A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 332 Rescuing an Old Acquaintance (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

Hu Yunqing's handsome face flushed slightly. He lowered his head and honestly said, "I led my team to search the forest and found some scattered bones. They looked like they had only died recently, and didn't seem to have been eaten by ordinary wild animals. So we followed the ancient traces to search further afield, but we never expected to be attacked by an extremely terrifying creature!"

As he finished speaking, his voice trembled slightly as he tried his best to describe the monster's appearance to the orcs present.

After hearing this, Shen Tang, Xiao Jin, and Lu Xiao fell even more silent, almost certain that it was a contaminated mutant.

The situation is far worse than we imagined!
Tiger Cloud is a truly honest and straightforward guy. Knowing the danger, he still led the team to investigate. He has always been loyal and hardworking. Unfortunately, his talent and strength are too ordinary, and he almost died at the hands of the mutants.

Shen Tang called Hu Yun to her room alone and gave him the Marrow Cleansing Pill. "This pill is for you. It can help you cleanse your meridians and bones, improve your talent, and take your strength to the next level."

"Your Majesty, this..." Hu Yun was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

He felt that Shen Tang was like a goddess in his heart, and she could actually produce such a magical thing! But this thing was too precious, and he could not accept it.

Shen Tang laughed and said, "Didn't I say I'd give you my life? Your strength is too low now, you can't help me much."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yun did not hesitate any longer and took the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

He felt a powerful force impacting his meridians, and his body expelled a large amount of filth. The boy looked ashamed and quickly ran out and jumped into the river.

The next morning, when Shen Tang saw Hu Yun again, his strength had increased from the fifth rank to the sixth rank, and his talent had also increased from B-level to A+-level!
Although he cannot compare to geniuses like Xiao Jin, Hu Yun is definitely a powerful figure among ordinary people, and his future is limitless!
He broke through a major realm in just one night, an effect that surprised and delighted Hu Yun, and he became even more devoted to and respectful of Shen Tang.

After this incident, Shen Tang made up his mind to place the core of the fortress on the city wall of Green Field City.

The core of the fortress transformed into a transparent energy barrier, protecting the entire Greenfield City from both rebels and mutants!

Unfortunately, Shen Tang could only protect Greenfield City; other border regions were still facing crises, with more and more orcs disappearing every day.

She recalled that when Xue Yinzhou was in the polluted area, his mysterious devouring ability could devour the polluted mutants. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were mutually exclusive. So she sent him to clean up the mutants in the area and investigate the cause of the incident.

During this period, Greenfield City also accepted a large number of refugees, becoming a refuge in the hearts of the border people.

"Your Majesty, there are injured people outside the city who want to enter for treatment and seek refuge! But they don't have any passes, not even identification documents, which is very suspicious. We suspect they are spies sent by a neighboring country. Should we drive them away or detain them?" someone rushed to report.

When Shen Tang arrived at the city gate, he discovered that it was an old acquaintance!

Song Fang, and her beastly husband Lang Xiao and the family who were her neighbors in the polluted area back then.

Remembering how reluctant Song Fang was to leave the polluted area, saying that her family would soon be able to atone for their sins and that they would come to find her after they left the polluted area, she never expected that they would meet again today.

Song Fang is in a very bad situation. Her abdomen has been pierced and is still bleeding. Her skin has turned bluish-purple and pale. She is being held in the arms of a tall and strong male beast.

One of her beast-riding companions was also missing; presumably, he had perished on the way.

The family was stopped by the guards outside the city. Lang Xiao knelt on the ground, kowtowing and pleading, "Please let us into the city! We are really not spies! My mistress is dying. Please save her. If she doesn't receive treatment soon, she will really die!"

The guards at the city gate saw Shen Tang approaching and immediately stood up straight, looking troubled. "Your Majesty, what... what should we do?"

Upon hearing the sound, Lang Xiao turned his head to look. When he saw Shen Tang clearly, his eyes flashed with astonishment, and he thought he had seen wrong.

"Shen Tang, is that you?!"

