Chapter 350: Medussa’s Grave Part6
“Masta! Look there.” Little Plum howled.
Tang Yue turned around and looked in the direction the wolf was pointing.
“Hmmm… Another statue huh?” She furrowed her brows, the sense of unease within her growing stronger every second.
In front of Tang Yue was a big statue of some sort of soldier.
It was made of stone, but the carving of the statue was exquisite and it almost looked like the warrior was alive.
The blue snake and her three pets had been walking around for a while now and they had come across this type of statue several times now.
Similar stone statues of soldiers and warriors were lying around everywhere, littered on the island.
Considering that they were still in the outer edges of the island, Tang Yue observed the statue for a couple of seconds, and then she kept moving forward, slashing at the thorny bramble in front of her.
The dense cluster of trees soon cleared, with the forest having fewer trees now and when Tang Yue stepped onto these open grounds, she instantly noticed another presence nearby.
She turned around to look in the direction where she sensed the presence of a beast when suddenly she felt about a hundred other eyes staring at her.
“Shit! Am I fully surrounded?”
Tang Yue clenched her sword tightly as she waited for the beasts to react first.
She still had very little idea about the place where she was standing.
But the old man had called this trip a hunting trip, so this was something Tang Yue had already expected.
“Little Plum and Little Blue, be very careful and support each other. I am not sure if I will be able to look out for you guys.”
“Also…” Tang Yue glanced at the harpy as well and nodded. “Take care.”
In reality, the harpy was still recovering but it was a huge creature, at least twice the size of Tang Yue.
So even though it was a bit weak right now it was still capable of holding on in the face of an onslaught.
While the group readied themselves, branches of the nearby trees rustled in the wind and several heads popped out from within them.
“White Apes!”
Tang Yue gripped her sword tightly as she looked around trying to get a rough estimate of the number of beasts surrounding them.
But she quickly gave up on that, when the number was clearly more than fifty and probably more than a hundred.
One after another continued to pop up, some from the trees and some from the inner forests.
“What the fuck?” Tang Yue grimaced. “Where did these many suddenly come out from?”
The apes had huge bodies and thick white fur and they had surrounded Tang Yue completely from all sides, marking her as the unwelcome intruder in their territory.
But unfortunately, they were just mid-grade beasts.
Even though they had the absolute advantage in numbers, Tang Yue was a step above them in strength.
“Old man, am I supposed to slaughter these apes?” Tang Yue asked to confirm her doubts.
“Don’t underestimate your opponents, little snake.”
“Alright then!” Tang Yue grinned stepping forward.
Though she was a bit nervous, she couldn’t help but feel her blood coursing through her veins and her heart thumping loudly. This excited her!
As Tang Yue took another step forward, the apes immediately started screaming and shouting at the top of their lungs.
OOO! OOO! AAAAAh!
Hooo! OOO! OOO! AAAAH!
The apes began banging their chest with their thick paws and started dashing towards Tang Yue and the two wolves at full speed.
They clearly had no intentions of fighting fair and facing Tang Yue or wolves one at a time.
They came running at her with the sole purpose of stampeding her to death.
Tang Yue instantly swirled and reacted fast. “Plum, cast dancing dragons.” She commanded the elemental and cast a fire magic spell of her own.
The very next second, the ground shook, dozens of fire dragons and flame serpents roaring their heads!
A circle of fire surrounded them forming a barrier between Tang Yue and her group and the numerous apes.
The apes who were rushing forward without any restraint, now slightly paused, unable to pass through the fire magic barrier.
Those who dared to venture in, suffered from severe burn injuries, dancing maniacally from the searing pain.
OOOAAAAH! OOOOAAAAH! OOOOAAAH!
They started screaming even louder.
Then unexpectedly, their white fur, which was now scorched and blackened in several places, turned a rich copper color.
After which, the apes increased their pace once again and started rushing towards the group, barely able to withstand the fiery barricade.
Since they were fighting as a group, Tang Yue stood at the front and Little Plum stood at the back, flanking the two weaklings, Little Blue, and the harpy.
Both Tang Yue and Little Plum quickly took care of the incoming apes, Little Plum unleashing big dense balls of fire one after the another and Tang Yue using both fire elemental magic and earth elemental magic.
“Arise!” Tang Yue muttered, and a dozen strong sturdy earthen spears popped out of the ground in front of her, impaling the first row of monkeys dashing towards her.
She then slashed her sword forward, taking care of the few who escaped the spears but were gravely injured by the roaring flames.

….
….
….
A dozen notifications rang in her ears, but the apes had no end in sight and they kept pouring on top of her one wave after another.
Even with Little Blue helping out, finishing some of the severely wounded apes, the group was slowly getting overwhelmed by numbers.
“Damn it!” Tang Yue cursed. If only she could establish a domain!
That would be a large-scale attack and would definitely help her deal with this beast horde onslaught.
But that was something only Demi-Gods can accomplish and her cultivation base was still in the Saint realm.
Tang Yue did not dwell too much on what she could do if she had the skills and quickly cast a dozen spells which she was currently able to.
“Loose ground.”
“Flame serpent.”
“Lava rods.”
“Earth spears.”
She tirelessly cast one spell after another, alternating between her swordplay and elemental spell casting.
It was absolute chaos and madness.
Heads, tails, limbs, and torsos flew everywhere, blood and flesh raining all around them.
Even a one-second lack of concentration would most definitely cost them their lives.
In the midst of this intense battlefield, Tang Yue’s emerald eyes twinkled as she spotted a few anomalies in the group.
Some of the apes rushing towards them had glittering silver fur, slightly different from the white fur.
“Higher-grade beasts!” Tang Yue shouted out, warning the others.
She moved away from the center, slashing her way through the mess, and leaped towards these special strong apes.
KACHA!
Tang Yue felt strong tremors sweeping through her body as her sword landed on one of these silver apes.
Just as she had thought, these were more special and had sturdier defenses.
But the silver apes also had another surprise for Tang Yue.
The beast blocked her sword attack and pulled its head back to let out loud roars, blades of wind also flying out of its mouth accompanying the roars.
“Shit!” Tang Yue quickened her pace and twisted her body into various poses as she nimbly evaded these wind blades.
“These bastards have wind affinity!” Tang Yue panted.
While the apes with the white fur simply had strong defenses and a sturdy body, the silver apes most definitely had the wind elemental affinity.
“I should kill these first.” Tang Yue raised her hand materializing a lava spear and once again directly leaped towards the silver ape, taking head on a couple of wind blade hits.
SHUA!
She landed directly on the ape and plunged the spear into the ape’s skull using the full power of her fleshly body and cultivation base.
The ape widened its eyes in surprise but the next second its eyes turned white and lifeless.
With the spear, bashed into its skull, the ape was no longer able to put up a fight and quickly fell down, stumbling.

Tang Yue did not wait around to watch it collapse and she already moved back to the center to help Little Plum with the overwhelming numbers.
Little Plum had reverted to its elemental form, and with the purple flame at its center, the red blob was spinning around in rhapsody, shooting out flames in all directions.
Even the harpy was punching some apes left and right.
Tang Yue sighed as she watched the gory sight and she quickly jumped into the fray clearing some of the beasts targeting Little Blue.
She cast another Dragon Dance spell instantly clearing out or at least pushing back the horde and giving them some breathing room.
