The Legend of the Demon Hunter

A white crescent appeared on Xia Shi’s forehead, and a hazy white light enveloped the woman.

Half an hour later, the woman on the bed coughed twice, then slowly opened her eyes. She first said in confusion: "Where is this? Am I dead?" Then she saw the baby beside her, gently hugged her in her arms, and began to cry.

"Aying, Aying, how do you feel?" Uncle Kun hurried over, his hands trembling with joy.

"Dad, I'm fine. I feel much better." The woman called Aying looked up at Uncle Kun and said with sobs.

"Great! Great!" Uncle Kun was a little incoherent, and then he suddenly knelt on the ground and said to Xia Shi: "Miss, your kindness is great, and our family will never forget it."

Xiao Zhu hurriedly helped Uncle Kun up and said, "Uncle Kun, you don't have to be polite. It's just a piece of cake."

It was not until then that Uncle Kun's emotions slowly calmed down. After all, he was old, and because of the ordeal just now, his body was very tired and he was gasping for breath.

Xiao Zhu looked at Uncle Kun and Yu Qing, pointed at Aying and said, "Aying just woke up and needs to rest. I'll let Shi'er take care of her. Let's go out and talk!"

The three of them walked out of the room, and Xiao Zhu asked in confusion: "Uncle Kun, what disease does Aying have? Where are the other people in the family?"

Hearing this, Uncle Kun sighed deeply, and even Yu Qing beside him looked very gloomy. Xiao Zhu felt that there seemed to be something else going on, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Young man, you don't know that our Liuying Town has been cursed by crows!" Uncle Kun's face showed fear and resentment.

"Crow? Curse?" Xiao Zhu was even more confused after hearing these two words.

Uncle Kun slowly recounted the whole story: "This time last year, our Liang family had just given birth to this fat grandson, and the five of us lived a wealthy life. But probably from that time on, people started to die in the village one after another, one in this family, one in that family, including the elderly, young adults, and children. They were all fine, but suddenly got seriously ill, and died in ten days or half a month. Some people said that the town was haunted, so everyone raised money to invite a Yin-Yang master to come, but in the end, not only was it useless, but even the Yin-Yang master died in the town. Luoying Town has always been a bustling town, but in the past year, some died and some ran away, and those who stayed in the town were the old, weak, and disabled, and it has become what it is now. Our Liang family didn't believe in evil at first, but we didn't expect that in a year, my wife and son-in-law would have died. If I hadn't met you today, I'm afraid Aying would have left us too."

"Ah? What is going on? What is the crow curse you just mentioned?" Xiao Zhu was still puzzled.

Uncle Kun patted his forehead and said with fear on his face, "During this period of time, people in the town have been in a panic because of the deaths everywhere. Until half a year ago, someone finally discovered the clues."

"Uncle Kun, I experienced that incident personally, so let me tell you about it!" Yu Qing interrupted, and Uncle Kun nodded in agreement.

Yu Qing took over the conversation and said, "There is a pharmacy in the center of the town. There is an old man named Lu in it. When people in the town first started to die of illness, many people went to Mr. Lu to get medicine. The medicine he prescribed was not very effective. Most people did not get better after taking it and eventually died. But there were a very few lucky people whose conditions gradually improved after taking his medicine and finally recovered as normal. I was one of them."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu looked at Yu Qing in surprise. She didn't expect that he had also suffered from this disease.

"Half a year ago, I had just come out of Mr. Lu's pharmacy after getting some medicine. I saw a huge black shadow flying into Mr. Lu's pharmacy. I was timid at the time and didn't dare to follow him in. It was precisely because of this decision that I saved my life. A moment after the black shadow went in, I heard shrill cries and cries for help from the pharmacy, but the noise soon disappeared, and then the huge black shadow flew out of the pharmacy again. At that time, not only me, but several other people also saw the black shadow clearly. It was a black crow with huge black wings. It flew very fast and flapped its wings a few times before disappearing from our sight."

Speaking of the crow, Yu Qing swallowed his saliva, still a little frightened. He continued: "After the crow flew away, I went to the pharmacy with a few villagers. The tragic scene inside scared us to death. Mr. Lu and several patients who were seeing doctors in the pharmacy died. Blood was splattered everywhere. Their deaths were very terrible, and they were all the same, all pierced by sharp objects in the heart or neck. This incident soon spread in the town. People in the town said that the crow cursed the entire Lueying Town and wanted everyone to die in pain, but Mr. Lu used medical skills to save people, which violated the crow's will, and was retaliated by it."

After listening to Yu Qing's statement, Xiao Zhu was so shocked that he was speechless. He had never heard of a situation like the one in Luoying Town, but from the crow described by Yu Qing, he guessed that it might be a powerful magical beast. However, he had searched through all the records of magical beasts and had never heard of a crow-like magical beast with such characteristics.

Could it be that Yu Qing and the others had seen it wrong? Or was it that the records of the Warcraft Records were limited, and even Si Lingzi had never seen this kind of Warcraft? Both of these situations were possible.

Xiao Zhu felt the white cloth on Yu Qing's head and asked, "Uncle Yu, why are you dressed like this?"

Yu Qing sighed, his eyes revealing sadness and self-blame, and said: "My wife passed away just five days ago. It's all my fault that I didn't leave here earlier. If I had left earlier, maybe I could have escaped this curse."

Just then, Xia Shi gently pushed the door open and walked out.

She said to Xiao Zhu, "Brother, the sister is no longer in serious condition, let's go!"

But Xia Shi noticed that Xiao Zhu's expression was a little strange, and he asked in confusion: "Brother, what's wrong? What were you talking about just now?"

Xiao Zhu shook his head: "Shi'er, I have an unwelcome request. I want to stay in the town for a few more days. Many people in this town have the same disease as Aying. Are you willing to save a few more people? And I also want to take the opportunity to meet the demon beast!"

Xia Shi's expression was a little confused. Because of the disconnected information, she didn't know what Xiao Zhu was talking about, but out of trust in Xiao Zhu, she nodded decisively and said, "Okay!"
