The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Chapter 350 The clue is broken

The strength displayed by Ruqing in her every move is beyond the reach of many hunting kings. There is no doubt that she is the most powerful hunting king Xiao Zhu has ever seen.

"I don't know the exact location of Heshan Village, so you can only send us here. This is the western border of the Dusk Forest, which should be not far from the village you mentioned. I hope that Heshan Village has not been affected by this Warcraft catastrophe." Ruqing said.

"Dean Ruqing, how did you do it?" Xiao Zhu had not yet recovered from his surprise.

"Do you mean teleport here?" Ruqing asked.

"Yes! This is amazing. I know a man who has the blood of space and has the ability to travel through space. But he once told me that it is impossible to travel through space beyond the formation set up by the demon hunter, and the distance of travel is also limited. It is unimaginable for you to cross tens of thousands of kilometers at once." Xiao Zhu said.

"The person you are talking about is the Zhekong Hunter King Wan Yixing, right?" Ruqing smiled and said, "Space bloodline is indeed rare and powerful, but don't forget the power of the sacred artifact Star Disk. The Star Disk is the source of the formation. It is a simple matter for the Star Disk to teleport us here by setting up a formation." Ruqing seemed to be accustomed to this matter.

Ruqing glanced at the sky in the west and said, "Let's go! Let's get to Heshan Village before the sun sets."

Xiao Zhu and Ruqing flew in Tianfang Kingdom for half an hour and finally arrived near Heshan Village. Along the way, they saw the devastation left by the invasion of the Demon Cult. Xiao Zhu felt more and more frightened. He was afraid that the Heshan Village where he grew up had been massacred by the Demon Cult. With the strength of those civilians, they had no resistance against the bloodthirsty Demon Cult.

Ruqing was also worried about this problem, but compared to worrying about the safety of the civilians in Heshan Village, she was more worried about the destruction of Heshan Village, which would interrupt the clues to Xiao Zhu's life experience.

Xiao Zhu and Ruqing landed on Heshan Mountain. Xiao Zhu discovered a phenomenon that surprised him. The protective formation he had set up around Heshan Village was still there, which meant that Heshan Village had not been invaded by the Demon Cult!

"Let's go!" Ruqing also sensed this formation. The two of them easily passed through the formation and came to Heshan Village.

It was dusk at this time. The hunters who had been busy all day had returned home. Wisps of smoke were rising from the low houses. Xiao Zhu and Ruqing did not disturb anyone. They went straight to the residence where Xiao Zhu grew up at the westernmost end of the village.

"This is my home." Xiao Zhu said. When he mentioned the word home, ripples appeared in Xiao Zhu's heart. This place where he had lived for more than ten years, although it was dilapidated, was the only home in his heart.

With a creaky sound, Xiao Zhu pushed open the door. This low house was already covered with cobwebs as no one had lived there for many years. The light inside was dim. A beam of light from the setting sun shone through the west window, illuminating the dust in the room clearly.

Xiao Zhu was afraid of dirtying Ruqing's clothes, so he picked up a broom behind the door and cleaned away the cobwebs at the door.

Ruqing walked in without any concern. A golden light shone around her, isolating all the dust and cobwebs. With her strength, this was just a slight trick.

"Let me do it!" Ruqing walked in front of Xiao Zhu and began to observe everything in the room carefully. Her movements were cautious, as if she was solving a case, afraid of ruining the scene.

Xiao Zhu didn't know what Ruqing was looking for, so he couldn't help and could only wait on the side. But seeing everything here, he quickly fell into memories.

When he was seven years old, his adoptive father Xiao Chengren passed away. Since Xiao Zhu could remember, Xiao Chengren's health had always been poor. He was short and thin like a stick. With his physical fitness, he could not be a hunter and could only be a farmer. Even so, Xiao Chengren's farmland was a mess. If it was a good year with good weather and good harvest, they could still have enough to eat, but if it was a year of disaster such as severe drought or heavy snow, they would starve.

Xiao Chengren never married in his life. In addition to his poor family, it was also related to his bad temper. Although he was poor, he had a strong sense of self-esteem and was always worried that others would look down on him. Often, an unintentional word from the villagers would annoy him and make him furious, which led to his poor relationship with the villagers.

When he was young, the old village chief introduced him to a woman, but when the other party learned about his situation, the two soon parted ways unhappily.

After that, no one introduced Xiao Chengren to anyone, so he lived alone in the west of the village for decades.

When Xiao Chengren was in his fifties, he accidentally found an abandoned baby in the mountains. He took the baby home and raised it alone. At that time, everyone in the village thought that an old bachelor like Xiao Chengren was not capable of raising the child, and persuaded him to give the child to a wealthy family in the village. The stubborn Xiao Chengren was furious and kicked out all the people who tried to persuade him. If no one stopped him, he would even fight.

In the following years, Xiao Chengren named the abandoned baby Xiao Zhu, hoping that his life would be as tough as the bamboo in the mountains.

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Chengren doted on the child and treated him as his own. He gave the child all his best things and would rather starve himself than let the child go hungry.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Zhu grew up to the age of seven. When Xiao Zhu was seven years old, the sixty-three-year-old Xiao Chengren passed away, and Xiao Zhu became an orphan again.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhu already had the ability to support himself at this time, and the people in the village took good care of Xiao Zhu, so Xiao Zhu grew up slowly.

……

Xiao Zhu was immersed in his memories when Ruqing returned to his side.

Xiao Zhu saw her coming over and asked, "Dean Ruqing, have you found anything?"

Ruqing shook her head: "No."

"Well, it's just as I thought. I have lived here for more than ten years and I am very familiar with this place. If there are any special items, I will definitely find them. And I also asked my father about his adoption of me. He said that I was abandoned wrapped in bedding at that time. Apart from that, there was nothing else." Xiao Zhu was not surprised by this result.

"Can we find the bed and bedding now?" Ruqing asked.

Xiao Zhu shook his head: "A quilt can only be used for three to five years at most. After so many years, it would be long gone."

Hearing this, Ruqing's eyes revealed deep disappointment. Could it be that the clue was lost here?

At this moment, Ruqing seemed to have thought of something. She grabbed Xiaozhu's arm and said, "By the way, do you know where you were abandoned?"
