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

Chapter 483: Chapter 466: Beast Husband Missing in Action

The doctor let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterward, his body rapidly contorted and swelled.

Especially his belly, which ballooned quickly like a balloon, while a mass of tentacle-shaped rotten flesh crawled out from the deeply recessed eyes, nose, mouth, and ears of the doctor.

”Bang!”

His skin couldn’t withstand the pressure, exploding like a balloon into countless fragments of flesh and blood.

Xue Yinzhou enveloped himself in a vast black fog, which condensed into a barrier, blocking the scattered remnants of flesh to prevent further contamination.

At the site of the doctor’s explosion, an alien creature composed of irregular lumps of flesh lay sprawling on the ground. Its body extended a dozen tentacles toward the nearest Beastman, sticking to him like putty.

In just a moment, it seemed to liquify like a viscous fluid, engulfing the Beastman’s body, and its size grew twice as large!

The speed of this devouring was too fast, even Xue Yinzhou and Xiao Jin couldn’t stop it in time, or rather, they couldn’t stop it even if they wanted to. The moment the Beastman was parasitized by this thing, there was no saving him.

Xiao Jin shouted sternly, ”If you don’t want to die, retreat now! Beyond five kilometers!”

The Beastmen present were also terrified by this monster, and hearing this angry shout, they quickly responded, showing fear on their faces, some trembling in fear.

Anyone with eyes could tell, they were no match for this monster, rushing in blindly was a dead end!

The Beastmen retreated swiftly and orderly, clearing a wide-open battleground for Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou to fight the monster.

The monster exuded a strong Tenth Rank superpower, further complicated by its ability to parasitize Beastmen, making it quite tricky; even Beastmen of the same rank weren’t necessarily its match!

Fortunately, Xue Yinzhou and Xiao Jin rarely collaborated but succeeded in killing the monster.

”Look, what is this?” Xiao Jin picked up a Crystal Core from the ground, left behind by the monster after its death.

Xue Yinzhou came over to take a look and frowned as well.

A single Crystal Core wasn’t strange by itself, but inside the core were other devices, resembling a kind of special alloy, artificially created—and definitely not naturally formed.

Upon closer inspection, the silver-gray device had engravings, shaped like a double helix... somewhat resembling a gene chain?

Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou exchanged glances, the same absurd thought flashing through their minds simultaneously.

This was a high-level polluted mutant species that had been artificially created!

Previously, they had always believed the expansion of polluted areas was due to the deterioration of world energy, leading to environmental degradation and the subsequent mutation of these pollutant species.

It wasn’t just them; this was a consensus throughout the entire Beast World!

The origin and expansion of the polluted areas remained a mystery, without any evidence to back it up, attributed to this assumption. But after years of governance, not only did the polluted areas not show signs of diminishing, they were becoming increasingly severe.

It turned out they had always been wrong about the truth.

Things were more complicated than they had imagined!

Behind this incident, it’s very likely that there’s human manipulation involved!

Who did it?

Even Xue Yinzhou couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread, as such facts were too crazy. Finding out the truth as soon as possible was imperative, otherwise, Shen Tang and the Night Glow Empire would inevitably become victims.

The two left the army to continue stationing at the border, and more than a year later, they once again entered the polluted land to investigate.

During the period when Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou were exiled in the polluted areas with Shen Tang, they mostly stayed in shelters and nearby pollution zones, where the level of pollutants wasn’t too high.

They had not ventured deeper into the innermost parts of the polluted lands, where even more powerful polluted species might be lurking!

The two continued to fight against any obstacle in their way resolutely.

After three days and three nights.

They arrived at a pollution zone rated as S-level.

Encountering numbers of high-level polluted species far beyond external expectations.

They hunted three Tenth Rank mutant species along the way.

It’s unimaginable how many powerful monsters lay hidden within the polluted lands.

As expected, the Crystal Cores found in these three mutant species also had these mysterious double-helix devices implanted, indicating they too were artificially bred monsters.

The two followed the clues and continued searching inward.

In a secluded forest, they successfully found their destination.

Both were shocked.

What is this?

...

After pestering Shen Tang for a few days, Shen Li then went to handle government affairs. He was busy during the day and only came over to accompany her in the evening.

Shen Tang calculated that her estrus period would end in three to five days, so she decided to stay a few more days. Meanwhile, she took out the few pieces of jade material she had purchased from her space and, after picking and choosing for a while, played with a vividly sculpted small cat jade carving, planning to first carve a small fox as a gift for Shen Li.

No need for more words, she went straight to work!

Shen Tang started studying the art of carving.

It seemed quite simple, but when she actually started, she realized how difficult it was!

No wonder Shen Li used up an entire raw stone to create a decent product.

She looked at the several crooked failures in her hand and the even more stones that broke midway, feeling heartache!

[Host, I have a ”Master Carver” skill book here; it only costs 10 points. Would you like to buy a copy?]

Shen Tang’s eyes lit up, ”Buy it!”

[Okay, account balance -10 points, skill book has been issued according to the host’s requirements!]

As a stream of light entered her mind, Shen Tang suddenly felt much more adept, and the little fox in her hand gradually took shape.

Suddenly.

She received messages from Jia Lan and Lu Xiao almost simultaneously—

[Tangtang, something’s wrong, Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou have disappeared.]

What?!

Shen Tang was shocked, immediately neglecting everything else, she ordered the system to teleport her back at once.

When Shen Li returned from the council hall, he found that Shen Tang had left.

He walked to the stone table in the courtyard, picked up the unfinished small fox jade carving, and furrowed his brow slightly.

She hadn’t even left a message, it seemed she left in a hurry.

What happened over there?

...

”How could Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou disappear?” Shen Tang immediately asked anxiously upon returning.

Lu Xiao comforted, ”Female Master, please calm down, let me explain it to you clearly.”

In recent days, several dozen stationed soldiers have disappeared at the Southwest Border, including three soldiers from Greenfield City.

City Lord Shi Ye of Greenfield City was the first senior official to learn of this matter and took it very seriously. Normally, the disappearance of Beastmen at the border wasn’t too unusual, but when he sent out troops to search for the missing people, they found nothing, and instead lost quite a few more, making him realize that this matter was probably not simple.

The number of missing Beastmen wasn’t large, and the scale of the matter wasn’t significant enough to be directly reported to Shen Tang, but it was first reported to the military.

When Lu Xiao learned of this, he immediately sent Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou with the army to investigate. Given their strength, the matter shouldn’t have been difficult.

The initial investigation process was also normal.

But just now, the Light Computers of both suddenly went offline!
