Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 300: Little Blue vs Little Plum Part5

Inside the stone chamber, instead of the normal clean and slightly stale mountain air, there was currently a thick poisonous miasma swirling in a corner.

But weirdly enough, this miasma only existed in that small bubble. 

It didn't mix and interact with the other air molecules inside the stone chamber.

This was the poison array that Tang Yue had set up.

With Tang Yue constantly subjecting herself to one domain after another, time quickly flew and in the blink of an eye another entire week had passed by.

After suffering through the torturous dark elemental attacks, she had then trained with the ice elemental array and the lightning array.

And now she was finally adapting herself using the poison array.

Ding. Congratulations. Poison Resistance has upgraded to Level 100.

"Ughhh" Tang Yue weakly groaned. Numerous scars lined her body and she was completely disfigured from top to bottom.

Ironically, thanks to her injury riddled body and the scars from the dark elemental attacks, poison had quickly seeped through her skin and into her blood and bones.

So this had been the fastest physical tempering among the four elements.

"Huff Huff" Tang Yue panted and decided to rest for a few minutes before starting the final fire elemental tempering.

For this, she didn't have to draw any special array. 

She could just use the fragment of the heavenly flame and temper herself in that raw heat.

But Tang Yue paused a while before doing this. 

She could sense that the little fire blob was on the verge of a breakthrough and she wanted to see what was going to happen.

"Dumb little snake, you are still waiting for this?" 

"I already told you that it is very rare for an elemental to evolve and upgrade to the next level." 

"Not many are capable of doing this. How could you be so lucky?" The old man coldly snorted.

"Eh? I am not expecting anything." She sullenly retorted.

"Tch. Tch. What a bad liar!"

"Shut up and just watch the show old man." 

"Maybe my Little Plum is special. How could you know?"

"Aha Ha Ha Ha." A burst of irritating laughter rang in her ears.

Tang Yue ignored the damned jerk and calmly looked at Little Plum.

A few minutes passed by and the small ball of fire which was slowly buzzing until now suddenly started flaring up.

"Heh. Interesting, the little guy has indeed some talent."

"What do you mean?"

The old man didn't have to answer that question.

Right in front of Tang Yue's eyes, the small blob of elemental slowly expanded.

It surprisingly expanded to the size of a small toddler.

"Eh? Will it look like a higher being now?" Tang Yue curiously asked again.

"After upgrading elementals are indeed capable of taking a human form, just like how you are a shape shifter."

"But it depends on the mentality of that guy. Even I can't tell."

Tang Yue did not ask anything further and calmly observed the evolution process.

As she continued watching, the small toddler form which was slowly forming suddenly stopped and the blob started expanding horizontally.

"A fat kid?" Tang Yue was perplexed.

And the next instant, the huge ball of flames died down and a small figure materialized.

"What the heck?" Tang Yue's eyes flew wide.

Even the old man started loudly laughing. "Aha Ha Ha Ha. This little guy is truly weird."

In front of Tang Yue, standing proudly and licking its paws, was a small snow white wolf with a couple of red streaks on its body.

"Hellow Mastow!" A strange new squeaky voice sounded in Tang Yue's mind.

She was pleasantly surprised. This fellow can talk now?

"This This Little Plum, why do you look like this?" Tang Yue curiously asked.

The small wolf blinked cutely and looked at Tang Yue with its puppy dog eyes without saying anything.

"Jusht like boy blue." The squeaky voice sounded again after some time.

This guy decided to take a wolf form instead of human form because he wanted to be like little blue?

Tang Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. 

She patted the small wolf for a while before observing its other changes.

At the end of the day, the form didn't matter much. 

The most important thing was that the baby elemental, who technically was a toddler elemental now, had a small core at its body's center.

Tang Yue wanted to know what this meant. "Can you do stronger fire magic now, little plum?" She patiently asked.

The wolf shook its head vigorously, nodding in excitement. 

It then quickly changed its form becoming a bundle of flames again.

And the next instant, numerous vicious flame serpents with two horns erupted from the small blob of fire.

Tang Yue was once again pleasantly surprised. 

This was the "Dance of dragons", a high-grade fire-magic spell which only Saint realm experts and higher were capable of casting.

It looked like she had once again gained a powerful ally.

"Ok. Wait for me for a few more minutes. We can then leave this place."

"Yes, Mastow." Little Plum happily replied. It was really enjoying this mental communication link.

Tang Yue patted the little guy and quickly took a few steps forward in order to temper her body, and finish the last part of the quest.

Zing. Zing. Zing.

The heat radiating from the purple flame scorched her skin once again and her resistance was slowly improving.

It took a few minutes for her to realize it, but Tang Yue suddenly noticed that the purple flame's strength had slightly reduced.

Huh? She blinked and looked at the flame and then looked at the little wolf.

Did he absorb a part of the flame or what?

"Little Plum, did you eat that flame?" Tang Yue asked, her body sweating profusely both from the heat and her nervousness.

If this little guy had indeed taken a bite out of the Dwarven Empire's treasured heavenly flame, how was she going to explain this to the old dwarf in the hut, who was apparently her Master's Master.

She anxiously waited for the wolf to respond, who once again innocently stared at her with puppy dog eyes.

"Yes Mastow. Very tasty."

Ah~~~ Tang Yue scratched her head. Now, she had really done it! 

The elves were already out for her blood and now the dwarves will also probably chase her to the ends of this world.

"Fuck. We need to get the hell out of here."

"Little Plum, don't eat anymore." She said with a bitter smile and then paused.

He had already eaten so much, what was even the point in stopping now?

"Never mind. Continue cultivating as you were." 

Tang Yue shook her head helplessly and took a couple more steps forward. 

This time she finally received the notification that she was waiting for.

Ding. Congratulations. Heat Resistance has upgraded to Level 100.

Ding. Congratulations. Special Quest completed.

Ding. Congratulations. 1000000 experience points have been rewarded.

Ding. Congratulations. You have leveled up.

Ding. Congratulations. Conditions have been met for physical tempering.

Ding. Congratulations. Evolution has been triggered.

A series of notifications rang loudly and immediately after that, a bright glow of light surrounded Tang Yue's disfigured body and almost bald head.

Intense pain started coursing through her nerves and the pain this time was a hundred times more intense than her normal bloodline evolutions, so much so that Tang Yue had to yell loudly in order to withstand it.

Even Little Plum, who could only sense a fraction of her pain through their mental connection , whined sadly.

Woo Woo Woo

This combined with Tang Yue's loud shrieks was an extremely heart-wrenching scene.

But since the stone chamber was sound proof, no one heard their cries.

Another hour passed by, and finally the stone chamber, which had been tightly closed shut for almost two months now, made loud rumbling noises as it swung open.

KACHA

Tang Yue stepped out. 

She had already donned back her dwarven disguise and walked out casually.

She didn't forget the path they had used to reach this chamber, so she quietly used the same path and started walking out.

But not far from her, a dwarf stared at her figure with his mouth wide agape as if he was looking at a ghost!

This girl was finally out!!!

And she was leaving the mine just like that???!!!

What the hell??? Who will now pay for all the torture that he had endured?

People had nagged him endlessly, cursed at him, scolded him, and even beaten him up because of this one stupid girl!

She had hogged the stone chamber for so many days and thanks to that he was in hot water. 

The dwarf quickly wiped the sweat off of his forehead and sent a couple dozen jade slip messages to a bunch of people.

Because of the damned girl, there was now even a queue and a sign up sheet for the stone chamber usage!!!

Only the heavens can save you now, foolish woman! The dwarf silently lit a candle for the young girl and continued with his job.
