Chapter 54: Dragon Hunter – Ms. Xinyu Zhang
In the middle of the river, in a sparsely wooded area, several Wild Plains Lions lay by the water, occasionally looking up and walking along the small river, occasionally growling at the downstream.
“I wondered why I couldn’t find that person… so they swam from the river to my territory. From a distance, that beast must have hit them, so they shouldn’t have gone far.”
“Fortunately, I found that deer’s tracks on the way, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to report back.”
The Dragon Hunter from before looked grimly at a pager-like communication device. On it was a text message: [If you don’t find the murderer, you will take your own life. Know that it is the offspring of the Priest’s pet.] Sender ID: Priest.
Below it was the text he typed himself: [Found deer tracks. For some reason, the target came near Qinghai.]
Priest: [Communicating with the Priest. Awaiting further instructions.]
“Damn it, what right does a messenger of my level have to be so arrogant?!” he was about to hang up with a curse.
“Beep beep!”
Priest: [Dispatched nearby monsters to attack humans. The moment the deer appears, Chen Feng, you will act immediately.]
Chen Feng’s expression grew even uglier. He slowly typed: [That deer is Battle King Level. You originally only tasked me with finding the Chuixian Sword Technique.]
“Beep beep beep!”
Priest: [It is nearing its end and dares not use too much strength. Your Master’s alchemical tools are enough to trap it, and the Master’s pet will arrive afterward.]
[Anyone encountered must be killed, and the Ancient God Sect’s location cannot be exposed. If there is a mistake, your entire family will be sacrificed to appease the God.]
Looking at the message, Chen Feng clenched his phone tightly, his knuckles cracking. He looked at the Wild Plains Lions growling behind him and punched one of them. “Bang!” The splattering blood splashed onto his face, adding a touch of ferocity.
“Ancient God Sect, truly a bunch of beasts…”
He then glanced at the startled Wild Plains Lions beside him, his expression grim as he walked downstream along the river. Not far away, thousands of meters away, was the direction of Su Jiu and the others.
…
After dealing with the wolf pack, the group continued south along the main road towards Qinghai, which was still some distance away. Everyone was grateful to be alive, and there was a lot more cheerful atmosphere along the way.
Su Jiu playfully tossed a thumb-sized Magic Crystal in her hand. This was a drop from the Wolf King’s defeat. No one would contend for it; not only were they disciples of wealthy and influential families, but Su Jiu had also saved them.
She played with it for a while and then put it into the pocket of E Huo. Once E Huo woke up and ate this, she would also be able to possess a Beast Weapon.
“Miss Jiusu, you were so cool! You scared away the wolf pack.” A fangirl, Xiao You, joined her.
“Don’t say that. This was everyone’s contribution.”
Su Jiu looked at her and smiled helplessly. This kind of girl was straightforward, but easy to get along with.
Lin Ling, standing beside them, shook her head. She looked at Su Jiu with an exceptionally serious expression, took out a badge of a bellflower woven with a red ribbon from her pocket, handed it over, and said in a low voice, “You saved A Dun, and even more so, you brought all of us out of danger. This is undeniable. Take this badge.”
“Intermediate Medicine Badge? Ling, this is the pass your old man directly gave you to enter the Medical School of Magical Capital University. It’s proof that you saved ten thousand people!” Xiao You was stunned when she saw the badge, speaking dryly.
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu wanted to wave her hand and refuse directly, but the other party directly put it into the pocket beside her and said solemnly, “Don’t refuse. You deserve this honor… Besides, I don’t need these shortcuts to get into Magical Capital University. It should be given as an honor to those who saved us.”
Su Jiu wanted to say more, but seeing the stubborn look in her eyes, she could only accept it reluctantly. Her personality was exactly the same as A Dun’s.
At this moment, everyone sincerely praised her, as if she were a hero. When they met again, those people would say with gratitude mixed with a hint of respect, “Miss Jiusu.”
