Chapter 314 Human Females Fleeing in the Beast World 42
"Tell me first, who exactly is behind you?"
While dealing with him, Shen Chumo secretly took out a few talismans from her spatial bag.
The black panther orc merely let out a disdainful snort.
"You have no right to know."
He then leaped forward, his sharp claws whistling through the air, aiming straight for Shen Chumo's throat.
Shen Chumo's eyes sharpened, and she quickly dodged to the side while chanting incantations, activating a "Wind Blade Talisman" in her hand.
In an instant, several transparent wind blades appeared out of thin air, like sharp blades, slicing towards the black panther orc.
The black panther orc sensed danger and quickly waved his arms to defend himself.
The wind blades sliced through his skin, making a sizzling sound and leaving bloody marks, with a faint smell of blood filling the air.
Seeing that the Wind Blade Talisman was effective but failed to seriously injure the Black Panther Beastman, Shen Chumo gritted her teeth and took out the Flame Burst Talisman and the Lightning Strike Talisman in succession.
As the talisman was activated, a ball of scorching flames instantly enveloped the black panther orc, followed by a thick bolt of lightning that struck him hard from the sky.
With a deafening roar, the powerful impact sent the black panther orc flying, crashing heavily into the alley wall. The wall instantly cracked, and bricks and stones rained down.
The black panther orc lay on the ground, breathing weakly, his fur charred black, his skin burned and electrocuted in many places, and blood gushing out continuously.
His eyes were filled with fear and resentment; he clearly hadn't expected Shen Chumo to have such formidable abilities.
"Who exactly are you? How could you possibly possess so many innate talents and supernatural abilities?"
Shen Chumo looked down at him.
"You have no right to know."
After saying that, Shen Chumo slashed his throat with her sword.
Seeing that the black panther beastman was lifeless, Shen Chumo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Moonlight filtered through the broken clouds, casting long shadows of Shen Chumo in the alley. A few strands of hair clung messily to her sweat-drenched cheeks, and her eyes still held the vigilance and ruthlessness of battle.
Shen Chumo took a deep breath, slowly squatted down, and began to search the black panther beastman's body.
Her fingers moved quickly and skillfully through the orc's clothing, leaving no corner untouched as to any possible clue.
Just as she was about to touch a hard object in the orc's pocket, a sharp siren sounded in the distance.
Shen Chumo's heart tightened. She knew that the intense fighting had been too loud and had attracted the beast police.
In this beast realm, although the strong are respected, openly killing someone can bring unnecessary trouble, especially since there may be complex forces involved behind the police.
Not to mention she's human; if she's captured, even Helen wouldn't be able to protect her.
She gritted her teeth, quickly put the hard object into her spatial storage, gave up searching further, and got up to flee the scene.
However, after taking only a few steps, they heard the animal police shouting from not far away: "Stop! Don't move!"
Shen Chumo looked back and saw several beams of flashlights flickering in the darkness, approaching the alley where she was.
Shen Chumo didn't dare to delay and ran towards the other end of the alley.
Her figure appeared as a black phantom in the moonlight, her steps light yet swift.
The alley was narrow and winding, and Shen Chumo weaved through the intricate network of alleys.
The animal police were hot on their heels, calling for backup over their walkie-talkies as they chased after them.
Shen Chumo was anxious. She knew that if she kept running, she would be caught sooner or later, and she had to find a way to get rid of these beast guards.
Suddenly, she saw an abandoned warehouse ahead, its door half-open and the inside pitch black.
Shen Chumo didn't have time to think and rushed into the warehouse.
Just as she was about to use the invisibility talisman, a pair of hands suddenly appeared from behind her and patted her on the shoulder.
Shen Chumo's heart tightened, and almost instinctively she turned around quickly. A poisoned dagger had appeared in her hand without her noticing, and she stabbed it at the person behind her without hesitation.
However, when she saw the other person's face clearly, her movements froze instantly—it was Pei Yan.
Pei Yan slightly turned his body, easily avoiding the fierce attack. At the same time, he reached out and gently grasped Shen Chumo's wrist, saying in a low voice, "Being too hasty is not a good thing."
Shen Chumo frowned and questioned, "Did you send those people just now?"
Pei Yan raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you want to ask me now?"
At this moment, the footsteps of the animal police outside the warehouse grew closer and closer. They were talking loudly, and the beams of their flashlights shone through the half-open door, waving around inside the warehouse.
Shen Chumo took a deep breath, suppressing the doubts and anger in her heart.
She knew that this was not the time to ask questions; getting rid of the animal police was the top priority.
"Come with me."
Pei Yan walked to the other side of the warehouse. Shen Chumo hesitated for a long time, then put away the invisibility talisman and followed him.
Pei Yan led Shen Chumo to a place filled with old wooden crates. He squatted down, gently moved a few crates aside, and revealed an iron plate hidden on the ground.
There was a small pull ring on the iron plate. Pei Yan grasped the ring and pulled hard. The iron plate slowly rose, revealing a dark passage leading underground.
"Hurry up and go down," Pei Yan urged.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Chumo quickly climbed down the ladder in the passage.
Pei Yan followed behind her and closed the iron plate again, plunging the passage into complete darkness.
Shen Chumo could hear her own rapid breathing and Pei Yan's steady heartbeat; in the darkness, their breaths seemed to intertwine.
Pei Yan took out a faintly glowing bead from his pocket, illuminating the surroundings. The passage was not wide, and the walls were covered with moss, making it somewhat slippery.
They walked briskly along the passage, the sounds of animal police searching the warehouse occasionally reaching their ears, but as they went deeper, those sounds gradually became fainter.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a wooden ladder appeared at the end of the passage.
Pei Yan climbed the ladder first, gently pushed aside the wooden plank on top, peeked out to observe for a moment, and then gestured for Shen Chumo to follow.
They emerged from a hidden cellar and arrived at an abandoned courtyard.
The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the surrounding walls were dilapidated. Pei Yan led Shen Chumo through the courtyard and left through a gap in the wall.
Outside was a quiet street, the moonlight shining on the ground with a cool glow.
Pei Yan led Shen Chumo into a small alley and stopped in front of a secluded tavern.
"Let's go in, it's safe here," Pei Yan said.
The two entered the tavern, which was dimly lit. The bartender was dozing behind the counter, and the few customers were all engrossed in their drinks, completely unaware of their arrival.
Pei Yan led Shen Chumo to a private room in the corner and closed the door.
As the door closed, Pei Yan casually sat on the sofa, one long leg crossed over the other, his black, tousled hair gleaming softly in the light.
"You're incredibly bold. Not only did you dare to kill someone, but you also dared to follow me here. Aren't you afraid of me?"
Pei Yan looked at Shen Chumo with interest in his golden pupils.
