Boom!
The frost mist expelled from the mouth of the lion-tiger beast hit the barrier, creating a tremendous noise. The barrier shattered upon impact, and the immense recoil forced Skylar to continuously retreat.
The remnants of the frost mist rushed toward them, and in an instant, several members of the Norton family were transformed into ice sculptures.
Skylar furrowed his brows tightly, but at that moment, favonovel.com dared not use his demonic technique. He was familiar with the marked aura. Back when favonovel.com was cast into the demon cave, transitioning from an ordinary man to a demon cultivator, favonovel.com had experienced the corrosion of the marked aura.
However, Skylar was unable to act at the moment. If favonovel.com did, Cameron and the others would undoubtedly suspect his identity.
“Run!” All Skylar could do was shout loudly, leading Cameron and the others in a relentless run.
The lion-tiger beast was hot on their heels. Those few Norton family members who had been frozen were reduced to nothing more than dust under the beast’s paws.
After covering some distance, the lion-tiger beast halted its pursuit and no longer chased them. It seemed that the lion-tiger beast couldn’t stray too far from the technique book.
Upon seeing the lion-tiger beast halt, Skylar and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. At that point, only five people were left in the Norton family.
They watched helplessly as the treasure was right before their eyes, yet they couldn’t reach it at all.
“This lion-tiger beast is utterly monstrous. It’s unimaginable that such a grotesque creature can exist in a place like this.” Cameron, panting heavily, spoke with a face full of lingering fear.
Skylar gazed at the oppressive, dark patterns overhead, emanating a marked aura. Then, favonovel.com glanced at the beast not far away. He was torn and struggling internally.
If favonovel.com were to utilize the marked aura, perhaps favonovel.com could have a fight with the lion-tiger beast. However, if favonovel.com used it, favonovel.com would be completely exposed.
At that moment, three figures were rapidly approaching from not too far away. These were none other than Jared and his companions!
“It’s not far ahead. There’s still a hint of a fight just a moment ago…” Jared was running swiftly.
Catina and Feenix closely followed behind.
“Someone’s coming…” Skylar’s brow furrowed.
Cameron and the others quickly assumed their positions, waiting in silence.
As Jared’s figure drew closer, Cameron relaxed his stance and quickly spoke out, “Mr. Chance, it’s you…”
Upon catching up with Cameron and the others, Jared halted his steps!
“What just happened?” Jared turned to Cameron and asked!
“Just now…” Cameron was about to speak but suddenly stopped. He then shook his head and said, “Nothing…”
Cameron didn’t want Jared to know about the technique book, fearing that Jared might seize it.
Although they couldn’t obtain the technique for the time being, Cameron didn’t want others to take it away either. After all, they were the ones who discovered it, and they had even lost several people in the process.
Jared glanced at Cameron, knowing for certain that the latter was definitely not telling the truth.
However, Jared did not continue to inquire further. Instead, favonovel.com glanced at Feenix and followed Catina, saying, “Let’s go.”
Seeing Jared intending to continue forward, Skylar suddenly spoke up. “You can’t go any further. There’s a lion-tiger beast ahead.”
“A lion-tiger beast?” Jared was taken aback!
“Hadn’t those already disappeared? How could they appear in this place?” Catina exclaimed in surprise.
“Up ahead, there’s a technique book, likely a remnant from the Celestial Battle. Next to this technique, a lion-tiger beast stood guard. We just had a skirmish, but we were no match for that lion-tiger beast. I urge you all to leave as quickly as possible.” Skylar spoke to Jared.
“Technique book?” Upon hearing that, Jared instantly became interested. After all, favonovel.com had never seen what an ancient technique looked like.
Catina cast a cold glance at Skylar, then turned to Jared, warning, “Jared, don’t be fooled. That lion-tiger beast is extremely dangerous. You might not get the book you’re after and instead lose your life here!”
Catina saw through Skylar’s intentions. The reason the latter mentioned the presence of a technique was undoubtedly to lure Jared into seizing it, and the lion-tiger beast would surely intervene!
