Chapter 45 Ch 45: Mission: Survive
"What is next?" Ye Xiao asked.
A strange smile appeared on Yu Rong\'s face. She deeply looked at Ye Xiao and spoke only one word: "Survive!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand and Ye Xiao felt like falling from a high place to the depth of hell. Everything around him suddenly became completely dark and the aura of death enveloped him from every direction. At the same time, he felt as if he has crossed layer after layer and was going to a certain fixed place.
Although the darkness remained the same with every change in each layer, the aura around him kept changing. From the aura of death, it became the aura of life, then the energy of extreme cold before suddenly turning into a scorching hot lava-like air that assaulted his skin and almost burned him. There were many changes, and when the changes stop, Ye Xiao found himself standing in a forest.
Dense trees filled with immense vitality were everywhere around him.
Although Ye Xiao was in a daze at first, but he soon came back to his senses. He still could not believe that he was transported here by Yu Rong with just a single wave of her hand. Most importantly, he actually went through so many layers filled with a different aura which made him think that everything he just experienced was nothing but a dream.
However, the word "Survive" was still reverberating in his ears.
As a reincarnated man, he knew very well that dangers are definitely around him. He could not afford to lose focus, he has to stay alert all the time.
As expected, it hasn\'t even been a minute, and the sounds of footsteps entered his ears.
"Heavenly Demon Pupils!"
Ye Xiao immediately activated the Heavenly Demon Pupil and the next moment, his pupils turned blood-red. At the same time, the trees and other things blocking his vision suddenly became transparent, and the next thing that entered his eyes was the army of a large number of puppets.
Yes, they were puppets.
Ye Xiao could not sense a single bit of vitality in their bodies.
However, although they were puppets, they looked exactly like humans. They could talk, think, and take action according to the situation. Each of these puppets was holding a weapon.
"Divine Inscription Puppets!"
Ye Xiao had encountered a Wooden Puppet in the Lost Forest of Red Moon. Because of the Divine Inscriptions, the Wooden Puppet was able to think and take action according to the situation. These human puppets were the same as well. So, Ye Xiao was able to immediately guess that it was a doing of Divine Inscriptions.
Most importantly, all these puppets were actually Chaos Dust Realm puppets. And their leader was even a Late Stage of Chaos Dust Realm puppet.
"Shua!"
"Ahh!"
Ye Xiao was still observing with the Heavenly Demon Pupil when a ray of light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Late Stage Chaos Dust Realm puppet and two beams of light shot at Ye Xiao.
This attack was extremely fast, so fast that Ye Xiao was unable to dodge.
Fortunately, he at least managed to tilt his body a little, causing a beam of light to pierce into his right shoulder while the second one missed.
Blood immediately flooded out of Ye Xiao\'s shoulder.
Ye Xiao immediately understood that he is not the match for this group of puppets. If there was just one or two, he could have dealt with them, however, there were hundreds of them. Ye Xiao was simply not their match.
"Why the hell does she send me here?"
Ye Xiao could not help but curse in his heart. He has no idea what motive Yu Rong has for sending him to this place and telling him to survive.
Damn, if he wants to live, he really has to survive no matter what.
Not being able to guess Yu Rong\'s thought process, Ye Xiao did not delve into this matter. Anyway, he doesn\'t have time at all.
He immediately turned around, his eyes returning to normal, and started running. He was running to survive.
After running for less than 10 meters, Ye Xiao suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. A strong sense of danger rose from the bottom of his heart.
Without any hesitation, Ye Xiao rolled behind a tree.
A sharp whistling sound rang out. The trunk of the tree where Ye Xiao temporarily hid himself exploded open. An arrow came out of the tree and shot toward Ye Xiao.
"Puff!"
Ye Xiao did not expect the arrow to be so powerful. He again tried to dodge, however, the arrow still pierced into his left abdomen.
Before Ye Xiao could even groan in pain, another wave of whistling sound came.
Ye Xiao\'s pupils suddenly contracted. He immediately took out the Infinity Edge Blade and blocked the arrows that came flying through the tree trunk.
"What a terrifying archery skill, it actually calculated my escape route!" Ye Xiao leaped up and did not stop running.
Ye Xiao didn\'t expect the puppet\'s archery to be this powerful. If this wasn\'t a forest but a flat land, the second arrow would have already taken his life.
Even though he managed to block the second arrow, Ye Xiao\'s situation was still extremely dangerous. He could feel the crazy loss of his blood and the leftover energy from the sharp arrow that pierced into his body was rampaging inside him.
If it wasn\'t for Ye Xiao going through Chaotic Transformations that completely changed his body from the inside out, he would have died from the violence inside his body.
As Ye Xiao kept running, he saw a mound in front of him that was covered by shrubs and plants. He immediately rushed out, jumped onto the mound, and rolled to the back of the mound.
The moment Ye Xiao landed, there was the sound of another arrow whistling through the air. Like a white ray of light, an arrow flew through the trees and flew past the mound, crushing a bush.
After hiding his body, Ye Xiao immediately used Life Recovery to heal his wounds. There was a terrifying wound on his shoulder and a bone-deep hole in his left abdomen.
With his Life Recovery skill, although Ye Xiao was able to quickly heal his wound, the violent energy rampaging inside his body did not disappear. It was still troubling Ye Xiao.
"This leftover energy is not poisonous, otherwise, with my poison immunity, how could I be in so much pain? Then what could it be?"
Ye Xiao\'s eyes suddenly flashed as he thought of something.
"Chaos Energy!"
Yes, it must be chaos energy!
Ye Xiao was now sure.
The current Ye Xiao was a Third Cycle of Chaotic Transformation warrior. He has yet to step into the Chaos Dust Realm. So, he was still unable to use and refine chaos energy.
Now, that there was foreign chaos energy inside his body, Ye Xiao has no way of controlling it. Thus, the current situation occurred.
Ye Xiao immediately wanted to get rid of this extra Chaos Energy, but he did not have time. The footsteps got very close to Ye Xiao already.
The sound of clothes tearing through the air entered his ears. It was those puppets approaching quickly.
Ye Xiao couldn\'t care less, he took a deep breath and immediately thought of something. He took off his clothes and threw them out.
Suddenly, with the sharp whistling sound of the arrow, the clothes that were thrown were pierced through by the arrow. The arrow was torn into flying pieces by Chaos Energy. The arrow carrying the white flowing light pierced through the clothes and disappeared into the ground.
The moment Ye Xiao\'s clothes were hit by the ray of light, he pounced forward. The intense pain had already caused him to break out in cold sweat, but he did not hesitate at all.
If he did not get rid of the puppets holding bows and arrows, he might die here!
If he wants to live, he either has to successfully escape, or get rid of at least the puppets holding bows and arrows.
Seven or eight meters away, a puppet had just released the bowstring in his hand. The moment he saw Ye Xiao lunge at him, his expression changed and he immediately pulled out an arrow from behind his back.
However, how could Ye Xiao allow him to calmly shoot the next arrow? His figure flashed and the next moment, he was already in front of the puppet.
Just as the arrow was pulled out from the puppet\'s back and nocked onto the longbow, the puppet saw a blade light fall down like a waterfall and it was extremely sharp.
The puppet actually showed an ugly expression on its stone face as the longbow in its hand bent and blocked horizontally.
"Clang!"
The Infinity Edge Blade collided with the bow. The longbow was swung away with a sharp crack.
