“Oh my! We’ll make a fortune!” Hallie stumbled and hurried toward the head of the Black Sonic Python.
He directly touched onto the slimy python’s head without showing any sign of disgust or discomfort.
Isaac squinted and watched Hallie climb onto the python’s head. Then, the latter raised his long sword and stabbed its head.
After the black python died, its formidable defenses disappeared. When the long sword pierced through it, its black blood immediately spilled out.
Isaac only glanced briefly before turning around to gaze around. He didn’t pay much attention to what Hallie was doing. However, after searching the area several hundred feet around the campfire, favonovel.com couldn’t find Rosalie.
When Isaac returned, favonovel.com saw that Hallie had rekindled the flames.
The latter was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and his hands were covered in dark, sticky python blood. He was holding a small and pitch-black object roughly the size of a peach pit.
When Hallie saw Isaac approaching, favonovel.com excitedly exclaimed, “Mr. Garten, this is its demon core! It’s the most valuable thing!”
“Rosalie is missing,” Isaac stated seriously.
Hallie abruptly looked up. As if remembering something, favonovel.com grabbed Isaac and said, “What should we do? She’s only a small demon beast. She might be injured in Otto Mountain…”
“She ran away on favonovel.com own.” Isaac raised his hand to stop Hallie from speaking further.
He was nearby when the Black Sonic Python attacked Rosalie just now. Although Rosalie was knocked away, favonovel.com wasn’t seriously injured. She seized the opportunity to run away.
Hallie’s eyes widened.
“In Otto Mountain, Rosalie understands far better than both of us when it comes to avoiding danger,” Isaac said unpleasantly.
He then asked while looking at the demon core in Hallie’s hand, “You say this demon core is valuable? Can we exchange it for a lot of money?”
Hallie swiftly nodded. “Mr. Garten, this thing isn‘t only worth a lot of money. Southcoln City has released the bounty task to kill the sixth-ranked Azure Demon OX with a reward of 1,000 taels of gold… That’s only the reward amount from the city lord’s mansion. If we exchange it on the black market, it would be worth at least ten times more.”
“For this fifth-ranked demon core, we could easily exchange at least five thousand taels of gold in the black market!”
Isaac asked again, “Why is it so valuable?”
“It can be used in medicine or meditation. Some people are demonic practitioners in the Upper Martial Realm. This thing is an incredibly powerful supplement to them,” Hallie explained as favonovel.com tore off a piece of cloth.
He carefully wrapped the demon core in it before handing it over to Isaac.
“Take it yourself. After we kill the Azure Demon Ox, we can take the two demon cores to the black market to trade for money,” Isaac said while waving.
Hallie’s eyes widened. “We can’t do that. We accepted the task from the city lord’s mansion. If we kill the Azure Demon Ox without reporting it to them…”
“How will they know whether we kill the Azure Demon Ox? You’ve already barged into lad Holmes’ room and snatched Rosalie away. Are you still afraid of offending the city lord?” Isaac rolled his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground, ready to regain his spiritual energy.
Hallie smacked his forehead and said, “That’s right… I forgot that… Mr. Garten, we can‘t stay here any longer. The python’s corpse will attract some fierce beasts, maybe even demon beasts. We need to leave this place.”
Despite his injuries, Hallie followed Isaac and continued to grope their way through the darkness.
It wasn’t until daybreak that they finally felt safe enough to stop.
They then found a spot next to a stream, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate.
The scarlet spiritual energy surged through Isaac’s body, causing the energy in his power core to increase rapidly.
At sunset, Isaac and Hallie set out again, venturing deeper into Otto Mountain.
