The Sword of the Spirit Hunter
CHAPTER 60 | Hill of Death – Surprising News

Upon arrival in the village, the villagers who saw their arrival immediately hid into their homes. They looked extremely frightened by the arrival of the Xiaozi monster hunting team.

Xiaozi's team of hunters traveled around the village looking for a place to rest and practice.

A food stall that saw their arrival immediately improved and closed their stall. “Grandfather, why did you close the stall when you saw us?” xiaozi asked the food merchant who looked old.

They did not answer Xiaozi's question, but still continued to drift and immediately closed the stall. Xiaozi felt strange about the incident, yet he did not dare to force them to talk to him.

“They were frightened by your arrival” suddenly heard a woman's voice coming near them.

Xiaozi's group of monster hunters turned towards the woman's voice.

“None May?” suddenly Shan Mui felt a sense of recognizing that voice

“Nona Shan? Why are you here?” said the person named Mei who was surprised to see Shan Mui's face with those people.

All of Shan Mui's friends saw the two of them who seemed to recognize each other.

“Wah, unexpectedly we met Miss Shan Mui in this place” someone also came near Shan Mui and the woman called Miss Mei.

“Liu Jang? Are you here too?” shan Mui's face was shocked to see the presence of her two friends at the place.

Mei Shin, was the one who had once been in a team with Shan Mui while Liu Jang was Shan Mui's childhood friend in Rainbow city.

“Chen Yan, do you know them?” whispered He Xian next to Chen Yan

“They are friends of the monster hunter team Prince Shang Ji” Chen Yan said slowly.

He Xian just nodded his head, he felt like he had heard the name of Prince Shang Ji before. The look on his face seemed a little pensive to remember the name.

“Who is Prince Shang Ji?” whispered Qiongqi who also heard their conversation

“He's the Crown Prince of the northern region, Shan Mui”'s future husband said Chen Yan slowly.

The eyes of He Xian and Qiongqi narrowed at Chen Yan's reply, “Prospective husband Shan Mui?”

Xiaozi's face turned red as he involuntarily heard their conversation. Unknowingly he held her neck, feeling the gallows were about to wrap around her neck again. He took a sip of saliva in his mouth thinking about it.

Seeing Shan Mui being there with her friends. “Miss Shan, there's something I want to tell you” Mei Shin whispered to Shan Mui

Mei Shin then took Shan Mui a little away from her friends to talk about something that looked quite important and personal.

“Nona Shan, sorry we had to tell you this” looks Mei Shin bowed grimly before she told you a story.

“What's Miss May? Say” Shan Mui said worriedly when she saw Mei Shin's face bowed grimly

And Shan Mui became impatient waiting for the words from Mei Shin, a look of anxiety on her face when she saw Mei Shin's grim face.

“Miss Shan, some of our friends are dead and captured by the monster army. Those caught in brackets by General Sanme in the Land of Fire” said Mei Shin paused to take a breath.

Shan Mui's face became tense at the news, she did not expect the monster hunting team of Prince Shang Ji to face the rank 3 monster general General Sanme in his hunt.

“Those who are detained include Prince Shang Ji and your brother Shan Yuan and our friends from rainbow” city, Ms. Mei Shin said nervously.

“What?” Shan Mui's face stiffened as if struck by lightning hearing Mei Shin's words. His body shivered trembling in panic and dismay considering Shan Yuan was the only big brother who was very affectionate towards him.

“Force us miss Shan” Mei Shin lowered her grieving face

Shan Mui could not reply, her gaze blank after hearing the words from Mei Shin. He staggered backwards then turned around and turned his head towards Xiaozi. Like a child she immediately ran towards Xiaozi and hugged him. He buried his face in Xiaozi's chest hiding his sadness.

Xiaozi was surprised to see that, as were their team mates. Liu Jang and Mei Shin's eyes twitched not expecting Shan Mui to run into Xiaozi's embrace.

Shan Mui's body shook in Xiaozi's embrace. Only Xiaozi heard the sobs from Shan Mui and felt the warm roar of tears hatched soaking through his chest.

Xiaozi's face darkened because of that.” What's wrong Miss Shan?” xiaozi asked gently as he rubbed Shan Mui's hair. Xiaozi felt sadness in Shan Mui's heart and she tried to calm him down.

“Kakk... My brother has been captured by General Sanme. I don't know how his fate” Shan Mui said.

Xiaozi slowly pushed Shan Mui's body and wiped away the tears on Shan Mui's face with the back of his hand. “Don't cry, your brother is a strong man. He must have survived. We will soon save him” Xiaozi promised while lifting Shan Mui's chin to look him in the eye.

Xiaozi looked softly at Shan Mui's eyes and promised to save her brother.”Yes, I trust you Xiaozi” said Shan Mui softly while calming herself down

After calming down, Shan Mui stopped her cries, the faces of the friends in their team looking grim. They also feel the sadness of Shan Mui after hearing her brother was captured by the monster General Sanme.

“Master, we must immediately annihilate General Sanme's army. I can't wait” said Qiongqi growled at that.

“I agree tuan” sahut Sword Spirit Hunter from inside Xiaozi storage ring.

Xiaozi pensively thought of General Sanme's army which had a much greater strength than General Wume's previous army.

“We don't act rashly. We must strategize so as not to go to deliver life there” said Xiaozi who always remembered the three rules for beginners in the hunt for monsters from Grandpa Tuo.

Although Xiaozi and Qiongqi were able to fight against the forces of Monster General Sanme, but the great strength of the opponent would certainly overwhelm them as well. And the greater risk will be faced by their friends whose strength is below them.

As Xiaozi said, he did not want to deliver his life to fight against the large army of monster General Sanme.

They then find a place to strategize against the forces of Monster General Sanme. Mei Shin and Liu Jang drive Shan Mui and her friends to an abandoned house that has been their hiding place in the village while waiting for help that does not come.

At that place, Mei Shin and Liu Jang then told of the events they faced until the capture of Prince Shang Ji and Shan Yuan by the army of monster General Sanme.
