The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Xiao Zhu hugged Xia Shi tightly. This was the only thing he could do.

The wind pressure spear in the air was so fast that it flew in front of him in a blink of an eye. At this moment, another wind column flew over from another direction. At the top of the wind column was a fat middle-aged woman. Her hair and clothes were blown into a mess, making her look a little funny in the air.

But her speed was extremely fast, even faster than the wind pressure spear. In just a blink of an eye, she rushed in front of Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi, blocking the path of the spear.

"No..." Xiao Zhu guessed what she was going to do in an instant, but before he could say anything, the spear pierced the woman's chest.

Under the spear, her slightly plump body seemed so thin that there was almost no resistance, and the wind pressure spear easily penetrated it. However, in the process of penetrating her body, the path of the spear was changed, and it flew away from Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi and flew towards Swan Lake.

The woman whose body was pierced fell from the sky like a lifeless leaf, and landed on the ground with a plop, without any movement.

"Teacher Chen——" Xia Shi cried heartbreakingly.

The amiable Chen Xuelan has played the role of both teacher and mother to Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi since they entered school. She is gentle and considerate, and uses her maternal power to influence both of them, as well as countless people in Novan College.

She was married and once said that her husband died in a demon hunting battle, but she never mentioned children. Judging from her personality, it is almost certain that she has children, but I don’t know if they are still alive?

Perhaps the answer to this mystery will never be solved!

Chen Xuelan was Xia Shi's first mentor at Novan College. Past scenes flashed before her eyes quickly. Xia Shi's tears could not stop flowing, mixing with the rain to wet her pretty face.

At this time, Xiao Zhu was not completely overwhelmed by sadness. He knew that he had a more important mission. He grabbed Xia Shi's hand, saw the entrance to the secret room not far in front of him, and jumped in.

Everything in the secret room was the same as before, but the furniture was in disarray, obviously affected by the battle outside. Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi saw Ruqing lying on the ground at a glance. She had no injuries on her body, her long golden hair was scattered on the ground, her expression was indifferent, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was asleep.

This shocked Xiao Zhu so much that he was speechless.

No matter how turbulent the outside world is, there seems to be a peaceful pure land in Dean Ruqing's heart.

"Shi'er, I'll carry the dean. It's too dangerous here. We have to leave quickly." Xiao Zhu walked to Ruqing and carried her on his back. Although Ruqing was slightly taller than Xia Shi, she was very light, like a thin leaf. Xiao Zhu could hardly feel her weight. After years of suffering from the pain of losing her son, her body was already fragile.

At this time, Xia Shi gradually calmed down. She suppressed her inner sadness and helped Xiao Zhu carry Ruqing on his back. Before leaving, Xia Shi suddenly noticed the doll on the bed. This was the "child" that had accompanied Ruqing for many years. She held it in her arms all the time. Xia Shi put the doll in the storage bracelet. The three of them ran towards the exit of the secret room.

The moment he walked out of the secret room, Xiao Zhu felt something strange.

At this time, the academy had been engulfed in war, with monsters and humans fighting fiercely. But in such chaos, he seemed to feel countless eyes gathering on the three of them, or to be more precise, on Ruqing behind him.

"Breaker!"

The Golden-winged Eagle King landed on the ground first, blocking the way of the group of people. Its eagle eyes showed a fanatical look, and it spoke word by word. This was the first time he spoke human language since the outbreak of the war.

The Butterfly Fairy and the Sky-Splitting Beast in the distance seemed to have received a call, and they quickly left the battle and rushed towards the direction of the island in the middle of the lake. Bai Ruchen and Wan Yixing wanted to stop them, but when their strength reached the level of Beast King, if they wanted to escape from the battle, unless they were surrounded by multiple people, opponents of the same level would be almost impossible to stop them, so Bai Ruchen and Wan Yixing could only chase after them.

The next moment, the three beast kings formed a triangle to surround Xiao Zhu, Xia Shi, and Ruqing. They all transformed into their true forms, like three huge, insurmountable mountains, slowly approaching Xiao Zhu. Each of these three beast kings had the ability to kill Xiao Zhu instantly, but they were not in a hurry to launch an attack. Xiao Zhu understood that they were afraid of Ruqing behind him.

But with just the aura emitted by the three beast kings, Xiao Zhu had been suppressed to the point where he could hardly breathe. The only thing he could do was to stand up straight, protecting Xia Shi with one hand and supporting Ruqing behind him with the other.

"Brother, I have no regrets in my life because I can die with you." Xia Shi said while holding Xiao Zhu's hand. Her usually soft hands were now full of strength.

"Boom!" A thunderous sound exploded in the air, and lightning streaked across the sky, hitting the island in the middle of the lake where Xiao Zhu was. The three beast kings were somewhat surprised by the lightning, and they stopped, staring at the ground behind Xiao Zhu that was struck by lightning, as if there was something hidden there.

At this moment, the ground shook so violently that it seemed like a landslide. The water in Swan Lake formed a huge vortex, and the center of the vortex was the island in the middle of the lake. At this time, a huge crack appeared on the island in the middle of the lake, and the crack quickly expanded, and then tore the entire island in half. In the crack, everyone saw the center of the lake vortex. The water flow was like being sucked away and gathered towards the ground. At the center of the vortex, a huge snake head was raised, and its eyes were like two huge lanterns, facing the sky and rushing out of the water.

The body of the giant snake emerged from the lake, causing huge waves in Swan Lake. The next moment, it surrounded the island in the middle of the lake, protecting Xiao Zhu, Xia Shi and Ruqing inside its body, and issued a threatening hiss at the three beast kings.

"Teng Snake!" Fairy Die recognized it at a glance, and then said coldly: "As a fellow beast king, why are you willing to be enslaved by lowly humans and become a servant raised by humans?"

Teng Snake did not answer. Its huge, lantern-like eyes stared at Fairy Butterfly, and it kept moving its tongue in and out, making a hissing sound.

Xiao Zhu and the other two, who were surrounded by the Teng Snake, felt a sense of relief at this moment. Although the Teng Snake was huge in size and terrifying in appearance, it used its body to block the aura of the three beast kings, making Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi feel a lot more relaxed.

Xiao Zhu thought of the previous appearances of Teng Snake, and finally realized that this big snake was real, and everything before was not a dream. The strange thing was that even Chu Enze didn't know its origin, which only showed that Teng Snake had a deep connection with Ruqing, and the reason why it stayed in Swan Lake was to protect her.

At this moment, Xiao Zhu felt Ruqing move behind him. She finally woke up and slowly opened her eyes.
