From the waiter of the restaurant, Xiao Han learned some information that seemed to be related to the hunting game. After a simple meal and leaving a secret code, he directly left the restaurant.
Calmly and unhurriedly strolled along the busy street, brushing shoulders with strangers, Xiao Han's mind began to spin. Hundreds of explorers went into the uninhabited area, and only three managed to escape. This incident happened a month ago, and the sects and empires guarding Sunshine City did not send any True Qi Realm martial artists to investigate. They were completely indifferent to the matter.
Could it be that he did it on purpose?
Is the deserted area really related to the fourth round of the Monster Hero Trial?
Is it the lair of Demon Emperor Qing Lin and his subordinates?
No matter what, I'll enter the deserted area and find a chance to kill Demon Emperor Qing Lin … Not only do I want to earn enough points, but I also have to get the Demon Emperor Crystal.
The World Annihilation Demon Saber is able to increase my combat strength by leaps and bounds. That is definitely an extraordinary attack-type demonic technique. In a situation where my demonic qi is abundant, I can rely on this technique to fight equally with outstanding demons like the Great Sun Emperor and the Dragon Bone Saint Saber without falling into a disadvantageous position!
According to the waiter, this place was tens of thousands of miles away from the deserted area in the center of Sunshine City. It would take about half a month to travel by horse.
If he transformed his True Qi into a Spirit Turtle or Ice Chi-Dragon, it would take at most one day and one night to reach there.
"Forget it. It's not convenient for me to transform my True Qi into a Flying Centipede in broad daylight and disturb the civilians. Moreover, I'll be discovered by the other contestants.
I'll take action secretly at night … "Xiao Han made up his mind and prepared to find an inn to rest for a while.
After turning the long street, Xiao Han stepped into a deep alley.
Shockingly!
The demon egg that was hibernating in Xiao Han's heart.
It moved slightly.
A signal was emitted!
The demon egg had sensed the demon race!
"Hmm?" Xiao Han stopped.
He saw.
This deep alley was funnel-shaped. The entrance was more than ten feet wide and it got narrower the deeper one went. At the end of the alley was a cluster of bamboo with birds chirping.
At the entrance of the deep alley, there were more than ten stalls selling some handmade products and snacks.
"Xiu ~ ~ ~"
A grain-sized crack appeared between Xiao Han's eyebrows. His demonic eyes flickered with an obscure and sharp demonic light.
Xiao Han immediately saw the owner of a wonton stall with several wooden tables. The owner was a middle-aged man with sideburns. He was slowly cooking wontons for a few customers.
Xiao Han's demonic eyes directly saw through the bearded man!
Xiao Han could clearly see the demonic aura inside the bearded man's body, and the demonic veins that looked like ferocious dragons were rumbling!
"2487 demon veins … It's a demon general.
Moreover, it is an extremely powerful Demon General! "Xiao Han immediately came to a conclusion.
Awakened less than ten thousand demon veins.
As a Demon General.
"En … there are indeed demons disguised as humans hiding in the Sunshine City.
Good, very good. "Xiao Han's lips curled into a faint smile as he slowly walked towards the wonton stall.
"Cough cough …" The bearded man coughed twice and stopped what he was doing. He raised his eyes and stared at Xiao Han. A strange demonic light flashed in his eyes as he said to Xiao Han with a strange smile on his face.
"Dear customer, do you want to eat wontons?"
"Heh …" Xiao Han shook his head and laughed. He directly walked to the wooden table of the wonton stall and sat down. "Boss, I have some private matters to discuss with you. Can I have a word with you …"
"Hehehe … There is nothing that cannot be said to others. Dear customer, if you have something to say, you can say it here.
I, Chen Da Tou, have lived in Sunshine City for more than forty years. I have never done anything illegal. I have always been upright and have a good reputation among the neighbors … Hehehe … "As he spoke, he put a bowl of wontons on the table and put his right hand on the shoulder of a middle-aged fat man.
"Big Brother Luo, your wonton.
Eat slowly. Hehe, eat slowly. "His right hand that was on the middle-aged fat man's shoulder flashed with a demonic light.
Without a doubt, this Demon General only needed to use a little bit of his demonic power to tear this middle-aged fat man into pieces in a breath's time.
"En?
You want me to refrain from taking action … "Xiao Han shook his head slightly.
"Killing civilians by mistake will result in a deduction of points. Besides, I have no enmity with the people here. There is no need to implicate them."
Looking at the Demon General, Xiao Han's heart suddenly surged with an illusion … He felt that at this moment, he had already become a Demon Hero, mingling in the secular world to slay demons and eliminate devils.
Upholding righteousness and chivalry, staying in the Common Inn, enjoying the Jianghu, soaring to the heavens with heroic spirit, free and unfettered!
"Heh … The taste of being a Demon Hero is really great!
Let's see how I, Xiao Han, will kill a Demon General like you! "
Xiao Han's heart was filled with battle intent and heroic spirit. With a slight thought, Xiao Han took out a large amount of pearls, agate, gold, and silver from his storage ring and piled them on the wooden table. The pearls and treasures were shining brightly.
