The Legend of the Demon Hunter

At this moment, there was a sound of wind in the distance. Xiao Zhu followed the sound and saw a figure rushing towards the white-faced old man at an unclear speed. The white-faced old man had a gloomy expression and tried to dodge by moving his feet.

The white-faced old man was very focused and reacted sharply the moment he was attacked, but he still failed to completely avoid the attack. With a painful groan, the white-faced old man's right arm was torn off. A petite animal that looked like a civet cat jumped onto a branch nearby, holding the white-faced old man's right arm in its mouth, staring at him with sharp eyes.

"Di Rong! The information given by those old guys from the Demon Hunter Association was wrong and they almost cost me my life." The white-faced old man said viciously, then used his spiritual power to stop the bleeding from the broken arm. He ignored the broken arm and fled hastily towards the outskirts of Tianjian Forest.

"It turns out to be an adult Di Rong. No wonder there are no demon hunters above the level of spirit hunter here. It seems they have more accurate information!" Xiao Zhu broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and flowed down his cheeks.

"Brother, what is Di Rong?" Xia Shi asked.

"Di Rong is a fourth-level magical beast. Its body is similar to that of a civet cat, but it is incredibly fast, and its claws are of golden nature. They are extremely sharp and very difficult to deal with." Xiao Zhu explained.

Most monsters are huge, but Dirong and Yunlu are both small monsters, so it's no wonder that some people confuse them. But compared to Yunlu, Dirong is very violent, bloodthirsty and murderous. In just a short moment, it has killed nearly ten demon hunters, and it seems to enjoy hunting and killing these demon hunters.

After the white-faced old man ran away, Di Rong's eyes fell on Xiao Zhu and others. It crawled slowly on the branches, staring straight at Xiao Zhu, as if realizing that he was the most difficult one among the group.

"Meow--" Di Rong made a sound, which sounded gentle and harmless, but the next second its figure disappeared and turned into a phantom rushing towards Xiao Zhu.

Although Xiao Zhu was shocked, he remained calm. The spiritual power overflowed from his body, and three earth walls stood between him and Di Rong. Di Rong crashed into the earth wall and destroyed the first one like a whirlwind. However, its speed slowed down a little. After that, as it broke through the three earth walls, its speed had slowed down by more than half. The Demon Shadow Sword in Xiao Zhu's hand went straight for Di Rong's head.

"Bang!" The Demon Shadow Sword hit Di Rong's head, but before Xiao Zhu had time to be happy, he found that he was like hitting a solid wall. Di Rong was unharmed, but his arm was hurt by the shock.

Di Rong meowed again, as if the sword had hurt him. His sharp claws reached out to grab the blade of the Demon Shadow Sword. A golden light flashed, and Xiao Zhu felt his hand lighten. He looked down and found that the blade of the Demon Shadow Sword had been cut off by Di Rong's sharp claws!

Xiao Zhu's face suddenly changed. He hurriedly retracted the half-broken sword in his hand and jumped back more than ten meters.

This magic sword that had accompanied him for more than two years could no longer keep up with his strength as he completed his third bloodline awakening. However, he had not found a suitable weapon during this period, and this magic sword was given to him by Xia Meitao, so he had been using it until now. He did not expect that it would be cut off by Di Rong's claws today.

Di Rong, who had been spared by Xiao Zhu, had a green glow in his eyes, as if the resistance of his prey had made him even more excited. He rushed forward again, even faster than before.

This time it was closer to Xiao Zhu, and Xiao Zhu tried the same trick again, but Di Rong jumped onto the earth wall, and the trajectory of his body drew a parabola, pouncing towards Xiao Zhu from top to bottom.

"Shi'er, help me!" Xiao Zhu shouted Xia Shi's name loudly.

Over the past six months, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi have formed a good tacit understanding. Hearing Xiao Zhu's call, Xia Shi formed a seal with her hands, and a full moon hung high in the sky, and a light white light enveloped Xiao Zhu's whole body.

In the blink of an eye, Di Rong had already rushed in front of Xiao Zhu, and its sharp claws grabbed Xiao Zhu's head fiercely, but the white moonlight began to gather towards Xiao Zhu's head rapidly, forming a spot of light at Xiao Zhu's head, covering Di Rong's claws.

Di Rong felt as if he was struck in the lake, the surrounding water flow surrounded his claws, and exhausted all the strength in his claws. This strength seemed to be eroding his body, making him feel weak and powerless.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Di Rong jumped into the air and shot backwards, but at this moment, four huge vines came from the side and entangled Di Rong's limbs.

"Vine Magic!" Since Xiao Zhu's wood spiritual power awakened, he has been able to use this basic magic skill with ease.

Di Rong was a level 4 monster after all. Although Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi unexpectedly suppressed it for a short time, the vines could not bind it. It struggled with its limbs together. The four vines broke, and it leaped onto the branch behind it, hunched over and stared at Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi, which meant that it was completely enraged.

"Shi'er, Di Rong is too strong. It's not a good idea to keep wasting time like this. You take Uncle Du and the others to retreat first, and I'll cover your retreat." Xiao Zhu said, his eyes never leaving Di Rong's body from beginning to end.

"No, brother!" Xia Shi replied in resistance.

"Shi'er, don't worry. Although Di Rong is fast, it can't fly after all. I will be fine." Xiao Zhu comforted.

Hearing this, Xia Shi nodded and said, "Brother, you must be careful." Then she took Du Songzhi and Du Changqing and walked towards the outskirts of Tianjian Forest.

"Meow--" Di Rong called out, and it walked silently on the branch. The thin branch was only as thick as a little finger, and Di Rong's body seemed to be weightless. As it walked, the branch did not tremble at all.

"Crash!" The branches trembled violently, and Di Rong's body disappeared in an instant. Xiao Zhu's nerves were suddenly tense, but this time he retreated instead of advancing. The ice and fire polar balls appeared in Xiao Zhu's hands, and a pure white, bone-chilling ice flame sprayed towards the direction where Di Rong was rushing.

Xiao Zhu had already seen the power of the Ice and Fire Bipolar Ball in the illusion of nothingness. Now, with the magic weapon he carried, only it could cause substantial damage to Di Rong. As expected, the ice flame instantly wrapped around Di Rong's body. Xiao Zhu was overjoyed, but the next moment his smile froze on his face, and Di Rong in the middle of the ice flame disappeared!

Oh no, it’s an illusion!

Xiao Zhu suddenly realized, but where was Di Rong's real body? Xiao Zhu turned his head and saw a vague shadow chasing in the direction of Xia Shi.

This Di Rong was really cunning. After realizing how difficult Xiao Zhu was, he actually made a feint and changed his target to Xia Shi and others.

Oops!

Xiao Zhu hurriedly turned around and chased in the direction of Xia Shi, but it was too late. Xiao Zhu saw Di Rong catch up with Xia Shi in an instant, and then a golden light flashed. Xiao Zhu could not see what was happening in front of him because of the light. When Xiao Zhu's vision recovered, Di Rong and Xia Shi disappeared in the light.
