The Glory of Noxus

Silent outside Fenglian Town.

The night gradually faded away, and the dawn light fell on the dark forest on both sides of the road.

The biting cold wind blew through the layers of leaves, making a rustling sound.

Deep in the dark forest.

Sometimes there was a low roar, and sometimes there seemed to be a subtle cry.

It sounded so scary.

Near the edge of the forest, in a collapsed forest clearing, the chaotic ground was covered with broken old trees and withered branches and leaves.

The air seemed to be filled with an indescribable stench.

Looking closely, in the center of the clearing, there was a pool of smelly blood slowly seeping into the ground.

This pool of blood seemed to have just appeared and was soaking the rotten leaves.

As time went on, the pool of blood gradually turned dark red, as if it was eroded by magic, and bursts of fishy smell filled the air.

Dada! Dada!

Light footsteps sounded.

A slender figure wearing a blood-red cape and red night vision goggles appeared in the open space.

She looked around and looked at the broken old trees around.

"Did it escape?"

The slender figure looked around the dark forest environment, squatted down, and looked at the smelly blood left on the ground.

This was the trace left by the beast that was once a human that she hunted last night.

"No! That's not right."

The slender figure clenched her crossbow. As a Demacia monster hunter, she knew in her heart that these transformed beasts would not leave the range of their masters.

"I smell your scent."

The Demacia monster hunter noticed through the red night vision goggles that there was a shadow shaking behind a pile of broken branches in the dark environment.

"Heh!"

The Demacia monster hunter chuckled.

She deliberately followed the beast to this open space.

After all, if the killing was done hastily, then where is the fun?

The Demacia Monster Hunter walked towards the place where the monster was hiding, as if he was not afraid of being completely exposed to the monster.

The dark green tree canopy swayed gently, and a huge black spider monster quietly appeared.

If you don't look carefully, you won't notice the monster that blends into the night environment.

Seeing the Demacia Monster Hunter coming.

The black spider's green eyes showed a trace of fear, but it had no way out. Three crossbow arrows pierced its body on its hard stone back.

Puff!

The Demacia Monster Hunter just stepped on the edge of the hiding place.

The black spider couldn't help the murderous intent in its heart, and its fangs were exposed, flashing a cold luster.

The next moment.

The slender and sharp legs fell, easily cutting through the surrounding trees, like a black spear, stabbing the Demacia Monster Hunter.

"Found you, little cutie."

The Demacia Monster Hunter heard the movement, looked up and saw the black spider falling.

"No fun trick!"

Buzz! Buzz!

The crossbow string sounded, and a crossbow arrow with a cold glow shot out, piercing deeply into the abdomen of the black spider.

"Squeak!"

The black spider screamed, opened its jaws, and revealed rows of hacksaw-like teeth.

It thought that even if it couldn't bite the target to death, the stench from its mouth would be enough to kill a mortal.

At the same time.

The Demacia monster hunter rolled sideways to avoid the black spider's legs.

The black spider was too big, so she could avoid the legs, but she couldn't avoid the spider's bite.

Maybe she could try to dodge, but that was at most a stopgap measure.

She could also kick the black spider under its teeth, and then try to shoot the last crossbow arrow at its high protruding forehead.

But she was not sure if her crossbow arrow could directly kill the black spider.

Or, she could choose a fast, fierce, and even a little stupid approach.

The Demacia monster hunter chose the latter.

She saw the stench that was about to come out of the black spider's mouth, and the crazy killing intent in its green eyes.

Crack!

The Demacia Monster Hunter avoided the legs, swung his arms, and pushed the crossbow directly into the mucus in the black spider's mouth.

Then he shot the last silver crossbow arrow, piercing the spider's upper jaw.

The Demacia Monster Hunter flicked his wrist, and the silver crossbow arrow directly broke and suppressed, piercing the spider's skull and piercing into its head.

The scream of the black spider stopped abruptly.

Just like when it first attacked, the dark forest returned to calm.

Bang!

The black spider's body collapsed and hit the grass with a dull sound.

The Demacia Monster Hunter climbed up and tried to pull his arm out of the beast's skull while avoiding being cut again.

But she found that her fist was stuck in the beast's head.

"Why do they become deformed and their body structure becomes hard?" The Demacia Monster Hunter muttered softly.

