A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 265 Will Xiao Tang'er receive a reward?

Shen Tang, "You had such a good thing, why didn't you say so sooner!"

Good things aren't given to you for free; you need to buy them with your money.

The system scoffed, "[This zombie trap is an extremely rare item that only appears in the shop. It costs 500 points to buy, and you're currently broke, without a single point. Even if I told you, you still couldn't buy it.]"

"500 points?! Why don't you just rob me!" Shen Tang cursed the heartless system. These points were incredibly slow to accumulate, but they were spent as fast as water.

Seeing her gloomy face, the system chuckled again. [Don't be too sad, host. Given your diligent completion of tasks and accumulated 100 reputation points, I've specially granted you a chance to buy on credit.]

[Host, you can purchase rare items on credit this time, but remember to pay them off within one month. Failure to pay on time will not only incur high interest but will also result in an electric shock punishment!]

Shen Tang was so angry he wanted to curse his father. What kind of usurious and black-hearted system was this?

But the situation was urgent, and she desperately needed the zombie trap, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and buy it.

The last condition is missing: a flame that can burn continuously for three days.

Shen Tang recalled the flames Shen Li had used last time, which even Zackis couldn't extinguish. However, he had been intentionally concealing his identity and using foxfire extensively might expose his true nature. She wondered if he would help her.

Shen Tang decided to go and discuss it with the thief fox first.

She patted the eagle's head. "Ah Xiao, take me downstairs first. I need to go and discuss this with Shen Li."

Lu Xiao's heart trembled slightly when he heard the female's soft, sweet voice and affectionate address, but he didn't show it on his face. He paused for a moment before returning to normal, his voice low and gentle, "Hmm, hold on tight, Mistress. You can hug my neck, and I'll take you down."

Shen Tang quickly closed her eyes and hugged Lu Xiao's neck tightly.

Then, his body suddenly lost weight, and he turned around sharply like a roller coaster, instantly plunging down from a height of thousands of meters!

With a flap of its wings, the golden eagle unleashed thousands of sharp wind blades that ripped the surging zombies into pieces, which then exploded into clouds of blood mist.

After successfully landing on the ground, Shen Tang dared to open her eyes, ran her fingers through her messy hair, and flipped herself off the golden eagle. She then found an excuse to call Shen Li, who was leading the team, over to discuss the burning incident.

After hearing her plan, Shen Li's eyes flashed with surprise. "This method is feasible."

His smile was gentle, and he didn't agree immediately, so Shen Tang knew that this cunning fox was hesitating.

She looked at him and whispered, "Brother Shen Li, you said you would help me. Were all the things you said before just lies?"

“…How could I bear to lie to you?” Shen Li raised his hand and gently pinched her nose, sighing softly, “This time and time again, I’ve really fallen for you.”

"So you're agreeing to help me?" Her cat-like eyes suddenly lit up, making one's heart soften.

"Ha, Little Tang'er has threatened me to this extent, how could I dare not help you?"

"I'm not threatening you, I'm begging you."

Shen Li's fox-like eyes curved into crescent moons, and his lips curled into an alluring smile. He tapped his cheek with his long, jade-like fingertips, leaned down, and smiled, "Hmm, you're begging me. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Little Tang'er, is there any reward for asking for favors?"

Shen Tang looked around. The rest of the group was in a hurry to escape and no one was paying attention to them. Her face flushed slightly, she quickly tiptoed over and placed a kiss on the man's handsome and charming face, like a dragonfly skimming the water. "Pay a deposit first, and when we get back, you can ask for the reward however you like."

Shen Li's eyes darkened. Did the little female know what those words meant? If the timing wasn't wrong, he would have already... Suppressing the ripples in his heart, Shen Li held her in his arms, lowered his head to kiss the tip of her nose, and gently stroked her hair. "Don't worry, I will help you. You continue with the troops and don't look back."

A ripple of worry stirred in Shen Tang's heart. She asked with concern, "Should I select all the fire-type beastmen in my army to help you?"

