160: Chapter 160 Gazing at this hellish scene, I felt a long-lost sense of pleasure.
"Hu Che's people?" Lang Chi exclaimed.
He could also tell that the beastman leading them must be their leader.
The Red Fox Tribe had very distinct features; they were mostly handsome, with skin fairer than the average Male Beastman, and their hair and irises tended to be reddish.
"They are not Hu Che's people."
Hearing Lang Feng say this, Lang Chi suddenly understood.
It was that faction that had split off from the Red Fox Tribe earliest.
However—
"Weren't they wiped out?" Lang Chi asked, puzzled.
Back then, the Beast King had ordered them to be killed on sight.
Even those who were lucky enough to survive had fled the Beast Kingdom.
How did they develop so many people in just a few months?
The Red Fox Tribe leader said passionately, "Occupy Central City! Everything inside is yours!"
"You will never have to live in the land of extreme heat again!"
"The Female Beastmen inside—whoever snatches them, they belong to them!"
The beastmen he brought let out a cheer.
Tang Ruan watched the scene below.
She roughly guessed what was going on.
Didn't TV shows often portray this—
A distant royal relative, driven out of the country, using the emperor's banner to easily gather some refugees or poor people.
Utilizing their yearning for a better life to fight their way back and start an uprising.
Moreover, these people generally held the mentality that "those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes."
When fighting, they were extremely reckless.
"Can you handle them outside the city?" Tang Ruan asked She Mu.
Led by She Mu, standing behind him were the beastmen who had been arranged by Yan Qing to "study" in Central City several months ago.
Tang Ruan had just found out.
The order they received was: before the Beast King returns, do not leave Central City.
Therefore, these beastmen became the safeguard for protecting Central City.
"In terms of strength, as long as there aren't more of them, solving this is not a problem."
"But the city gate is fragile, and some might sneak in," She Mu replied.
Inside Central City is the "Beast Cub School."
Once bad people sneak in, it is inevitable that the Cubs will be hurt.
Beastmen fighting still followed the set of rules from ancient times in Tang Ruan's original world.
For formal battles, both sides had to agree in advance and attack together.
Even before Yan Qing attacked the city alone, he would say, "Let's begin!"
But Tang Ruan didn't care about martial ethics.
For the safety of the Cubs, she had to strike first!
She was just about to give instructions to She Mu.
Suddenly, there was a "boom."
The city tower shook violently.
The ground under Tang Ruan's feet cracked, and one of her feet twisted into it.
Suddenly, her waist tightened.
She was carried into the air by someone and placed in a safe area.
Her back hit a solid chest.
She suddenly felt incredibly at ease.
She didn't need to look back to know it was—
"Fen Tian."
Tang Ruan turned to look at him.
"Should I kill them?" Fen Tian asked, knitting his brows.
His gaze fell on the several Elephant Tribe beastmen who were "thumping" against the city wall below.
Tang Ruan hadn't expected them to be even more devoid of martial ethics than she was.
"Only spare the Female Beastmen! Kill all the Male Beastmen and Cubs! Hahaha!" the Red Fox Tribe leader shouted excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ruan, who had been slightly hesitant, trembled with anger.
"Kill!"
As her voice fell.
Fen Tian spread his wings and flew in front of the enemy.
The beastmen outside the city saw Fen Tian come alone.
They thought he had come to negotiate terms.
The Red Fox Tribe member jumped forward excitedly, "What? Did that snake really have an accident?"
"To actually send a crow to negotiate, I—"
His voice suddenly stopped abruptly.
On his originally fair skin, blisters began to appear continuously.
His blood made a "sizzling" sound.
His eyeballs bulged outward.
Immediately following a "bang," he exploded into a puddle of flesh.
The beastmen standing nearby were splattered all over.
The scalding flesh immediately burned blisters all over their bodies.
The beastmen retreated one after another upon seeing this, but there were still those who were not afraid of death and charged forward.
