Chapter 12: The Bitter Wind

Previous Chapter

The forest is too dense and leafy, covering most of the moonlight.

In the white moonlight, many strange sounds could be heard in the Hessian woods, wolf howling, ape crying, cat barking, dog barking, pig humming, and some creepy sounds, like countless babies crying loudly.

As far as the eye can see, there seem to be countless ghosts in the depths of the jungle in front of them, showing their teeth and claws in the dark, choosing people to devour.

There was a gust of wind in my ears, like desperate people crying out desperately.

The wolf's tooth flashlight emitted a powerful yellow beam, poking out a funnel-shaped area from the darkness in front of him, Jiang Hai stared intently ahead, his steps were not in a hurry, and he kept moving forward.

With a wave of a long black knife in his right hand, he kept cutting through some of the grass branches that blocked the way, making some clear noises along the way.

He was "scaring the snakes", trying to attract some monsters around him.

The Forest of Devil Cry is a gathering place of monsters, with a large number of low-level demon soldiers and a small number of middle-level demon soldiers distributed in the outermost periphery, and a small number of high-level demon soldiers and some low-level and middle-level demon generals in the middle, as for the deepest part of the Forest of Devil Cry, there are terrifying demon kings!

There is only one emperor of the demon clan, and that is the demon emperor Chiyou.

However, Chi You was killed by the two emperors of the Terran race Yan and Huang as early as 5,000 years ago.

The demon clan is not united, since the fall of the demon emperor Chiyou, the demon clan has been divided, and the major demon kings occupy one side, and no one obeys anyone. This chaotic situation of the demon clan has lasted for more than 5,000 years, and it is still the case until 2020 AD.

Now, the titular ruler of the Forest of Devil Cry is the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon King!

Here, I have to talk about the strength and class in the demon clan.

In the demon clan, the class is from low to high, which are demon soldiers, demon generals, and demon kings, a total of three classes.

Of course, there is a fourth class in the legend, and that is the Demon Emperor.

But since 5,000 years ago, after the fall of the Demon Emperor Chiyou, there has been no new Demon Emperor born in the Demon Clan, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Demon soldiers, demon generals, and demon kings, which are subdivided into three sub-classes: low-level, intermediate, and high-level, so strictly speaking, the demon clan has a total of nine strength levels.

The demon clan is very particular about bloodline, if a low-level demon soldier has a trace of the blood of some ancient fierce beast in his body, then its cultivation efficiency will definitely be very high, and its strength will also improve quickly.

Corresponding to the strength class of the demon race, the strength of the human race demon hero is also divided into nine levels at the same time.

The strength level of the demon heroes is ranked from the first order to the ninth order, of which the first, second, and third orders belong to the third-rate demon heroes, the fourth, fifth, and sixth orders belong to the second-rate demon heroes, and the seventh, eighth, and ninth orders belong to the first-class demon heroes.

In the world of demon heroes, there has always been a tenth-order demon hero, which belongs to the top demon hero.

But that's just a legend.

Since the disappearance of the Second Emperor of Yan and Huang 5,000 years ago, no demon hero has been able to cultivate to the realm of the tenth order.

Suddenly, a cold shout came from the front and asked, "Who is it?"

The sound is extremely penetrating, like a steel needle piercing the eardrum.

Jiang Hai hurriedly paused, covering his ears with both hands, and at the same time, he secretly manipulated the thunder element in his body to form layers of weak electromagnetic barriers inside the eardrum, filtering out the powerful sound waves that pierced into his ears layer by layer, so that it weakened to the point that it no longer caused damage to his auditory nerves.

Even so, Jiang Hai's ears still flowed a bright red blood.

The powerful sound wave had disappeared, but his ears were still faintly tingling, Jiang Hai stood up with an angry face, his right hand tightly gripping the hilt, and a light blue arc appeared on the pitch-black blade.

"Good at sonic attacks, it should be the means of the wind demon hero, but I didn't sense the strange aura within a radius of 100 meters, so the other party is a sonic attack from a range of 100 meters. ”

Jiang Hai kicked his feet on the ground and ran to a tall tree, hiding his body in the darkness.

