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

Chapter 896: Chapter 699: Where Did This Brat Come From!

At this moment, neither of the ”mother-daughter” pair noticed—

A silver necklace hung around Xue Yinzhou’s neck, with a purple gemstone ring shaped like a snake biting its own tail, faintly glowing.

This was a gift from Shen Tang to Xue Yinzhou before her departure.

Now her superpower has fully recovered, and this purple gemstone was sculpted by her own hands and infused with space power into a precious item.

The necklace contains her space power, creating a small space of about thirty square meters. It can store items, and even living people can enter.

Indeed, Shen Tang was actually always with them.

She was hiding in the necklace, silently observing the situation.

Now, she finally sees the entity within Xue Yansi being drawn out.

She can finally see its true form clearly!

Shen Tang quietly extends her spiritual power into his body, seeing clearly this time, Xue Yinzhou’s body is almost completely invaded by those extremely fine, root-like things.

The roots have penetrated his limbs, bones, organs.

If it were the initial stage, Shen Tang might have been able to clear them, but now these things have almost merged with Xue Yinzhou’s body, even to the point of being life-or-death together. Forcibly cutting them off would cause serious harm to him.

And the source of these networks, in his abdomen, an irregularly shaped round object, like a tumor, slightly pulsates as if alive.

Damn, during previous inspections she completely missed this thing!

It seems this entity was able to hide from her probes until truly exposed; only then did she realize Xue Yinzhou’s body was severely compromised, almost ”incurable”!

No wonder he’s been unable to recover his memory; continuing this way, he might not even own his life.

She arrived too late.

Shen Tang’s expression suddenly became difficult, the situation far more complicated than she imagined, but a trace of suspicion arose in her heart.

Because the aura of this entity made her feel eerily familiar, reminding her of... Fu Teng?

Alas, after that guy was killed by Necro, who knows if he’s revived now.

But this aura indeed resembles him.

She once suspected, where exactly does a thing like Fu Teng, neither beast nor non-beast, come from? She asked him before, but even Fu Teng himself was unclear, only saying he grew roots in the Polluted Land upon gaining consciousness.

Now Shen Tang suspects he’s related to the forces behind this middle-aged female.

Shen Tang suspects this middle-aged female is a member of the Parasite Clan.

Though she had never set foot on the Parasite Clan’s territory, after being here so long, she’s heard some tales from there.

It’s a very mysterious and special place, unlike ordinary beastmen races; it’s almost ruled by Plant Beastmen. Tentatively let’s call them ”beastmen,” anyway those beastmen have plant bodies and are called the Parasite Clan.

Outside their ruling area, the Polluted Land is entirely filled with mutated plants.

It’s said that the environment there is treacherous and harsh, more dangerous than ordinary polluted areas, so almost no foreign beastman dares to enter, and few have seen the true face of the Parasite Clan, making the legends increasingly mysterious and enigmatic.

But why would the Parasite Clan target Xue Yinzhou?

Moreover, Shen Tang vaguely feels, although this middle-aged female appears to be on the same side as the Ghost Snake Clan Family Head Xue Xiaoyuan, their objectives don’t seem to align.

The middle-aged female mentioned wanting to ”assimilate” Xue Yinzhou.

Many Parasite Clan rumors flickered through Shen Tang’s mind.

It’s said their power is immensely unpredictable, and the clan is actually divided into many factions, enabling such rapid territorial expansion.

Despite not being an ancient beast clan, their controlled territory size nearly rivals the ancient clans.

If solely reliant on the Parasite Clan’s own reproduction, it would be difficult to form such a complex and large clan...

Unless, besides reproducing themselves, there might be another proliferation strategy.

An idea flashed through Shen Tang’s mind—

That is assimilating beastmen from other races.

Only this way, the Parasite Clan’s force can rapidly expand and grow larger.

This ability overlaps with Fu Teng from back in the days, making her more confident about her guess.

Seems like Fu Teng should indeed be from the Parasite Clan, just sent to the Beast World Continent for some reason.

That’s rather pitiful.

Of course, now’s not the time to think about this.

If true, the situation becomes even more complex.

Fu Teng’s own power was already strong; if not suppressed by Necro, they probably wouldn’t have been able to defeat him at that time.

And the strength of this middle-aged female before them is evidently much stronger than Fu Teng back then!

Understand that no matter how Fu Teng transformed his form, he couldn’t shake off that conspicuous green hair, the color of his body. Later, Mi Li, whom he parasitized, also had some changes.

Yet, this middle-aged female’s transformed form looks indistinguishable from ordinary beastmen females.

Luo Ying, that self-assured girl, has most likely been parasitized by her and unknowingly became a pawn on her board. Even so, she shows no anomalies, more proof of the middle-aged female’s superb transformation capability.

Her strength is undoubtedly formidable!

The middle-aged female looked at Xue Yinzhou lying on the ground. Despite his struggles to resist the power within, it was useless; even his Devouring Power couldn’t help.

From her position, the middle-aged female looked down at him and spoke calmly, ”If your Bone of Devouring had been perfected, perhaps my Tumor Gu wouldn’t trap you... but unfortunately, you’re still lacking.”

”Don’t struggle, it’s useless. We’ve been laying plans for so long; you can’t escape.”

Though her voice was certain, a faint trace of dread flickered in her eyes.

The Tumor Gu remains one final watering short of perfection.

Xue Yansi holds great importance for their clan; everything must be flawless.

The middle-aged female looked at Luo Ying beside her, extending a hand, ”Bring out the item.”

Luo Ying quickly produced a potion and handed it over.

As soon as Xue Yansi saw the potion, his purple snake eyes contracted sharply; previously, when he was unaware of the truth, Luo Ying had given him this potion several times.

Back then, trusting her, he took it without suspicion.

Just as Shen Tang said, he was constantly being calculated against.

The middle-aged female held the potion, stepped to his side, and calmly grabbed his chin, saying, ”Drink it.”

As long as he drinks this final potion, it’s complete! They’ll gain full control of this Ghost Snake!

However, just as the middle-aged female tried to force the potion down Xue Yinzhou’s mouth, an attack suddenly shot out, with a bang, scattering the potion in her hand.

Luo Ying screamed in shock at this sudden situation, ”Ah! What’s happening?”

The middle-aged female was caught off guard and stepped back, no longer able to maintain her calm, with a few sinister expressions flashing, ”Who? Who’s ruining my plan!”

Shen Tang emerged directly from the space.

She lifted Xue Yinzhou’s arm onto her shoulder, swept open a space rift, and unexpectedly intended to take him away.

Alarm and anger filled the middle-aged female’s eyes: Where did this girl emerge from? Even she hadn’t noticed!

But wanting to take away this Ghost Snake? Not a chance!
