The Legend of the Demon Hunter

This world is inhabited by a group of monsters with huge size and amazing combat power. People call them monsters. The snow ants Xiao Zhu saw a few days ago are just the lowest level of monsters. More than 80% of the world is occupied by monsters. Humans huddle together for warmth surrounded by monsters, forming villages, towns and cities.

The birth of Warcraft has a long history, and according to ancient records, it has been more than ten thousand years. But in ancient times, Warcraft has always lived in the south of the continent, with the Wangtian Mountains as the boundary, and has nothing to do with humans.

But just over a thousand years ago, magical beasts suddenly crossed the Wangtian Mountain and began to invade human territory crazily.

The difference in combat power between humans and monsters was huge. Even the lowest-level snow ants could easily kill ordinary humans. As a result, in just a few decades, almost the entire continent was conquered by monsters. In order to resist the invasion of monsters, a profession quickly flourished among humans, called monster hunters.

In fact, the demon hunter is an ancient profession that originated in the south, but it is precisely because of the invasion of monsters over the past thousands of years that the demon hunter, which was originally a very niche profession, was pushed to the cusp and became the world's largest and most influential profession.

It can even be said that people in the world today are divided into two types: ordinary people and demon hunters.

However, the requirements to become a demon hunter are extremely harsh. One must go through a ceremony called "blood awakening", and this blood awakening is a very rare talent, an innate ability. This alone is something that most people do not possess, so most people can only be ordinary people all their lives and have their lives wantonly deprived by demon beasts.

When a demon hunter's bloodline awakens for the first time, it will show its innate bloodline at the same time. The most common one is the five-spirit bloodline, which, as the name suggests, has the ability to control one or more of the five natural spiritual powers of "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth". For example, Gu Chuan awakened the gold bloodline. Xiao Zhu's awakening is a special case. He has the ability to control five spiritual powers at the same time. This kind of situation is one in a million, and is called the psychic bloodline by the world.

Gu Chuan spent an hour introducing the world to Xiao Zhu in detail, which completely overturned his understanding of the world. Fuguang Town is located in a remote area in the eastern part of the continent, and there have been traces of monsters only in recent decades, not to mention Heshan Village, a small village isolated from the world. In Xiao Zhu's mind, the world was originally just a place where villages, beasts and plants coexisted. Outside Heshan Village, there are thousands of villages like Heshan Village. He didn't expect that he had lived for 18 years and was just a frog in the well.

Thinking of Heshan Village, Xiao Zhu suddenly grabbed Gu Chuan's shoulders and said, "I want to see Master Xia!"

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Zhu and Gu Chuan came to the Xia family lobby again. Xia Meitao and Fang Zhiyuan were both there, and the young girl also walked in. She smiled at Xiao Zhu and the others, and then stood behind Xia Meitao.

"Master Xia, I have a favor to ask. Heshan Village is trapped by heavy snow and has run out of food. Please save the villagers of Heshan Village!"

Xia Meitao hesitated and said, "It's only a piece of cake to deliver some food, but there is a group of snow ants living on the road leading to Heshan Village. If we arrange ordinary people to deliver food, they will just be wasting their lives."

But Xia Meitao was not a cold-blooded person. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this? Mr. Fang and I will go with you two. Mr. Fang will be responsible for escorting the food to Heshan Village, and I will go up the mountain with you two to get the acacia flowers!"

"Dad, this is inappropriate!" The young woman suddenly spoke up and directly refuted Xia Meitao's opinion: "In recent days, the group of bamboo rats in the east of Fuguang Town has been restless, and even attacked the barrier around the town. According to the observations of the Chen family and the Ouyang family, it may be that the heavy snow has cut off the food supply for the bamboo rats, so they began to plan to attack the town. If the barrier fails at this time, our Xia family, who is located in the easternmost part of the town, will be the first to bear the brunt. Dad, you and Mr. Fang must not leave the family!"

