The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Chapter 73 Taoyuan Village

After the quenching pill entered the body, it immediately turned into a warm current that flowed from the abdomen to the limbs. When this warm current touched Xiao Zhu's broken arm, it seemed to have a spirit and quickly gathered towards the wound, starting to repair the bones and blood vessels there. When Xiao Zhu sensed this situation, he couldn't help but be ecstatic, he knew that he had made the right bet.

In less than an hour, Xiao Zhu's fractures in both arms were completely repaired. But before he could be happy, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest. At first, the burning sensation was very mild, but as time went on, his body temperature rose sharply, as if he was being steamed on a stove. However, the difference was that the burning of the flames was from the outside to the inside, but this burning sensation was from the inside to the outside.

The burning pain was ten times more intense than the pain of a broken bone. Xiao Zhu fell into a coma under the torture of the severe pain.

It was unknown how much time had passed. When Xiao Zhu woke up again, the burning sensation on his body had completely disappeared. Everything just now seemed like a dream. He tried to stand up, and this time he succeeded easily. At the same time, he was surprised to find that his injuries had healed.

Xiao Zhu seemed to feel that his body was much lighter than before, so he jumped on the spot. He did not use any spiritual power in this jump, but he jumped a full distance of five meters, which was almost twice his usual state!

Xiao Zhu thought of the cheetah. This cat species is known as the most perfect common animal in nature. It is said that it can jump more than five meters away from a standstill, and can even jump ten meters away when running. His current physical strength is comparable to that of a cheetah.

I have heard before that the Tempering Pill can strengthen the human body and make people have a physique as strong as a monster. Now seeing the effect of the Tempering Pill, it really lives up to its reputation!

Next, Xiao Zhu began to look carefully at the surrounding environment. He had to get out of here as soon as possible and return to Xia Shi and Chu Enze. Although he saw Xia Shi escape from the Dragon Trapping Formation with his own eyes, he was not sure whether Yan Huifeng would let them go easily, so he could not be sure whether they were out of danger. This was like a heavy stone pressing on Xiao Zhu's chest.

Xiao Zhu walked aimlessly, and after a few steps he found a stream. The water in the stream was turbid and was flowing downstream. Xiao Zhu, who grew up in the countryside, knew that a stream meant there might be someone there, so he didn't dare to fly rashly, so he walked along the stream toward the downstream.

After walking for about half an hour, the outlines of houses appeared in the vast smoke and dust. Xiao Zhu was overjoyed. He couldn't help but quicken his pace. After walking forward for a few dozen meters, the number of houses gradually increased and a village appeared in front of him.

Xiao Zhu looked around and walked into the village, walking on the main road of the village. This village is very small, with sparse houses and few villagers. They are all covered in dirt and look very sloppy. After observation, Xiao Zhu found that the villagers in this village are almost all young and middle-aged men, and there are almost no women, let alone children and old people.

The villagers seemed very curious about Xiao Zhu, a stranger. They stood at the door and stared at him as if he were a monster. Xiao Zhu wanted to find someone to ask about the situation here, but when he chose a villager to walk over, the villager quickly moved away from him, then fled back to the room and slammed the door shut. After Xiao Zhu walked away, the villager opened the door again and continued to stare at him. Some villagers even followed Xiao Zhu from a distance, walking slowly.

Xiao Zhu was very surprised by the villagers' strange behavior.

Xiao Zhu became more and more vigilant. He spread his spiritual power everywhere to investigate the surrounding situation. Unexpectedly, he discovered that all the villagers around him were demon hunters!

Demon hunter is the rarest and most noble profession in the world. All the demon hunters Xiao Zhu had met in the past were elites. Although their wealth may not be very high, they would never live as miserably as the villagers in front of him.

What's more, everyone in a village is a demon hunter, which is a very strange thing in itself!

This made Xiao Zhu even more confused about this place. Fortunately, the levels of these demon hunters were not high. Most of them were low-level demon hunters who had only completed blood awakening once. Occasionally, there were a few mid-level demon hunters. As for high-level demon hunters, Xiao Zhu did not find any.

Xiao Zhu continued to move forward cautiously, but the number of villagers following him had increased from two or three at the beginning to more than a dozen, which made him feel uneasy.

A house that was obviously taller than other houses appeared in front of him, and Xiao Zhu realized that this might be the center of the village. At this time, an old man who looked to be about 60 or 70 years old came over. He had wrinkles on his face, but he was in good shape and walked as if he was carrying the wind. Behind him were two sturdy young men who looked somewhat similar.

The moment the old man saw Xiao Zhu, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he asked in confusion: "Outsider?"

Xiao Zhu could sense that the old man was only a junior demon hunter, while the two young men behind him were both intermediate demon hunters. He had used the breath-stealing technique since he entered the village. With his current cultivation, he was confident that the villagers in front of him would never be able to detect his true strength. Xiao Zhu finally saw someone who was willing to talk to him, and immediately greeted him warmly, saying, "Senior, I am Xiao Zhu. I accidentally got lost here. Please forgive me for disturbing you."

The old man seemed not to hear Xiao Zhu's words and looked at him in silence. Xiao Zhu felt a little flustered at this moment. He continued, "Senior, may I ask what is the name of this place? Why is there such thick smoke and dust? How can we leave here?"

At this time, the villagers gradually approached. They stopped about 20 meters away from Xiao Zhu and formed a circle. Only Xiao Zhu, the old man, and the two strong men behind the old man stood in the middle.

"This is Taoyuan Village." The old man finally spoke.

"Taoyuan Village?" Xiao Zhu had never heard of this name, but he at least knew the meaning of the word Taoyuan. The legendary paradise on earth is a fairyland-like place, but the bleak and dilapidated scene here, coupled with the villagers who are neither human nor ghost, does not look like a paradise at all. Perhaps this is what the legendary hell is like!

The old man seemed to see the doubt in Xiao Zhu's heart. He said, "We named Taoyuan Village ourselves. The reason why we named it Taoyuan Village is not because of the beautiful environment here, but because once you enter this place, you can never leave."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu suddenly felt his scalp tingling.
