Chapter 65: Chapter 65 - 59: The Stinky Man Refuses to Save Me

The White Lizard notified the City Lord, who was far away in the polluted area, about the events in the city. The City Lord flew into a rage and immediately gave him the authority to mobilize the city’s army, leading hundreds of elite Beastmen out of the city to capture Shen Tang alive.

Shen Tang was ultimately just an ordinary female, her travel speed could not match the seasoned Beastmen of the battlefield. She hadn’t gone half a day before she was cornered by the pursuing forces and trapped in a siege, with no way out.

"You despicable and vicious female! How dare you hurt Yinyin, I’ll make you wish you were dead!" The White Lizard looked utterly disheveled, his eyes blood-red and sinisterly glaring at Shen Tang, without a trace of his usual cultured and noble demeanor.

Shi Yin had half her face wrapped in bandages, revealing only her twisted, bloodshot eyes glaring fiercely at Shen Tang with a desire to tear her apart. She screamed madly,

"Kill her! Kill this wench for me!"

Dozens of male beasts charged directly at her.

Shen Tang activated the Earth Escape Skill and disappeared without a trace.

Everyone was bewildered, halted in their tracks, and exchanged puzzled looks.

"How did this female suddenly disappear?"

A Beastman with earth abilities replied, "If I saw it right, she just used an Earth Element Ability, the Earth Escape Skill!"

"Impossible, how could a female awaken an Earth Element Ability? That’s simply unheard of!"

"But I also felt the fluctuation of Earth Element Abilities, it indeed came from that fat lady."

"Damn it, that fat lady is getting more and more bizarre! Not only has she changed so much these days, but she’s actually awakened an Earth Element Ability..."

Shi Yin fiercely dug her nails into her palm, jealousy almost driving her mad. This fat lady actually awakened an Earth Element Ability?

Why?!

Why do all good things fall on her?!

How is this ugly freak worthy?!

No, this must not be known to others. Shi Yin understood better than anyone that her current status, apart from being the City Lord’s daughter, was due to her powerful B-level Spiritual Power. If it became known that there was another female in the city who awakened a Second Superpower, it would surely steal her thunder.

This absolutely cannot get out. She must eliminate her to prevent future troubles, and kill that ugly freak!

"Why are you fools standing here like idiots? Hurry up and chase her! At any cost, kill her! Whoever kills Shen Tang, I will reward with fifty million redemption points!"

Everyone, fueled by the prospect of reward, pursued with renewed vigor.

The team included many Beastmen skilled in Earth Element abilities, with keen senses, following the scent left by Shen Tang. Their speed underground was even faster than hers.

[Warning to the Host, the pursuing forces are closing in, less than a kilometer away from the host!]

These bastards really are relentless!

Shen Tang’s heart nearly jumped to her throat. With how she had been humiliated and retaliated against, she could only imagine falling into Shi Yin’s hands; she would surely be skinned and tortured to death, devoured and drained!

At the moment the underground tunnel was breached by the Beastmen, a sharp beast claw suddenly lunged forward, nearly grabbing her ankle.

Shen Tang was so frightened she broke through the earth, not anticipating a slope ahead. Caught off guard, she tripped over a dry branch and rolled downhill.

She tumbled against rocks and dry branches, tearing her clothes. If not for the system-rewarded protective gear she wore, she might not have died at the hands of those Beastmen, but would likely have lost half her life rolling down the slope.

The slope was extremely steep, overgrown with shrubs and scattered rocks, occasionally echoing with the roars of Mutant Species.

Shen Tang laboriously climbed to her feet, praying earnestly that the Beastmen would not catch up; let them think she was dead.

Unfortunately, fate did not heed her wishes. Shi Yin, that madwoman, held her grudge deeply, determined to eradicate her, alive for questioning, dead for certainty.

Shen Tang could hear disordered footsteps drawing in from all directions, getting closer.

She drew a dagger from her waist, knowing that two fists could not overpower four hands. If caught, it would mean certain death!

"System, your host is on the brink of dying, hurry and figure something out!"

[Don’t panic, Host. I detect the male lead nearby, at three o’clock, less than half a kilometer away.]

Could it be Shen Li and Lu Xiao?

Shen Tang’s face lit up with joy. The route she fled was along the team’s path; she should soon meet them.

Hope blossomed in her heart, and she hurried towards the direction indicated by the system.

Meeting Shen Li and Lu Xiao would be ideal, as these two Beast Husbands were the most gentle, and had high affinity towards her, surely they wouldn’t leave her in peril.

The vain leopard and the face-enthusiast mermaid would work too. Having shared life-and-death experiences, albeit indifferent, they wouldn’t stand by and watch her die without help.

On a nearby hillside, towering ancient graves stretched upwards, a giant silver-white snake wound around the sturdy treetop, exuding a relaxed aura, as if resting with its eyes closed.

Shen Tang’s face stiffened, her mouth twitching. Why must it be him?

Hearing the commotion, the White Snake lazily lifted its eyelid to glance at Shen Tang, a faint surprise passing through its eyes, followed by a chilling gleam in its silver-purple snake pupils.

Seeing him, was this female somewhat disappointed?

A dark mass of pursuing soldiers appeared behind her.

Xue Yinzhou cast a casual glance; their ranks were all Fifth Rank and above, considered elite in the city, here to chase this fat lady?

Heh, this fat lady really is a magnet for trouble. They had barely left for a day, and she had caused another major incident? Xue Yinzhou’s eyes were full of mockery.

Shen Tang’s face was pale as she shouted loudly, "Those people are trying to kill me! Please save me!"

Xue Yinzhou looked at her coldly, unmoved.

White Lizard led the Beastmen in pursuit, pausing upon spotting the huge White Snake coiled in the trees. His expression grew serious, not expecting Xue Yinzhou to be nearby.

But the Beastmen in the city all knew Shen Tang and Xue Yinzhou did not get along. Judging by appearances, Xue Yinzhou seemed uninterested in saving this fat lady.

"Xue Yinzhou, this vile female harmed her kin. We need to take her back for questioning; we ask you not to interfere in official matters!" White Lizard restrained his fear and spoke.

Xue Yinzhou cast a nonchalant glance at them, his silver-purple snake eyes void of emotion, seemingly approving of their actions.

White Lizard’s face lit with joy, he ordered coldly, "Grab her!"

Shen Tang cursed inwardly, this rotten man truly refused to save her, despite her being his Female Master. Even if he detested her, he should not stand idly by and let her be killed by these people!

Shen Tang abandoned hope in this dead snake, realizing she had to save herself!

She shed her cumbersome outer garment, her hands transforming into beast claws, climbing up the tree.

Xue Yinzhou’s icy snake eyes swept over her figure enveloped in his Snake Shedding, his pupils abruptly constricted, even the snake tail leisurely swaying from the treetop stiffened suddenly.

Luckily, he wasn’t in human form now, otherwise Shen Tang would certainly see this dog man’s gloomy and strange expression, veins throbbing on his forehead. How dare this female wrap his Snake Shedding around herself!

Xue Yinzhou felt his Snake Shedding had been sullied.

Yet, the Snake Shedding draped over Shen Tang’s full and graceful body, its exaggerated curves accentuated by the taut Snake Shedding, emitting an indescribable explosive allure.

A deep gleam flickered in the silver-purple snake eyes.

The Beastmen transformed into beast forms to climb the tree, attempting to pull Shen Tang down. The thick snake tail easily swept down, instantly knocking the Beastmen to the ground, or crashing into the tree, splitting the ancient tree in two and spewing a mouthful of blood.

The thick snake tail wrapped around Shen Tang’s waist, tugging her to his side.
