Two days later

At seven o'clock in the morning, the air was exceptionally cold.

At this time of the day, the red fog that enveloped the city became noticeably thicker, and the fog seemed to be about to liquefy into water, and when it was blown by the wind and hit the face, it was moist with a biting cold feeling; When you reach out and touch the red mist in the air, you will feel as if you are grasping something in your palm.

On a pedestrian street in the southwest district of S City, two sneaky men walked out of different lanes, looked around, and then converged, and then walked together to a relatively hidden corner.

"Uncle Tong, it's been a long time..."

"Haha, Xiaohui, I haven't seen you for more than two years, and you're still the same as before..."

After the two exchanged polite greetings for a while, one of them, an older mature man in his thirties, whispered: "Xiaohui, I heard from others last night that over there in the Southern District, there are already demon hunters who have successfully killed boss-level demonic creatures, and it is still an archer. ”

The young man standing with him looked delicate, his eyes were wooden, a little natural, he was wearing a certain gray wide-brimmed round hat on his head, and his hands were in his pockets at this time, and he said lightly: "I also heard Uncle He and them say this last night, and they have already left for the southern district in a few days" When he spoke, his eyes were blank, as if he hadn't woken up, and his voice was a little like a baby's voice.

"I've heard that a lot of witchers are attracted to it now, and I want to see if the rumored strongest witcher is really that powerful, don't you want to go?" The mature man asked.

"Me? I haven't thought about it yet..."The young man in the hat looked down at his heels and said softly, "If he can really kill a boss-level demonic creature, then it's not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest demon hunter right now..."

The mature man said curiously: "What about you, didn't everyone say that you encountered a leader-level mutant demon dog before, and fought with it, did you kill it in the end?" ”

Hearing this, the young man's clear black eyes flashed with a hint of complexity, and he shook his head and said, "The demonic creature at the boss level is too strong, I can't kill it..."

"Hehe, it's already amazing." The mature man did not hide the admiration in his eyes, and said with a smile: "It is already not easy to fight with a boss-level demonic creature and retreat, Xiaohui, you have to be confident, I think your strength will not be worse than that mysterious archery master." ”

The young man in the hat smiled shyly and changed the subject: "Uncle Tong, are you going over there too?" ”

The mature man nodded and smiled, "Well, I and two other friends I know are ready to go." By the way, Xiaohui, why don't you come with us, let's go and meet the so-called strongest demon hunter together, see if it's in vain, and everyone can take care of it on the way, how about it? He said with an earnest look in his eyes.

The young man in the hat bowed his head and was silent for a while.

The mature man thought that he was unwilling, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, and he didn't want the young man to continue: "Okay, I'll go with you..."

……

At the same time, on a relatively wide road from the northwest district to the south district of S City, a jeep with its headlights on and its body covered in mud broke the silence.

Because there was already ice in many places on the road, the road surface became wet and smooth, and the jeep was not moving fast; In addition, there are many abandoned vehicles on this road, and those stinking rotting corpses can be seen everywhere.

But there are no demonic creatures in sight here, maybe they can't find food and have left, or maybe they're hiding in some dark spot on the road, waiting for an opportunity to attack people passing by.

Although this road is not easy to walk, it is clear that the owner's driving skills are good, and the driving speed is not too slow.

Sitting in the car are two men and two women, both witches, respectively, an archer, a healer, a swordsman and a boxer, with long-range attacks and melee combat, and the vision can be controlled well, and the most important thing is that there is a healer inside.

This kind of staffing is already a very good team at present, as long as it is properly coordinated and its own strength is not too bad, even if it encounters two or three demonized creatures at the same time, it can basically win, no wonder these four people dare to drive directly on the road.

Sitting in the driver's seat in front were a man and a woman, the man was in charge of driving, about fifty years old, with white temples, slightly fat face, and bright eyes; The woman is twenty-three or four-year-old, with outstanding appearance and a slightly cold temperament.

If Xu Hao was here, he would definitely recognize this cold and glamorous woman, who was the first acquaintance he encountered when he was reborn: Zhao Yaqing.

