Divine Beast Adventures
chapter-224

Edited by Aelryinth

If his eyes weren’t playing tricks on him, they seemed to be a group of creatures standing upright on two legs… humans?

Zhang Che nearly wept. It wasn’t easy; he had finally seen living humans!

He had been living alone in the depths of the beast world for half a month. Zhang Che felt as if he was about to lose his ability to speak. If he continued like this, perhaps he might regress into a primitive that devoured raw meat and fowl.

“Hah, I can finally leave this cursed place!” Zhang Che smiled, ready to wave his hand to recall his babies, then run down this tall mountain and rode Hanxue over.

After all, he might frighten others if they saw his dozen or so “subdued beasts”.

However, before Zhang Che could make any moves, he saw a large exotic beast suddenly appear behind the few black dots, chasing them.

-Damn, I was wondering why it looked strange. Why don’t they have any subdued beasts around?- Zhang Che cursed inwardly. He hurriedly recalled every subdued beast and pet except for the Purple Jade Condor, then jumped onto its back and rushed towards them.

Those people..? Mmm, they should be people. They were the key to finding the direction to the safety zone. He didn’t want to watch as the exotic beast chased them down and ate them.

Chen Lishan thought something must be wrong with her head. -Why did I agree to come to the beast world for a pointless so-called adventure with these all-bust-and-no-brain people?

-Look at us now. Our subdued beasts are probably all dead. When that powerful exotic beast catch up to us later, we’ll all become its food.-

“Damn it! Jenny, it’s all your fault! If it weren’t for your suggestion, we wouldn’t have come so deep into the beast world and run into this terrifying beast!” A shockingly well-shaped, young blonde grumbled at her own companion while running for her life.

“Hey, hey, hey, Monica, don’t push all the blame on me. Who on earth was the one who raised both hands and feet in agreement with my suggestion in the first place?” another young woman immediately retorted loudly, unwilling to take the blame. She had short maroon hair, her face slightly tomboyish.

“Oh please, you still have the energy to argue? If we don’t run faster, that terrifying exotic beast behind us will catch up in no time!” A tanned, black haired woman from the group hurriedly tried to break up the fight before it started.

Chen Lishan’s face suddenly sank. She said in horror, “Shit! My subdued beasts are all dead! What about you?”

Hearing this, the other three turned to look at her in shock, nodding one after another.

“Fuck, quickly run!” the maroon-haired Jenny cursed. Her legs started running faster, the others tried their hardest to keep up.

Alas, despite these women exercising regularly, how could they actually run fast uphill, when the gradient was pretty steep?

Chen Lishan was losing hope. They were surrounded by steep cliffs on both sides, and the powerful exotic beast behind them was mostly likely catching up to them soon. -Am I really going to die here today?-

“Ah…!” A high decibel scream rang out. Chen Lishan turned to look. She saw Monica looking back, showing an appalled face.

She immediately looked back, too. She saw that savage beast had almost caught up to them. There was less than five hundred meters between them and the beast.

“We’re finished…” Chen Lishan felt as if her strength had disappeared without a trace. Her legs seemed to be filled with lead, finding it difficult to move even a centimeter.

Suddenly, Monica’s spirit crumbled completely. She sat on the ground and started crying, “Ahhh, I’m not running anymore. I’ll just let that exotic beast eat me and be done with it…”

“Damn it! Get up, Monica, we can’t give up just like this!” Jenny scolded angrily. She hurriedly turned around and tried to pull Monica up. However, the latter had completely given up all hope, sitting limply on the ground. How could she possibly pull her up so easily?

Jenny flung her sweaty, short maroon hair back, shouting towards her other companions, “Angelina, Lisa, come give me a hand!” {TLN: Lisa is Chen Lishan.}

It was only now that Chen Lishan reacted. She hurriedly walked up to them, and together with the black-haired woman, helped Jenny pull Monica up, running up the mountain in a half dragging, half tugging manner.

“Let me go. It’s useless. We can’t escape. Wuuhuu…” Monica’s spirit had completely crumbled. She was struggling violently with her hands and feet, greatly slowing down Chen Lishan and the others pulling her along.

Pa! Jenny slapped Monica’s face hard, angrily shouting, “You bitch! You really want to die so much? We haven’t tried our best yet! We can still run! How can you give up so easily!?”

Monica was smacked senseless from that slap. She suddenly stopped crying and raised her hand, parting her messy blonde hair, her eyes suddenly revealed a heavy desire for survival.

“Mmm, you’re right, Jenny! Even if we’re going to die, we have to try our hardest first!”

“Then quickly get the hell up!” Jenny scolded loudy again, but a faint smile showed on her face. However, underneath that smile, there was more bitterness and desperation.

Actually, every one of them knew that since that terrifying exotic beast had caught up, their fates were already sealed. Other than them being eaten by that exotic beast, there was no other ending.

Just like that, the four exhausted young women continued jogging up the mountain, helping each other.

It was likely that they had seen past life and death in desperate circumstances. Monica suddenly turned to Chen Lishan and started teasing her, “Hey, I’m really sorry, Lisa, to let you die an old virgin.”

Chen Lishan rolled her eyes back, replying, “You bitch, if people found out you died here, who knows how many of the men who bedded you will grieve?”

The atmosphere suddenly became more relaxed.

Jenny looked towards Chen Lishan and asked seriously, “Lisa, if a gorilla suddenly appeared here and demanded you to agree to spend a night with it before it would save us, would you agree?”

Angelina, who seemed to be the more gentle and quiet type all this time, suddenly interjected, “I think Lisa might not be able to take it. It’s better to let Monica take her place.”

Three of them burst into laughter at the same time, except for Monica, who suddenly showed a hint of shock on her face.

“What’s wrong, Monica? Are you worried that you can’t handle a gorilla?”

Monica extended her trembling hand, pointing to the sky at their backs, “There’s no gorilla, but there is a very big bird…”
