rain. It felt nourishing and invigorating to her.

Tang Xi gaped at her actions with her mouth wide open.

Both of them were serpentine clan members, so why was she alone being affected by this poison so much, while Tang Yue was simply wiping it off like a pleasant rainwater drizzle.

But she didn’t have time to worry about that right now.

Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta

Green toxic droplets were falling like rain on them. The spider was spinning like a maniac preventing Xavier from approaching it any more.