"Dad, the road here is very slippery, you be careful..."

Zhao Yaqing's beautiful eyes carefully checked the situation outside the car, and reminded her father Zhao Yusheng, who was driving beside her.

As an archer, her eyesight and perception are the best of the four, and the task of scouting her surroundings is naturally left to her.

As soon as Zhao Yaqing's words fell, the handsome young man who was sitting at the back of the carriage with another young woman immediately said, "Uncle, why don't you let me drive, you can rest first." ”

His name is Ye Sicheng, and he and Zhao Yaqing used to be colleagues, and the demon hunter profession is a boxer.

"Shit, go aside!" Zhao Yusheng snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Your father and I, a thirty-year-old driver, have never seen any strong winds and waves, and a broken road can stump me?" What an international joke! I want your dad and me to go north and south—"

"Okay, okay, you're the best! Drive your car seriously, no one will rob it. Zhao Yaqing glanced at her father and continued to look outside the car.

Ye Sicheng had the intention to please but was choked, and then he smiled and echoed: "Hehe, uncle's sword is not old, Xiao Ye has the opportunity to secretly learn from you..."

The woman sitting next to him was very young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a goose egg face, shoulder-length hair, a delicate nose, big eyes that sparkled, and a beautiful smile.

Her name is Ruan Xiaohe, she was originally a high school student, her parents died after the disaster broke out, and she happened to meet Zhao Yaqing and others in a crisis event.

At this time, Ruan Xiaohe was rummaging through a pile of newspapers, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and her eyes were attracted by the title of one of the newspapers, and she read it with relish.

"Sister Yaqing, look at this, it turns out that the mysterious archery master has already been in the newspaper-" Ruan Xiaohe happily handed the newspaper in front of him.

"What?"

As soon as the other three people in the car heard her say this, their attention was drawn to it.

The reason why they and their group are going to the Southern District now is because the number of demonic creatures in the center of the city is too dense to suit their survival and development; On the one hand, Ling also heard from other demon hunters that a very strong archer appeared on the southern side, and he killed countless demonic creatures by himself, and also defeated a leader-level flying demonic creature.

It is said that there are no demonic creatures in the area where the mysterious archer is located now, and it is relatively safe.

Moreover, in the past two days, they had also seen some demon hunters rush to the southern side, and based on a herd mentality, the four of them set off without thinking about it for long.

Zhao Yaqing took the newspaper, first habitually looked at the date, and found that it happened to be issued on the day the demonized creature appeared, which was also the last newspaper issued by the People's Daily of S City.

Let's look at the title again: "A mysterious archery master appeared on Zhongcheng Avenue in the southern district, helping the army to kill unknown humanoid monsters...... Written by: Chen Wei. ”

After a quick look at the entire article about the mysterious archery master's killing of the two-headed demons, one or two scenes naturally appeared in Zhao Yaqing's mind.

"Rumor has it that he killed nine demons on the first day..."

"But archers, can they really be that strong?"

Zhao Yaqing's beautiful eyes showed a look of puzzlement. She is an archer herself, let alone nine demons, and without the help of her teammates, she simply cannot face a demon alone.

"Or is it just that I'm too weak... Alas, the feeling of not being able to help is really annoying..."

"If only I had half the strength of this man... Maybe I'm not suited to the profession of an archer at all..."

Putting down the newspaper, Zhao Yaqing looked through the car window at the bleak scenery of the white horse passing by, and inexplicably, the back of a man who was far away appeared in her mind.

If it weren't for his reminder, maybe he wouldn't even have a chance to become an archer, and his father Zhao Yusheng would have been the same; Without his last words, their father and daughter might have died of the Red Mist Virus.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yaqing's mind once again sounded the last words left by Xu Hao when he left:

"If you come across some colorful balls of light soon, remember, be sure to catch them!"

"This is your only hope of survival!"

