Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 166: My team mates? part5

What a slut! 

Not being able to tolerate the sight of the disgustingly exhibited flesh, Tang Yue rolled her eyes and turned away.

But when she turned towards the side, her eyes fell on Xavier, and … cough… cough… it looked like Xavier had a very different response… much different than her own.

The man looked at the alluring beast unblinkingly, forgetting even to take the next bite out of his fruit.

How pathetic! How could this guy fall just like that for an obvious honey trap?? Wasn’t he a royal elven prince for heaven’s sake? 

Tang Yue grimaced, though she wasn’t entirely surprised. Xavier’s very obvious weakness towards beautiful spirit beasts was not exactly a well-kept secret.

The snake helplessly shook her head. It seemed like she couldn’t trust this guy too much after all.

To be honest, the second she learned that she would be exploring the labyrinth with so-called teammates, she had kind of expected some familiar company.

But she hadn’t expected her beloved sister Tang Xi to show up. She was not even in the top 50 of the contest finalists like herself.

So how did she even obtain a spot to participate in this labyrinth, let alone as her teammate?

Hmm… Tang Yue pensively looked around and gazed at her other elven teammates. 

Most of them looked like seasoned veterans and she hadn’t seen any of these faces in the contest for the commoners. 

So most probably they were from noble families.

She recollected just how close Tang Xi was standing to the disgusting old elf Dranuk and quickly started putting two and two together.

After that, it didn’t exactly take that long for her to come to the very obvious conclusion.

Her entire team was probably a trap set up by Marvin and Dranuk to take care of her once and for all.

And this conniving bitch Tang Xi probably stuck to them in order to personally ensure their success.

After all, if Tang Yue fell, then the serpentine clan would be “obligated” to send another beast consort to the Crown Prince.

And of course, this replacement would no doubt be Tang Xi herself.

Tang Yue couldn’t help but be amazed at the magnitude of their scheming. 

The key point was to successfully coordinate with her already prevalent enemies and the mother and daughter pair had succeeded.

But unfortunately for them, the mad man at the top always had the habit of throwing wrenches in other’s plans.

Tang Yue was pretty sure that Xander was somehow involved in Xavier being her teammate. 

Otherwise, why would a royal prince randomly travel with her exploring such a dangerous place? 

He would have been better off moving along with the royal army teams or even with Xander’s personal Generals.

As for the question of why Xander did this, she was not too sure about the answer.

But it didn’t matter. Somehow everything ended up working in her favor. 

This trash standing in front of her can’t possibly assassinate her in Xavier’s presence.

Gulp. Tang Yue cast another glance at the bewitched elf who was still ogling at Tang Xi. 

Damn it. He won’t betray me, right? Sigh. The snake shook her head helplessly. 

In the end, maybe this trip was more than what she had bargained for!

After a few minutes… Xavier finally recovered from his trance, probably after somewhat sensing Tang Yue’s angry fiery look at him.

“Ha Ha Ha. Greetings, Princess.” He smiled awkwardly and responded with a polite nod to the bashful spirit beast batting her eyelashes at him.

He then turned towards Tang Yue and his smile disappeared. He cleared his throat awkwardly and looked away. 

Why must life be so complicated? Xavier sighed. The cake was right in front of him but it looks like he won’t be able to eat it today.

Tang Xi couldn’t be more pleased with herself and her smile widened. 

Even though what they had originally planned, now seemed impossible, it looked like something good still came out of it.

If Tang Yue died, then well and good, as per plan she would be officially engaged to the Crown soon.

If not… then… this elf in front of her didn’t seem to be a bad replacement… She grinned.

She looked at Tang Yue and smiled sweetly as if she intended to purposefully provoke her.

Tang Yue clenched her fists and remained still. 

She leaned on the rock with her forehead touching the stony hard exterior and mumbled a few curses incoherently.

Luckily for her, their waiting time did not last long.

Soon… loud thunderous rumbling sounds echoed from all over the mountain.

RUMBLE RUMBLE

KARA KA BOOM KA BOOM 

A black mist gathered in the sky, extending over the entire mountainous range and several bolts of fiery lightning descended from the heavens striking down on the mountain range, one even landing very close to where Tang Yue and the group were standing.

The snake anxiously gulped down her saliva and observed keenly the things happening around her.

Was everything going according to plan? She wondered.

The others including Tang Xi also had similar expressions. Only Xavier had resumed his leisurely snacking and was still acting as if he had come over here for a picnic trip.

The rumbling sounds and the lightning bolts lasted for a few more minutes, after which the black mist which was hovering in the sky above them suddenly descended and formed a sort of big barrier around them.

One of the elves curiously extended his hand to touch it, when Xavier casually reminded him with an absent-minded look.

“You will die if you touch it. It has a strong aura of death.”

The burly elf immediately retreated his hand in shock and fear. Everyone subconsciously inched away from the barrier.

Soon, the thin layer of black mist started thickening bit and bit, and after a few seconds, a long and dense string of black mist shot out from it.

It landed on the rough outer surface of the mountain, connecting the mountain with the black barrier.

“It has begun.” 

Xavier murmured and threw away the rest of his fruit, which sizzled and decayed into nothingness as it touched the black barrier.
