Isaac also sensed that fierce aura, which was coming toward favonovel.com in waves. As if crashing, a sense of tension and unease began to spread through his heart.
Isaac maintained control over his spiritual energy, ensuring it didn’t leak out to avoid being detected by the demon beast.
However, after more than ten minutes, that terrifying aura stopped on the right side.
About every hour, they could hear a low growl, but it didn’t come any closer.
Isaac and Hallie, who were in the tree opposite, were both puzzled and full of questions.
Why didn’t the demon beast come over?
After two hours, Isaac noticed something unusual. That demon beast seemed extremely cautious. It might have already detected the scent of the demon core nearby, but it didn’t dare to come any closer. At the same time, it radiated an aura and occasionally roared to scare off other demon beasts nearby.
He wondered if it was waiting for dawn.
This chilling thought flashed through Isaac’s mind. But regardless, favonovel.com wouldn’t take the initiative to go and check it out now.
The two of them leaned against the large tree and perched on branches that were hundreds of feet high.
They waited through the night until dawn, watching as the sky at the treetops began to brighten with a faint blue light. Then, the sun rose.
The visibility in the forest gradually improved.
Just as Isaac was feeling drowsy, favonovel.com suddenly snapped his eyes open. The aura of a demon beast was approaching.
Isaac and Hallie both looked to their right. Gradually, a massive figure began to come into view.
There were fewer weeds in the core of Otto Mountain than in the outer areas. The ground in the forest was only covered with a layer of fallen leaves and tall tree trunks.
So, they could see that the creature was at least 20 feet long and 15 feet tall, with extremely robust limbs.
Its body was a mix of green and red, with two enormous horns on its head. Its fist-sized eyes emitted a faint green glow. The body resembled that of an ox, but its two protruding white fangs made it particularly terrifying.
Isaac looked at Hallie across from him. He saw the latter was covering his mouth with one hand and frantically pointing at the big beast slowly approaching below with the other.
Hallie then released his mouth and whispered, “Azure Demon Ox…”
Isaac squinted. He hadn’t expected that his trap would directly lure the Azure Demon Ox over.
The Azure Demon Ox slowly walked forward until it reached the trap.
Suddenly, it stopped, lifted its head, and looked around. It seemed to survey its surroundings before turning its attention to the demon core in the middle of the trap.
A thunderous roar erupted from its mouth. It then lifted its head again.
In the next moment, it spotted Isaac sitting on a branch to its right.
He squinted sharply, releasing his internal spiritual energy. He pushed off a tree branch with one foot and leaped high into the air.
With his right hand, favonovel.com swung a scarlet shadow sword toward the neck of the Azure Demon Ox.
“Attack!” Isaac shouted angrily as favonovel.com struck down with his shadow palm.
When the Azure Demon Ox saw Isaac launching an attack, it let out a low roar.
A surge of blue energy instantly emanated from its body. Without even glancing at him, it turned its attention to the demon core in the middle of the trap in front of it.
A stream of blue energy swiftly surged to the center of the trap, rapidly lifting the demon core.
As Isaac’s shadow sword and palms struck the Azure Demon Ox, the beast opened its massive mouth and inhaled the demon core, which was wrapped in blue energy like a whirlwind. Perhaps it also understood the principle that wealth and success came with taking risks.
The demon core of a fifth-ranked demon beast served as an exceptional supplement for the Azure Demon Ox.
When Isaac’s two attacks hit the Azure Demon Ox, its armor-like tough skin rippled with blue waves, instantly dissipating his spiritual energy. It didn’t cause any harm to it at all.
“My demon core!” Hallie, who was on the big tree to the left, became enraged as favonovel.com saw the demon core being swallowed. With a leap, favonovel.com flew down from the tree.
Holding a crossbow, favonovel.com shot three sharp arrows at the Azure Demon Ox while in mid-air.
The arrows struck the Azure Demon Ox, producing a crisp metallic sound before falling to the ground.