She could try to pull her hand out of the black spider's mouth, but she would lose a finger or two.

Or she could push her arm deeper, punch through the beast's skull, and then rip its jaws open like a wishbone.

As before, the Demacia monster hunter chose the latter.

But just as she was about to do so, she heard a tiny sound behind her.

Another larger black spider appeared, its green eyes staring at her intently, and its sharp legs moved closer.

"Damn it."

The Demacia monster hunter's expression changed, and he immediately sped up his movements.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

In the dark forest, the black spider made a series of piercing chirps, with its teeth exposed and smelly saliva dripping.

Eight black legs quickly stepped across the open grassland, and each time they landed, the ground would shake slightly.

As the black spider moved, a disgusting smell filled the air.

At the critical moment.

The Demacia monster hunter showed amazing reaction speed and fighting skills.

With terrifying power, she directly broke the big jaws of the spider in front of her.

Then she rolled over like a lazy donkey, cleverly avoiding the black spider that pounced from behind.

At the moment of rolling over the grass.

She stretched out her right hand, brushed the shin guard on her leg, and held the three silver crossbow arrows inserted diagonally on it in her hand.

Without any hesitation, she pulled the string and put the arrow.

All in one go.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The sound of the crossbow string rang again.

Three silver crossbow arrows cut through the dark environment, almost in no particular order, piercing the body of the black spider.

The severely injured black spider shook its body like a runaway truck, and continued to whine.

Finally, it was in front of the Demacia monster hunter.

The huge monster fell to the ground with a bang, and after a few twitches, it stopped moving.

"A new deformed monster?"

The Demacia monster hunter stood up and walked over, looking at the second black spider in front of him, frowning, and feeling dangerous.

"Can't wait? Or are you ready to enjoy the spider web meal?"

She recalled the killings in the forest during this period. Counting the two black spiders just hunted, there were already six.

After a moment of silence, the Demacia monster hunter followed the direction of the black spider, step by step, carefully searching.

The dawn glow permeated the layers of leaves and fell into the dim forest.

The Demacia monster hunter found the broken brocade clothes and a familiar emblem in a gloomy place.

The bronze double-winged emblem representing the Demacia magistrate!

"Have you started to take action against the nobles and officials?"

The Demacia monster hunter carefully observed the emblem in his hand, his eyes slightly cold.

She turned and looked into the distance, at the Wind Ripple Town, which was very close to the forest.

It was also where her client was.

But now, the Demacia monster hunter had to consider how to bring the deformed black spider back.

The day after the Demon Slayer Celebration ended.

Wind Ripple Town was still bustling.

There was an endless stream of Demacians coming and going, most of whom were nearby villagers who came here specifically to buy some daily necessities.

On ordinary days, transportation between villages and towns was very inconvenient.

Generally, there would be such a lively scene only when there was a market or some activities.

It also indirectly tells the internal trade environment of the Kingdom of Demacia.

Huo Jixing walked on the street with Poppy.

The surging crowd and the bustling atmosphere were no different from yesterday.

The Piltover caravan had not left yet.

They plan to stay for another day and leave tomorrow morning.

This is also an opportunity for the caravan leader to make extra money.

Normally, the Piltover Chamber of Commerce only requires you to deliver the goods to the Demacia capital on time and complete the transaction.

When returning, you can bring some local designated goods.

As for the affairs along the way, they are all handled by the caravan leader.

Huo Jixing's joining the caravan halfway is also one of the extra incomes for the caravan leader.

The items transported by the caravan will not attract the attention of the extraordinary.

And the robbers and bandits encountered on the road are like weak children in front of the Hextech standard guns, and there is no threat.

Therefore, they are not afraid of any strong man attack.

At noon, the prosperity gradually dissipated.

The Demacians who rushed to Fenglian Town also had to leave some time to return to their villages.

The road is not easy to walk at night, and they need to leave before dusk.

The Piltover caravan ended the trade of this event and was sorting out the goods in the backyard of the hotel, preparing to leave tomorrow and go to the Demacia capital.

The evening time allowed the busy caravan members to relax.

Huo Jixing returned to the hotel, treated Poppy to lunch, and deliberately looked at the numb man a few more times.

Last night's discovery made him feel a little sorry for this honest man.

"I'm leaving." Poppy said to Huo Jixing before returning to the room.

