Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

073 finished speaking, smiled, took a deep breath, and looked away. An Xiaohai followed his gaze and saw that through the gaps in the camouflage net, there was a view of most of the landscape of Apo Corner.

That marine environmental observation station is among them.

Once upon a time, there was a forest, a very, very large forest. Many animals made their home in the forest, living freely, reproducing, striving for self-improvement, and living in harmony with the world.

But then one day, for some unknown reason, a powerful demon suddenly appeared in the forest. The demon opened his blood-red eyes and greedily gazed at the beautiful and fertile forest before him.

The beauty of the forest enraged the demon, who devised many wicked schemes to destroy it and transform it into a place suitable for demons to thrive.

So the demon disguised himself as an animal in the forest and began his plan, while the other animals in the forest were completely unaware of it.

The demon thought he was well hidden, but his appearance had already alerted the Lord of the Forest.

The Lord of the Forest dispatched an experienced hunter to the forest. The hunter's sole mission was to slay the demon that sought to destroy the entire forest.

In order to enable the hunter to defeat the demon, the Lord of the Forest also gave the hunter a very powerful sword.

The hunter set off with his sword, vowing to cut off the demon's head, completely eradicate its presence, and maintain the peace and safety of the forest.

He was well-equipped, agile, and confident!

He moved with the lightness of a raccoon dog into the forest, carefully sensing the demon's presence and searching for its hiding place.

No one sensed the hunter's presence, not even the demons or other animals in the forest.

The hunter quickly sensed a demonic aura, so he stealthily crept towards that direction.

As the hunter walked along, he saw a monkey bullying a squirrel.

The hunter looked away. This kind of thing happened every day in the forest; there were too many of them. He knew he couldn't control it all.

The hunter continued onward and saw another wild boar wreaking havoc on a beautiful field of flowers.

The hunter frowned slightly, but quickly left. Although the wild boar was despicable, flowers can still bloom tenaciously if given a little time!

If you disturb the demon by chasing away the wild boar, it will be a great loss. A wild boar can only destroy a garden, but the demon can destroy an entire forest.

The hunter continued forward and saw another hungry wolf, preparing to tear apart a poor rabbit and devour its flesh.

This time, the kind-hearted hunter couldn't bear to watch any longer. Flowers may wither, but they will bloom again next year. However, once life withers, it is gone forever.

The hunter drew the sword given to him by the Lord of the Forest, and with a single, clean stroke, ended the wolf's life.

The stench of blood filled the air, offering solace to the hunter's kindness. Little did he know, however, that the pervasive stench of blood had been detected by the demon he had been searching for.

Because of this one sword strike, the demon finally noticed the hunter's presence and located him.

And so, the demon hid itself, concealing itself completely. Only then did the hunter realize that the demonic aura he had been tracking for so long had suddenly vanished.

The hunter knew he had made a mistake, but by then it was too late to make amends.

There's no turning back... All my previous efforts have been in vain.

The hunter had no choice but to start from scratch.

Soon, the hunter realized that the mistake he had made might be far more serious than he had imagined!

A deeply hidden demon roams the forest, causing destruction a hundred or a thousand times worse than that of the hungry wolf!

Moreover, that vicious wolf was actually a minion of the demon. The demon sent it there to tear the rabbit apart in order to test whether there was any danger!

Looking at the animal carcasses lying in pools of blood, the hunter's heart ached more and more, and grew colder and colder. He could only seal away his compassion and kindness.

From then on, the hunters no longer cared about the conflicts among the animals in the forest, but devoted themselves entirely to searching for the demon's tracks.

The hunter finally understood that if the demon wasn't dealt with, kindness would be meaningless and would only harm the entire forest.

And so, a long time passed, and the hunter finally sensed the demon's presence again.

But just then, the hunter witnessed another bloody scene:

A tiger is hunting a fawn. The fawn has been cornered and is covered in blood, wounded all over, its limbs are trembling, and its eyes are full of despair!

In the past, the hunter would not have hesitated at all; he would have drawn his sword, killed the tiger, and saved the poor fawn.

But this time, the hunter wouldn't do it, nor did he dare to. He forced himself to look away, gritted his teeth, and prepared to leave.

However, something unexpected happened to the hunter.

The wounded fawn, by some unknown means, managed to evade the tiger's fatal blow and, covered in blood, limped to the hunter.

The hunter was stunned. For a moment, he was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with the situation.

Fortunately, the tiger seemed to have also caught the hunter's scent and sensed the danger, so it temporarily abandoned the pursuit.

The hunter breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, his heart was in his throat.

The hunter saw the fawn's eyes. In those eyes, besides fear and panic, there was also a burning flame of anger and hatred, and this burning flame of anger and hatred even had a hint of demonic aura!

What should I do?

The hunter suddenly realized a more serious problem.

It turns out that the demon was not only constantly strengthening itself, but it was also trying to create more demons, and the little deer in front of them was likely one of the demon's targets.

The hunter was truly at a loss. For a fleeting moment, a terrifying thought even crossed his mind: to drive the tiger back and let it kill the fawn.

In this way, the little deer will never turn into a demon.

This thought sent a chill down the hunter's spine. He realized that in the process of tracking the demon, he was slowly being influenced by it.

The hunter thought about it for a long time before finally making a decision.

He gathered a handful of grass for the fawn, patted its head, left his scent on it, and then turned and left.

All of this strengthened the hunter's resolve; only by completely destroying the demon's true form could the entire forest truly find peace.

When that time comes, those wicked jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards will be punished one by one. The hunter has already recorded their crimes, and he will surely tell the Lord of the Forest about it.

At that time, many other hunters would set out specifically to deal with these bloodthirsty beasts.

This hunter has only one goal: to eliminate the demon wholeheartedly, as quickly as possible, and completely! He will not interfere with anything in the forest until the demon is completely eradicated.

As for whether the fawn would eventually turn into a new demon, the hunter decided not to concern himself with that.

If not, that would be best. If the fawn eventually turns into a demon, the hunter will set off again with his sword!