"No wonder I haven't sensed any monster breath after walking for so long, it seems that the monsters around me should have been cleaned by that person!"

"That person's strength is very strong, at least above the fourth order, I am definitely not an opponent now, so I should avoid the edge for the time being......" After Jiang Hai was furious, he quickly calmed down, and at the same time kept analyzing his current situation in his heart.

He quickly made a decision, which was to escape!

He jumped off the tree, looked in one direction, and ran wildly.

The difference in the strength of the enemy and me is too great, we must endure!

After all, in this kind of primeval jungle, kill a person, dig a pit and bury it, no one knows.

Or you don't have to bury it at all, just pat your ass and leave after killing, and those blood-devouring demon beasts in the jungle will naturally help dispose of the corpse.

When I look at the body the next day, I may not even have any bones left.

This is because there is a kind of youkai called "Bone Eater" in the Forest of Devil Cry, and it is a famous demon scavenger who likes to chew the bones of creatures slowly into pieces and swallow them into their stomachs.

"Stop!"

It was another penetrating sonic attack, but this time Jiang Hai had already prepared, and the powerful sound waves that burrowed into his ears were filtered by the electromagnetic barrier layer by layer, and finally weakened to the intensity that could not cause damage to the auditory nerves.

Jiang Hai ran wildly, and at the same time concentrated on the electromagnetism within a radius of 100 meters.

Suddenly, a strange and powerful aura entered his electromagnetic induction range, 94 meters, 62 meters, 31 meters......

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Jiang Hai's forehead, and his right hand instantly swung the pitch-black long knife and slashed behind him fiercely, because he sensed that the enemy was staying behind his back at this moment.

The blade cut through the air, making a whimper.

There is no sense of hitting the real thing.

As he swung his knife, his body was turning.

When he turned around completely, in the cold moonlight, he saw a middle-aged man in a black tracksuit floating in the air.

The middle-aged man walked against the wind, with a sword at his waist, a slender figure, eyebrows like knives, deep eyes, a straight nose, thin lips, a white face and a beardless face, and a large number of invisible and colorless wind elements surrounded him, like a gentle and elegant humble gentleman.

The middle-aged man's thin lips opened lightly, and his tone was indifferent: "Who are you?"

Jiang Hai forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, raised his head and said expressionlessly: "Senior, I have no intention of offending, our well water does not violate the river water, since this area is your hunting ground, then I will leave immediately." ”

The middle-aged man spoke again, his voice was very cold, as if he was spitting out a piece of ice crystal: "Let me ask again, who are you?"

In Jiang Hai's electromagnetic induction, the formless and colorless wind element seemed to transform into sharp blades, surrounding him from all directions, as if as long as the middle-aged man's mind moved, he would be immediately cut into a pile of minced meat by the countless wind blades around him.

Killing Intent!

Jiang Hai sensed a very pure killing intent in the middle-aged man's body!

If he doesn't open his mouth again, maybe he will turn into a pile of minced meat in the next second.

Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he forcibly swallowed a mouthful of spit, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and said quickly: "Senior, my name is Jiang Hai, and I am the apprentice of Zhang Zongheng, a professor of alchemy at the Beidou Branch of the Sun Moon Star Academy, and I came to the Devil's Crying Forest to complete the trial task assigned by the master!"

Jiang Hai finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at the middle-aged man suspended in the air with a nervous expression.

Master Zhang Zongheng is very famous in the demon world, and almost all the older generation of demon heroes in China have heard of Master's name.

After all, Master's strength is a sixth-order, and he is also a noble alchemist with a wide range of contacts, and everyone will more or less give some face.

Jiang Hai moved the master out just to make the middle-aged man in front of him jealous and not dare to kill him casually, and at the same time, he silently prayed in his heart that the middle-aged man would not be the master's enemy, otherwise it would be over.

After all, Master Zhang Zongheng has been in the demon world for so many years, and he has many friends and enemies.

If the middle-aged man in front of him is Master's enemy, then he is GG.

Hearing Zhang Zongheng's name, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

Suddenly, as if the ice and snow were melting, the cold wind element around him suddenly became very gentle, like a gust of wind caressing his cheeks.
