The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Xia Shi looked around the room, and the past experiences that Murong Qiu Shui had experienced here emerged in her mind. She gently stroked the edge of the stone table with her hand, which felt rough and cold. She slowly asked, "Brother, why did Murong Qiu Shui lead us here?"

Xiao Zhu thought for a moment and answered, "I can think of two possibilities. The first possibility is that Murong Qiushui knew that she couldn't escape from our pursuit, so she used this cave to hold us back, and she took the opportunity to leave through the back door of the cave."

"But she obviously didn't do anything against the law, why must she hide from us?" Xia Shi asked puzzledly.

"Shi'er, do you still remember what she said? Maybe there are many things she doesn't want us to know, so she doesn't want to face us." Xiao Zhu explained.

Xia Shi nodded hesitantly, then asked, "What is the second possibility?"

Xiao Zhu sighed and said with sadness: "The second possibility is purely my guess. She has gone through so much hardship to save her brother over the years, but in the end, she only got a failure. Her difficulties have always been deeply buried in her heart. Maybe she deliberately let the two of us see all this, which can be regarded as a way to express her inner emotions!"

After listening to Xiao Zhu's analysis, Xia Shi was silent. After a long time, Xia Shi slowly said: "Brother, let's leave here. Since she doesn't want to see us, let's not disturb her."

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Xiao Zhu replied in agreement, and the two of them left the place the same way they came.

Shortly after Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi left, a secret door in the room slowly opened and Murong Qiu Shui walked out of the secret door. She stared straight at the place where Xiao Zhu had just stood, with a complicated expression.

......

After walking out of the cave, Xiao Zhu said to Xia Shi: "Shi'er, now that the matter of Lueying Town has come to an end, let's continue our journey!"

Xia Shi nodded in agreement: "Brother, let's go say goodbye to Uncle Kun and the others tomorrow morning."

It was late at night. Xiao Zhu looked up at the sky and saw the stars. He thought that many of the things he had experienced were somehow pointing to Huanling Kingdom. Si Lingzi in the snow ant hole was born in Huanling Kingdom. Xia Shi's earth soul body needed to be rescued here. And Ning Zhiwan was also taken to Huanling Kingdom by the Demon Cult after her disappearance. These things could only be revealed one by one after going deep into Huanling Kingdom.

But now it seems that Huanling Country may be more complicated than he imagined, and he can't see the way forward clearly.

The next morning, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi went to say goodbye to Uncle Kun, Yu Qing and others. Although they tried their best to keep them, Xiao Zhu was determined to leave. The residents of Luoying Town sent them to the edge of the town and watched the two of them turn into a ray of light and fly into the sky.

Three months after the two left, Luoying Town invited the town's most skilled carving master to create two statues for Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi, naming them "The Messengers of the Gods". People in the town often went to worship them, and the incense was constantly burning. However, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi were not aware of these things.

After Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi left Luoying Town, they wanted to continue heading north, but some residents in the town told them that to the north of Luoying Town were endless mountains and sparsely populated. However, two hundred miles west of the town, there was a place called "Sanbianzhou" where business and travel were very frequent. Perhaps they could get the information they wanted there, so the two flew west.

There is a river flowing at the border between the Rhine Empire and the Huanling Kingdom. The water of the river appears black from a distance, but it is crystal clear when you get close, hence the name Daishui River. After the Daishui River flows out of the mountains in the north of Liuying Town, it enters the vast plains, where the flow of the river slows down, and a delta is formed in the center of the Daishui River, called Sanbianzhou.

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi flew in the direction the townspeople of Lueying Town had told them, and arrived at Sanbianzhou in less than a day. To their great surprise, Sanbianzhou had actually built a magnificent bridge across the Daishui River, with people coming and going on the bridge in an endless stream.

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi saw the bridge from afar in the air. They could have landed directly on Sanbianzhou, but they didn't want to be too conspicuous in such an unfamiliar environment, so they chose to land on the shore and walked across the bridge.

Before he even stepped onto Sanbianzhou, Xiao Zhu felt something unusual. Sanbianzhou was a small place full of people and bustling with activity. He could clearly feel that most of them were demon hunters. Demon hunters, who were always rare and precious, had become common in this place. These demon hunters wore all kinds of clothes and had very different appearances, as if they came from different places.

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi walked down the bridge. There was a main road connected to the bridge. They walked slowly along the road, observing the scene on both sides. On both sides of the main road were vendors selling goods. The stalls were endless, and most of the things they sold were related to demon hunters, including martial arts secrets, magic beast crystal cores, rare herbs, etc.

Xiao Zhu finally understood that this was a large trading market for demon hunters, no wonder it was so lively.

Wars often break out between Huanling Kingdom and the Rhine Empire, but here, the demon hunters of the two countries are not hostile to each other. After all, people come here just for business, not for hatred.

However, where there are many people, there are also many troubles. Xiao Zhu also saw several groups of people fighting along the way. This place is also a place where all kinds of people mix.

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi walked and looked around. Although they were wearing Rhine Empire costumes, they did not attract attention. Seeing the various goods on the stalls, Xia Shi was very excited and dragged Xiao Zhu around, as if they had returned to the time when they were at the market in Fuguang Town.

While accompanying Xia Shi shopping, Xiao Zhu took the opportunity to look for secret manuals related to soul power, trying to see if he could find a way to solve Xia Shi's earthly soul body. However, there were only some ordinary items here, and he didn't see any related products.

The two walked for a distance and came to a square in the middle of Sanbianzhou. The goods here were much more valuable than those in the periphery. At this time, a noisy place attracted Xia Shi's attention. There seemed to be a stall, surrounded by a group of people, and there was a bustling sound from the crowd.

"Brother, let's go over there and take a look!" Xia Shi said, holding Xiao Zhu's hand.

Xiao Zhu didn't like crowds, but he didn't want to spoil Xia Shi's fun, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"

The two squeezed into the crowd and saw a fat middle-aged businessman holding a pair of exquisite little bells in his hands, introducing them with great enthusiasm.

"It is said that this pair of Acacia Bells were made by a powerful hunting king couple. There are no bells inside them, and they will not make any sound when shaken. However, they are made of a legendary tree called Acacia. This tree only exists in the southern wilderness. There is a large forest called the Eternal Forest deep in the heart of the Warcraft Realm."

"Legend has it that acacia trees cannot live alone, so they are born in pairs. The two acacia trees will be entangled with each other during their growth and will not separate for thousands of years, symbolizing the most loyal and unswerving love in the world. The two hunting kings and their couple went through untold hardships to sneak into the Eternal Forest, extract the essence of the two acacia trees, and refine this pair of bells."

"If lovers in the world hold this pair of love bells, even if they are separated by the ends of the earth, they can know whether the other person is safe through the love bells!"
