The Legend of the Demon Hunter

When Xiao Zhu opened his eyes again, the two of them appeared in the cabin in the Mirror Forest.

Xiao Zhu couldn't help but be shocked by Ruqing's strength. As long as she had the star disk, she could reach any place she knew on this critical continent in the blink of an eye. Even a parallel world like the Mirror Forest could not stop her.

"You have fully recovered. Go meet your friends. They have been waiting for you for a long time, especially the girl named Xia Shi. She has come to ask about your condition many times." Ruqing said.

Thinking of Xia Shi, Xiao Zhu's heart was filled with ripples. This woman, as gentle as water, had always cared for him silently, and when Xiao Zhu was in danger, she could show a strength as cold as ice.

She is Xiao Zhu's white moonlight. Without her, Xiao Zhu would never have been able to reach this point today.

Xiao Zhu pushed open the door of the cabin and Xia Shi was waiting at the door.

Seeing Xiao Zhu coming out, Xia Shi's beautiful face showed surprise. She was sincerely happy for Xiao Zhu's recovery: "Brother, you've recovered, that's great."

Xiao Zhu walked over, stroked Xia Shi's head, and said, "Shi'er, I've been through some things..."

"What's the matter?" Xia Shi blinked.

“I went to our home…”

Xiao Zhu was just about to tell about the bizarre experience he and Ruqing had when they returned to Heshan Village, as well as his confusing life experience, when Gu Chuan and Lin Xuemiao arrived and interrupted Xiao Zhu.

"Xiao, are you recovered? How do you feel?" Lin Xuemiao asked.

"I feel fine, thank you for your concern." Xiao Zhu replied.

"Something big has happened." Furukawa interrupted the conversation between the two and said anxiously.

"Ah? What big thing happened?" Xiao Zhu was stunned. It was the first time he heard Gu Chuan speak in this tone.

"Axi is back." Guchuan said, "He didn't find Yun Zhonghe, but he brought important news."

"What news?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"This matter is of great importance and cannot be explained in a few words. I have come here specifically to invite you and mother to go to the Tree of Life to tell the story. A Xi and Queen Nuomi are already waiting for us there." Gu Chuan did not directly answer Xiao Zhu's question. He did not want to repeat the matter twice, so he chose to bring them together.

As soon as Gu Chuan finished speaking, Ruqing opened the door and walked out: "Chuan'er, what are you talking about?"

Furukawa pointed in the direction of the Tree of Life and said, "Mom, let's go over there and talk!"

"Okay." Ruqing nodded.

The five of them came to the interior of the Tree of Life together. When Ah Xi saw Ruqing coming, she said respectfully, "Master, I'm sorry that I didn't complete the task. I followed the direction that Yun Zhonghe left and headed north to look for him, but I lost track of him halfway. He seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. I searched for several days but couldn't find his whereabouts. But in the process, I got an important piece of information, so I rushed back immediately to inform you all."

"Oh? What news?" Ruqing asked curiously.

"In the Dragon Roar Sea south of the Eternal Forest, a huge teleportation array appeared, accompanied by the sound of dragon roars that resounded through the sky. Rumor has it that this teleportation array may be related to the ancient dragon clan from ten thousand years ago."

"Dragon clan?" It was the first time Xiao Zhu heard this term, and the image of Zhulong appeared in his mind.

Before Axi could answer, Nuomi at the side took over and said, "In the Lost Continent in the south, there is an ancient legend that has been passed down for a long time, which is related to the dragon clan. It is said that the dragon clan was the master of all magical beasts ten thousand years ago, but because the dragon clan had a long lifespan and strong strength, they were eventually envied by the gods and completely disappeared in a catastrophe, leaving only some mythological stories to be passed down in the world."

"Sister Nuomi, actually my father told me the story of the dragon clan when I was a child. Did the dragon clan really exist?" Xia Shi asked.

Nuomi shook his head and said, "I don't know the exact information, but it is very likely to have existed."

At this moment, Xiao Zhu suddenly interrupted and asked, "Is Zhulong a member of the Dragon Clan?"

Xia Shi looked at Xiao Zhu, and her eyes became a little complicated.

"Are you referring to the power of Zhulong displayed by Yun Zhonghe? To be honest, there is indeed a Zhulong among the legendary dragon clan." Nuomi nodded and explained seriously.

Xiao Zhu glanced at Xia Shi and met her gaze. He pondered for a moment, then told her everything he had experienced in the Buluolan Snowfield, including the appearance of Zhulong, Ning Zhiwan's sacrifice for him, and the fact that the Zhulong crystal core finally fell into Yun Zhonghe's hands.

Although most people here knew that Ning Zhiwan sacrificed herself for Xiao Zhu, this was the first time that Xiao Zhu recounted the entire story in such detail. After hearing these words, everyone fell silent.

"So this is how Yun Zhonghe obtained the power of the Candle Dragon." Ruqing sighed.

"Sister Nuomi, the elves are the race that controls the magic of life in this world. I tried every means to find here. The most important purpose is to find a way to resurrect Ning Zhiwan. Do you have a way to save her?" Xiao Zhu pleaded.

After hearing what Xiao Zhu said, Nuomi showed a regretful expression on her face. She shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, the dead cannot be resurrected. This is an iron law of this world. Even the elves can't do anything about it."

"Even if it's the new bud of the holy weapon, is there no way?" Xiao Zhu was still unwilling to give in.

Nuomi shook his head and said, "There is no way."

Hearing Nuomi's answer, Xiao Zhu was struck by lightning. He staggered and couldn't stand steadily. Xia Shi, who was standing beside him, hurriedly supported him. Xia Shi felt Xiao Zhu's body shaking.

Since Ning Zhiwan passed away, Xiao Zhu has searched all over the country, just to find a way to redeem Ning Zhiwan.

During this process, he went to the Tidal Kingdom and the Dusk Forest, and finally found the remains of an ancient witch who was proficient in sacrificial spells. It was a pity that the ancient witch clan was almost extinct, and the remaining pure gold lineage of the ancient clan knew nothing about healing spells.

Later, he finally learned that the elves in the Eternal Forest were proficient in life magic, and the sacred artifact New Sprout had the magical effect of healing life. Xiao Zhu almost placed all his hopes on the elves.

But now, Nuomi, the elf queen who is proficient in life magic and controls the sacred artifact New Sprout, has completely extinguished the fire of hope in his heart.

Is all this just a delusion after all?

But at this moment, Ruqing suddenly said something. After hearing this, Xiao Zhu immediately perked up, and everyone focused their attention on Ruqing.

"But what if Ning Zhiwan is not dead at all, can the elves save her?" Ruqing said faintly.
