Chapter 768 - 634: Strange, Why Am I Dreaming of Her?_2
The originally charging Yue Lin also suddenly stopped in his tracks; he didn’t dare break this delicate balance, fearing that if he moved, the mad beast would attack the female again.
He stared blankly at the scene before him, filled with shock and confusion, yet strangely feeling an indescribable warmth and intimacy... Do they know each other?
The chaotic battlefield seemed to have suddenly quieted down.
It was as though time had suddenly frozen, even their breaths held in suspension; no one dared approach rashly and disrupt this balance.
Shen Tang did not notice the changes outside; at this moment, she was completely focused on the black panther in front of her. The black fog was almost completely engulfing it, leaving only a pair of bloodshot dark-gold vertical pupils, filled with madness.
It let out a low, suppressed growl in its throat, as if warning her to leave.
Yet Shen Tang did not retreat a single step, slowly walking towards it and lightly touching its cheek with her hand.
Her gentle and pure spiritual power transformed into thousands of white threads, gently dispelling the black aura surrounding it.
It was about to succeed!
Just as Shen Tang was about to feel happy, she suddenly caught a strange scent drifting over. Instinctively turning her head, she saw a shadow swiftly flash through the crowd.
Her heart tightened; before she could react, the black panther, which seemed about to calm down, suddenly went mad again and launched a direct attack on her!
"Ah—" This time, Shen Tang was unprepared, cruelly sent flying to the ground by Thunder Power, her body severely injured, her face contorted with pain.
"Ah Jin!" She couldn’t bother with healing, struggling to get up and shout at the mad beast.
But the beast couldn’t hear a thing. It went berserk, overturning hundreds of Beastmen, causing a bloody path to charge out of the city, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The crowd quickly chased after it, but the mad beast’s speed was too fast for anyone to catch up.
Shen Tang quickly healed her injuries and hurried to pursue it; Xiao Jin must wake up quickly, or once the Royal City’s large troop arrives, there will be no saving him!
Fortunately, when she made contact earlier, she had preemptively placed a spiritual power mark in its body, allowing her to track the black panther’s escape path, directly teleporting there using the Rabbit Token.
Shen Tang caught up with the black panther running wild in a desolate field.
Unleashing her Ice Ability, she formed four ice walls, temporarily trapping it.
"Roar—!"
The black panther smashed violently against the ice walls.
In a matter of seconds, the ice walls cracked visibly, on the verge of shattering.
Just before the ice walls shattered, Shen Tang quickly purchased an enhanced sedative from the Space Mall, her palm conjuring spiritual power bow and arrow, shooting it harshly into the black panther’s neck.
The system’s powerful sedative was enough to render a Peak of Tenth Rank Beastman temporarily unable to act, but on the black panther, it hardly worked, only slowing its movements for a brief moment.
Seizing that instant, Shen Tang swiftly lunged forward, flipping onto its back, concentrating all her spiritual power into countless gentle yet tenacious white threads, wrapping the black panther tightly like a cocoon, frantically devouring the black aura surrounding it.
Through numerous refinements, Shen Tang’s spiritual power was now much improved; the Spirit Tree in her mind had grown nearly three meters tall, still falling short of peak times, but recovering thirty percent strength, far stronger than before.
Finally, the black aura on the black panther gradually dissipated, and it slowly calmed down.
Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief, flipping off its back.
Finally subdued...
In the next second.
The black panther directly collapsed to the ground.
Bang!
Shen Tang didn’t dodge, crushed firmly beneath the black panther’s heavy body.
"Ugh... So heavy!" Shen Tang struggled to push the black panther off her, like trying to move a mountain, but couldn’t budge it, almost suffocating.
"You smelly panther, wake up for me!
Perhaps in response to her complaint, the air was filled with the sound of bones snapping, followed by the sudden shrinking of the black panther, transforming into a tall man, pressing down on her.
Even worse, this dog of a man wasn’t wearing clothes!
Their skin practically touching.
Shen Tang’s already thin garments were ragged from battle, almost like wearing nothing...
Her fair face flushed instantly, angrily pushing the man off.
With a dull thud, he fell to the ground.
Shen Tang quickly and anxiously checked if he was alright, almost developing eye strain again!
This smelly panther was still, as always—
A scoundrel!
But now was not the time for that. Seeing his injuries, particularly the ice blade wound through his chest, Shen Tang’s heart ached fiercely. She was about to heal him but heard a chaotic noise nearby.
Oh no.
The large troop was closing in.
They absolutely cannot capture Jin, or what awaits him will either be re-imprisonment or direct execution.
Shen Tang bit her lip, hefting Jin onto her back.
This was quite a feat; a six-foot-two Beastman, even in human form, his bone density was terrifyingly high, as heavy as a mountain.
"...Smelly panther, you used to carry me, now it’s my turn to carry you."
Shen Tang gritted her teeth, grateful her physical condition had improved; otherwise, she’d never manage carrying such a male Beastman.
She reactivated the Teleportation Token, and their figures instantly vanished, reappearing in a secluded small shelter kilometers away.
...
Ever since Jin’s inner power became more uncontrollable, his memory fragmented, rarely was he lucid.
He couldn’t distinguish fantasy from reality; the scenes before him were all distorted, the Beastmen transformed into ugly Mutant Species in his eyes.
Their cries of "Kill the demon" were so piercing, making Jin want them all dead.
Kill every living being before him, and the world would fall silent.
No more irritating noise.
But suddenly, a gentle force washed over, gradually calming his restless heart.
He faintly caught a familiar scent.
Like being in a blooming, fragrant flower field, lowering his head, the little leopard touched its moist nose gently to a small white jasmine.
So fragrant, so fragrant.
"Uh..."
Jin tried to open his eyes, only to feel his head splitting with pain.
He awoke groggily, his vision blurry.
The scent was coming right from his nose, the female’s hair fragrance.
No.
Female...
Why her again?
She was carrying him?
For the first time, Jin truly thought he was crazy, dreaming of this female even then?
So strange.
So annoying.
How could she barge so unreasonably into his dreams again?
