347: Chapter 23 "Run!"

The turf was only ten centimeters thick, and the male beastmen buried underneath quickly crawled out.

It all happened too fast; most of them were in a state of confusion.

"What just happened?"

"How could soil fall from the sky?"

"It seems that beastman did it!"

The speaking beastman raised his hand and pointed toward the sky.

The crowd of beastmen looked up one after another, staring at the expressionless Tang Longyan hovering in mid-air.

"How is that possible?" A Hyena Tribe beastman scoffed. "Even if the Beast God were alive, he couldn't lift the ground!"

"I heard the Beast God really is alive and lives in the Beast Kingdom," another Bear Tribe beastman said.

"Who told you that?

Nonsense!

If the Beast God were truly alive, would you and I still be living?"

The Hyena Tribe beastman laughed wildly, thinking of the misdeeds he had committed.

"It must be the wind, I— ugh..."

Suddenly, a gust of wild wind carrying wet mud slammed into his mouth.

It choked him so hard he nearly lost his breath.

"What is this now?" the Bear Tribe beastman asked.

The Hyena beastman spat for a long time before he could breathe again.

"The weather on this Barren Continent... really is—"

The Hyena Tribe beastman's voice stopped abruptly again.

But this time, it wasn't because mud had blocked his throat.

It was because he saw a giant wave a hundred meters high rising from the distant sea.

The water vapor from the giant wave refracted the sunlight, casting a wide rainbow that dyed half the sky in color.

The beastmen, who had just been dazed by the falling soil, were shocked by the scene before them.

But some beastmen quickly reacted.

"Run!"

Someone shouted, and then the cries of wild beasts echoed within the Hunting Forest.

Yun Tiankai felt as if she were hearing the opening sound effects of some animal program.

The flying beastmen all took their Beast Forms and flew in the opposite direction of the sea.

Those who couldn't fly began to flee toward higher ground.

The peak where Yun Tiankai stood was also one of the high Points of the Barren Continent.

The thundering sound of footsteps surged toward her.

But the speed at which they ran was clearly no match for the speed of the seawater.

In the blink of an eye, the seawater came blotting out the sky, like a giant jellyfish instantly swallowing the heavens.

The sunlight turned into countless patches of patterns, falling upon the earth and the fur of the beastmen.

The beastmen's footsteps drew closer and closer.

Yun Tiankai could already see countless running black dots at the foot of the mountain.

She couldn't help but get nervous, even though she knew clearly that these were beastmen and not actual animals.

But the male beastmen here were no safer than actual wild beasts.

Yun Tiankai wanted to hide first.

For some reason, she wasn't worried at all about this overwhelming seawater.

She instinctively believed that Tang Longyan would not hurt her.

Yun Tiankai had just taken two steps toward the nearby woods when she suddenly saw a yellow tiger and a yellow lion standing not far away.

She couldn't help but take two steps back, intending to retreat.

At that moment, both the tiger and the lion transformed into human form.

The Tiger Tribe beastman suddenly shouted, "It's that Female Beastman!"

The Tiger Tribe beastman pointed at Yun Tiankai and said to the Lion Clan beastman, "She's that beastman's lover!"

Yun Tiankai blinked: Lover?

She recognized him; he was the Tiger Tribe Male Beastman who had tried to assault her when she first arrived.

But where did they get the idea that she was his lover?

She wished she were.

But Tang Longyan wouldn't allow it.

Every time she tried to get close on purpose, he deliberately distanced himself.

Of course, except when she was in her Beast Form.

After all, who would have gendered thoughts about a small, fluffy animal?

These two beastmen misunderstood her relationship with Tang Longyan, but that didn't stop them from harboring ill intentions.

"Catch her!" the Tiger Tribe Male Beastman said excitedly. "If we catch her, we'll be safe!"

When they were buried underground the first time, many beastmen hadn't reacted.

The second time, everyone saw it.

With a gentle wave of Tang Longyan's hand, the seawater lunged toward the Barren Continent as if it were alive.

Although it hadn't reached them yet, no one could guarantee they would be safe.

As long as they held his lover, he wouldn't dare do anything to them.

The two beastmen glanced at each other and instantly shifted into their Beast Forms, lunging toward Yun Tiankai.

Yun Tiankai immediately took a gun out of the system and aimed it at them.

"Don't come any closer! Or I'll shoot!"

Yes, she had paid in full for an AK-47 worth 200,000 Points.

The Tiger Tribe beastman and the Lion Clan beastman were intimidated by Yun Tiankai's aura and stopped in their tracks.

They looked at the strangely shaped black stick in her hand and then at each other.

Only then did Yun Tiankai remember that they didn't know what a gun was.

So, she took the initiative to introduce it: "This thing will emit huge Energy and pierce through your bodies in an instant!"

As she spoke, she tilted the barrel and pulled the trigger toward a large tree nearby.

The first time—it didn't budge.

The second time—it still wouldn't move.

Yun Tiankai wondered: Was she too weak? Or were guns originally this hard to fire?

Don't female characters in TV shows kill everyone with these?

Suddenly, a flash of insight hit her.

Guns have a safety catch!

How could she have forgotten?

The gun didn't come with an instruction manual.

Yun Tiankai finally found something that looked like a safety catch on the right side of the gun.

She gave it a light flick and heard a "click."

At the same time, she instinctively felt danger.

The moment she looked up, she saw the Tiger Tribe beastman lunging at her with bared claws.

In that critical moment, her shot went wide.

The bullet grazed the Tiger Tribe Male Beastman's ear, blowing off a third of it.

Blood gushed out instantly.

The Tiger Tribe beastman saw the blood on the ground, reached out a claw to touch his ear, and then saw the blood on his claw.

His eyes instantly turned red.

"I'll kill you!"

He crouched to lunge at her again, and Yun Tiankai readied her gun.

However, in the next second, the Tiger Tribe beastman suddenly turned and ran.

He ran down the mountain, panting heavily.

A streak of red Supernatural Ability followed him like a ghost.

The Tiger Tribe beastman ran out of Yun Tiankai's line of sight.

That red Supernatural Ability suddenly accelerated and "swallowed him whole."

Inside the translucent red ball of Supernatural Ability, he instantly became aged—shriveled—

And finally turned into a stiff, dried corpse.

In another instant, he turned to ash...

Yun Tiankai looked around while holding the gun.

She didn't see the Lion Clan beastman who had come with the Tiger Tribe beastman.

Did he run away too?

When did that happen?

Why hadn't she seen it at all?

Why did they run?

Yun Tiankai suddenly thought of something and abruptly looked up.

She saw Tang Longyan hovering high above her head, looking down at her.

At such a distance, logically speaking, she shouldn't have been able to see his expression clearly.

But she inexplicably felt—he was a little angry.

His anger even made her feel a bit afraid.

Could this be the 'Pressure' mentioned in Beast World novels?

She subconsciously wanted to rub her arms, only then remembering she was still holding the gun; if he asked, she really wouldn't know how to explain it to him.

Yun Tiankai hurriedly put it away.

At that moment, she saw something familiar...