Someone shouted angrily, "A nobody with no status dares to address His Majesty by his given name! Show some respect!"

Lang Xiao and the others were even more dumbfounded. What on earth was going on?

Now is not a good time to explain. Shen Tang's gaze fell on Song Fang, her brows furrowed deeply, and she said decisively, "I know this family. They are not spies. Let them in!"

Upon hearing this, the guards dared not stop them and quickly let the person in.

Shen Tang took out anti-pollutant serum from her spatial storage, injected it into Song Fang, and then used her healing abilities to treat her.

Not long after, Song Fang slowly woke up.

"Holy crap, I'm still alive! I clearly saw my great-grandmother!"

Shen Tang smiled wryly, "Don't worry, you're still alive and well. I'm the one who pulled you back from Great-Grandma's clutches, so don't blame me." Hearing that familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar voice, Song Fang's heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at Shen Tang, stunned for a few seconds, then jumped up excitedly, her face and neck flushed, "Tangtang?! It really is you! I! I can't believe my eyes!"

"I thought I'd never see you again in this lifetime!"

When Lang Xiao and the others saw that Song Fang had been saved, their despair turned into shock and joy at having her back. They told Song Fang what had happened at the city gate.

Shen Tang also briefly told them what had happened in the past six months.

Song Fang and the beastmen were so shocked they didn't know what to say. Who could have imagined that their neighbor, with whom they had spent every day, would become the emperor of the empire!
They were also lucky enough to meet Shen Tang when they were desperate; it was a blessing from heaven!
Song Fang quickly snapped out of her euphoria, grabbed Shen Tang's hand, and said with heartbreaking grief, "Tangtang, congratulations on becoming the queen, but I have some bad news to tell you!"

“During the time you were gone, the polluted land underwent tremendous changes. Many polluted mutants escaped, and pollutants have already invaded the Empire. My beast husband, Lu Yun, even lost his life while protecting me. You, you must be on high alert!”

Shen Tang squeezed her hand back, offering comfort, and nodded firmly, "Fangfang, thank you for telling me all this. The Empire will do everything in its power to deal with this crisis."

She continued, "If you and Lang Xiao don't have a place to stay for the time being, then stay in Green Field City for now. It's very safe here. I'll have someone take care of your documents and such."

"Thank you, Tangtang!" Song Fang wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes, deeply moved. "If we hadn't met you, we really wouldn't know what to do!"

News of the pollutant intrusion has officially sounded the alarm across the country.

The people of Green Field City were deeply moved. They had previously opposed Shen Tang's large-scale construction of the city wall, but now they realized that her decision was incredibly wise!

Fortunately, city walls were built; otherwise, Green Field City, located on the border, would probably have fallen long ago!

……

Meanwhile, Xueyinzhou arrived at the border between the Nightfall Empire and the Polluted Land.

This is the southernmost part of the empire; take one more step forward and you'll enter the polluted land.

The polluted area was lifeless and desolate.

The scenery on the other side was completely different, like heaven and hell.

The boundary between the two places has become extremely blurred. The empire had stationed troops on the border, but now it is empty and there is not a single living person in sight.

It's unclear whether those people escaped, entered the mutated creature's belly long ago, or became mutated themselves.

"call……"

In the distance, the faint sound of human breathing could be heard, seemingly mixed with weak cries for help.

Xue Yinzhou stepped forward.

Not far away, a wounded orc lay on the ground.

Hearing someone approaching, the orc cried out shrilly, "Help me, please save me..."

Xue Yinzhou slowly walked to his side.

At a moment when they were less than half a meter apart, the orc suddenly raised its head, revealing a blue face and fangs. It opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Xue Yinzhou.

Xue Yinzhou remained unmoved as the terrifying black mist instantly surged out, engulfing it and turning it into a pool of blood.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of ferocious and ugly mutants crawled out from all sides, shrieking and screaming as they rushed towards the Snow Hidden Boat, but the next second, they were swallowed up by the black mist and disappeared without a trace.

Xue Yinzhou kept his eyes straight ahead and walked deeper into the area.

at last.

He discovered the truth.
