The Villainess Cannot Escape — Five Beast Husbands Chase Her Madly-Chapter 73: Night Abyss’s Sorrow, Don’t Look at Me

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Night Abyss’s Sorrow, Don’t Look at Me

In the distance, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the direction of the female cave.

The Lizard Beast Soldiers froze in unison, all whipping their heads around to look toward the female cave.

Night Abyss seized the opportunity. His tail shattered the nearby cave wall, and he once again fled with Su An’an.

"Forget them! Get to the female cave first!"

Nieruo’s furious roar echoed from the spider egg on a helmet:

"Not a single one of those females is to die! Find the beast that attacked the female cave. I’ll make sure there’s nothing left of him to bury!"

The Lizard Beast Soldiers, also fearing for the females’ safety, immediately scrambled madly toward the site of the explosion at the female cave.

Hiding in the shadows, Night Abyss had just breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a white-furred female ran out from the shadows.

His pupils contracted. His black-marked claws instantly shot out and seized her by the throat, his beastly strength nearly crushing her windpipe.

At the critical moment,

Su An’an suddenly caught the unique, herbaceous scent of sage mixed with a faint medicinal aroma.

In this decaying nest, only Ah Jin, the mother the Jox Brothers had been searching for for six long years, would carry such a healing herb of the Mouse Clan.

Su An’an grabbed Night Abyss forcefully, her fingertips digging deep into his knotted muscles. "Night Abyss, stop! This female smells of sage! It might be Senior Ah Jin!"

"None of the beasts here can be trusted!"

Killing intent surged in Night Abyss’s dark red, slitted pupils.

"I told you to stop."

Su An’an bit down hard on Night Abyss’s arm.

Night Abyss took a deep breath and finally released the white-furred female.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!" The white-furred female coughed violently on the ground, looking up at Su An’an in surprise. "How do you know who I am?"

"The Jox Brothers have been searching for you for six years!"

Su An’an fumbled her way forward and grasped the woman’s scar-covered hand. "They said their mother always carried the scent of sage."

"My children... are they still looking for me?"

Ah Jin trembled all over as cloudy tears snaked down the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

"Senior Ah Jin, this isn’t the time for tears."

Su An’an pressed urgently, "Do you know where the leader of the Heart-Eating Nightmare Spiders is? I need its raw venom to create an antidote!"

Ah Jin’s head snapped up, her eyes shining like starlight. "In the forbidden area, but only Nieruo has the key to get in."

She hurriedly pulled a faintly glowing herb from her pocket. Its white, web-like stems and leaves trembled slightly.

"This is White Spider Grass. It can suppress the spider’s poison. The effects last for about half an hour. Here, try eating it."

"I’ll try it first."

Night Abyss took a bite and said, "It’s not poisonous."

Only then did he hand it to Su An’an.

Su An’an put the herb in her mouth and began to chew.

As the bitter juice slid down her throat, the churning shadows deep within her sea of consciousness suddenly receded.

Her eyelashes trembled. Her hazy vision gradually sharpened, and she saw Night Abyss’s terrifying profile.

Sinister black markings covered his neck like a dense spiderweb.

Beneath his purplish-blue scales, countless festering wounds oozed black venom, which sent up puffs of white smoke where it dripped onto the ground.

Her heart felt as if it had been viciously seized by a giant hand, and she could hardly believe that the monster before her was Night Abyss.

"Don’t look." Night Abyss instinctively turned his face away, his hoarse voice laced with shame and misery.

His muscles tensed as he tried to back away, but Su An’an grabbed his wrist. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Her trembling fingertips gently caressed his scale-covered cheek, her gaze as soft as water. "These are your badges of honor for protecting me. You look handsome!"

Night Abyss froze, and the violent killing intent surging in his blood-red, slitted pupils came to a sudden halt.

He gazed at Su An’an’s pale yet resolute face. ’I want to hold her and kiss her fiercely.’

Su An’an forced herself to gather her Spiritual Power Tentacles and carefully probe his pitch-black sea of consciousness.

But a wave of excruciating pain washed over her.

Su An’an grimaced in pain, stumbling and pitching forward.

Night Abyss immediately wrapped an arm around her waist, cursing through clenched teeth, "Are you crazy?"

’She’s barely hanging on herself, and she still wants to try and soothe me!’

"I’m sorry. I’m dragging you down."

Su An’an held back her tears, looking at him pitifully.

Night Abyss’s brimming anger dissolved into a helpless sigh, and he tightened his arm, holding her protectively against his chest.

