The Legend of the Demon Hunter

into the night.

After Xia Shi left, Xiao Zhu sat alone on the grass by Swan Lake. He was still immersed in the tenderness of the day, recalling everything he had experienced with Xia Shi, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

Xiao Zhu looked around aimlessly. In the past two years, he had been here countless times. Today, for some reason, he suddenly felt that this place was a little strange...

Xiao Zhu began to observe carefully. There were only three or two swans left in Swan Lake, floating quietly in the middle of the lake. He didn't know if they were asleep. There was a faint light in the attic by the lake, where the teachers lived. Everything was normal, just like any other day in the past, but the strange feeling in his heart became more and more serious.

He walked to the lake, bent over and scooped up a handful of lake water. The cool feeling spread from his palms to his heart. The lake water slid from his fingertips and fell back into the lake, making a "splashing" sound and breaking the silence around him.

Suddenly, the "clattering" sound seemed to be amplified thousands of times. Xiao Zhu saw huge waves suddenly surging in the center of Swan Lake. The huge waves quickly spread around. At this moment, the entire ground shook like an earthquake.

Xiao Zhu's heart tightened instantly and he quickly stepped back dozens of steps.

In the blink of an eye, waves more than ten meters high rushed to the shore and swallowed up the place where he was originally standing. After that, the center of the lake seemed to boil, and huge waves after waves surged from the middle to the surroundings. And at the source of the waves, a huge object like a tower protruded from the water and extended upward rapidly. In a moment, it had reached a height that reached the sky.

The dark clouds in the sky began to gather towards the center of the lake, pressing down heavily like an iron curtain, with wind and thunder surging faintly in the clouds.

The huge "tower" had already touched the clouds, with a majestic aura. Along with a flash of lightning cutting through the night sky, rumbling thunder exploded in Xiao Zhu's ears!

Xiao Zhu was so shocked by the scene before him that he stood there for a moment.

The next moment, the "tower" actually moved towards him. Xiao Zhu was panicked and wanted to escape immediately, but suddenly his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. He tried his best but could not move at all.

The "tower" moved very quickly and arrived in front of Xiao Zhu in a moment. Xiao Zhu finally saw the true face of the tower. It was actually a giant silver snake!

The length of this giant snake is over a hundred meters, and its movements can cause changes in the wind and clouds. Xiao Zhu had never imagined that there could be such a huge monster in this world!

The giant snake's head stretched in front of Xiao Zhu. Its two dark green eyes were like two huge lanterns hanging in the air. Xiao Zhu believed that with his strength he had no power to resist this giant snake. He held his breath nervously and dared not move.

"hiss--"

The giant snake opened its mouth wide and made threatening sounds. Its mouth was big enough to swallow an entire building. A strong wind blew out of its mouth, accompanied by a pungent stench.

Xiao Zhu held the Ice and Fire Polar Bead in his left hand and took out the Demon Shadow Sword with his right hand. He couldn't just sit there and wait to die.

The giant snake observed the ant-like Xiao Zhu for a moment, then it seemed to lose its patience. The blood-red snake tongue spurted out of its mouth and swallowed Xiao Zhu in one gulp!

Although Xiao Zhu had made all the necessary preparations, this giant snake was the most powerful he had ever seen in his life. It was very likely that it had lived for thousands of years. With his cultivation level of only three or two years, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot to resist the giant snake.

Just as Xiao Zhu was about to be swallowed by the giant snake, a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly rang out: "Axi, stop!"

Along with the woman's voice, Xiao Zhu felt a soft and fragrant breeze blowing towards him. His body was unconsciously pushed back a hundred meters, and he narrowly avoided the attack of the giant snake.

The light flashed, and a woman appeared out of nowhere. She stood in the air, seemingly light and weightless, and then landed gently on the top of the giant snake like a feather.

The woman's body was not even as big as one of the giant snake's eyes, but the giant snake obeyed the woman's orders very much. It hissed threateningly at Xiao Zhu, but no longer made any attacking moves.

"Axi, let's go!" the woman said gently to the giant snake under her feet.

The giant snake turned around and swam towards the center of Swan Lake. The woman turned her back to Xiao Zhu and never looked at him again, nor said another word. Xiao Zhu did not see the woman's face clearly, but noticed her waist-length golden hair, which cascaded down from her head like a waterfall. The thick golden hair covered half of her body.

The giant snake gently swung its tail a few times, then swam thousands of meters away, then dived into the lake and disappeared along with the woman.

"Boom!" As the giant snake dived into the water, another huge wave came rushing over. Xiao Zhu had no time to dodge, and his clothes were all wet by the waves.

Watching the giant snake and the woman disappear, Xiao Zhu suddenly felt dizzy. He rubbed his eyes and fainted on the ground.

......

When Xiao Zhu woke up, he found himself lying on the grass by the Swan Lake. The lake was calm and the two or three swans were still dozing lazily. It seemed as if everything that had just happened had never happened.

He lowered his head and found that his clothes were not wet at all, but he clearly remembered that his clothes were soaked in the waves just now.

He turned his head and looked towards the shore. The lights of several houses in the backyard were still on. This place was so close to the backyard. If such a sudden change really happened, why didn't the teachers in the backyard notice it?

And if there really is such a huge creature living in Swan Lake, why did the school never tell the students and allow them to come to Swan Lake to play?

Thinking about it this way, everything that just happened could only be a nightmare.

Xiao Zhu touched his chest and let out a long sigh.

Just as he stood up and prepared to leave, he suddenly saw a white round jade plate placed not far in front of him. The jade plate was about the size of a palm and emitted a soft and bright light all over, as if it was a precious treasure.

"Who left it here?" Xiao Zhu thought secretly.

But he and Xia Shi had stayed here for a long time but did not find the jade plate.

He was absolutely sure that the jade plate was not there just now.

Xiao Zhu picked up the jade plate and looked at it carefully. He saw several grooves on the jade plate. He counted them and found there were exactly six. These six grooves were evenly distributed on the jade plate and connected together like a regular hexagon.

After that, Xiao Zhu studied it for a long time and found nothing fishy, ​​so he put it into the storage jade bracelet and walked towards the dormitory.
