The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Chapter 106 Xia Shi is missing

After Murong Qiushui left, the considerate Xia Shi did not ask what they had just talked about. She looked at Murong Qiushui's slightly desolate back and asked, "Brother, is Sister Qiushui okay?"

Xiao Zhu shook her head and said regretfully, "Not so good. Murong Changtian's death was a huge blow to her. After so much time, she still hasn't gotten over the shadow of this incident."

Xia Shi sighed, raised her head and looked at Xiao Zhu, and said affectionately: "Brother, I can actually understand Sister Qiu Shui very well. If one day you suddenly disappeared from my world, I'm afraid I would become like her."

Xiao Zhu touched Xia Shi's nose, smiled and said, "Silly girl, stop thinking about it. How could I possibly leave you?"

"Yeah." Xia Shi nodded. She took out the pair of exquisite love bells she bought during the day from her storage bracelet. Her eyes were full of love. She gently shook the bells. Because the love bells had no bell house, naturally no sound came out. Xia Shi studied it for a long time, but couldn't find any way.

"Shi'er, I once read in a book in the library of Novan College that some ancient treasures can only exert their effects after dripping blood to recognize their owner. This Acacia Bell may be such a magic weapon. We might as well give it a try." Xiao Zhu said as he thought.

"Okay!" Xia Shi was very excited. She took out a small knife and cut her white fingers. Blood dripped down her fingers onto the Acacia Bell.

After that, she stared at the bell, but after a long time, the bell didn't make any movement. Xia Shi's expression gradually became disappointed, and she pouted like an unhappy child.

Xiao Zhu didn't have much hope at first, he just mentioned it casually, but when he saw Xia Shi's disappointed expression, Xiao Zhu suddenly recalled what the fat merchant who sold them the Acacia Bell said - this Acacia Bell was made from acacia wood taken from a pair of hunter kings who had a deep affection for each other. Thinking of this, he took the knife, gently cut his finger, and dripped his blood on another Acacia Bell.

At the moment when Xiao Zhu's blood touched the Acacia Bell, a strange phenomenon occurred!

The two bells seemed to be awakened from millions of years of slumber, suddenly emitting colorful light, and then slowly floated into the air, like two butterflies in love, spinning and dancing around each other.

"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling..." The crisp bell rang, the sound was so beautiful, like the sound of nature.

Seeing this scene, Xia Shi held her hands to her chest, and was so excited that she couldn't speak. Xiao Zhu looked at Lingling for a while, and then at Xia Shi, and was also quite at a loss at this time.

After a while, the rotation of the Acacia Bells slowed down and they fell gently on the table, but the light had not disappeared yet.

"Brother, is that legend true?" Xia Shi asked.

Xiao Zhu knew that Xia Shi was referring to the story of the hunting king couple told by the fat businessman, but he didn't know how to answer, so he shook his head and said, "Maybe!"

Xia Shi excitedly picked up a bell and handed the other bell to Xiao Zhu. She gently shook the bell in her hand, and the bell in Xiao Zhu's hand also rang "ding-ling-ling".

This magical phenomenon made Xia Shi more interested. She played with it for a long time, then looked at Xiao Zhu lovingly and said, "Brother, from now on, as long as we each hold a bell, we can feel each other's presence."

Xiao Zhu touched Xia Shi's hair and said with a smile, "That's great."

A lot of things happened that night, and before they knew it, it was already the second half of the night. Xiao Zhu looked at the sky outside the window and said, "Shi'er, it's still two or three hours before dawn. Let's just rest here and set off early tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, brother." Xia Shi responded obediently.

The next morning.

When the two were preparing to set off, Xiao Zhu remembered that he did not have many silver coins on him, but he did have a lot of magic beast crystal cores. In order to facilitate his future movements in Huanling Country, he planned to find a bank to exchange the magic beast crystal cores for some silver coins before setting off again.

The two of them came to the street. Xiao Zhu carefully sensed the surroundings and made sure that he was not being followed by anyone before heading towards a bank. In the bank, Xiao Zhu exchanged many level 3 and 4 monster crystal cores for 10,000 silver coins. It was very rare to be able to take out so many monster crystal cores at once, even in Sanbianzhou. In the stunned expression of the bank owner, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi went out.

The streets of Sanbianzhou were bustling with people. Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi walked along the bridge towards the outside of Sanbianzhou, planning to leave this place and then fly away.

Just as the two of them walked onto the bridge, someone suddenly shouted, "Look over there, what is that?"

Xiao Zhu looked towards the upstream of the river and saw a huge sandstorm sweeping in from a distance along the Daishui River. The speed of the sandstorm was so fast that it flew from the horizon to the front in a blink of an eye. The yellow sand covered the sky and the sun, which was very scary. Xiao Zhu knew that there was no way to avoid it at this time. He grabbed Xia Shi's jade hand and said, "Shi'er, hold on to me."

As soon as Xiao Zhu finished speaking, the sandstorm had already swept across the entire Sanbianzhou. Even though Xiao Zhu was already a hunter, he was swayed by the sandstorm and could not stand steadily. At this moment, a loud "boom" was heard. A tent next to him was blown down by the sandstorm. The tent pole just hit Xiao Zhu's right arm. Xiao Zhu's arm hurt, and the strength of holding Xia Shi's palm loosened a little. Xia Shi's smooth jade hand slipped from Xiao Zhu's palm in an instant.

"Brother——" Xia Shi exclaimed, and then her voice was immediately drowned out by the dust.

Xiao Zhu was horrified. He immediately chased in the direction where Xia Shi disappeared, but the sandstorm was so powerful that Xiao Zhu was knocked to the ground after taking just two steps. When he got up, he found the ground was covered with yellow sand and the visibility was less than two meters. He was completely lost in the yellow sand.

"Shi'er—Shi'er—" Xiao Zhu called out loudly, but no one answered.

The sandstorm came and went quickly. In just a moment, the sandstorm roared away from Sanbianzhou. The wind gradually weakened and the visibility around gradually became farther.

After experiencing a storm, Sanbianzhou was in a mess. The stalls were blown to pieces, people were lying on the ground, and more people were thrown into the Daishui River. It can be seen that the wind force of the sandstorm was very strong.

Xiao Zhu looked around but did not see Xia Shi. He was panicked at this moment. He spread his wings behind him and flew into the air, flying along the bridge to the surface of the Daishui River, looking for Xia Shi everywhere.

Swimming is a basic skill for demon hunters. Xia Shi had learned to swim in Novan College, and her skills were very good. If she was blown to the Daishui River, her life would not be in danger. Xiao Zhu flew along the surface of the Daishui River, looking at the crowd that looked like dumplings. He was confident that as long as Xia Shi appeared in his sight, he would definitely recognize her accurately.

But he flew over all the inhabited areas of the Daishui River, but did not find any trace of Xia Shi.

Xiao Zhu returned to Sanbianzhou and began to search, which took most of the day. After the storm, Sanbianzhou was as messy as a garbage dump, but Xiao Zhu searched the entire area but still could not find any sign of Xia Shi.

As time went by, Xiao Zhu slowly calmed down. He thought of the pair of love bells from yesterday. Xia Shi gave him one last night and wore the other on herself. He hurriedly took out his own bell, only to see that the surface of the bell continued to emit a faint light. Xiao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.

The magic weapon Acacia Bell has the power of communicating with spirits after recognizing its master. If the person holding the bell encounters misfortune, the Acacia Bell will fall asleep again. Now the light still exists, which means that Xia Shi is still safe and her life is not in danger.

Xiao Zhu shook the bell gently, but the bell didn't make any sound, which made Xiao Zhu nervous again.
