A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 262 Mass Grave

Shen Qingli thought to herself that Zackis's twisted personality was even worse than the negative effects of the cards. Even if she didn't use them, he would still be in this terrible state.

She's now only afraid that he doesn't love her!
The moment the card took effect, Zaxis's body stiffened abruptly, and a hint of disorientation appeared in his eyes.

He stared blankly at Shen Qingli lying on the ground, the coldness and disgust in his eyes cracking like ice, turning into fervor and affection.

He strode forward, lifted Shen Qingli up in his arms, and gently wiped away her wounds and mud.

The man's voice was incredibly gentle, "I'm so sorry, sweetheart, I was so angry just now that I did something so rude to you. It was all my fault! I'll definitely make it up to you!"

Shen Qingli's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked pitiful. "I don't need your compensation. I just want you to treat me well and love me properly."

"You are my favorite!"

"Then what you promised me..."

"Heh~ So what if you want to kill your dear sister? I'll do it for you!"

After receiving Zackis's promise, Shen Qingli suppressed her excitement, took out the Soul-Destroying Needle from her spatial storage, handed it to him, and instructed, "As long as this poisoned needle is inserted into Shen Tang's body, he will surely die!"

Zaxis stared in shock at the poisoned needle she had produced; it was as thin as a hair, yet contained an extremely powerful and terrifying toxin and force.

This needle, let alone targeting a female, would likely kill him as well.

Where did she get so many good things?

It is precisely this mystery and novelty of Shen Qingli that allows Zaxis to maintain his fascination and prevent him from losing interest.

He stored the poisoned needles in his spatial storage, hooked Shen Qingli's chin with his large hand, and let out a series of low laughs. "You really are ruthless, able to be so cruel to your own sister... But I like it!"

With that, Zaxis kissed Shen Qingli's lips, tore open her clothes, strode into the tent, and threw her onto the bed.

Shen Qingli's black hair was disheveled, her face slightly flushed, and she looked at the man's impatient appearance with some fear. "Business is important. After you come back, do whatever you want... I, I'll satisfy you!"

She just wanted to get rid of Shen Tang as soon as possible, but Zaxis was in no hurry. He touched her slender and soft waist with his large hand, his eyes full of infatuation.

Zaxis suddenly realized that Shen Qingli was inexplicably charming today, making his heart flutter, his blood boil, and him want to vent his anger!
"Don't rush, let me enjoy you first."

"None of them will survive!"

……

Since the rebels were completely wiped out, the imperial city has finally fallen into a long-awaited peace, and the people and orc warriors who remained in the city were dealing with the ruins left behind on the battlefield.

Everything is in ruins and ready to be rebuilt; everything is thriving.

Everyone's heart is filled with hope for the future.

After the battlefield is cleaned up, the reconstruction of the imperial city will begin.

I believe that under Her Highness's leadership, things will only get better and better!
At the city gate, a lithe and strong black panther could be seen from afar carrying a large bag of things, leading a hunting party as it ran towards them.

Black Panther moved with lightning speed, traversing the ruins as if they were flat ground, leaving the team far behind, and rushed back to the encampment, running into the largest tent in the very center.

Shen Li brought over a basin of water and sat down by the bed to carefully wipe Shen Tang's face and arms as she slept.

Xiao Jin rushed in, kicking up a cloud of dust. He was covered in dirt and reeked of blood.

Shen Li looked disgusted. "Slow down and go wash yourself. You stink."

Xiao Jin rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to him, and put the bag on the bedside.

After prying it open with my claws, I found a whole bag full of crystal cores!

Xiao Jin turned to look at the unconscious female on the bed, his sharp golden eyes filled with worry, and he resisted the urge to lick her. "It's been three days, why hasn't Tangtang woken up yet?"

Dr. Goya examined Shen Tang's body and found nothing seriously wrong, but he was exhausted and needed to rest.

The beastmen thought they could use the crystal cores to replenish her body's energy, which would hopefully wake her up sooner.

Only high-level creatures with powerful energy can condense crystal cores—high-level mutants, high-level orcs, and high-level beasts.

