Chapter 180.2: Escape From Tree Valley (1/2)

The enormous snake gave a long hiss, then shot out after them like a ray of lightning. Its massive body rammed straight through the complicated terrain of the mountain cave. In the blink of an eye, it had caught up with Mu Ye.

Mu Ye flung his iron chain backward. When it hit the snake’s head, it made an ear-piercing sound like that of metal colliding. Though the chain did hurt the snake, it was able to slap it away so that the chain landed between the stalactites.

Tang Doudou was shocked speechless. Had this snake become a spirit? The scales on its body were actually like iron! (When animals, plants, items gather enough spiritual energy to gain consciousness and intelligence, they became demon/spirits.)

What should they do!?

Tang Doudou panicked when she saw that the snake was chasing after them without any intention of giving up. She couldn’t think of any good ideas. However, she realized that Mu Ye probably would have been able to rush out already if he hadn’t been carrying her. She gritted her teeth, then said to Mu Ye, “Put me down and escape first, then come back with people to rescue me!”

Shen Moru still needed her poison blood to feed the bugs. It was obvious from how long he had allowed to her live peacefully on the sacred tree just how much he valued the bugs.

So for the time being, he definitely wouldn’t take her life. At most he would just torture her to vent his anger.

The likeliness of survival was pretty high if Mu Ye managed to get out and bring people back here to rescue her.

After all, if this continued, both of them may end up being captured again.

After she finished speaking, she looked towards Mu Ye, only to see that his expression was very cold and dark, his thin lips were pressed tightly together. As if he sensed her gaze, he said calmly, “If I wanted to leave, would I have stayed until now?”

This sentence caused Tang Doudou to blank out for a moment.

Then she instantly reacted. The reason Mu Ye had stayed in Tree Valley so long wasn’t that he couldn’t leave but because…

She didn’t dare continue thinking along those lines. However, another important matter occurred to her. She had been wearing female garments for so long and Nan Maner had been calling her ‘big sister’ every day, yet Mu Ye had never brought this matter up.

That meant that he had already known about her female identity!

Tang Doudou felt like her intelligence had seriously gone and died.

She didn’t say anything else, and Mu Ye didn’t speak either. He looked at the light ahead of them, then gathered blackish-purple light in his palm and fiercely sent the palm strike towards the enormous snake.

This time he had used ten levels of his inner strength so that enormous snake was sent crashing to the ground.

It writhed painfully on the ground, sending countless rocks flying in its struggle, but could not get back up.

Mu Ye glanced coldly at it, then flew out of the cave with Tang Doudou.

They had finally gotten out! Tang Doudou almost wanted to shout with joy when she saw the familiar valley outside. Right after she opened her mouth though, her expression turned worried and a trace of fear flashed through her eyes.

Not far away from them, still on that tall convex rock, Ah Meng had soundlessly appeared. Its green eyes that contained a bit of red light fixated on the two below the valley.

Along with its appearance, green light appeared all around the valley soundlessly as well. If one swept one’s gaze over them, it would look like a green ocean. The pack Tang Doudou had encountered before paled in comparison to the pack they were facing now.
