In the meadow next to the forest, a teenager in a leather jacket is sitting on a large rock and smoking. Keep your eyes fixed on the gloomy bushes ahead. An old ranger came up and said:

"Young people, smoking is not allowed here."

The boy looked at him, got up from the stone, and took two steps forward:

"What about here?"

"No, either."

The boy shook his head in disappointment, took a few more steps, and asked tentatively, "Is it okay here?" ”

"Still not."

The frustrated boy took a few steps to the left, and no longer had hope, and said, "Isn't it okay here?" ”

The old man of the forest ranger scolded:

"You're done pumping and you're asking me! Exercise! ”

“……”

Ding Lingxiu extinguished the cigarette butt and smiled at the old man of the guard:

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I have to do something, don't take it as an example."

"Oops...... Where are you going? ”

"The woods ahead." Ding Lingxiu said as he took out the demon compass from his backpack.

"Young man, listen to my advice, really don't go in, this mountain forest is a demon forest, once you enter, you will definitely die." The old man who guarded the forest spoke earnestly.

"Oh, I know." Ding Lingxiu said disapprovingly, his eyes still staring at the demon compass in his hand.

The quaint stone compass swayed, and Ding Lingxiu walked straight forward, as if there was nothing beside him. The old man couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed him.

"Huh? Young man, why are you so disobedient, I've been living here for more than ten years, can I still lie to you? It's a shortcut back to the county, but don't pass through here. ”

"Why?" Ding Lingxiu muttered, obviously taking the old man's words as a deaf ear.

"This ...... It's haunted......" The old man lowered his voice and looked around warily, as if he was afraid of something.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Ding Lingxiu smiled humorously, and his footsteps had no intention of stopping.

"You're not afraid of ghosts?" The old man was amazed.

"A hundred years later, I will also turn into a ghost, why be afraid?" Ding Lingxiu replied indifferently.

The silent valley was windy, and it was unusually silent except for the rustle of leaves in the breeze.

"Stinky boy, how can you take life as a child's play. Don't blame me for being hacked, keep going and you'll die. The old man raised his hoe and prepared to use the wooden pole of the hoe to knock Ding Lingxiu unconscious.

Ding Lingxiu only felt a strong wind hit the back of his head, he immediately dodged sideways, and the old man knocked it into the air with a hoe, and almost fell to the ground.

And Ding Lingxiu didn't even look back, and continued to bury his head and walk forward, as if nothing had happened.

"Hey...... Why is this kid so tough? ”

Looking at Ding Lingxiu in the distance, the old man sighed, but he didn't dare to chase after him, because Ding Lingxiu was already very close to the ghostly mountain forest.

The slanting sun was like blood, and the dwarf trees that had not yet shown their vitality in the dim light stood alone among the bushes, and the faint golden yellow on the treetops that was quietly painted by the setting sun added a bit of vitality to the dead silence.

Ding Lingxiu walked and gradually entered the mountains and forests, the mist in front of him became thicker and thicker, and the air condensed like milk, but it seemed to be flowing slowly. In the hazy light, the shadows of the trees swayed, and it seemed that countless creatures were moving inside.

"Hee-hee-hee......"

didn't go far, a woman's charming laughter penetrated Ding Lingxiu's ears, in this barren mountain and wilderness, if it were someone else, he would definitely be full of excitement. Because the sound was so high-pitched and weird, it seemed to come out of the cracks in the throat.

Ding Lingxiu didn't care, raised his head to look at the surrounding environment, and gently shook his somewhat sour neck.

"Hee-hee...... Come on......"

The ghostly voice came again, originally the voice would not echo among the lush leaves, but this call echoed in Ding Lingxiu's ears, and it seemed long and breathtaking.

Ding Lingxiu stopped and took out a quaint kraft book and a ceramic vial from the backpack behind him.

The book is very old, but it is not tattered, and it seems that the person who kept it is very delicate. On the top of the book, there are three large gilt characters written in a font similar to Lishu, and the kraft book is bound with red rope, and the workmanship looks very rough. Under the big characters, there is also a pattern of a green dragon.

Ding Lingxiu lightly touched the liquid in the ceramic bottle to a little bit in his hand, then dipped it and opened the kraft book, this red liquid was obviously some kind of blood.

Under his flipping, the vellum book revealed pages of yellow kraft paper inside, but if you look closely, there is a paragraph at the bottom of the kraft paper, and the font is very small, similar to the annotations of a book. But there is no text in the text, only a strange border, which is made up of strange runes, and looks like a cage to bind something in the blank space of the text.

After turning several pages, I turned to a page with different content, the blank space on this page was occupied by a full-length painting of a beautiful woman, the picture was very simple, like a child's stick figure, but the young woman in the painting actually looked lifelike, jumping on the paper. The woman is holding a paper umbrella, her posture is superb, and her movements are like a leisurely stroll, leisurely.

Ding Lingxiu looked at the picture, folded his hands, and the cowhide book was suspended in the air, and the body of the book showed a faint blue shimmer.

"Above the secluded world, far away from the river, the clouds are barren, and the four spirits are sacred."

Ding Lingxiu closed his eyes and muttered.

"Ice and drizzle, reckless encounters, rugged road ahead, never give up."

