The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Chapter 45: Hunting Yunlu Plan

"I see! Would a young Yunlu like this be protected by an adult monster? Why would the Demon Hunter Association launch this hunting operation to provoke it?" Xiao Zhu was still puzzled.

"You have considered it very carefully, but there is a saying that there is no gain without pain. Hunting a monster like Yunlu is indeed very risky, but the benefits are also huge. Yunlu is smart and can understand human nature. It is a monster that is very suitable for training. Once captured, it can be trained using special beast taming methods. When Yunlu reaches adulthood, for the demon hunter who trains it, isn't it equivalent to having an additional beast king-level spiritual pet?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu suddenly understood that a level 6 demon beast was a beast king level existence. Such strength was rare not only in Novan City, but also in the entire Rhine Empire. So how could this Yunlu hunting operation not drive demon hunters crazy?

"Okay, that's all I know. You can go to the mission hall for the specific details!" Zheng Wangfu pointed in the direction of the mission hall.

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi walked to the mission hall and saw that the mission topping the list on the mission display board was "Operation Hunting for Yunlu". The bounty for this mission was one thousand silver coins, while the bounties for the other three-level missions were all around five hundred silver coins.

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi accepted the mission and learned that Yun Lu had appeared in a mountain forest called Tianjianlin, two hundred kilometers west of Nuowan City. The two of them simply prepared some supplies and set off in the direction of Tianjianlin.

Since completing the third blood awakening, Xiao Zhu's spiritual power has become several times more abundant than before, and now he has the ability to fly short distances.

After the two people left the city, Xiao Zhu spread the huge dark red wings behind him. Xia Shi hugged Xiao Zhu's neck, and Xiao Zhu held her delicate body in his arms. Such an intimate posture did not make them feel any discomfort, but rather particularly natural. Then Xiao Zhu flapped his wings and flew towards the direction of Tianjian Forest.

The 200-kilometer journey was completed in just one hour. After entering the Tianjian Forest, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi were shocked - there were dozens of people gathered outside the forest. They seemed to be demon hunters who came to hunt Yunlu. They set up camps around the Tianjian Forest and formed a small tribe. In these camps, Xiao Zhu actually saw stalls selling magic weapons, monster crystal cores and herbs.

A mature industrial chain has been formed here around hunting Yunlu. It can be seen that the action of hunting Yunlu really attracts these demon hunters!

However, Xiao Zhu looked around and did not find any demon hunters above the level of Spirit Hunter. Most of them were high-level demon hunters like him.

Due to Xia Shi's stunning appearance, the two of them attracted the attention of many demon hunters as soon as they entered the place. However, most people saw that they were so young and did not take their strength too seriously.

Just when Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi were hesitating about what to do next, suddenly an old man and a young man approached them. Xiao Zhu felt that they looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them. After the two approached, the young man knelt on the ground excitedly and said to the old man, "Dad, these are the two benefactors who saved your life."

Hearing this, Xia Shi suddenly remembered the time when he and Xiao Zhu first arrived in Nuowan City and saved an old man who was on the verge of death at the entrance of the academy. Xia Shi thought for a moment and said, "You are Du..."

"My name is Du Changqing, and this is my father Du Songzhi. I didn't expect that my benefactor still remembers me!" The young man replied immediately.

"Please stand up quickly. Saving Uncle Du was just a piece of cake for me at that time." Xia Shi said.

The elderly Du Songzhi looked at Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi who were so young and said, "I had just escaped from the gates of hell that day, so I didn't see the two benefactors clearly. I heard Changqing say that I was saved by two students from Nuowan College, but I didn't believe it. Today, when I saw you, I realized that Changqing was not lying. My life is worthless, but Changqing's cultivation is still shallow, and I really don't feel at ease letting him take risks alone!"

Xiao Zhu then realized that Du Songzhi was also a high-level demon hunter, but Du Changqing was weaker and was only a mid-level demon hunter. Thinking of the scene that day, it turned out that when a high-level demon hunter was injured by a monster, his life was as fragile as duckweed. This also shows the value of an auxiliary demon hunter.

Because of the movement just now, the four of them have attracted a lot of people's attention. Du Songzhi looked around and said, "My two benefactors, there are many people here. Changqing and I have a place to stay here. Why don't we go there to talk!"

Xiao Zhu nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior."

Led by Du Songzhi, the two came to a stall nearby. It turned out that the purpose of the two coming here was to set up a stall to sell some monster crystal cores and herbs. Xiao Zhu took a quick look and found that they were just some ordinary things.

"My two benefactors, I believe you have come here to investigate the whereabouts of Yunlu!" Du Songzhi asked.

"That's right, may I ask if you have any news, senior?" Xiao Zhu looked expectant when he heard this.

Du Songzhi looked around and confirmed that no one was looking here, then he lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, there are rumors that Yunlu may appear tonight."

"Really?" Xiao Zhu was overjoyed.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the crowd outside. Du Songzhi immediately stopped talking and everyone looked in the direction of the noise.

Xiao Zhu was tall and had a wider field of vision. He saw a burly man with a full beard not far away gesturing with his teeth and claws bared, and shouting: "Everyone, today I, Li Chongba, have taken a fancy to this Yunlu. If you know what's good for you, leave here as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you accidentally lose your life at night, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

This Li Chongba did not hide his strength at all. Xiao Zhu felt that he had not only completed the third blood awakening, but also had abundant spiritual power, and it seemed that he was not far from the fourth blood awakening. There were only a handful of people like him in this place, no wonder Li Chongba could be so arrogant and domineering.

"What is he doing?" This was the first time Xia Shi saw this scene.

"Li Chongba is the bully here. I just told you two that Yunlu will be here tonight, so he is driving away other demon hunters." Du Songzhi said in a low voice.

"Yunlu is not your pet. Why are you chasing us away?" A demon hunter who looked to be in his forties stood up.

"Why? Just because of the knife in my hand!" Li Chongba snorted coldly, and a huge tiger-head knife appeared in his hand. The blade of this knife was shining brightly, and it was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary thing.

Seeing the appearance of the knife, the forty-something demon hunter swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He knew in his heart that he was no match for this man, so he left the place in disappointment.

But at this moment, a dagger attacked Li Zhongba's back. The person holding the dagger was a short man. The man was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Li Zhongba's back, with the dagger in his hand pointing directly at his back.

"Wind Demon Hunter!" Xiao Zhu looked at the short man and couldn't help but admire him.

Seeing that Li Chongba had nowhere to escape, the short man sneered, but the next moment his smile froze on his face. The dagger in his hand pierced Li Chongba's clothes, revealing a piece of golden scale armor. The dagger hit the scale armor but could not penetrate an inch.

Li Chongba twisted his body, and the huge tiger-head knife in his hand came across, chopping off the short man's head. Li Chongba grabbed the falling head and raised it high in the air with one hand. The blood from the severed neck dripped like a spring, and he was demonstrating to everyone.

Li Chongba snorted coldly and shouted at everyone, "Get out of here now! Are you waiting for me to collect your bodies?"
