The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Zhongli Laogui seemed to have some hidden meaning in his words. The alert Sun Yi snorted coldly and said angrily: "Why? Zhongli Laogui, do you suspect that the two of us deliberately let each other go?"

Zhongli Laogui laughed and said, "I dare not. Everyone knows that you two are loyal to the Pope. But how could the Pope's most trusted people do such a despicable thing?"

There was a clear hint of sarcasm in Zhongli Laogui's words. Although he said he dared not, the inner meaning was self-evident. Li Jiufeng and Sun Yi were overly favored by the current Pope, which made many old white-robed archbishops dissatisfied, and Zhongli Laogui was one of them.

Sun Yi was furious when he heard this, but just as he was about to lose his temper, Li Jiufeng stopped him and said, "Enough! Now that the big plan has not been completed, do you want to start a fire in the backyard first?"

Li Jiufeng's words were intimidating without him getting angry. Sun Yi and Zhongli Laogui both calmed down after hearing them.

At this moment, a ray of light flew over from afar and landed in front of the three people. It was Lang Qingyu.

"Saint Envoy Qingyu, is everything okay? Where is Commander Lan now?" Li Jiufeng walked forward and asked.

"I'm fine! My junior sister and I were separated in the beast tide just now, and I don't know where she is, but with my junior sister's skills, I believe there will be no problem." Lang Qingyu replied.

"Of course." Li Jiufeng nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Jiuyin flew over from afar. With a solemn expression, she walked straight in front of everyone and said, "Everyone, there is news from the Pope's front."

Hearing this, the other four all looked at Lan Jiuyin intently. Li Jiufeng asked, "What instructions does the Pope have?"

"The Pope ultimately failed to capture Changyu Jinnian, as he escaped with Yuanwu. However, the Shenxue Cult was also wiped out by the Pope in this battle. From now on, the Red Lotus Cult's thousand-year-old enemy will be completely wiped out from the Critical Continent." Lan Jiuyin replied.

"You are worthy of being the Pope. Such great achievements are comparable to those of the Saint Jin Ling'er back then." Zhongli Laogui flattered.

"Does the Pope have any other requirements of us?" Li Jiufeng ignored Zhongli Laogui's words and asked Lan Jiuyin.

"The Pope said that we should immediately return to the vicinity of Wangtian Mountains, merge the three armies into one, and attack the Lost Continent in one fell swoop." Lan Jiuyin said.

Hearing this, Li Jiufeng glanced in the direction where Xiao Zhu and the others escaped and said, "In that case, let's go back first! We will discuss the matter of the Holy Artifact Star Disk after reporting to the Pope."

"Yes." Everyone nodded in response, and the last row of five people turned into light and flew towards the north.

……

Teng Snake carried Gu Chuan, Lin Xuemiao and the unconscious Xiao Zhu and flew south for twenty days. To their surprise, the rest of the journey was very smooth. They never encountered a disaster like the beast tide again, and the pursuers behind them completely disappeared.

As for the occasional harassment from monsters, Lin Xuemiao's strength easily defeated them, and it wasn't even Axi's turn to take action.

Of course, all this is probably also due to Axi's identity as the Beast King. After sensing Teng Snake's aura, most of the magical beasts kept their distance.

As for why the Demon Cult suddenly gave up the pursuit, everyone was puzzled.

Twenty days later.

Furukawa noticed that the scenery on the ground had changed. The endless hills seemed to have reached an end. To the south of the hills, there was a lush green forest. The trees in the forest were very large. Each tree seemed to have grown for tens of millions of years. Some were as thick as several people could hug. Moreover, the closer the trees were to the center of the forest, the taller they were. From the air, it looked like a hill made up of trees.

Especially the giant tree in the middle, which is thousands of meters high. It is hard for Guchuan to imagine that a tree can be described as towering into the clouds, but this tree is indeed like that. Its huge crown spreads out in the clouds and the whole picture cannot be seen at a glance.

"Is that the Eternal Forest?" Lin Xuemiao asked doubtfully.

"It should be. The deviation between this location and the one on the map is not too big. Besides, apart from the legendary Eternal Forest, there is probably no other place where such a huge forest can grow. The trees here can even survive for more than ten thousand years." Furukawa replied.

"Do the elves really live here?" Lin Xuemiao asked doubtfully.

"I don't know, Xue Miao, is there any other scent of magical beasts in that forest?" Furukawa asked.

Lin Xuemiao released her perception, and after a moment she frowned and said, "This Eternal Forest has been cast with a formation that can block perception. I can't detect the situation inside."

Furukawa was a little surprised by this answer, but he quickly calmed down and continued, "In that case, I'm afraid we can only know the situation after we go down and investigate. However, we are new here, and without our senses, we are equivalent to being half blind, so we should be cautious."

"it is good!"

Axi carried the three people and landed at the edge of the Eternal Forest. It then transformed into a human form and carried Xiao Zhu on its back. The four of them walked into the Eternal Forest together.

After entering the forest, everyone never expected that the density of trees here had reached an incredible level. The distance between trees was very narrow and covered with thorns, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to enter.

Lin Xuemiao walked in front, using the power of thunder and lightning to open a path. The four people carefully followed the path and gradually went deeper into the dense forest.

The four of them moved very slowly. After walking for more than half an hour, they didn't see anything, let alone magical beasts, they didn't even see any wild beasts. It seemed that there were only densely packed towering trees in this place.

"Could there be no elves here at all?" Lin Xuemiao felt that hope was getting slimmer as he walked further.

Furukawa frowned upon hearing this and replied, "It's not impossible. The elves have always been just myths and legends in human society, and no one has ever really seen them. In human myths, there are many fictional things, much more than real things."

"What should we do then?" Lin Xuemiao was a little anxious.

After experiencing the mirage, Lin Xuemiao has always been grateful to Xiao Zhu. She is not a person without feelings, but because of her experience in adolescence, she has closed her heart and it is difficult for her to trust anyone. However, in the mirage, Xiao Zhu protected her and saved her life many times. Xiao Zhu finally broke through her closed defense line, so she really regarded Xiao Zhu as a friend.

The fewer friends you have, the more precious they are.

Now that his friend is in danger, Lin Xuemiao has put all his heart into saving Xiao Zhu. Seeing that the hope that had just appeared was about to be shattered, Lin Xuemiao's face became very depressed.

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the dense forest. The sound was very strange, like the howling of a wild wolf at night.

"Ouch——"

Gu Chuan, Lin Xuemiao and A Xi immediately became alert and stared at the direction where the sound came from.

At this moment, a huge gray figure about four or five meters tall emerged from the dense forest.
