Hidden genius: Black belly snake

As numerous experts descended from the sky and turned the entire forest upside down, Tang Yue was peacefully slithering away from the danger zone.

Thanks to the underground tunnel shortcut, she was almost within the outskirts of the Eldorian establishment.

She didn't encounter any other beasts en route and was smoothly making her getaway.

There were even 30 seconds still left on her lucky sticker!

So Tang Yue pretty confidently continued slithering away without caring about anything else.

She was completely awestruck by the awesomeness of the lucky sticker. 

It was definitely worth half of her soul strength.

"Master, is there really a treasure in the forest?" She respectfully asked.

At this point, Tang Yue couldn't differentiate between heads and tails. 

Everything that was happening was entirely beyond her grasp.

[Ha Ha. Dumb little snake. I am the treasure that the heavens wanted to destroy.]

"What?" Tang Yue coughed up blood.

[Mmm. I revealed a part of myself and the tribulation lightning greeted me instantly.]

"Then what about luck? Lucky sticker?"

[Ha Ha. Dumb little snake. Everything needs a catalyst.]

[You will understand this when you have more power.]

[System is tired now. Don't disturb me, dumb snake.]

Tang Yue couldn't help but gasp in shock. 

In the name of lucky sticker, did the senior orchestrate and manipulate everything and provide help for her?

She didn't know that the system or rather the elder's soul which had invaded her body was such a heaven-defying treasure.

Tang Yue was a little too tired and worn out to think about these things right now.

She continued slithering towards the elven settlement, dazed and confused.

The remaining seconds in her lucky sticker were also steadily getting depleted.

Everything should have been fine, but suddenly, the ground next to her started quaking.

"Fuck!" Tang Yue's heart almost stopped. This was a very familiar earthquake!

"Damn it. Is fate this determined to end my life today?"

She tried to pick up her pace and slithered faster, but her wounded body did not quite cooperate with her.

"Waaah! Mommy! I am never stepping out of the palace again!"

"Maybe after I reach the Martial realm… no wait, only after I reach Emperor realm!"

Tang Yue was genuinely terrified. 

One after the other, all sorts of beasts have been getting the better of her today! 

The ground which slightly shook now started quaking with much more intensity.

Tang Yue slipped away as best as she could, but a huge crashing noise sounded behind her.

Boom!

The torn apart tattered body of the centipede landed in front of her, blocking her path.

It stared at her with animosity and its mouth was busy chewing on something else. 

Drops of blood leaked out of the corners of its mouth.

The centipede impassively circled around her and blocked her path of escape.

It looked like it was bent on swallowing everything on its path in order to recover its full strength back.

Tang Yue trembled. 

"Damn it! Has the lucky sticker ended already?"

She weakly morphed into her human form. 

Her trembling hands retrieved the mid-grade sword from her space pearl and feebly held it.

Her mind was completely blank. 

Earlier she was toyed around by a mere low-grade beast, now what could she possibly do against a high-grade beast?

As the centipede approached closer and closer to her, Tang Yue collapsed on the ground and held her sword weakly in front of her.

The centipede didn't even bother ignoring the sword and proceeded to open its mouth, with the sword still scratching it.

But in the next instant…

A crisp notification sounded in Tang Yue's mind.

Ding. 1 Quagmire Centipede killed

Ding. 10000 Experience points rewarded

Ding. Congratulations. You have leveled up

Ding. Congratulations. Superfast level up bonus: You have 3 chances for the lucky wheel

Ding. Congratulations. You have leveled up

The monster that was most definitely about to devour her whole, had dropped dead right in front of her, on her lap!

Tang Yue was stunned silly.

She was too scared and frightened out of her wits to even move a muscle.

The sword in her hands dropped and her eyes blinked lifelessly.

Ding. Lucky sticker has been exhausted.

"Ah~" 

Now she understood what had happened!

Tang Yue swallowed the saliva in her mouth and stared at the monstrosity in front of her.

She extended her arm weakly and touched the corpse, even poking it. 

Nothing happened. The beast didn't move. It was definitely dead.

She swallowed her saliva again and retrieved her space pearl to toss in the body of the gigantic beast.

By now, it had almost become a reflex action for her.

Her entire body was still trembling from fear and anxiety.

This was a high-grade beast for heaven's sake! 

It's skin alone was invaluable, let alone its meat and bones!

Everything that was happening felt very surreal to her.

Tang Yue did not dare to linger around any further. If this centipede came knocking at her doorstep, several other beasts could come as well.

She quickly pocketed the damned thing and got the hell out of there.

And just as her tail end disappeared into the tree branches, rustling noises sounded and a group of four elves stepped out of the thickets. 

All of them looked extremely wounded and injured. 

They had also just barely escaped from the calamity back in the forest.

"That… That is Tang Yue? She killed the centipede?" Charlotte stuttered and walked forward.

"You… How did she do that?" Rosalinda was equally shocked.

They had just walked in and only saw Tang Yue collecting dead high-grade beast's body.

The centipede that had terrorized them to death was now being casually pocketed by the weak snake.

Charlotte's eyes almost popped out of their cavity.

She just couldn't believe what was happening in front of her.

"Should we kill her and take it for ourselves?" Herald, one of her companions voiced out.

Charlotte gazed at the disappearing snake and nodded.

Her bleeding lips curved upwards into a sly smile.

"When an opportunity presents itself, how can we miss it?"

The four elves instantly moved, their speeds visibly higher than Tang Yue even at their wounded state.

The night was truly never-ending…