The corpses outside the city were all handed over to the army inside the city for disposal.

The crystal cores mined out are generally of low grade, but fortunately there are enough of them to enhance the legion's combat power.

Xiao Jin and his group only took the crystal cores of beastmen of the eighth rank or higher.

Shen Tang had previously mentioned that she was averse to consuming crystal cores extracted from orcs, so they didn't give her those crystal cores directly. The energy in those cores was too high for her to absorb, and her body might not be able to handle it. Xiao Jin and the others absorbed the crystal cores first, and their strength improved to some extent.

Xue Yinzhou's strength has increased to the peak of the mid-stage of the ninth rank.

Xiao Jin, Lu Xiao, and Shen Li have all reached the peak of the eighth rank, just one step away from entering the ninth rank.

Jialan also successfully broke through to the mid-stage of the eighth rank.

After breaking through, the beastmen went to hunt high-level beasts.

After the war, most of the wild animals in the vicinity had fled, so they had to go to more distant places to hunt high-level wild animals and travel day and night to get back, a trip that would take two or three days.

All the obtained crystal cores were fed to Shen Tang.

But her efforts were in vain; she still didn't wake up.

Shen Li gently tucked a stray hair behind Shen Tang's ear, saying, "I think the supernatural power in her body has been replenished to a near-complete degree. If we feed her too much, she won't be able to absorb it now, so there's no need to rush."

Lu Xiao looked at her rosy, healthy cheeks, which showed no signs of illness but rather a peaceful and sweet expression. He nodded and said, "I think the female master is just too tired and wants to sleep a little longer. There's no need to worry too much."

Xiao Jin and the others were relieved to hear this, and took turns coming to take care of Shen Tang every day, while the rest of them took care of the trivial matters in the city.

During this time, Yun Han came to visit several times, but Jia Lan chased him away each time.

He had no choice but to leave the things at the door, take a quick look from afar, and then leave dejectedly.

Xiao Jin saw a huge pile of things at the door, which was an eyesore, and wanted to throw them away.

Lu Xiao, who was known for his thriftiness, came over and said, "These medicines and tonics are quite precious. It would be a waste to throw them away. The female master has us to take care of her and doesn't need these things. However, there are still many civilians and soldiers in the capital who are short of resources. Let's give them to them."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin realized it made sense and distributed the items to his soldiers.

Yun Han was displeased when he learned of this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Later, he stopped sending them there and instead distributed them directly to the orcs in the city who needed them.

……

Meanwhile, outside the city...

A group of orcs wearing masks and protective suits were cleaning up the corpses on the battlefield.

This great battle resulted in countless deaths and injuries.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the battlefield was littered with corpses.

Several major battlefields, in particular, were almost reduced to mass graves.

The surviving orcs built a cemetery behind the city, dug up the bodies of the martyrs, buried them in the cemetery, and erected monuments to them.

As for the rebels' corpses, they also need to deal with them quickly, otherwise the rotting corpses will pollute the nearby water sources and attract a beast tide. The imperial city is now unable to cope with another fierce battle.

There are too many corpses on the battlefield, and there are still many after several days.

The orcs also had to work overtime at night.

After several days of fermentation, the corpses in the mass grave began to rot. Flies and maggots buzzed around the bodies, and the stench of decay was unbearable. Even with an isolation mask on, the stench was still strong.

"Damn it, it stinks! Get the job done and get out of here!"

Orcs carrying shovels had just loaded two corpses onto a truck.

As he turned to leave, he suddenly stepped on something. Looking down, he saw it was the arm of a corpse.

He cursed under his breath and quickly left.

But what they didn't see was that the twisted arm of the corpse behind them suddenly moved, its five fingers strangely spreading out and gripping the ground.

The orc had only taken two steps when he tripped over the vines.

He turned his head and was met with a rotting corpse head right in front of him, its dark, crimson eyes staring at him in horror.

The next second, the rotting corpse opened its blood-red maw and instantly bit his neck.

"what--!!!"
