A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 353 Sacrificing Oneself for the Flames (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
The poisoned arrow pierced Shen Li's chest, and blood instantly stained his clothes.

He staggered, knelt on one knee, and his face turned deathly pale.

"Shen Li!" Shen Tang's voice was filled with unprecedented panic. She rushed over and supported his swaying body, her anger and sorrow reaching their peak.

"Don't be afraid, I'll treat you right now!" Not knowing if the poisoned arrow had pierced his heart, Shen Tang didn't dare to pull it out rashly. She reached her hand towards his wound, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably.

Healing power quickly spread from her palm, trying to help heal his wounds, but how could these assassins possibly give her that chance!
Shen Li raised his hand to stroke her face, his voice filled with tenderness and longing. "Tangtang, leave this place, and don't come back!"

The leader of the men in black laughed wildly, "Trying to run? Dream on! You're all going to die here today!"

"All of you, charge! Kill them!"

In the final moment between life and death, Shen Li reached out and pulled Shen Tang into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his voice incredibly gentle, "Little Tang'er, I love you too."

"Take care along the way."

When Shen Tang heard these words, she was stunned for a moment. By the time she realized what he was about to do, it was too late. Shen Li shoved Shen Tang away forcefully, causing her to stagger back several steps.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his gaze toward her was both resolute and tender!
"Go!" he roared, pulling the arrow from his chest and slamming his right palm into the ground.

In an instant, the entire space trembled and shattered, and subterranean fire erupted, with scorching magma bursting forth like an angry dragon breaking through the earth, sweeping in all directions.

Flames surged and coalesced behind him into a gigantic phantom of a nine-tailed fox, its eyes burning crimson. It roared to the sky, grabbed Shen Tang, and flew out through the collapsed hole above.

"Oh no! Run! He's trying to awaken the subterranean fire and take us all down with him!"

"Madman, what a madman!"

"Run!!!!"

The man in black retreated in terror, but it was too late to escape.

The lava engulfed them like a giant wave, and their screams were instantly swallowed by the flames.

Shen Li's slender figure gradually blurred in the sea of ​​fire.

Finally, he looked up and gave Shen Tang a deep look, his thin lips parted slightly as if he were saying something, but Shen Tang could no longer hear him, her vision blurred by tears.

She was enveloped by the phantom of the nine-tailed fox and disappeared into the churning crimson flames.

"Shen Li—!"

The entire space collapsed and caved in, leaving only a raging sea of ​​fire, and the female's heart-wrenching screams completely disappeared into the distance.

……

When Lu Xiao and Jia Lan arrived with their troops, the volcano, which had been dormant for a hundred years, was revived. The lava in the crater was boiling and bubbling like boiling water, flowing down the uneven mountainside and spewing out a towering flame. The night sky was filled with a scarlet sunset!
The air was distorted and scorching hot, and the earth trembled uncontrollably, cracking open in large, spiderweb-like fissures, like ghostly phantoms devouring all living things around them.

"Tangtang, where are you!"

"Please speak!"

The brown-haired youth stomped step by step on the scorching ground, screaming with all his might, his beautiful peach blossom eyes bloodshot.

Jialan hated this kind of environment the most; the scorching hot air felt like it could tear his flesh apart. But at this moment, he couldn't care less. He searched every inch of the area near the volcano, but he couldn't find the figure he longed to see.

Lu Xiao led his team to search the surrounding area, but they couldn't find Shen Tang and Shen Li.

Someone pointed at the crater belching black smoke and lava, and exclaimed in horror, "Her Majesty...could she have gone there?!"

Lu Xiao's face turned extremely ugly. Why would they go into the volcano if they had nothing better to do? But as far as he knew, this volcano had long been classified as an extinct volcano and should not have erupted at all. Yet it erupted unexpectedly tonight. Unless—something really happened inside!
Lu Xiao and Jia Lan rushed over without paying any attention.

The rumored dormant volcano has been completely revived, with scorching lava churning beneath its crater. Just getting close to it is enough to melt a person!

Jialan was enveloped in a chilling aura that solidified, freezing large swaths of scorched earth with every step she took.

He went mad, recklessly unleashing his powerful ice-based abilities to freeze all the subterranean fire erupting from the volcano. The amount of power he expended was terrifying.

A metallic taste filled the young man's throat, and his face turned frighteningly pale. He continued to channel his ice-type powers into the volcano relentlessly until he was completely exhausted.

The entire volcano was frozen solid, and the erupting lava columns were suspended in the air, as if time had stood still.

The beastmen present were all shocked. They never expected that this mermaid prince would have such a powerful ability to freeze an erupting volcano!

Lu Xiao instantly transformed into his true form, a golden eagle, and flew directly above the crater. Countless wind blades gathered between his sharp, steel-like claws, tearing through the air and shattering the ice and fire layers below before leaping into the crater.

He found Shen Tang unconscious inside a recessed wall near the crater.

Fortunately, there was a barrier of condensed energy protecting the female; otherwise, she would probably have been burned to ashes by the lava long ago.

Lu Xiao quickly brought her out.

"Tangtang! Wake up, what happened? What's wrong with you?"

Jialan was overjoyed to see that Lu Xiao had brought the person back safely, but then she discovered that the person was unconscious and could not be woken up no matter how she called.

Her face was pale and streaked with tears, as if she had suffered some kind of painful experience.

This caused the two beastly husbands even more heartache and pain.

Jialan, as if remembering something, turned her head and asked, "Where's that fox? Where did he go? Why didn't you bring him out?"

Thinking of this, Jialan was furious. She didn't know what had gotten into that fox, bringing Shen Tang to such a dangerous place in the middle of the night. They almost lost their lives!
Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't know where Shen Li went. I only found Tangtang, not him."

"That damn fox wouldn't have abandoned Tangtang and run away, would he? Damn it, what is he trying to do!" Jialan was truly furious.

Lu Xiao shook his head. "It shouldn't be. When I rescued the female master, I saw that her body was protected by an energy barrier. That energy came from Shen Li. If it weren't for this energy barrier, she would probably have been burned to ashes by the lava."

"I really don't understand what's going on."

Just as the two were pondering whether to go back and search again, the ground trembled violently once more.

Someone shouted, "It's terrible! Run! The volcano is about to erupt!"

Lu Xiao made a decisive decision: "Retreat!"

Jialan hugged Shen Tang and jumped onto his back.

With a flap of his wings, Lu Xiao soared into the sky and quickly led his team to retreat.

Just after they retreated, there was a loud bang!
The volcano exploded!
The magma spewed out like blood, shattering and evaporating the ice. The magma erupted like a fountain, as if it had burned a hole in the sky. Fiery pillars pierced into the clouds, and black smoke carrying sparks rolled across half the sky.

The few orcs at the back of the column who were flying slowly were almost burned by the lava. Terrified, they turned pale and quickly flapped their wings to fly forward.

If they had been even a second later, they would probably have perished here!
Looking down from the air, the volcano was erupting on a large scale and continuously, and the area within a radius of several kilometers had become a disaster zone.

The flames devoured everything, leaving nothing but barren land; not a single life survived.
