The Legend of the Demon Hunter

"Huh? There seems to be something below." Lin Xue Miao suddenly said as a group of four were flying in the air.

Lin Xuemiao's words instantly attracted the attention of the four people, and Xia Shi controlled the letter and the kite to slow down.

Xiao Zhu asked: "Is there an enemy?"

Lin Xuemiao shook her head and said, "No, this aura is very strange, but I don't feel any murderous intent, but rather... a bit friendly."

"Kind?" Xiao Zhu asked curiously. Lin Xuemiao's words made him even more confused.

"Xue Miao, do you feel that this aura is familiar? As if you've seen it before?" Gu Chuan guessed.

Lin Xuemiao looked at Gu Chuan in surprise. His guess was very accurate, so she nodded and said, "Yeah. It doesn't look like there is any danger there. We can go down and check it out."

"Okay, let's go!" Xiao Zhu replied.

Xia Shi controlled the letter and the kite to land on the ground. This was the ruins of a battlefield. It was obvious that the war had been over for a long time. There were some dark ruins and broken weapons and magic tools on the ground.

Countless years have passed since the war, but there is still no grass on the ground here, which shows how brutal the war was.

But there was no one on the ground.

Lin Xuemiao pointed to the east and said, "The breath came from that side."

"Okay, let's go and take a look." Xiao Zhu walked in front.

The group of four walked for about ten minutes, and a cave appeared in front of them. The cave seemed to be formed naturally, but it emitted a bright green light.

This scene was filled with mystery and weirdness, and the four of them stopped at the same time.

"Should we go in?" Xiao Zhu turned around and asked everyone's opinions.

Before Xia Shi and Gu Chuan could answer, Lin Xuemiao suddenly said, "Ah! I figured it out. The reason why this breath is so familiar is because it is very similar to the breath of a person."

"Sister Lin, who are you talking about?" Xia Shi asked puzzledly.

Lin Xuemiao looked at Xia Shi and said, "It's you!"

"Me? How could that be?" Xia Shi never expected that Lin Xuemiao's answer would be her. She was shocked beyond words for a moment.

"Well, to be precise, it is the life force in you. This force is gentle and kind. Apart from this, I have never seen a second kind of aura like this." Lin Xuemiao added.

Hearing Lin Xuemiao's words, Xiao Zhu suddenly thought of the myth that the old man in the Mirror Forest told him. He later told this story to three other people, so everyone present knew it.

Being able to feel the same breath as the Tree of Life here, Xiao Zhu and Gu Chuan looked at each other, and they both guessed a name at the same time.

"Could it be?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"Rick." Furukawa said it out loud.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the cave. It was a very pleasant man's voice, polite and gentle: "Since you are already here, why don't you come in?"

These words stunned everyone. The other party actually noticed them and could transmit the sound from such a far place.

If the person inside is indeed Rick, then his perception is probably not inferior to Lin Xuemiao.

"Excuse me, who are you, senior?" Xiao Zhu asked vigilantly.

The voice answered decisively without any hesitation: "My name is Rick. One of you has inherited the Holy Sprout, so you must have heard of my name."

"Ah? It's really you..." Xia Shi said in surprise and joy.

"I can't get out of this cave for some reasons. If you trust me, you might as well come in and talk!" Rick said to the four people.

Xiao Zhu and Gu Chuan looked at each other. Xiao Zhu had almost 100% trust in the elves. The people of this race were pure and kind-hearted and never had the intention to harm others.

Seeing that Xiao Zhu had made up his mind, everyone stopped objecting and they walked into the cave.

This cave was very deep. The group walked in the direction of the green light for about a quarter of an hour before they felt the light getting stronger and the surroundings becoming more spacious.

After turning a corner, the cave suddenly became clear, and a huge space with a height of more than ten meters and a diameter of more than one hundred meters appeared in front of me, like a huge hall.

In this spacious space, there is a tree with lush branches and leaves. The tree emits light, illuminating the entire cave very brightly, but the light is pure green, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

But they didn't see any figure.

At this moment, a phantom emerged from the roots of the tree. He had wings on his back and a soft body curve, exactly like an elf.

"Welcome to the ruins of the ancient battlefield." Rick looked at the four people and said, "This is where Jin Ling'er betrayed us. My body was destroyed by her here, leaving only this remnant soul. I planted this small tree of life to keep my soul here for a thousand years, just waiting for you to come."

"So the betrayal happened here?" Xiao Zhu felt that he was walking the same path that Jin Ling'er had walked along the way, and now he had finally caught up with her.

"Yes, it's here. Among the group of people who went here at the beginning, except for Yue Jiao, the most intelligent one, all the others died here, killed by Jin Ling'er." Rick said.

"Senior, I have heard Senior Yanshi tell the story of this place, but he has not experienced it personally, and many things are just hearsay. May I ask what happened here in the first place? Jin Ling'er is not a vicious person. She even saved the lives of civilians in the Bululan Snowfield in her early years. But why did she betray all of you in the end? Even Ziye, who founded the Red Lotus Sect with her, was killed by her own hands?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"Rock, is he still alive? That's great. This story needs someone to pass it on. Isn't it for this purpose that I have been waiting for thousands of years..." said Rick.

"Senior, since your purpose is to pass on that story, why don't you tell it to us now so that we can plan for the future." Furukawa said.

Rick was a calm person. He nodded and said, "Well, whether it's Jin Ling'er or you, you all have one goal in the end, to break the boundary."

This statement was meaningless to Xiao Zhu, Gu Chuan and others, because all demon hunters in this world pursued nothing more than this one goal. But they did not interrupt Rick, because they knew Rick had not finished speaking.

"It's a pity that there are people who don't want you to break through the boundary... It seems a bit inaccurate to express it this way, or it can be said that the one who prevents you from breaking through the boundary is not a human, but a god." Rick said.
