A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 580 Pure White Jasmine
Shen Li seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and suddenly asked, "Little Tang'er, can I go with you?"

Seeing that he seemed really eager to go, Shen Tang didn't refuse him anymore.

The beastmen, having endured a series of battles, were not in good spirits. After offering them emotional support, Shen Tang set off for the former palace of Necro.

This area was once the territory of the rebels, and some remnants still remain. Shen Tang ordered Commander North to personally come and incorporate them.

The rebels had long lost their former arrogance. Upon seeing the two men arrive, they all knelt down respectfully and bowed, not daring to overstep their bounds in the slightest.

North, being perceptive, immediately changed his tune, respectfully stepping forward to bow, "Your Majesty, why have you come in person? What are your orders?"

Shen Tang cut to the chase, "Do you know where the vampire's prophecy book is?"

From the memories left behind by the Blood Bead, she learned that an ancestral priest of the vampire clan had left behind a book of prophecies. Most of the prophecies in the book had come true, making it, in a sense, more than just a prophecy; it was almost a historical record. From it, one might be able to deduce many secrets of the vampire clan's past.

North was startled. After careful consideration, he replied, "I do not know the whereabouts of the Book of Prophecy. But if this book is important, it is likely kept in the Chief's study. Why don't I take Your Majesty there to investigate?"

"Okay, lead the way."

North then led the two forward.

The palace built by Necro was extremely magnificent, in no way inferior to the imperial palace of the Night Glow Empire. However, compared with the imperial palaces of other countries, it appeared empty and desolate, almost uninhabited.

After he left, no one dared to set foot there.

The entire palace was dark and gloomy, like a sleeping beast, exuding a sinister and chilling aura. From a distance, it looked like a haunted house.

Although Shen Tang had stayed here temporarily, the palace was simply too large. She usually only dared to wander around her bedroom or the nearby palaces and gardens, and had never ventured into many places. To avoid arousing Necro's suspicion, she also deliberately avoided sensitive areas such as the council chamber and the study.

Shen Tang searched the study but did not find the book of prophecy.

She later used her mental powers to investigate and discovered a hidden compartment in the wall bricks on the left side of the entrance.

"There's a mechanism here!" Shen Tang exclaimed in surprise as she stepped forward.

Shen Li raised an eyebrow and approached, tentatively triggering the mechanism a few times before finally succeeding in activating it.

A hidden drawer popped out with a click.

Among them was an ancient book with yellowed pages.

This dusty book is extremely thick, and although it has been carefully preserved by generations of vampires over hundreds of years, it is still somewhat damaged.

The cover was blank, but both of them recognized it as the legendary vampire priest's prophecy book.

Shen Tang started reading carefully from the first page.

As soon as she opened it, she was stumped.

Although the book records various events, large and small, it is written in an ancient script that she does not recognize at all. It should be the ancient language commonly used by vampires, which is difficult for outsiders to understand. Only when major events are recorded are there hand-drawn illustrations, but unfortunately, after hundreds of years of fading and damage, the content is difficult to read.

"System, can you analyze these ancient characters?"

The system regrets to inform you that there is no relevant corpus to support this.

Shen Li stared at the dense ancient text, then paused slightly, narrowing his long, fox-like eyes as if deep in thought.

Shen Tang turned the pages one by one, until near the end of the book, when she finally saw the prophetic painting recording the day of the vampire's demise—

A great fire destroyed everything.

The pure white palace was burned to a crisp.

Crows and bats circled overhead, devouring the corpses and blood on the ground.

The sky was dyed crimson.

The revelers stole the vampire's most precious treasure.

However, this is not the final prophecy.

Shen Tang continued flipping through the pages.

But then his fingertips suddenly paused.

It stopped on the second to last page, trembling slightly.

This is the last prophecy in the book, also accompanied by an illustration. The image is very blurry, making it difficult to discern details, but two figures can be vaguely seen standing high up. One of them has spread black wings, clearly a descendant of vampires; while the other is plunging a sword into his body.

Isn't this exactly...

Did she recall the scene on the day she assassinated Necro?
original.

The prophecy foresaw all of this.

Thus, the prophecy came to an end, heralding the final demise of the vampire race.

After that, there was no further content.

There was only one blank page left, with nothing written on it.

I don't know if it was an extra page or if there was some other meaning behind it.

As Shen Tang turned to the last page, a pure white jasmine flower quietly came into view.

No one knows who tucked it into the book, or how long it has been preserved; this jasmine has transformed into a lifelike specimen, silent and enigmatic.

It probably has nothing to do with her.

But somehow...

This moment.

Shen Tang's nose suddenly stung with tears.

Shen Li gently pulled her into his arms and whispered comfortingly, "It's all over now, don't be sad."

"Ah."

Shen Tang gently closed the book and was about to put it back in the hidden compartment when Shen Li suddenly spoke up, "Little Tang'er, could I borrow this book again?"

Shen Tang didn't think much of it and handed the book to him.

Since the vampire clan has already disappeared, no one will read this book again. Shen Li has always enjoyed studying these rare and obscure ancient books, and he probably wants to explore their secrets.

Unfortunately, the ancient script of the vampires has long been lost, and its meaning remains undecipherable.

The two then headed to the forbidden area of ​​the vampires.

The yellow sand still blankets the land, and the lost ancient temple stands silently in the sea of ​​sand, unmoved for hundreds of years.

Sensing the approaching unfamiliar presence, another thunderous roar erupted from the depths of the desert as the enormous skeletal beast burst forth from the sand, blocking the entrance to the palace.

It could barely support its body, with many bones broken. It struggled to stand up, but collapsed to the ground with a thud, like a pile of shattered bones.

The red light within the skull dimmed slightly.

For some reason, Shen Tang could see a trace of grievance and frustration in those emotionless, bony eyes.

It lay on the ground, letting out a weak, low howl at the approaching creature, like an ordinary wild beast on the verge of death.

Shen Tang stepped forward and took out the blood bead from her spatial storage.

The bone beast, which had been weakly roaring, suddenly stopped upon seeing the blood bead.

Its crimson eyes stared intently at the blood droplet. After a moment, it looked up and let out a long, mournful howl that echoed for a long time.

Shen Tang could almost imagine that if it were still alive, it would probably be shedding tears right now.

Unfortunately, bone beasts don't have tears.

It stopped attacking the two and slowly retreated, clearing the path to the gate.

Shen Tang did not enter the room immediately.

She walked to the ancient beast's side, and as she raised her hand, a gentle healing power slowly emerged.

The shimmering light transformed into fine threads, wrapping around the broken bones of the bone beast and patiently piecing them back together. Soon, the bone beast regained its former majestic and towering appearance, its bone wings flapping and raising clouds of dust.

And this is not the end.

New flesh and blood gradually grew from the bones that had been dead for many years!
Flesh covered the skeleton, then skin, hair and scales grew... This long-dead bone beast was resurrected in its former appearance!
