The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Gu Chuan's inference was well-reasoned, and Jiang Jin appreciated it very much. He then asked, "Brother Gu Chuan, what you said makes sense. The beast king's attack is also a big deal for Zhuque Town. I just wonder if you can determine what kind of beast king launched the attack here?"

Furukawa frowned and said, "Although their ways of death were different, if you look at the expressions of the deceased, their eyes were narrowed into a line, the corners of their mouths were slightly raised, and there was not a trace of pain in their expressions."

Xiao Zhu observed the expression of the deceased according to what Guchuan said, and found that it was just as he said. The deceased did not show any sign of pain, and it could even be said that he died peacefully.

"This way of dying reminds me of a kind of magical beast. It has a terrifying hallucinogenic ability and can make the demon hunter die in a sweet illusion. People who fall into its illusion will even enjoy the process of death..." Furukawa suggested.

Jiang Jin had lived in the Lost Continent for many years. After hearing Gu Chuan's clear hint, he already had the answer in his mind. He suddenly said, "You mean... the demon fox?"

"That's right! It's a demon fox. The demon fox clan has always judged strength by the number of tails. Legend has it that a demon fox will grow an extra tail every hundred years, and a demon fox that has cultivated to a thousand years old can have up to nine tails. Judging from the strength of this demon fox, it is very likely a thousand-year-old nine-tailed demon fox." Furukawa replied.

"Nine-tailed demon fox..." This term seemed to evoke a long-lost memory in Jiang Jin's heart. He was silent for a long time, then pulled Xiao Zhu and others and said: "I will take you to a place."

Xiao Zhu nodded, and then under the leadership of Jiang Jin, they left Shang Lingdinglin. Jiang Jin led them to fly all the way south and came to a hill not far from the forest.

"This mountain is called Huliang Mountain," Jiang Jin introduced.

Xiao Zhu noticed that there was a word "Hu" in the name of the mountain, and asked in confusion: "Senior Jiang, could it be that this Huliang Mountain has something to do with the demon fox?"

"You guessed correctly. Three hundred years ago, Huliang Mountain was the base camp of the demon fox clan."

"Three hundred years ago...where have the fox demon clan gone now? This place is so close to Suzaku Town. If there are still any remaining monsters, it will pose a huge threat to Suzaku Town." Xiao Zhu asked.

"Yes, you are right. When Zhuque Town was chosen to be located here, the situation of the surrounding magic beasts had been fully analyzed. Except for a group of fox demons living in Huliang Mountain, other places are safe. However, the strength of the fox demon clan should not be underestimated, especially the red nine-tailed fox among them. Its strength has reached the peak of the beast king realm. It is called the Red Fox King by the demon hunters. Even if an ordinary hunter king encounters it, it will be difficult to get the upper hand."

Xiao Zhu didn't say anything. He knew that there would have to be a twist in the development of these things, otherwise the Suzaku branch would not have been established here in the end.

"It must be said that the previous generation of demon hunters made great contributions to gaining a foothold in the Lost Continent, especially one person. He was the previous president of the Suzaku branch of the Demon Hunter Association, named Ximen Yeluo."

"Ximen Yeluo..." Xiao Zhu quietly wrote down the name.

"In order for Suzaku Town to live in peace, Ximen Ye Luo personally led a group of elite demon hunters into Fox Liang Mountain, wiped out the monsters on the mountain in one fell swoop, and even killed the nine-tailed demon fox, the Red Fox King, with his own hands. But unfortunately, Ximen Ye Luo was injured by the Red Fox King's fire poison during the battle with him. He was tormented by the fire poison in the years that followed and passed away two years later. When he died, the fire poison had penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and it is said that his bones had been burned hollow." Jiang Jin said with a gloomy face.

"President Ximen is such a great man." Xiao Zhu sighed.

"Yes! Although Ximen Ye Luo is dead, the Suzaku Branch of the Demon Hunter Association will always remember his achievements, and his deeds will always be recorded in the association's history." Jiang Jin said.

At this time, Gu Chuan came up and asked, "President Jiang, do you mean that the one who attacked Shang Lingdinglin this time might be the demon fox from Huliang Mountain?"

Jiang Jin nodded, but he was still confused and said, "But three hundred years ago, Ximen Yeluo had already eliminated the demon beasts in Huliang Mountain. In the past three hundred years, this place has been very peaceful, and I have never heard of demon beasts causing trouble. If you hadn't mentioned the matter of the demon fox, I would have almost forgotten about it. So it's hard for me to be sure whether the demon beast that attacked Shanglingding Forest was a demon fox."

"Is the Red Fox King really dead?" Furukawa asked.

"It's absolutely true. Back then, Ximen Ye Luo took its crystal core and tried to use it to cure the fire poison in himself, but unfortunately it didn't work." Jiang Jin replied.

After hearing Jiang Jin's explanation, Gu Chuan fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said, "If the fox demon clan has been completely wiped out by Ximen Yeluo, it is impossible for a nine-tailed fox to be born again in three hundred years. In this case, the one who attacked Lingding Forest this time may not be a fox demon. But I can't think of any magical beast that has the same ability."

At this moment, Lin Xuemiao suddenly frowned and warned, "Be careful, there is a strong aura approaching."

Hearing Lin Xuemiao's words, everyone immediately became alert. Jiang Jin looked at Lin Xuemiao in surprise. He didn't expect that this woman, who was only at the initial stage of soul hunting, had a sharper perception than him. Coupled with Gu Chuan's strategy and A Xi, the beast king, it can be seen that Xiao Zhu and his group all have unique skills and should not be underestimated.

Is the culprit finally going to show up? Xiao Zhu thought to himself.

As soon as Lin Xue Miao finished speaking, there was a sudden strong vibration from the ground. With their cultivation and stress response ability, the five people flew up the moment the ground shook. Among them, Gu Chuan was carried into the air by A Xi.

Immediately afterwards, a huge gully appeared on the ground with a "boom". The inside of the gully was bottomless and pitch black at a glance.

"Be careful, that breath is coming from underground." Lin Xuemiao reminded again.

At this moment, five white vine-like things suddenly stretched out from the ravine underground. Xiao Zhu, Jiang Jin, Gu Chuan, Lin Xuemiao and A Xi, who were flying in the air, were entangled around the waist by the five thick vines before they could react.

After the vine wrapped around the five people, it did not stop at all and immediately shrank back into the ravine.

Xiao Zhu was startled by the sudden restraint. He tried to break free, but found that the white object that was wrapped around him was very flexible. No matter how hard he struggled, the object became tighter and tighter.

Xiao Zhu looked at the four people around him. Gu Chuan and Lin Xuemiao's cultivation was not as good as his, so it was naturally impossible for them to break free. Even Jiang Jin and A Xi, who had reached the level of Hunter King, were tied up and unable to break free for a while.

The next moment, he was pulled into the darkness of the ravine and completely lost his vision.
