A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 452 Crazy
Before Shen Tang even got close to the volcanic restricted area, the scorching heat made it difficult for him to move forward, and his blood felt like it was being baked dry.

A powerful force suddenly erupted from within him.

Nine fiery red fox tail phantoms enveloped her completely, and this gentler power formed a barrier, protecting her firmly from the corrosive power of the flames.

"Roar--"

As Shen Tang followed Qiu Yang into the deepest lava pool of the volcano, they heard a deafening roar.

It looked like the entire volcano was about to be overturned!

Just by listening to the sound, one could tell that the master was suffering terribly. Shen Tang looked with fear into the lava pool in the distance, where four long, black chains hung down from above, one side deeply embedded in the surrounding rocks, and at the intersection of the chains, in the center of the lava pool, was a fiery red phantom struggling in pain.

When I saw the Fiery Fox again after so long, it was completely different from the beautiful and elegant creature I remembered. Its fur was no longer smooth and soft, but scorched and rolled as if it had been scorched by lava, with each hair fluttering like flames. Its eyes were no longer peaceful and smiling, but exuded the ferocity and madness of an out-of-control beast.

Its mouth was wide open, trembling and twitching as if it were going mad or in pain, revealing sharp fangs, and silvery saliva dripped down the corners of its mouth, as if it would pounce forward at any moment and tear the orc to pieces!
The fire fox was surrounded by a dense, frenzied black aura, a sign of mental breakdown!
"Your Majesty! Please wake up! We really can't hold on any longer!"

"Roar!"

"Bang—"

The Fiery Fox was struggling frantically against the chains binding him, the surrounding rocks were shaking precariously from his impact, large pieces of rubble fell from above, and the entire space was on the verge of shattering.

The black energy surged even more terrifyingly, almost completely engulfing the fire fox, and even the indestructible chains were about to break its grip.

Dozens of high-ranking orcs pulled hard on the chains attached to its hind legs. The chains, deeply embedded in the stone wall, were on the verge of breaking under the immense force. They tried to bind the remaining three chains to the fire fox as well, but before they could succeed, they were blown away by the terrifying force!
Just as the orcs were about to fall into the lava, an earthen wall appeared in the air, catching them and transferring them to safety.

Before the orcs could even see who their benefactor was, a white figure rushed into the fire pool.

The remaining orcs at the Fire Pool were on the verge of losing control when they suddenly saw an unfamiliar female from another race rushing towards them. Their expressions changed drastically, and they shouted angrily, "Who are you? How dare an outsider trespass here? This is not a place for you. Get out of here!"

"Female, get out of here right now!"

"His Majesty has gone completely mad, he's beyond saving!"

"Don't go! You'll get hurt!"

Shen Tang seemed not to hear the shouts of the crowd. She stared blankly at the familiar yet strangely strange crazed fire fox trapped in the fire pool by chains. Her body trembled uncontrollably with fear, but she did not stop and slowly walked closer.

Upon smelling the unfamiliar scent, the Fiery Fox's fierce gaze suddenly fell upon her, baring its teeth and unleashing a furious roar to drive her away.

Its eyes turned into those of a wild beast, devoid of human reason, as if it no longer recognized her.

Shen Tang felt as if her heart was being squeezed by a pair of large hands, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness. How could Shen Li have become like this? No matter what, they had known each other for a while, and she couldn't just watch him die.

The moment she stepped into the attack range, the fire fox grew even angrier, opening its mouth to spew out a ball of destructive fire towards her.

Shen Tang's muscles were tense, ready for battle. Almost the instant the Fire Fox launched its attack, she raised her hand and conjured an earthen wall in front of her.

The earthen wall, made of ninth-tier supernatural power, was supposed to be indestructible, but it only held out for a brief moment before being shattered by the flames of destruction!

It was in those few short moments that Shen Tang bought herself time to escape. She rolled away, dodging the fatal attack, and closed the distance between herself and Fire Fox.

Her S-rank mental power could cure the orc's mental mania, but Shen Li's condition was too serious, and his strength was above hers. Without close contact, it would be difficult to successfully calm him down.

The Fiery Fox seemed to sense her attempt to approach and became even more enraged, launching a more ferocious attack, each move aimed at killing her.

With Shen Tang's strength, she was no match for the uncontrolled attack of the tenth-tier orc. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were tattered. If it weren't for her spatial trump card to dodge, she would have been burned by the flames of destruction several times, and then she would have been completely finished!
Shen Tang was forced into a defensive posture, unable to find any opportunity to attack. Exhausted over a long period, her face grew paler, her eyes bloodshot, and she was breathing heavily, on the verge of collapse.

This can't go on forever. Shen Tang can't get close to Shen Li to treat him, and his manic episodes will only get worse during the fight. They have to find a way...

In the end, Shen Tang decided to take a gamble and try it out.

May God be kind to us!
When Firefox launched another attack, Shen Tang deliberately exposed herself. The moment the stone wall in front of her broke, she was completely exposed to Firefox's line of sight.

The two were so close together.

The scorching breath sprayed onto her, almost melting her.

At this distance, once Firefox launches an attack, she will have nowhere to escape and will be burned to ashes.

Firefox's gaze fell on her, and for a moment, a blank and confused look seemed to appear in his manic eyes. His attack also suddenly stopped.

It was during this moment of pause that Shen Tang seized the opportunity, gathering all the earth-type abilities in his body, and the earth spikes that shot out from the ground sent the fire fox flying to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of high-ranking orcs flew out and joined forces to suppress the fire fox to the ground. Ignoring its struggles and howls, they firmly bound its body with the remaining three chains!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Tang condensed pure white spiritual energy, which transformed into a sharp blade and pierced the fire fox's head.

Firefox's eyes went vacant for a moment, and its struggling stopped.

The surrounding environment instantly turned pure white.

Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief, her shoulders slumped heavily, knowing she had succeeded.

She successfully entered Shen Li's mental illusion.

Before them appeared a series of large doors, each a mental portal leading to a memory of its owner.

Shen Tang passed through countless doors and arrived at the door deepest in her memory.

This is an old, faded wooden door, bearing the deep marks of time. It is surrounded by chains and cannot be opened.

This is Shen Li's innermost spiritual world, which he has kept hidden away and has never opened to anyone.

A sharp blade appeared in Shen Tang's palm. He shattered the lock, opened the door, and went inside.

The pure white light dissipated, and Shen Tang opened her eyes again, arriving in front of the magnificent palace building.

She paused for a moment, looking at the somewhat familiar scenery, and quickly recognized it as the imperial palace of the Yiyuan Empire.

"Ow~"

Not far away, a soft, clear cry of a cub could be heard.

Shen Tang turned her head to look, but there was nothing there.

Just as several anxious howls came from above and a few leaves fluttered down, Shen Tang seemed to sense something and looked up at the ancient paulownia tree not far away.

Hidden among the lush foliage was a chubby, fiery red figure, pacing back and forth on the branches, seemingly having mischievously climbed up the tree but unable to get down.

As Shen Tang approached, she could see that it was a fox cub, entirely fiery red without a single stray hair. It was as beautiful as a spirit born from the mountains and forests, and what was most striking were its nine large, fluffy tails that swayed in the wind.

It looked quite young, probably only a few months old. It was chubby, like a little ball of flesh, and with its nine overly fluffy and enormous tails, it looked like a small octopus from the sea at first glance.
