Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 278: Chapter 270: Rebel Army Headquarters

Shen Tang’s vision went black as the space rift swallowed her instantly. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an unfamiliar place.

Surrounded by towering skyscrapers, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive and dark, reminiscent of—

She turned her head and crashed into the sinister face of Zaxxis, letting out a terrified scream as she propped herself up and retreated.

Zaxxis wore a look of regret, lamenting the loss of such beauty, but this time, she must die!

A dark red blade suddenly formed in his palm, thrusting toward Shen Tang’s heart.

A full-force strike at the Peak of Ninth Rank, unstoppable by anyone!

At the critical moment, a shadow burst from the closing space rift, snatching the female and flashing away.

The speed was so fast that no one present could react.

Zaxxis’ motion remained frozen in midair, the female on the ground instantaneously vanished.

What the hell just dashed past?

Face filled with shock, Zaxxis, now enraged and humiliated, gritted his teeth and bellowed,

”Chase them down for me!”

The mismatched buildings and trees swept past like shadows, leaving almost no trace behind. Shen Tang clung tightly to the Black Panther speeding beneath her, full of astonishment, ”Xiao...Xiao Jin?”

She initially thought she was surely facing death, never expecting Xiao Jin to follow. How did he get into the space rift?

Shen Tang couldn’t see the surrounding lights; her mind was in a whirl. Leopard Beasts were known for their speed, but could never be this fast... This felt like an in-game flash or teleportation?

”When did you awaken this superpower?” Shen Tang’s voice was shredded by the fierce wind.

Xiao Jin heard her clearly, shook his head, and said, ”I don’t know either. Just now when I saw you were about to be dragged away by that damn lizard, I panicked, desperately yelling in my head that I wanted to save you! Save you! Then, a tremendous, unprecedented power suddenly erupted, and I flashed over, and then, I was here.”

Besides shock, Shen Tang felt more relief in her heart.

No matter how Xiao Jin awakened it, it’s a good thing. It might help them both leave this godforsaken place.

But unfortunately, reality is always harsher than imagined; Xiao Jin’s speed soon slowed, reverting to normal running speed.

Shen Tang anxiously asked, ”Can you continue to flash?”

Xiao Jin was equally anxious, trying to stimulate that immense power within him again, but unfortunately, he couldn’t control it.

The only time it happened was when she was in crisis; that power suddenly burst forth.

Xiao Jin could feel that power depleting, unusable anymore.

He said dejectedly, ”I can’t use it.”

Shen Tang was lost in complex thoughts. She would often look through system files to understand more about the world than in the original book and knew that few beastmen could awaken a second superpower.

She herself didn’t count, being a cheater with the system.

Ordinary beastmen rarely awaken a second superpower; it’s almost ”0” probability.

Or this superpower might be a genetic bloodline ability.

But as far as she knew, Xiao Jin was just an orphan from the slums, who climbed to the position of Empire Vice Admiral through sheer brute strength from life-and-death battles, aside from having decent talent, nothing else special.

Yet, it couldn’t be ruled out; maybe Xiao Jin truly had exceptional talent, and accidentally awakened a second superpower.

But at the moment, it seemed his level wasn’t high enough, his second superpower’s awakening incomplete, only occasionally erupting under desperate circumstances.

Shen Tang took a deep breath, suppressing her unease and urgency, speaking in a deep tone, ”Later, listen to me, run in the direction I say!”

”Okay!” Xiao Jin nodded and agreed. He didn’t know Shen Tang’s secret but knew listening to her wouldn’t go wrong.

Shen Tang quickly opened the system map to check the surroundings.

Just as she suspected.

They were at the rebel army’s base.

Information about the rebel army’s base was shrouded in mystery and had never been publicly available.

Being teleported here at once, it was uncertain whether it was a blessing or a curse.

When Shen Tang checked again, the distance from the rebel army’s base to the destination shocked her even more.

It was over ten thousand kilometers.

So far away?!

The system explained, ”Host, don’t forget Zaxxis is a Space Beastman, and when Space Beastmen reach a high level, they awaken a special skill called space marking.”

”He directly marked the base as a space teleportation point, able to instantly transport the host here.”

That damned lizard was indeed extraordinary and troublesome!

”Space marking... can you also scan and mark this place?” Shen Tang asked the system.

Hopefully, the two of them would escape alive this time.

After leaving, marking the rebel base on a map would provide valuable military intelligence!

”Yes.”

The system map can scan all information within a radius of thirty miles. During Xiao Jin’s furious sprint with Shen Tang, it almost scanned this area completely.

Soon, the system discovered a large number of red dots, urgently warning, ”Host, there’s a large number of pursuers behind you... No, you’re surrounded on all sides, you’re trapped!”

Tens of thousands of rebel troops swarmed in, encircling the two tightly.

Xiao Jin, cloaked in a faint golden lightning, crouched with four paws on the ground, letting out angry roars as overwhelming thunder and lightning surged forth.

As the thunder collided with flesh and blood, it erupted with countless thunderous explosions like fireworks, blasting the approaching rebel forces away.

Some beastmen died instantly, becoming charred corpses.

Simultaneously, Shen Tang quickly unleashed her mighty Earth Element Ability, clearing large swathes of pursuers, ensnaring the enemies.

The two joined forces to carve out a way of life.

They scurried towards the city gate.

The rebel soldiers at the gate received early orders and quickly sealed it while launching two rows of cannons, firing at the two.

Countless bombs fell like rain. Even High-level Beastmen couldn’t survive the absolute power of shelling!

Zaxxis rushed over, only to see the massive ruins and traces left by bombardment, not spotting any bodies.

His expression changed suddenly, recalling the hidden corridors of the Imperial City, where rebel soldiers missed many townsfolk.

”Trying the same old tricks, then be buried underground forever!” Zaxxis smirked wickedly, sealing the space at once, unleashing his formidable superpower and shattering the ground along with the shelling!

Rumble—

The earth thundered and shook, large sections collapsing underground.

Shen Tang and Xiao Jin avoided their burial fate, forced to emerge from underground.

Luckily, they successfully exited the city gate.

Xiao Jin staked his life, carrying Shen Tang forward in a mad sprint.

Completely ignoring his injured body.

In the relentless race, Xiao Jin’s mouth was full of iron taste, eyes bloodshot, spitting out large amounts of blood, yet his speed increased rapidly, almost becoming a fleeting shadow.

But it was far from enough.

This was enemy territory.

The Heaven and Earth Net, inescapable.

The two were surrounded by one hundred thousand pursuers, layer upon unbreakable layer.

This was the force used initially for sieging!

Yet it was for exterminating two beastmen.

Today, not even an immortal could escape!
