Chapter 22: The Hunters' Guild Arrives
When the Purple Fire Protector quasi-chase rushed into the area full of hunting traps, an uninvited guest appeared.
"Zihuo, I can't imagine that you are still dead. An old man with a white beard intercepted in front of the Purple Fire Protector.
"Third Elder of the Hunter Guild?" said the Purple Fire Protector in a deep voice.
As the elders of the Hunter Guild, the lowest strength is the honorable level, and if there is no power of the curse, the purple fire protector still has the power to fight, but now he only has the ability to escape.
"Damn, it must be that kid who is tipping the news. But when did the Hunter Guild do things so fast. "The Purple Fire Protector originally thought that the arrival of the Hunter Guild would be several days, enough for them to find Qinglan, the owner of the cursed power, and then leave safely.
But I didn't expect it to appear so soon, and it was the third elder who killed people without blinking.
If he was captured alive by this third elder, it would definitely be worse than death, and even the original plan of the Purple Fire Protector would be ruined.
Therefore, the Purple Fire Protector had no choice but to flee.
"Nine Hell Hells!"
With one move of the Nine Hells as a feint, the Purple Fire Protector took the opportunity to escape.
However, the three elders had already seen the trick of the Purple Fire Protector, and with a wave of his hand, a huge wall of rocks appeared in front of him, stopping the feint attack of the Purple Fire Protector.
"Don't try to run away in front of me!"
The three elders conjured up a huge rock palm, ready to capture the Purple Fire Protector.
However, the Purple Fire Protector did not hesitate to burn his own life in order to escape for his life, and once again resorted to the Nine Hells.
"Damn, he ran away. The Third Elder dispersed the Nine Shadows Flames and said in an airy manner.
Originally, the four elders let Jian Xiao directly accept this special task to suspect the existence of purple fire, and prepared to let Jian Xiao directly lead out purple fire.
As a result, Jian Xiaozhi really found the traces of Zihuo, and the four elders immediately told the news to the three elders.
The three elders of the last death march hated the resurgence of the purple fire, and when they heard the news of the purple fire, they immediately rushed to Chenghe Town. happened to encounter the scene of the purple fire protector chasing and killing Jian Xiaozhi, but unfortunately, the people of the purple fire not only have a way to enslave mutant beasts, but also a secret method to burn their lives to escape. This is the purple fire of the year that left a remnant.
For the three elders of the Purple Fire Protector who escaped, he gave up catching up and chose to catch up with the fleeing Jian Xiaozhi, because he still had someone in his hand that even the Hunter Guild had to pay attention to.
As for Jian Xiaozhi, who had escaped, of course he heard the movement of the three elders fighting with the Purple Fire Protector, but he didn't stop.
Although he knew that the people from the Hunter Guild were coming, because he was a sword hunter himself, it was estimated that the other party would not give a good color, so Jian Xiaozhi insisted on choosing to continue to escape.
Dodge a trap with one, but the sword is still hung by a small number of traps. Fortunately, these traps are mainly hunting, that is, these traps are not quenched.
The three elders chasing behind him frowned, and Jian Xiaozhi's escape path could actually hide his perception.
"Funny boy, no wonder the fourth child will give you this task. However, it also happens to see how strong the people the Sword Pavilion is concerned about. The third elder squinted and said.
This trap area is very large, unless the three elders destroy it all, they can't find where Jian Xiaozhi is.
Because the Purple Fire Protector had fled, the Beast Tide plan against Chenghe Town had also been in vain.
Aomine only has some regrets about Jian Xiaozhi's disappearance, anyway, everyone who understands knows that Jian Xiaozhi is just an alien hunter, not a mountain god at all. and the curse of Chenghe Town, because of Qinglan's awakening of the power of the curse, absorbed all the curse effects in the river.
In other words, from now on, Chenghe Town is no longer a closed paradise.
It was night, and Jian Xiaozhi didn't know how far he had escaped or how many traps he had dodged away. But at this time, he was really tired, so he had to find a big tree and hide on the trunk of the big tree with Qinglan, who was still unconscious, so as not to be attacked by mutant beasts in the middle of the night.
The next day, Jian Xiaozhi woke up to Qinglan's whine.
Qinglan felt that the feeling of being held by Jian Xiaozhi was really warm, and in the past twenty years, no one else has been good to her except her sister Qinghua.
Or maybe Qinglan herself is the source of the curse, so the people of the town are very disgusted with her, so she left the town and moved to the edge of the town.
"Can you let me go? Qinglan said as thin as a gnat.
Fortunately, Jian Xiaozhi's hearing was sensitive and he heard Qinglan's words.
He let go of his hands before he said, "I'll take you down." ”
Because of the power of the curse and the fire poison of the Nine Shades Flame, Qinglan was still a little weak at this time.
"Take it with you now, and I'll go find something to eat for you." ”
After not eating for a day and a night, and fighting repeatedly, Jian Xiaozhi is now a little hungry.
And Qinglan was a little weak, so Jian Xiaozhi just found some fruits to eat.