It wasn’t that they were respectful; it was that Su Jiu’s charged attack was too powerful, leaving them deeply shocked. After careful consideration,
This was incredible!
Using a healing bloodline to unleash this kind of AoE skill that only War Generals possess, wasn’t this a definite genius? They suspected that she might even rival the monstrous talents of provincial capital cities.
In the history of the Dragon Country, there had been all sorts of geniuses, and their skills were created by them. Through diffusion by their sides, these skills also became versatile, but… more often, these skills were unique.
Just like Su Jiu modifying Qingmian Technique into Ice Storm Technique, ordinary people couldn’t achieve this. Even with wood and ice elemental bloodlines, it wasn’t easy to achieve.
“Stop! Everyone set up camp individually…”
Seeing that it was getting dark, Lin Ling, Xiao Yu was about to order everyone to rest and set up camp, when suddenly a black figure appeared in the distant forest. Her pupils contracted sharply. Someone had approached them silently, and she quickly changed her tone and shouted loudly, “Someone is approaching! Everyone pay attention!”
The students immediately became nervous and looked in Xiao Yu’s direction. It was a moving figure, appearing to be quite tall.
Su Jiu didn’t think much of it. She didn’t feel any malice from the figure, but the bronze badge on her made her a little curious. Looking at the familiar pattern, she murmured softly, “Tsk, Dragon Hunter…”
She should just be an Advanced Stage Warrior. Even if she were “Jiusu” now, she could still crush her with Ice Storm Technique, right?
“Dragon Hunter?”
Xiao You, beside her, blinked and turned to look. As the figure gradually appeared before them, it was a girl with golden wavy curls, holding a phone that emitted a faint glow.
“It’s my elder sister. After graduating from university, she worked as a security guard in Huayang. Recently, she returned home and joined the Dragon Hunters.”
A hint of joy instantly appeared on Xiao You’s face. After a brief explanation, she walked towards the figure under the confused gazes of everyone, shouting, “Elder sister!”
Only then did everyone notice the girl’s face. She was one of their instructors, but why was she here?
Su Jiu frowned slightly. She had seen this person before. Wasn’t she the subordinate who was always looking for her father like she was looking for a cat? She had even treated her to stinky tofu.
The girl hugged the petite Xiao You, affectionately patting her head. Then she turned her head up, her expression quite serious, and said, “Monster riot, the training camp is canceled. I’m here to pick you up. Exorcists and Enforcers from other schools in our city are also here to escort them.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu frowned and stepped forward, asking, “Sister Zhang, have you received any news as to why? Those monster hordes have appeared, and we were even attacked by the Crimson Flame Wolf King!”
“It’s highly likely that this disaster was caused by human hands. As for who… it’s very possible it’s the Ancient God Sect. Their bishop is about to be sentenced to death by the Supreme Court, and they’re starting to get restless.”
“Several cities in our area are experiencing varying degrees of monster-induced damage. They are likely planning a major move here, and reinforcements have already been dispatched.”
After mentioning the Ancient God Sect, Zhang Xinyu’s expression became exceptionally grim. However, she quickly scanned everyone and asked puzzledly, “You said you encountered a Wolf King, how is it that no one is injured?”
“Thanks to this Miss Jiusu.” Xiao Yu smiled, moved aside, and brought the young woman to Su Jiu’s side.
“She controlled the Wolf King and helped us repel the wolf pack.”
Zhang Xinyu looked closely and then felt that someone looked familiar. The figure of the person her Mayor father always compared to his sister appeared in her mind.
“Jiusu…”
But she quickly shook her head and denied it. She knew how difficult it was to speak against her conscience every time. Could this girl who repelled the wolf pack be that person?
If it were that Mayor Su’s daughter, she would have likely died countless times already.
Thinking of her terrible reputation, she couldn’t help but want to fly into a rage, grinding her teeth.
How hateful! Fortunately, she left early, otherwise she would have encountered that scoundrel.
