Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Tang Yue slithered out of the quarry as fast as she could. 

Resentment filled her heart as she headed deeper and deeper into the ground, running for her life using all the strength that she could muster.

She once again felt as helpless as she did when she was cornered by the golden ape.

She had struggled so much and come this far, but in the end, she was still weak and was forced to run with her tail in between her legs.

Tang Yue shuddered as she thought about the dwarf who took the powerful blow on her behalf.

Sure, the man had a sturdy body but he had done more for her than anyone had ever done.

He was the only person who was helping her whilst expecting nothing in return from her.

Tang Yue's emerald eyes clouded with tears as she hoped and prayed that Miller was okay.

Though she had never seen the human being fight in person, she knew that the man had obtained the legacy from the ancient labyrinth.

So he was probably much more powerful than an average Demi-God expert.

Would her Master really be able to hold his ground against someone like that?

Her heart ached as she slithered into another hole, heading deeper and farther away from the two Demi-Gods tearing each other apart.

She was merely a realm lower than them in terms of strength and raw combat power, but still that single realm looked like a vast ocean right now.

Tang Yue couldn't even withstand a single hit from that human being and she was tossed away like a useless rag doll.

Then what was the point of all her training?

She had a unique ability that others didn't dare dream about. 

She was able to absorb bloodlines from beasts and beasts more powerful than cultivators resided in their world! 

Beasts of unknown ancient origin, beasts exponentially stronger than dragons, so what the hell was she still doing to be so weak and vulnerable?

It was one thing to be weak when you had nothing but it was entirely another thing to be weak when you had everything.

Tang Yue hated herself for not working more harder.

Now all she needed was time but that seemed to elude her. 

Death stared at her at every turn and today the single man who was probably closest to a father figure to her was going to sacrifice himself in order to save her. 

Why couldn't she have discovered her ability a bit more sooner? 

Why couldn't she have become more powerful before all these disasters struck her?

Tang Yue paused. She stopped running as she suddenly thought of something.

They were in the middle of the Dwarven Empire for god's sake!!!

Why the hell was she running away???

That single human being might be as powerful or more powerful than a Demi-God like her Master, but what about the others?

The Dwarven Empire had more than a dozen of Demi-God experts. 

They might not be a complete Demi-God like Xander but they were all Grandmaster Blacksmiths and had excellent physical tempering just like her master.

They were also very old and probably possessed a lot of combat experience. 

Surely, they must be rushing towards Miller for aiding him in this fight???

Tang Yue panted as she thought about this important point, but then her eyes suddenly widened in realization.

Why would the cunning and scheming human being put himself in danger by fighting in the middle of the Dwarven Empire?

Surely, he must have also noticed such an important point.

But if that was the case, he would have been outnumbered in seconds and the entire Empire would right now be attacking him from all directions.

Tang Yue looked back, her long and slender serpentine form slithering at the back of the mountains right now. 

She had burrowed so far that by the time she popped out, she had already come out of the mountains.

Her eyes scanned the land in front of her for any possible disturbance but weirdly nothing seemed out of place.

There were no signs of a battle and no signs of her Master and the human being fighting it out.

Tang Yue's heart instantly sank and her face paled as a frightening thought crept up her mind.

What if the human somehow managed to hide all of this?

She didn't know how it was possible. She didn't know what technique he could have used.

But if no one was coming to help her Master even after a whole minute and more, then surely no one had sensed this yet.

Tang Yue immediately stopped. Clearly, running away was not the answer right now.

She wanted to head back to the dwarven royal palace and contact someone.

If she could just notify anyone, then her Master could be saved and the human being will be successfully captured.

However, going all the way back and finding out how to contact any of the dwarven experts was surely not the fastest solution.

Grandmasters tended to be in seclusion guarded by formations, which probably only they could unveil. 

So who was she supposed to talk to now? She didn't know anyone.

That old man… That old man in the hut. He seemed extremely powerful but there was no way to contact him too.

As she counted out all her options one by one, a certain someone's figure flashed in front of her eyes.

But this time Tang Yue did not hesitate. She did not care about her pride or the squabble in between them.

All she cared about was her Master's well-being. 

She quickly took out a jade slip and hurriedly panted, pouring out everything to Xander.

She then crushed it and took out another.

She didn't know if Xander would see her message because he had never replied back anything when she had sent him the demon summoning technique. 

So to make sure that he received the news, she sent the same message once again to both Xavier and Charlotte, asking her to inform her father.
