The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 74 Falling short of success

Ling Chengen stood in front of Chong Zhen, pushed the obstructing Chong Zhen aside, broke a stone in half with his bare hands, and launched it at great speed at the person hiding in the shadows.

The moment Chang Tianchen heard Ling Chengen's voice, he suddenly vanished from his spot, and the bone blade forged from the bones of the beast tore through the fleeing crowd, shooting straight towards the place where supplies were piled up like lightning.

Ling Chengen didn't even turn around; he simply raised his hand and grabbed the bone blade that had passed right in front of him.

Even as the enemy shot out several poisoned thorns, she did not retreat in the slightest. She stepped forward and slashed at the thief who had attacked her with a hidden arrow.

The weapons clashed, producing an extremely loud metallic clang.

Chongzhen looked at the supplies that had suddenly disappeared with a look of horror on his face, but he quickly calmed down and began to use his superpowers to seal off the surrounding stone walls and ground.

When he sensed that the entire cave was enveloped by several unfamiliar earth-based supernatural abilities, large beads of sweat instantly streamed down his forehead.

“They have a lot of people, at least four of them are earth-type ability users of a higher level than me.” Chongzhen was sweating profusely as he looked up to remind Ling Chengen, “I can only hold them off for a few breaths, hurry up.”

Seeing that Chongzhen's face was deathly pale, Ling Chengen realized that he wasn't afraid, but rather that his supernatural power was being rapidly depleted.

In order to hold off the thieves who hadn't left in time, he spared no effort to exhaust his supernatural powers, single-handedly resisting four orcs lurking around him, all of whom had higher supernatural abilities than him.

"What's there to be afraid of? A few breaths will be enough."

A sinister voice suddenly rang out from the shadows, followed by bursts of flames emerging from the ground, licking at the two petty thieves who were trying to escape using the rocky cliffs.

Seeing that Chang Tianchen had silently appeared behind the two, Ling Chengen breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious. He then took the Heart Stone from Chong Zhen's waist and stuffed it into his hand: "Use the power of the Heart Stone and absorb it with all your might."

"Use your superpowers to widen several superpower channels near the heart."

Ling Chengen didn't speak, but used his mental abilities to remind Chongzhen, who was almost drained dry.

The moment Chongzhen grasped the high-grade earth-elemental heart stone, without Ling Chengen's step-by-step guidance, he instinctively began to absorb the enormous energy within it.

This heart stone is close to level eight, and can barely be considered a level eight heart stone.

The proportion of gravity is two levels higher than the true level of superpower. If it were absorbed during normal cultivation, it could instantly destroy most of the superpower channels in his heart.

But at this moment, he had almost exhausted the stored superpowers in his body. After the power of the level eight heart stone was injected, it was like the rushing river during the flood season, filling his dried-up and shrunken channels again. In addition, his superpowers were constantly being output...

For a short period of time, it is barely possible to maintain a balance.

However, Shigeaki knew very well that this couldn't last long.

If his body is completely filled with supernatural energy within five minutes, and he cannot release more supernatural energy, the power of the level eight heart stone will instantly destroy his foundation.

five minutes……

He knelt on one knee, his hand pressed tightly against the ground, controlling the absorption of the Heart Stone's energy while also keeping an eye on several other ability users who wanted to help the two escape.

He thought he could.

If he hadn't gotten involved with Ling Chengen, he would have strived for steady progress in every step he took in his life, and wouldn't have dared to try anything dangerous.

But if you want to stand by her side and become a collaborator who can be noticed and valued by her.

He can't always be so obedient and cautious, like a tortoise.

Break and stand.

Sensing the direction of the four superhumans, he immediately made up his mind. Instead of slowing down his absorption of the Heart Stone's energy, he increased his demand for the energy within the Heart Stone and controlled his superhuman ability to extend outward, like a sharp blade, stabbing towards the enemy huddled inside the rock.

The shaking of the cave suddenly stopped for a moment, and a falling rock hit him on the head, causing him to bleed profusely. However, his body did not sway at all, and he did not even spare a moment's attention to his injuries.

Ling Chengen and Chang Tianchen joined forces to surround the two people in the corner.

Chang Tianchen looked at the female protected by a level nine earth-type ability and said with a slight tilt of his head, "There are no signs of ability fluctuations on her."

Ling Chengen nodded: "I know this person."

Although she was talking to Chang Tianchen, it didn't stop her from carrying out her dirty tricks.

Ling Chengen ignored the level nine earth-type ability user and pounced directly at him.

The woman hiding behind the superhuman's pupils contracted, then dilated the next second. She stood there blankly, blood slowly flowing from her eyes, mouth, nose, and ears.

