The Legend of the Demon Hunter

"It's you?" Xiao Zhu saw the blond boy, and there was no friendliness in his eyes. On the contrary, it was full of hostility.

"Yes, it's me. I didn't expect that you could escape from the snow ants' nest that day. So, the woman named Xia Shi should have survived as well, right?" The blond boy didn't seem to notice Xiao Zhu's angry eyes, and another sentence touched Xiao Zhu's sore spot.

This blond boy was none other than Gu Chuan, whom Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi met in Fuguang Town. He betrayed them and abandoned them in the nest of snow ants. If they had not accidentally discovered the dark room in the nest, they would have been buried in the belly of the monster long ago.

Xiao Zhu never expected to meet him again here. But what surprised Xiao Zhu was that Gu Chuan's strength was still only at the level of a junior demon hunter. After so many years, his cultivation had not improved at all!

When enemies meet, they become jealous of each other. Seeing Gu Chuan, who had deceived them in the past, Xiao Zhu couldn't help but tighten the Tanlang Sword in his hand.

This subtle movement was naturally caught by Gu Chuan. An icy smile appeared on his face, which made people feel no warmth. He smiled lightly and said, "We just met, and you want to take revenge for the past, old friend?"

At this moment, another figure jumped down from the roof. It was a slim woman with short hair. She had freckles on her face and was not good-looking, but she looked very capable in a black tights. She walked to Gu Chuan's side, stood side by side with Gu Chuan, and looked directly at Xiao Zhu.

Xiao Zhu was very shocked to see this woman appear. Before this, with his strength, he had not noticed the existence of this woman at all. She should have used a spell to conceal her breath. But now Xiao Zhu could clearly feel that this woman was also a high-level demon hunter.

The woman made her point clear with her actions - she and Furukawa stood on the same front.

Xiao Zhu's face became more alert. He took a step back and prepared to fight. At this time, the air between the two sides was filled with gunpowder, and it seemed that a spark would ignite the war.

But Gu Chuan waved his hand, took a step forward, and said to the woman beside him calmly: "Xue Miao, don't be nervous. This person is not our enemy today."

Surprisingly, the short-haired woman, who was a high-level demon hunter, obeyed Gu Chuan's orders. She put down her weapon and took a step back, but her eyes were still fixed on Xiao Zhu to prevent him from doing anything bad to Gu Chuan.

"Brother Xiao, you and I are both trapped in this desperate situation today. Can we temporarily put aside the past grudges and come to my humble home for a chat? Perhaps we can find a way to escape from here, and let you meet your dream lover as soon as possible." Guchuan said politely to Xiao Zhu.

His words were very thoughtful. He not only pointed out their current predicament, but also vaguely mentioned Xia Shi to induce Xiao Zhu to agree. Even though Xiao Zhu had no good feelings towards this Gu Chuan, he was somewhat tempted at this moment.

"Hmph! Do you want to cooperate with me? Just like last time?" Xiao Zhu was still a little worried, so he replied coldly.

Gu Chuan didn't seem to hear Xiao Zhu's sarcastic remarks, and said to himself: "There are many people here, if you are interested in cooperation, you might as well follow me."

After saying this, Furukawa said no more and turned to walk towards his house.

Xiao Zhu looked at Gu Chuan's back, hesitated for a moment and then chased after him. Gu Chuan was a man of deep scheming and ruthless means, and it was really risky to cooperate with him, but there was no better way at the moment.

Gu Chuan was confident that Xiao Zhu would catch up, so he walked slowly. But wherever he went, the surrounding villagers gave way and were very afraid of him. The woman named Xue Miao followed Gu Chuan silently and was quite obedient to him.

The village chief and others never expected that Xiao Zhu and these two weirdos were old acquaintances, and even had some grudges against each other. When they watched them walk away from the crowd, although they were a little worried about Xiao Zhu, it was not convenient for them to say anything at this time.

Walking into Gu Chuan's room, Xiao Zhu was instantly attracted by the complicated pattern on the wall opposite. He stared at it for a while, and felt that the lines in the pattern were disordered but regular, like a map. Gu Chuan didn't seem to be on guard against Xiao Zhu, and let him stare at the pattern on the wall.

"This is the map of the Land of Ashes." Guchuan answered Xiao Zhu's doubts.

"A map of the Land of Ashes?" Xiao Zhu looked at Gu Chuan in disbelief, and then continued to stare at the pattern on the wall. Only then did he discover that there were tiny fonts marking the names of different locations on it, and Taoyuan Village, where they were, was right in the middle of the map.

"You said you wanted to cooperate with me, but based on the trust in cooperation, shouldn't you also tell me why the two of you came here? And how did you get this map?" Xiao Zhu is no longer the ignorant boy he was back then. He withdrew his gaze from the map, looked at Gu Chuan and asked.

"Of course, that's what I'm going to say next. In fact, Xue Miao and I are different from you. We were not teleported here by accident, but we came to this land of ashes on purpose. So before coming here, we made sufficient preparations, and this map is one of the preparations we made." Furukawa explained.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu's eyes widened in disbelief and asked, "You came here on purpose? Why?"

"Yes, it's a long story. Do you still remember the book I took away when we went to the snow ant cave together that day?"

As Gu Chuan spoke, he took out a book with an old cover from his storage bracelet. On the cover, there was a line of words in a sloppy font: "Si Lingzi's Notes". This should be the name of the book. It seems that a demon hunter wrote down some contents based on his own experience. I don't know what is recorded in it, so Gu Chuan wanted to get it at the beginning. But Xiao Zhu thought of his "Warcraft Records". This person named Si Lingzi could know so many warcrafts. I'm afraid his cultivation is very profound. His cultivation notes must be very precious to demon hunters.

"Si Lingzi was a demon hunter with great skills thousands of years ago. The reason why I want to get his notes is mainly because of a magic he has studied for most of his life, called the Spirit Controlling Technique."

"Spirit Control Technique? What is that?" Xiao Zhu asked curiously. But after saying this, he immediately realized that something was wrong. The magic that Gu Chuan risked his life to obtain must be his secret. He and Gu Chuan seemed to have reached a cooperative relationship, but it was obvious at a glance that they were actually at odds. If he tried to find out Gu Chuan's secret at this time, Gu Chuan would definitely not tell him.

But surprisingly, Gu Chuan said without reservation: "The Soul Control Technique is a magic to control monsters. In layman's terms, as long as you master this magic, you can use your mind to control these powerful and savage monsters and make them fight for you."

"Oh my god! Is there such a magical spell in the world?"

During the three years that Xiao Zhu spent at Novan College, he had a solid foundation of knowledge about Warcraft and demon hunters. Historically, humans and Warcraft had always been on opposite sides, and the war between the two sides intensified over time. However, due to the excellent talents of Warcraft, even newborn baby Warcraft could easily slaughter ordinary adults. Over thousands of years, Warcraft had gradually developed to the point where they occupied the vast majority of the territory, and humans could only survive in the remaining places. However, this spirit control technique could actually make Warcraft fight for humans. It was undoubtedly a spell that could defy fate and change destiny.
