A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 625 Superpower Recovery!

Shen Tang turned around, and several unfamiliar, burly male beasts had already surrounded her. Their eyes were filled with excitement and wicked thoughts, so greasy it was nauseating.

When they saw Shen Tang's face clearly, their eyes lit up with intense amazement.

What a beautiful female!
It looked beautiful enough from afar, but upon closer inspection, it made their throats dry and caused them to unconsciously swallow.

You have to understand, in a wasteland like this, it's almost impossible to encounter such fair and beautiful females. Even if females do appear, they're usually with strong groups. But this one looks like she's all alone, practically covered in the words "fat" written all over her.

The lead male beast chuckled, "Little sister, all alone here? Want to join my group?"

"It's too much suffering for the females to be here alone. They should stay at home and rest. The males can handle the dirty and tiring work."

"As long as you join us obediently, we will definitely pamper you and never let you suffer."

Shen Tang narrowed her eyes, watching them get closer and closer, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

Just then, the tall, thin man in charge suddenly pulled out some powder and threw it at her.

This powder was bought on the black market; it has hallucinogenic and intoxicating effects. Even a high-ranking male would instantly become weak and paralyzed, losing all fighting ability, if he smelled it, let alone a delicate female.

They couldn't bear to lay a hand on such a beautiful female; if they hurt her delicate skin, how could they enjoy themselves later?

However, the moment the powder was sprinkled, an ice wall suddenly rose up in front of the female, easily blocking this shady method.

Immediately afterwards, the ice wall shattered, turning into countless ice blades that flew straight towards them!
The five or six burly men didn't even have time to scream before they were pierced by the ice blades, riddled with holes, and fell straight to the ground. Their bodies were mangled and unrecognizable, and their blood soaked the scorched earth.

Watching its host's increasingly skillful killing moves, the system couldn't help but praise, "[Host is so cool! You're practically a natural trap in the wasteland~ This is already the third team to run into the line of fire, a free tool to give away points.]"

Hunting down mutants is nowhere as fast as directly grabbing points.

Orc groups in the wasteland were usually very cautious, trying to avoid other groups. But with such a beautiful and seemingly harmless little female like the host standing there, like an innocent little rabbit, the males lowered their guard and, like moths to a flame, came to her without even having to look for her.

"That's what they call 'lust is a knife above one's head.'" Shen Tang had previously considered wearing a mask to conceal her identity, but later found that her original appearance was more effective.

People should learn to utilize their own strengths, and physical attractiveness is also part of the strategy.

She removed the bracelet from the corpse's wrist, successfully gaining points, and used her ice-type ability again to freeze them into ice sculptures.

He clasped his hands together.

With a loud bang, the ice sculpture shattered, leaving not even a corpse behind.

Shen Tang looked at the points on her bracelet.

In just a few days, she has accumulated six million points.

For others, this speed is beyond their reach, but for Shen Tang, it is far from enough.

She needs more points!
Shen Tang opened the system map again, and a golden dot marked her current location.

She has gradually moved away from the purification zone controlled by the Yue family and is heading towards the wasteland in the north. That area is close to the territory of the Leopard Clan, one of the top ruling powers on this planet.

Shen Tang didn't know much about the Leopard Clan, and it was difficult to find relevant information online. Most of the information he found online consisted of boring official documents, some of which were even from more than twenty years ago.

In recent years, the media seems to have fallen silent. No one dares to spread news about the Leopard Clan. They don't even know who the young leader of the clan is, and no information has been leaked to the outside world.

In contrast, the Yue family of the wolf clan is much more casual. You can even find photos online of the young master of the Yue family being held by his beast father when he was a child, with cream on his nose and his lips being licked.

That's a bit of a tangent. But Shen Tang always felt that the Leopard Clan's control over information was strangely strict.

Of course, it's also possible that the higher-ups don't like their private affairs being exposed, and Shen Tang didn't care to delve into it; it wasn't something she should worry about.

Shen Tang continued studying the map and routes. To the north of the Yue family's controlled area was the territory of the Leopard Hunting Clan, and to the south was the area controlled by the Parasite Clan.

Actually, from a route perspective, it would be closer to reach the Serpent Clan by taking a detour to the south.

But Shen Tang has recently heard a lot of news that the situation of the parasitic race is special and very mysterious, and is also known as the most dangerous place on the planet.

The contaminated areas there are different from other places. There are few mutated species, but instead, they are covered with thorny vines and mutated plants. Even high-level contaminated species can only become food there.

I've heard that none of the orcs who went there ever came back alive.

As Shen Tang listened, it felt... somewhat similar to Fu Teng's situation?

Could he be connected to the parasites?

Unfortunately, his fate is now unknown.

Thinking of the plant, Shen Tang felt a little down. Although the plant was heartless and almost killed her once, she had indeed done a lot afterward to make up for her past mistakes.

I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see him again.

Back to the present, Shen Tang felt that the Parasite-controlled area sounded too mysterious and dangerous, and she also heard that they would have to pass through Sky City later.

Sky City, a gathering place for criminal gangs, is filled with various shady and illegal areas, known as the illegal zone, and its level of danger is no less than that of the Parasite Zone.

