Capítulo 1326: Chapter 1294: Antidote and Poison
“What the hell, is this poison or an antidote?!” Ye Chen shouted loudly before collapsing completely, losing all consciousness.
…
Ye Chen had no idea how much ti had passed when he slowly woke up. When he ca to, everything around him was pitch black, and he couldn’t see anything clearly. Relying on his night vision ability, Ye Chen could barely make out his surroundings. The Black Bear, with its belly split open, lay beside him, with its innards spilled all over the ground. Feeling weak all over, Ye Chen staggered to his feet and prepared to take the bear paw from the Black Bear.
Bear paw is the most delicious delicacy in this world, and this one was from the Bear King, the king among bears, extrely powerful and strong. After chopping off the bear paw, Ye Chen got ready to start a fire to grill it. To enjoy grilled bear paw, honey is a must – the two are inseparable. Ye Chen is quite particular about his food.
Where there’s a Black Bear, there’s naturally honey. Ye Chen fiddled with a beehive, got so Jade Brew, cleaned up the two bear paws, and removed the fur. The plump bear paws ignited Ye Chen’s appetite just by looking at them. He imdiately prepared to start grilling, applying so honey first, then began the grilling process. The grease was readily available, straight from the Bear King’s body, which he used to coat the bear paws.
As the bear paws roasted over the flas, waves of aroma began to spread. The enticing scent gradually dispersed, making Ye Chen almost want to take a bite. However, to achieve the best result, Ye Chen had to endure the hunger gnawing at him from within. All he could do was watch as the grease dripped from the roasting bear paws, almost unable to resist taking a bite.
“Damn, I haven’t even had a bite of this bear paw, yet it already slls insanely delicious, truly a world-class delicacy!” Ye Chen took a deep breath, hastily flipping over the two bear paws in his hands, confirming that they were indeed top-notch. The fragrance perated everywhere, and Ye Chen couldn’t help but taste one of the bear paws. Just that single bite made him long for more, and once he started, he couldn’t stop.
“Damn it, no wonder they say bear paw is a world-class delicacy, it’s absolutely true!” Ye Chen couldn’t help but exclaim, biting into the bear paw with large mouthfuls. It’s just a pity there was no bird’s nest to complent the bear paw, or else Ye Chen wouldn’t want to leave here no matter how much money was offered. Ye Chen devoured the bear paw voraciously, and a huge bear paw quickly filled his belly, yet he still didn’t seem satisfied. By then, the other bear paw was almost perfectly cooked as well.
Ye Chen ripped at the bear paw in his hand without hesitation, swallowing it in large gulps. The silky, tender bear paw at slid into his mouth, and Ye Chen thoroughly enjoyed the sensation, savoring the bear paw at while basking in its sumptuous flavor.
In one go, Ye Chen devoured both bear paws but still didn’t feel satisfied. These two bear paws weighed several pounds each. After finishing them off, he surprisingly felt nothing, as if he hadn’t eaten at all. Pondering this, he eyed the bear whose paws he had removed, appearing to be considering the other parts of the bear’s body. Ye Chen muttered to himself, “I wonder how the legs would taste.”
Saying this, Ye Chen imdiately went into action, severing the bear’s legs and starting a barbeque. After a round of grilling, the bear’s legs exuded waves of aroma as well. All kinds of stuff like honey were sprinkled on them, but after a short while, Ye Chen found that the at on the legs was indeed less tasty. Comparing it to the at on the bear paws was like comparing heaven and earth.
Ye Chen imdiately threw the at in his hand to the ground, spat out two mouthfuls, and said, “Cursed thing, eating such at is simply a waste of my mood!”
Ye Chen was furious at how much effort he wasted grilling that awful at. So he threw the food on the ground in frustration, lay down nearby, and began to sleep. After eating his fill, he felt a bit sleepy. Lying on the ground, despite the cave reeking of fresh blood, it didn’t affect Ye Chen’s sleep. Lying to the side, he began dreaming about his life.
Since the day he t Li Ruo, it seed his life never had a dull mont. Ye Chen closed his eyes and imagined various scenes in his mind. Everything seed so vivid in his mind’s eye. Very soon, Ye Chen was fast asleep, and as they say, daydreams carry into the night. Ye Chen’s dayti thoughts turned into his nightti dreams. Everything from the day entered Ye Chen’s dreams.
