Sword Sanliu felt the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast behind him, and his face instantly turned ashen.
He saw Ye Ling, who had stopped ahead, and in that instant, he understood everything, his expression twisting.
"Wang Liren!!!"
Sword Sanliu roared sternly, "Even if I die, I will not let you go!"
"Die!!!" The Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast roared and swallowed Sword Sanliu whole.
"Being swallowed by the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast, he should be thoroughly dead." Ye Ling, from a distance, confirmed that Sword Sanliu would not survive, so he used runes to conceal his aura and prepared to leave.
However, the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast that swallowed Sword Sanliu seemed to know Ye Ling's location all along. It suddenly lunged towards Ye Ling, simultaneously spewing out a large amount of poisonous gas that dispersed into the heavens and earth.
In an instant, the plants on the third level of the secret realm were corroded clean, and countless living beings instantly turned into withered bones!
The third level of the secret realm was sealed by the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast's potent venom!
"That guy can actually know my location!"
Seeing the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast charging at him, Ye Ling's expression changed slightly. He quickly condensed chains with runes, entangling the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast, attempting to slow it down.
However, as soon as Ye Ling's rune chains entangled the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast, they were corroded by the potent venom on the beast's skin!
"Why is this thing so poisonous?"
Seeing that the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast could corrode his rune chains, Ye Ling's expression changed slightly. He dared not use his Devouring Domain to extract the beast's cultivation and fled again!
But no matter how far Ye Ling tried to shake off the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast, it would quickly catch up, as if Ye Ling had a tracker on him!
At this moment, Xiao Mao Mao once again poked its head out and weakly asked Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, can I speak now?"
Ye Ling, while dodging the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast's venomous attacks, quickly said to Xiao Mao Mao, "What do you want to say?"
Xiao Mao Mao pointed at the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast chasing Ye Ling from behind and said to Ye Ling, "I think I can be friends with it."
"Be friends?" Da Feng Novel Network
Hearing Xiao Mao Mao's words, Ye Ling was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Xiao Mao Mao shook its head, "I'm not sure... but I feel a sense of closeness to it in my heart. It won't hurt me!"
"Isn't that just an illusion?"
Ye Ling glanced back at the ferocious-looking Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast, feeling that it could crush Xiao Mao Mao into a meat patty with a single swipe!
Xiao Mao Mao said firmly, "It's not an illusion! I'm very sure of this. Let me go over!"
"This..."
Ye Ling was somewhat hesitant, but he glanced at the sky and earth sealed by the poisonous gas and knew that he couldn't escape this place without dealing with the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast.
"Fine, Mao Mao, you go try. I'll protect you from behind!" Ye Ling quickly made a decision and let Xiao Mao Mao out.
"En!"
Xiao Mao Mao responded, flapped its wings with effort, flew out of Ye Ling's embrace, and headed towards the pursuing Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast!
Ye Ling watched as the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast got closer and closer to Xiao Mao Mao, his attention fully focused, his spiritual energy circulating wildly within him.
As long as the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast showed the slightest sign of attacking Xiao Mao Mao, he would unleash his full power to save Xiao Mao Mao!
"Roar—!"
At this moment, the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast roared fiercely, its eyes bloodshot. It opened its massive maw towards Xiao Mao Mao, seemingly about to swallow it whole!
"It really was an illusion!"
Seeing this, Ye Ling immediately condensed a demonic sword in his hand and thrust it towards the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast's forehead, attempting to kill it with one blow!
After all, he still had two Myriad Nether Grasses. After killing the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast, he could use them to detoxify himself and wouldn't necessarily die!
However, just as Ye Ling's sword was about to pierce the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast's head, the beast suddenly stopped and lay down in front of Xiao Mao Mao.
"This is..."
Seeing the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast's actions, Ye Ling disregarded the risk of backlash and forcibly withdrew his sword.
"You, you are..."
The Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast stared blankly at Xiao Mao Mao with its two bell-sized eyes and trembled, "Xiao Bai? No... you're not Xiao Bai, you're Xiao Bai's daughter?"
Xiao Mao Mao flapped its wings, its big eyes blinking, and asked the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast, "Big guy, do you know who I am?"
"Of course I know... how could I not know?" The Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast's eyes welled up with tears, and its massive body trembled slightly.
"How many years... I've finally found you!"
"Child, get behind me, I'll deal with that scoundrel first!" Saying this, the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast glared at Ye Ling again, its eyes filled with killing intent.
"How dare you imprison Xiao Bai's daughter, I will never forgive you!"
"Wait! Big guy!"
Seeing that the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast was still about to attack Ye Ling, Xiao Mao Mao's expression changed slightly, and it quickly said, "Wait! Ye Ling is not a bad person!"
"Child, you are inexperienced and cannot distinguish between good and bad... Humans are all despicable beings, you have definitely been deceived by him!" the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast said in a deep voice.
"This is actually quite true..."
Ye Ling could not argue with the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast's assessment.
After all, Xiao Mao Mao had indeed been tricked into his possession.
Although it was a deception without malicious intent, it was still deception.
However, Xiao Mao Mao firmly stood in front of Ye Ling and stared at the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast, saying, "No! Ye Ling is a good person! He saved my life, and I won't let you hurt him!"
"You..."
Seeing Xiao Mao Mao's resolute stance, the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast sighed heavily, "Fine, for your sake, I won't kill him."
Ye Ling smiled at the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast, "You should actually thank Xiao Mao Mao. If it weren't for her, you would already be dead."
"What a sharp-tongued brat." The Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast looked at Ye Ling coldly, "I have poisoned to death supreme experts before, what are you?"
"Coincidentally... I also just killed a supreme expert not long ago, and I'm currently preparing to kill a second one," Ye Ling said with a light smile.
"Hmph! Boasting." The Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast sneered, completely disbelieving Ye Ling's words.
It admitted that Ye Ling indeed had some strength, but it could tell at a glance that Ye Ling was not a supreme expert.
No matter how strong Ye Ling was, he couldn't possibly kill a supreme expert.
Not even the weakest supreme expert!
"For the sake of Xiao Bai's child, I will not kill you. Return the Myriad Nether Grass, and you can leave," the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast said coldly.
"No, the Myriad Nether Grass is of great use to me, and I cannot return it to you." Ye Ling refused without hesitation. "If you truly don't want to harm Xiao Mao Mao, then return to the medicinal field."
"Kid, don't push your luck!"
The Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast was once again angered by Ye Ling. Purple energy surged from its body, and it said coldly, "Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Seeing that the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast was still intent on attacking Ye Ling, Xiao Mao Mao panicked and immediately said, "B-big guy! I forbid you from attacking Ye Ling, o-otherwise... I'll break off our friendship!"
"You!"
Hearing Xiao Mao Mao's words, the Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast's aura instantly vanished. It was completely subdued by Xiao Mao Mao.
The Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast sighed, then said, "Fine... I don't want the Myriad Nether Grass anymore."
"Child, come here. From now on, you will follow me, and I will protect you."
Xiao Mao Mao shook its head again and said in a childish voice, "No... I want to follow Ye Ling."
The Ten Thousand Poisonous Beast was instantly petrified!