"I don't need any burdens. You just need to follow the team and travel in peace. Don't worry about anything else. I'll take care of things behind you." Shen Li said, then whistled, signaling Lu Xiao to come and take Shen Tang away.

Before leaving, Shen Tang handed him the zombie decoy.

Shen Li looked at the cube-shaped cage in his hand, which contained a blood-red crystal. The moment this thing appeared, the zombie horde behind him seemed to go crazy, increasing its speed and swarming forward with screams.

He instantly understood what this thing was for.

Surprise flashed in Shen Li's eyes; she wondered where Shen Tang had gotten such a rare item.

Haha, Xiao Tang'er really knows how to surprise people.

Shen Li watched the group leave, remaining where he was. As the troops marched further and further away, Shen Tang, sitting on the back of the golden eagle, looked back and could only see a dark mass of zombies, like a putrid, grayish-green carpet covering the earth. He couldn't see the slender, beautiful figure at all; she seemed to have been swallowed up by the mountain of corpses.

"Shen Li, you absolutely mustn't get into trouble..."

Shen Tang's eyes reddened, her breath caught in her throat, her fingertips dug deep into her palm, and her heart leaped into her throat.

Just when she was extremely nervous.

"boom--"

A burst of flames exploded like fireworks, breaking through layers of rotting black carpet and dyeing the sky a brilliant red.

Hundreds of zombies were blasted away by the flames in an instant, engulfed in billowing black smoke.

Amidst the raging flames, a tall, beautiful, and enormous figure emerged, like an elf born from the flames. The fire fox's body was ablaze with crimson-gold flame patterns, and its nine tailed phantoms, like flowing clouds, slowly bloomed behind it like lotus flowers, swaying in the wind and exploding into flames.

The wildfire spread like a dragon and a snake, forming an endless wall that trapped the zombies within.

Any zombie that touches the flames instantly catches fire and emits a sharp scream.

They instinctively rolled on the ground, tearing and struggling, but they couldn't extinguish the flames and were slowly burned to ashes.

The fire wall will continue to burn for three days and three nights until all the monsters are burned to ashes.

High in the sky, Lu Xiao saw the raging wall of fire behind him and his sharp eagle eyes flashed with shock. He seemed to see a golden-red nine-tailed fox shadow in the flames.

Is it Shen Li?
In the blink of an eye, the fiery red phantom disappeared, seemingly just an illusion created by the flames.

But the eagle's eyesight was sharp, and he was absolutely certain he hadn't misread it.

Is Shen Li just an ordinary red fox? How can she possess such formidable power?
Now was not a good time to explore the mystery. Lu Xiao quickly suppressed his shock and doubts and led Shen Tang and the team away from the war zone.

Shen Li quickly caught up with the group.

Wait for everything to settle.

Shen Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no sign of zombies behind them, and even the flames disappeared on the horizon.

Ahead lay a peaceful wilderness. The war that had plagued them these past few days seemed like nothing more than a nightmare, and everything had returned to its proper tranquility.

Shen Tang lay on the golden eagle's back, hugging its neck tightly, her face buried in its soft, fluffy feathers, where she could smell a faint fragrance. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt an indescribable weariness.

Lu Xiao felt the female's movements on his back, slowed down, turned his head and gently nudged her head with his curved eagle beak, speaking in human language, "If the female master is tired, take a nap first. We will reach the next city in another half day's journey."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Shen Tang smiled, hugged his head, and kissed him on the face.

Lu Xiao's cold, hard heart seemed to melt into a pool of spring water, and a gentle tenderness welled up deep in his eyes. It wasn't obvious, but it was touching enough.

His deep, magnetic voice was like a cello being played slowly, with a hint of huskiness that was intoxicating.

"May the mistress have sweet dreams."

"We arrived after I woke up from my nap."

Meanwhile, Yun Han overcame numerous difficulties and dangers to successfully locate the rebel army's headquarters.
