Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307: Chapter 304: Abyss Challenge

The moment Bai Su, Lu Tingyan, and the others stepped outside the city, they were met with a sky full of black miasma. Ferocious beasts could be glimpsed moving within it, their scarlet eyes fixed on the group, lying in wait like predators in the dark.

Bai Su raised a barrier to envelop them.

The beast tide had just passed, and the Dark God sleeping at the bottom of the Abyss was in a weakened state. Bai Su could still barely manage.

The group made their way toward the Abyss.

Not long after they leaped into the Abyss, the black mist within it billowed out, blotting out the sky as it rapidly spread over the land on both sides.

The soldiers on patrol inhaled the mist and collapsed unconscious on the spot.

The mist was all-pervasive, and even Bai Su’s barrier lost its effectiveness.

Everyone on the main street was still at work. Once the mist enveloped them, they all collapsed within three seconds.

It only took 30 seconds for the black miasma to permeate the entire city.

Just 30 seconds ago, the city had been lively and bustling. Now, it was as silent as a city of the dead.

Back in the mansion, the little ones couldn’t withstand it either and passed out. Wen Xiaobao and Wen Dabao were protectively huddled in the center.

A young Cat Beastman stood guard beside them.

He remained in a vigilant posture, even in his unconscious state.

Where a dense forest once stood outside the city, now only bare tree trunks and stretches of yellow sand remained.

Deep in the Abyss.

The ferocious beasts had followed them the entire way, just waiting for Bai Su’s barrier to weaken before pouncing.

Li Chenlin’s expression turned cold. He raised his tail high, looking like he was about to whip it forward.

Bai Su stopped him. "What are you doing?"

Li Chenlin said, "I’m going to smack them hard across the face."

Bai Su said, amused, "Why fight now? Save your strength for when we get to the bottom of the Abyss."

Li Chenlin replied, "But they dared to glare at you!"

Bai Su said, "...Fine, just glare back at them for me then."

Li Chenlin thought for a moment. "Okay, then."

He stuck close to Bai Su, his eyes scanning for any menacing beast that dared to glare at her, and he glared right back at every single one.

Yelias: "..."

After a moment, Li Chenlin glanced at Yelias. "Got any eyedrops?"

Yelias: "...I don’t have any."

Li Chenlin: "Aren’t you a doctor?"

Yelias: "Do doctors have to carry eyedrops with them at all times?"

Li Chenlin: "You’re a really incompetent doctor."

Yelias: "..."

Bai Su: "...Alright, Li Chenlin. If your eyes are tired from glaring, take a rest."

Li Chenlin sounded a little aggrieved. "Susu, are you siding with this incompetent doctor and scolding me?"

Bai Su was already an expert at placating him. "I’m just worried about your eyes."

The tips of Li Chenlin’s ears turned red. "Okay, then."

Wen Lan: ’...Stupid snake.’

Feeling uneasy, Lu Tingyan double-checked with Yelias. "The spider silk hasn’t broken, has it? Are you sure it will hold?"

Yelias nodded. "Don’t worry. There’s a whole bundle of silk lines. Even if one person’s snaps, we have backups from the others."

Before they descended into the Abyss, Yelias had attached a strand of spider silk to each person. The strands were long enough for them to explore the very bottom.

If any danger arose, Yelias could manipulate the silk to pull everyone back to the clifftop.

The farther down the chasm they descended, the fewer ferocious beasts they encountered.

Lu Tingyan said, "Something’s not right. Everyone, stay alert."

The others nodded.

Although Bai Su’s barrier could ward off the surrounding miasma, visibility was steadily decreasing. The beams from their flashlights penetrated less and less of the gloom.

Yelias shielded Bai Su from behind, while the other three men formed a fan shape ahead of them, clearing a path.

This was the formation Lu Tingyan had arranged with them beforehand, designed to protect Bai Su in the center as much as possible.

The five of them landed steadily. In the vast Abyss, they were like a single grain of millet in the deep sea, a tiny glimmer of light. It was almost impossible to spot them without looking very closely.

The bottom of the deep, narrow chasm was like an undersea canyon. It was so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, even if it were daytime.

A thick, foul reek drifted on the wind, mingled with the stench of rotting corpses.

Lu Tingyan looked terrible.

His true form was that of a wolf, so his sense of smell was acute. To him, these thick, pungent odors were like a biochemical attack.

Bai Su pulled a black mask from her bag and handed it to him. "Here, wear this. It should help."

’Thankfully, she had prepared in advance and redeemed a gas mask from the System Mall.’

Lu Tingyan put on the gas mask, and the color returned to his face.
