Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 371: Stronger together Part5

"Now how do I break apart this beast nest" Tang Yue pondered, her gaze on the hills a few miles away from her.

She then sighed, looking at Little Plum. "Guess it's time for me to gain some insights too!"

It was not like Tang Yue had come up empty thinking of a solution. She did think of a plan, just that it was a little too crazy!

As far as she could see, the only way to disrupt that beast nest was to bring down the entire mountain altogether!

It seemed excessive and more importantly, impossible, but Tang Yue couldn't think of anything else.

Not only would it drive out all the lava salamanders from their home ground, but it would also surely take out a few, as the mountain crumbles on top of them.

But what was she powerful enough to bring down an entire mountain?

Tang Yue did not know yet, but she was determined to try. 

She was playing in the big leagues now and that too without any back up so she couldn't afford to not go out of her comfort zone and push her limits. 

She hissed pensively and first started casting 'One with the Earth' spell again and again and observed the terrain below her, extending all the way to the active volcanic hill.

She calmly paid attention to all the small details and when the spell drained her energy, she took a break and observed again, paying attention to every single fault line on the ground.

Tang Yue then took a few deep breaths before finally making her first attempt on the high-grade earth magic spell 'Tremor'.

She was quite proficient in casting high grade fire magic spell, however, she had not attempted this before.

She closed her eyes and rotated her earth elemental core, before swirling the essence to her finger tip.

"Tremor." She muttered, a slight energy wave emanating from her finger tips and shaking the surface of the earth, almost making Jin Wei lose his balance.

"Your highness" He looked at Tang Yue in awe and amazement once again, seeing that she also possessed an affinity for the earth element.

He and the other spirit snakes slithering around watched and waited for Tang Yue patiently as she, again and again, practiced the spell.

With her natural talent, combined with the high affinity she had for earth elemental, not to mention, 'One with the Earth' spell, she was slowly improving every time.

And as she grew more proficient, the tremors grew stronger as well, until finally, Tang Yue managed to invoke an earthquake of a formidable magnitude.

It took her two entire days but she managed to uproot an entire patch of trees on the outer regions of the hilly terrain.

"Phew!" She hissed wiping the sweat off of her forehead with a big grin on her face. "It's time!"

Little Plum stopped cultivating and followed her obediently, while the other snake spirit beasts slithered further away so as to not get in her way.

Tang Yue then slithered closer to the volcanic hill and cleared another batch of low-grade lava salamanders who were wandering nearby before settling down on a cozy spot and starting her handiwork all over again.

She placed her hands down on the ground and first identified the fault lines that directly connected the pressure build-up under the volcanic mountain.

Unlike the farther lands in which the fault lines were more stable, here the fault lines were extremely unstable even to begin with.

Tang Yue did not know this before as she had never felt a volcanic land prior to this but as soon as she felt the earth she instantly saw this flaw. 

"This is going to be so much easier than I had expected!" She smirked before quickly beginning to induce Tremors one after another, all strategically placed to disrupt the entire chain of mountains.

And once she initiated the first big earthquake, shaking the major fault line and cracking it to bits, the built up pressure completely erupted with a loud explosive sound.

KABOOM!

An enormous literally earth shattering sound rang in the air as the chain of mountains quickly started crumbling one after the other.

She had only aimed for the volcanic mountain but everything around it collapsed as well turning the entire area into a gigantic pile of dust, rocks, and hot molten lava flying out everywhere.

It was truly a terrifying sight to see. Tang Yue herself was busy scurrying around here and there, trying to avoid the aftermath.

She slithered back to a safe distance and then watched as the lava salamanders slithered out in huge numbers as if ants dashing out of an ant hill.

Tang Yue couldn't help but gasp. What she had expected was indeed correct!

Along with the low-grade and mid-grade lava salamanders who were rushing out, there were numerous high-grade lava salamanders rushing out as well.

Not to mention a gigantic beast that crawled out, which Tang Yue had initially mistaken to be flowing lava itself.

This beast definitely had to be rare-grade at the least! She shuddered from the overwhelming pressure it exuded.

This was clearly not a beast that she could face head on with her current strength. 

But unfortunately, she had poked a beehive and now she had to face consequences!

As soon as it showed its head, Tang Yue had already started running away, heading straight for the previously cleared ape zone.

The other snakes, as well, had caught her action and also started running away in the same direction.

Her plan was still the same. 

She can easily corner some high-grade lava salamanders and maybe get to them one at a time and then move on without bothering the big boss.

But right now, she needed to run and take cover. 

If she let that gigantic beast realize that she had been the one to disrupt its peaceful home, there was no doubt that she would be in deep shit!
