The Legend of the Demon Hunter

The ruins of the ancient city of Loulan are such a special area in the Dusk Forest that almost everyone passing by will come to check it out, so it is not surprising that strangers enter at this time.

"Hide quickly." Su Lili was very wary of outsiders.

The three of them quickly hid behind the statue. Xiao Zhu used Hidden Spirit Gu to reduce his spiritual power to the minimum, while Su Lili and Yuan Yeying used some magic to completely hide their spiritual power. Especially Yuan Yeying, although she only had the strength of a spirit hunter, her perception was very strong, second only to Lin Xuemiao, whom Xiao Zhu had met before. This perception can attack and defend. For example, Xiao Zhu was discovered by her yesterday when he used Hidden Spirit Gu.

At this moment, a young man walked into the church. The aura emanating from him showed that he was a spirit hunter. Although such cultivation was very difficult for a man of his age, he seemed weak in front of Xiao Zhu and the others.

The young man was very alert. He looked carefully at everything in the church and approached the statue cautiously. With his strength, he naturally could not detect the presence of Xiao Zhu and the other two.

Xiao Zhu couldn't help but wonder, why would this young man, whose strength was only at the level of a spirit hunter, come to the Dusk Forest alone? This place was so dangerous, if danger befell him, he might not even be able to protect himself.

The spirit-hunting boy walked towards the three statues. As he got closer and closer to the statues, the three people couldn't help but become nervous, because when the distance is close to a certain level, any camouflage spell will become ineffective.

At this moment, the spirit hunter boy seemed to have discovered something. He turned around and ran towards the door at full speed.

"He discovered us!" Xiao Zhu realized it instantly.

Just as the young spirit hunter was about to flee the church, a plump and beautiful figure suddenly blocked his way. It was Su Lili. She smiled faintly and said, "Brother, why are you running? The sisters won't eat you."

At this time, Xiao Zhu and Yuan Yeying also came out from behind the statue. The three of them blocked the retreat of the spirit hunter. The spirit hunter looked at Su Lili nervously, then looked back at Xiao Zhu, Yuan Yeying and the other two. He realized that the strength of these three people was higher than his. He was so scared that his voice trembled a little. He begged: "Dear seniors, I am just an explorer who entered the Dusk Forest to hunt monsters. I accidentally entered the territory of the three seniors. I beg you to forgive my unintentional mistake."

"What's your name? How dare you, a mere hunting spirit, enter the depths of the Dusk Forest alone? Aren't you afraid of death?" Su Lili asked doubtfully.

“My name is Tang Mu. I did not enter the Dusk Forest alone. There were seven of us traveling together at the beginning. However, after we mistakenly entered the depths of the Dusk Forest, we were besieged by a group of level 4 magical beasts, red-tailed foxes. The other six people were unfortunately killed, and only I escaped. Although I escaped by luck, I also knew that if I continued to stay in the Dusk Forest, I would lose my life sooner or later. So I was anxious to leave, and accidentally entered this place. I beg the seniors to let me go. I will leave here immediately and never disturb you again.” The spirit hunter boy answered neatly.

After hearing his explanation, Xiao Zhu felt that Tang Mu was also an unfortunate person, so he nodded and said, "We have no intention of harming you, please go!"

Tang Mu felt as if he had been pardoned when he heard Xiao Zhu's words. He quickly bowed to Xiao Zhu and said, "Thank you very much! Thank you, senior, and thank you everyone."

After he finished speaking, he hurried out the door. But before he took a few steps, a cold female voice suddenly came from behind him: "Stop!"

Tang Mu knew that unless he was allowed to go by these three men, he would have no chance of escaping from them with his strength, so he immediately stood still, turned around, and asked politely, "Excuse me, senior, do you have any other instructions?"

The speaker was Yuan Yeying. Xiao Zhu looked at her strangely, not knowing why she wanted to keep the boy. Yuan Yeying stared at Tang Mu and snorted coldly, "You are lying. You are not a demon hunter who comes here to hunt monsters. You are here to find the holy weapon Yuanwu like us, right?"

Hearing Yuan Yeying's words, Tang Mu was so frightened that he stood still and hurriedly explained: "Senior, you have misunderstood. I really did not lie to you."

Yuanye Ying ignored Tang Mu's explanation and said, "You don't have to force yourself to explain. I met you before coming to the Muye Forest. Although you deliberately disguised your identity that day, your aura will not change. You must be the one who sent the news of Yuan Wu's appearance in the Muye Forest to our Feixia Sect!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu looked at Yuan Yeying in surprise, then turned to look at Tang Mu. It seemed that he had trusted this man too easily just now, and this man was not as simple as he said.

Tang Mu's expression was uncertain. His eyes rolled around, and he knew he could no longer hide it, so he explained: "Senior, you have a keen eye. I was just seeking to protect myself just now, and I had to make up a lie. I hope you can understand..."

"Tell me! Why did you spread the news of Yuanwu's appearance among the major forces in Tianfang Kingdom, and sneak into the Dusk Forest alone?" Yuanye Ying asked.

"Please forgive me, senior. I accidentally learned about the appearance of Yuanwu. I also heard that Yuanwu is one of the only five holy weapons in the world, and it possesses supernatural powers that are beyond the reach of ghosts and gods. However, my cultivation is low. Not to mention seizing Yuanwu, even entering the Dusk Forest may put my life in danger. Although I don't have enough skills, I care about the country and the people. I thought that if the holy weapon fell into the hands of monsters, it might cause great suffering to the people. That's why I spread the news. I hope that the seniors from all major sects can seize Yuanwu, kill the monsters, and win more places for our human race to survive." Tang Mu said indignantly.

"You are quite thoughtful." There was some truth in what he said, and Su Lili believed him.

But Yuanye Ying was suspicious by nature, and she immediately asked, "You said you accidentally learned about Yuan Wu's appearance? How did you know that?"

Tang Mu was prepared for Yuan Yeying's question. He immediately took out a parchment scroll from the storage jade bracelet. He cast a spell and a place on the parchment scroll lit up.

Xiao Zhu took a closer look and found that the parchment scroll that Tang Mu took out was the map of the Dusk Forest, and the place where the light came from was a lake in the center of the forest. There were a few small words written next to the lake - Hidden Dragon Lake.

"To be honest, although my strength is low, I have mastered the art of astrology by chance. Through this art, I can predict major events that will happen in the near future. The appearance of Yuanwu was calculated by me through astrology." Tang Mu explained.

"Then why did you take the risk alone and sneak into the Dusk Forest?" Yuanye Ying asked.

"Senior, the Holy Artifact has appeared in the world. What a magnificent scene! You are all willing to risk your lives to seize it. Although I am weak, I also have a fanatical yearning. As long as I can see the honor of the Holy Artifact, it doesn't matter even if I lose my life."

Tang Mu looked into the distance with a longing look on his face.