……
However, Ye Chen was soon awakened by such a dream. When he woke up, the outside world was already bright, with light illuminating the land. Even the cave entrance was covered with spider webs, with light glistening off the threads, emanating rays of brilliance. Ye Chen, eyes filled with curiosity, took a quick glance around, spotting a bear without paws or legs. That’s when Ye Chen rembered what he did last night. Displaying an awkward smile, he got up quickly from the ground, tidied up hastily, and swiftly darted out.
Ye Chen was constantly worried about ng Luo Yi’s safety. Although he had successfully diverted the Dark Elves’ pursuit, ng Luo Yi was, after all, a person without the strength to truss a chicken, so Ye Chen was very anxious.
After erging from the cave, Ye Chen headed toward the territory of the Elf Clan, carefully and cautiously searching for any clues on the ground. After walking for more than half a day, he still couldn’t find any trace of ng Luo Yi. Ye Chen believed that ng Luo Yi was a smart woman; she would definitely leave him so clues. With her intelligence, she would surely make various signals along the way.
Ye Chen furrowed his brow and imdiately changed direction. Since ng Luo Yi was so clever, she would know the enemy would expect her to go straight toward the Elf Clan’s territory, so she would opt for a detour. Sure enough, Ye Chen quickly found a mark left by ng Luo Yi in the reverse direction of the forest. A pale purple ribbon. Ye Chen pondered for a long ti before realizing it was material from ng Luo Yi’s dress. It turned out that she had torn her dress and scattered strips of it along the way.
Ye Chen decisively pursued the direction of the ribbon.
After about half a day, Ye Chen finally caught up with ng Luo Yi. She was very cautious in her movents, spending more ti hiding than escaping, having evaded several waves of pursuers. Without her caution, she might have already been caught by the Dark Elves’ pursuers. The journey had been filled with fear and apprehension for ng Luo Yi; without Ye Chen, she had to confront the pursuers alone.
ng Luo Yi took a short break hiding in the forest but was quickly startled awake by a rustling sound. Each sound along the way had the potential to keep her worried for a long ti, and the sudden noise made her tense.
“How can this be?!” ng Luo Yi wondered, puzzled. The pursuers had just passed. How co there were footsteps again? Did the enemy intensify their pursuit? Or had sothing happened to Ye Chen’s side? Just as she was curious, a hand stretched out from behind her, covering her mouth instantly. ng Luo Yi’s eyes widened; she knew she was dood. As she was about to struggle, a familiar voice whispered in her ear, “ng Luo Yi, it’s , Ye Chen, don’t scream!”
This voice lted ng Luo Yi’s heart instantly. Her tears flowed uncontrollably. In her most dangerous mont, the safest person appeared. ng Luo Yi was deeply moved. She turned to throw herself into Ye Chen’s arms, sobbing, “Ye Chen, you finally ca. If you hadn’t co, I might never have seen you again!”
“Silly, how could that be? You’re perfectly fine now, aren’t you?” Ye Chen smiled faintly, then said, “It’s okay now, I’ll bring you back safely!”
Ye Chen held ng Luo Yi’s arm and walked forward quickly. This ti, ng Luo Yi wasn’t afraid at all. She followed Ye Chen, eyes fixed on his broad shoulders, striding forward without any fear.
With Ye Chen by her side, ng Luo Yi no longer had to live a life of hiding, and she was tired of it. If it continued, she wasn’t sure if she would have the courage to live on; these days, if not for Ye Chen’s emotional support, she might not have survived.
With Ye Chen there, they didn’t have to fear any pursuers at all. As the saying goes, “Against a god, we slay the god; against a Buddha, we slay the Buddha.”
In just one day, the two returned to the Elf Clan’s territory. When ng Luo Yi stepped into the Elf Clan’s realm, she almost burst into tears, like a long-traveled wanderer suddenly returning ho. The excitent and exhilaration were hard for most people to fathom.
“Ye Chen, we’re finally ho!” ng Luo Yi exclaid, hugging Ye Chen as the Elf Clan’s soldiers ca out to greet them. They were well aware of what happened with the Dark Elves and were very concerned about the Elf Queen being captured. Should the Elf Queen be caught, the consequences would be dire. Seeing the Elf Queen return safely, the soldiers felt incredibly relieved.
“Yes, we’re ho!” Ye Chen nodded, then said, “We’ve finally made it back safely!”
Seeing the scene before him, Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitent as well. ng Luo Yi swiftly turned and leapt into the arms of those who had co to greet her, joining the entire Elf Clan in dance. Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief, never expecting that a narrow escape would feel like this.
