Chapter 404 We meet again Part3
"Don\'t look back and keep going. We are almost there." Jin Nuhen loudly commanded. He could see all the snakes visibly shivering.
"I know that the sight of the massive army is terrifying, but our Empress trusted us and gave us an order."
"We need to be strong and keep striving forward. Don\'t you all want to see your brothers and sisters again?"
Everyone nodded and clutched the weapons in their hands tighter as they kept digging forward.
They had already reached the hardened rocks of the chasm and they were very close to digging through to the lair.
"Let\'s keep going." Jin Nuhen shouted again, but this time before his voice could reach out, a loud shrill shriek sounded.
Jin Nuhen stared at the distance in terror as he could sense an overwhelming pressure. This has to be an Emperor beast!
Will the Empress really be okay? Even he began to waver, but the next instant Tang Yue\'s casual laughter eased his nerves.
"Faster." He commanded the snakes as they broke through the final barrier of the chasm and the long tunnel that they were digging connected to their previous home, the lair of the snake spirit beasts.
All the snakes inside were instantly alarmed to see the familiar faces but they couldn\'t rejoice as there was overwhelming pressure from the Emperor beast.
"Don\'t simply stand there. Move it. Everyone get into the tunnel and enter the palace. NOW!" Jin Nuhen yelled.
His commanding words made them snap out of their trance and the snakes quickly started clearing out the lair and moving into the tunnel.
While they twisted and turned fled towards the palace, Tang Yue stood facing the huge ant\'s bony exoskeleton as it crawled towards her domineeringly.
It\'s body was brown in color with black stripes and sharp metallic claws stuck out from its limbs.
The ant loudly screeched and instantly the tens of thousands of soldiers regained their composure and no longer acted confused or chaotic.
In fact, they seemed to be clicking their razor sharp mandibles even faster as if they had been energized and were in a frenzy.
"So you are finally here. Ant Emperor!" Tang Yue smirked.
"You are going to pay for this intruder." The huge ant let out a loud screeching noise and all the ants started dashing towards Tang Yue.
"You will never defeat us!"
Their collective presence was nothing short of terrifying. It looked as if their skin and body had hardened and they were moving like a mound towards Tang Yue.
However, she calmly hissed. She was no longer terrified of these Emperor beasts. Her opponent was someone else.
She closed her eyes and silently circulated her cultivation base. The next second thick black fumes started emanating from her body and they slowly spread out.
Dark elemental Domain!
A swirl of dark putrid energy started spilling everywhere mixing in with the earth.
One by one, the ants dashing forward drowned in this putrid energy and their movements turned sluggish.
Tang Yue slashed her sword and danced in this muddled mess, killing dozens of ants single-handedly.
No one could ever come near her and if they did, they were instantly hit by the corrosive dark elemental domain.
The ant Emperor shuddered after looking at this massacre.
"Retreat." It immediately shouted, seeing that the enemy was clearly stronger than them and the advantage of their numbers was nothing in comparison.
For centuries, they had been surviving on this island solely relying on their numbers but there were enemies that even they didn\'t dare stand against.
One such being was the Dragon but it looked like there was now another new predator on the island.
Tang Yue did not chase after the ant herd and but she sent out another few slashes killing whatever she could reach.
She then settled down to absorb the massive soul essence swirling in the area.
Meanwhile, the snakes had almost completely evacuated the cavern and were now well within the safety of the palace.
Jin Nuhen waited at the entrance of the tunnel for Tang Yue.
He didn\'t think that he had to inform her about their progress because she could already sense that they had moved their clan successfully to safety.
Nevertheless, he patiently stood waiting for her.
Everyone could see the ant army retreating so they were quite relieved and almost even rejoicing.
However, suddenly a head splitting roar sounded and the ground shook.
Tang Yue immediately flashed her eyes open and before Nuhen could even blink, she had retreated back into the tunnel, standing next to him.
"Your highness…?" The snake muttered hesitantly, unsure of what the hell was happening.
Especially the dreadful look on Tang Yue\'s face was worrying him since she had been very calm and casual up until now.
But before he could even finish his sentence, suddenly a big round eye opened in front of the tunnel, staring right into it.
Tang Yue fell back, pulling Jin Nuhen along with her.
The barrier around the palace protected them but yet, the mere presence of the eye was intimidating.
Nuhen gulped not knowing what the monstrous eye was, but Tang Yue was already familiar with it.
That was why she had reacted instantly and ran back to the tunnel, clutching her life in her palm.
"Ke ke ke! How interesting! It looks like the pest is still alive." A mocking voice flooded into the tunnel.
The dragon retrieved its eye back and now it revealed its sharp rows of teeth. It was sneering at the group of snakes, coiled together and hiding at the tunnel.
The next second an insane pressure rammed at them or more precisely at the air around the tunnel.
The attack sent tremors across the tunnel, but nevertheless, the barrier held strong.
"Retreat! BACK TO THE PALACE NOW!" Tang Yue shouted.
Some of the snakes had already started slithering back to the palace but some had stayed back, but now that they heard her comment, everyone dashed together as fast as they could.
