Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Chapter 19: Shen Li’s True Form

The gnarled, desiccated tree in front was sturdy and towering. The swarm of insects was about to overrun them, and Shen Tang twisted her plump body frantically climbing up the tree.

The scene looked ridiculous and laughable, but fortunately, the camp was under attack, and no one spared her a glance.

"Huff huff..."

Shen Tang’s hands transformed into sharp claws, digging into the rough tree trunk, and she huffed and puffed, climbing several meters up, sweating all over.

Luckily, the original host was a Beastman from the Cat Clan, which gave her some talent for tree climbing.

[Go Shen Tang, those mutant spiders are closing in.]

Terrified, Shen Tang glanced back to see a group of watermelon-sized mutant spiders gathering at the base of the tree, wiggling their eight legs as they climbed up.

The swarm was climbing swiftly, almost catching up to her!

The system continued broadcasting the distance in her mind,

[2 meters... 1 meter... 90 centimeters... 80 centimeters... 50 centimeters...]

Scared stiff, Shen Tang’s face turned pale. She shut her eyes, using all her strength, climbing blindly upward, and quickly scurried to the tree’s top.

The system fell silent, not expecting her to be such an agile chunky person.

[Congratulations, the mutant spiders haven’t caught up. This location’s safety index is as high as 78%. You can stay here and wait for the battle below to end.]

Shen Tang slumped onto a thick tree branch. Looking down made her legs almost buckle and she nearly fell off.

How was it this high?

It looked about thirty to forty meters tall. Did she climb up here!?

Shen Tang felt like crying but there were no tears. Now she had acrophobia and was worried how she would get down later.

Oh well, at least it was better than being eaten alive by those bugs.

The higher you stand, the further you see. Shen Tang took in the whole battlefield from her vantage point.

Xiao Jin and the others were almost done wiping out the zombies on the perimeter, and many Beastmen were running back to camp to clear out the insect swarm.

The ambush cost a small part of their forces, remaining Beastmen clustered around the females, protecting them.

Shen Tang noticed An Ya was also present. She hadn’t paid attention to her earlier, guessing she had been in another armored vehicle.

Shen Tang recalled this female’s fondness for Lu Xiao and her aversion to Shen Tang for having occupied Lu Xiao. Speaking of him, she hadn’t seen Lu Xiao in days.

Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao had both led a team on a mission, and now Xiao Jin was back, but there was no word from Lu Xiao and his team. Could something have happened?

After the battle, she needed to find a chance to ask Xiao Jin.

In her deep thoughts, Shen Tang didn’t notice the impending danger behind her.

A mutant snake, drawn by the scent of a living being, was slithering silently up the tree trunk. Its color matched the trunk’s, making it hard to spot...

Upon reaching striking distance, the mutant snake opened its gaping mouth, launching at Shen Tang like an arrow released from a bow.

But the next second, a larger, more menacing white snake appeared, swallowing the mutant snake in one bite!

Hearing the commotion, Shen Tang turned to see the white snake behind her and let out a scream, almost falling off the tree.

She didn’t know much about snakes, but with a head like that, wasn’t it a cobra? And they were highly venomous!

Xue Yinzhou noticed the fear in the female’s eyes, a hint of sarcasm flashed in the serpent’s pupils, truly foolish, couldn’t even tell if something was a Beastman.

Shen Tang noticed the disdain in the white snake’s human-like expression, and since it showed no aggression, she realized it might be a Beastman?

[This is your Snake Husband, Xue Yinzhou,] the system reminded her.
