The Legend of the Demon Hunter

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Zhu woke up from his coma.

There was fog in front of him, and he blinked hard, but the fog showed no sign of dissipating. He realized that the fog was from the external environment, not his vision, so he tried to look around, only to see that he was in a desolate land, and the whole world was shrouded in gray-yellow fog.

He took a deep breath, but immediately started coughing violently. It turned out that this was not fog, but smoke.

Where is this? What's going on with this smoke?

Xiao Zhu only remembered that he fell into coma after being hit by Yun Zhonghe, and he had no idea what happened afterwards, but why did he appear in this place?

He wanted to get up, but he felt a piercing pain in his arm and realized that his arm was broken.

He sensed the condition of his body. After that great battle, his spiritual power had been exhausted, and the wound on his chest showed signs of cracking, which was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

There was no one around, and Xia Shi, Chu Enze and the others didn't know where they were. Xiao Zhu lay on the ground thinking about what to do next.

He endured the pain and injected his spiritual power into the storage jade bracelet to see if there was anything that could help him.

"Hey! What is this?"

Xiao Zhu noticed that there were three more things in the storage jade bracelet. One was the tempering pill given to him as a reward after winning the competition, and the other two were things he had never seen before.

One of them was a silver shield, only the size of a palm, with two words engraved on the back of the shield - Xuanwu.

"So this is the Black Tortoise Shield!" Xiao Zhu suddenly understood. This shield gave him a very familiar feeling. He suddenly remembered that when he and Xia Shi went to see Ruqing, Ruqing almost hurt them unconsciously. At that time, Chu Enze used a white shield magic weapon to block her attack. Now it seems that the magic weapon is this Black Tortoise Shield.

Another item is a hexagonal chessboard with six miniature flags on it. These should be the famous Lingxu flags of Yanhui Peak.

These two magic weapons were originally the rewards of this trial, so why did they end up in his storage bracelet? Xiao Zhu was a little confused.

......

Half an hour ago, two hundred kilometers north of Yanhui Peak.

Chu Enze's face was pale, he was leaning against a stone wall, his body was shaking.

"Teacher, how are you?" Yu Han hurriedly supported him.

Chu Enze coughed violently, and the blood he coughed out stained his clothes red. After his breathing gradually stabilized, he answered: "I have almost cleared the purifying powder, but I used my seriously injured body to break the dragon trap formation on Yanhui Peak, which overdrawn too much spiritual power. This time, Yun Zhonghe's attack on me hurt my true essence, and I'm afraid it will take more than a year to recover."

"One day, I will make Yanhui Peak pay back their hatred with blood!" Yu Han said gritting his teeth.

"Yu Han, your cultivation has reached the peak realm of the hunting soul. It is the critical period to complete the sixth blood awakening and advance to the hunting king. Now you should focus on improving your cultivation and don't be blinded by hatred. Other things can be considered after I recover from my injuries." Chu Enze said slowly.

"Teacher, you taught us well, but Xiao Zhu and Ning Zhiwan are still missing. What should we do?" Yu Han asked.

"Ning Zhiwan was taken away by them. Although I don't know the real purpose of Yun Zhonghe and others, from my perspective, they want to cultivate Ning Zhiwan, who has Shura bloodline, rather than hurt her, so there is no need to worry in the short term. As for Xiao Zhu, after I used the Fire Bird Technique to take him out of the Dragon Trapping Formation, he wanted to chase us, but was caught in a formation storm. My body was weak, and the formation storm made me lose control of the Fire Bird Technique, so I also lost my perception of him."

"Formation storm?" Yu Han asked in confusion.

"Yes, this place is located in the south. Over the years, there have been frequent battles between humans and monsters. There may be some residual formations on the ground and even in the air. Over time, these residual formations have intertwined and merged with each other, forming a formation storm." Chu Enze explained.

"Teacher, what should we do next?" Yu Han asked.

Chu Enze looked at Xia Shi and Le Tianyin. When they rushed out of the dragon trap just now, the huge shock wave generated knocked them both unconscious, but fortunately they were not injured. At this time, they were lying quietly on the ground.

"Let's go back to the academy first!" Chu Enze said, "We are all in poor condition now. After we return to the academy, we will arrange for someone to come and look for Xiao Zhu and Ning Zhiwan."

"Yeah!" Yu Han nodded. Chu Enze agreed with his idea.

"Teacher, before we evacuated, I saw that Xiao Zhu seemed to be injured by Yun Zhonghe. Is his injury serious?"

"With the help of the Firebird, I sensed that both of his arms were broken and his chest also showed signs of cracking. The injury is serious, but it should not be life-threatening. Before leaving, I placed the Black Tortoise Shield and the Lingxu Flag in his storage bracelet, hoping that it would be of some help to him. But whether he can be saved, it all depends on his luck!" Chu Enze sighed and said slowly.

……

Xiao Zhu tried to use his spiritual power to heal the wounds of his broken arms. Without the help of the auxiliary demon hunter Xia Shi, this was undoubtedly a long process. It took him three or four hours, but the wound healing effect was minimal. Xiao Zhu secretly estimated that at this rate, it would probably take half a month for his arms to resume normal activities.

This was a time he couldn't wait.

What should I do? Xiao Zhu was in a panic.

Xiao Zhu realized his current situation and that panic would only make things worse, so he forced himself to calm down. He looked around at the surroundings. This was an unfamiliar place, surrounded by smoke and dust. Visibility was very low and he could only see the scenery within 20 to 30 meters around him with his eyesight.

The ground in this area was a lifeless gray-black color with withered yellow grass growing on it. A few trees looked half-dead with only a few lonely leaves hanging on them.

Xiao Zhu had never been here before, but he could sense that there was a dangerous plot hidden here, and there was no way he would be given half a month to recover slowly.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhu tried to sit up. Without the strength of his arms, it took him several attempts before he succeeded. In the process of getting up, he touched his broken arm and was sweating profusely from the pain.

At this time, Xiao Zhu suddenly thought of the tempering pill placed in the storage jade bracelet. It was said that it was one of the secret treasures of Yanhui Peak, which could temper people's bodies. Perhaps this tempering pill could also heal injuries!

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhu took out the wooden box from the storage bracelet. He opened the wooden box with difficulty using his feet, and finally saw the true appearance of the Tempering Pill. It was a white fluorescent pill, like a pearl.

Xiao Zhu swallowed the tempering pill without hesitation.