Taking the southern route is too risky.

Shen Tang decided to go around to the north.

During his journey, Shen Tang did not forget to hunt down mutated species to earn points.

The higher the level of the mutant, the higher the score. There is only one level difference between the tenth and ninth tiers, but the score is nearly ten times higher.

Shen Tang desperately needs points right now. If she wants to directly gain access to the royal city, she'll probably need an astronomical amount of points.

She can only kill as many mutants as possible to earn more points.

Shen Tang was not satisfied with the low-level mutants on the outskirts of the wasteland and had been trying to go deep into the central area to hunt down stronger beings.

Along the way, the level of pollution she encountered became higher and higher, from the initial eighth and ninth levels to almost all of them being ten levels or higher!

Weak mutants simply cannot survive in heavily polluted wastelands; they will only become food for higher-level beings.

Later, Shen Tang even encountered a mutated species with strength equivalent to a Yuan Beast!
It is practically the overlord of this area, having devoured countless mutated species, making it extremely powerful and brutal.

Shen Tang and it engaged in a fierce battle for three days and three nights.

Both sides were badly injured.

Just as Shen Tang was about to exhaust her energy and win, a powerful team suddenly appeared, surrounding her and the mutant, hoping to outmaneuver her.

The orcs who can break into the heavily polluted wasteland are undoubtedly strong. They are also ruthless and merciless, with only battle and points in their eyes. They show no mercy to females.

Moreover, Shen Tang's formidable combat prowess makes him a threat to them.

They not only wanted to seize this overlord-level mutant, but also wanted to kill Shen Tang and plunder her points!

Shen Tang's eyes were calm and cold as he swept over the team that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "If you want to die, then make your move."

The orc leader sneered, "You're already at your last gasp, what are you pretending for? Brothers, let's attack together and kill her!"

Plunder and death are constant occurrences here. Shen Tang is used to it, having experienced numerous ambushes and assassinations, and naturally has his own backup plans.

As the orcs charged forward, they stepped on something, and several loud explosions followed. Several bombs exploded on the ground, sending dust billowing into the sky and obscuring the view.

The next second, an ice blade suddenly condensed in the air and instantly pierced through the chest of an orc.

"what!"

The orc only had time to let out a short scream before he was pinned to the ground.

"Roar!"

"She's there, let's go together!"

The captain's clothes ripped off, transforming him into a terrifying brown bear. He angrily pounded his chest, and a giant ball of earth condensed from his paws, which he then smashed towards Shen Tang.

Shen Tang's eyes showed nostalgia, and her voice was even colder, "Earth-type superpowers... are far inferior to what I was back then."

She deftly dodged the attack, and then another ice blade shot out, piercing the opponent's arm.

The brown bear's right arm froze instantly, then exploded with a bang, the entire arm gone. "Ah!"

The brown bear let out a miserable howl, its eyes wide with rage, "Kill this bastard!"

Seven or eight level 10 orcs swarmed forward, their attacks ruthless and skillful, each strike deadly.

Another fierce battle ensued.

In the end, Shen Tang, with a slight advantage, successfully killed the mutated species and wiped out the entire squad, plundering their points.

But she herself was also covered in wounds and blood, her clothes were almost completely ruined, and she was practically a blood-soaked person.

Shen Tang took out a recovery potion from his spatial storage, skillfully drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and continued to venture deeper into the space.

Without hesitation, without the slightest retreat.

Deep footprints were left on the ground.

The cycle of day and night never ceases.

Shen Tang's points on her bracelet gradually exceeded ten million, then twenty million, thirty million, forty million...

Her injuries have barely healed.

Even the most advanced recovery potions can't compare to healing abilities; wounds take time to heal. But Shen Tang didn't give herself a chance to catch her breath; old wounds hadn't healed before new ones appeared, and she was constantly bleeding.

The system watched all this with extreme heartache.

The host is really suffering too much and has had a very difficult time.

Ultimately, she's just a young woman in her early twenties, yet she has to shoulder so much.

Shen Tang was unaware of the system's thoughts. She didn't actually feel that she was working too hard, nor did she need anyone's pity. On the contrary, she was immersed in the battle and enjoyed the process.

In the Beast World continent, although she had experienced many battles, since becoming emperor, she spent most of her time strategizing in the palace and rarely went to the battlefield herself.

In the month she spent in the wasteland, she experienced more battles than she had in the entire Beast World continent combined, and the enemies she faced were far stronger than ever before.

In the extreme battle, Shen Tang's combat power was greatly honed.

In previous battles, she relied more on the power of her supernatural abilities, using high-level abilities to overwhelm her opponents. However, when facing enemies of the same level, she was often at a disadvantage, as her combat experience, skills, and proficiency in using her supernatural abilities were far inferior to her opponents.

Now, on this complex and harsh battlefield, tempered by extreme combat, Shen Tang has gained stronger control over his superpowers and his combat skills have improved significantly. He has integrated his superpowers and skills to unleash even greater strength!
Suddenly, Shen Tang stopped in her tracks, sensing the presence behind her.

