Demon Hunter
By evening, the forest leading to the crater had gradually become quiet.
But this rare peace was broken by a rhythmic rumbling sound.
Xia Li rode on Xiaoguai's back, and the man and the beast seemed to be one. They rushed into the forest like an arrow, jumped over the stream, and crossed the mountain, until a roll of dead leaves and mud was raised behind them. Xia Li then pulled the reins in her hand, and Xiaoguai stopped, stopping in front of the valley.
Without the dragon-shaped crater, the canyon was peaceful and the sky above was as blue as a mirror, completely devoid of the suffocating feeling of the dark clouds overhead.
Xia Li jumped off Xiaoguai's back and walked forward while collecting information related to the lifting of the seal.
In her previous life, she did not take on this task. She only heard from others that it was related to the demons on the other side of the sea. Therefore, Xia Li became more cautious and paid attention to whether there were any demon items left nearby.
When they were almost at the bottom of the valley, Xia Li indeed discovered an unusual trace.
The green liquid was spilled on the green leaves and it was impossible to see it without careful observation.
She tore off a leaf stained with liquid and used identification.
[An ordinary leaf tainted by demonic blood]
It turned out to be the demons, they had been here.
Recalling the tense relationship between humans and demons in the previous life, Xia Li initially concluded that the demons had sent people to lift the seal on the dragon, intending to use the dragon to destroy the royal city and the Xia continent in one fell swoop.
He rode Xiaoguai again and prepared to return to the royal city with the leaf.
Suddenly, a weak air current blew towards me from the bottom of the valley. The air current was so light that even the flowers and plants under my feet did not move.
But she still captured it keenly.
This valley is sunken and surrounded by tall mountains. Unless there is a hurricane, there will be little airflow, let alone a weak airflow.
So where does the wind come from?
The next second, Xia Li's alarm bells rang in her heart, and before she realized that something was falling on her head, she quickly pulled Xiaoguai to the side to hide!
Snap!
A small stone fell exactly where she had been standing.
There are people on the mountain.
Xia Li immediately raised her head, and sure enough, she saw a black figure retreating from the edge of the cliff.
"Little darling, come on!"
The lava beast Xiaoguai grew up on the stone wall next to the lava, so climbing is a piece of cake for it.
Xiaoguai received the order and grabbed the mountain wall with his four claws. His strong muscles drove his body. Xia Li sat steadily on his back and rushed to the place where the black shadow was just now like the wind.
The altitude of the top of the mountain is much higher than that of the royal city, and even higher than the endless abyss. After Xiaoguai climbed up, he seemed not to be used to this height and just lay on the ground and didn't want to move forward.
Xia Li patted its head and said, "Little cutie, look what this is?"
Throw it some of its favorite pork ribs.
The other party remained indifferent.
She had no choice but to put Xiaoguai back into the system and choose to sneak alone.
The footprints on the ground ahead were larger and slightly deeper than those of an average human male, extending all the way to the mountains ahead.
Xia Li lowered her breathing and pace and followed closely.
The system showed that her current location was [Nigar Highlands]. Although she had never been there in her previous life, she still remembered the maps of various areas under the Xia continent very clearly.
If you cross the Nigar Highlands, you will reach the Evil Tooth Coast. Across the coast is the Saye Continent where the demons live.
We must catch that dark figure before he leaves the shore!
Xia Li drank a purple agility potion and quickened her pace.
Purple medicine increases the user's agility by 12%-16%, with a maximum time limit of 45 seconds.
It took a while, not too long, but fortunately, the demons were generally not very fast. Xia Li only hoped to catch up with them before the potion's effect wore off.
The bushes on both sides whizzed back like a movie reel. After a while, Xia Li crossed the Nigar Highlands and came directly to the Evil Tooth Coast.
A small sailboat was docked at the shore, and Xia Li saw the slender black figure on the boat at a glance.
She is now more than 3 meters away from the sailboat, and the green mist skill can't hit the opponent at all. As for the poisonous bee... maybe there is a chance.