"Yan Qing is dead! We have more people, we aren't afraid of him! Charge—"
"Ahhh!"
Before that person could finish speaking, the beastmen suddenly realized that the ground beneath their feet had ignited.
The soil, as if alive, crawled up their calves.
Burning away the flesh on them, leaving only white bones.
The white bones then became brittle and broke.
But the people didn't die; they were just disappearing piece by piece in agony.
Screams rose and fell one after another.
Fen Tian looked at this purgatory-like scene, a smile curling on his lips, feeling a long-lost pleasure.
The beastmen standing on the city tower, watching this scene, were all terrified.
Even though many of them had seen Yan Qing's siege scenes.
But he only instantly turned the beastmen into ashes, not giving them any painful process.
This method of Fen Tian's was purely torture.
Moreover, he himself seemed to appreciate it.
Tang Ruan watched the scene below the city, the joy of victory quickly replaced by fear.
She had seen Fen Tian deal with the monsters of Beast God Mountain this way.
But monsters and beastmen were still different.
It was like seeing chickens and ducks being slaughtered, which was a different feeling from killing people.
Her stomach suddenly churned, she turned around, and began to vomit.
On the scorched earth outside the city, soon only a pile of white bones remained.
Some severed hands and feet that hadn't been completely burned were still twitching due to nerves.
Fen Tian heard Tang Ruan's sound.
In the blink of an eye, he flew back to her side.
"A-Wu, what's wrong? A-Wu, are you not feeling well?"
He nervously supported her.
"Fen Tian, don't let me see..."
Even if these people deserved it, there must have been some among them who were fooled by that Red Fox Tribe leader.
They deserved to die, but this way of dying was simply too cruel.
"Okay."
Fen Tian understood what Tang Ruan meant.
He scanned the area, his gaze falling on Hu Niu, who was already terrified out of her wits.
"Come here! Support her!" Fen Tian said to Hu Niu.
Upon hearing this, Hu Niu knelt down, hurriedly crawled to Tang Ruan, knelt on the ground, raised her hands, and supported her.
The other beastmen came to their senses and also knelt down one after another.
Fen Tian flew into the air again, gently flapping his wings.
The ground outside the city suddenly cracked open.
Like a giant mouth, it swallowed all the remains of the beastmen.
Only then did Lang Feng realize the true meaning of the words Tang Ruan mentioned when she communicated with him— "The four of them are the Beast God's weapons of mass destruction."
Tens of thousands of people... just like that... disappeared?
Even the Beast King would need half a day; how long did he spend?
Leaving him in Central City is too dangerous.
Until Fen Tian took Tang Ruan away.
The beastmen on the city tower dared not stand up.
---
Fen Tian placed Tang Ruan on the bed, put a cushion behind her waist, and let her sit comfortably.
He walked to the table, picked up the jar on the table, and poured a bowl of water.
"A-Wu, drink some water."
Tang Ruan drank it in one breath before suppressing that feeling of nausea.
Fen Tian turned around, intending to pour her another bowl.
Tang Ruan suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Fen Tian, come here. Let me hug you for a while."
She pulled him over.
She rested her head on his abdominal muscles.
In her mind, the scene from just now still wouldn't go away.
She hugged his waist tightly and asked: "Fen Tian, when do you plan to let Yan Qing and Lang Lie wake up?"
She felt the muscles in his abdomen suddenly tighten.
However, this reaction was within Tang Ruan's expectations.
She continued: "Is it that you don't want me to meet them?"
"Is that why you keep not letting them wake up?"
"I asked the Witch Doctor, their conditions are all very good."
"Hmm." Fen Tian turned his face away.
He didn't want to discuss this topic with her.
Tang Ruan paused and said: "Actually, not letting them meet me..."
"Doesn't necessarily mean you have to make them lose their memories or stay asleep."
Tang Ruan raised her head, just in time to meet Fen Tian's puzzled gaze.
She forced a smile, "You just need to take me to a place where they can't find us, and that will be enough."
