They were in a tense standoff with the female demon hunter, who called herself White Flame. The atmosphere was unusually depressing. Hao Ren did not expect to meet a demon hunter here. But after hearing what White Flame said, he could guess why she was here: she was probably here to deal with the vengeful spirit.
Vivian was shrouded in a thin layer of blood mist. Despite the snowstorm, the blood mist did not budge. She looked at the demon hunters in front of her warily. "What are the demon hunters doing here? Are they going to fight with so many of us?"
"I'm just here to 'hunt'," White Flame said. She was not nervous at all despite being stared at by so many people. "The vengeful spirit under the castle is my prey. As for fighting... it's a waste of energy, so I won't consider it. The vengeful spirit here is more troublesome than expected. I advise you not to waste your energy on irrelevant things. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of here alive. "
Vivian was stunned. "Huh? You don't want to fight? Aren't demon hunters supposed to fight unconditionally when they see the otherworldlings? "
White Flame looked at Vivian quietly. "I usually do that, but not today, because we might all die here. I've been fighting the vengeful spirit in this space for nearly two days. Today, I just had a little chance, but you guys ruined it. Now, we have to find a way to get rid of the vengeful spirit, or die in this snowfield. There's no other way."
Hao Ren said that the demon hunter lady was probably the only one trapped. He and his friends were not. As long as the MDT was activated, the distorted space would be easy to deal with. But he did not say it out loud. Nangong Wuyue looked at White Flame in surprise. "Did I hear it right? You mean to cooperate? Since when did the demon hunters change? "
White Flame nodded. "Believe it or not, I've been watching you for a long time. I've been watching you since you came in. Your strange team makes me think there's a possibility of cooperation." As she spoke, her eyes shifted to Nangong Sanba. "After all, you already have a demon hunter in your team, and it looks like you've been working together for a long time. I'm surprised. I've never heard of a demon hunter working with an otherworldling. Which district are you from?"
Nangong Sanba's expression changed. The moment he saw the demon hunter, he was sweating profusely. He racked his brain to think of a way to bluff his half-baked mixed-blood identity. "Well, actually, there is —"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter." White Flame shrugged. "What do you think? Cooperation or rejection? If you really want to fight, that's fine too. I can't beat so many of you, but I'm confident that I can kill one or two of you before I die. "
Hao Ren could tell that although the demon hunter lady was trying her best to negotiate with them and tried her best to look serious, she did not know how to negotiate at all! In just a few words, she had revealed everything that she should and should not have said, and she did not even know how to read the atmosphere. In fact, it was already a problem for her to come out from her hiding spot alone. She was not afraid that they would gang up on her and beat her up. If it were a normal otherworldling, they would definitely pounce on her and start a fight under such circumstances.
Vivian frowned and looked at White Flame. She thought for a moment and suddenly remembered something. "Wait a minute! White Flame, I remember hearing this name! "
"You know me?" White Flame looked at Vivian curiously.
"A genius child," Vivian slapped her forehead in realization. "I heard it when I was chatting with Hesperides. The most talented among the younger generation of demon hunters, the only one in recent generations who has reawakened the ancient bloodline ability … That's you, right?"
White Flame nodded. "That's me."
"If we kill you here, it will be a huge blow to the demon hunters as a whole." Vivian deliberately bared her fangs as if she wanted to scare the girl in front of her. "Aren't you afraid that we will kill you at all costs? If we can kill the only awakened bloodline among the younger generation of demon hunters, it's worth it to kill a few otherworldlings. But you just jumped out and admitted your identity! "
White Flame suddenly had a look of realization. "Ah, I didn't expect that!" Then the strange demon hunter touched her chin and muttered, "So this is why the masters told me not to go on missions alone …"
Vivian was speechless.
Hao Ren sighed. "Forget it, Vivian, don't scare me. You're White Flame, right? I'm the leader here. We can cooperate. "
This time it was White Flame's turn to look at the otherworldlings in front of her in surprise. "You agree to cooperate at this time? Isn't it more worthwhile to kill me? "
Hao Ren facepalmed. "Why do we always meet this type of people? If we say we'll cooperate, we'll cooperate. Can you cut the crap?"
"Okay, then I'll take you to my place. I'll tell you the details about this vengeful spirit."
After saying that, White Flame turned around and led them in a certain direction. Hao Ren and the rest could only follow. Vivian and Wuyue were a little confused, especially Vivian. She felt like she had seen a rare animal. She looked at White Flame's back and could not help but poke Hao Ren's waist. "Do you really think we can cooperate with a demon hunter who popped out of nowhere?"
"I think it's okay," Hao Ren shrugged. "The MDT scanned her. Based on the hormone secretion and nerve signals, she really doesn't want to kill us. Of course, there's still some hostility. And don't you think this strange demon hunter is different from the demon hunters we've seen before? "
"She's different," Vivian looked a little dull. "I've never seen such a model in my life. She looks more … lively than those stubborn demon hunters?"
At this time, White Flame suddenly turned her head. Vivian instinctively wanted to take out the bat, but White Flame just asked a question. "Can I ask, how did you get together?"
White Flame could not help but look at Nangong Sanba as she said this. One of the main reasons why she decided to cooperate with the otherworldlings was that she had seen Nangong Sanba, her compatriot, working with the otherworldlings. But she still could not figure out how this group of people got together.
Hao Ren scratched his chin and thought for a long time. "If I say it's for world peace, would you believe it?"
"World peace? That's a beautiful phrase. I didn't expect there to be someone with this ambition. "White Flame nodded seriously." It's admirable. "
Hao Ren was speechless.
This girl's heart is more solid than Lily's, huh?
In fact, it was not surprising that White Flame was acting so strangely. This was indeed one of the few times she went out for training. As the only demon hunter with awakened blood in recent generations, White Flame had received special care from the beginning. She spent her entire childhood and adolescence in endless training and learning. She rarely had the opportunity to contact outsiders. Even when she started to go hunting like a normal demon hunter, she was often under the watch of her mentor or other senior demon hunters. In fact, as a demon hunter, White Flame did not need to learn the common sense of the human world. At least, her mentors thought so: she only needed to know how to fight, and everything else was a waste of energy.
Under the guidance of other senior demon hunters, she went to the battlefield, saw the prey, fought, and then went back to continue training. This was most of White Flame's daily life.
This trip to the Siberian region to hunt the vengeful spirit was an opportunity that she had fought for herself. Even so, her mentor still hesitated for a long time. In the end, after considering that the extreme north of Siberia was inaccessible and there were no threatening otherworldlings, she got the opportunity to go out. Her mentor did not expect that Hao Ren and his gang would appear in this place!
"Can I ask a question?" Hao Ren looked at White Flame's back and could not help but ask. "The vengeful spirit under Andrea Castle has been entrenched for more than 300 years. Why did you only send someone to clean it up today?"
"There's no need to clean up here," White Flame said without looking back. "I'm just here to hone my hunting skills. This vengeful spirit is not on the official cleansing list."
Lily could not help but ask, "No need to clean up? Why? "
"Because it's harmless. The vengeful spirit here has been sealed."
Hao Ren was stunned. "Harmless? Almost every year, the Andrea Family here dies … "
"It's harmless. The vengeful spirit will not run to densely populated areas. It's trapped in this castle. As long as its range of movement is limited, it's harmless," White Flame finally turned around and explained seriously. "When it runs out, then we'll purify it. This is the opinion of the elders. But I need a place to train, so I'm here. "
Hao Ren was a little speechless. Vivian whispered in his ear, "See? This is a demon hunter. "
