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

Chapter 998: Chapter 744: Make That Coward Come Out and Face Me

Lu Xiao’s mood was icy and heavy. Based on past experience, once he weathered a wave of Return Nest, at least it wouldn’t relapse again in the short term. He never thought it would flare up again so soon.

It seemed the interval between subsequent Return Nest outbreaks was getting shorter and shorter, even beyond what he had imagined.

This was an even worse sign.

He had wanted to help Shen Tang carry out her plan, but now he might not even be able to hold on for that long.

Shen Tang felt his breathing grow heavier and instantly grew anxious. Nothing mattered more than his body. ”Ah Xiao, if you really can’t take it, let’s pull out first—”

A gigantic Mutant Beast suddenly dove down from above the clouds.

Shen Tang’s body reacted faster than her brain. In an instant, an ice wall condensed above the two of them.

The Sea Beast slammed hard into the ice wall. Ice shards flew, and countless cracks spread across the entire wall.

Lu Xiao seized that opening and suddenly accelerated, bursting out of the encirclement.

But those Sea Beasts had no intention of giving up. They pursued madly from behind, their speed not slowing in the slightest.

Even worse, there were more dark shapes rapidly rising from beneath the sea surface, coming up in an endless stream.

Shen Tang glanced back and felt a chill in her heart.

This wasn’t an Ordinary encirclement.

These Sea Beasts were waiting for them.

Someone knew they would come.

Someone had laid everything out in advance, just waiting for them to step into this sea area.

”All these Mutated Sea Beasts are coming straight for us,” she said in a low voice. ”This scene is very similar to what happened back in Sea Country. Liu Ye really did discover us long ago, and only he has the power to control these Mutated Sea Beasts.”

Lu Xiao forced his voice back toward its usual calm. ”Hold on to me. We leave here first.”

”Okay.”

The Return Nest explosion had been too sudden, cutting off their original plan. Right now, finding a safe place to land was the wisest choice.

Lu Xiao sped up, trying hard to shake off those ruthless Mutant Beasts, but his body was trembling more and more violently, his breathing harsh to a frightening degree.

Shen Tang could feel the temperature of his body soaring, scaldingly hot.

She was anxious to the extreme. She unleashed all her superpowers, desperately slaughtering the Mutant Beasts chasing behind them.

But the number of those Mutated Sea Beasts kept increasing, and their pursuit grew more and more frenzied, as if they had no concept of fear.

They rammed their bodies against the ocean cliffs on the sea, sending large chunks of rock tumbling down toward Lu Xiao, who was flying, staggering, through the gale and storm. Many Mutant Feathered Beasts also charged over madly, tangling with the two of them, trying to tear into Lu Xiao with fangs and claws. Even when their bodies were sliced in half by Wind Blades, the front halves still lunged forward desperately.

But with Shen Tang there, these Mutant Beasts ultimately couldn’t succeed. Countless spiritual power blades and Ice Blades shot out.

Crash—

The mangled bodies of those flying Sea Beasts fell from the sky like chunks of black shadow.

And on the surface of the water, countless torn limbs and broken bodies of Mutated Sea Beasts floated, the entire stretch of sea almost stained a deep red.

The sea surface finally began to calm down.

Before Shen Tang could exhale in relief, the sea suddenly heaved up towering waves!

A massive vortex rapidly formed on the sea surface, hundreds of meters in diameter. The bottomless black pit seemed to lead straight into Hell.

A terrifying suction poured out from the vortex, twisting the air around it.

Those Sea Beasts that had been chasing madly were instantly swept into the vortex, vanishing before they could even struggle.

And Lu Xiao and Shen Tang were also within the range of that suction.

Not good!

Lu Xiao clenched his jaw, beating his wings with all his might, trying to break free of that pull.

But the Return Nest flare-up made his strength plummet. His wings were moving slower and weaker.

”Ah Xiao!” Shen Tang clung tightly to his neck, her voice shaking.

Lu Xiao tried to comfort her. ”Don’t be afraid, I’ll get you out of here.”

But Shen Tang saw that one of his wings had already twisted into a warped arc. Many feathers had fallen off that area. If this continued, his wings might tear open altogether.

She was frantic and heartsick. She tried to use her Space Ability, but the Space here seemed to be under the control of some strange energy field. Her Space Ability simply wouldn’t open.

Or more precisely, it was as if once Space was opened, another force forcibly slammed it shut again, making it impossible to use properly!

They were about to be sucked into the vortex.