"Eh …" A few customers who were eating wonton suddenly widened their eyes and stiffened their necks. Looking at the gold, silver, and treasures that Xiao Han had placed on the table, their throats rolled up and down.
The other stall owners and customers also cast their gazes over. Their gazes were glued to the pearls and gems, unable to move away!
"Alright, these pearls and wealth, let's divide it among everyone!"
Xiao Han smiled casually. With both hands, he held up the glossy pearls and crystal clear gems and threw them out of the alley with all his might!
"Ah!!!
Mine!
Mine!
Mine! "
Dozens of people in the alley rushed out at the first moment. They surrounded and snatched the treasures as if they were crazy and hysterical!
"En?"
The Demon General was stunned and immediately bared his teeth. His eyes were like torches, as if he wanted to swallow Xiao Han in one gulp.
"Let's go ~ ~" Xiao Han suddenly stood up and pressed his hand on the Demon General's shoulder. He dragged the Demon General to the end of the alley.
"Damn it!
Human race!
You … you are the Demon Hero? "
The Demon General let out a tragic roar. His entire body bowed and then expanded inch by inch. In an instant, his mouth was like a sea of blood, his eyes like the sun and moon, his head like a mountain, 2487 demon veins surged at the same time, causing every hair on his body to emit a monstrous demonic aura. A demonic river surged under his feet. The air around him seemed to be turbulent. An extremely ferocious aura enveloped Xiao Han!
"Heh ~ ~ ~" Xiao Han was fearless and pressed with his right hand!
A power that could tear the heaven and earth apart.
It surged out like a torrent.
Endless star sand and nebula burst out!
"Pu!
Pu!
Pu!
Pu! "
Before the Demon General could complete his transformation.
His entire body cracked inch by inch and exploded like a porcelain tile. He was actually crushed by Xiao Han!
"Xiu ~ ~ Xiu ~ ~ Xiu ~ ~"
Before the Demon Corpse exploded, the tattoo on Xiao Han's Left Biscuit Emperor's palm throbbed and gushed out a violent suction force, completely swallowing the essence of the Demon Corpse!
"Weng ~ ~ Weng ~ ~ Weng ~ ~"
After sucking the Demon General's corpse dry, Xiao Han's Left Biscuit Emperor's palm.
He had awakened a total of 100 Demon Veins in one go!
At the same time, the jade token in Xiao Han's bosom also started to tremble slightly.
Xiao Han reached into his robe and took out the jade token. The jade token glowed with a misty light. Finally, inside the sparkling and translucent jade token, under the number '4', there was a flash of light.
A few small words appeared again … 'Points: 10'.
"Hmm?
I just killed a Demon General. This jade token immediately shows the points.
How magical … Hehe. Not bad. This young master has already earned 10 points. I'm only 10490 points away from passing the test. Hahaha … "
Xiao Han smiled and immediately turned to leave the alleyway.
At the entrance of the alleyway, a large group of secular people were still fighting over the gold and silver that Xiao Han had thrown out. They were completely unaware that Xiao Han had already killed the Demon General.
Xiao Han quickly left the alleyway and disappeared into the vast crowd without a sound.
"Alright, alright. I can't compete with you guys … I'll stop, I'll stop …" An old woman with a hunched back stood up and squeezed out of the crowd step by step.
As soon as she squeezed out of the alleyway, the dry skin on her wrinkled face suddenly emitted a warm luster. All the wrinkles on her face dispersed and the age spots faded away. Her hunched back straightened all of a sudden. Her whole body emitted a flawless aura. Runes were rolling in her eyes and her aura was extremely strong. She looked at the direction where Xiao Han disappeared and nodded slightly. "This young man is not bad. Contestant number 4 is called 'Xiao Han'. He actually suppressed his cultivation to the point that it was as calm as an ancient well. He suddenly made a move and killed a Demon General in an instant. He was silent and his methods were thunderous … He also has some secrets of the Demon Race … I'm responsible for monitoring the contestant number 4, Xiao Han's competition process … This young man is amazing, really amazing!
The level of this year's Demon Hero preliminaries is too high. It can be seen from the contestant number 4, Xiao Han. "
After murmuring to herself for a short while, the old woman also disappeared into the crowd. She seemed to be walking very slowly, but after a few breaths, she disappeared without a trace as if she had evaporated from the world. If someone had seen it, they would have been horrified.
… …..
In a restaurant in Sunshine City.
On the second floor by the window, a young man in clothes whiter than snow was sitting. He was very clean from head to toe, without a speck of dust. There was a faint light flashing on his body. His eyebrows were like swords, and his temperament was very sharp. The skin on his face was crystal clear like jade, but it gave people a feeling of heaviness. However, his eyes were long and narrow like a wolf's. At first glance, people could tell that he was an extreme person who could not tolerate others.
He was drinking, and there was some expression of thinking in his eyes.
