A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 571 Copy Card

The moment Shen Tang saw the emerald green seed, her breath caught in her throat—she was right, the vine was indeed in Necro's hands!
She never imagined that Fu Teng would meet such a tragic end. Necro was so ruthless towards this companion with whom she had worked for several years, destroying his original body and leaving only a seed.

This is tantamount to destroying half a century of cultivation by Fu Teng in an instant.

Future cultivation will have to start from scratch.

Seeing Shen Tang's shocked expression, Necro smiled smugly, "He's very useful to you, isn't he?"

The tone was firm.

The fact that the Binding Vine could cultivate more Purification Tree seeds, while not a top secret, was known only within their ranks. It's surprising that Necro even guessed that!

Seeing Necro slowly clench his fist as if to crush the seed, Shen Tang was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead. "Wait! Don't do it!"

Necro opened his palm again, his smile growing increasingly malicious. "If you want it back, come and get it yourself."

Seeing that Lu Xiao and the others were about to make a move, he immediately clenched his fists, his voice cold and sinister, "Otherwise, I'll destroy it right now!"

The air solidified instantly.

Shen Tang and the beastmen all stopped what they were doing, fearing that Necro might really go crazy and destroy the seed.

If the seeds are destroyed, the plan to purify the tree will be completely ruined.

This is a huge loss that they cannot afford.

Shen Tang took a deep breath and looked directly at him. "What exactly do you want? State your conditions."

Necro stared intently at her, still with that lazy and arrogant demeanor. "I made myself clear: if you want the seeds, come and get them yourself."

He began to count down slowly, "I'll count to three. If you don't want it, I'll... destroy it for you."

"you--"

"one."

Shen Tang's breath caught in her throat, and she clenched her hands tightly, her face turning even paler.

Lu Xiao, Xiao Jin, Xue Yinzhou, Shen Li and the others immediately darkened their expressions. Their energy fluctuated, but they hesitated to make a move.

Given Necro's current severely injured state, they were fully confident they could completely subdue him. However, the importance of the seed prevented them from making any rash moves.

Seeing their reactions, Necro's smile widened.

"two."

At the same time, he exerted force with his palm again, and crimson energy wrapped around his fingertips, making the fragile seed seem like it was about to shatter at any moment.

Just as Necro was about to pronounce the last number, Shen Tang couldn't hold back any longer, "Wait!"

Necrosne glanced at her, his eyes deep. "Have you thought it through?"

Shen Tang exchanged a glance with him, then looked at the beastmen beside her. Although Necro was on the verge of collapse, the beastmen were also in poor condition.

They were all injured and exhausted.

Continuing to fight will only result in mutual destruction.

To perish together with her was not the outcome she wanted to see.

Shen Tang took a deep breath, turned to Necro, and nodded, "Okay, I promise you."

Lu Xiao, Xiao Jin, Shen Li, and Xue Yinzhou's expressions immediately changed.

Even Xiao Jialan ran out of the space and hugged her arm tightly, "No! You can't go there!"

"Damn bastard, I'm going to kill him!" Even Jialan, who was far away in the temple, couldn't sit still anymore. The priests quickly stopped the high priest from leaving.

"Priest, you can't leave!"

Some even grabbed his legs and cried out, "What will we do if you leave!"

……

Of course, these are all for later.

In the deep darkness of the forest, two groups faced off. The air seemed to stand still, the tension palpable, even the chirping of insects had ceased. Shen Tang knew the beastmen were worried about her safety, but at this moment, she had to step forward. Otherwise, this struggle would never end.

Even if Necro were killed today, the million-strong rebel army would be leaderless, and the forces composed of various criminals and vagrants would certainly spiral out of control, bringing even more severe damage to the empire.

She gave the beastmen a reassuring look and said softly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

In fact, just now, the system had already issued her a new task, which she agreed to for Necro.

[Reward: One copy card.]

[Copy Card: Can copy any used special item.]

A plan had quietly taken shape in Shen Tang's mind. Although risky, it was the only way at the moment.

She turned to Necro, "I hope you keep your word."

Necro: "Of course."

Shen Tang walked towards him.

Xiao Jin and the others were so frightened their hearts nearly jumped out of their chests, and they instinctively tried to pull her back. But Shen Tang had already made up her mind, and Necro was even faster. The moment she approached, he suddenly used his strength to grab her and pull her into his arms.

"I've finally caught you."

His thin lips, stained with blood, were close to Shen Tang's ear, and his cold voice was like a demon's whisper.

Although Xiao Jin was almost beaten to death by Necro, he was not afraid at all and roared angrily, "What exactly do you want, you bastard? Don't forget what you just said, are you trying to go back on your word!"

Lu Xiao's eyes were cold and his face was tense. "You are no match for us now. I hope the leader will come to his senses. There is no point in continuing to fight."

Shen Li and Xue Yinzhou's aura was extremely cold. As expected, the rebels did not keep their word, and negotiating with them was useless!

Necro didn't care about their words at all. He just glanced coldly at the beastmen who wanted to make a move, and casually raised his hand to grab Shen Tang's neck.

So fragile, it can be broken with the slightest force.

“If she comes any closer, I’ll kill her.”

He looked down at the woman whose face was flushed, his lips almost touching her earlobe, and let out a strange laugh, "You're disobedient while alive, but even in death you'll still fall into my hands."

The icy breath blowing on my neck sent chills down my spine.

Shen Tang felt stiff and numb all over, but she wasn't surprised. Necro was always such a cold-blooded, despicable, capricious, and unscrupulous person.

Want him to keep his word? That's a pipe dream.

A notification sound indicating that the task was completed echoed in my mind.

She feigned fear, her voice trembling as she said, "Don't do anything... I... I'll get them to let you go!"

Xiao Jin glared at him with bloodshot eyes, furious.

Xue Yinzhou's purple eyes turned slightly red, but he dared not step forward rashly.

Only then did Necro release his grip slightly, satisfied. Shen Tang's neck finally felt a little better, and then he looked up coldly at the beastmen whose faces were grim, as he held her hostage and retreated step by step.

The beastmen dared not approach easily.

Until his figure completely disappeared into the forest.

Xiao Jin slammed his fist into the tree, wanting to chase after it.

Lu Xiao quickly pulled him back, saying, "Calm down."

Shen Tang is in Necro's hands. Even if they catch up with him now, they won't be able to do anything to Necro.

and……

"If I'm not mistaken, the female protagonist said something before she left—"

Lu Xiao had taken lip-reading courses and easily understood that silent promise.
She said, "Wait for me to come back."
