49: Chapter 49 What a bold female, trying to take advantage of someone in distress.

A "plop" sound came from nearby.

Tang Ruan, carried by the rushing current, was swept to a deeper part below the cliff.

Hu Che: !!!

Did she just let go on purpose?

How can there be such a foolish Female Beastman in this world!

"Tang Ruan!"

Hu Che's voice echoed between the cliffs.

The lizard beastman was furious: "Follow me and chase her!"

He pulled the Hyena along and chased in the direction where Tang Ruan had fallen.

The Bull-beast looked sorrowful: "The little Female Beastman would rather die than accept me. Am I really that ugly? Wuwuwu..."

The Weasel Beast jumped toward the opposite bank.

Hu Che suddenly let go.

Accompanied by a "plop" sound.

Soon, he disappeared below the cliff along with Tang Ruan.

---

Tang Ruan felt that she must have some kind of water-element buff on her.

Not long after falling off the cliff, she was stopped by a tree trunk at the bottom of the water.

Tang Ruan straddled the tree trunk and carefully felt her way to the shore.

Before she could even catch her breath.

Heavy breathing from beastmen came from behind.

She turned her head.

Those four persistent guys had actually caught up again.

"Damn it..."

Tang Ruan dove into grass as tall as a person.

After taking only a few steps, her body suddenly felt light and floaty.

Her feet also stopped obeying her.

Rows of small text kept flashing in her mind.

[Long Needle Grass, poisonous...]

[Short Primrose, poisonous...]

[Inch Gold Grass, poisonous...]

Tang Ruan's knees buckled, and she knelt down.

Had she walked into a nest of poisonous grass?

Fortunately, within a hundred steps of a poisonous plant, there must be an antidote.

Tang Ruan crawled with difficulty for a distance and luckily found the antidote.

She grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth.

Her consciousness cleared slightly.

She heard the voices of the beastmen outside the grass.

"She went in there!"

"Search separately! Be careful, this grass is poisonous!"

Tang Ruan crawled forward, having moved only two steps.

Suddenly, she felt a cold aura coming from her side.

She turned her head to look.

In the grass, someone was actually lying there.

"Ah!"

Tang Ruan thought it was a corpse.

She instinctively cried out.

"She's there!"

"Probably poisoned."

"It's fine, she won't die for a while. I know someone from the Snake Tribe; they are the best at detoxification."

Tang Ruan covered her mouth and curled up in shock.

The person in the grass, awakened by her noise, slowly turned his face.

A pair of dark green eyes, like the most understated and expensive gemstones in the world.

Tang Ruan looked at him.

She called out with some uncertainty: "Yan Qing?"

Yan Qing's brow furrowed slightly.

He propped up his upper body and looked outside the grass.

The temperature on his body suddenly rose.

The surrounding grass was instantly shrouded in red light, and the grass stems lost moisture under the heat.

But they didn't burn.

It seemed he could control the temperature.

"He... they are chasing me, they want to catch me!"

Tang Ruan crawled toward him.

She wasn't sure if he knew her.

But the Yan Qing in her dreams was a very gentle and easy-to-talk-to person, so he would definitely help her, right!

Yan Qing suddenly turned his head.

His pupils had turned into slits, and the iris was a bit lighter in color than before.

Carrying a chilling coldness.

Tang Ruan hurriedly retreated.

Suddenly, a few pained groans came from outside the grass.

Immediately after, four shadows flew up.

Accompanied by four "bang" sounds.

All four beastmen fell to the ground.

A huge green snake tail, shimmering with a metallic luster, traced an arc in the sky and elegantly fell into the water.

Only then did Tang Ruan realize that his lower body was actually in the form of a snake.

She suddenly realized.

The thing she was holding in the water just now... it probably wasn't a tree trunk, but his tail!

She was a bit curious and looked up.

But she saw a great surge of purple Energy on his body.

"Are you injured?"

