Sure enough, just after Zhong Pingdao left, the disciple who came to inform him of the news arrived. Lin Xiu seemed quite helpless about this, accepting his fate. He had to bow his head under the eaves.
Following the disciple, Lin Xiu soon came to the forest behind the Sea of Refining Fire, the Black Flame Forest. It was surrounded by a dense darkness, full of trees, and it was impossible to see the edge as far as the eye could see.
As soon as he entered the Black Flame Forest, a sense of depression began to envelope Lin Xiu. The unknown big trees around him were soaring up, and their branches and vines were growing lushly. Branches could be seen everywhere. And in this forest, there was something vaguely strange.
The sound sounded like some wild beast, it was really penetrating.
Weird, this was the first thought in Lin Xiu's mind. Although he didn't know how big this forest was, it was so weird that it made people's hearts tremble. No wonder Shengyue let herself come here. This is indeed a burial ground.
Good place.
Continuing to walk forward, his vision became a little brighter, and then, in a relatively empty place, Lin Xiu saw the team performing a demon hunting mission.
There are not many members in this demon hunting team, there are about thirteen or four. There is no doubt that these are the best among the outer disciples, and their strength is above six-star martial disciples.
They were resting at this time. Some gathered together in groups of three or two, drinking wine from the flasks in their hands and chatting. Others, in a corner, patiently wiped the weapons in their hands.
Others simply leaned under a tree and closed their eyes to rest.
They seemed to have no reaction to Lin Xiu's arrival, and continued to do what they were doing. They didn't even give him the simplest look, and just ignored him as nothing. This also made the accompanying people
The disciples who came had a look of embarrassment on their faces.
"Let me tell you something. It has been decided by the higher authorities that the person next to me, Lin Xiu, will officially become a member of your demon hunting team from now on."
The disciple also knew his position, smiled apologetically at Lin Xiu, and then began to speak to everyone.
As soon as these words came out, the whole world became quiet. This space seemed to have stagnated. The person who was boasting suddenly stopped his open mouth and just opened it like that. The person who was wiping the weapon just touched the cloth in his hand.
When they reached the sword, they stopped moving. Even the ones who closed their eyes to rest quietly opened their eyes. They just looked at Lin Xiu blankly, as if they were shocked by something.
In an instant, the surprise among the team disappeared, replaced by the unabashed disdain in their eyes. Obviously, they did not welcome this boy who only seemed to have the strength of a four-star martial arts disciple.
Lin Xiu, who was standing next to the disciple, had been observing this group of people carefully from the beginning, and all their reactions fell into Lin Xiu's eyes.
Among this group of people, Lin Xiu found several familiar figures. They were the people he and Fu Huang met last time in the sea of refining fire. Among them were Luo Qiang, who had had conflicts with him before, and the one who made him feel angry.
A man in crisis.
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Xiu. I am a four-star warrior."
Glancing at the crowd again, Lin Xiu took a step forward, and then spoke. Instead of letting them discuss this and that, it would be better for him to say it directly. Aren't they just doubting his own strength? Then just admit it openly.
Well, gold will always shine, not to mention its purity is so high.
Everyone seemed not to have expected that the person in front of them could be so frank, and the disdain in their eyes gradually diminished. Of course, this did not include Luo Qiang and the person who gave Lin Xiu a sense of crisis.
There was no look of disdain on Luo Qiang's face, but his big, bright eyes were burning with a strong fighting spirit. As the only person in the team who had fought against Lin Xiu, he would certainly not be beaten by Lin Xiu.
Deceived by his apparent strength, at this moment, in addition to doubts and caution, what remained in his heart was the urge to fight again. Although Lin Xiu was severely injured last time, he also paid a heavy price.
What's more, there was a gap of several levels between him and him. He didn't believe that Lin Xiu's strength would not improve after so many days, but it seemed that he was more confident in himself.
In addition to Luo Qiang, there was another person in the team. That person was the person who had closed his eyes and meditated under the tree before. This person's appearance was extremely ordinary, and could even be described as ugly. He had thick eyebrows, a sloped nose, and a mouth like a ravine. At this time, his complexion
Looking at Lin Xiu calmly, there was no contempt or other emotions in his eyes. His expression was dull, like a puppet without emotion.
However, Lin Xiu discovered some clues during his casual glance, that is, the distance between the people around him and the man. It was not so much his own insularity, but rather the fact that everyone deliberately distanced themselves from him, and
When everyone's eyes glanced at him, there was always a hint of fear in their eyes.
When Lin Xiu was observing the crowd, they seemed to be sizing up Lin Xiu. On the surface, they were a little disdainful of Lin Xiu, but for this group of smart monkey-like people, they would not think that the higher-ups would let a powerful person go without any reason.
The level is such that people come in.
Either he has a background or he has a trump card. Of course, it is more likely that the person in front of him has offended someone, because for an ordinary four-star warrior, the demon hunting team is equivalent to a boneyard.
They prefer the last option in their hearts, and the possibility of having a trump card has long been ignored by them.
After the surprise and contempt, everyone returned to their original appearance. Those who should talk about the world are still trying to blow the cowhide over, and those who should get close to the sword are still affectionate and want to pierce the sword. In short, everything has returned to its original state.
original appearance.
"Hello, I am the captain of the demon hunting team, Han Han. On behalf of the demon hunting team, I welcome you to join."
A man who looked very strong stood up at this moment, wiped the dust from his buttocks, and walked towards Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu then turned his attention to this person. Before, this person had turned his back and was discussing something with a few people, so Lin Xiu didn't notice it. Only then did he notice that there were three clothes hanging on the other person's chest.
A bright little star.
"Samsung Samurai!!"
Lin Xiu was surprised in his heart.
"Hello, Captain Han."
Fortunately, Lin Xiu quickly adjusted and stretched out his palm to shake Han Han's hand.
Looking closely, Lin Xiu discovered that there was a clearly visible scar on the side of the man's face. Coupled with the man's strong figure, he showed a strong aura.
"Haha, since you have joined this demon hunting team, you are a family. That's what they are like. You don't need to pay attention to them."
With a loud smile, Han Han pointed to the person next to him and said. Although he is the captain and has the first say in the team, it is obvious that he is too lazy to pay attention to these daily trivial matters, or this is also a strategy of his.
After all, people don't like to be restrained, so he doesn't care about their posture at this time.
"It doesn't matter, masters usually have a temper."
Lin Xiu didn't seem to care. After glancing at everyone, he said helplessly.
"What about Fu's temper? Are you still a master? Don't think that just because you have an advantage among the outer disciples, you can be called a master. When you enter the inner sect, you will know what it means to be a master when there are others outside the world!"
Without hiding his disdain, Captain Han did not hesitate to curse and began to scold him. From the beginning of his words to the end, he showed a strong aura.
"But I'm personally a little curious, how did your strength as a four-star warrior end up here? You know, this Black Flame Forest is not as simple as it seems on the surface. If you don't have strength, it's hard for me to guarantee that you will be safe.
Come back."
It seemed that he also realized that he was a little too violent in front of a new member, so he changed the topic again and asked his doubts.
