The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Chapter 227 Dusk Forest

The Muye Forest is the largest forest in Tianfang, occupying one-third of the country's land area. Xiao Zhu, a native of Tianfang, has heard of this famous forest since he was a child. Many trees in the Muye Forest have grown for thousands of years, with lush branches and leaves that block out the sun. Even if you enter it during the day, it feels like dusk or night, hence the name "Muye".

There are more than thousands of different kinds of plants and animals in the Mu Ye Forest. There is also a big river flowing out of the forest, which once nurtured millions of people in the Kingdom of Arabia.

However, after the Warcraft disaster a thousand years ago, the Dusk Forest was completely occupied by Warcraft, including some beast king-level Warcraft. Not to mention ordinary people, even highly skilled demon hunters dare not easily go deep into it.

Since then, the Dusk Forest has changed from a vibrant place to a cruel and dangerous place. But as the saying goes, "All the people in the world come for profit, and all the people in the world go for profit." The more powerful the monster, the higher its value. Therefore, many monster hunters risk their lives to enter the Dusk Forest in order to hunt monsters for crystal cores and other precious items. They often travel in groups and only dare to move around the outskirts of the Dusk Forest, but this is still as dangerous as dancing on the edge of a knife.

Li Zhenchao and others are one of the demon hunter teams active on the outskirts of the Dusk Forest.

"Adou, block the retreat of the Golden Bull!"

"Cousin, be careful of the golden bull's horns. If you get hit by it, your scales won't be able to protect you."

"Uncle Fei, attack the bull's head, don't hurt its body. The hide of the golden fighting bull is the most valuable!"

Li Zhenchao and his four companions were working together to hunt a magical beast named Golden Fighting Bull. This was a fourth-level magical beast, and its leather was an excellent material for making protective gear. Li Zhenchao's team encountered this magical beast as soon as they entered the forest. They were extremely lucky, so they immediately started hunting it.

Their team was very strong, with Li Zhenchao and Fatty being spirit hunters, and the other two being high-level demon hunters. If Li Zhenchao hadn't lost everything in a gambling accident, they wouldn't have chosen to take risks in the Dusk Forest.

At this time, the golden fighting bull also realized the danger. It lowered its head and charged towards Adou who was standing in front of it.

"Boom! Boom!" The impact force of the golden fighting bull was very strong, and the trees along the way were knocked down. But just when it was about to hit Adou, Adou suddenly threw out a metal steel ring, which fit perfectly on the neck of the golden fighting bull.

Adou held a rein made of vine magic in his hand, one end of which was tied to a metal steel ring. Adou pulled the reins hard, and then quickly jumped onto the broad back of the golden bull.

"Good job! Adou!" Li Zhenchao praised.

The four of them had been working together for a long time and had already developed a perfect understanding. The moment Adou jumped onto the back of the golden bull, the man called cousin threw out two ropes, which were respectively wrapped around the two thickest hind legs of the golden bull, restricting his movement.

Li Zhenchao and Fat Uncle were the main attackers, attacking the Golden Fighting Bull from the left and right. Each of them held a black dagger in his hand, with a cold light flashing on the surface, and stabbed it towards the neck of the Golden Fighting Bull.

"Puchi!" The sounds of the two daggers piercing the flesh merged into one, and a stream of bright red blood spurted out from the neck of the golden fighting bull.

The golden fighting bull wanted to roar, but with its throat cut, it could only make a low "woooo" sound. Its huge body rolled on the ground in pain, crushing a group of trees to the ground.

The four experienced demon hunters quickly moved away from the Golden Fighting Bull. They were waiting for the last bit of the demon beast's strength to be completely exhausted so as not to be accidentally injured by its dying struggle.

"The hide and crystal core of this golden fighting bull are both very valuable items. Each is worth no less than two thousand silver coins! Oh, and there are also this pair of bull horns. They should be able to be made into two good daggers."

"Yes, after we finish this job, we can take a break for a year or so."

"Leave as soon as you're done! I really don't want to come back to this damn place again."

"Humph! Don't want to come again? You said the same thing last time. You still can't control your hands. You always gamble away all the money I give you within a month. Who can you blame?"

The three people watched the Golden Bullfighting from a distance while discussing the next plans.

Gradually, the golden bull lost its last vitality and fell to the ground with a loud "boom". The four people immediately rushed towards the body of the golden bull. They began to cut up the body of the golden bull neatly, putting the most valuable animal skin, crystal core, and horn into the storage jade bracelet, and discarded the other worthless parts.

Just as the three were about to finish dealing with the huge corpse, Fatty suddenly turned his head and stared at the sky behind him with a vigilant look on his face, "Did you hear any sound?"

Adou shook his head: "No! Are you hallucinating?"

Uncle Fat frowned and looked at the three people one by one with concern, but the three of them shook their heads to indicate that they didn't hear anything.

"It will be done soon. Hurry up and work. Finish it early and leave here early." Li Zhenchao said.

Uncle Fat scratched his head in confusion, then turned his attention back to decomposing the body of the Golden Fighting Bull.

But at this moment, the "buzzing" sound appeared again, and it was quickly coming closer and closer. This time, not only Uncle Fat heard it, but the other three also heard it clearly.

"Oh my God! What is that?" Adou pointed at the sky in the distance and shouted in horror.

"Run! Run!" Uncle Fatty immediately stopped what he was doing and ran away. The other three looked at the corpse of the golden bull that was about to be disposed of, and their eyes showed reluctance.

But the hesitation time wasted, and it was too late for the three to escape. In the distance, there was a loud "buzzing" sound, and a black shadow that covered the sky and the sun fell from the sky. They were instantly covered by the shadow, and after a moment, the shadow flew away from the ground again. The body of the golden bull and the three people on the ground disappeared without a trace.

The fat uncle who escaped the disaster ran towards the outskirts of the Dusk Forest with all his might. While running, he was alert to the monsters that might appear around him. When he was about to rush out of the edge of the Dusk Forest, his right foot was suddenly entangled by the vines of a giant tree. The fat uncle thought something was wrong and immediately took out a dagger to cut the vines.

Just when he cut the vines and wanted to escape again, a small flower bud behind him suddenly blossomed and grew into a huge flower. The flower swallowed up Fatty Uncle in one gulp like a ferocious beast, and then shrank back into the bud again.

The fat uncle in the flower bud struggled and twisted for a few times, and then there was no movement.