At this moment …
"Senior Brother Yun …" A very young man came forward. He was wearing a black shirt and black pants, and his eyes were so black that they were shining. His whole body emitted a kind of terrible desolate aura.
Behind the black-clothed young man was a man with a face like jade, and the temperament of a king.
"Junior Brother Ma, this person seems to be the Crown Prince of Lingshan of the Southern Region?" The white-clothed young man was still sitting, not moving at all.
"Yes, Senior Brother Yun, I just walked around the area and did not find any people from our Devil Hero Region, nor did I find any trace of Eldest Senior Brother. However, I met the Crown Prince of Lingshan of the Southern Region." The black-clothed young man said.
"Hello, friend from the Devil Hero Region." The Crown Prince of Lingshan nodded slightly, and an imperceptible flattering expression flashed in his eyes.
"Hmm?" Senior Brother Yun looked at the Crown Prince of Lingshan arrogantly and said coldly.
"A contestant from the Southern Region?
That bastard Xiao Han is also from the Southern Region, and he is our sworn enemy.
It can be said that we have no good impression of any contestant from the Southern Region now. What are you doing here? "
"Heh …" The Crown Prince of Lingshan laughed.
"My friend, my target is a participant from the Wasteland. Therefore, we don't have any conflict of interest.
We can't be enemies, because if you accidentally kill a non-designated target, you will lose points. "
The Crown Prince of Lingshan also sat down.
"I also know that Xiao Han has a grudge against everyone from the Devil Hero Region. Moreover, the leader of the younger generation of the Devil Hero Region, Garen, is hunting Xiao Han."
"Crown Prince of Lingshan, what are you trying to say?" Senior Brother Yun said arrogantly.
"Hahaha … It's nothing.
Xiao Han is very arrogant. Although we are both from the Southern Region, we don't have any friendship.
Not only do we not have any friendship, but I also dislike Xiao Han … What I mean is that we should work together to deal with Xiao Han.
Of course, my request is that the people from the Devil Hero Region help me hunt down the contestant from the Great Wilderness. "
"Crown Prince of Lingshan, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us your plan." The black-clothed young man urged.
"Alright." The Crown Prince of Lingshan nodded.
"What I mean is that I will also do my best to search for Xiao Han.
Although I don't have any relationship with Xiao Han, we're both from the Southern Domain. As long as I can find Xiao Han, he won't be too wary of me. When the time comes, I'll stabilize Xiao Han, and you guys can set a trap. When the time comes, we'll join hands and kill Xiao Han!
Also, if we can find Xiao Han's companions, we can also lure the snake out of the hole! "
"Heh … Crown Prince of Lingshan, you are from the Southern Region. Why should we believe you?" Senior Brother Yun smiled coldly.
"You have no reason to not believe me, the Crown Prince of Lingshan.
Firstly, everyone knows that the Devil Hero Region is powerful. Garen's cultivation base is unparalleled and his luck covers the sky. Xiao Han is definitely not a match for Garen. Xiao Han going against the talents of the Devil Hero Region is no different from hitting a rock with an egg.
As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. In this world, it doesn't matter if we have one more friend or one less enemy. In the future, we will all become Devil Heroes. In some places, I will need to rely on you guys and Brother Garen. Secondly, I can't stand Xiao Han's arrogance. Are these two reasons enough? "The Crown Prince of Lingshan smiled.
"Hmm …" Senior Brother Yun tapped his fingers on the table a few times and nodded slightly. "Alright, Crown Prince of Lingshan, I will leave a way for you to send a message. You will be responsible for searching for Xiao Han and his companions.
Don't worry, we will help you find your hunting targets and cripple them. We will hand them over to you to kill and earn points. "
"Alright, let's have a happy cooperation." The Crown Prince of Lingshan smiled with satisfaction.
"In addition, I have a close friend, Tian Tian from the Oceanus Sect in the Southern Region. I hope you two can help me find her as well. If we find Tian Tian, we will work together to search for the whereabouts of Xiao Han and his companions.
"Alright, let's do that." Senior Brother Yun nodded.
He took out a dozen talismans and handed them to the Crown Prince of Lingshan.
"This talisman is burned with True Qi. It is a unique communication method for the younger generation of the Devil Hero Region. It is effective within a hundred miles."
The Crown Prince of Lingshan kept the talisman in satisfaction, got up and left.
…
"Hmph!
This kind of aphids can only be used. How dare they try to climb up the ranks of the younger generation of the Devil Hero Region. What an idiot! "Senior Brother Yun's face was full of contempt and disdain.
He paused for a moment.
"Junior Brother Ma, later when we go out, burn the communication talisman and gather the people. Also, look around and see if there are any signs left behind."
"Yes, Senior Brother Yun." The young man in black nodded and smiled.
"Senior Brother Yun, if we find Xiao Han and his people for Senior Brother, it will be a great achievement!"
"Of course.
This time, Xiao Han will definitely die in the hands of Senior Brother and become a stepping stone for Senior Brother's rise!
And all the participants of the Devil Hero Region will undoubtedly become the new generation of Devil Heroes!
We will live up to our masters' expectations! "
