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

Chapter 556: Chapter 524: The Trap

The entire sea area looked as if it had been overturned by ink, stained with a deep dark color.

In the surging undercurrent, countless pairs of scarlet eyes emerged, glaring at the direction of the divine hall, all of them were polluted mutant species.

Countless polluted creatures pressed in towards the divine hall like dark clouds over a city, surrounding it impenetrably.

From afar, the periphery of the divine hall was enveloped in a layer of golden protective shield, appearing like a radiant pearl in the deep sea. But at this moment, this pearl was completely swallowed by the darkness.

The mutant beasts attacked the divine hall crazily, yet could not break through the solid defenses, instead, dissipating when pierced by the rays emitted from the barrier.

Afterwards, these mutant species seemed to awake some advanced will, surprisingly beginning to attempt fusion.

More and more mutant species congregated into a massive collective entity.

Instantly, an ominous massive shadow pressed down from above the divine hall, nearly occupying the entire view, emanating a chilling oppressive force.

Some young servant beastmen within the divine hall saw the giant creature overhead and collapsed to the ground in terror, their faces full of horror.

”Damn, what the hell is this thing?”

”It’s terrifying!”

”Roar!”

The enormous creature formed by the fusion emitted a sharp, earsplitting screech, sound waves seeming capable of penetrating all energy and physical barriers.

Many weaker beastmen screamed and fell to the ground, clutching their heads in agony, their eyes and noses starting to bleed, some even fainted instantly.

Even more frightening, the giant beast relentlessly slammed its body against the divine hall, causing the entire structure to sway like an earthquake was occurring, with a faint trend of collapsing.

Shen Tang couldn’t help but hold her breath, her palms sweating in tension.

Originally, she thought the protective shield left by the High Priest would last longer, at least until he returned. But the mutant giant beast above and the crazily spreading pollution power clearly far exceeded expectations.

Only to hear a loud crash, the entire divine hall violently flipped over, as if it was about to turn upside down!

Shen Tang almost couldn’t hold her balance and almost fell.

Jia Lan stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace. He had transformed into a mermaid form, his figure taller and more slender. He held her, floating in the air, his fish tail slightly curved like a taut bowstring, securely protecting her.

The youth gazed at the collapsing building outside, frowned and said, ”Not good, the barrier has been breached.”

Shen Tang’s face also turned slightly pale, embracing his waist, uneasily looking towards the outside world.

The assault of pollutants was too fierce, even the High Priest’s barrier got breached.

In an instant, countless pollutants tried to surge through the opening!

The beastmen of the divine hall stepped forward to battle the pollutants, but were clearly outmatched, suffering heavy casualties.

Shen Tang activated the emergency healing ability, with a green array quickly expanding beneath her, covering the entire divine hall, healing the injured beastmen.

The beastmen fighting outside felt a warm stream flow into their bodies, their wounds instantly disappeared, their exhausted bodies regained strength to continue battling the polluted species.

But unfortunately, they were vastly outnumbered, with more and more pollutants continuously surging in from the surroundings.

Shen Tang scanned the system map, only to see countless red dots densely packed in the dark, all were eyes of those mutant beasts!

For a radius of ten miles around the divine hall was completely surrounded, unable to count how many mutant species there were.

It wouldn’t be long before the divine hall gets completely broken through. By then, no one could escape this calamity.

Jia Lan sensed her unease, lowered his head to lightly kiss her forehead, stroked her hair to comfort saying, ”Don’t be afraid, I am here.”

Shen Tang smiled lightly, ”If there’s fear, it should be you being afraid, remember I’m a tenth rank beastman, when real danger comes, it’ll be me protecting you.”

Jia Lan laughed, ”At times like this, it’s some form of comfort, right?”

At least he still had the Female Master to protect.

Shen Tang watched the commotion outside, puzzled, ”It’s very strange, the Priest Temple is near the Forgotten Sea, normally adept at dealing with polluted species and ought to be well-prepared... but now it seems that’s not the case.”

She stroked her chin, speculating, ”Indicates this large-scale mutant attack exceeded the divine hall’s expectation, even the High Priest wasn’t adequately prepared.”

Jia Lan nodded in agreement, ”The sudden assault of pollutants on the divine hall is indeed inconceivable, just like...”

Shen Tang picked up the conversation, looking up at him solemnly, ”Just like attracted by something, not like a naturally forming beast tide!”

Just as they spoke, more and more mutant species continuously gathered at the divine hall.

Recently, the pollution of the sea area spread widely, indeed forming multiple mutant beast tides, but if naturally forming beast tides, they wouldn’t attack a specific location as if possessed.

Furthermore, the Priest Temple possesses purification powers, counteracting pollution forces. Any creature should have the instinct to seek benefit and avoid harm, they should have been staying far away, never proactively attacking.
