The Legend of the Demon Hunter

When Xiao Zhu returned to his residence, the three people in the room were chatting.

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"Did you pay attention to the woman who debated with President Jiang today?" Furukawa asked.

"Is she a hunting king?" Xiao Zhu half asked and half answered.

"Did you discover it too?" Lin Xuemiao asked.

"I feel that the aura on her is very familiar. I don't know where I have seen her, but her strength is very strong. She has reached the late stage of Hunter King." Lin Xuemiao continued.

Xiao Zhu shook his head. He couldn't think of who this person was for a moment, but even a strong man in the late stage of Hunting King fled here from the Central Plains, which showed how bad the situation in the north had deteriorated.

"It doesn't matter to us who she is. The most important thing is to find the Eternal Forest. Let's rest here for a while, and go to the town tomorrow to see if we can get more important information. Then we will set off as soon as possible!"

At nightfall.

After a whole day of noise, Zhuque Town finally returned to peace, but the peace did not last long. In the second half of the night, a noisy sound suddenly came from the outskirts of Zhuque Town. The sound sounded like many people were having a fierce dispute, and some were even shouting and calling for killing.

Over the years, Xiao Zhu has developed the habit of meditating at night. He was not resting at this time. He stood up first after hearing the sound. Then Lin Xuemiao realized the danger. She woke up and said vigilantly: "Not good, there are many auras surrounding Zhuque Town."

Hearing this, Axi and Guchuan also woke up from their sleep. Guchuan asked: "What's going on? Is it a monster?"

"From the aura, he doesn't look like a demon hunter. He looks more like a demon hunter." Lin Xuemiao said.

"Come on, let's go out and take a look!"

As soon as the four of them walked out of the room, they met Jiang Jin, the president of the Suzaku branch of the Demon Hunter Association. He looked anxious and was rushing towards the gate of Suzaku Town in a panic.

"Senior Jiang, what happened outside?" Xiao Zhu called out to Jiang Jin.

When Jiang Jin saw that it was Xiao Zhu and the others, his expression eased a little and he said, "It turned out to be President Xiao. You came at the right time. The demon hunters outside the town started a riot this afternoon and surrounded the town."

"Demon Hunters riot? How could this happen? Didn't you arrange accommodation for them in the afternoon?" Xiao Zhu asked in disbelief.

"Well, it is said that Shang Lingdinglin was invaded by monsters. They thought they were tricked by us, so they started a riot." Jiang Jin replied.

"Monster attack? So sudden?" Xiao Zhu was very shocked.

"I don't know either. Shang Lingdinglin is not far from here and has always been peaceful. I don't know why such a thing suddenly happened tonight. Let's go and take a look together!" Jiang Jin said.

"Okay." The four followed Jiang Jin to the gate of Suzaku Town. At this time, many people had gathered outside the gate. They wanted to rush into the town, but the demon hunters of the Suzaku branch stopped them, which made the tension between the two sides even worse.

“Let us in!”

"You just said that it was safe to go to Lingding Forest during the day, but at night we were attacked by monsters. More than a hundred people were killed or injured in the attack. How do you explain this?"

"Is the Demon Hunter Association deliberately trying to harm us, wanting us to die in the mouths of monsters, so that you can have one less burden?"

From the noise of the crowd, Xiao Zhu understood the whole story. But what he didn't expect was that the demon hunters who settled in Shanglingding Forest were actually very strong. Not only was there a hunting king, but in addition to the female hunting king, there were also several soul hunters or spirit hunters. For such a group of people, ordinary monster invasions did not pose any threat to them at all.

But from the information conveyed by the noisy crowd, they were not only attacked by monsters this time, but also lost hundreds of people.

The strength of the invading monsters was evident, so Xiao Zhu speculated that they were most likely invaded by a beast king-level monster.

As soon as we arrived at the Lost Continent, we encountered beast king-level monsters. Is the living environment of this land so dangerous?

Jiang Jin naturally thought of what Xiao Zhu could think of. A beast king-level monster appeared near Suzaku Town. Whether for the safety of the monster hunters in front of him or for the consideration of the indigenous people of Suzaku Town, this was a matter that could not be underestimated, so Jiang Jin's expression became solemn.

"By the way, the female hunter king from the daytime didn't come." Lin Xuemiao reminded in a low voice.

Gu Chuan and Xiao Zhu nodded, indicating that they understood.

"Everyone, please be patient. I have already known about the attack by monsters in Shang Lingdinglin. I am deeply ashamed about this matter. But since such a thing has happened, I will get to the bottom of it and give you a safe living environment. Today, I will go to the scene with you to find out what happened." Jiang Jin stood up and began to comfort the panicked monster hunter loudly.

Since Jiang Jin stood up and claimed that he would investigate, the mood of the crowd eased a little. Led by several soul hunters and spirit hunters, Jiang Jin followed them and flew towards Shanglingdinglin.

Xiao Zhu glanced at Gu Chuan, seeking his opinion with his eyes.

"Let's go and take a look together! Maybe we'll find something." Furukawa said.

Xiao Zhu and the others followed Jiang Jin and flew towards Shang Lingding Forest. Shang Lingding Forest was only five or six miles away from Zhuque Town, and the four of them arrived in the blink of an eye.

At this time, they noticed that there were many murdered bodies lying on the ground. Jiang Jin was observing these bodies carefully. Many people were standing nearby watching. Xiao Zhu and others walked through the crowd and came to Jiang Jin.

"Senior Jiang, have you discovered anything?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"These people died in different ways. Some were beheaded, some had their hearts pierced, and some were even dismembered alive. It seems to be completely random, and it's hard to determine what kind of monster the murderer is." Jiang Jin said in confusion.

At this moment, Furukawa squatted down and carefully observed the shape of a corpse. Then he turned around and looked at another corpse. In this way, he observed five or six corpses in succession without saying a word.

"Guchuan, did you find anything?" Xiao Zhu asked curiously when he saw Guchuan's look.

"President Jiang, are there any powerful beast kings living around Suzaku Town?" Guchuan looked at Jiang Jin and asked.

Hearing Gu Chuan's question, Jiang Jin shook his head and said, "The area around Suzaku Town can be regarded as the safest area in the Lost Continent. There are some magical beasts here occasionally, but I have never heard of the existence of a beast king... Otherwise, the Suzaku branch would not have settled here."

Hearing Jiang Jin's answer, Gu Chuan nodded. He didn't say much and continued to observe the condition of the corpse.

"Brother Furukawa, have you found anything?" Jiang Jin asked.

Gu Chuan said: "Well, there is no sign of fierce fighting here, which shows that the victims were almost killed instantly, which shows that the opponent's strength is far superior to theirs. Especially here, you see that the strength of this middle-aged man has reached the initial stage of soul hunting, but he was pierced through the heart and died. So I infer that the opponent's strength is at least that of a beast king, and he is even a top existence among beast kings."
