The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Chapter 35 Scavengers

As the spots of light on the Falling Star Demon Leopard's fur disappeared one by one, the spiritual power in Ning Zhiwan's body gradually became full. At this rate, Ning Zhiwan would be able to absorb all of the demon beast's spiritual power in less than half an hour.

Just as Xiao Zhu was astonished at Ning Zhiwan's magical ability, he suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from all around him. In this foggy forest, he could not predict what would happen next and could only remain vigilant at all times.

The next moment, a monster emerged from the ground nearby.

This monster is shaped like a beetle, but its body is as big as a wild dog, especially the two huge fangs arranged horizontally on its face, which are extremely terrifying.

Scavengers! Xiao Zhu thought to himself.

This is a first-level magic beast that feeds on the flesh of dead magic beasts, hence its name. The dead Falling Star Magic Leopard has very strong spiritual power, and its flesh is an irresistible temptation for scavengers. When Ning Zhiwan absorbs spiritual power, it causes spiritual power to overflow, so it is no surprise that it attracts scavengers.

Xiao Zhu took out the Magic Shadow Bow, drew the bow and shot an arrow through the scavenger's body. It fell on its back, and its six legs struggled for a few times, and then there was no movement.

Although this kind of monster looks scary, its combat power is not strong. With Xiao Zhu's current strength, he can easily destroy it. However, the scavenger is a typical social animal. Xiao Zhu did not dare to be careless at this time. He concentrated on listening to the sounds around him.

As the scavenger was killed, the rustling sound did not disappear, but gradually increased. One, two, three... Xiao Zhu watched as scavengers emerged from the ground one after another, and from the depths of the thick fog, many scavengers gradually approached from the ground. In just a short moment, hundreds of scavengers appeared and surrounded the two of them.

Countless scavengers crowded together, their bodies stacked on top of each other, so dense that it was disgusting, but they seemed to be afraid of something, surrounding Xiao Zhu and Ning Zhiwan, but did not dare to approach easily. However, the spiritual power emitted by the third-level magic beast Falling Star Magic Leopard was very tempting to them, and they were tightening the encirclement step by step.

Xiao Zhu knew clearly that if things continued like this, these scavengers would emerge in their pupae form within a quarter of an hour.

Xiao Zhu felt a little scalp-tingling. Although one scavenger was nothing, such a large number of scavengers posed a very big threat.

The first thing to do right now is probably to wake up Ning Zhiwan and then discuss countermeasures together.

"Miss Ning?" Xiao Zhu reminded Ning Zhiwan beside him.

Ning Zhiwan was in the process of regaining her spiritual power in a trance. She opened her eyes after being awakened by Xiao Zhu. She saw the dense scavengers all around her and her face turned pale instantly. Girls are naturally afraid of these giant crustaceans, let alone the hundreds of them in front of them.

"Ah? What is this?" Ning Zhiwan said in panic.

"They are scavengers, attracted here by the corpse of the Falling Star Demon Leopard. It's my fault for being careless. I didn't expect that such creatures would live in the illusion of nothingness." Xiao Zhu explained.

At this moment, a scavenger finally couldn't hold back anymore and rushed forward at full speed.

Xiao Zhu drew his bow and shot another arrow through the body of the scavenger.

But as this scavenger was the first to break the balance, the other scavengers no longer had any scruples. They let out hungry and joyful roars and came towards the two people and the Falling Star Demon Leopard Bee Pupa.

But they had just moved forward less than a meter when suddenly a wall of fire rose from the ground. The wall of fire was more than one person tall and formed a circle to protect Xiao Zhu and Ning Zhiwan. Scavengers are naturally afraid of fire, so this wall of fire stopped them from moving forward.

But they were not willing to give up. They surrounded the fire wall tightly, baring their teeth and claws and making threatening hissing sounds.

"This wall of fire can only last for a short time. We have to find a way to break out. How are you doing?" Xiao Zhu was a little tired from casting spells quickly in a short period of time, and he asked anxiously.

"My spiritual power has only recovered about 10%." Ning Zhiwan shook his head helplessly.

"Can your body move freely?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"Well, it's barely okay." Ning Zhiwan nodded.

"Oh no! They're coming out from underground!" Xiao Zhu suddenly raised his voice and exclaimed.

Before Xiao Zhu finished his words, two scavengers actually came out from underground, bypassing the wall of fire. They soared into the air, aiming directly at Ning Zhiwan.

As an elite of the younger generation at Novan College, Ning Zhiwan was able to respond to stress well even when in extremely poor physical condition.

She shook her wrist, and a blood-red long sword appeared in her hand. With the appearance of the long sword, a faint bloody smell filled the air. The moment Xiao Zhu saw the long sword, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. Because he had seen this long sword before, and it left a deep impression on him.

Blood Glaze!

That day at the Demon Hunter Association's auction, this Blood Glaze magic weapon was the first magic weapon to appear at the opening and was sold at a high price of 20,000 silver coins, an amount he could not even imagine.

But he clearly remembered that the person who bought the magic weapon that day was a strange masked man. But how did this magic weapon fall into the hands of Ning Zhiwan?

Before Xiao Zhu had time to think, the blood-glazed glass flashed a red light in Ning Zhiwan's hand, and the two attacking scavengers were instantly cut in half.

Although Ning Zhiwan's condition was much better than before, she still turned pale and gasped after the attack. It seemed that she not only lost her spiritual power, but also suffered severe internal injuries.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Zhu asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Ning Zhiwan had a very tough character. Even though her physical condition was extremely poor, she still spoke through gritted teeth.

"Be careful!" Xiao Zhu suddenly shouted loudly.

In an instant, the ground behind Ning Zhiwan was broken, and four scavengers rushed out of the ground at the same time, and they pounced on Ning Zhiwan again.

Perhaps it was because Ning Zhiwan exuded the aura of the Falling Star Demon Leopard, so the primary target of these scavengers was her.

Ning Zhiwan had already exhausted all her strength from the attack, and she was no longer able to resist the four scavengers that suddenly appeared. Just as she was at a loss, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her several meters away, and where she had just stood, the four scavengers collided with each other.

It was Xiao Zhu who pulled Ning Zhiwan away. The two who escaped the attack had no time to celebrate. They heard hundreds of scavengers neighing in joy at the same time. Xiao Zhu thought something was wrong and turned his head quickly. He saw that the wall of fire that protected them was completely extinguished by the countless scavengers rushing forward!

Although scavengers are afraid of fire, hundreds or thousands of them are invincible.

Ning Zhiwan turned pale when she saw the scavengers rushing over and surrounding them like dumplings. She had experienced countless dangers in her life and was no longer afraid of life and death, but she had never thought that one day she would die in the belly of a scavenger. This way of dying made her feel disgusted and terrified.
