Hallie hastily grabbed onto a fallen tree for support. He then got to his feet and staggered toward Isaac.
Isaac was lying on the ground. His body was covered in dirt, and his upper body was already stained with a lot of blood.
“Help me up…” Isaac said hoarsely, raising his right hand while frowning.
Hallie quickly helped Isaac up.
Trembling, favonovel.com reached into his pocket and handed Isaac some internal injui’y medicine that they had already prepared.
After taking the medicine, Isaac sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. He endured the intense pain in his chest and began to recover from his serious injuries.
Hallie also took some medicine. Instead of staying put to recover, favonovel.com gripped his sword and staggered toward the Azure Demon Ox.
He cut open the demon ox’s stomach and retrieved the fifth-ranked demon core that it had swallowed earlier. Then, favonovel.com sliced open the ox’s head and took out its blue demon core.
Hallie carefully wrapped the two demon cores and stashed them in his clothing pocket. Then, favonovel.com also sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes to begin restoring his spiritual energy.
***
Time was passing quickly. Isaac, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly heard a low growl. There were also some rustling sounds not far behind him.
While sitting cross-legged and recovering, Hallie sensed something unusual.
He abruptly opened his eyes and immediately spotted a burly Purple Cloud Leopard with purple-red fur 300 feet away. It stared at favonovel.com with blood-red eyes.
Isaac turned his head to see the giant white wolf that had appeared the night before.
“M-Mr. Garten…” Hallie‘s forehead dripped with sweat.
Aside from that fourth-ranked Purple Cloud Leopard, favonovel.com also saw four other Purple Cloud Leopards slowly surrounding them from a distance.
A strong fishy odor wafted from the right side.
A Black Sonic Python slithered rapidly and stopped about 250 feet away. It towered its massive head over 30 feet high and stared coldly at Hallie.
In only a short moment, more and more demon beasts surrounded them. Leopards, pythons, white wolves, hyenas, and others.
Those low-ranked demon beasts were all intensely fixated on Hallie, with eyes full of greed and bloodlust.
“Did you take out the demon core of the Azure Demon Ox?” Isaac coughed and looked over at Hallie.
Hallie shuddered. He finally realized that those demon beasts were probably being attracted by the aura of the two demon cores favonovel.com possessed.
“Y-Yes, I did. What should we do now?” He never imagined that his haste to get the demon cores would attract so many demon beasts.
He slowly backed up until favonovel.com was beside Isaac. He felt extremely panicked, even more terrified than when favonovel.com first encountered the Azure Demon Ox.
Within a 650-foot radius, there were probably about 40 beasts of the fourth rank or lower.
Isaac and Hallie were severely injured and had nearly exhausted their spiritual energy. With so many demon beasts in front of them, they had virtually no chance of survival.
“Give me that fifth-ranked demon core…” Isaac gritted his teeth, scrutinizing the surroundings intently.
He realized that the scent of Hallie’s demon cores attracted those demon beasts. If they didn’t give up a fifth-ranked demon core, those beasts would surround and devour them.
Just as Hallie pulled out a cloth bundle containing the fifth-ranked demon core, the dozens of surrounding demon beasts suddenly became restless, letting out deep growls.
The few Purple Cloud Leopards slowly lowered their bodies, preparing to attack.
Isaac took the cloth bundle and frowned while looking around. All the demon beasts were staring at him, and the oppressive atmosphere grew even stronger.
The choice between life and death happened in an instant.
With a sudden grunt, favonovel.com ascended into the air.
As soon as Isaac flew to the sky, the surrounding demon beasts suddenly launched an attack and charged toward him.
At that moment, a sharp sound echoed from deep behind.
The beasts that had just launched their attacks abruptly halted. They dropped to the ground and lay there. Their eyes were filled with terror and trembling as they stared at something behind isaac.
In the dense forest, a massive white figure slowly approached.
Isaac, who was floating in the air, squinted. It was a white tiger over 30 feet long, with a pair of saber-toothed fangs likely over three feet in length.
On the back of the white giant tiger sat an old woman with silver hair and wore a white emerald forehead band. She gazed in his direction.
Suddenly, a figure clothed in white appeared behind the old woman.
Rosalie, who was now wearing a white dress, smiled and waved at Isaac as favonovel.com dashed toward him, bouncing with excitement.
