A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 277 Soaking in a Hot Spring (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

Xiao Jin listened to the few words she casually mentioned and knew perfectly well: How could it be so easy?
That's an army of tens of thousands! Even if a ninth-tier orc wanted to break through, it would be a near-certain death!
Not to mention that there was also a ninth-tier peak Zackis at the time. He simply couldn't imagine how much difficulty Shen Tang had gone through, or how much courage she had to risk her life to bring him out.

Xiao Jin also vaguely felt that things were not as simple as she said, but knowing that with Shen Tang's personality, there was no point in asking her about things she didn't want to talk about, so he didn't press her further.

He held her in his arms and whispered remorsefully, "I'm sorry, Tangtang, I failed to protect you!"

"It's all in the past, let's not talk about anything else." Shen Tang nestled in his arms, as long as she was still alive.

At the same time, the green healing power emanating from her palm helped heal Xiao Jin's wounds.

After a brief moment of tenderness, the two continued on their journey.

This place is far from the border controlled by the rebels, but that won't stop them from pursuing us again. Besides, they've been gone for more than a day, so we need to get back to the main force as soon as possible.

Shen Tang's body was severely frozen, and her legs were almost unresponsive. She nearly collapsed as soon as she stood up.

Xiao Jin quickly transformed into his beast form, curled his tail, and dragged her onto his back.

Shen Tang was surprised to find that Xiao Jin's beast form was even more magnificent and larger than before.

His original form was almost pure black, but now, upon closer inspection, golden dark patterns appeared on the black panther's body, and a golden lightning mark was faintly visible between his eyebrows. He looked as if he had been reborn, exuding an indescribable, fierce, and domineering kingly aura!
"...You've broken through to the ninth rank?" Shen Tang sensed that Xiao Jin's aura had become even more profound and powerful, but she was still very surprised.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a significant change in a person's physical body after a breakthrough.

Xiao Jin nodded, "Not only have I broken through, but my second skill has also been successfully awakened, which will allow me to get you back sooner!"

Xiao Jin originally wanted to spend more time alone with her and didn't want to meet the other beastmen so early, but he also knew that Shen Tang must be in a hurry to go back, so he didn't hold back his supernatural power and took her back as quickly as possible.

His superpower allows him to travel nearly 100 kilometers in an instant.

However, considering Shen Tang's physical condition, which made it unsuitable for her to use her teleportation ability extensively, they decided to stop and rest for a while. At most, half a day would be enough to bring her back to the main force.

She was suddenly taken away and has been gone for so long without a trace. Lu Xiao and the others must be extremely worried. Shen Tang quickly tried to contact them using her personal terminal.

Don't worry, Xiao Jin and I are both fine and on our way back.

I don't know if they can see this.

Shen Tang had just sent the message when Lu Xiao made a video call.

She quickly answered the call.

In the video, Lu Xiao's handsome and deep-set face appears.

In my memory, he had always been calm and composed, but now his face showed obvious panic, with faint dark circles under his eyes and a slightly haggard appearance.

The moment Lu Xiao saw Shen Tang, his chest heaved violently, and he said, "Mistress, where are you now? I'll come pick you up."

"I..." Shen Tang looked around at the deep mountains and forests. To be honest, she didn't know where she was.

Just as she was about to turn on her computer for location tracking, several more video calls came in one after another.

Shen Li, Jia Lan, Xue Yinzhou.

Shen Tang simply created a group chat and made a group call.

The beastmen were extremely nervous and haggard. Only when they saw that she was still alive did they breathe a sigh of relief and feel like they had recovered half of her soul.

After comforting her, Shen Tang got down to business, "Xiao Jin and I are both fine and will be back in half a day. Don't worry, just focus on leading the main force to Kongdu City. We'll meet up in the city then."

Shen Li said, "The troops have already arranged for others to take you on the journey. We'll go and bring you back first." The beastmen were worried and wanted to see her with their own eyes, in case something else happened on the way.
Having no other option, Shen Tang could only initiate a real-time location request in the group chat, and then they would meet up later.

After giving her instructions, Shen Tang hung up the phone and continued on her journey with peace of mind.

Shen Tang lay on the black panther's back, closing her eyes for a short rest, when suddenly a somewhat frustrated voice from the system echoed in her mind.
[Host, I have bad news for you. Because I forcibly used the Invisibility Talisman, violating system rules, I have been punished with a forced hibernation period of half a month... During this period, you can use the system map, but other permissions will be temporarily blocked.]

Shen Tang knew the system was doing this for her own good, so she wasn't too surprised and nodded to indicate that she understood.

The system then went into hibernation.

No matter how she called out, she couldn't get a sound.

As they traveled along, the wind and snow gradually subsided, and Shen Tang seemed to hear the sound of flowing water.

She sniffed and smelled a faint sulfurous odor.

After opening the system map and scanning the vicinity, a natural hot spring was found 1.3 kilometers away.

Having been buried in the snow for so long, her body is still a bit stiff and cold. After being exposed to the cold wind all the way, her face and nose are red from the cold. Soaking in a hot spring would be incredibly comfortable.

Shen Tang quickly patted the leopard's head, reminding him to stop. "Turn left, go to the left! There's a hot spring not far away. You can soak in it and stretch your muscles. You're all dirty, so you can take a bath while you're at it."

Xiao Jin also smelled the sulfurous odor, and without Shen Tang needing to say anything more, he found the right direction and led her to the hot spring.

Upon arriving, Shen Tang was even more pleasantly surprised to find a large hot spring waterfall!

Thick white snow piled up among the treetops, the hot spring water was crystal clear, and the rising steam melted the thick snow around it, revealing the withered yellow weeds by the spring. The scenery was extremely beautiful.

She rolled off the black panther and landed quickly, then jumped into the hot spring with a "plop!"

The temperature was warm and comfortable. Shen Tang felt all the pores on her body open up, dispelling the cold from her body. She felt incredibly comfortable soaking in the warm water.

Xiao Jin also transformed into human form, took off his clothes, and stepped into the hot spring.

Shen Tang swam gracefully to the edge of the pool, happily splashing water on her arms. Her fair and healthy skin was covered with glistening water droplets that dazzled the eyes.

Xiao Jin couldn't help but look at her, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

The woman had a delicate and alluring face, a full and graceful figure, and long, jet-black hair that was damp with water vapor, winding wetly down her shoulders, neck, and back.

Her hair was still studded with snowflakes, her skin was snow-white, and her cheeks were flushed slightly by the heat, like rouge, making her bright and beautiful.

He could still smell the fragrance emanating from her.

In particular, the pool water is crystal clear, and you can see everything clearly.

Xiao Jin felt a sudden surge of restlessness within him, so he quickly turned his face away, trying not to look at her, and focused on washing his body.

With the female right next to him, he was too embarrassed to wash other parts of his body, and he was also afraid that he would lose control if he touched anything. He simply washed the wound.

Xiao Jin scrubbed his arms and chest, areas most prone to injury during battle. Although Shen Tang had healed his wounds with her healing abilities, his body still retained blood and dirt, which he cleaned thoroughly.

Clear water washed over the man's strong, full chest, revealing his well-defined eight-pack abs. Every muscle in his body was firm and clearly defined, and his arms were long and strong, with prominent veins. He exuded an alluring sense of power.

The mist offered no obstruction, revealing his perfect physique with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was young, sexy, and fit. Glistening water droplets fell into the water's surface along its contours, creating an indescribably alluring and sensual scene.
