Thinking of this legend, Liu Hesheng subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He had been in the excitement of finally being able to follow Nie Yan to slay demons together, and finally felt a trace of fear.

Such a fear made Liu Hesheng couldn't help but glance at Nie Yan, and suddenly felt that the sky, which was originally quite clear, had become a little darker and gloomy.

This feeling called creepiness has almost disappeared after becoming a demon hunter, and now it has resurfaced.

Liu Hesheng couldn't help but take three steps and two steps, almost running, and ran to Nie Yan's side.

Huddled under the tree with Nie Yan, the expression on his face was a little panicked.

"What are you doing?" Nie Yan looked a little funny, and he didn't know what Liu Hesheng thought of, so he couldn't help asking.

"Brother Nie, you sue me, sue me, is it that legend, a painting?" Liu Hesheng didn't care about Nie Yan's smile, he was already afraid, and he felt that there was no need to hide it in front of Nie Yan, and it was not a shame to be afraid.

Faced with Liu Hesheng's question, Nie Yan did not speak, but directly took out a piece of paper from the cloth bag he was carrying.

This is a piece of paper folded at random, he handed it to Liu Hesheng, and motioned for Liu Hesheng to unfold it and look at it.

Liu Hesheng had a vague premonition in his heart, and he didn't have the courage to open the paper, but said in a trembling voice: "Brother Nie, you won't be so capable, right?" Can you get this too? ”

Nie Yan squinted his eyes, smiled, and said, "This is not the original painting, but a fake, which was copied by someone who was fortunate enough to see the original painting." ”

"I'm really going to kill that big demon." Liu Hesheng's tone was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that as soon as he kept up with Nie Yan, he would directly face the legendary monster, is this the difference in the realm?

Having said that, Liu Hesheng's hands were still a little trembling, and he opened the painting with some excitement, muttering: "It's okay, I can finally see what this legendary monster is?" Back then, I only heard this legend, and few people had seen the paintings, saying that there were monsters and everything. ”

As he spoke, the folded piece of paper was unfolded by Liu Hesheng.

At this moment, Liu Hesheng was a little nervous, instinctively closed his eyes, and felt too embarrassed, so he glanced at Nie Yan embarrassedly, and then his eyes fell on the painting.

Just by glancing at it, Liu Hesheng let out a low 'ah'!

I couldn't help but pick up the painting and look at it over and over again.

There are no monsters with green seedlings and fangs as he imagined, and there is no excessive blood.

The whole painting is an indescribable oppression, under the dark sky, outside the silent city walls, countless people with lost faces are entangled in unknown rattan and hung in the air.

And in the air, there was a half-blood-colored shadow that seemed to be nothing, and on the ground there was a hideous reflection, like a ghost hand with teeth and claws.

From a distance, the whole picture looks like a picture of a view outside the city.

It's just like there was a tree with blood-red leaves outside the city, with strange notes on it, and the tree was full of humanoid fruits, which fell down with the vines of the tree.

"This," Liu Hesheng pointed to the painting, and his throat felt like a piece of meat was blocked and he didn't swallow it.

Yes, there is not the slightest bit of gore in this painting, there is not the slightest panic.

Yes, it's just a deathly silence and a dark and depressing feeling, which makes people feel hopeless at first glance, presumably the mood of the person who painted at that time, right?

"Do you see that?" Nie Yan whispered.

"Dryad, it's such a rebellious dryad?! Dare to devour so many people? Liu Hesheng waved his hands and didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart.

"To be exact, there's something weird behind it. I've investigated carefully, and this dryad used to only occasionally devour passers-by near the official road, and never moved to harass nearby villages and towns! Once, there were also demon hunters who were ready to hunt this dryad, but this dryad was cautious and cunning, and he dodged it again and again. Nie Yan began to talk about this secret that few people knew.

Hearing this, Liu Hesheng also frowned.

The implication of Nie Yan's words couldn't be more obvious, that is, although the tree demon is also a cannibal and takes the path of demon cultivation, it is not too much, it is not the fierce demon who slaughters the village and the town at every turn.

And because of his cautious and cautious 'personality', he definitely couldn't dare to devour the city and nearby towns and villages overnight.

so

"It's weird, isn't it?" Seeing Liu Hesheng's frowning appearance, Nie Yan knew that he had understood what he meant, so he didn't explain much.

Liu Hesheng nodded and said, "That's right, there must be something drastic behind this." ”

"So, this time, it's not just about killing that heinous dryad, but also about investigating what's going on behind it? When I look at the classics, I always feel that there are some amazing coincidences in history, and the events of the past are not necessarily the mirror of today. Nie Yan said seriously.

