Bei Ji didn’t speak.
Selling them out— he believed that wicked female was capable of such a thing.
They were only worth a piece of animal skin.
Cold-blooded snake-beastmen were unwelcome everywhere, beings even their own mothers didn’t love.
Xi Qing and Bei Ji couldn’t eat anything anymore. The two snake cubs transformed into human form, sitting face to face, their eyes filled with sorrow.
….
Inside the forest, Si Yan took several deep breaths.
In the apocalypse, she was a warrior; she had learned wilderness survival skills.
The trees here were truly enormous, generally over twenty or thirty meters tall, with leaves that were also incredibly large, typically two to three times the size of those on Earth.
Thrown into the forest behind the mountain by those two bast**ds, Si Yan’s large eyes darted around mischievously. She took out a short dagger and carefully made her way through the forest.
On a large tree, a pair of eagle eyes instantly sharpened.
A snow-white falcon, hidden in the tree, had a beast crystal on its forehead that was a deep, almost purple red.
He sniffed, his eagle eyes seeing far into the distance, and cautiously looked over.
“Is that the little female from the Rock Village tribe?”
Mu Xiao wondered, puzzled. “What’s going on with the Rock Village tribe? Sending a little female deep into the forest in the middle of the night?”
Indeed, Si Yan, who had no sense of direction, thought she was on her way back to the cave, but ended up going further and further away.
Mu Xiao flapped his wings and flew closer, taking a closer look at Si Yan. “Tsk, so thin and small, not a bit of meat on her bones, a useless and incompetent little female, she doesn’t look like she’ll live long. Maybe the Rock Village tribe abandoned her.”
Mu Xiao saw a forest white tiger approaching Si Yan, lurking in the shadows, seemingly preparing to hunt her down.
Mu Xiao preened his feathers: “An abandoned female from another tribe is none of my business, I won’t go to save her.”
Because of the male-to-female ratio being ten to one, even the ugliest and worst-tempered females would receive meticulous care from the tribe, and countless male beastmen would follow them.
The female abandoned by the tribe was probably terminally ill and beyond medical help. Saving such a female would be pointless.
Si Yan was completely unaware that she was being targeted by an eagle-beastman.
Sensing danger behind her, Si Yan turned around and saw a beast’s heterochromatic eyes, glowing with red and purple light, greedily staring at her from the darkness.
The white tiger before her was enormous, three times larger than a normal white tiger in her post-apocalyptic world. Looking at the nearly five-meter-tall white tiger, Si Yan almost collapsed!
Damn brat, he really wanted her to be food for the wild beasts!!
Si Yan tossed the dagger in her hand.
To the white tiger before her, this dagger was probably just a toothpick!
She hadn’t had any direct experience with the beasts of the beast world when she read about them, but now, being in this situation firsthand, Si Yan felt that it was only thanks to her past life as a zombie that she hadn’t immediately fainted!
Without a word, Si Yan took off running, and after a few steps, she climbed a tree!
Si Yan gritted her teeth, exerted force, and suddenly opened a spatial portal, instantly pulling out her pistol.
The portal slammed shut with a bang.
Without a second thought, she loaded the gun and counted her bullets.
Her ammunition was limited; every shot fired reduced her supply.
But with life hanging in the balance, there was no time to hesitate. She drew her gun and fired a barrage of shots at the white tiger’s eyes!
The tiger jolted, immediately pulling its head from its wing.
The tiger was too fast; the bullets missed its eyes, but its face was still scratched.
The tiger clearly became even angrier.
Si Yan realized she had provoked the tiger. But that didn’t matter; whether she provoked it or not, it was going to eat her anyway.
Si Yan quickly climbed a tree, gritting her teeth in fury as she went.
Was this even an animal? This was harder to kill than a zombie!
After only a few steps, Si Yan was panting heavily. Seeing the tiger was almost upon her, Si Yan gripped a vine and quickly used her wood-based ability— Entangle!
The vines grew rapidly, but Si Yan’s wood-based abilities were limited, so their growth rate wasn’t much faster.
Si Yan only had time to set up a small trap to trip it up.
Sure enough, the tiger’s hooves were too fast, and it got caught on a suddenly growing vine, losing its balance and falling to the ground.
Si Yan immediately grabbed a vine from a large tree and climbed up.
This tiger was persistent; it was clear it wanted to eat her. There was still a long time before dawn when everyone would discover her disappearance and came to look for her, so stalling for time was useless. If she didn’t kill the tiger, Si Yan might become its food.
The eagle flew very close.
What was this female? So thin and small, yet so agile? And what was that strange, cold, black thing just now? The things it fired were so strange.
Si Yan’s wood-based abilities were very weak; so at this distance, the eagle didn’t notice her abilities.
Every bullet she fired was one less, and she was reluctant to use them, especially since the bullets seemed to have limited destructive power, unable to penetrate the animal’s hide.
Si Yan gave up on using bullets, and at the critical moment, she once again created space within her own body.
Heavens! Because the space was too small, she couldn’t fit large melee weapons, so she hadn’t put any in. Therefore, she currently had no large weapons to use!
However, she found something useful in a corner of the warehouse.
In the three years since the apocalypse, the science lab had developed various useful weapons for those with superpowers, and this bundle of silver thread in her corner was one such useful melee weapon.
It could be called a thread blade. In the apocalypse melee weapon atlas, it was also called: the blood-dripping guillotine.
Without hesitation, Si Yan quickly pulled the silver thread, wrapped one end around a tree branch, leaped over it, and wrapped the other end around another branch!
Her trap was very well concealed. After setting the trap, she saw the white tiger had already adjusted its stance and was ready to charge. Si Yan gave the tiger a provocative look, then climbed the tree!
Enraged, the white tiger leaped towards the tree, and soon, dense thread marks appeared on its body. Drops of blood flowed from the thread blade; its eyes, neck, and legs were all slashed, and the white tiger’s face showed disbelief.
Losing its strength and balance, the white tiger crashed heavily to the ground once more.
After observing it for a while and confirming it was alright, Si Yan deftly put away the thread blade and tied it to her waist.
The white tiger howled in pain as it fell to the ground.
She stood in the tree, observing the white tiger for a while, watching it struggle and bounce for more than ten minutes before becoming motionless. After waiting for another twenty minutes, and feeling that the white tiger was completely dead, Si Yan carefully climbed down from the tree.
Once on the ground, she picked up the dagger— which was nothing more than a toothpick to the white tiger— and cautiously approached it, touching its tail.
After repeatedly confirming that the white tiger was dead, she squatted down beside it, staring at it for a long time. Finally, she decided to conceal the presence of the dagger and dissect the tiger’s fur and flesh through the wound inflicted by the dagger.
