When Beauty Meets Beasts Chapter 313 - She Would Be Dead!

Chapter 313: She Would Be Dead!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The beast’s name was Ah Jiang.

After knowing that he was safe, the last string of tension in his body suddenly loosened and he fainted.

Xing Chen threw him to the ground and ignored him.

Huanhuan took out a bone knife and began to dissect the body of the golden-tailed scorpion.

The sh.e.l.l of the golden-tailed scorpion was very hard. Huanhuan spent a lot of effort breaking off a piece.

She rubbed her sore arms and started to miss having Bai Di and the others around. They could cut through these hard things with a light swipe of their claws.

In the end, Huanhuan used the power of the lotus and Little Green to finally dissect the golden-tailed scorpion.

The tail hook of the golden-tailed scorpion was poisonous. This poison was considered a medicinal ingredient. The sh.e.l.l on its body could also be used as a material for alchemy.

Huanhuan couldn’t bear to waste them. After was.h.i.+ng them, she stored them all in the s.p.a.ce.

Today’s lunch was scorpion meat.

Almost all the beasts in the group of travelers were dead, leaving only the half-dead general. He was no threat at all, so Huanhuan did not have to worry about the supplies in her hands.

She took out various condiments and smeared them on the scorpion meat one by one. She then placed the meat on the fire to roast.

The rich fragrance of meat filled the air, making her mouth water. Even Xing Chen, who usually didn’t care about food, was interested in the scorpion meat she roasted.

Huanhuan divided the roasted meat into two portions. She gave the larger portion to Xing Chen and ate the smaller portion herself.

The outer layer of the meat was roasted until it was fragrant and crispy, but the meat inside was still very soft. When he took a bite, the fragrance spread. After swallowing, there was a hint of sweetness.

It was delicious!

Huanhuan ate the meat slowly, her cheeks bulging.

The golden-tailed scorpion was huge. One scorpion was enough for her and Xing Chen to eat for three meals.

When she was full, Ah Jiang woke up.

His first reaction when he opened his eyes was to shout and jump. He looked extremely frightened.

His consciousness seemed to be still at the point where he was about to be eaten by the golden-tailed scorpion.

They waited until he was tired of screaming.

Huanhuan threw two palm-sized pieces of jerky at him. “Eat.”

Ah Jiang looked at the food in front of him and was stunned for a moment. Then, he grabbed the jerky and ate it eagerly.

Due to the fact that he had eaten too quickly and the dried meat was very hard, he choked and his face flushed.

Huanhuan took out another pouch of water and handed it to him.

Ah Jiang quickly took the pouch and gulped down the water. He actually drank the entire pouch in one go.

When he realized this, he immediately put down the empty pouch and looked at Huanhuan eagerly. “Is there any more water?”

Huanhuan said slowly, “I can only give you a pouch of water a day. You’ve already drunk all your day’s worth.”

Ah Jiang was immediately anxious. “Why didn’t you say so?!”

The lotus immediately sprang out, its pink petals quickly turning black.

It opened its petals and bared its sharp fangs. It bared its teeth at Ah Jiang and threatened, “Watch your tone when you talk to my mother.”

Ah Jiang was immediately terrified.

The lotus flower in front of him was especially big. If it really bit him, his entire head would be bitten off!

He apologized shakily. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry!”

The skullcap snorted.

Under its intimidation, Ah Jiang was much more obedient. He did not dare to shout at Huanhuan anymore. He hunched his shoulders and looked pitiful. “One pouch of water is really not enough. Can you give me another pouch? Just one more pouch is enough!”

Huanhuan said slowly, “Actually, according to your previous records of plotting against us, I shouldn’t give you a single drop of water. However, seeing that you’re still useful, I’ll still give you a pouch of water every day so that you can live. If you think it’s too little, we can send you back now and throw you to the golden-tailed scorpions.”

Ah Jiang trembled at the thought of those golden-tailed scorpions that ate people without blinking. He forced a smile that was uglier than crying. “It’s so troublesome for you to send me around. Forget it.”

“It doesn’t matter. We’re bored. We won’t find it troublesome at all.”

Ah Jiang shut his mouth resentfully, not daring to bargain with her again.

This team had gone from more than 20 people to 10. Now, there were only three people left. Their numbers had plummeted.

The supplies of the group of travelers were all thrown away by the beasts when they fled. When Ah Jiang escaped, he fled in his beast form. When he transformed into his human form, he was naked.

He could only continue to travel in his beast form.

Ah Jiang’s beast form was also a jackal. He and Xin Hong were brothers, but he had just awakened his beast soul and was far weaker than Xin Hong.

Huanhuan made a simple version of a sand sled with the planks in the s.p.a.ce. She put the rope in front of the sled around Ah Jiang’s neck.

She and Xing Chen sat on the sand sled and let Ah Jiang drag it forward.

Ah Jiang was quite unwilling at first. However, Huanhuan offered to increase the pouches of water to two a day. Ah Jiang immediately agreed.

The tall jackal sped through the sand, dragging the sand sled behind him.

There was a lot of sand in the hot wind. Huanhuan crossed her legs and basked in the sun leisurely. It felt good to ride in a sled!

This was Xing Chen’s first time experiencing something like this. At first, it felt a little novel, but after sitting on it for three days, he no longer had any interest in it.

While Xing Chen was not paying attention, Huanhuan quietly took out the stone slab from her s.p.a.ce and told Bai Di that she was about to go to the City of 10,000 Beasts.

After traveling for two days and two nights, they finally walked out of the endless desert in the early morning of the next day.

Green plants began to appear in his vision, and the air gradually became moist.

When they found the first water source, Ah Jiang plunged into the water and took a quick shower.

Xing Chen also took a shower.

The way he bathed was rather strange. After taking off his clothes, he sank to the bottom.

She didn’t see him come out for a long time. There wasn’t even a ripple on the water.

Ah Jiang couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t tell me he drowned?”

Huanhuan indicated that she didn’t know.

Ah Jiang looked at the water several more times. It had been so long. Any normal person would have suffocated. No matter how good he was at swimming, it was impossible for him not to release any bubbles in the water.

Huanhuan thought to herself, ‘Why don’t I take this opportunity to run away?’

She was about to take her first step when she heard the sound of water.

Xing Chen emerged from the water.

He strode out of the water.

The aura of the strong made Ah Jiang involuntarily lower his head in respect.

Huanhuan didn’t dare to look too long. She quickly looked away and was secretly glad that she didn’t run. Otherwise, if she was caught by the demon king, she would be dead!

Xing Chen was dressed now. His short, grayish-white curly hair was still dripping, and his pale skin was covered in a layer of water. He looked at Huanhuan and asked, “Aren’t you going to take a shower?”

Huanhuan quickly waved her hand. “I like the feeling of being covered in sand. I won’t bathe!”

Xing Chen: “…”

His expression was really hard to describe.
