A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 629 Reunion

[Host, be careful! A strong strangulation energy fluctuation has been detected below. It should be a seal set up by multiple powerful individuals. It will kill any living thing that tries to enter or leave the abyss!] The system issued an urgent warning.

Shen Tang immediately probed with his spiritual power and discovered the secret of the seal.

It turns out that this seal, which can continuously release energy and form a net-like strangulation array, is because ninety-nine devices for storing supernatural energy are embedded in the stone wall.

Her gaze sharpened, and her mental energy instantly locked onto the location, unleashing countless ice blades that shot out directly at the stone wall where the devices were located.

Boom!

Explosions echoed from the cliff face, boulders rolled down, and the device was destroyed.

Just as the strangulation array was about to engulf Shen Tang, the seal dissipated.

boom!
Shen Tang crashed heavily to the bottom of the abyss.

The surrounding area was littered with fallen rocks.

She staggered to her feet, but tripped over something and almost fell again.

"Hiss..." She steadied herself, wincing in pain.

Even with superpowers protecting him, falling from such a height would be quite painful. His clothes were torn, his elbows and knees were covered in bruises and bleeding, and his bones and flesh ached.

She quickly used her healing abilities to alleviate her injuries, which gave her time to look around.

The bottom of the abyss was pitch black, without a trace of light. She spread her mental energy out like a spider web, slowly probing, only to find that what had almost tripped her seemed to be a bone, shaped like a skull, half of which was broken.

The air was filled with a sticky, foul, bloody smell. After only a few breaths, her nasal cavity felt sore and her throat itched, causing her to cough several times.

A biting cold wind, seemingly coming from nowhere, made her hair stand on end—a biological warning of danger.

"call……"

A deep, resonant sound, like the panting of an ancient behemoth, slowly drifted from overhead.

Shen Tang gasped for breath, unable to escape in time. A huge black shadow pounced on her and slammed her to the ground!
"what!"

The opponent was too fast and incredibly strong; the overwhelming pressure made it difficult for her to resist.

Her back was cut by rubble, and the giant beast's sharp claws pressed down on her, instantly tearing her clothes and flesh, as if it would rip her apart in the next second!
Shen Tang's face contorted in pain, turning deathly pale, and she was drenched in cold sweat.

She looked up in horror and met a pair of dark golden beast eyes.

My breath stopped instantly!

The long-lost fear and the breath of death were so close that her mind went blank and her whole body trembled!
The scorching, bloody breath of the ferocious beast sprayed onto my face.

It was so close, its dark golden pupils churning with madness and violence, clearly reflecting her image.

Those eyes... were almost as big as her head!

As expected, monsters lurk at the bottom of the abyss!

What exactly is this?
Shen Tang instinctively felt fear, but for some reason, as she stared into those crazed, dark golden beast eyes, she felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Even at this critical moment of life and death, she did not immediately use her supernatural power to fight back, but instead, as if possessed, she reached out and gently touched it.

A warm, even slightly scalding sensation came from my palm—the body of a wild beast covered in soft fur. But its fur was matted together with blood and grime, suggesting how long it had been imprisoned in this abyss.

"Who are you?"

She asked softly, her voice trembling with pain, but the fear gradually dissipated, as if the person in front of her was someone familiar and close.

The ferocious beast stared intently at its vulnerable prey beneath its claws, a hint of doubt seemingly flashing in its eyes.

It has been here for so long and killed countless things, but this is the first time it has encountered such a weak prey, so weak that even killing her would be a waste of time.

What was even more unexpected was that this small prey dared to reach out and touch it?

The black aura surrounding the ferocious beast suddenly surged, and its killing intent soared, ready to finish off this reckless creature.

Sensing the danger, Shen Tang instantly conjured an ice blade and stabbed forward, forcing the ferocious beast to retreat a few steps.

She tried to turn over and escape, but the shadowy figure pounced on her again the next second!

It was so fast that there was no time to react! That claw, imbued with the power of lightning, shattered the ice wall she had hastily erected.

Shen Tang was thrown back by the blast wave, tumbling several meters before narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.

But the familiar power of lightning made her heart pound, not out of fear, but out of an indescribable joy.

An urgent warning from the system rang in his mind: [Host, be careful! Don't be distracted! Target's berserk value has been detected rapidly increasing, exceeding 100%!]

The system's voice was filled with unprecedented terror.

This is the first time in a long time that they have encountered an orc with a berserk value of 100%!
so horrible!

