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

Chapter 851: Chapter 668: He’s from the Nine-tailed Fox Clan!? (Part 3)

The two of them quickly walked toward him, moving together to an inconspicuous corner.

”Young Master Ji, shall we act now?” one of the tall and skinny Fox Beasts asked in a low voice.

Even before the competition, Ji Qing had secretly bribed these two contestants.

They both came from ordinary mid-level backgrounds, not top-tier in strength, and clearly had no hope of winning. They only intended to use this opportunity to profit, thus they readily agreed to collaborate and understood that Ji Qing wanted to target Shen Li in the competition.

Ji Qing gave a cold smile, ”That’s right, act now and seize the Red Fox’s points.”

He lowered his voice further, ”If necessary, go straight for the kill! You know what to do...”

Anyone here in the competition could easily crush the so-called top scorers on the point board!

These two Beastmen were especially skilled in assassination and traps, with one of them also proficient in Beast Control.

Ji Qing personally brought in these two experts to deal with that lowly folk, which could be considered him ”showing respect,” letting him die a worthy death!

”Rest assured, Young Master Ji, we will definitely accomplish the task you assigned us. But, regarding the elders...” the other Beastman hesitated slightly.

”What are you afraid of? This is the battlefield, and ’accidents’ in the heat of battle are nothing unusual... Besides, it’s just a civilian Red Fox that would be killed, no one would care,” Ji Qing sneered.

All participants in the competition were top geniuses from the clan. Truly losing one on the field would be a great loss for the clan, so the trials aimed at minimizing casualties.

However, if an unconnected Red Fox died, who would pursue it?

Blame the lowly folk for not knowing their place and having the audacity to participate in the trial, making it deserving to leave their life behind.

Ji Qing was also not worried this would affect his reputation. Although their actions would be broadcast through the light screen, allowing all spectators to see, they couldn’t hear all the dialogues in real time due to severe energy interference inside, making some details easy to overlook.

This gave him the advantage to act.

So the three of them joined forces, left the center of the field, quickly found Shen Li’s location, and set up a trap at a selected spot.

They set up hidden mechanisms nearby, with unsuspecting attacks lying in wait. Though these would not outright kill a Beastman of the same tier on the spot, they were layered with many Imprisonment Runes. Once triggered, they would greatly restrict movement, and even suppress strength.

Next, they only needed to lure Shen Li into the trap, and he would be at their mercy.

...

Shen Li had just broken free from the Illusion Realm, pausing his steps, looking in a particular direction with a meaningful smile on his face.

The small puppet on his shoulder also sensed something, gently tugging his hair and warning, ”Li, I feel quite a few strange auras nearby, be careful.”

Shen Li extended his slender fingers, gently tapping her little head, and tucked her into his chest pocket, ”Don’t be afraid, hide well, and don’t get blown away later.”

Soon, danger loomed.

Dozens of Overlord Level Mutant Species suddenly appeared, launching a fierce attack on him!

The audience witnessing the scene became overwhelmed with excitement once more.

”Oh my god, how did so many Overlord Level Mutant Species suddenly appear!”

It should be known that the strength of Lord-level Mutant Species equaled that of Primordial Beast Tier powerhouses, and they were massive, with some even stronger than Beastmen of the same tier.

The clan elders, upon seeing the scene, had contemplating looks in their eyes. When setting up the Illusion Realm, they typically made Lord-level Mutant Species the final bosses of an area, requiring contestants to clear weaker targets before facing the strongest ones.

These Overlord Level Mutant Species should have appeared separately and were almost impossible to group together.

It’s highly likely... they were deliberately gathered.

Shen Li was exhausted by the Mutant Beasts, his movements gradually becoming flustered and slow, forcing him into a certain area.

When a Rhino-like Mutant Species the size of a hill lunged close, he dodged hastily, stepping into the trap!

Immediately, lights emerged around him, forming an invisible barrier that trapped him within.

Shen Li’s expression changed, feeling as though his power was largely sealed, even his movements became sluggish.

At that moment, Ji Qing and the other two ”conveniently” appeared nearby, appearing as though they too were attacked by the Mutant Beasts and quickly engaged them in battle.

But upon closer inspection, one could see that most of their attacks were feigned, with the majority almost hitting Shen Li trapped inside the trap.

With his strength suppressed within the trap, Shen Li hurriedly dodged, appearing in a sorry state.

”You did that on purpose, right?”

Ji Qing smiled guiltily, ”Oh dear, I’m sorry, it was an accidental hit.”

Despite his words, the trio’s offense grew increasingly ferocious.

The scene was chaotic, with the light screen filled with dazzling energy, collapsing debris, and soaring dust clouds, making it almost impossible to see what was happening inside.
