Chapter 187: The necromancer’s legacy Part1

Tang Yue anxiously looked towards her left and right. She was casually floating in the depths of the azure waters. 

As far as she could see, she was near the bottom of the lake, where the lower half of the worm’s body finally tapered.

Moreover, tilting the balance in her favor, the worm was also oblivious to her presence or at least acted oblivious to her presence for now.

So Tang Yue quickly slithered down and swam towards the bottom of the lake.

On the lake’s floor she could make out faint outlines of a tall and round stone, an altar sort of structure, and she swam towards it.

She could intuitively feel that this was the treasure that the glow worm was guarding!

“Master, do you happen to know what this is?” She excitedly inquired. 

Just based on the events which had transpired in the labyrinth so far, surely, this place had to be filled with tricks, deathtraps, and whatnot.

Tang Yue shuddered at the mere thought of it.

But unfortunately, the old man did not reply anything back to her and she could only sigh in frustration.

She was already used to this and didn’t pay much attention to his behavior. 

The old man was probably unable to answer due to some sort of spell or he simply didn’t know the answer to the question at all.

The snake hissed silently and continued slithering towards the bottom of the lake. 

Dangerous or not, she had no other option but to head deeper inside and explore the place.

She had come this far. There was no point in returning empty-handed now.

Moreover… Xander was still fighting the monstrosity back at the surface of the lake.

Tang Yue was many things, but she was not an ungrateful person. 

She might not exactly be able to help him out much with the actual combat at her level, but she could definitely explore this weird-looking place and see if she could do something to make things better.

The snake soon arrived at the designated spot. Her emerald eyes scanned the surroundings and pensively looked around.

Contrary to what she expected, there were actually not that many things around.

There was a huge gigantic stone standing erect like an altar. There were a few plants, creepers growing around it.

And in front of this altar, there were five crystal orbs, with black smoke-like substance swirling within them.

In the middle of these five crystal orbs, there was also another orb, translucent and white in color, shimmering quietly.

“Hmmm…” Tang Yue pondered. She had no idea just what the hell was all of this.

She swam around here and there, peeking cautiously near the altar first, and then seeing that there was no response, she even coiled around it.

But nothing reacted at all. Nothing even moved, except for the plants and creepers.

She then decided to ignore the altar and paid attention to the orbs which were floating.

She hissed and extended her long forked tongue to lick the black orb, but again nothing happened. Tang Yue sighed.

She had only licked the orb as a necessary precaution. Her first instinct was to break open the orb.

Since nothing happened with her licking, she decided to go back to her first instincts and coiled herself tightly around one of the black orbs.

As her hardened scales gradually coiled tighter and tighter around the crystal orb, a sharp sound echoed and the crystal soon broke into a dozen shrapnels.

“Oops.” The snake grinned. 

She patiently waited for something to happen but other than a chill spreading through her body, nothing exactly happened.

Even though the crystal broke, the condensed black smoke, swirled and twirled, still remaining in that same spot as if the crystal had no effect in the first place.

“Hmmm…” Tang Yue bobbed her head up and down, utterly baffled.

She clicked her tongue for a few seconds, and then quickly went ahead and broke the other four black orbs as well.

Crash!

Bang!

Boom!

Pow!

In the blink of an eye, all the crystal orbs were broken except for the white orb at the center and five small black swirls leisurely floated around in the same spot as if absolutely nothing had happened to them.

“Tch. Tch. What the hell am I missing?” Tang Yue wondered.

She was just about to coil herself and break open the last white orb as well when her emerald eyes suddenly noticed something tiny and almost invisible.

Like an army of ants, five thin fragile black strings extended from the five black balls towards her pale blue body.

“Huh? What the hell?” 

Tang Yue leaped backward and swam a little further away, but the black string was still connected to her and extended like a bubble gum.

Gulp. The snake nervously hissed.

Was this poison? Was this the black mist barrier that appeared outside the labyrinth?

A million questions flooded her brain and her mind was frantically trying to figure things out.

But the next instant, an unexpected notification sounded in her ears, clearing all her doubts and calming her down instantly.

Ding. Soul strength has been upgraded

Ding. Soul strength has been upgraded

Ding. Soul strength has been upgraded

…..

…..

…..

The notifications continued pouring into her brain.

“This… This… These are disintegrated soul wisps?” Tang Yue stared blankly with her mouth agape.

The black balls seemed to contain unfathomably endless black mist within them and it was difficult for her to believe that she could actually absorb all of those?!

But that was exactly what was happening right now!

She couldn’t come up with any other explanation for this phenomenon!!!

“Hmm… But isn’t this absorption rate a little too slow?” The snake hissed. She, unfortunately, did not have a lot of time on her hands.

She gazed at the black strings pensively and an idea popped into her mind. 

This was just the passive absorption of the souls into her body, so what if she actively tried to absorb these soul wisps? Was such a thing even possible?

Tang Yue steadied her mind and focused her concentration.

She pictured herself as a vortex with a powerful suction force and tried to actively draw in the strings of the soul.