"I need to find the demon slayer and give her this holy hammer."

Poppy gently stroked the hammer handle, her face full of memories.

Huo Jixing's company made her think of Oren and the good memories of the past.

Unfortunately, for the sake of her oath, she must find the peerless hero of Demacia.

Huo Jixing looked down at Poppy, and her heart was moved.

Although Poppy at this stage has incomparable perseverance, she lacks self-confidence and self.

At the same time, she did not realize that the so-called demon slayer and many heroic deeds.

were left by her unintentionally.

Huo Jixing couldn't help but touch Poppy's twin ponytails and wanted to say something.

But he saw the confusion in Poppy's amethyst eyes and decided not to tell her.

Maybe Poppy would realize it herself.

She might be the peerless hero described by Oren, which would be the best fate.

It didn't matter even if they became rivals.

Poppy's character and the environment of the Kingdom of Demacia destined her not to become an obstacle to the Noxian Empire.

"I'm leaving too. I'm going to the Demacia Capital tomorrow." Huo Jixing said softly.

Demacia Capital, the capital of the Kingdom of Demacia.

Almost all the nobles of Demacia also live in the Capital, which is the political and trade center of the Kingdom of Demacia.

"Ah, are you going to the Capital?" Poppy thought for a while and said in a concentrated voice.

"Recently, the Capital has been a bit chaotic. I heard that something big happened."

"And there is not much welcome there, especially the Demon Seekers. Be careful."

"Really?" Huo Jixing laughed.

"We're leaving tomorrow. We still have half a day. Let's go to see the circus performance in the afternoon."

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The snow-white Poro in Poppy's arms also made a sound at the right time, as if he wanted to see the wonderful performance of the circus again.

Maybe the celebration is over, maybe there are fewer people watching.

The afternoon performances of the circus were reduced, but they still aroused the joyful voices of the children.

After the performance, all the members of the circus came out to salute.

Huo Jixing looked over and always felt that something was missing, but he could not remember it.

Just as he and Poppy left and returned to the hotel.

He suddenly saw a team of Demacia soldiers coming to the location of the circus, rummaging around, as if looking for something.

Huo Jixing felt a little confused.

On the way back, he also met many Demacia soldiers in the market square and the streets.

The shining armor and sharp blades told the seriousness of the matter.

"What happened?"

Huo Jixing and Poppy returned to the hotel safely.

Before returning to the room, the familiar caravan guard came to tell him an amazing news.

The judge of Fenglian Town has disappeared.

It seems that the shield commander Levi, who is responsible for the safety of the town, disappeared last night and is arranging his soldiers from the Demacia Kingdom to search for him.

"By the way, the beggars in the hotel seem to have become a target of suspicion." The caravan guard said inadvertently before leaving.

"He has been taken away by the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia. Finally, we don't have to smell his stench anymore."

Huo Jixing was shocked when he heard this. He stretched his mind and did not see the figure of the numb man in the shadow corner.

As if thinking of something, he looked at the room of the proprietress Aina.

She also disappeared.

"Where is Aina?"

Huo Jixing looked puzzled. Thinking of what happened last night, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"What's wrong?"

Poppy noticed Huo Jixing's mood change, turned his eyes away from the snow-white Poro, and asked.

"Nothing." Huo Jixing shook his head and suppressed his inner thoughts.

"We probably have to find a tavern nearby for dinner."

"Oh, just eat something."

Poppy nodded and walked out with Huo Jixing, not minding what to eat at night.

The street at dusk was a little quiet.

As soon as Huo Jixing and Poppy walked out of the hotel, they met a slender figure walking towards them.

Red night vision goggles, silver hand crossbow, and a blood-red cape behind her.

She wore silver mail armor, navy blue leather clothes, and three silver crossbow arrows shining coldly were inserted diagonally on the left and right shin guards of her legs.

What caught Huo Jixing's attention most was that she was carrying a golden heavy crossbow half a person's height.

When the two passed by each other.

Huo Jixing noticed that the eyes of the slender figure fell on Poppy, stayed for a while, and then moved away alone.

"It's her!"

It was not until the slender figure entered the hotel that Poppy spoke slowly, with a slightly surprised tone.

"The legend of the Demacia monster hunter."

"Night Hunter Xiaonaweien!"
