Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Chapter 297: Better Than Starving to Death

Bai Su extended her spiritual power underground. Her search target shifted from the scorched earth to the Dark Power.

Sure enough, the Dark Power was slowly seeping downward through the soil.

The Dark Power contained within each patch of scorched earth was seeping deeper, converging three meters underground where it was channeled together toward the city.

It was pointing directly toward the vegetable garden.

Bai Su had her people start digging.

With the soil cover gone, the underground Dark Power billowed out into the air.

And this was only a portion of it, just outside the city walls.

Below, there was a channel that formed a "river" of power, connecting to the city’s interior.

Lu Tingyan’s brow furrowed. Watching the Dark Power surge skyward, he also quickly sensed that something was amiss.

He ordered the men to keep digging.

The deeper they dug, the more physically drained the soldiers became. They grew dizzy, their vision blurred, and their ears began to ring.

Seeing this, Bai Su quickly released her Healing Power, enveloping the soldiers.

They were both flattered and startled, cautiously glancing at Lu Tingyan who stood nearby.

’The Leader’s Wife is personally channeling spiritual power to us... Is this really okay?’

Bai Su understood their expressions and said with an amused laugh, "What time do you think it is to be worrying about formalities? Just focus on digging. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered."

This Dark Power was clearly harmful to the body; she couldn’t just stand by and watch them get burned by it.

Although Lu Tingyan was prone to jealousy, he wasn’t so unreasonable as to get possessive at a time like this.

Enveloped by Bai Su’s Purification Power, the soldiers’ discomfort vanished instantly.

Many of them were hot-blooded bachelors who had never experienced being soothed and protected by a female’s spiritual power. They suddenly became as fired up as if they’d been shot with adrenaline, digging out the three-meter-deep channel in less than ten minutes.

The Dark Power that surged up from below nearly devoured Bai Su’s Purification Power. Fortunately, she reacted in a flash, increasing her spiritual power to shield the few soldiers in the trench.

’I can’t imagine what would happen if such concentrated Dark Power came into direct contact with human skin. Even if it didn’t kill you, it would flay you alive.’

This Dark Power seemed different from what they had encountered before; it was significantly more aggressive and corrosive.

Lu Tingyan had the soldiers pulled up and sent a sensor probe down to scout the path.

As the probe went deeper, a topographical map of the area below quickly formed on Lu Tingyan’s terminal, including the path of the Dark Power.

Bai Su leaned her head over to look. "That direction is... the vegetable garden. I knew I was right."

Lu Tingyan asked, "What did you guess?"

Bai Su explained, "This power is aimed directly at our vegetable garden."

"It’s because it discovered that the people here all eat fresh food. So it’s using this method to bury the toxins underground for the seedlings to absorb."

"That way, all the vegetables will become tainted with the toxins of the Dark Power."

"Haven’t many of the females in our city been getting sick and running fevers lately? Their immune systems have suddenly weakened, and a lot of the seedlings in the vegetable garden have started to turn yellow."

"As more and more toxins accumulate in everyone’s bodies, their ability to resist will grow weaker and weaker."

"By the time the second beast tide breaks out, it will be able to take us down in one fell swoop."

Lu Tingyan’s brow tightened. "This also means it’s evolving."

Bai Su nodded. "When it first awoke, it was just a mindless beast. Both the strength and the methods of its attacks were naive."

Lu Tingyan patted her head reassuringly. "Don’t worry, we will definitely defeat it."

Bai Su said, "I want to find a chance to go into the Abyss and see it."

Lu Tingyan shot back, "Absolutely not!"

Bai Su added, "With you."

Lu Tingyan conceded, "Alright then."