Liu Hesheng put away the painting in a daze, and there was an excitement in his heart that rose again.

He found that he had to follow Nie Yan in order to get in touch with some of the core things of the demon hunter's identity.

If so, even if you die, you will have no regrets in this life.

The short conversation did not affect the itinerary of the two, and the two were on the road again in the snow.

And the snow in this mountain either doesn't fall, and it almost can't stop all at once.

The heavy snow of the previous day, with a slight pause for half a day in between, was another heavy snowfall.

If you don't find a cave in the snow to rest, you can only spend the night in the snow.

But on this day, it was clear that it was close to dusk, but Nie Yan and Liu Hesheng did not stop to find a place to rest.

They all knew in their hearts that they were about to approach the dryad.

Just because, the qiē here is too abnormal, not only there are many traces of animals in the forest, there is not even birdsong, and even the plants are much sparser.

Occasionally, only one or two poisonous snakes and reptiles will come out, inexplicably gloomy.

This is a slope, and standing here, you can see in the distance the broken traces of the once swallowed city.

It is not a big city, but there are tens of thousands of residents in the city, and it has been swallowed up like this, an unimaginable shocking tragedy.

Nie Yan stood halfway up the slope like this, looking up and looking ahead.

Maybe Liu Hesheng couldn't see anything, but Nie Yan used the secret technique to see a small piece of black qi in front of him at a glance, and only a monster who had committed a shocking evil could form such a black qi.

In this black aura, there is resentment and a lot of negative aura, and of course, it also reveals the strength of this dryad from the side.

Because of the snow, the sky at this time was overcast, but it was white and dazzling.

Nie Yan suddenly stopped and said to Liu Hesheng: "Tonight, don't move forward, let's rest here for the night." ”

Liu Hesheng never had any objections to Nie Yan's decision, and he began to get busy at the moment, arranging the formation, and tidying up a place to rest.

It's just that in this kind of place, it is a luxury for Nie Yan to want to eat delicious again, because of the specific situation, he does not allow Liu Hesheng to delay his actions at such a time.

In winter, it always gets dark very early, and the white sky, which was bright just now, is replaced by a dark night sky in the blink of an eye.

Liu Hesheng seemed to have no heart or lungs, and after eating dry food, he fell asleep, as if he was in the most comfortable inn, snoring sweetly.

Nie Yan had something on his mind and could not sleep.

This dryad is obviously already demonic, why has there been no demon hunter to kill this dryad who committed this shocking bloody case for so many years?

The snow was blowing at this time, and Nie Yan was leaning against a low tree, just covered with a thin cloth, thinking about this problem, a little puzzled.

At this time, a blue-purple butterfly flew in the dark night sky, half the size of a human face, like a dream, I don't know where it came from, it circled on this small hillside, and flew away again.

Nie Yan's eyes stared at the butterfly and frowned.

He felt a faint demonic aura and aura from this butterfly, indicating that this is an extremely rare demon cultivator, you must know that reptiles and other species need to cultivate demons, which is a hundred times more difficult than animals, but it is easier than stubborn rocks and trees, and I see a butterfly that has stepped into the demon path here?

That's new! After all, which big demon's territory can allow the storage of other monsters?

To say that killing this butterfly, for Nie Yan, it was definitely just a matter of raising his hand, but I don't know why, Nie Yan never made a move.

Perhaps this butterfly is too beautiful with gorgeous wings, like a dancing elf in this dark night.

Or maybe it's disdain to treat the weak like this.

In fact, for Nie Yan, the biggest reason is just because he can't feel the slightest bit of evil qi from this butterfly, but can feel the fragrance of flowers and trees, and it is as peaceful as a pure mountain spring.

It shows that this butterfly did not even kill any evil, including killing an insect! Otherwise, if there is no evil qi brought by killing, there will definitely be no natural fragrance of flowers and trees on the body.

Such a demon, Nie Yan would never kill it.

But I also became more and more curious about this place.

The next day, it was dawn very early.

Compared with Liu Hesheng, Nie Yan got up earlier.

But instead of practicing his sword as usual, he organized what he had with him in the same way.

Liu Hesheng was in a daze, and what he saw was such a Nie Yan.

He habitually wanted to set up a formation, but was stopped by Nie Yan.

Nie Yan told him: "No need, cross this mountain, there should be a valley ahead, and the Dryad is there!" ”
