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

Chapter 1054: Chapter 768: Familiar Friends

Shen Tang quietly extended her spiritual power towards the cave entrance.

Not far away, as expected, a team was heading this way.

She furrowed her brow slightly; the aura of this group was not weak at all, they were all at the Primordial Beast Tier. This configuration definitely didn’t look like ordinary Beastmen passing by by chance.

But when her spiritual power swept over a white silhouette in the team, her breath suddenly hitched, and her pupils slightly shook.

It was a young female wearing a grayish-white battle suit, looking about her age.

Short white hair, delicate and correct features, tall and graceful figure, with a long-lost familiar feeling between the brows.

Unexpectedly, she would encounter her here.

Shen Tang was momentarily dazed, recalling something from a long time ago.

That was half a year ago when she first came to Eris Star, isolated and helpless, knowing nothing about this foreign world.

She had stayed with a local hunting team for a while, and it was through them that she slowly found her footing here, learning many things.

The hunting captain was a Lion Clan Beastman named Qin Han, and the person she got along with the best in the team was a female named Bai Lei, who took good care of her at the time.

And this white-clad female before her, wasn’t she Bai Lei whom she hadn’t seen for nearly half a year?

She had changed quite a bit since then, her gaze lost some softness, appearing sharper, and her battle armor was severely worn, bearing marks of prolonged combat.

It seems she has experienced a lot in the past six months.

But Shen Tang wouldn’t mistake her; she was Bai Lei!

Shen Tang didn’t want to interact with outsiders, exposure was a risk, she initially planned to leave directly with Lu Xiao, but after seeing Bai Lei, she changed her mind.

"Let’s stay and watch," she said to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao curiously asked, "What’s wrong?"

"There’s someone I know among them, had dealings with before."

Shen Tang then briefly recounted to him, when she first came to Eris Star, isolated and helpless, knowing nothing here.

It was by staying with that team for some time that she received a lot of help, and they were... friends she had some ties to.

Lu Xiao nodded, "Okay."

The two used a Concealing Talisman, silently blending into the shadows.

The team entered the cave.

"Whoa, this place is quite spacious." Leading the way was a big guy, a Tiger Clan Beastman, with a heavy sword slung over his shoulder thicker than his arm, looking around carelessly.

"It’s pretty clean here, like someone cleaned it."

"There’s also food residue over there." A tall thin Eagle Clan Beastman pointed to the corner, nostrils slightly twitching, speaking cautiously, "Beast meat cans, fruit, and soup, just finished not long ago."

The group exchanged glances, the atmosphere subtly tensing, but after looking around they didn’t sense any unfamiliar aura.

It seemed even if someone was here, they should have sensed their arrival and discreetly left or hid away.

The Tiger Clan Beastman slammed the heavy sword onto the ground, shouting into the depths of the cave, "Hey, whether someone is here or not, we’re just resting for a bit, we’ll be leaving soon, don’t mind us!"

After waiting for a moment, there was no response.

"Alright, rest first. Even if it really is those two, we can’t handle them with just us." An older Beastman waved his hand, taking the lead to sit down, pulling out a flask and taking a swig, "We’ll talk more when the main group arrives."

The others also found their places to sit, bringing out canned food, drinking water, and supplements to replenish their strength.

Shen Tang listened quietly from the shadows, Lu Xiao’s palm silently covering hers to signal her not to rush.

"Hey, where do you think those two have gone?" The Tiger Clan Beastman mumbled, gnawing on a piece of jerky, "Didn’t Sea Country report seeing them flying this way? We’ve been searching for days with not a trace."

"What’s the rush. Big Boss has spoken, alive we want to see them dead or alive we want their bodies, there’s a bounty on them, there are plenty of people willing to risk their lives for us." The older Beastman said calmly.

"Reward or not, but what are those two’s power levels? One Breaking Yuan Rank, one Peak of Primordial Beast Tier, we’d become fodder if we clashed." The tall thin one sneered, "Big Boss persistently wants to face those two head-on. The Young City Lord has been missing for so long, who knows if they’re dead or alive..."

"Shut up," the older Beastman coldly interrupted, "Say that in front of me, fine, but if it reaches Big Boss’s ears, you’ll regret it."

The tall thin one shrank his neck, not speaking further.

After a moment of silence, the Tiger Clan Beastman spoke again, voice lowered, "Rumor has it Big Boss got in touch with the Hand of Creation? True or not?"
