The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Walking out of the village, Xiao Zhu carefully thought about what the village chief Zhou Yinhong said. He was unwilling to believe that he was trapped here, so he planned to verify something.

Outside the village was a grassland with low bushes. Xiao Zhu sensed many magical beasts lurking in the bushes while walking on the road, but most of them were level one magical beasts. Xiao Zhu did not alarm them and walked around the bushes. After about an hour, he came to the end of the grassland and a forest appeared in front of him.

Xiao Zhu stood where he was and did not enter. He still remembered the reminder from the village chief Zhou Yinhong, so he released his spiritual power towards the dense forest for sensing.

With his current ability, he can accurately sense the position of magical beasts within a radius of 500 meters, unless the opponent uses spells such as Breath Suppression.

After a moment, Xiao Zhu withdrew his spiritual power and his brows were tightly furrowed.

The village chief Zhou Yinhong did not lie to him. In a radius of 500 meters, he sensed five level one magical beasts and three level two magical beasts. He had never heard of such a density of magical beasts. Moreover, this was only the outskirts of the forest. Once he entered the depths of the dense forest, there would probably be groups of level one and level two magical beasts, and even level three or level four magical beasts.

There was no way he could cross the woods alone.

Xiao Zhu pondered for a moment outside the dense forest. Given the current situation, he could only return to the village first.

On the way back, Xiao Zhu casually hunted a first-level magical beast, the green-horned deer. He dragged the huge corpse of the green-horned deer into the village and placed the green-horned deer in front of the village chief's house.

His first successful hunt was praised by the village chief Zhou Yinhong. Only Ah Biao felt indignant after seeing Xiao Zhu's successful hunt. He said coldly: "Boy, you are quite capable, but the Embers Land is not as simple as you think. I hope you can survive for more than a month."

Then the village chief arranged an empty house for Xiao Zhu and let him live in the village. From now on, he officially became a member of Taoyuan Village.

Five days later.

During these five days, Xiao Zhu was not idle at all. He went out of the village to investigate early every morning. After returning to the village, he would chat with the villagers whenever he had time to inquire about the situation here.

But after these five days, Xiao Zhu not only failed to find a way to leave, but felt more and more desperate.

The villagers of Taoyuan Village were engaged in a variety of occupations before entering here. After entering Taoyuan Village, they tried their best and various means to escape, but no one succeeded.

Xiao Zhu had also thought about flying over the woods and put it into action, but he only flew two kilometers before he alarmed a group of third-level monsters, red fire moths, in the woods. He struggled to escape, which made him realize that the air was more dangerous than the ground.

At night, Xiao Zhu's thoughts about Xia Shi came flooding in, making him unable to sleep. During these sleepless nights, Xiao Zhu's mind repeatedly flashed with the image of Ning Zhiwan, wondering if she was safe now that she was trapped in the Demon Sect.

Early in the morning of the sixth day, Xiao Zhu heard a loud rumbling sound, followed by a violent vibration from the ground. The vibration was so strong that it caused the house to shake from side to side.

Xiao Zhu hurried out of the house. He heard noise coming from the center of the village and the surrounding neighbors were running towards the center of the village.

"What happened?" Xiao Zhu grabbed a villager and asked.

The villager glanced at Xiao Zhu and said breathlessly, "Hurry up and gather in the center of the village. Monsters are invading the village!"

After hearing this, Xiao Zhu hurriedly followed the villagers to the center of the village. At this time, the village chief was talking to several middle-aged men. Xiao Zhu noticed that all of them were mid-level demon hunters, and they should be the core members of the village.

"What kind of monster is invading the village this time?" asked the village chief.

"It's a group of level 2 monsters called Blood Crows." A middle-aged man with dark skin answered.

"Blood Crow? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" A Biao grabbed the man's clothes and asked loudly. Xiao Zhu could hear that his tone became urgent.

"Sure! These scarlet blood crows ate my children back then. I will never forget their appearance in my life!" the dark-skinned man said emotionally.

"What should we do, Dad?" A Biao looked at the village chief, he was unsure of what to do for a moment.

"Every invasion of a Level 2 monster is inevitably accompanied by a great disaster, let alone the Blood Crow!" Village Chief Zhou Yinhong had a painful expression on his face, then he stamped his feet and said firmly: "There is no other way. Notify all villagers, prepare bows and arrows, and get ready for battle!"

Blood crows, Xiao Zhu had seen this kind of monster in the Warcraft Records. The individual combat power of blood crows was not strong, and it was relatively weak among the second-level monsters. But blood crows were social creatures, bloodthirsty and murderous by nature, and they had the ability to fly. When dozens or hundreds of blood crows formed a blood crow group, wherever they flew, whether people or animals, they were devoured and all flesh and blood were gone, leaving only white bones, which was very terrifying.

Therefore, the Blood Raven is a monster that demon hunters never want to see.

The war is coming, and these villagers who usually look shabby and messy seem to have changed their appearance. They quickly mobilized and acted in an orderly manner. It can be seen that monster invasions like this should happen frequently, and they have trained themselves to have high combat qualities in such an environment.

A hard bow and a dozen arrows were also stuffed into Xiao Zhu's hands. Xiao Zhu tried the bow. Although it was not a top-notch magic weapon, the bow was inlaid with the crystal core of a first-level magical beast, and pulling the bowstring was quite powerful.

Just then, a few hoarse cries of crows were heard in the air. Everyone's nerves were suddenly tense. They drew their bows and arrows and looked at the sky intently.

The air in the Land of Ashes was turbid, and smoke and dust blocked vision. It was not until the Blood Crows flew to a distance of two or three hundred meters that everyone could see these creatures covered in red feathers. Each of them was as big as an adult, and was extremely oppressive when their wings were spread.

But when everyone saw the number of blood crows clearly, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Only seven? That's good..." someone in the crowd said.

The blood crows in the sky obviously also noticed the people on the ground. They were hovering in the sky, hungry and bloodthirsty, making excited cries. They were looking for the best time to hunt.

"Shoot!" the village chief Zhou Yinhong gave the order.

Dozens of villagers immediately released their bowstrings, and arrows shot into the air like raindrops.

However, because the flying height of the blood crow exceeded the range of the bow and arrow, none of the arrows hit the target and fell to the ground one after another.

Just when everyone was feeling frustrated, there was a "whoosh" sound in the air, and a much faster arrow pierced the sky. Everyone's attention was attracted by this arrow, which quickly exceeded the range of the other arrows, but its speed did not slow down at all. The arrow hit a blood crow's body, and the blood crow let out a painful scream and fell down.

Everyone looked in the direction where the arrow came from, and saw that A Biao had just released the bowstring and was looking at everyone triumphantly.

"He really deserves to be the best master in Taoyuan Village!" someone in the crowd praised.

Ah Biao's longbow was made from three second-level monster crystal cores. He completed the entire refining process himself, which has always been his proudest achievement. This longbow is extremely powerful and has made great contributions in several monster invasions. At this time, he was very satisfied with the approving eyes of everyone, and he drew his bow again, ready to shoot the second arrow.

But at this moment, the blood crow he was aiming at suddenly let out a sharp hiss, and then fell headfirst. During the fall, the blood crow's red body was quickly frozen into ice, and hit the ground and broke into five or six pieces.

Everyone clearly saw that there was an ordinary arrow stuck in the Blood Crow's chest, but the tip of the arrow was covered with sharp ice spikes.
