The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Xiao Zhu and Lin Xuemiao came to the place where he had picked herbs before. They picked up all the herbs here and then walked towards the center of the island.

Because they were not sure about the situation on the island, and Lin Xuemiao was not in good condition, the two chose to walk. Not long after they walked forward, Lin Xuemiao suddenly reminded them, "Be careful, there are people ahead."

They saw a high ground not far ahead with several rocks where they could hide their bodies, so they quickly went there and hid behind the rocks.

Through the gap between the rocks, Xiao Zhu noticed that there was a plant that looked like Ganoderma lucidum growing in the grass not far ahead.

"This is the Tianshan Ganoderma. Legend has it that it only exists in the Wangtian Mountains that divide the north and south. I didn't expect to see it here. And looking at the appearance of this Ganoderma, it seems to have lived for hundreds of years. It can be called a rare treasure." Xiao Zhu recalled the knowledge he had learned at Nuowan College and introduced it to Lin Xuemiao in a low voice.

"No wonder it's so lively here. There's a person at the eleven o'clock position in front of our left, and two people at the three o'clock position in front of our right. They must all be here for the Ganoderma lucidum. Be careful, the person in front of the left is about to come out." Lin Xuemiao said.

As soon as Lin Xuemiao finished speaking, a man as agile as a monkey jumped out. He looked around for a moment and rushed towards the Tianshan Ganoderma after confirming that there was no one else. When he came to the Ganoderma, greed flashed in the man's eyes. He stretched out his hand and was about to pick the Ganoderma when he suddenly felt the whistling wind behind him.

The man showed a very quick reaction at this time. He immediately gave up picking Ganoderma lucidum and jumped more than ten meters away. An arrow hit the ground where he had just stood.

"Whoever is the coward who shot me in the back, stand up to me if you have the guts!" the man shouted behind him.

At this moment, the two people hiding in the front right also appeared. They were a man and a woman. The man was fat and the woman was thin, but they looked quite similar. They were actually a pair of twin brother and sister.

The woman was holding a longbow, and it was obvious that she was the one who shot the arrow just now.

When the man saw the two people, his face showed a fierce look, and he said coldly: "So it's the Tang brothers and sisters, it's true that people meet everywhere, I didn't expect you to come to this mirage."

The fat man snorted coldly and said, "Wu Houzi, now that you see it's us, why don't you just get out of the way."

"You think you can get me to give up my position? That's wishful thinking." The man called Wu Houzi snorted coldly.

"Then let's meet Zhenzhang!"

After the fat man finished speaking, he took out a huge axe, swung it vigorously, and chopped towards Wu Houzi. Wu Houzi then had two more short swords in his hands, and rushed forward to meet the fat man without fear.

The two men soon engaged in a battle. Xiao Zhu noticed that Wu Houzi's strength was slightly better than that of the fat man, but the fat man had the thin woman in the distance who constantly interfered with him with a bow and arrow, so the battle was evenly matched for a while.

Wu Houzi dodged left and right, avoiding the fat man's attacks while guarding against the hidden arrows shot by the thin woman in the distance. He performed with ease. As they fought, the two gradually approached the Tianshan Ganoderma lucidum.

"Be careful, he might steal the Ganoderma lucidum!" The woman in the distance noticed Wu Houzi's intention and hurriedly reminded him.

But she was a little slow in reminding them. At this moment, the two of them were less than ten meters away from the Tianshan Ganoderma. Wu Houzi instantly broke away from the battle and jumped towards the direction of the Ganoderma. With his agility, he covered the ten-meter distance in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the thin woman's arrow followed closely, pointing directly at the direction where the Tianshan Ganoderma was, but Wu Houzi seemed to have been prepared. He swung an object with force, and suddenly a magic weapon shaped like an iron net blocked the path of the arrow.

With a "clang" sound, the arrow hit the iron net, emitting a burst of dazzling sparks. Wu Houzi took advantage of this opportunity and quickly approached the Tianshan Ganoderma on the ground.

"Huh?" Lin Xuemiao exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhu asked puzzledly.

"I was just paying attention to these three people and overlooked the fact that there seems to be something scary hidden underground," Lin Xue Miao reminded.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu looked towards the place where the Tianshan Ganoderma was. There was a green grassland there and there was nothing unusual on the ground.

"Want to run!" The fat man suddenly blocked Wu Houzi's way, and the huge axe in his hand blocked Wu Houzi's path to steal the Tianshan Ganoderma lucidum.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound from underground, followed by a crack about five meters wide in the ground. A huge monster opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Wu Houzi and the fat man.

The two men's attention was all on each other at this moment. They did not expect the sudden attack from the ground at all, and had no time to defend themselves.

The next moment, both of them were swallowed by the monster. The monster that swallowed the two people escaped into the ground again. The crack slowly closed and the ground returned to calm again.

All this happened in a flash. The thin woman in the distance hadn't even reacted to what was happening before she watched her twin brother and the Wu monkey being swallowed alive by the monster.

She stared at the disappearing crack in the ground for a while. There was no movement there anymore. Her fat brother was probably in danger.

The thin woman hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to go forward but was afraid to take the risk. Finally, she stomped her feet, gave up the Tianshan Ganoderma lucidum in the distance, and disappeared in a flash of light.

"What kind of monster was that just now?" Lin Xuemiao asked puzzledly.

Xiao Zhu recalled the records in the "Warcraft Records" and replied: "Everything happened too quickly, I didn't see it clearly, but judging from the opponent's habits and attack methods, it might be a level 5 Warcraft Swamp Crocodile."

Lin Xuemiao sensed that there were no other people around, so he asked Xiao Zhu for his opinion: "Although this Tianshan Ganoderma is very precious, it is guarded by a Level 5 Magical Beast Swamp Crocodile. Should we take it or give up?"

Since the trip to Ghost Island, Lin Xuemiao seems to trust and rely on Xiao Zhu more.

Xiao Zhu thought about it and asked Lin Xuemiao, "How far can your whip control the maximum distance?"

Lin Xuemiao replied: "You can flexibly take objects within ten meters, and attack within thirty meters."

Taking objects flexibly requires precise control, which is much more difficult than launching an attack with brute force.

Xiao Zhu thought for a moment and replied, "You can take it, but you can't fight this giant swamp crocodile head-on. I'll lead him away later, and you can use the whip to take it when the time is right. The giant swamp crocodile is good at earth escape, and its movement speed underground is faster than ours on the ground. We only have one chance, so if you fail, give up immediately."

Lin Xuemiao nodded and replied, "Okay, everything is up to you."
