VOLUME 2: The Third Princess Overturns The World

CHAPTER 226: Green mist forest (2)

Traversing the green mist forest to get across the central region would take approximately a year. While Yu Yue and the others traveled and honed their combat abilities they also gathered rare medicinal herbs and other various rare stuff aside from catching spirit beasts now and then.

"Yu Yue, are we really heading in the right direction? Why haven't we met a single person yet?" little fatty- errrr De Han couldn't help but asked in contemplation. Yu Yue changed the way he addressed him as he isn't the little fatty she meets long ago, but it sometimes slips her mind.

Everyone also looks at her at the same time, they too were wondering the same question, they have been here for five months already and they still haven't met a single soul. None of them knew how long would it take to cross the green mist forest in order to reach the central region.

"That... according to the spirit beasts little Shan Shan talk to we were heading in the right direction" she replied thoughtfully. "but it's indeed weird that we haven't met a single person until today. There are a lot of people who go here to experience learning" she said with a frown.

"Shan'er can you ask the spirit beasts when was the last time they saw humans here?" Tian Wuxian look at little Shan Shan who was holding the fat little fox. She hands him over to Shui Xian Zi as she took her flute and summons the nearby spirit beasts.

Not long after a horde of spirit beasts march towards their way, their skin almost crawling at the sight, there are actually more than a hundred of them who answered her calls.

The others retreated further away as she talks with them, spirit beasts are sensitive to human presence. Although little Shan Shan could control their minds, she isn't strong enough to have absolute control over them, and if she forces it she would suffer the backlash.

Besides she doesn't like to forcibly control the spirit beasts to do as she wishes unless necessary.

"what's wrong?" Yu Yue asked when she saw her frowning as she joined them.

"Miss, they said there are a lot of powerful humans in the forest. But for some reason, they started to mysteriously disappear when a black fog comes. The spirit beasts also said they could feel a terrifying aura all over the place that's why we meet a lot of them as they are migrating to the outer area" she said solemnly.

Everyone's expression sank, they look around alertly. If they didn't know they might not have noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

"a black fog you said?" Hai Xingze muttered with horrified eyes.

Everyone looks at him with weird expressions, "why? Do you know what is it?" Tian Wuxian frowned.

"no, but if I'm not dreaming it must be it" his fingers pointed at their backs, and before they could turn around they could feel a sinister aura fastly approaching them.

They all broke with cold sweats as they stiffly turned their necks when they saw the dense black fog their faces paled.
