Shen Tang berbalik, dan beberapa beastman asing berbadan besar sudah mengelilinginya. Mata mereka dipenuhi kegembiraan dan niat jahat, kelikannya bikin mual.
Saat mereka melihat jelas wajah Shen Tang, mata para pria itu memancarkan kagetan luar biasa.
Betapa cantiknya female ini!
Melihat dari jauh saja sudah cukup mengungkap kecantikannya; dari dekat, mereka merasa tenggorokan kering, menelan ludah tak sadar.
Di tempat seperti Zona Gurun, bertemu female putih dan cantik seperti ini hampir mustahil. Kalau pun ada female, kebanyakan sudah bergabung dengan tim-tim kuat. Tapi yang ini kelihatan sendirian, seolah-olah tertulis "mangsa prime" di dahinya.
Beastman pemimpin yang tinggi kurus terkekeh, "Nak, sendirian di sini? Mau ikut tim kakak?"
"Susah kalau sendirian di luar sana; female sebaiknya tinggal di rumah istirahat, biarkan pria yang urus pekerjaan kotor dan melelahkan ini."
"Asal kau ikut dengan patuh, kami pasti manja-in kamu dengan baik dan nggak bakal bikin menderita."
Shen Tang menyipitkan mata saat mereka mendekat, senyum di wajahnya perlahan hilang.
Saat itu, pemimpin tinggi kurus tiba-tiba mengeluarkan bubuk dan meniupkannya ke arahnya.
Bubuk ini, dibeli dari pasar gelap, punya efek halusinogen dan pingsan. Bukan cuma female lembut; bahkan beastman tingkat tinggi kalau ngehirup jadi limpah dan kehilangan kemampuan bertarung.
Mereka tidak mau melukai female secantik ini; kalo kulit halusnya terluka, nanti gimana mau nikmati?
Namun begitu bubuk dilempar, dinding es tiba-tiba bangkit di depan female, dengan mudah mengkhianati taktik malu itu.
Langsung setelah itu, dinding es pecah jadi bilah-bilah es tak terhitung, terbang lurus ke arah mereka!
Lima atau enam pria itu sempat nangis pun nggak, sudah ditusuk bilah es, jadi seperti sarang lebah, roboh ke tanah. Tubuh mereka hancur tak berbentuk, darah meresap ke tanah terbakar.
Sistem mengagumi gerak mematikan host yang semakin mahir, tak tahan puji-puji, [Host benar-benar luar biasa! Kamu seperti umpan alami di Zona Gurun. Ini tim ketiga yang terjebak, mengantarkan poin sebagai alat.]
Berburu spesies mutan jauh lebih lambat dari ambil poin langsung, kan?
Di Zona Gurun, tim beastman biasanya hati-hati, mencoba menghindar tim lain. Tapi dengan female cantik dan tampak tak berbahaya seperti kelinci murni berdiri di sana, para beastman longgar bewaspada, seperti ngengat ke api, mereka mengantarkan diri tanpa perlu dicari.
"Ini yang disebut, 'pisang di atas kata 'nafsu'." Shen Tang pernah memikirkan memakai topeng sembunyikan identitas, tapi nanti sadar penampilan aslinya lebih efektif.
Harus belajar memanfaatkan keuntungan sendiri; penampilan pun bagian dari strategi.
Dia melepas gelang tangan dari mayat, berhasil dapat poin, dan sekali lagi pakai kemampuan es, membekukan jadi patung es.
Telapak tangannya menutup.
Dengan ledakan, patung es hancur, tak tersisa bahkan mayat.
Shen Tang melirik poin di gelang tangan.
Dalam beberapa hari, dia sudah kumpul enam juta poin.
Bagi orang lain, kecepatan ini tak tercapai, tapi bagi Shen Tang, masih jauh dari cukup.
Dia butuh lebih banyak poin!
Shen Tang buka peta sistem lagi, titik emas menandai lokasi saat ini.
Dia perlahan menjauhi Zona Pemurnian yang dikendalikan Keluarga Yue, menuju Utara ke Zona Gurun. Di sana, dekat wilayah Klan Macan Tutul, salah satu kekuasaan tertinggi planet ini.
Shen Tang tidak tahu banyak soal Klan Macan Tutul, dan susah cari info relevan di jejaring, kebanyakan dokumen resmi membosankan, beberapa puluhan tahun lalu.
Tahun-tahun belakangan, media seolah diam kolektif, tidak ada yang berani sebar berita soal Klan Macan Tutul. Berbanding terbalik, Klan Serigala Keluarga Yue jauh lebih terbuka, ada foto Anak Muda Yue kecil dulu menjilat krim di hidungnya di pegangan beastayahnya.
Ehem, melenceng.
Tapi Shen Tang selalu merasa pengendalian info Klan Macan Tutul aneh ketat.
Tentu saja, mungkin cuma atasan nggak suka urusan pribadi terekspos, dan Shen Tang nggak repot gali lebih dalam, karena bukan urusannya.
