The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Xia Shi was startled by Ruqing's sudden reaction. She couldn't help but take two steps back, but fortunately she was prepared. She formed a seal with her hands, and a pale white moonlight emanated from her forehead, enveloping Ruqing.

The manic Ruqing immediately calmed down after being enveloped by the moonlight. Her scattered pupils gradually focused, and a hint of clarity began to reveal in her lifeless eyes.

Seeing this scene, Chu Enze's face showed ecstasy. He took a step forward, but then thought that he should not disturb Xia Shi at this moment, so he stood where he was, staring at Xia Shi and Ruqing intently.

The divine moon hung high in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone all over Ruqing. But as the light grew brighter, Ruqing's condition did not continue to improve. Instead, it became unstable again, and her expression showed signs of painful struggle again.

At this moment, suddenly a powerful force spread out with Ruqing as the center and rushed straight towards Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi.

Although Ruqing was mentally disturbed at the moment and this attack was purely random, with the power possibly less than 10% of her power at her peak, she had profound cultivation after all. For Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi, this attack had already posed a life-threatening threat!

But just when the impact force was about to hit the two of them, a white light shield appeared out of thin air in front of them, blocking the thrust. Chu Enze appeared beside them without knowing when. He held up the light shield with both hands and said seriously, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. You go first!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi did not dare to stay any longer, they turned around and ran towards the exit of the secret room. When they arrived at the exit, Chu Enze also caught up with them. The three of them looked back at Ruqing, only to see her pick up the doll on the bed again, with a motherly smile in her eyes again, and she said softly: "Good baby, go to sleep soon..."

It was as if everything that happened just now had been completely forgotten.

Chu Enze sighed faintly and said, "Let's go!"

Xiao Zhu looked at Chu Enze's gloomy expression and knew that he had originally had high expectations for Xia Shi, but the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Perhaps no one could really cure Ruqing's illness.

In silence, the three people slowly walked out of the secret passage and returned to the island in the middle of the lake.

"What a thick fog!" Xiao Zhu couldn't help but sigh when he reached the island in the middle of the lake.

A thick layer of fog had formed on Swan Lake, with visibility no more than five meters. When a gust of wind blew, Xiao Zhu could clearly feel the thick fog floating past his eyes, like a cloud of dust.

Xiao Zhu looked at the time and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He clearly remembered that it was noon when he came here, and the three of them stayed in Ruqing's secret room for a very short time, definitely not more than half an hour. Why would such a thick fog appear out of nowhere at noon when the sun was shining brightly?

"Shi'er? Dean Chu?" As Xiao Zhu hesitated, he suddenly realized that Xia Shi and Chu Enze, who were by his side just now, were gone. In such a thick fog, it would be difficult to find each other if they got separated, so Xiao Zhu hurriedly shouted the names of the two people. But his voice spread far in the empty Swan Lake, but no one responded.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Shi and Chu Enze disappeared, which made Xiao Zhu instantly alert. He took out the Tanlang Sword and held it tightly in his hand.

At this moment, two violent disturbances appeared in the thick fog in the air, forming two thick fog whirlpools. With the appearance of the disturbances, the sky became brighter. In the center of the two whirlpools, two balls of burning flames appeared, like two suns in the sky, emitting red light.

"What is that?" Xiao Zhu wondered in his heart. But suddenly he seemed to remember something, and without hesitation he spread out his huge wings behind him and flew nearly a hundred meters behind him.

"Hiss——" A sharp hissing sounded, making Xiao Zhu's eardrums buzz.

With this roar, the thick fog began to dissipate to both sides, and Xiao Zhu finally saw what the two flames were. At the same time, it also confirmed the terrible guess in his mind.

The giant snake appears again!

The two balls of flame in the air were the two eyes of the giant snake. The giant snake looked down at Xiao Zhu from the air, just like a human looking down at an ant. It opened its bloody mouth and a strong stench gushed out of its mouth.

Xiao Zhu couldn't tell what level of monster this giant snake was, and there was no record of it in the Warcraft Records. Among all the monsters Xiao Zhu had ever seen, perhaps only Yun Ke, who could transform into a human, could contend with it. With Xiao Zhu's own strength, he had no chance either in fighting or escaping.

Shier, where are you? Are you okay?

At the moment of life and death, this thought flashed quickly through Xiao Zhu's mind.

"Brother, wake up, what's wrong with you?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came. Xiao Zhu immediately recognized it as Xia Shi's voice, but her words seemed to ring directly in Xiao Zhu's mind.

Xiao Zhu suddenly woke up from his dream. He felt that his clothes were soaked with sweat. When he opened his eyes, he saw the faces of Xia Shi and Chu Enze clearly. Xiao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a daze, "Shi'er, Teacher Chu, what happened just now?"

Chu Enze replied, "We just walked out of the dean's secret room, and you suddenly fainted on the ground, and your expression was painful, and your whole body was covered with cold sweat. Shi'er used the Shenyue bloodline to treat you, and you woke up. How do you feel now?"

At this time, Xiao Zhu's condition had returned to normal. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I'm really sorry for making you worry."

"Brother, I just saw you sweating a lot and your body was shaking. You looked very scared. Did you see anything when you fainted?" Xia Shi held Xiao Zhu's hand tightly with her white and tender hand and asked with concern.

Hearing Xia Shi's question, Xiao Zhu hesitated for a moment. He did not answer the question immediately. After all, everything he saw when he fainted was too bizarre. He turned to look at Chu Enze and asked, "Dean Chu, has our Nuowan Academy ever raised large monsters?"

"Magic beast?" Chu Enze was slightly startled, and half asked and half answered: "What magical beast? Our Nuowan Academy has never raised any magical beasts. Besides, how could there be any magical beasts surviving in Nuowan City's demon-killing formation?"

Xiao Zhu saw that Chu Enze's expression was natural and didn't seem like he was pretending. Moreover, Chu Enze even told them about Dean Ruqing, which showed that he trusted them very much.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhu smiled with relief and said, "Dean Chu, Shi'er, I'm fine, let's leave here!"

"Okay!" Chu Enze nodded.

Then the three of them boarded the boat and quickly sailed across Swan Lake, leaving the island in the middle of the lake.

Xiao Zhu looked at the surface of Swan Lake, which was as calm as a mirror, and the clear sky that was visible all the way. He thought of the foggy scene he had just experienced and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