This means it has completely lost control, turning into a frenzied, bloodthirsty killing machine, beyond saving!
Seeing pure white spiritual threads appear around Shen Tang, the system exclaimed in surprise, "[Host, you want to mentally soothe it?!]"

But that's almost impossible! If Shen Tang still had her old S-level mental strength, there might be a glimmer of hope, but now her mental strength is far from recovered, and it's impossible for her to appease this completely deranged beast!
"How will I know if I don't try? Besides, I sensed a similar aura to Xiao Jin from it."

No, it's not just similar, it's almost identical.

Based on this alone, even if it's impossible, Shen Tang has to give it a try!
She wanted to figure out what was going on.

Explosions echoed continuously in the abyss, boulders tumbled down from above, and countless cracks appeared in the surrounding rock walls. Shen Tang dodged the ferocious attacks while searching for an opportunity to approach the mad beast.

Finally, she seized the opportunity, leaped up, clung to the back of the enormous creature, and released pure white spiritual threads with all her might, wrapping the mad beast like a cocoon.

At this moment, the black panther was shrouded in thick black mist, making it difficult to discern its beastly form. All that could be seen were its burning dark golden beast eyes, radiating a chilling ferocity.

The mad beast roared in fury and suddenly flung the person on its back off.

boom!
Shen Tang crashed heavily into the pile of rocks, half of her body buried, but she didn't even utter a sound. Almost instantly, she got up and rushed towards the mad beast again, looking for an opportunity to make contact and continue to inject her spiritual power.

Under her tenacious and almost indestructible entanglement, the black aura on the ferocious beast was actually dispelled to some extent, gradually revealing its true form, which was none other than a strong and slender black leopard.

The moment Shen Tang vaguely saw the beast-like shape, her unrealistic guess seemed to come true.

Her eyes welled up with tears, her heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand, and she almost cried out that name, but now was not the time.

She was like a dying traveler in the desert who finally caught sight of a distant oasis. Even if it was just a mirage, it gave her the power to transcend her limits.

Shen Tang gritted his teeth, ignoring the bloody smell filling his mouth, and almost recklessly poured his mental energy into the mad beast's body.

Her spiritual energy in her sea of ​​consciousness was depleted time and time again, yet she forcibly squeezed out even more each time.

The tender buds of the spirit tree were almost withered, but after the two leaves at the front withered, more new leaves sprouted and it slowly grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But humans are not gods. When her supernatural powers were completely drained, Shen Tang could no longer hold on and was thrown out again, collapsing in the ruins.

She was in pain from every part of her body, from her limbs to her internal organs, yet she couldn't muster even a trace of healing power and lay motionless among the rubble.

The heavy footsteps drew closer again.

Shen Tang looked up and met those dark, savage golden eyes once again, which still gleamed with madness and bloodlust.

She felt numb all over, and despair welled up inside her.

...Did it still fail?
However, unexpectedly, the black panther did not attack again.

Those ferocious, beastly eyes suppressed their bloodlust and let out a low, hoarse growl.

"If you don't want to die, get out!"

It turned and ran off in another direction, as if lingering even a second longer would tempt it to kill the frail female. Watching its departing figure, Shen Tang couldn't help but call out, "Ah Jin!"

Ignoring her injuries, she quickly took out a recovery potion from her spatial storage and drank it. She then struggled to her feet and staggered after him.

The black panther's aura, its energy fluctuations, even its hoarse voice that sounded like it had been polished by sand and gravel... all carried a trace of familiarity.

He is clearly Xiao Jin!
Shen Tang wanted to chase after her, but it was too dark around her, and she almost tripped over the rough gravel.

Shen Tang hurriedly took out a specially made tinderbox from her spatial storage. It was given to her by Shen Li before, and it contained a wisp of foxfire, which could be used in emergencies or as a source of fire that would never go out.

A wisp of foxfire flickered, illuminating the pitch-black abyss. Shen Tang followed the remaining footprints on the ground and the scent in the air, searching for the source.

The black panther arrived at a place covered with animal hides and hay.

The animal hides were clearly skinned alive from their prey without any processing; they were still covered in rotting flesh and emitted a foul stench.

The black panther curled up there, emitting suppressed, painful low whimpers.

There were some broken iron chains scattered around it, which seemed to have been used to lock it up, but it had broken free.

Seeing this, Shen Tang's eyes welled up with tears, and she choked back sobs as she approached step by step, "Ah Jin, is that you? I can't be mistaken, right..."

"Roar!"

The black panther looked up and roared at her, its expression full of intent to drive her away.

