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

Chapter 731: Chapter 623: Arrival at the Purification Zone (Part 3)

Qin Han and the others weren’t in good shape either. They’d already been at a disadvantage, and now it had suddenly turned into six against dozens, the outcome was nearly decided.

Through the System map, Shen Tang saw this scene and her heart leapt to her throat.

The map clearly showed that the Tiger Beast possessed Dual Superpower, and its Second Superpower was actually the rare Illusion Technique.

If this went on, Qin Han and the others losing points would be the least of it; they might not even be able to keep their lives.

Shen Tang hurried over and secretly took out a golden-blue feather from her Space.

At the center of the feather was a golden pattern like an eye, exuding a mysterious aura; it was Tian Xi’s feather.

Tian Xi’s ”Eye of Peeping” could ignore disguises and see through the truth; it was the perfect counter to Hu Batian’s Illusion Technique superpower!

In the midst of battle, Hu Batian was still smug, thinking the victory was his, when a strange aura suddenly pressed down. The mist in the air instantly dispersed.

The members of the Evil Tiger Team panicked, not knowing what had happened.

Qin Han and the others also sensed this sudden aura, but had no time to think about it, because all of Hu Batian’s illusions had vanished, leaving only his real body.

Hu Batian was dumbfounded; Qin Han seized the chance to launch a counterattack, striking directly at his vital point.

”Pfft!” Hu Batian spat blood and was severely injured, his combat strength plummeting.

The other members of the Evil Tiger Team weren’t weak, but they relied more on team tactics. With Hu Batian, their backbone, taken down, their formation fell into chaos.

Qin Han and the others pressed the advantage. After yet another life-and-death battle, they actually won with few against many, successfully turning the tables!

Every Beastman who survived in the Wasteland Zone understood that mercy toward the enemy was cruelty toward oneself. If you didn’t root them out completely, you’d definitely face revenge later.

Qin Han pulled out the blade lodged in Hu Batian’s chest; blood splattered across his face.

He wiped it off and heard footsteps behind him. Looking back, he asked, ”What are you doing here?”

Bai Lei and the others also looked in surprise at the approaching Shen Tang.

Shen Tang explained, ”I heard fighting and guessed it might be you, so I came to take a look. Didn’t expect you really were in trouble! Are you all right?”

”We’re fine, just some minor injuries. A lot easier than dealing with those ugly things.” Zhai Chen tossed Du En a bottle of Recovery Potion, then twisted one open himself and gulped it down. His heart ached—one bottle of High-level Recovery Potion was worth tens of thousands of points!

Qin Han’s gaze fell on Shen Tang, and a strange feeling stirred in his heart.

Her timing was too perfect.

It was as if the moment she arrived, Hu Batian’s Illusion Technique had failed.

But he was very sure Shen Tang didn’t have a superpower. Besides, even if she did, there was no reason for her to hide it. Maybe it was just his imagination.

Ker removed the wristbands from Hu Batian and the others and scanned them, successfully acquiring the points.

Yuna said excitedly, ”Awesome! We’ve finally saved up sixty million points; we can exchange them for residency in the Purification Zone!”

As soon as she said this, everyone was thrilled and had no attention left for anything else.

Watching Bai Lei and the others’ joy, Shen Tang felt even more unsettled.

Going to the Purification Zone required such a sky-high amount of points that an Ordinary Beastman could never earn it in a lifetime. This was clearly forcing them to take desperate risks and sell their lives to survive.

By comparison, the points earned from doing missions and hunting Mutant Beasts were too little. Qin Han and the others had worked hard for years and still hadn’t saved enough; they only succeeded in the end by hunting down other teams.

The Divine Hall allowed points to be transferred through plundering; the subtext was condoning, even encouraging, them to slaughter each other.

This was practically like raising Gu, cultivating the strongest ”Gu King.”

...

Half a month later.

The group finally arrived at the legendary Purification Zone.

As soon as they entered this region, those hideous Mutant Species seemed to vanish all at once. White clouds floated in a blue sky, no longer the gray, sunless look of the Wasteland Zone. Greenery flourished all around, the air was fresh, as if it were another world—this place was like paradise.

It was Qin Han and the others’ first time here as well, and their eyes were dazed.

They had heard wonderful rumors about the Purification Zone since childhood, but only upon truly stepping into it did they realize how vast the gap between the lives of the bottom and the top really was.

The team moved on, gradually taking in the full view of the city.

Outside the city, in addition to the walls, there was also an enormous invisible, transparent barrier that covered the entire city, not only blocking Mutant Species from invading but also acting like an insurmountable wall, shutting Ordinary Beastmen out.

The buildings inside the city were magnificent and strange, towering into the clouds. At the top, a transparent dome spread out, covering the whole city. According to Qin Han, the dome was equipped with air purification and water filtration systems that kept this Purification City running.

Looking at all of this, Shen Tang couldn’t help but laugh.

A perfect paradise indeed.

A perfect... cage.

At the city gate, Beastmen were checking the identities of those passing through and letting them in after verification.

The points Qin Han and the others had plundered this time were sufficient, and there just happened to be one extra slot. Shen Tang later reissued her identity and joined the team as a member.

She had originally worried that her ”no-ID” status would be exposed, but later realized she had overthought it—there were too many abandoned civilian children in the Wasteland Zone; many only got their documents sorted out when they reached adulthood.

Standing before the city gate, Shen Tang was suddenly drawn to the totem at the top of the gate.