Every word Xu Hao said at that time, Zhao Yaqing now remembers it clearly, and she doesn't know how she will believe his words later, and when she saw a red ball of light falling not far away on the road, she went up and grabbed it without thinking about it - maybe it was the seriousness in Xu Hao's eyes that touched her at that time.

It's a look you can trust.

But the more this happened, the more Zhao Yaqing became more curious about Xu Hao, and she found that she didn't know this college classmate who had been a classmate for four years.

"Xu Hao, Xu Hao, what kind of person are you?"

"Where are you now?"

Just when she was deep in thought, Zhao Yusheng's voice came from her ears.

"What do you think? Look at the road! ”

Zhao Yaqing trembled, as if someone had discovered a little secret, and hurriedly said, "Oh, it's nothing!" I'm sorry..."Get rid of the thoughts in your head, turn on Eagle Eye again, and carefully investigate the movement around the outside of the car...

……

At 8:30 in the morning, southeast of the newly built residential area in the southern district, the residential area where Xu Hao and the big demon had a fierce battle.

Since noon yesterday, this residential area, which had been devastated by the aftermath of the battle between Xu Hao and the Great Demon Lord, suddenly appeared a lot of unfamiliar figures.

They were all witchers who had arrived here from different parts of S City.

Some are alone, and some are in groups.

And every demon hunter who came here stood in place for a long time in amazement and shock when they saw the corpse of the huge demon owl firmly nailed to the wall of a tall building.

You must know that many of them came with a half-believing attitude when they first heard the news; Even many people were not convinced because of this, and came to challenge this so-called strongest demon hunter in person.

But after seeing this amazing scene, especially after going inside and watching the battle scene on the scene, no one would doubt the strength of that mysterious archery master.

The facts are in front of them, and they can't help but be unconvinced.

After the many demon hunters came here, they quickly divided into seven or eight large and small forces, and settled in some buildings near this residential area, watching out for each other, looking at each other, and even clashes from time to time, but they were all small fights, and so far there were no fatal incidents.

The demon hunters who came here, regardless of whether they had grudges in the past or not, all had a tacit understanding with each other to maintain a relatively peaceful state and would not take the initiative to destroy this balance.

The main thing is that the demonic creatures outside have caused them too much pressure!

In fact, many witchers here have realized that they can't survive in a city full of monsters alone.

They had been looking for an opportunity for the witchers from all regions to come together, and the more people there were, the better. At that time, everyone will choose each other, become companions, and fight against demonized creatures together in the coming days, and complete various tasks released by the Demon Hunting Emblem together.

This time, the mysterious archery master successfully killed the boss-level demonic creatures, which gave them such an opportunity.

There was such an opportunity that one person longed for, and as long as it was the demon hunter who heard the news, and if he had a little foresight, most of them rushed over.

On the one hand, I want to meet the mysterious archery master who has been respected by everyone as the first person among the witchers in the region, and see if there is a chance to hug his thighs; On the other hand, as mentioned above, find a suitable organization for yourself in order to better survive and develop.

Now, two days later, there are more than fifty demon hunters from all over the world and different professions, including ambitious people and powerful people, especially those who have formed a team.

There is not a single one of these ambitious people who does not want to try to integrate the more than fifty demon hunters here and turn them into the cornerstone of their future development and growth.

But no one succeeds, and even the slightest suggestion of a similar will, even if it is only in a joking tone, will be ridiculed, sarcastic, and uncooperative.

Everyone is a demon hunter, although the strength is high and low, but so far there is not much difference, at least at present, there is no strong existence among these witchers who can dominate and lead the way with a grade of ten.

Everyone was waiting for someone to show up—the mysterious archery master who had single-handedly slain the Great Demon Owl.

Since everyone came because of him, he is the only one who is qualified to say something.

Although they didn't witness the killing of the Great Demon Owl by this mysterious archery master, anyone who came here and saw the horrific scenes of a series of buildings collapsing and streets shattering caused by the scene can roughly imagine how fierce the battle was at that time.

This is not at all the same level as them.

Only with such strength can they be convinced.