While resisting Chang Tianchen's superpowered attacks, the superhuman also tried to assimilate the rocks around him, hoping to push the woman behind him into the rocks he had assimilated and use the opportunity to escape.

Ling Chengen kicked the stone wall blocking his way to the ground, shattered it with one kick, and wielded the bone blade in his left hand, slashing at the resisting male beastman. Suddenly, he grabbed the woman by the neck with his right hand, pulled her to his side, and as he retreated, he kicked the level nine earth-type beastman away, sending him flying into the raging sea of ​​fire set up by Chang Tianchen.

Just as she was pulling back with the woman by the throat, a golden blade suddenly burst through the stone wall and stabbed towards her back.

Chongzhen's pupils constricted, and his first reaction was to get up and block it.

However, the next second, a feather tinged with blue flames shot from the side, deflecting the attacking metal blade.

The blue flames landed, and the figure of a blue crane materialized, its sharp beak piercing through the stone wall and embedding itself in the attacker's shoulder.

As a splatter of blood landed on Bai Xi's face, his eyes suddenly turned cold and sinister.

The crane's long, straight legs, in the instant they were raised, had their sharp claws tear the stone wall to pieces.

In that instant, the attacker, who was instinctively retreating, was suddenly struck in the back by an earth-based energy, and his body was thrown forward.

Just as he was about to be ejected from the stone wall, a hand grabbed his shoulder and pulled him off the bird's beak as Bai Xi retreated. However, his left hand, which was thrown off the stone wall, was severed by a flying blade.

The icy, beast-bone blade whizzed past the beak of the White Stream Bird, leaving behind a severed arm and a spray of blood.

A faint, painful howl emanated from within the stone wall.

Ling Chengen gripped the woman's throat tightly with one hand, facing the stone wall, and threatened with extreme ferocity, "If you don't stop, I'll smash her skull with one punch."

She placed her right hand on the woman's head, quietly watching the cave slowly stop shaking.

He then sneered, and without turning his head, kicked away the Heart Stone in Chongzhen's hand, whose light was growing increasingly faint.

Without the supply of supernatural power, Chongzhen immediately collapsed to the ground, exhausted and fainting.

With a burnt, blood-stained gourd stuck to the tip of its tail, Chang Tianchen slowly swayed to Ling Chengen's side, closed its eyes, and sensed the energy fluctuations around the cave: "I'm leaving."

"But we lost half of our supplies."

Bai Xi looked back at the supplies that were only half left and said with a solemn expression.

Ling Chengen handed the woman to Chang Tianchen: "Don't kill her, the supplies are in her hands."

Chang Tianchen originally wanted to snap the throat of the woman bleeding from all seven orifices, but upon hearing Ling Chengen's words, he immediately raised an eyebrow: "Her? She couldn't even defend against one of my attacks, and she doesn't have any special abilities. How did she manage to steal so many supplies?"

"Only two people came in, and they're all in our hands. Do you think supplies can grow legs and run away?"

Ling Chengen bent down to help Chong Zhen up from the ground, pulled the bone blade stuck in the stone wall with his left hand, tucked it behind his back, and looked up at Chang Tianchen, saying, "Although she doesn't have any supernatural power fluctuations, I estimate she has a space that can store supplies." "Who exactly is this female?" Chang Tianchen asked in confusion.

Has he been living in seclusion for too long and become completely disconnected from the outside world?

Ling Chengen's special ability already puzzled him.

What kind of space does this female, who doesn't exhibit any special abilities, actually possess?
What kind of existence is it exactly?
"You're not dead, are you?" Ling Chengen didn't have time to explain to Chang Tianchen. He raised his hand and slapped Chong Zhen's face twice, just like Ling Xiaoxi had done to wake her up. "Say no one if you're not dead."

After a long while, Chongzhen rested his head on her shoulder, slowly opened his eyes, and sighed, "Couldn't you be a little gentler? I'm completely drained..."

"I think you want to die." Ling Chengen originally wanted to throw him off, but considering that his physical strength was critically low, he still steadily carried him on his shoulder. "I asked you to absorb the power of the Heart Stone to replenish your lost supernatural ability, but you... you want to drain the Heart Stone completely and use your level six supernatural ability to fight against four earth-type beastmen who are higher level than you!"

"If you want to die, just say so now, and I can give you a friendly stab to make your death more painless."

Seeing her serious expression and the merciless scolding, Chongzhen couldn't help but say awkwardly, "I was just trying to buy time, and I made a big contribution this time, so you can't scold me anymore."

Ling Chengen: "..."

Bai Xi rolled her eyes indifferently and directed the orcs who had run back to protect the supplies to move the supplies out of the cave.

