Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 1049

Chapter 1049: Chapter 766_2

Shen Tang was silent for a moment; using the System Power would also lead to energy leaks, making it possible for powerful and vigilant Beastmen to discover it.

Lu Xiao clearly did not want to see her.

[Host...] The System’s voice became cautious, [Lu Xiao might want to bear it on his own.]

"...I know."

[He probably hid himself to avoid what just happened.]

The System sighed, [People like him seem gentle, but they’re harsh on themselves. He probably wants to get through this ordeal by relying on himself.]

Shen Tang didn’t speak, she just headed southeast.

[If he can survive this ordeal, he will come back to see you. If he can’t...] The System paused, [He probably feels he’s not worthy of seeing you.]

Shen Tang’s steps faltered, her fists clenched at her side, and she walked even faster.

...

Three days.

Shen Tang searched for three days.

On the first day, she followed the traces he left behind, but every time she was about to catch up, he would vanish.

On the second day, she had the System expand the search area, still to no avail.

On the third day, she had almost turned over this entire mountain range.

In the evening, the System suddenly spoke, [Head north, about three kilometers, there’s a cave. He seems to have stopped.]

Shen Tang rushed over without another word.

The cave was under a steep cliff, thoroughly concealed by vines and bushes. Without the System’s guidance, she wouldn’t have found it at all.

The moment she pulled aside the vines, a damp, rancid odor hit her face.

Frowning slightly, Shen Tang ducked down and entered.

The entrance was narrow, but the further inside she went, the more spacious it became, and the light grew dimmer. Scattered on the ground were the corpses of small wild animals, most of them decayed beyond recognition, their bones mixed in the mud, emitting a nauseating stench.

Shen Tang’s nose tingled.

Lu Xiao, the perfect figure admired by countless Beastmen for his flawless handling of all matters and meticulous attention even to the tiniest details in private, was now hiding in a place like this.

She continued deeper inside.

From the depths of darkness came a muffled, painful moan.

It sounded like a trapped beast’s cry, intermittent, each sound seemingly forced from the depths of his throat.

Shen Tang’s steps halted.