Although it had barely regained a sliver of its sanity, it was still on the verge of going berserk and could lose control again at any moment, tearing apart everything in its path.

Shen Tang did not back down at all, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to hurt you, I'm here to help you, I can help you heal."

The black panther stood up, baring its sharp teeth and letting out a threatening growl, already assuming an attack stance.

But it suppressed its urge to attack, and a sliver of reason stirred with doubt.

Why does this female know his name?

Does she know him?

What is the relationship between them?
Head hurts.

The pain was so intense, it felt like my body was being torn apart... I couldn't remember many things.

In his chaotic and fragmented memories, he was imprisoned in this hellish place, forced to suppress the out-of-control power within him through endless killing.

Seeing the black panther seemingly in a state of confusion, clutching its head in pain and collapsing to the ground howling, Shen Tang immediately seized the opportunity to approach, gently placing her hand on its head and injecting her spiritual energy once more.

After being tempered countless times, the Spirit Tree has grown into a small tree over a meter tall. Shen Tang can now mobilize more spiritual power and more easily dispel the black aura on the black panther.

The madness in its eyes gradually faded, revealing a trace of human clarity.

The black panther gradually calmed down.

Success...

?
Shen Tang held her breath, waiting for its reaction.

Black Panther stood up and looked at Shen Tang.

Its eyes were no longer wild, but cold and unfamiliar, devoid of any emotion.

The smile on Shen Tang's pale face slowly froze, her heart sinking deeper and deeper. She tentatively whispered, "Ah Jin..."

Black Panther's eyes remained unmoved, filled only with irritation and ferocity. He coldly uttered a single word, "Get lost."

"If you don't get out of here, I'll kill you."

He remembered.

he is sick.

They were abandoned here by their family.

He couldn't understand why such a weak female, possessing mental power, would appear in the abyss.

This mental energy could temporarily alleviate his symptoms, but it could not cure the root cause. He did not know when he would go insane again.

He is the abandoned, cursed child who kills all living things he sees when he goes mad. Everyone should stay far away from him and let him rot alone in this hellish abyss!
Shen Tang stood frozen in place, her heart clenching as if gripped tightly, a bittersweet pain churning within her. Her lips trembled, barely able to utter a coherent sentence.

Unable to hold back her tears any longer, she sobbed uncontrollably, "You...you don't recognize me? Have you forgotten me?"

There was no way she would admit her mistake.

How could she possibly admit her mistake?

If Yue Lin's appearance was a coincidence, it's understandable that she mistook Yun Han for someone else since she didn't have much contact with him.

How could she possibly admit her mistake to her partner of many years?
Right in front of me is Xiao Jin.

How could he not recognize her?
The black panther was extremely impatient, but when he saw the female's bloodshot eyes and the large tears rolling down her cheeks, he suddenly froze.

Why is she crying?
Black Panther has regained some of his senses and remembered some things.

He was certain he didn't know this female and had no connection with her, so why could she call out his name and be so sad?

"...I don't know you, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Black Panther coldly uttered these words and turned to leave again.

He could feel the uncontrollable power within him surging again, the urge to tear everything apart and destroy the world was roaring!
Shen Tang quickly followed, "Many of your wounds have become infected and festering. Let me at least treat them for you first."

Having come all this way, she couldn't possibly leave so easily.

Seeing that the female was still following, the black panther growled impatiently, "Don't make me say it a second time! If you follow me again, I'll kill you right now!"

After saying that, it condensed a ball of lightning around its body and slammed it into the mountain wall to the side!
The high rock wall was shattered, and countless boulders rolled down, instantly forming a stone wall that separated the two.

Shen Tang was forced to take a few steps back, almost getting smashed into a pulp. Looking at the small mountain-like stone wall in front of her, she felt increasingly uncertain.

……

The black panther dragged its wounded body slowly to a secluded corner and lay down wearily.

When he was at his most out of control, he couldn't feel any pain. Now that he's regained some clarity, he realizes that he's covered in injuries.

In truth, these injuries meant nothing to him; after years of endless battles and death, he had long since grown accustomed to them.

However, the wounds repeatedly became infected and could not heal in time, with new wounds appearing each time, causing the injuries to never fully heal and turning into a slow torment.

Black Panther glanced up in a certain direction, but the slender figure did not reappear.

It seems the female finally learned her lesson and didn't follow.

That's right.

That's right.

He is a cursed child abandoned here, a monster that could go out of control at any moment. Everyone should stay away from him; anyone who tries to get close will be harmed.

No one in this world dares to approach him.

But just then, a faint sound came from ahead again.
