The Legend of the Demon Hunter

"Shi'er--" Xiao Zhu shouted loudly, but the voice echoed in the Tianjian Forest without any response.

Xiao Zhu chased to the place where Xia Shi had just disappeared, and saw a black area on the ground, which should have been burned by the golden light just now, but there was no human figure.

"Miss Xia Shi--" Du Songpo and Du Changqing stood there shouting in panic. They were also at a loss as to what to do.

The dark red wings behind Xiao Zhu suddenly spread open, he leaped into the air and looked around, but the Sky Sword Forest was like a sea of ​​trees, with endless green branches swaying in the wind, but there was no sign of Xia Shi and Di Rong at all.

Xiao Zhu suddenly felt his head burning and he almost fell from the air. He couldn't imagine a life without Xia Shi.

At this moment, a woman's light laughter suddenly came, and Xiao Zhu was immediately attracted to it. He saw the two people in cloaks standing on the ground, and the one who laughed was the shorter one.

"This hero is really skilled in martial arts. The fierce battle with Di Rong just now really opened our eyes!" The woman in the cloak said with a smile. Xiao Zhu felt as if he had heard this voice somewhere before.

"Who are you?" Xiao Zhu frowned and said without intending to greet the two of them.

The two men tore off their cloaks. Xiao Zhu looked at their true faces in surprise and couldn't help but say, "Murong Qiushui! Murong Changtian!"

"Brother Xiao Zhu actually still remembers us two siblings. We are really flattered!" Murong Qiu Shui chuckled.

"Hmph!" Xiao Zhu didn't like these two people and turned around to leave.

"What? Brother Xiao Zhu, don't you want to know the whereabouts of your sweetheart?" Murong Qiu Shui said calmly.

"Do you know where Shi'er is?" Xiao Zhu stood still as if under a spell. The next moment he turned around abruptly and moved closer to Murong Qiu Shui.

Murong Qiushui was not afraid of Xiao Zhu's approach. Instead, she took a half step forward, her breath sprayed on Xiao Zhu's face, and said in a slightly teasing tone: "Of course I know! But, I just won't tell you, what can you do to me?"

Murong Changtian turned a blind eye to Murong Qiu Shui's rude behavior, and he still had that cold expression as cold as ice water.

Xiao Zhu took two steps back, distanced himself from Murong Qiushui. He realized that it would be a waste of time to continue talking to this absurd woman, but now that Xia Shi was missing, he was extremely anxious and could not afford to waste time. He cupped his hands, turned his head and looked at Murong Changtian, and asked, "Please tell me where Shi'er is. If you have any conditions, please tell me as well. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

Murong Changtian opened his lips slightly, revealing two words as cold as ice water: "Cooperation."

"Okay!" Xiao Zhu answered without hesitation: "How do we cooperate?"

Murong Changtian stopped talking, but Murong Qiushui took over the conversation and said, "We have been keeping an eye on this Di Rong for a long time, but we are both weak and cannot defeat it. Today, we saw Brother Xiao Zhu's spiritual bloodline showing its magical power. We two brothers and sisters want to join forces with you to destroy this Di Rong and rescue your sweetheart. Brother Xiao Zhu, are you willing?"

"How do we join forces?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"It's very simple. We will take you to Di Rong's cave. No matter whether Xia Shi is dead or alive, our mission will be accomplished. And you need to help us kill Di Rong. As for Di Rong's crystal core and materials on his body, they all belong to the two of us. How about it?" Murong Changtian said bluntly.

"Deal!" Although this was a rather unequal agreement, Xiao Zhu agreed to it without hesitation. As long as he could find Xia Shi, these prices were nothing in his opinion.

"Then let's go! Otherwise, if we're late, there might not be even a bone left of your delicate sweetheart!" Murong Qiu Shui chuckled, then grabbed Murong Changtian and flew into the air.

This sentence hit the mark exactly, making Xiao Zhu feel uneasy, but he said nothing. He spread his dark red wings and flew after Murong Qiu Shui.

The three flew towards the depths of Tianjian Forest for about ten minutes, and now they had entered the center of the dense forest of Tianjian Forest. Murong Qiushui stopped in front of a stone wall. There was a cave on the stone wall. From the outside, it looked dark inside and nothing could be seen clearly.

"This is Di Rong's lair." Murong Qiu Shui pointed to the cave and said.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu immediately went in. With Xiao Zhu paving the way for them, this was exactly what the Murong brothers and sisters expected, and the two of them followed him in slowly.

The road in the cave was narrow and dark because there was no light. This was no problem for Xiao Zhu. He threw a few flames on the stone wall, lighting up the cave. After walking for dozens of meters, the road began to widen. Xiao Zhu saw water droplets dripping from the stone wall on one side of the cave, forming a stream that flowed towards the depths of the cave.

Continuing deeper along the stream, after advancing for about a few dozen meters, Xiao Zhu's front suddenly opened up and a huge platform appeared in his sight. On one side of the platform, the stream seemed to be cut off. It was pitch black there, and there were splashing sounds, as if there was a cliff.

In the center of the platform, Di Rong was standing there with his body bent, his eyes emitting a faint green light, staring straight at Xiao Zhu. This was the Di Rong that had escaped just now!

Xiao Zhu was surprised and happy to see Di Rong, but when he looked around, he couldn't find Xia Shi, which made his heart tighten again.

"Where is Xia Shi?" Xiao Zhu couldn't help but ask.

But after saying this, Xiao Zhu immediately realized his own stupidity. How could Di Rong understand what he said? Sure enough, Di Rong just made an unconscious meow, and then turned into a ball of golden light and pounced towards him.

At this moment, two white lights flew from behind Xiao Zhu and rushed straight towards Di Rong's body. Xiao Zhu saw clearly that they were two white feathers. It was Murong Qiushui who made the move.

Facing the flying feathers, Di Rong stepped into the air and twisted his body slightly to the side, just avoiding the stabbing feathers. But then, suddenly, a white cold flame fell from the sky, blocking Di Rong's retreat.

Faced with the flames, Di Rong had no way to retreat, but its flexibility was still beyond Xiao Zhu's imagination. It swung its tail, twisted its body ninety degrees in the air, and rushed in another direction. Only its tail was stained with a trace of flame. This tail, which was longer than its body, became stiff at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The tail is the most important organ for Dirron to control the body's balance. Now that the tail is injured, its sensitivity will be greatly reduced for Dirron.

But Xiao Zhu was also in a bad state at this time. After two battles with Di Rong and the flight tracking all the way, he had very little spiritual power left. If he continued to fight like this, he would probably run out of spiritual power soon. At that time, Di Rong could easily hunt him down.