The cave was still not very safe. Most of the orcs instinctively ran out when the cave shook and rocks fell, thinking it was an earthquake.

It turned out to be a scheme orchestrated by several earth-elemental ability users.

Because they still had this special female in their hands, and they figured the other party wouldn't give up easily, Bai Xi didn't dare to gamble again and could only have the supply team transfer the goods out.

As for the missing half of the supplies...

Since Ling Chengen was so certain about this female, he had nothing to worry about.

With her in their hands, why would they worry that she wouldn't spit out what she's holding?

Ling Chengen prepared to carry Zhong Zhen out.

Chongzhen stood still, looking down at the heart stone that had rolled into the corner.

"We need to pick that up; we haven't finished using it yet."

Ling Chengen looked at the Heart Stone, which was almost completely dull, and said calmly, "I've used up most of it. I'll give you more next time I hunt down other earth-type Heart Stones."

Chongzhen didn't move, stubbornly pointing in that direction: "It's different."

"That was the first high-grade Heartstone you ever gave me. I'm planning to keep it as a keepsake."

Ling Chengen was speechless at his persistence, so he could only use his supernatural tentacles to grab him back and casually stuff him into his arms: "I didn't know you were such a sentimental person? When you moved here from Yaoluo, why didn't you move all that messy stuff from your house here with you?"

Despite her complaints, she still carried the person out.

Chongzhen let out a soft breath and stuffed the Heart Stone back into the animal skin pouch at his waist: "How can they be the same?"

"This is a token of our love."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chengen immediately left Gang Feng beside him as soon as he stepped out of the cave, his face dark with anger.

Gangfeng caught the falling Shigema, and seeing him covered in sweat and with a face as white as a corpse, he asked in shock, "Are you going to die?"

Shigeaki rolled his eyes indifferently, then leaned against Gangfeng and closed his eyes.

"I think you'd love for me to die, wouldn't you?"

"May Lao Tzu live as long as the heavens!"

He called out weakly, his head lolled to the side, and he fainted again.

Gang Feng stared at this idiot with a black line on his forehead, but in the end he still spread out the animal skin blanket that Ling Chengen had thrown over, carefully placed the person on the blanket, and got up to find the wood-type ability beastman accompanying the team to treat his wounds.

……

Inside the cave, Ling Chengen picked up the severed arm, turned to look at Chang Tianchen behind him, then glanced at the woman in his hand that looked like a tattered sack, and said with a twitching mouth, "Can't you take her with you? Do you really treat her like an accessory? Carrying her everywhere you go?"

"Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on her?"

Chang Tianchen looked at Ling Chengen with a leisurely air, his tail tapping slowly and rhythmically behind him. His long, strong fingers held the woman by the neck, and he said in a serious tone, "When the other party launched the sneak attack, they brought so many high-level earth-type ability users. I grabbed her, and she couldn't put her down. If those people wanted to take her back, they would have to come to us in person."

"And another thing, you haven't told me yet! What exactly is this female's identity?"

Ling Chengen sighed deeply, looked at the half-dead woman, and said, "The chieftain's wife of the Snow Wolf Tribe."

"I think her name is...Bea?" Ling Chengen couldn't quite remember the name.

She had seen this woman once before, during the night raid. She had seen Su Weihua's father protecting a frail woman from afar. Half of the woman's face was not in shadow, and her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and beautiful, giving her the appearance of a delicate and boneless little white flower.

Moreover, the woman's skin was very fair, like a greenhouse bud untouched by wind and rain. Unlike most orcs struggling to survive in the beast world, she had no traces of the struggle for survival on her body, and was a well-protected woman.

She didn't pay attention to this person before.

But a few words that Su Weihua casually reminded her made her realize that this woman was a little different from others.

Their combat strength is very poor.

But to be able to live so well in such a terrible environment as the Beast World.

Then we'll have to be extra careful.

Most importantly, she was very tempted by the storage space that this woman might have on her.

I was originally planning to wait until I defeated the Snow Wolf Tribe and captured this parasitic woman before I could obtain the space.

I never expected that these audacious creatures from the Snow Wolf Tribe would dare to disguise themselves as wandering orcs to steal.

Moreover, so many high-level earth-type ability users were mobilized at once.

It seems that Su Kang is truly wary of the Hanshan and Shilin tribes uniting.

Ling Chengen picked up the severed arm from the ground, not at all disgusted by the blood in his hand, and walked out with the severed limb: "Come with me, I'm going to burn this arm."

This is the severed limb of the Snow Wolf Clan Chief.

Actually, if we take it back, the witch doctor might be able to reattach it.

But was she really that good a person?

She's a notorious vile woman!