"Master Xia, so the reason you called me here yesterday was for this matter?" Fang Zhiyuan replied after hearing the young woman's words.

Xia Meitao smiled bitterly and replied, "That's right, but now that I've found a way to save Shi'er, I can't care about that anymore."

The young woman stroked her hair and shook her head, saying, "Dad, how can Shi'er's life be compared to the lives of dozens of people in the Xia family? Moreover, if the Xia family falls, the entire Fuguang Town will be affected. You can't just ignore this matter. This time, let your daughter accompany Brother Xiao and Brother Gu to get the acacia flower!"

While Xia Meitao was hesitating, Fang Zhiyuan suddenly said, "Master Xia, what Miss Xia said makes sense. If we cure Miss Xia this time, as a demon hunter, she will naturally have to take on the responsibility of exorcising demons and defending the Way. The snow ants are not powerful monsters, so it's okay to use them as a test."

Hearing this, Xia Meitao nodded slowly and said, "Okay, Shi'er has grown up, it's time for her to step out from under the protection of her family."

He turned to look at Xiao Zhu and Gu Chuan and said, "Please take good care of Shi'er and don't let her get into any trouble."

Gu Chuan and Xiao Zhu nodded in agreement.

Fang Zhiyuan said: "Brother Xiao has just awakened his bloodline and does not yet have the ability to hunt demons. I have some simple spells for him to learn today. Let's set off early tomorrow morning!"

Xiao Zhu heard this and said gratefully: "Thank you Mr. Fang for your advice!"

The next morning, Xiao Zhu and his group set out for Heshan Village. In addition to the four of them, there were also two long-maned white horses carrying food along with them.

On this day, Xiao Zhu and Gu Chuan also learned that Miss Xia's name was Xia Shi, a poetic name.

The mountain road in Heshan was still difficult to travel, but Xiao Zhu, whose bloodline had been awakened, obviously felt much more relaxed. It took the group half a day to reach the depths of Heshan. As they got closer to the place where they were attacked a few days ago, Xiao Zhu felt more and more frightened and nervous, and even a strong feeling of nausea surged into his brain.

Xia Shi keenly noticed Xiao Zhu's abnormality. She looked at Xiao Zhu with her pretty face and asked softly, "Brother Xiao, are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Zhu was about to say something brave, but then his stomach churned and he couldn't stand steadily. He held onto a tree and began to retch.

"Brother Xiao, don't move. Shi'er can make you feel better." Xia Shi stretched out her jade hand, with a white light shining on her palm. Her scallion-white fingers gently brushed Xiao Zhu's forehead. Xiao Zhu smelled a faint girl's fragrance, followed by a warm feeling from his forehead to his brain, and the nausea in his stomach completely disappeared for a moment.

At the moment Xia Shi cast the spell, Xiao Zhu and Gu Chuan clearly saw a white crescent-shaped mark appear on her forehead. When she finished casting the spell, the mark disappeared into her forehead.

"It's actually the Shenyue bloodline that has been extinct for a hundred years. What an incredible talent!" Guchuan said with surprise as he looked at the mark on Xia Shi's forehead.

"Shenyue bloodline?" Xiao Zhu looked confused.

Fang Zhiyuan said, "I didn't expect that Master Guchuan is so knowledgeable at such a young age. I am really impressed. May I ask where did you get all this knowledge?"

Although this sentence is cryptic, it is actually digging into Gu Chuan's life experience. Gu Chuan pretended not to understand and replied coldly: "I just read a few more books when I was young. I am a million miles away from Mr. Fang."

Gu Chuan's words were obviously perfunctory, but Fang Zhiyuan didn't take it seriously and just laughed.

At this time, Gu Chuan, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and said, "The fork in the road leading to the top of the mountain is ahead. Mr. Fang, let's say goodbye here. Xiao Zhu, Xia Shi and I will go to get the acacia flower together. As for the villagers of Heshan Village, I'll leave them to you, Mr. Fang!"
