The Legend of the Demon Hunter

"It's impossible to get there? What does this mean?" Xiao Zhu asked puzzledly.

"Although you don't know about the Lost Continent, you must know something about the area north of the Wangtian Mountains. The Linji Continent is divided into the north and the south by the Wangtian Mountains. Your north is further divided into the Central Plains and the Far North Snow Region. But in fact, the Wangtian Mountains are located in the middle and north of the Linji Continent. In other words, the Lost Continent you are in now is larger than the areas of your Central Plains and the Far North Snow Region combined."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu and others were so shocked that they were speechless.

Especially Xiao Zhu, who had been to Huanling Kingdom, knew very well how vast the territory of Huanling Kingdom was. He thought that Huanling Kingdom was already the largest country in terms of area, but he did not expect that the area of ​​the Lost Continent was larger than the two northern countries and the three central plains countries combined.

"If it's just because of the vast area, it wouldn't be a problem. For us demon hunters, a journey of a thousand miles only takes half a day. Even if the Eternal Forest is a hundred thousand miles away from here, it will take more than a month to get there if we fly at full speed. Could there be other dangers along the way?" Furukawa asked.

"This young friend is right." Jiang Jin looked at Gu Chuan with appreciation and said, "I haven't had time to ask you yet, may I ask your names?"

Xiao Zhu introduced the names of these people to Jiang Jin one by one. When Jiang Jin saw A Xi, even though A Xi had covered the scales on his neck with clothes, Jiang Jin still found something wrong. He was very shocked and asked, "The aura of this friend is very strange. If I am right, could he be the legendary shapeshifter?"

Axi did not answer. Gu Chuan nodded and said, "President Jiang guessed correctly. Axi is indeed a beast king transformed into a human. But Axi is a friend, so don't worry."

When Jiang Jin knew that Xiao Zhu was serving as the president of the Xuanwu branch as a soul hunter, he was a little puzzled. The Demon Hunter Association was full of experts, so why would they arrange a soul hunter to serve as the branch president? But when he realized A Xi's identity, he began to look at Xiao Zhu with new eyes. To be able to have a beast king's shapeshifter accompany him was something that even many hunter kings could not do.

Jiang Jin then thought of Gu Chuan's question, and he answered: "The Lost Continent is vast. We are at the northernmost end of the Lost Continent, and the Eternal Forest you want to find is at the southernmost end of the Lost Continent. If you want to reach the Lost Continent, it will take about a month to fly at full speed with the cultivation of the Hunter King. But this is not the key. The key is that there are all kinds of magical beasts along the way. The magical beasts in the Lost Continent are not like those in your north. There are tens of thousands of them here, which is really difficult to cross. However, if there is A Xi, the shapeshifter of the Beast King, there is hope."

After hearing Jiang Jin's last words, Xiao Zhu suddenly became interested and asked, "Senior Jiang, what hope are you talking about?"

"The monsters in the Lost Continent are very aggressive towards humans, but the relationship between monsters is much better. What's more, even in the Lost Continent, beast kings are very scarce. If you disguise yourself as monsters, you may be able to try to pass through the monster group. But this method is just something I thought of randomly, and no one has actually practiced it..." Jiang Jin replied.

Furukawa was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you, President Jiang. We still need to verify whether this plan is feasible. Can you let us stay here for a few days so that we can discuss the countermeasures for going to the south?"

"It seems that you guys have made up your mind to leave. Although our Zhuque Town is a bit crowded, it is still no problem to make room for you. However, I have to inconvenience you and we can only squeeze into one room." Jiang Jin said with a hint of apology.

"Thank you, Senior Jiang. We are not picky people. Just having a place to rest is enough."

After talking to this point, the four of them wanted to say goodbye and leave. But Jiang Jin kept Xiao Zhu and said, "President Xiao, your friends can go and rest first. I have something else I want to discuss with you. Is it convenient?"

Xiao Zhu looked at Jiang Jin and guessed that he might want to talk about the Demon Hunter Association, so he said to Gu Chuan and others: "Please go and rest first, I will come later."

After Gu Chuan and others left, Jiang Jin closed the door and asked, "President Xiao, have you received any news from the headquarters?"

Xiao Zhu's face changed slightly. He realized that the situation was unusual and asked seriously, "What happened?"

Jiang Jin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Half a year ago, there was news that a catastrophe had occurred in the Demon Cult in the Far North. This catastrophe would sweep across the entire critical continent, and it was beyond the ability of ordinary demon hunters to resist. They asked us to temporarily avoid the attack and not engage in a head-on battle."

"Temporarily avoid the limelight, what do you mean?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhu's face turned pale.

In Xiao Zhu's mind, the Demon Hunter Association has always been a chivalrous group that punishes evil and eliminates evil. Whether it is Wan Yixing or Jiang Duo, they have heroic personalities and have always provided Xiao Zhu with a lot of help. But why did they choose not to resist at this critical moment when facing the invasion of the Demon Cult?

"Well, I was also very shocked when I received the news, but the content given by the headquarters was very concise and there was no detailed explanation. So I tried to contact the headquarters, but all the messages I sent fell into the sea. It was not until recently that I learned that the headquarters had evacuated from Wulong Mountain and now its whereabouts are unknown."

"Will this order really be issued?" Xiao Zhu still couldn't believe it.

"I also have doubts, so when I met you, President Xiao today, I wanted to ask you the truth. The Xuanwu branch has been deeply rooted in the Huanling Country in the far north for many years and should have a very deep understanding of the place. In addition, have you received any information from the headquarters along the way here?" Jiang Jin looked at Xiao Zhu expectantly.

Xiao Zhu shook his head and said, "To be honest, the Xuanwu branch was completely destroyed in the war between the two sects in Huanling Kingdom two years ago. I became the president only after the destruction of the Xuanwu branch. In the past nine months, I have been in seclusion for cultivation. I only learned about the invasion of the Demon Sect a few days ago after I came out of seclusion. The information I know is really limited."

Hearing Xiao Zhu's answer, Jiang Jin sighed with regret: "There is war in the north, and the headquarters, which is our foundation, has disappeared. Now countless demon hunters have migrated here from the north. I can neither get the support of the headquarters nor can I support so many people. With the demon beasts in front and the demon cult behind, the Suzaku branch may soon be on the verge of a dead end like the Xuanwu branch."

"Senior Jiang, today I saw that you have arranged the demon hunters who moved here in an orderly manner. From now on, as long as we can unite with these outsiders, perhaps we will be able to protect ourselves when facing demon beasts or the devil cult." Xiao Zhu consoled.

"I hope so." Jiang Jin nodded and said, "By the way, President Xiao, did you notice the masked woman today?"

Xiao Zhu was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you talking about the woman who argued with you?"

"Well, she is a hunting king." Jiang Jin replied.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu was very surprised. It turned out that there was also a hunting king who escaped from the north to this place? But why didn't Lin Xuemiao notice it?

"President Xiao, you must have been exhausted on the way here. Why don't you go and take a rest first? Even if your destination is the Eternal Forest, you can stay here for a while and we can talk all night long." Jiang Jin said.

"Okay! Thank you, Senior Jiang, for your hospitality. I'll take my leave first." Xiao Zhu bowed and walked out of the room.