Yan Qing coughed lightly.

In the blink of an eye, he slid into the water.

"What's wrong with you?"

Tang Ruan ran out of the grass.

"Get lost!"

Tang Ruan: ...

"O...okay!"

It seems he doesn't know her.

How could such a gentle person in her dreams be so fierce.

Tang Ruan walked forward two steps.

Suddenly she saw the corpses of those four beastmen.

"Ah!"

Actually... they were all dead!

She couldn't help but start trembling.

She retreated back to the shore.

Yan Qing glared at her with displeasure.

His thin lips were pressed tightly, as if suppressing anger.

Tang Ruan pointed to the opposite bank.

"Can I go from over there? Over there..."

She pointed behind her again.

No, she was really scared.

Too scared to move.

Her brain felt like it was exploding.

Yan Qing closed his eyes, seemingly tacitly consenting.

Tang Ruan waded into the water; the water temperature was actually much hotter than before.

She subconsciously looked at him.

Yan Qing's lower abdomen and below were submerged in the water.

The swirling purple-red mist kept churning.

He must be very seriously injured...

Is he poisoned?

Does he really not need any treatment?

After all, her impression of Yan Qing was the best among all the beastmen who appeared in her dreams.

She couldn't just watch him die!

"I can help you."

She suddenly spoke.

Yan Qing lifted his eyes slightly.

He sneered.

What a bold Female Beastman, actually thinking of taking advantage of someone's vulnerability.

Every time the Snake Tribe experiences an increase in Energy, it is accompanied by a mating season.

Male Beastmen without a Mistress cannot find release.

It is very easy to become manic and kill innocents at this time.

To control himself, whenever this happens.

He would try every possible way to poison himself to reduce his power.

And this Female Beastman actually said she wanted to help.

How did she want to help?

It goes without saying.

Yan Qing looked down on Female Beastmen outside the Snake Tribe.

He is a rare Fire Snake Clan member.

To ensure pure bloodlines, he must wait for a Fire Snake Clan Female Beastman to appear before he can have a Mistress.

Even if this Female Beastman is indeed tempting.

Yan Qing's gaze lingered on Tang Ruan's clothes, which were soaked by the water.

He slowly averted his gaze.

"If this goes on, you might die." Tang Ruan took a step toward him anxiously.

His whole body was now shrouded in purple Energy.

"If you don't leave, you'll be the one to die."

He felt the heat in his body becoming more severe.

He had always looked down on Female Beastmen of other races, so why did he have feelings for her?

But she absolutely cannot become his Mistress.

Tang Ruan: Fine! Not knowing what's good for you, huh?

She retreated and walked toward the opposite bank with big strides.

Suddenly, she stepped on something round.

Yan Qing's brow furrowed slightly.

"Ah!"

Tang Ruan fell headfirst into the water.

After a while, a string of bubbles emerged from the calm water.

Yan Qing: ...

Hu Che, hiding in the forest on the opposite side: !!!

Yan Qing took a deep breath.

He raised his snake tail and lifted Tang Ruan out from the bottom of the water.

Tang Ruan lay limp on Yan Qing's tail.

Who would have thought that in this damn place, even the bottom of the water is full of poisonous things!

Fortunately, there were antidote herbs on the shore.

She hurriedly stuffed the antidote into her mouth, and her condition instantly recovered.

Yan Qing looked at her, and surprise appeared on his face.

This Female Beastman can actually detoxify!

Most Female Beastmen do not have a Supernatural Ability, and even if they do, it gradually disappears due to long-term neglect.

Yet she was able to find the antidote so quickly.

This shows that she has been using her Supernatural Ability, or she is very studious.

Just now, he thought she was just lucky...

Tang Ruan felt a bit better.

She got up, ready to leave.

Yan Qing suddenly felt a wave of heat, almost breaking his sanity.

The huge snake tail wrapped around to in front of Tang Ruan.

And scooped her back.
