Chapter 247 First Test Completed

So what Tang Nian needs to do now is to gain the approval of the Netherworld Serpent Clan.

The two acted immediately, beginning their search for the Netherworld Serpent Clan in the River of Oblivion.

Before this, in order to successfully ambush the legendary Netherworld Serpent King, Tang Nian had gone to great lengths, tirelessly exploring half of the River of Oblivion thoroughly and clearly.

That's why finding traces of the Nether Serpent Clan at this moment is an incredibly easy task for her.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the territory occupied by the Nether Serpent Clan.

As far as the eye can see, the landscape is desolate and dilapidated, as if there is no sign of any life here.

However, in the midst of this deathly silence, suddenly, an extremely faint rustling sound rang out without warning, instantly shattering the tranquility.

Immediately afterwards, the soil beneath my feet began to tremble slightly, as if something was stirring underground.

The next moment, a chilling scene unfolded. Countless pairs of eyes, radiating a cold, icy light, emerged one after another from the ground like ghosts. Their greenish color made them appear particularly sinister and terrifying.

Then, one after another, winding and twisting bodies slowly rose from the ground. At a glance, it was as if thousands upon thousands of snakes, like a surging tide, had swiftly and tightly surrounded the two of them.

Although Tang Nian had never been particularly afraid of snakes, when she saw the dense, countless snakes in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. Could it be that she had trypophobia?

At that moment, the strong, pungent, and nauseating stench assaulted her, making it increasingly difficult for her to breathe, and her chest felt as heavy as if a boulder was pressing down on it.

At the same time, her heart began to pound uncontrollably, faster and faster, almost leaping out of her throat.

The terrifying swarm of snakes coiled and swam around them, looking like a group of well-trained soldiers silently awaiting orders to attack.

Their slender bodies twisted and turned nimbly among the branches, and occasionally darted swiftly through the dense grass. The slippery, wet touch and the icy coldness of their bodies sent chills down one's spine, making one tremble uncontrollably.

Shi Ye stared intently at the scene unfolding before him. He saw countless slimy, slippery snakes wriggling on the ground, and he couldn't help but feel nauseous, his brows furrowing tightly.

These disgusting creatures aroused a deep sense of revulsion in him, but he managed to suppress the urge to turn and leave immediately with his strong willpower, and instead turned his gaze to Tang Nian beside him.

Tang Nian took a deep breath, as if to encourage herself.

Then, she slowly extended her right hand, and a bright red spider lily quietly bloomed in her palm.

As the spider lily appeared, six dazzling soul rings also materialized around her body.

The spirit rings were purple, black, red, red, red, and red.

The moment the spirit rings appeared, the numerous snakes that had been clustered together seemed to be greatly frightened and quickly scattered to both sides.

Immediately afterwards, a huge, dark green snake with a massive body twisted its thick body and slowly appeared in front of Shi Ye and Tang Nian.

The giant snake raised its head high, its cold vertical pupils staring directly at Tang Nian's sixth spirit ring, seemingly extremely sensitive to the aura it emitted.

Tang Nian keenly noticed the giant snake's actions and seemed to be deep in thought.

She quickly understood the reason: the spirit ring contained the unique aura of the Nether Serpent King.

With that in mind, Tang Nian took out a piece of Netherworld Serpent King Soul Bone that shone with a mysterious light from the storage bag she carried with her without hesitation.

When this soul bone was exposed to the air, the aura of the Netherworld Serpent King emanating from it became even stronger.

In an instant, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence.

At that moment, all the members of the Netherworld Serpent Clan seemed to be frozen in place, ceasing their actions. Their gazes, like bolts of lightning, focused unanimously on the mysterious soul bone in Tang Nian's hand and on Tang Nian herself.

In particular, the enormous, dark green serpent had its gaze fixed on Tang Nian like two torches, refusing to even blink, staring at her motionless.

At this moment, Tang Nian suddenly felt a strange and indescribable feeling welling up inside her.

She vaguely sensed that deep within those cold and sharp vertical eyes, there seemed to be a faint but clearly visible light.

This glimmer of light was peculiar; it was neither anger nor fear, but rather closer to a deep sense of gratitude.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

However, Tang Nian was unable to accurately describe this strange feeling in words for a while.

The feeling was so subtle and abstract that she could only marvel at its wonder in her heart.

But in the next instant, Tang Nian immediately realized that this was not just her imagination.

In the blink of an eye, all the snakes present, whether they were huge adult snakes or small juvenile snakes, all bowed their proud bodies slowly, just like humans.

At the same time, a voice suddenly boomed in Tang Nian's mind, "The first test of Yama God has been perfectly completed. As a reward, Yama Power has been increased by 5%. The total Yama Power has now reached 5%."

After a brief pause, the voice sounded again, "The second test of Yama God: On the road to the Yellow Springs, absorb the aura of the Yellow Springs and transform it into your own power. When the conversion rate reaches 70%, you will pass the test. The time limit is two years. The reward is 5% Yama Power and an increase of 500 years in the age of all your soul rings."

Tang Nian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. This second test required her to rely on herself, but this meant that the Shrek Academy members would be safe.

Thinking of this, Tang Nian's face showed an extremely complicated expression, and she slowly turned her gaze to the group of snakes of the Netherworld Serpent Clan not far away.

The snakes were either coiled up or flicking their tongues, but not one of them showed the slightest sadness for the passing of their king, the Netherworld Serpent King.

This scene was truly astonishing.
