In the southwestern border of the land of China, there is a deserted forest, and its specific location cannot be found on the map, because the forest has no official name, let alone official records.

Ordinary people don't even know that the forest exists.

But in the world of Demon Heroes, it has a chilling name - Devil Cry Forest.

……

A bright crescent moon hung in the sky, shining brightly in the inky night sky.

In the dense forest, there is not a trace of wind.

The night was very quiet.

Jiang Hai held a wolf's tooth flashlight in his left hand, a long black knife in his right hand, his eyes were sharp, and he walked in a dark dense forest step by step, followed by a man more than two meters tall and as strong as a black tower.

The tall man held a silver-white axe in his right hand, and his black bull's eyes kept scanning the surroundings with a wary expression.

Jiang Hai's deep voice came from the front, and his tone was a little helpless: "Brother Fugui, can you restrain the aura of your fourth-order earth demon hero, otherwise even if we walk for another two hours, we won't be able to touch a demon clan." ”

When the tall man with a figure like a black tower heard this, he was immediately a little embarrassed, and a silly smile appeared on his face, and said: "Xiaohai, I just promoted to the fourth order a few days ago, and my own demon aura can't be retracted freely for the time being, you let me get familiar with it for two more days, as long as I am given two more days of adaptation, I will be able to completely restrain my demon aura." ”

Jiang Hai had a black line, paused, turned back to him and said, "Brother Fugui, I remember that Master ordered you to come over secretly and hide in the dark to protect my safety, and it's best not to let me know about your existence, right?"

Zhang Fugui reached out and scratched his head a little embarrassed, nodded and replied, "Grandpa Zhang told me so, but...... But haven't I already been discovered by you? ”

"Then you can't follow me closely like a personal bodyguard, with you, a fourth-order earth demon warrior, present, and the periphery of this Devil's Crying Forest is full of some demon soldiers below the fourth order, do you think I will still be in danger? Once those demon soldiers perceive your powerful aura, I am afraid that they will immediately be frightened by you and run away, how can I hunt like this?" Jiang Hai said a lot, his face full of helplessness.

Zhang Fugui tied the silver-white sharp axe he was holding in his right hand to his waist, looked up and smiled: "This ...... It seems like so. But I promised Grandpa Zhang that I must ensure your life's safety, so there is no way to do it, maybe we can run into a stupid demon while walking......"

This big fool with a tendon can have such a naïve idea...... Jiang Hai felt a little helpless and a little moved in his heart.

Although the master seems to be very strict with Jiang Hai on the surface, he loves him very much in his heart, and is afraid that his life will be in danger, so he secretly sent Zhang Fugui to protect him secretly.

……

Since Jiang Hai has not completed the "coming-of-age ceremony", according to the rules that Zhang Zongheng's line of demon heroes has been passed down for thousands of years, he must hunt an intermediate demon soldier again in order to be recognized by the elders of the division and become a qualified demon heir!

Therefore, Jiang Hai only lay in the hospital bed for seven days, and was only halfway recovered from his injuries before he was driven out by Zhang Zongheng.

Before he left, Zhang Zongheng said with a serious face: "Xiao Hai, since you failed to kill a low-level demon soldier before the age of 22, the difficulty of your trial has been upgraded! This time, you have to go to the periphery of the Devil's Cry Forest, kill a mid-level demon soldier with your own hands, and then dig out its blood spirit essence and hand it over to me, as a certificate for you to pass the trial task." ”

In the thousand-year-old inheritance of Zhang Zongheng's demon heroes, there will be more or less some demon hero heirs who have not been able to successfully complete the trial task (through the coming-of-age ceremony) due to various accidents, but they are very lucky to have successfully awakened the power of the bloodline in their bodies before they were 22 years old and successfully promoted to the realm of first-order demon heroes, so for these very special demon hero heirs, they will have a second chance to try.

After all, they are essentially a demon with special powers.

Since the rules that have been passed down for thousands of years cannot be violated at will, Zhang Zongheng can only arrange Jiang Hai to carry out the second trial mission, and the target Jiang Hai wants to hunt this time is no longer a low-level demon soldier, but an intermediate demon soldier.

The difficulty of the trial has skyrocketed!

Zhang Zongheng, who was cold-faced and warm-hearted, was worried about the safety of his beloved apprentice, so he secretly found one of his own grandsons, Zhang Fugui, and asked him to secretly follow Jiang Hai and secretly protect Jiang Hai's safety.

Zhang Fugui is the strongest among the younger generation in Yong'an Village, and he was successfully promoted to the realm of a fourth-order earth demon a few days ago, with a tall and burly figure, and it looks like a black tower from a distance.

……

As soon as Jiang Hai stepped off the green train, he immediately sensed a powerful aura staring at him secretly, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart, but he pretended to be a casual posture on the surface.

Since awakening the thunder ability, Jiang Hai has a cloud of thunder elements controlled by him in his body, which can surround the black knife to enhance the attack power, and by the way, it can also have some effects that paralyze the enemy's nerves, and it can also be activated through the palm of his hand to form a light blue electric ball the size of a fist to attack the enemy;

But the most obvious improvement is Jiang Hai's perception and movement speed, he quickly locked the location of the powerful aura hidden in the crowd by sensing the electromagnetic energy within a hundred meters around him, but he did not choose to startle the snake, but temporarily hid and hurried silently.

At first, Jiang Hai thought that the powerful aura was just passing by by and didn't come to target him on purpose, until that powerful aura followed him all the way to the periphery of the Devil's Cry Forest, and he knew that the other party was coming at him on purpose.

Jiang Hai relied on his greatly increased movement speed and wanted to get rid of the other party, but the other party was like a dog skin plaster, and he couldn't get rid of it, so he kept following him like a little tail.

In the end, Jiang Hai finally couldn't bear it anymore, followed the general direction of the induction in his mind, and when the other party didn't react, he directly killed the door, threw a head-sized "palm thunder" over, and blew up the big tree where the other party was hiding.

After a burst of smoke and dust, Jiang Hai looked at it, and suddenly his head was full of black lines, and he shouted in his voice: "Brother Fugui, why are you here? Ouch, don't hide, your silver-white big axe is so dazzling, it's hard for me to recognize it!"

Zhang Fugui flashed out from behind a stout tree with a smile on his face, and said loudly to Jiang Hai: "Xiaohai, Grandpa Zhang sent me here to protect you secretly. ”

……

If he directly opened his mouth to drive Zhang Fugui away, then he would definitely not agree, so Jiang Hai could only think of a compromise.

Jiang Hai took a deep breath, then slowly spit it out, and said, "Brother Fugui, otherwise, you stay away from me, uh...... It doesn't have to be too far, you can get more than a kilometer away from me, do you think it's okay?"

After hearing this, Zhang Fugui shook his head vigorously and said: "No, my perception range is only 800 meters, I can't be too far away from you, what if you are in danger? No, no, no." ”
