A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 526 Cold
The moment she broke free of her restraints, Shen Tang hugged Jia Lan tightly, overwhelmed with emotion.

She buried her face in his chest, her voice choked with emotion, filled with joy and sorrow, "Ah Lan, it really is you... I... I thought I was dreaming..."

Then she became anxious again, "Why did you come alone? Did they do anything to you?"

Jialan gently stroked her hair, soothing her tenderly, "Don't worry, if something happens to me, you won't be able to see me today."

Mermaids are cold-blooded deep-sea creatures, similar to snakes, with a consistently low body temperature. Even on a sunny summer day on land, their skin always feels slightly cool.

But Shen Tang felt that Jia Lan's body temperature was lower than usual. When he held her, she even shivered slightly from the cold. The young man's body also had an indescribable stiffness, as if his whole body was tense.

She felt as if she were hugging a cold stone.

There was also a slight dampness...

Shen Tang was startled and quickly distanced herself, only then belatedly realizing that Jia Lan was covered in injuries, with almost no unscathed areas.

His tail was particularly badly damaged, with its long, deep blue tail fin covered in wounds from the claws of wild beasts and the slashes from energy blades. Flesh and blood were torn up, and even the white bones were faintly visible...

Shen Tang's breath hitched, her fingers trembling as she dared not touch his wound, her heart aching with extreme pain.

When did this guy become so good at enduring pain? He's so badly injured, yet he hasn't uttered a sound. It's unbelievable...

Jialan was in such good spirits, calmly comforting her as if nothing had happened. She was so happy that she didn't notice his injury at first.

"You're badly injured, don't move around, I'll treat you right away," Shen Tang murmured softly in a tone that was both reproachful and tender.

Her powers had recovered somewhat, and a pale green healing energy appeared in her palm as she gently placed it on the young man's wound.

Soon, new granulation tissue sprouted from the wound, layer upon layer, and in the blink of an eye, the injury healed completely without leaving a single scar.

The young man looked down at the female patiently and gently healing his wounds.

Her eyes were slightly red, clearly heartbroken, while a different emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, Tangtang, I'm male, I'll be fine."

When Shen Tang tried to tear open his tattered clothes to get closer to his skin and wounds, Jia Lan gently grasped her wrist, subtly moved it away, and smiled faintly, "Let's leave here first, otherwise there will be more pursuers soon."

Shen Tang thought it made sense and obediently hummed in agreement.

Jialan carried her and quickly swam out of the experimental base.

Unfortunately, it's still a step too late.

As soon as the two left the experimental base, they were surrounded by a large group of men in black.

These are all agents who received the message temporarily and rushed back to provide emergency assistance.

They never expected that their base would be taken down.

Seeing the two people emerge from the base, they were filled with shock. These two were the ones who destroyed the base? How could that be?

Upon seeing so many agents, Shen Tang instinctively tensed up, her eyes blazing with fury. It was this group of people who wanted to take her away and had humiliatingly imprisoned her!
The young man sensed her stiffness and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I will avenge you."

The orcs on the other side charged in fiercely.

Jialan looked up, her blue eyes instantly turning icy cold, a hint of eerie beauty flashing within them. Her aura surged dramatically, and the surrounding seawater temperature plummeted!

Shen Tang couldn't help but feel a pang of fear. This powerful pressure even surpassed that of Lu Xiao and Xue Yinzhou. She had only ever felt a similar pressure from Necro.

Jialan held her with one arm, and suddenly clenched his other hand, gathering invisible and violent energy around him, which poured out like a tidal wave!

The seawater surged violently, vaguely condensing into a water dragon that hovered around the two of them. It not only neutralized the operative's attack but also roared as it charged into the enemy formation, shattering their formation with a deafening roar.

At the same time, a powerful ice-type ability appeared on his slender palm. Countless transparent blue ice shards condensed between his fingers and shot out, piercing the body of the proxy!
Many of the agents were instantly pierced by ice spikes, not even having time to scream.

