Chapter 584: The True Face of the Demon Beast
The white shadow shuttling through the dense forest stopped again.
An Xiangyan pointed her toes on the soft branches, and her body rose and fell slightly with the swing of the branches.
"How's that, can you still feel it?"
Lei Li saw An Xiangyan open her eyes and asked hurriedly.
Nodding her head, An Xiangyan said, "It's close, just ahead, and the target hasn't moved." ”
"That's great!" said Lei Li with a delightful smile.
Yang Ran on the side, but he couldn't laugh, he looked back at the way he came, and the shock in his heart made it difficult for him to calm down.
"Is it Heung-yeon's ability that is powerful, or is that target's energy strong?"
Yang Ran couldn't help but stand up as soon as he thought of them advancing at full speed for nearly half an hour.
At their speed, how much they had advanced in half an hour, the exact number is unknown, but it was definitely a surprising distance.
However, even so, it is even more surprising that it still does not reach the target location!
The four of them advanced again, and in about a quarter of an hour, they finally reached their destination.
The bright night sky, the moonlight sprinkled on a young man's body, and the plants swaying in the wind around him, dancing the peace and tranquility of the night.
An Xiangyan and the four of them found a young man sitting upright with his eyes closed on a rock ten meters away.
The boy's first impression was that of a nobleman who had been lost here.
"Is that him?"
Lei Li's eyes widened, unable to connect the young man in front of her with the person who was fighting against the "Eight-Step Hades".
It's not so much that this boy doesn't look like a master, but rather that he gives people a feeling of immaturity.
"There doesn't seem to be anyone else here!"
Yang Ran looked around for a moment, to be honest, he couldn't believe that the person who held the "Octagon Decree" was this harmless-looking teenager.
An Xiangyan, who was standing at the front of several people, frowned and said, "There will be no mistake, it's him!"
It's just that there is one thing that makes her unable to think through, and she can still feel the energy fluctuations of the teenager when she is far away. Why has this volatility weakened in recent times?
"What is he doing now?" Zhu Ning asked a crucial question.
Only then did a few people realize that since they appeared here, the boy had not moved, and he couldn't even feel his breath!
"No...... Won't you hang up, could it be that after the battle with the predecessor of the 'Eight-Step Hades' that day, she was seriously injured and died?"
The others were not talking, but were watching the motionless teenager intently.
What Lei Li is not good at is observing, and that kind of troublesome thing does not suit her personality, after a short silence. She finally couldn't hold it anymore and said, "Instead of looking here, I'll go over and take a look." ”
The others still didn't speak, but it should be regarded as acquiescing to Lei Li's proposal.
Lei Li walked over, and didn't forget to say hello: "Hello, we came here to discuss something with you, you shouldn't be asleep, right?"
The distance between her and the teenager was getting closer, and the closer she got, the more nervous Lei Li became.
Seven, six, five......
Lei Li was about to walk in front of the boy. Not only was she nervous, but even the other companions who were watching held their breath.
"That...... You're alright!"
Lei Li stretched out her hand, ready to touch the boy.
And at this very moment. The young man who was sitting upright suddenly opened his eyes.
Those strange and sharp eyes startled Lei Li, and she reacted instinctively. Lei Li jumped out again at once.
"Explain your intentions, don't waste my time!"
Although Dongfang Xiuzhe's voice was flat, his gaze was like a sharp knife. Swept over the four.
It's not that he's angry because he's being disturbed, it's that he's wary of the four.
You must know that not long after he got the "Xingluo Notes", four masters with good strength appeared inexplicably, and this alone is enough to make people suspicious.
Lei Li blinked, she didn't know what to say, and looked back at An Xiangyan.
At this time, An Xiangyan also walked over and said straight to the point: "May I ask Your Excellency, did you get the eight-way decree from the predecessor of the 'Eight-Step Hades'?"
Hearing the other party ask like this, Dongfang Xiuzhe suddenly thought that the old man he met that day seemed to be the self-proclaimed "Eight-Step Hades", and the strange token he gave himself seemed to be called the "Bafang Judgment", could it be that they were here for this?
Dongfang Xiuzhe still remembered that when the "Eight-Step Yama King" left, he said that there would be special people to come to him and inform him of the relevant matters of the Bafang Decree, could it be that these four people were what the old man said?
These thoughts flashed in his heart, Dongfang Xiuzhe stood up, flipped his wrist, and took out the piece of Bafang Judgment: "What are you talking about?"
Seeing the "Octagon Judgment", Rao is four people were mentally prepared, but their faces changed.
They were now 100% sure that the young man in front of them was the person they were looking for!
"That's right, this is the 'Eight-Direction Judgment'!" An Xiangyan said again, "I wonder if Your Excellency has heard the predecessor of the 'Eight-Step Hades' introduce this token?"
"The old man was so weird that he shoehorned this thing into me and left without saying anything. Dongfang Xiuzhe said with some complaints.