After Qinglan ate the two fruits, she asked Jian Xiaozhi, "Where is my sister Qinghua?"
Because Qinglan was unconscious before, she couldn't see the scene where she was killed by the Purple Fire Protector in order to let Jian Xiaozhi and Qinglan escape. Jian Xiaozhi was also a little selfish, and he didn't want to see Qinglan sad. So he decided to speak: "I'm sorry, Qinghua was still taken away by Zihuo's people." ”
Qinglan was a little lost and silent.
At least it's better to see than to tell about Qinghua's death.
The Hunter's Capital, in the Hunters' Guild in the five-star region.
After the four elders took care of the affairs of Chenghe Town, they returned to the Hunter Guild.
"Third Elder, what do you think of the Purple Fire's conspiracy this time?" the Fourth Elder asked in a deep voice.
"Danger!" the third elder spat out a word.
"Danger?" the four elders were puzzled.
"If I go one step late this time, the cursed body will fall into the hands of Purple Fire, and when the time comes, they will be able to merge the power of the curse into the beast tide, then they can defeat the entire Hunter Capital without blowing the blow. The Third Elder said solemnly.
"Then why don't you bring the Cursed Body back. The four elders said angrily, this matter is related to the safety of the Hunter Capital, how can it be casual.
However, the Third Elder glared at the Fourth Elder and said fiercely, "It's not that you did a good job, that kid took the cursed body away, and he also evaded my detection. ”
"No, that kid can get away with your detection. No, even if that kid can evade your detection, it's impossible for the cursed body to be undetectable with the strong power of the curse. The four elders said suspiciously.
The Third Elder shook his head and sighed, "I don't know what secret technique that kid used to suppress the cursed power of the cursed body. However, that kid will be back soon, and it is estimated that he will also bring the cursed body back to the Hunter's Capital by then, so why rush. ”
"You, this kid has a grudge against the people of Purple Fire, and now it is strange that he is not besieged with the cursed body by his side. The four elders gritted their teeth and said.
"If that's the case, I can't help it. ”
At this moment, a half-hundred-year-old man appeared in front of the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder with a coughing sound.
"Second Elder, why are you here?" the Third Elder asked in a good voice.
"I've been talking about it for decades, don't call me the second child. The second elder said angrily, but he couldn't help coughing again.
"Second brother, has the old injury recurred?" the fourth elder asked nervously.
"Hey, the wounds left back then are gone. The second elder waved his hand and said.
Recalling the annihilation of Purple Fire back then, the Second Elder fought hard, and finally left injuries when he was besieged by the three Dharma Protectors of Purple Fire, and only then did he fall to the old injuries he has now.
"By the way, I heard you guys talking about the Purple Fire just now, can't they resurrect from the ashes?" the Second Elder asked.
Because the second elder needs to suppress the injury, he basically doesn't care about the affairs of the Hunter Guild, and it is normal to retreat for a few months from time to time. As a result, the Second Elder hadn't even heard of the Death March.
Subsequently, the four elders briefly talked about the events before and after the death march, as well as the matter of Jian Xiaozhi.
"I knew back then that Purple Fire would not be so easily annihilated, and I never imagined that they would make a comeback more than twenty years later. The second elder narrowed his eyes, paused, and said, "But that kid is related to the Sword Pavilion, and it seems that the Sword Pavilion is also starting to be restless now." ”
"Yes!" replied the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder in unison.
"After many years of calm, troubled times are coming. The Second Elder suddenly left this sentence, and then returned to his place of recuperation and retreat.
In troubled times, it has not stopped since the appearance of mutant beasts.
Now that it was spit out from the mouth of the second elder, the third elder and the fourth elder had to pay attention to it.
The second elder is right, it has been fifteen years since the assassination of 'Silence' by Yixiu back then. It's almost starting to get buzzing now.
In the jungle, Jian Xiaozhi took care of Qinglan while recovering from his injuries.
"By the way, Qinglan, what are your plans for the future?" Jian Xiaozhi suddenly asked.
"I, I don't know. Qinglan sighed and said that she had been staying in Chenghe Town for twenty years, and she had always wanted to leave Chenghe Town to break outside.
But I don't know why I have the opportunity to leave now, but I have a kind of heart palpitations and dare not leave.
Seeing Qinglan's hesitation, Jian Xiaozhi asked, "Are you worried about Qinghua?" If it is you, you should go out for a walk, or maybe you can find her. ”
Qinglan glanced up at Jian Xiaozhi and said, "Is my sister dead?" ”
"Uh, how could it be. Jian Xiaozhi said calmly.
"I understand, thank you for your kindness. Qinglan smiled bitterly, and then the whole person became cold.
Coupled with her silver hair, her cold face is like a witch, which makes people feel frightened.
"Qinglan, are you okay. Jian Xiaozhi couldn't help but speak in the end.
"I decided, I was leaving. Qinglan said resolutely: "Since Zihuo is the murderer of my sister, then I will destroy it with my own hands." ”
Jian Xiaozhi wanted to reach out and keep Qinglan, but she said: "You originally walked differently than me, let's meet again." ”
