Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Chapter 254: Beast Tide Outbreak

A boundless, lush green forest was rapidly withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wherever the black aura spread, the trees withered instantly, leaving only bare branches.

A massive explosion at the bottom caused both sides of the Abyss’s opening to collapse, widening it to two or three times its original size.

The black aura surged out as if it had broken free from a seal, its spread completely dividing the entire Beast World Continent into north and south.

The dense black aura spread for a full day and night before it slowly began to show signs of stopping.

Beasts were corrupted by the darkness, rushing out of the forest and heading toward populated areas.

Coincidentally, the Qin family was patrolling the southern cliff edge, and the disturbance here caught their attention.

Qin Nuo led a large contingent of troops to investigate the situation.

Hearing the commotion, the beasts swarmed toward the south.

The well-trained Qin family soldiers released their spiritual power to resist.

Everyone clustered around Qin Nuo in the middle of the group.

Qin Nuo used her superpower to control the mutated male beasts, making them fight and kill each other to thin their own numbers.

Even so, the number of beasts was simply overwhelming.

Many soldiers were still attacked by the beasts during the fight; some were decapitated on the spot, while others had their limbs devoured.

The beasts seemed to be mad with hunger, grabbing any living Beastman they could find and beginning to tear at and devour them.

Ultimately, Qin Nuo’s power alone was limited, and she couldn’t handle it all.

The Qin Family had to send reinforcements. Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin also brought people to help.

Over a hundred thousand elite Qin Family soldiers stood at the edge of the black miasma, using their spiritual power to erect a powerful barrier. It blocked the attacks of the beasts outside, and the beasts trapped inside the barrier were quickly dealt with by Qin Nuo’s superpower.

The commotion here quickly alarmed the entire continent.

Nearby residents filmed countless videos and uploaded them to the internet.

Beasts on the rampage, a black aura obscuring the sun, and the Qin family descending like saviors from the heavens to resolve the entire crisis.

The internet instantly exploded.

[Is the apocalypse really coming?]

[The Qin family? It really is the Qin family!!]

[What did I tell you! The savior is obviously the young lady of the Qin Family! What the hell does it have to do with that damn Bai Su?]

[Bai Su’s fans, stop trying to leech off her fame! I’m speechless. The world is ending, and you’re still pulling this fandom marketing crap!]

[So disgusting! Fine, do your marketing stunts on a normal day, but what are you doing during a crisis like this? Just because you call yourself a savior, that makes you one?]

[Who the hell does Bai Su think she is? Just a cook who only knows how to make food. I dare you to call her a savior one more time!]

[I was neutral, but now I’m a hater. Aren’t all of Bai Su’s fans just brain-dead females? Always lost in your own little world. You think whatever you say is true?]

[She’s an international embarrassment! Can we just revoke Bai Su’s Snow Country citizenship?]

[To Bai Su’s illiterate fans, please read a book. The Qin Family were once the rulers of this entire continent, the Divine Envoys who served the Beast God!]

[They’re out on the front lines protecting everyone, fighting back the beast tide, while so many of their soldiers die in silence. And you, a damn cook, are in the back, stealing the Goddess’s credit and marketing yourself as the savior. Are you insane?]

[To be fair, haven’t the brains of some of these females turned to mush from eating Bai Su’s food?]

[There’s a reason the Food Safety Bureau tells us not to touch Bai Su’s food.]

[Food Safety Bureau: My innocence is finally clear!]

Bai Su herself had never claimed to be the savior, but she couldn’t stop the netizens from arguing, and she ended up being the scapegoat.

The apocalypse was coming. Many wealthy people had already caught wind of it, packing up their families and flying south on private jets.

Panic filled the streets.

With Lu Tingyan not present in the Snow Country to maintain order, the country descended into chaos.

Many lower-class males, desperate to survive, even began to rob stores directly, looting canned goods and nutrient solutions.

Banks, supermarkets, and shops fell one after another.

The general seized the opportunity to take control of the military headquarters with his men and surrounded Bai Su’s residence.

Wen Lan: "Out of personal morality. Bai Su is my sister-in-law and the mother of my two children. I’m here to protect her. Is there a problem with that?"

Bai Xiaolang stared at him with extreme distrust. "Who knows if you’re here to protect her or to spy on her."

Bai Su wasn’t worried about that. ’Once Lu Tingyan brings back the Crystal Stone, they’ll naturally be loyal to me. The responsibility and contract of the Guardian Beast God’s heir is carved into the very bones of their four great families. They could never possibly betray me.’

Bai Su asked, "Could the general outside have pledged allegiance to the Qin Family as well?"

Wen Lan: "I’m not sure about that, but they’re surrounding this place for one thing."

Bai Su: "What?"

Wen Lan: "My brother’s military authority."

"My brother has an elite Wolf Clan legion under his command. They’re invincible, each soldier capable of fighting a hundred men. But this legion only obeys the commands of the Totem Ring. Without the ring, that Lu Jian Country outside can’t command them."

Bai Su nodded slightly. "I think I remember Lu Tingyan mentioning something about that."

Wen Lan: "Lu Jian Country has brought a lot of men. If we can’t find the ring, the few of us won’t be enough. We’re outnumbered and it will be difficult to hold out. Besides, they’re armed."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaolang’s expression grew stern. "I can call over everyone from the Hunter Guild."

Wen Lan glanced at him. "How far away is your Bounty Hunter Guild? How many people are out on missions, and how many are left for you to mobilize? This happened too suddenly. Distant water can’t put out a nearby fire."

Bai Su thought for a moment. "So, as long as I find that ring, I can command that Wolf Clan legion and resolve the current crisis?"

Wen Lan nodded.

Bai Su frowned. "I don’t know where he put that ring..."

Bai Xiaolang said, "How about this: we’ll figure out a way to negotiate with that old man outside, and Mom, you’ll be in charge of finding the ring."

Bai Su nodded. "Okay."

Everyone quickly got busy.

No one noticed that amidst the hustle and bustle, Wen Xiaobao had secretly slipped out through a doggy door.

The little one cleverly entered a Full Beastification State, turning into a palm-sized baby rabbit. He concealed his spiritual power and used the cover of the grassy greenbelt next to the doggy door to escape.