He hates the feeling of not being able to solve the mystery the most, which will affect his mood, not to mention, and make him unable to concentrate on other things.
An Xiangyan's brows furrowed again, this young man dared to call him an old man after learning the identity of the "Eight-Step Hades", it was really courageous.
"Anyway, you're here to explain to me the usefulness of this thing!" Dongfang Xiuzhe smiled lightly, tossed the token in his hand twice, and then continued, "I don't know how to refine this thing, it seems to be quite strong." ”
Hearing this, several people sweated.
An Xiangyan took a deep breath and continued: "The only person who holds the 'Eight-Way Decree' is the Guardian Envoy, since the predecessor of the 'Eight-Step Hades' gave you the token, you are the pending candidate for the Guardian Envoy......"
After the introduction of the other party, Dongfang Xiuzhe understood that this "Eight Directions Judgment" seemed to be some kind of token, just like the Lingzong seal of the Lingyun Sect.
"On the order of the 'Eight Steps of Blood', we have come to invite Your Excellency to the Hunters' Association. Someone will explain you in more detail. Ahn Xiangyan explained her intentions.
"It's too troublesome, you even have to go to the Hunters Association!" Dongfang Xiuzhe pouted, he was also a person who hated trouble.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be resistant, An Xiangyan hurriedly said: "Although you now hold the 'Eight-Party Decree', you can't become a Guardian Envoy or exercise the power of the Eight-Step Decree without passing the assessment of other guardian envoys. Go to the Hunters' Guild, 'Eight Steps of Blood' wants to meet you!"
"Why do you want to go to the Hunters Association, could it be that the 'Eight Steps of Blood' in your mouth is waiting for me in the Hunters Association?" Dongfang Xiuzhe asked curiously.
Shaking her head, An Xiangyan said: "There are still important things to do in the 'Eight Steps of Blood'. It may be a few days before the mercenary association is felt. ”
"I don't have that spare time, if he wants to see me, let him come to me in person!"
Hearing that he had actually let himself go to the Hunters Association to wait, Dongfang Xiuzhe immediately became displeased.
You know, from the beginning, he didn't want to be a guardian.
Dongfang Xiuzhe is not the kind of person who has a strong sense of justice and maintains world peace, the only people he wants to protect are his relatives, friends, and subordinates......
Ahn Xiangyan didn't expect the other party to say this. I was about to say something, and at this moment, in the distance to the west, a faint pillar of light. Soaring into the sky.
"It's finally here, I've been waiting for a long time!"
Seeing this pillar of light, Dongfang Xiuzhe's whole person suddenly became excited, and he didn't even say hello. Straight in the direction of the pillar of light.
An Xiangyan and the four of them were taken aback, they didn't expect the young man to come to this hand, they were all a little surprised.
"Follow him. Otherwise, it won't be so easy to find it again. ”
An Xiangyan hurriedly shouted, she already felt that the young man would not go to the Hunters' Association by himself.
He didn't even care about the "Eight-Step Hades", how could he care about the "Eight-Step Bloodbath".
"Understood, leave it to me!"
Yang Ran was the first to move, among the four, his body style was the most outstanding, and it was also what he was best at.
However, in less than a minute, he came back in disgrace.
Facing the puzzled gaze of his companion, he said helplessly: "I lost it." ”......
Sima Xinxia and the master of Ouchi, who protected her safety, had been in the "Heavenly Forest" for a few days, but in addition to encountering several waves of thieves who intended to rob, they had not even encountered an ordinary bounty hunter, let alone those four top bounty hunters.
However, Sima Xinxia did not find it boring, she had harvested a lot of precious herbs in the past few days, and if she could, she would like to go deeper into the forest, because there would be more precious herbs there.
"It's been a long time since I've personally picked medicine, and this feeling is still so intoxicating!"
Sima Xinxia pulled down a "blood grass" on the ground with a smile on her face.
"Well, the light has reappeared, and ...... It's so close!"
Just as she stood up, a pillar of light caught her attention.
Not only her, but everyone else was also attracted to attention.
When they first entered the "Heavenly Forest", they had seen this pillar of light, but it was too far away to know what was shining.
However, this pillar of light seems to be coming from a few miles away, and if you rush over, you will definitely be able to unravel the mystery.
After discussing the Nine Cities with the Praetorian Guards, they finally decided to go to that place to see what was going on.
After all, the four bounty hunters you are looking for are likely to be attracted by the pillar of light.
I have to say that Sima Xinxia and her party are lucky, because in the entire "Heavenly Forest", I don't know how many people want to witness the true face of the pillar of light, but they don't have the opportunity.
As they were cautiously moving in that direction, a white shadow glowing with a bright light leaped over the heads of the crowd.
"Good...... It's beautiful!"
Sima Xinxia, who caught the shadow, was stunned on the spot. (To be continued......)