Shen Tang lanjut pelajari rute peta. Wilayah Keluarga Yue di utara adalah wilayah Klan Macan Tutul, dan selatan adalah wilayah Klan Parasit.
Sebenarnya, dari sudut rute, belok selatan ke Klan Ular Hantu lebih dekat.
Tapi akhir-akhir ini, Shen Tang dengar banyak rumor soal Klan Parasit, menyatakan situasi di sana aneh, sangat misterius, dan dianggap tempat paling berbahaya di planet ini.
Zona polusi di sana beda dari yang lain, tidak ada spesies mutan tapi penuh tanaman merambat berduri dan tanaman mutan, bahkan spesies polusi tingkat tinggi jadi makanan.
Shen Tang turned around, and several unfamiliar, hulking beastmen had already surrounded her. Their eyes were filled with excitement and wicked intentions, greasy enough to make one feel nauseous.
When they got a clear view of Shen Tang’s face, those men’s eyes burst with intense amazement.
What a beautiful female!
Seeing her from afar was already enough to perceive her beauty; up close, they felt their throats go dry, involuntarily swallowing hard.
In a place like the Wasteland Zone, encountering such a fair and beautiful female was almost impossible. Even if there were females around, they were mostly with powerful teams. But this one here seemed to be all alone, practically with "prime prey" plastered on her.
The leading beastman chuckled, "Little sister, all by yourself here? Want to join brother’s team?"
"It’s tough to be alone out here; a female should stay at home and rest while the males handle such dirty and tiring tasks."
"As long as you obediently join us, we’ll definitely pamper you well and won’t let you suffer."
Shen Tang squinted her eyes as they got closer, the smile on her face gradually fading.
Just then, the tall and thin leader suddenly pulled out some powder and blew it at her.
This powder, bought from the black market, had hallucinogenic and comatose effects. It’s not just a delicate female; even a high-level beastman would be rendered powerless and limp upon inhalation, losing all combat ability.
They were unwilling to harm such a beautiful female; if her delicate skin got injured, how would they enjoy themselves later?
However, the moment the powder was thrown, an ice wall abruptly rose in front of the female, easily thwarting this shameless tactic.
Immediately following, the ice wall shattered into countless ice blades, flying straight at them!
The five or six men didn’t even have time to scream before they were pierced by the ice blades, becoming like a beehive, collapsing onto the ground. Their bodies were mangled and unrecognizable, blood soaking into the scorched earth.
The System admired the host’s increasingly proficient kill move, unable to resist singing praises, [The host is truly incredible! You are like a natural bait in the Wasteland Zone. This is the third team to walk right into your trap, delivering points as tools.]
Hunting mutant species is nowhere near as fast as snatching points outright, right?
In the Wasteland Zone, beastman teams are usually cautious, trying to avoid other teams. But with a beautiful and seemingly harmless little female like you standing there, like a pure little bunny, these beastmen let their guard down, like moths to a flame, they deliver themselves without the need for a search.
"This is what they call, ’a knife hanging above the word ’lust’." Shen Tang had considered wearing a mask to conceal her identity, but later realized her original appearance was more effective.
One must learn to leverage their own advantages; even appearance is part of the strategy.
She removed the wristbands from the corpses, successfully acquiring points, and once again used her ice ability, freezing them into ice sculptures.
Her palms closed together.
With a bang, the ice sculptures shattered, leaving not even a corpse behind.
Shen Tang glanced at the points on the wristband.
In just a few days, she had accumulated six million points.
For others, this speed was unattainable, but for Shen Tang, it was still far from enough.
She needed more points!
Shen Tang opened the system map again, a golden dot marked her current location.
She had gradually moved away from the Purification Zone controlled by the Yue Family, heading towards the northern Wasteland Zone. Over there, near the territory of the Leopard Clan, one of the top ruling powers of this planet.
Shen Tang did not know much about the Leopard Clan, and it was hard to find relevant information online, mostly boring official documents, some even dating back over twenty years.
In recent years, the media seemed collectively silent, with no one daring to spread news about the Leopard Clan. In contrast, the Wolf Clan’s Yue Family was much more open, with photos online of the Yue Family’s Young Master as a child licking cream off his nose held by his beastfather.
Ahem, digressing.
But Shen Tang always felt that the Leopard Clan’s control over information was strangely strict.
Of course, it might just be that the higher-ups didn’t like their private matters exposed, and Shen Tang didn’t bother delving deeper, as it wasn’t her concern.
Shen Tang continued to study the map routes. The Yue Family-controlled area to the north was the Leopard Clan’s territory, and to the south was the Parasite Clan’s area.
Actually, from a route perspective, detouring south to the Ghost Snake Clan was closer.
But recently, Shen Tang had heard many rumors about the Parasite Clan, stating that the situation there was peculiar, very mysterious, and deemed the most dangerous place on the planet.
The pollution zones there were different from others, with no mutant species but instead teeming with thorny vines and mutant plants, even high-level pollution species would end up as food.
