The Legend of the Demon Hunter

When Xiao Zhu landed on the island, he found that it was very desolate. It was just a low hill with no grass or trees on it, only rocks and gravel everywhere.

The dark clouds in the sky were as thick as ink. Lightning struck down one after another, landing randomly in various places on the hills. The ground struck by lightning turned black. It was no wonder that no flowers, plants or trees could grow on the island.

Xiao Zhu carefully dodged the lightning and flew towards the center of the island. He wanted to see what was on this strange island.

After flying for a while, Xiao Zhu suddenly felt a spiritual power fluctuation coming from the front. This spiritual power fluctuation was looming and should be very far away from him.

"Could it be Chen Qing?" Xiao Zhu guessed secretly in his heart. Chen Qing is good at concealing his spiritual power, which is consistent with the characteristics of the spiritual power in front.

However, having just witnessed the magical power of the giant octopus, Xiao Zhu did not dare to be careless at this moment. He used the Hidden Spirit Gu to completely conceal his aura, and even retracted his Wind and Thunder Wings. He landed on the ground and headed in the direction where the aura was emitted.

After four blood awakenings and taking tempering pills, his physical strength is now extremely terrifying. He walked briskly on the ground and soon approached the source of spiritual power that he had just sensed.

This is a valley, and also the place with the most dense lightning on the entire island. Lightning strikes the valley one after another, dyeing the rocky ground of the entire valley charred black.

And in this valley, Xiao Zhu saw a person.

Xiao Zhu looked closely and found that this person was not Chen Qing whom he had lost before, but a woman. This woman was standing in the middle of the valley, letting the lightning strike her body again and again, but she was safe and sound.

The woman seemed to have noticed something, and her eyes swept towards where Xiao Zhu was standing.

Xiao Zhu hurriedly hid behind a rock, holding his breath. As for such a strange person, Xiao Zhu absolutely did not want the other party to be aware of his existence before finding out the situation.

"You have deliberately concealed your aura and tracked down my whereabouts. What is your purpose in being so secretive?" The woman leaped up, and her figure flew along the lightning to a rock at the top of the valley, her eyes staring straight at where Xiao Zhu was hiding.

Xiao Zhu knew that he was exposed.

And from what the woman said, it seemed that the other party had already sensed Xiao Zhu's presence the moment he hid his aura. At that time, the distance between them was still very far. Not only did the other party feel his presence, but she could also clearly judge that he was hiding his aura. This perception ability was really incredible.

Thanks to the profound spiritual power foundation of his psychic bloodline, Xiao Zhu's perception is outstanding among hunter souls, and is even not inferior to many hunter souls. However, the perception of the woman in front of him is far superior to his.

There was no point in hiding any longer, so Xiao Zhu simply jumped onto the boulder in front of him and said, "I have no ill intentions, but I'm just new to this strange place, so I'd better be careful."

But when Xiao Zhu saw the face of the woman opposite him, he suddenly shouted in surprise: "Huh? Why is it you?"

At this moment, the woman obviously recognized Xiao Zhu, but she didn't look surprised, because her personality was always so calm: "I haven't seen you for a few years. I didn't expect that you have reached the peak of hunting spirits. You are only one step away from the soul hunting realm. This progress is really amazing!"

Xiao Zhu smiled and said, "Haven't you already broken through to the Soul Hunter level?"

The woman shook her head. "I am different from you. When I first met you six years ago, I had already reached the late stage of a high-level demon hunter, while you have only just broken through. In addition, your spiritual bloodline is much more difficult to cultivate than my lightning bloodline. So, in the past five years, your progress has been more than twice as fast as mine."

"In any case, it is fate that we meet again today. I was wondering how someone could have such a strong perception. Since it's you, then everything makes sense." Xiao Zhu replied.

The woman was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen Gu Chuan in these six years?"

Xiao Zhu shook his head and said, "Never seen him before. Have you been looking for him?"

This woman was none other than Lin Xuemiao, the person who traveled with Gu Chuan and whom Xiao Zhu met in the Land of Ashes six years ago.

In the subsequent war when monsters invaded Novan College, Gu Chuan was taken away by his mother, Ruqing, the previous president of Novan College, and Lin Xuemiao disappeared from then on. Unexpectedly, after such a long time, the two met here.

Lin Xuemiao did not answer Xiao Zhu's question, but Xiao Zhu got the answer from her gaze.

When Xiao Zhu first met Lin Xuemiao six years ago, he was very puzzled why Lin Xuemiao would trust a cold-blooded man like Gu Chuan. But after experiencing the disaster in the Land of Embers, Xiao Zhu discovered that although Gu Chuan had a cold personality, he did have many attractive points in his character, such as his wisdom and rich experience, which enabled him to make the most correct choice in any environment without being disturbed by other factors including emotions.

In the dangerous world of Demon Hunter, if you have a teammate like Furukawa, your survival rate will be greatly increased. On the contrary, if you have an opponent like Furukawa, it will be a very scary thing.

"Your cultivation progress is so smooth, why do you want to enter this mirage and take risks?" Lin Xuemiao asked. After saying this, she turned into a flash of lightning and came to Xiao Zhu in the blink of an eye.

"Mirage?" This was the second time Xiao Zhu heard this term, but he still didn't know what it was.

When Lin Xuemiao saw Xiao Zhu's reaction at that moment, she understood in her heart: "So you are the Lost One, I thought you were also one of the Life Chasers!"

"Lost? Pursuer?" Xiao Zhu heard two new terms. He asked in confusion, "Before I entered this place, I met a soul hunter named Chen Qing. He also mentioned the mirage. I followed him but accidentally lost him. So I landed on this island. Can you tell me where this mirage is?"

"Yes, with your current strength, I'm afraid many life chasers are no match for you. If we can unite with you, our chances of success will be much greater." Lin Xuemiao replied.

"Mirages only appear once every hundred years. The location where they appear is not fixed, but they are always above the East China Sea. Every time a mirage appears, many demon hunters will enter it to look for the legendary treasure."

"But the mirage is very dangerous, and there is a high risk of death. Most demon hunters never leave after entering this place. Only a very small number of people with strong strength and good luck can successfully obtain treasures and leave this place. After leaving, these people often become much stronger. Therefore, those who risk their lives to enter the mirage to search for treasures are called life chasers."
