Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!
Chapter 722 - 620: I Know You’re Good People (3)
After a fierce battle, the mutant beasts on the field were finally cleared.
The man from earlier walked up to her, scrutinizing her, "Who are you? How did you end up here?"
Shen Tang raised her head, her eyes red, looking terrified, and stammered in a small voice, "Thank you for saving me... I, I don’t know how I ended up here, those monsters are so terrifying..."
The man’s handsome eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
He examined the woman in front of him, her hair messy, several dirt smudges on her face, yet those clear black eyes were extremely alluring, the corners slightly lifted, making his breath catch and his heart skip a beat.
"You..." he was momentarily at a loss for words and after regaining his composure, furrowed his brows even deeper.
He even suspected she might be a Fox Clan Beastman with a Charm Skill, but then immediately realized she didn’t have... any superpower fluctuations at all?!
The other team members gathered around too, noticing the complete absence of superpower aura from her, all showing expressions of surprise.
How could a female without superpowers appear in a place like this alone?
Was she abandoned by the team for being too useless? Or was she the only survivor after the team was annihilated?
Regardless, a female without superpowers staying here was only a dead end.
The teenager with greenish-red hair stepped forward. His face was delicate, almond-shaped eyes doll-like, looking very approachable, "It’s too dangerous for you to be here alone, you’ll be eaten by monsters. Why not come with us first?"
The girl with purplish-red curly hair immediately retorted, "Zhai Chen, are you crazy? Why bring an unknown female along?"
Another slender male also chimed in, "Even if she had superpowers it would be fine, but she’s a useless person without even superpowers, she’ll only be a burden!"
The curly-haired girl snorted triumphantly, "Exactly, why bring a deadweight? Just let her fend for herself."
The girl with white short hair couldn’t stand it and spoke up, "Isn’t it equivalent to sending her to die? That’s too cold-hearted, since we met by chance, taking her back to the shelter won’t cost us much, right?"
The two girls usually didn’t get along, this statement only added fuel to the fire. The curly-haired girl folded her arms, sneering, "Bai Lei, don’t pretend to be a good person here! It’s hard enough for us already, are you getting all compassionate?"
"You..."
Yuna turned to look at the quietest male in the team, a burly figure over two meters tall, muscles solid like a mountain, with dog ears and tail indicating he was a Mastiff Clan Beastman.
"Du En, do we keep this unknown female? Let’s vote!"
Du En’s honest nature meant he usually had no opinion.
He scratched his head, looked towards the tall handsome younger man not far away, and said woodenly, "I... listen to the captain..."
"Blockhead!"
Yuna turned to the man addressed as captain, immediately adopting a coy tone, "Qin Han, let’s not meddle further, let’s go!"
Qin Han merely glanced at her indifferently, then turned and walked forward, leaving behind, "If you don’t want to die, follow along."
Shen Tang’s eyes brightened, surprised and delighted, she sweetly responded, "Thank you, Captain!" and hurried to keep up.
"Captain, you guys..." Yuna stamped her foot in anger, snorted, and unwillingly followed the team.
Thus, Shen Tang continued traveling with the team.
On the way, there were almost no living creatures seen, and they were forced to engage in battle with several waves of mutant beasts.
After walking the whole day, there was no sign of resting from them. Shen Tang was both hungry and thirsty, and suddenly saw a river not far away—water resources were extremely scarce in this place, it was the first time she saw a river after being here for so many days. The water seemed clean and clear, she instinctively walked two steps towards it.
A hand pulled her back in time, accompanied by a gentle female voice, "Don’t go over there, this water has been polluted, touching it will leave nothing of you."
Shen Tang nodded, "I know, I was just going to have a look."
This place was riddled with pollution, no matter how thirsty she was, she dared not drink!
The girl with white short hair explained, "Although it looks safe there, the water or nearby often hides mutant beasts. Encountering this kind of river, it’s best to stay far away, never get close."
Shen Tang gratefully said, "Thank you for the reminder, I’ll remember."
The girl with white short hair looked at her, somewhat helpless, "You’re really different, it’s like you don’t know anything." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Shen Tang was speechless—indeed, she knew nothing.
Fortunately, the other side was naturally sociable, didn’t ask further, and quickly introduced the team members, "I’m Bai Lei, a White Bear Clan Beastman. The big guy is Du En, from the Mastiff Clan, he doesn’t talk much but is kind-hearted, you can find him if there’s anything."
The doll-faced teenager came over smiling, "I’m Zhai Chen, from the Sparrow Clan. Those two who didn’t welcome you, one is Ker, from the Crow Clan; the other is Yuna, from the Butterfly Clan. Although their mouths are bad, their hearts are not, don’t take it to heart."
Shen Tang nodded, "I know I’m a burden, I don’t blame them. Thank you for being willing to rescue me and let me stay in the team."
Bai Lei laughed heartily, "No problem, since we met by chance, in a place like this, more friends mean more ways!"
Listening to this, Shen Tang felt somewhat complicated. She hated the aliens invading the continent to the bone, but Bai Lei and the others... seemed no different from the Beastmen she had seen on the Beast World Continent.
Her eyes unintentionally drifted towards the tall figure at the forefront of the team.
Zhai Chen noticed her gaze and raised his eyebrow with a smile, "Our captain is handsome, right? So young and already a Tenth Rank Beastman, many females at the shelter fancy him."
Bai Lei glared at him, "Stop babbling, the captain hates people discussing his private matters."
Zhai Chen stuck out his tongue and slipped away to find Du En.
Bai Lei continued introducing to Shen Tang, "The male who rescued you is our captain, named Qin Han. Although he looks cold, he’s actually very nice."
Shen Tang said softly, "I know, you saved me, you’re all good people."
Bai Lei was a bit embarrassed by the compliment, scratched her head, took out a pack of wet wipes from the space bag, tore off two sheets and handed them to her, "Your face is dirty, can’t see your features clearly, clean it up."
