The Legend of the Demon Hunter

One thousand kilometers north of the Eternal Forest.

A slim and beautiful woman landed lightly on a small hill. In front of her was a valley. The valley was very small, but it was covered with emerald green vegetation. It could be called a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

The reason why the woman landed here was because she felt a strange signal in the valley. This signal was full of ominous omens and made her feel quite uncomfortable.

The woman looked at the valley and thought for a moment. Then she stretched out her hand, and a bright flower appeared in her hand. The flower had seven petals, and each petal had a different color.

If Xiao Zhu were here, he would surely recognize that this flower was the seven-colored flower that he had seen in the Mu Ye Forest. And this woman was the leader of the Feixia Sect who had been exterminated, the Luoxia Fairy Yuan Yeying.

Fairy Luoxia stretched out her jade hand and threw the seven-colored flower into the valley. The seven-colored flower instantly turned into hundreds of petals that fell in different locations. These petals formed a signal network, clearly presenting the situation in the valley in front of Fairy Luoxia.

Since the demise of the Feixia Sect, Fairy Luoxia has been living on her own. During the Demon Cult's massive invasion, Fairy Luoxia was able to escape from the Demon Cult and the monsters many times. She relied not only on her strength as a late-stage Hunter King, but also on her cautious character and intelligence.

As Fairy Luoxia finished investigating the situation in the valley, she frowned slightly: "Strange, why is there his presence here?"

Fairy Luoxia hesitated for a moment, and finally landed at a location in the valley.

In the valley full of green trees and fragrant grass, there is a small piece of barren land covered with sand and gravel without any grass or trees. But in the middle of the sand and gravel, there is a black branch-like object.

Fairy Luoxia picked up the object and held it in front of her eyes to observe it carefully. Then she could see clearly that it was a piece of burnt human finger bone. Fairy Luoxia did not show any fear or disgust for such a gloomy and terrifying thing. Instead, she held the finger bone in her palm with her jade hand and observed the surroundings carefully.

He scanned the area within a hundred meters, but did not find any similar items.

Fairy Luoxia finally gave up. She stopped observing, carefully played with the finger bone in her hand and said, "Yun Zhonghe! Yun Zhonghe, I heard that you were defeated in the battle in the Eternal Forest and were almost killed by a junior. You tried your best to escape from the battlefield, but you didn't expect that you couldn't escape in the end..."

Fairy Luoxia pondered, "But after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, the Soul Gathering Ring is still in your hand. Who can kill you?"

Fairy Luoxia continued to observe her surroundings with this question in mind, and at this moment she suddenly discovered a strange object. It was a ferocious-looking statue with three heads and six arms and a very hideous face. Although it was only the size of a palm, it was terrifying even from a distance, especially the pair of ferocious eyes that seemed to be looking directly at her.

Seeing the statue, Fairy Luoxia's face turned pale all of a sudden. She seemed to be very afraid of the statue. She quickly threw away the half finger bone in her hand and immediately turned into a ray of light and fled towards the south.

……

Forest of Mirror Images.

"Xiao, next we plan to go to the south to investigate the situation in the Dragon Roar Sea." Lin Xuemiao spoke first.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu was not very interested, but he still asked: "What are we going to do over there?"

"We want to investigate the secret of the disappearance of the ancient dragon clan, and by the way, find out whether the legendary method of breaking the world is hidden there. Why, you don't want to go?" Lin Xuemiao replied. She judged Xiao Zhu's choice from his tone.

"Yes." Xiao Zhu nodded and said truthfully: "The remnants of the Demon Cult have not yet been eliminated, and I am not too interested in the broken world. I would like to use my strength to help ordinary people in this world, so I plan to leave here and head north all the way back to the Central Plains."

"Xiao Zhu." Ruqing suddenly interrupted, "You have felt it before. You now have ten different spiritual powers in your body. This is not something that ordinary spiritual blood can do. I spent most of my life searching for a way to break through the world, but now is a good opportunity. Don't waste your talent."

Ruqing's words were very contagious. If Xiao Zhu had not experienced what happened to Ning Zhiwan today, he would still have been curious and exploratory about the world, and he might have agreed directly. However, after experiencing a life-and-death separation, Xiao Zhu was a little afraid of risks. He just wanted to protect the people around him, so he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Dean Ruqing, I really don't have as much desire to break the boundary as you do. In my opinion, birth, aging, illness and death are the most common things in the world. Why do we need to break them?"

Hearing Xiao Zhu's words, Ruqing knew that he had made up his mind, so she sighed and said, "Well..."

But she had just said half a sentence when Gu Chuan, who had been watching silently, suddenly said, "I just asked Elder Yanshi, and she told me that the battle that Jin Ling'er led the army to a thousand years ago took place in the dragon clan's territory in the Dragon Roar Sea. Now it has turned into a battlefield ruin. But there is an important information here. Zhulong is also a member of the dragon clan. Even if you can't save Ning Zhiwan, have you ever thought about why Zhulong crossed the entire continent from the Dragon Roar Sea in the far south to the Buluolan Snowfield in the far north, why he was sealed by the god Tianhuan, and why Ning Zhiwan insisted on unsealing Zhulong? Do you really not want to find out how Ning Zhiwan died?"

Gu Chuan is really smart and understands Xiao Zhu's heart very well. His words successfully touched upon what Xiao Zhu cared about most in his heart, and he fell silent.

Xia Shi looked at Xiao Zhu, only to see that he had his head down, his fists clenched, and was in deep distress.

Xia Shi gently held Xiao Zhu's hand. Xiao Zhu felt the warmth in Xia Shi's palm and then loosened his fist. He looked up at Xia Shi, his eyes seemed to be negotiating or asking for help.

"Brother, let's go!" Xia Shi expressed Xiao Zhu's thoughts.

Xiao Zhu nodded with relief and said, "Okay, let's go. But I have a condition."

Gu Chuan looked at Xiao Zhu and asked, "What are the conditions?"

"I'm unsure about this adventure. Even someone as powerful as Jin Ling'er failed halfway through. This shows that this journey is very dangerous. Let's try to send as few people as possible! For example, A Xi and Xiao Shu should not go together. As for Dean Chu and Teacher Yu Han of Nuowan College, let's make a decision after consulting their opinions!"

Gu Chuan, who had successfully convinced Xiao Zhu, nodded and agreed confidently, "Of course, I've thought about it. This time, only five of us will go, you, me, Xia Shi, Lin Xuemiao, and mom. As for Dean Chu Enze and Teacher Yu Han, I've already asked for their opinions. They want to protect the students of Nuowan College, so they won't take any more risks."

"No, Chuan'er, you are wrong." Ruqing on the side looked at Guchuan gently and said, "There are only four of you going to the Dragon Clan this time, so I will not take the risk with you."

"Mom? Why do you say that? Didn't you spend most of your life exploring just to find a way to break through the world?" Guchuan looked at Ruqing in confusion.

Not only Guchuan, everyone looked at Ruqing in disbelief, wondering why she said such a thing.
