Chapter 348 Ch 348: Ye Xiao & Queen (???)

Ye Xiao was running for his life without looking back, covering an unknown distance before coming to a stop.

"Huff!" "Huff!"

He started gasping for breath, feeling like he had been running for several days and could not continue.

However, all of a sudden, he felt a chill on his back, as if his nemesis was right behind him.

Ye Xiao's body trembled uncontrollably. He slowly turned around but did not see anything. An uneasy feeling grew stronger in his heart.

"I should continue running!"

A thought appeared in Ye Xiao's mind as he looked ahead.

The path he was running on seemed never-ending, stretching as far as the eye could see, majestic yet desolate.

For the first time, Ye Xiao paid attention to the sky. It was as clear as day with the sun shining right above his head.

Ye Xiao started running again, covering hours.

The sun eased gradually towards the west, painting the horizon a dusky red.

Without warning, mist rose over the path at this moment. It was a rare occurrence Ye Xiao had seen in days. He was astonished because the mist was green.

He stopped running and started walking slowly.

The mist soon enshrouded the entirety of the path. Ye Xiao could no longer look far ahead.

The setting sun and fiery clouds over the horizon turned gradually green, creating an eerie sense of beauty.

Ye Xiao frowned, knowing that everything happening was obviously abnormal.

Everything was as quiet as ever. If there was a sound, it was just the sound of Ye Xiao's footsteps.

Seeing nothing out of the ordinary except the green mist, Ye Xiao hastened his steps and crossed this path as soon as possible.

The bizarre green sunset had dyed the western sky with its glow, but it too was about to disappear over the horizon.

Ye Xiao walked faster and faster before breaking into a sprint. He didn't want to linger around this odd and unfamiliar area.

All of a sudden, a sound was transmitted from somewhere ahead as if something was breaking through the ground with a rapidly increasing number and density.

Ye Xiao suddenly halted his steps to stare at the path in front of him where the ground was dotted with starry green specks, as though countless green pearls were scattered therein. Sparkling and translucent, they glittered under the dying glow of the sunset.

They were actually sprouts of plants. These inch-tall seedlings, which had broken through the ground, carried with them a beautiful glow of enchanting purity.

After a short pause, these sprouts began to emit rustling sounds as they started to grow at a visible rate. In mere moments, the patch of resplendent green vegetation had grown to full size.

The sun was sinking over the horizon and would soon disappear. Mist filled the air, blanketing the boundless desert with an eerie green veil.

Pop!

All of a sudden, numerous flowers bloomed. A dense fragrance spread everywhere, creating a surreal and somewhat intoxicating atmosphere.

Ye Xiao backed up a few steps only to find a similar sea of trees behind him. Obviously, these trees had just grown out.

"What the hell is going on?"

Ye Xiao could not help but mutter. He did not notice that the appearance of these trees had caused the worry and unease feeling in his heart to decrease a lot.

He looked around a bit and then continued to walk. He still had only one thing in mind, and that was to escape.

Along the way, he also kept observing the surroundings carefully, hoping to meet Queen and escape together.

"Just as they said, this Mystic Realm is too strange. As expected of a Mystic Realm from the forgotten era. I should have been more prepared before coming here. It would have been better if I had not brought Nuwang (Queen) here. She must have been caught in some sort of danger because of me. And now, I have no idea where to look for her."

Ye Xiao was regretful, but he could do nothing for the time being.

As he walked, Ye Xiao noticed another bizarreness of this place. The sun had already disappeared, and it should have been dark now.

However, instead of darkness, the entire sky and earth had turned green.

What Ye Xiao was completely unaware of was that this green environment had given him a chance to escape from the pursuit of that evil being. If not for the green hue suddenly appearing in the sky along with the setting sun, the evil being would not have hidden itself. It was most likely afraid of green or maybe the green environment.

This gave Ye Xiao an opportunity to go as far as possible in due time.

As the night was coming to an end, the mist slowly started disappearing. Along with the mist, the green hue also began thinning out. Slowly, this greenness disappeared completely.

This particular space inside the Mystic Realm was once again welcomed by a ray of sunlight. This ray of sunlight also provided an opportunity for that evil being to come out and chase after Ye Xiao relentlessly.

Ye Xiao was dead tired by now. He was also surprised at this. After all, he was no ordinary person but a Celestial Sovereign of Chaos. Even if he continued to be on the run for months, he would not be tired.

How could he get tired so easily?

Fortunately, that chill feeling had completely disappeared.

Ye Xiao stopped and sat down beside a huge tree. His body was already covered in sweat. He closed his eyes and did not notice that his breathing had gradually started weakening.

However, this was something that was happening to him. How long could he not notice?

In just a few minutes, he realized something was very wrong with him. With great difficulty, he opened his eyes again. He now had to exert a little force to breathe.

"Poison, I've been poisoned!" Ye Xiao muttered in shock. "How could that be? I have definitely not touched or eaten anything for days now. How could I get poisoned so easily?"

Ye Xiao kept racing his mind. With each passing second, he could feel his head getting heavier. If he doesn't do anything in time, he might die because of the poison.

All of a sudden, as if an electric current ran through Ye Xiao's body, he suddenly raised his head and muttered, "That fog... Yes, it must be it. That fog must be poisonous. For some reason, I felt nothing as long as the fog was there. However, when the fog disappeared, I started weakening, and now, I'm in such a situation!"

Everything was very bizarre from the moment Ye Xiao stepped on this path.

Ye Xiao forcefully took a deep breath again and started observing his body with great difficulty.

Very soon, he discovered green spots all over his body. These green spots must be the result of the poisonous fog.

At night, everything had gradually become green after all. And now, Ye Xiao's body had also started to show this symptom.

All of a sudden, a deep fear appeared in Ye Xiao's heart once again. This fear directly came from Ye Xiao's soul. It was the same as when Ye Xiao saw the evil being appearing.

Ye Xiao felt something and raised his head, only to see a dark shadow looming over him. It gradually became clear, and Ye Xiao could see that this dark shadow was actually the evil being he had seen before and was running from.

"Roar!"

This evil being had no facial features other than the portion of eyes that was empty, but it still let out a loud roar at Ye Xiao, causing Ye Xiao to shiver from head to toe. He wanted to run again, however, luck was not with him this time. He could not even move his leg because of the poison.

It slowly moved forward and brought its dark face right in front of Ye Xiao's, and started observing him with its empty eyes. This evil being clearly had no nose, but Ye Xiao could feel its breathing on his face.

Everything he was experiencing was simply too terrifying.

He was now in a helpless state. In the face of such danger, he could not even escape. He was completely paralyzed by the poison.

The Evil Being slowly extended its hand at Ye Xiao. Then with a huge index finger, it stroked Ye Xiao's face, creating a line full of blood on his cheek.

But that was not all.novE)lb-1n

From the wound on his cheek, Ye Xiao could feel an extremely strong energy invading his body. This energy was not only evil in nature, it also brought excruciating pain.

In the next second, dark energy could be seen squirming on Ye Xiao's face through his nerves. His eyes darkened completely.

It was also at this moment, that the Evil Being thrust its fist, which soon transformed into a blade, at Ye Xiao's abdomen, wanting to take his life.

"Stop!"

However, before its attack could reach Ye Xiao, several green vines grew out from the ground and tightly wrapped around the Evil Being, halting its attack.
