Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 491 - 474: Foreign Army

The little black panther met with an accident?

Shen Tang hurriedly threw on a coat and brought up the system map, searching thoroughly!

Finally, she found the little black panther that had broken its promise for the first time at a secluded alleyway.

A group of beastmen, cloaked in black robes, surrounded it.

It lay fainted on the ground, with a vial stuck in its neck, its eyes weakly narrowed to slits, limbs twitching without strength.

Just as the little black panther’s consciousness was about to fade, it suddenly spotted a familiar figure appearing in the distance, struggling violently, shaking its head desperately as if urging her to flee! Don’t come over!

The black-robed figures noticed something was wrong and quickly turned to look in Shen Tang’s direction.

The leading beastman coldly ordered, "Kill her, don’t let the secret get out!"

Shen Tang engaged in a struggle with the group of black-robed figures.

How could a female possibly be a match for these fierce beastmen?

The little black panther grew anxious and its eyes reddened, its body exuding wisps of black gas, exploding with a powerful force, crazily launching itself at the black-robed figures.

The opportunity arose!

After dealing with the black-robed figures, Shen Tang rushed over to embrace the out-of-control little black panther, quickly enveloping it with gentle, pure spiritual power.

Finally, the black gas slowly dispersed from its body.

Before Xiao Xiao Jin lost consciousness in her arms, it lightly called out,

"Divine Sister... Tangtang..."

Shen Tang’s heart trembled slightly, kissed its cheek gently, and said weakly,

"Ah Jin, quickly wake up."

...

Initially, Shen Tang wanted to stay in the spiritual illusion realm to investigate the origins of the black-robed figures. However, the realm soon collapsed into nothingness.

Her spirit body was forcibly expelled from the memory gates.

Shen Tang’s face turned grim; she had already helped Xiao Jin with spiritual reassurance, the spiritual illusion realm shouldn’t collapse so easily—only one possibility remains—

Xiao Jin has a missing segment of memory behind this.

Shen Tang did many things within the realm, forging a deep bond with the little black panther. Yet, the spiritual illusion realm wasn’t reality, and what happened in reality couldn’t be changed.

Xiao Jin was still taken by the black-robed figures when he was young, following which that memory turned blank.

Shen Tang couldn’t yet determine if the black-robed figures were connected to the experimental base, as cases of cub abduction occurred frequently in slums, it might as well be the work of traffickers.

Upon further examining other memories of Xiao Jin, she discovered something even more startling.

His memory returned to normal three days after disappearing.

Moreover, the little black panther didn’t resemble previous abducted and disappeared children, reappearing in the slum areas seamlessly, as if life continued unchanged, and it seemed not to remember those few days.

What’s more dubious...

Before Xiao Jin reached adulthood, every year on this day, there would be a small segment missing from his memory.

This couldn’t possibly be simple abduction, but more like some kind of premeditated plot!

...

After exiting the spiritual illusion realm, Shen Tang was still in the experimental base, where the frenzied black panther returned to normal. It fainted onto the ground, head resting in her lap.

The nearby experiment personnel were all stunned, how could this possibly be?!

Who is this female, to bring back a thoroughly crazed beastman! Even their medication failed!

Shen Tang gently caressed the scarred body of the black panther, her vision blurred as tears rolled hotly down her cheeks, trembling in anger!

She hastily used her healing ability to treat Xiao Jin’s wounds, all the while glaring at the experiment personnel with her scarlet eyes, her icy words like an edge squeezing from between her teeth, "Catch them!"

Xue Yinzhou didn’t wait for her command, dashing forth like a silver lightning.

Powerful superpowers surged forth.

The beastmen were no match for him, unable to even let out a scream, instantly engulfed and dissolved by the black fog!

Shen Tang hurriedly said, "Yinzhou, leave one alive!"

Xue Yinzhou’s actions paused, controlling the raging intent to kill within and retracting the devouring power, simultaneously wrapping the lead beastman’s body with his tail, crashing him heavily onto the ground.

For any beastman below the Tenth Rank, just one blow like this would leave them half dead!

The beastman, realizing defeat, chose to self-destruct on the spot!

"Boom!"

Blood and flesh exploded across the sky, beyond salvage.

"Female Master, beware!" Lu Xiao swiftly pulled Shen Tang to safety, looking at the chaos on the ground, the stench of blood in the air growing thicker and more rancid.

A person with lesser mental fortitude might have vomited on the spot.

Shen Tang’s complexion turned pale, after facing so many incidents and wars, she wasn’t the little girl from years ago, yet this scene still chilled her to the core.

Where did these laboratory beastmen come from? To cruelly harm themselves!

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

The polluted area is fraught with danger; every second here adds risk, and with the people rescued, it’s time to retreat.

"I need everyone to search every nook and cranny above the lab’s second lowest floor for anything suspicious, report everything to me!"

Shen Tang turned to look at Lu Xiao and Xue Yinzhou, "Ah Xiao, stay here to watch over Xiao Jin. Yinzhou, come with me to the last floor of the Honeycomb Laboratory."

Lu Xiao advised, "Female Master, be cautious. If anything happens, I will come to assist at the fastest possible pace."

"Mm."

Shen Tang and Xue Yinzhou hurried to the lab’s underground level, finding no trace of such strong monsters, assuming they’ve all been slain.

Subsequently, following the team to search the entire Honeycomb Laboratory, many encrypted files were found.

Shen Tang couldn’t understand them.

But instinctively felt they were important, wondering if Vine from Zero Point Research Institute could decipher them.

Shen Tang stored all experimental data in her space.

Upon leaving the laboratory, they found the factory surrounded by an unfamiliar army, layer upon layer, blocking passage with no gaps.

The army was dressed in dark gray uniforms, bearing a brown ripped triangular emblem on their chests, majestic and solemn like an invincible steel force, emanating a hostile aura.

Shen Tang was confused, "Which army is this? What are they trying to do?"

Lu Xiao frowned and said, "...It’s Rosenia’s army."

Shen Tang remembered, Rosenia was the Night Glow Empire’s neighbor, with a large border area isolated by a polluted zone. Since founding, the nations occasionally had friction, though relations weren’t great; there hadn’t been major wars for nearly a century, managing to coexist peacefully.

Why would they come over?

And so precisely? As if... deliberately here to intercept them!

Within the ranks, a beastman stood out, yelling, "What are Rosenia’s troops trying to do? To dare trespass the Night Glow Empire’s boundary line! Let us pass, or do you intend to wage war against our empire!"

The leading Rosenian general was a middle-aged male with a beard, seated atop a sturdy brown bear, sneering, "Your country has it backward, when the polluted zone erupted, it too encroached on our Rosenia territory, this isn’t your land!"

"Night Glow Empire sent spies covertly into our borders. This general has reason to suspect your ill intentions. Men, arrest all of them!"

With a wave of his hand, signaling the troops to once again advance, surrounding their dozen beastmen tightly!