’I really don’t know what to do with her.’

"Can you save the kissing for after we get out of here?"

"Nieruo’s main cave has a Light Brain that can contact the outside world. We have to get over there, now!"

Ah Jin took out a small ceramic vial. "This is a putrid acid. If we cover ourselves in it, we can fool the senses of the spider eggs!"

Su An’an awkwardly took the vial and quickly smeared the contents on herself and Night Abyss. Then, she followed Ah Jin as they ran toward the main cave.

Inside the female cave, crimson lights and shadows flickered wildly.

Nieruo’s tail cracked against the rock wall like a steel whip, his slitted pupils burning with a nearly tangible killing intent. "Where did that white-furred rat-woman, Ah Jin, go?"

"L-Leader!"

A Lizard Beast Soldier dropped to his knees with a thud, cold sweat beading on his temples.

"Ah Jin brought me wine today, and afterward, my storeroom key was missing. The bombs... she might have been the one to plant them."

"That damned female... She dares to betray me!"

Nieruo’s tail whipped up a foul gust of wind, instantly splattering the Lizard Beast Soldier into a bloody pulp.

He bared his bone-white fangs in a vicious grin. "Lock down all passages! I want them found, dead or alive!"

Alarms suddenly blared throughout the entire lair. Countless crimson lights danced across the rock walls like innumerable prying eyes.

"Leader, do you think Ah Jin might have taken them to find the Light Brain?"

A Lizard Beast Soldier asked in a low voice.

"She must have."

Nieruo’s beastly pupils contracted, and he immediately led the Lizard Beast Soldiers toward his own cave.

Meanwhile, Ah Jin led Night Abyss and Su An’an through a series of twists and turns, finally arriving before a dark red cave.

Her voice trembled with excitement. "The main cave is right ahead! Once we get inside and find the Light Brain, we’ll be able to—"

"Watch out!"

Night Abyss, holding Su An’an with one arm and wrapping his tail around Ah Jin, leaped violently away from the cave entrance.

The red mouth of the cave suddenly spewed forth countless fist-sized Heart-Eating Nightmare Spiders.

"White-furred traitor! You dare bring outsiders to steal the Light Brain? None of you will leave here alive!"

Nieruo’s roar was already upon them, carried on a foul wind.

Thousands of Lizard Beast Soldiers charged out from all directions, completely cutting off any path of retreat for Night Abyss and the two females.

Ah Jin trembled in fear, and Su An’an immediately pulled her behind her for protection.

Nieruo’s cold gaze swept over Su An’an and Night Abyss, finally locking onto her. "Wretched female, did you really think you could escape?"

The Beast Soldiers behind him raised their claws in unison.

Mechanisms on both sides of the cave walls rumbled with the sound of turning gears as countless poisoned Crossbow Arrows took aim, ready to fire.

A savage light flashed in Night Abyss’s crimson, slitted pupils. His serpentine tail slammed violently onto the ground, shaking the entire cavern.

"Go!" he growled, his beastly body forming a wall in front of Su An’an and Ah Jin.

The Lizard Beast Soldiers swarmed forward, their claws striking against his with dazzling sparks.

Every one of Night Abyss’s strikes sent a spray of blood into the air, but more Beast Soldiers just trampled over the bodies of their comrades to press the attack.

Gritting her teeth, Ah Jin grabbed Su An’an’s wrist, about to make a dash for the main cave.

Nieruo suddenly whipped out the tip of his tail, and a strand of white spider silk, strong as a steel cable, wrapped around Ah Jin’s ankle.

"Trying to run?"

Nieruo revealed a bloodthirsty smile. "First, I’ll flay you, you wretched female, and make your skin into a cushion!"

Ah Jin clawed desperately at the ground, leaving ten deep, bloody gouges in her wake.

She looked at Su An’an in despair. "Forget about me! Go, quickly!"

Gritting her teeth, Su An’an focused her power and shot her Spiritual Power Tentacles toward the space between Nieruo’s eyebrows.

Nieruo clutched the space between his brows and shuddered, the spider silk from his tail involuntarily slackening.

Seizing the momentary opening, Night Abyss’s claws viciously slashed through the silk. He then used the momentum to slam into Nieruo, sending him flying.

"Go, now!"

His voice had become slurred and indistinct. The black markings now covered nearly his entire face, and his fingernails had transformed completely into sharp talons.

Ignoring her own pain, Su An’an pulled Ah Jin along and charged into the main cave.