The powerful tenth-tier orc died in the blink of an eye!

The remaining agents were extremely shocked, their faces filled with immense fear. They had never expected this mermaid to be so powerful!

They were already among the top combatants in this world, yet he killed them so easily?!
"We must kill him today! We can't let these two leave alive!" The remaining men in black were clearly well-trained and quickly changed tactics. They produced a drug from somewhere and injected it directly into the carotid artery.

Shen Tang's pupils constricted instantly upon seeing these potions. These were potions made from vampire blood, capable of greatly enhancing the combat power of orcs!

"Alan, be careful! Don't fight head-on, let's find a chance to break through!"

Jialan looked down at her, a half-smile on her face, "You don't trust me that much?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will definitely get you out of here alive."

His voice remained gentle and clear, like a morning mist or a mountain spring, carrying a comforting power.

Shen Tang stared at him blankly, her heart skipping a beat for no reason. Although they weren't exactly an old married couple, they had been married for over two years. For some reason... she felt that he was different at this moment.

The strength of the men in black on the other side has increased dramatically once again! They were already at the tenth level, and after their breakthrough, they are even more unfathomable.

The energy around them, almost solidified, caused the seawater to surge violently, and an overwhelming attack came at the two of them!

Jia Lanjun's smile faded slightly.

He pulled Shen Tang back, gently covering her eyes with one hand, and said softly, "Close your eyes, don't look."

Shen Tang's vision was suddenly plunged into darkness. She instinctively grabbed the young man's cold hand, but paused when she heard his words, letting him cover her eyes.

Without clothing to block the view, she could feel it more clearly: his hands were very cold...

Extremely cold...

It was like holding a piece of ice that would never melt.

Shen Tang naturally couldn't see that the young man's eyes had turned into a haunting, eerie, and captivating purplish-red. He gazed at the charging proxy, uttering a single word.
"break."

Those agents froze in mid-air as if frozen, time standing still, their eyes unfocused and unfocused, forgetting what they were supposed to do.

Subsequently, the temperature of the entire sea area plummeted to freezing point, and the space was covered by ice inch by inch.

Countless icicles burst from the ground, piercing the black-clad man's body and exploding with a deafening roar!

Except for the two of them, all the orcs vanished in an instant.

The entire sea was stained red with blood, and broken limbs and bones floated on the water, making the whole sea look like a graveyard.

Shen Tang smelled the strong, pungent odor of blood and nervously grabbed the young man's hand. "Alan, are you hurt? What's the situation?"

Jialan released her hand, the purplish-red in her eyes quietly disappearing, returning to a clear, sea-like light blue. She said calmly, "It's all resolved. We can go home now."

His voice was as gentle as ever, yet it carried a hint of lingering coldness and hostility.

Shen Tang held her breath the moment she saw the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood before her.

She looked up at the mermaid youth, her voice trembling involuntarily, "You...did all of this?"

How did he become so strong?

Seeing the female's shocked and confused look, Jialan chuckled and lightly tapped her forehead, teasing her with a hint of displeasure, "As your beast husband, I've become stronger, aren't you happy?"

"But...this is too sudden! What's your strength now?"

"A Yuan Beast of the tenth rank or higher." Jia Lan gently stroked her face, her eyes filled with both the joy of finding her again and a hint of confusion. "Actually, I don't know what happened either. I was only thinking about saving you... It's my fault for losing you... I almost lost my life on my way to find you, and then I felt my power surge, and then I broke through to a higher rank..."

He spoke of it casually, as if it were just a trivial matter.

Here's a follow-up update from last night.

My life is so hard. Tonight I suddenly noticed my dog ​​had yellow nasal discharge. I searched online for a lot of tutorials, and it might be canine distemper...

I won't update tonight; I'll add it tomorrow.

I've been completely exhausted these past few days, and the next few days are probably going to be turbulent as well. I'll try my best to keep up with basic updates, but the update schedule is not fixed, so I suggest you guys don't wait.