Then she clenched her hands into fists and threw them forward quickly. Poisonous bees swarmed from behind her and headed straight for the people on the small sailboat.
At the same time, she continued to chase forward, intending to give the opponent a green mist when the distance was close to 3 meters.
Whoosh whoosh!
Three arrows suddenly flew towards her.
Xia Li quickly rolled to the beach nearby, barely avoiding the three black arrows.
The opponent used the innate skill that only the Demon Hunter, a branch of the Demon race, can use - Cursed Arrow.
Demon Hunters are famous throughout the Miracle for their extremely superb archery skills. Unless necessary, humans on the Xia continent should not provoke them.
Xia Li gritted her teeth. She had chased him all the way here, so there was no reason for her to give up.
The distance between the two of them was further shortened after she jumped up and sprinted on the spot. She aimed at the opportunity, raised her hand and threw out two balls of green mist.
However, whether it was the poisonous bees before or the green mist now, the witcher did not seem to be afraid of her skills. Instead, he stood on the deck and had no intention of hiding at all.
Despite being besieged by poisonous bees and corroded by the green mist, the demon hunter's health bar showed no signs of decreasing.
There are usually only two situations in which you cannot deal damage. Either the opponent's equipment is too powerful, or the opponent's level is too high, causing a crushing defeat that she cannot resist at all.
She had just made a quick observation and found that the opponent's equipment was not bad. He had the leather armor and leather boots that demon hunters often wore, but these alone were not enough to block her attack.
So there could only be one possible situation right now - the other party's level was much higher than hers.
She used to be able to deal high damage or critical hits when she went into dungeons or fought dragons at higher levels, but she couldn't even hit the demon hunter in front of her with a single drop of blood.
They are at least level 50 and above!
Xia Li suddenly felt a heavy sense of oppression, which was a warning brought to her by the gap in level.
But are we just going to let him go like this?
Wouldn’t the sealing mission have failed?
Xia Li thought about it, gritted her teeth, turned around and ran towards Nigar Heights.
When she was halfway through her run, she glanced back secretly. The demon hunter didn't seem interested in her. After seeing her escape, he controlled the sailboat and prepared to return to the Saye Continent.
The first step of the plan succeeded.
Xia Li breathed a sigh of relief, then stopped and took out the transformation card she had taken from Leng Bingshuang before. She wrote the word "fish" on the card with her finger and then quickly tore it in half.
The card immediately turned into fragments of light, surrounding her.
Looking again, Xia Li found that everything around her was several times bigger.
She turned into a fish.
The reason this sea is called the Deviltooth Sea is because there is a very ferocious fish in the sea called the Deviltooth Fish. All creatures in the sea are its prey, and it can be said to be the most domineering species in this area.
When Xia Li transformed into a fish, she prayed that she would not run into them.
However, what you think usually comes true.
Xia Li, who had transformed into a fish and was following the small sailboat, suddenly realized that a huge creature was following her.
Not only did it catch up, it also opened its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth!
Xia Li turned around hurriedly, leaving the bite empty.
The gray-white eyeballs of the evil-toothed fish turned, and finally turned in her direction, opened its mouth again, and pounced on her.
Unfortunately, after the transformation, she couldn't use any skills, and all her defenses were reset to zero. Xia Li had no choice but to swim frantically in the water with tears in her eyes, praying that she would not die here.
Phew!
Something sharp suddenly fell into the water!
Xia Li looked back and saw a black arrow flying straight down, piercing the body of the evil-toothed fish accurately.
I was suddenly shocked. The demon hunter's archery skills were indeed amazing.
Fortunately, the other party did not notice her, but only noticed the existence of the evil-toothed fish, so he only shot one arrow and hit the evil-toothed fish that was following her all the way.
The danger was over, and her nervousness finally subsided. Xia Li controlled her tail and fins, twisting her body and continuing to swim under the deck, neither too close nor too far.
