Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 405 Hellhound

Qin Xiaochuan said, "Didn't you tell me that there were other hidden reasons behind your uncle and aunt's divorce? Doesn't that change your original views?"

"It's not that easy." Guo Shiyi's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness. "Childhood experiences have ingrained a way of thinking, and it's not something that can be easily changed by one thing or one sentence."

"That's true." Qin Xiaochuan looked at her with some heartache. "Actually, I'm very happy. I think that your tendency to get stuck on things instead of subconsciously trying to make people happy shows that in your heart, I'm still a trustworthy person, and a special exception." As Qin Xiaochuan spoke, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"You know that's good." Guo Shiyi gave him a look that was full of doting but also a little arrogant. Qin Xiaochuan saw it and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Just then, the waiter brought over the beef brisket noodles for the two of them. Guo Shiyi said, "I'll go get two cups of barley tea." After saying that, she got up and walked towards the counter, where there was an automatic barley tea dispenser for customers to help themselves.

Qin Xiaochuan stared at Guo Shiyi's retreating figure with some surprise. He was surprised because she usually asked him to do these kinds of small things. After all, what girl doesn't like being pampered by the person she likes? But today she did these things for Qin Xiaochuan, which made him feel flattered.

Watching Guo Shiyi walk over with two cups of barley tea, Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but laugh and say, "You'll definitely be a virtuous wife and loving mother in the future."

A hint of joy flashed across Guo Shiyi's face, but she said slyly, "I wonder who will benefit from this?"

"Of course it's me," Qin Xiaochuan said. "I finally managed to trick you into getting me, I can't let you get away no matter what."

"You're always showing off." Guo Shiyi made a face at him.

The two were eating and chatting happily when they suddenly saw through the glass window that many people were running in the same direction on the street outside, and their faces were filled with panic.

Having experienced various things, Qin Xiaochuan immediately realized something was wrong. He glanced at Guo Shiyi, who immediately understood. After Qin Xiaochuan scanned the QR code on the table to pay, he and Guo Shiyi walked out of the restaurant. He casually grabbed a burly man in his thirties and asked, "What happened?"

"I don't know, let's run!" the big man said anxiously.

"I don't know why you ran away?" Qin Xiaochuan asked, looking surprised.

"Everyone running away means something bad is going to happen. It's stupid to wait until disaster strikes before running away." With that, the big man shook off Qin Xiaochuan's hand and continued running with the crowd.

Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi exchanged a glance and gave each other a helpless, bitter smile.

This panic quickly spread throughout the restaurant. Although they didn't know what had happened, most people stopped eating and rushed into the crowd.

The two had no choice but to walk against the flow of people. They hadn't gone far when they saw a woman fall to the ground in panic. She was about to be trampled by the chaotic crowd. Guo Shiyi immediately rushed to the woman and helped her up, while Qin Xiaochuan used his spiritual power to erect an invisible barrier in front of her.

"Are you alright?" Guo Shiyi asked the woman with concern.

"No...it's nothing, thank you so much..." the woman said, slightly out of breath.

"What exactly happened up ahead?" Guo Shiyi asked.

"There's a monster! Run...run!" After saying that, she continued running forward with the crowd.

Upon hearing the woman's words, Qin Xiaochuan's expression darkened. He recalled what the Wood Priest had once told him: once the barrier in Crescent Moon City was destroyed, the monsters in the Netherworld Mountains could be transported to Huaxu through spatial turbulence. Could it be that the monsters the woman was talking about were the monsters in the Buzhou Realm?

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaochuan grabbed Guo Shiyi's hand and quickly ran forward, avoiding the crowd.

Soon Qin Xiaochuan saw the monster the woman had described. It was a crimson creature, resembling a dog but with two heads, and twice the size of an ordinary dog. The monster's four eyes were blood-red, and it bared its teeth. When it attacked, it could release high-temperature flames, causing several fires wherever it went. No wonder the crowd was panicking and fleeing. The scene before him was practically a live version of a monster invasion movie.

"This should be a high-level demonic beast, the Hellhound," Qin Xiaochuan said. The Hellhound is powerful, not only moving quickly but also with thick skin and flesh. The flames it releases can even melt steel, and ordinary people simply cannot withstand its attacks. Even among high-level demonic beasts, it has few rivals. The scene before him confirmed Qin Xiaochuan's thoughts. The demonic beasts from the Buzhou Realm had indeed come over. Although this was expected, Qin Xiaochuan did not expect it to happen so quickly.

Surrounding the hellhound were six or seven demon hunters. Three of them were fighting the hellhound, while the others were responsible for evacuating the crowd. Qin Xiaochuan glanced at the demon hunters. The demon hunters fighting the hellhound were all at level 7 in spiritual power, while the demon hunters evacuating the crowd were only at level 5 and 6.

"With their strength, it will probably be difficult for them to defeat this hellhound." Qin Xiaochuan frowned as he watched the demon hunter being forced to retreat by the hellhound. A level 7 spiritualist is considered a mid-level combatant in both Huaxu and Buzhou Realm. Since spiritualism is still in its infancy, even such mid-level combatants are rare talents. However, a single high-level demon beast is already making it difficult for such mid-level combatants to cope. There are so many high-level demon beasts in the Netherworld Mountains. If they all come here, it will inevitably cause an unprecedented catastrophe.

"It's dangerous here, you should leave immediately." A gunner with a level 6 spiritual power saw Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi looking like students, not only not running away but also standing there watching, and couldn't help but get angry, so he quickly came over to drive them away.

"We're here to help you," Guo Shiyi said.

"You two are supposed to help us?" The demon hunter laughed in exasperation, his gaze towards the two men changing. "No wonder people say that college students these days are so naive and foolish. This is not a place for you. Get out of here, or we won't be able to look after you later."

"We really can't worry about that now. Look, that demon hunter is about to get hurt." Qin Xiaochuan pointed to a demon hunter who was fighting a hellhound. As soon as he finished speaking, the demon hunter was hit by a fire explosion from the hellhound. The huge impact sent him flying two or three meters away. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. He was obviously seriously injured.

"You!" Gunner stared at Qin Xiaochuan with reddened eyes. Perhaps witnessing his companion's miserable state, coupled with Qin Xiaochuan's rude words, made him subconsciously take his anger out on Qin Xiaochuan. However, as a demon hunter, he could not attack an innocent ordinary person, so he could only glare at Qin Xiaochuan with angry eyes.

Qin Xiaochuan, however, seemed oblivious to his gaze, calmly staring at the hellhound. "It's coming, get out of the way," he said.

Perhaps angered by Qin Xiaochuan's neglect, the gunner not only ignored Qin Xiaochuan's words but also prepared to lift him up and drag him away from this troublesome place.
