Chapter 55: Because of Love
Sure enough, just after Zhong Pingdao's front foot left, the disciple who came to inform the news arrived on his back foot. For these, Lin Xiu seemed quite helpless, resigned himself to his fate, and he had to bow his head under the eaves.
Following that disciple, Lin Xiu soon came to the forest behind the Sea of Fire Refining, the Black Flame Forest. The surrounding area is black and oppressive, full of trees, and you can't see the edge.
As soon as he entered the Black Flame Forest, a sense of depression began to envelop Lin Xiu, and the unknown trees around him soared upward, and the branches and vines grew luxuriantly, and the branches could be seen everywhere. And in this forest, there are faint strange cries, which sound like some wild beasts, and they are infiltrating.
Weird, this is the first thought in Lin Xiu's heart, although this forest doesn't know how big the road is, but it is extremely weird, people can't help but tremble, no wonder the Holy Moon let himself here, this is indeed a good place to bury bones.
Continuing to walk forward, his vision brightened a little, and then, in a relatively empty place, Lin Xiu saw the team carrying out the demon hunting mission.
There are not many members of this demon hunting team, there are almost thirteen or fourteen, there is no doubt that these are the best among the outer disciples, and their strength is above the six-star martial apprentice.
Some of them gathered together in groups of three or two, drinking the wine in the jug in their hands, chatting, and some of them were in a remote corner, patiently wiping the weapons in their hands, and some simply leaned under a tree and closed their eyes to rest.
They didn't seem to react to Lin Xiu's arrival, and continued the activity at hand, what should they do, they didn't even have the simplest look, they directly treated him as air and ignored him, which also made the disciples who accompanied him embarrassed.
"Let me tell you one thing, it has been decided from above that this person next to me, Lin Xiu, will officially become a member of your demon hunting team from now on. โ
That disciple also knew where his position was, smiled apologetically at Lin Xiu, and then began to speak to everyone.
As soon as these words came out, the whole world was quiet, this space seemed to be stagnant, and they were talking about it, and suddenly stopped their open mouth, just like that, wiping their weapons, the cloth in their hands just touched the sword, and they didn't move, even the people who closed their eyes and recuperated quietly opened their eyes, and they looked at Lin Xiu in a daze, as if they were stunned by something.
In an instant, the surprise in the group vanished, replaced by the undisguised disdain in their eyes. Obviously, they didn't welcome this kid who seemed to have only the strength of a four-star martial artist.
Lin Xiu, who was standing next to that disciple, had carefully observed this group of people from the beginning, and their reactions before and after all fell into Lin Xiu's eyes.
In this group of people, Lin Xiu found a few familiar figures, they were the people he and Fu Huang met in the Sea of Refining Fire last time, including Luo Qiang, who had clashed with him before, and the man who made him feel a sense of crisis.
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Xiu, and I am a martial artist with four-star strength. โ
Glancing at everyone again, Lin Xiu took a step forward and then spoke. Instead of letting them talk about this and that, it is better to say it directly, don't they just doubt their own strength? Then it would be good to admit it generously, it is gold that always shines, not to mention that their purity is still so high.
Everyone didn't seem to expect that the person in front of them would be so frank, and the disdain in their eyes gradually decreased, of course, this did not include Luo Qiang and the person who gave Lin Xiu a sense of crisis.
Luo Qiang's face did not have a look of disdain, but those big eyes were burning with a strong fighting intent, as the only person in this team who had fought with Lin Xiu, of course he would not be deceived by Lin Xiu's strength on the surface, at this time, in addition to doubts and caution in his heart, what remained was the urge to fight again, last time, although Lin Xiu was hit hard, but he also paid a lot of price, not to mention, he had a gap of several levels with him, he didn't believe that after so many days, Lin Xiu's strength would not grow, but it seemed that he was more confident in himselfใ
And in addition to Luo Qiang, there is another person in the team, that person is the person who closed his eyes under the tree before, this person looks extremely ordinary, and can even be described as ugly, with thick eyebrows and a sloping nose, and a mouth like a ravine, at this time he looked at Lin Xiu with a calm face, and he couldn't see any contempt or other feelings in his eyes, his expression was wooden, like a puppet without feeling.
However, Lin Xiu inadvertently glanced at him, but once he found some clues, that is, the distance between the people around him and the man, not so much because he did it himself, but because everyone deliberately distanced themselves from him, and when everyone's eyes swept past him, there was always a trace of jealousy in their eyes.
When Lin Xiu observed everyone, they also seemed to be looking at Lin Xiu, on the surface, they were a little disdainful of Lin Xiu, but for this group of elite monkey-like people, they would not think that the upper echelons would let a person with such a strength level come in for no reason.
Either there is a background, or there are hole cards, of course, it is more likely that the person in front of you has offended some people, because for an ordinary four-star martial arts strength person, the demon hunting team is equivalent to a burial field, and they are more inclined to the latter in their hearts, as for the possibility of having hole cards, they have long been ignored.
After the surprise and contempt, everyone returned to their original appearance, and those who should be talking about the world are still trying to blow over the cowhide, and those who should be close to the sword are still affectionate, wanting to wear this sword. In short, everything is back to the way it was.
"Hello, I'm the captain of the Demon Hunting Team, Han Shao, and I welcome you to join on behalf of the Demon Hunting Team. โ
A man who looked very strong stood up at this moment, patted the dust under his buttocks, and walked towards Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu then turned his attention to this person, this person had been turning his back and discussing something with a few people before, so Lin Xiu didn't notice it, and at this time he noticed that there were three shining little stars hanging on the other party's chest. "Three-star samurai!!" Lin Xiu said in surprise in his heart.
"Hello, Captain Han. โ
Fortunately, Lin Xiu quickly adjusted, stretched out his palm and shook hands with Han Shao who came.
Looking closely, Lin Xiu found that there was a clearly visible scar on the side of this person's face, and combined with the other party's strong figure, it highlighted a fierce aura. "Ha Luha, since you have entered this demon hunting team, it is a family, they are like that, you don't have to pay attention to it. With a smile, Han Zhen pointed to the person next to him and said. Although he is the captain and has the first voice in the team, he is obviously too lazy to pay attention to these small things on weekdays, or this is also a strategy of his, after all, people don't like to be restrained, so he doesn't care about their posture at this time. "It doesn't matter, masters tend to have some tempers. Lin Xiu didn't care a lot, and after glancing at everyone, he said a little helplessly. Don't think that you have a slight advantage among the outer disciples, so you can be called a master. After you enter the inner gate, you will know what it means to have people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky!" Without concealing his disdain, this Captain Han did not hesitate to scold his own scolding scriptures, and began to count them. Between the words and the falls, there is a fierce atmosphere. "But I'm personally a little curious, how did the strength of your four-star martial artist come here? It seems that he also found that he was a little too violent in front of a new member, so he changed the topic again and asked the doubts in his heart.