After reading the last four sentences, the woman in the book seemed to have life, and actually stood up from the paper, and the woman's body composed of lines absorbed the blood dipped in Ding Lingxiu's fingers from the kraft paper to the body, turning into a red villain, and a trace of coolness diffused in the air.

Immediately after, a cluster of red light was projected onto the ground, and a vague figure appeared in front of Ding Lingxiu's eyes.

The little man dancing on the page vanished, leaving only the red word "Rain Girl" in the margin.

"Long time no see, Rain Girl."

Ding Lingxiu closed the kraft book and stretched out his hand to say hello to the illusory figure.

The light and shadow were in a trance, and a cold and glamorous beauty with ice muscles and jade bones slowly appeared, she was wearing a splendid neon dress, holding a flower folding umbrella in her hand, looking at Ding Lingxiu affectionately, her eyes cut water.

"Little spiritual master, what is the matter with calling the slave family today?" The rain girl smiled skillfully, and her voice was as beautiful as a cuckoo's cry.

"There are no outsiders here, talk well." Ding Lingxiu pursed his lips and lowered his head to buckle his nails.

"Ding Lingxiu, what time is it, what are you doing when you have nothing to do to recruit me?" The rain girl crossed her waist and became gloomy, like a shrew.

"Sister Xiaoyu, there is a lot of demonic aura here, and according to the information I have gathered recently. I guess the Humanface Tree is here. Ding Lingxiu said.

"Huh? Human-faced trees? Then what are you calling me out for, you have to find an iron rat for this kind of thing, you drink fake wine, right? The rain girl was even more angry, and raised her head and pouted.

"I'm not asking you to come out to fight, I'm just asking you to do a little favor." Ding Lingxiu smiled and gently pulled the long sleeves of the rain girl.

"Help? You won't let me help you with the rain, will you? ”

"You're so smart, people say you're big-chested and brainless, you're different."

"Hee-hee, don't keep boasting about people like this, although it's the truth."

The rain girl put her hands behind her back and staggered.

"No, I mean you're brainless."

"You ......"

The rain girl glared angrily, and Ding Lingxiu only felt a numbness on the top of his head, and the extremely hard flower folding umbrella bar smashed on his head.

"Oh, just kidding, it's not going to happen." Ding Lingxiu rubbed his head painfully and looked at the rain girl aggrievedly.

"Hurry up, what's the matter, people are very busy."

"Okay, then I'll get down to business, that's the case, I took a look at the demon compass through guò, and the demon energy here is very scattered, which means that there is not only a monster here, but at least there are many small tree spirits. So I don't want to reveal my spiritual powers until I find it, so I'll have to use your powers. ”

"With my strength? I can't help you with anything but the rain? The rain girl scratched her bun and looked lovely in the shadows of the trees.

"No need to rain, just use your moisture, the environment here is extremely humid, you can drastically weaken my aura by covering my body with your moisture, making me look no different from ordinary people."

"You're so thoughtful. Well, I'll try. ”

After the rain girl finished speaking, she gently waved the flower folding umbrella in her hand, and the colorful halo swirled gently in the afterglow, and the silver bead-like water droplets fell.

Not long after, a cloud of light blue water vapor appeared in the air, and the rain girl gently blew on the light blue water vapor, and the gas slowly moved and floated to Ding Lingxiu's body, wrapping him inside, and gradually seeping into his body.

"Alright, let's get it." The rain girl put away her umbrella and clapped her hands.

"Well, well, yes, that's it, although it's a little damp." Ding Lingxiu nodded, very satisfied with the damp coat that the rain girl had made for herself.

"Don't pick and choose, what a troublesome master."

The rain girl muttered and gently poked Ding Lingxiu's nose with her white jade finger.

"Okay, they won't be able to see how much spiritual power I have now."

"You're afraid to scare them away, why don't you do it outside the woods? Isn't that safer. The rain girl looked at the ghostly dense forest around her, and she didn't understand.

"What did I say just now, you are really brainless, it's not as humid as here outside, and most of the moisture you created will dissipate before you come in, and although it's already evening, I'm afraid it's still dangerous to stand outside with your demonic power."

"Yo? I still care so much about other people, it's really wrong for you, I have time to invite you to dinner. The rain girl smiled and said, her beautiful eyes shining.

"Huh...... As far as your craft is concerned, I have learned it. The rain girl's words seemed to arouse a painful memory of Ding Lingxiu.

"Che, you really don't know the Lord of Exaltation, is there anything else? There's no me to go. The rain girl put away the umbrella and gently grasped it in her hand.

"Thank you, big beauty, goodbye."

The rain girl waved her hand at him, as if smiling.

Ding Lingxiu opened the book and recited the spell just now, the figure of the rain girl gradually dimmed, and gradually turned into a beam of red light flying into the book, and a drop of blood squeezed out of the villain's body and flowed into the circle in the lower right corner of the rain girl's page.

Seeing off the rain girl, Ding Lingxiu closed the brown book, put it in his backpack, and continued to walk into the depths of the dense forest.

"Hee-hee...... Come on......"

Between the pines and cypresses that covered the sky and the sun, there was a supernatural sound again.

Ding Lingxiu strode with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and he really couldn't contain the excitement in his heart. As a demon hunter, after searching for more than ten days of traces of the human face tree, he finally found the clue, which is undoubtedly a great pleasure.