Without turning her head, she instantly pierced the mutated creature that had just emerged from the ground with an ice blade.

Turning around, she saw a giant, loach-like mutant pinned to a rock face. To her surprise, the mutant was hundreds of meters away, making it impossible for it to have ambushed her.

But just now, she seemed to "see" it in her mind.

It's like... there are psychic tentacles helping her "see".

Shen Tang realized this and instantly held her breath.

Didn't her spiritual power disappear when the crystal core shattered?

How can it be……

She closed her eyes and tried again, and found that a familiar power was indeed emerging in her body, and a wisp of spiritual energy condensed in her palm.

Her eyes instantly lit up.

This is real!

Not an illusion? !
Although this wisp of spiritual power is much weaker than it was back then, so weak that it can almost be ignored, and even a newly awakened child might be stronger than her, spiritual power is real!

Shen Tang's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice trembled with excitement, "System, look! My mental strength seems to have returned! What's going on?"

The system was also shocked by this discovery. It quickly examined the host's body and exclaimed in surprise, "My God, this...this is truly a miracle!"

"What exactly happened? Didn't my powers disappear?"

The system suppressed its elation and patiently explained, "[Theoretically, that's how it is. The crystal core is where the body's special abilities are stored. If the crystal core shatters, the special abilities will also disappear. However, the special abilities won't completely disappear as if they never existed. Every time an orc uses their special abilities, the energy permeates their flesh and blood, always leaving a trace, and won't completely dissipate in a short time.]"

Therefore, a trace of extremely weak supernatural energy actually remains in the host's bloodline. This trace of energy is so weak that it cannot even be compared to the roots left after a tree has been cut down; it is more like a tiny, fine root remaining in the soil after a large tree has been uprooted.

Under normal circumstances, these roots would wither completely over time, with almost no chance of growing back into a large tree. Unless... they receive an extraordinary amount of nourishment!

Hearing this, Shen Tang roughly understood. The so-called "nourishment" was actually battle.

Undeniably, battles and bloodshed, especially life-or-death struggles that transcend the norm, can stimulate the supernatural power within a beast's body, making it even stronger.

The system sighed, "[Host is truly lucky! Although this tiny root has remained within your body, without sufficient nourishment, it will wither away over time, and then the host will never be able to regain their powers.]"

Although the system called it luck, it knew very well that there was no such thing as luck without a reason. The host had paid a price that was unimaginable to ordinary people for this luck.

Shen Tang looked up at the sky and smiled slowly, "So, as long as I get enough nourishment, my superpowers can slowly grow and return to their peak."

"Yes, host. With enough nourishment, the roots within you will slowly grow into new seeds and then sprout," the system said. "But this process is extremely difficult, and the chance of success is very small. The good news is that your mental energy has already condensed into a tiny sprout; the bad news is that your other abilities are still dormant and show no signs of recovery..."

Moreover, this cannot be restored using system items; it can only be restored through the host's own cultivation.

Shen Tang fell silent, lost in thought.

The system, not wanting to dampen the host's spirits and risk upsetting them again, quickly tried to soothe them: "Don't be too sad, host. You've already done amazingly! I believe in you!"

[Here's some more good news for you, host. If you can cultivate your own superpower this time, it won't be a superpower obtained through system items, but a true power that belongs to you!] The system encouraged her, excitedly saying, [Superpowers truly cultivated on your own have a higher degree of integration with your body and soul, and will be easier to use!]

The host, having grown stronger again, will definitely be more powerful than before!

Hearing this, Shen Tang felt a surge of warm hope.

Yes, she definitely can.

She always believed in herself.

This time, she will slowly cultivate her own special ability!

The system seemed to see the host radiating a dazzling light, full of vitality, no longer the lifeless figure it had been before, and felt gratified and happy.

But soon, its joy vanished, for it discovered a terrifying truth—

Ever since she fed her host this bowl of chicken soup, she's become even more energetic! Before, she would at least care about her life, but now she's practically risking her life, fighting even more fiercely than before, and even deliberately injuring herself.

This was all in order to trigger healing abilities.

The system was terrified, but no amount of persuasion could stop it.

Who is the most stubborn donkey in the world? Of course, it's its host.

The system was filled with regret, fearing that it had done something foolish and might cause its host to lose his life.

Unexpectedly, the host's reckless fighting style actually worked.

She truly succeeded in catalyzing the healing power!
The vibrant and gentle green supernatural power descended upon me, as if I were enveloped in a warm spring breeze; my pain quickly disappeared, and my wounds healed rapidly.

Even though Shen Tang's healing is only at the initial stage, its effect is better than the most advanced healing medicine!

With the healing ability, Shen Tang felt even more confident of victory.

She thrived more and more in the wasteland.

Later, a rumor circulated in the wasteland:
There was a beautiful, solitary female, like a demon crawling out of hell. Her beauty was more deadly than a poisoned poppy; she left no survivors in her wake, even the most powerful mutants perished at her hands. She was known as the "Jade-Faced Rakshasa"!
Friendly reminder: If you encounter a beautiful female alone in the wasteland, remember, never provoke her!
