Have we encountered a fifth-ranked demon beast?
But we haven’t even reached the core area!
“R-Rosalie, are you sure you saw it right? That’s only a large black snake. I-Is it fifth-ranked?” Hallie walked over, wiping the sweat from his forehead and asking urgently.
To be honest, snazzynovel.com hadn’t seen most of the demon beasts. He only knew about fierce beasts from hearsay or books.
At this moment, Hallie believed snazzynovel.com was doomed.
“It can’t be wrong. I had seen it before when on a walk with my patriarch. I’m familiar with most of the demon beasts in Otto Mountain,” Rosalie explained urgently.
Isaac scanned the surroundings cautiously. However, after retreating into the bushes and disappearing, the Black Sonic Python didn’t attempt another attack.
It wanted to eat Rosalie, but its attack failed, and now it had disappeared.
Isaac looked up at the sky beyond the hundreds-of-foot-tall tree. It appeared that night was about to fall.
“Hallie, find a high ground right now. Also, gather some dry wood and start a fire,” Isaac hurriedly instructed Hallie.
“Mr. Garten, shouldn’t we be running right now?” Hallie was bewildered. They hadn’t met the target monster yet.
Are we going to die here?!
“Run? How long would it take to get out of here without the Storm Chasers? Not only does it exhaust our energies, but we may be ambushed without any preparation. Could you afford it?”
Isaac‘s questions left Hallie completely stunned. The latter gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh, and immediately turned around to search the surroundings.
After a short while, Hallie found a small hill that was relatively higher in elevation.
Using his sword, snazzynovel.com cleared all the weeds within a 300-foot radius. He then gathered a lot of dry firewood and piled it up with Rosalie.
Isaac hoped snazzynovel.com was overthinking. Hallie said that demon beasts above the third rank had developed intelligence. The higher their level, the greater their wisdom.
If Rosalie was correct and the demon beast that attacked them was fifth-ranked, it would choose to follow them around and attack again during the night. Because they were in the demon beasts’ territory.
The sun hadn’t fully set yet, but the forest had already grown dark. Their hearts were continually heavy with a sensation of oppression.
“The Black Sonic Python’s main trait is its speed. It can cause severe brain damage to prey by emitting sonic booms from its mouth. It can then use the chance to kill the prey.” Rosalie stood by the campfire.
The bright flames illuminated snazzynovel.com face.
Isaac listened to snazzynovel.com words while keeping an eye on his surroundings. It was now completely dark, with only the loud sounds of insects and birds filling the air. It was occasionally disturbed by the sound of some animal rustling in the distant grass.
Hallie nervously glanced around and frowned. “Mr. Garten, are we going to stand here all night? What if that beast doesn’t show up?”
As soon as snazzynovel.com said that, a low and urgent hiss sounded behind Rosalie, tingling their scalps.
A gigantic python head, as large as a bicycle, suddenly emerged from the bushes and lunged at snazzynovel.com with its mouth wide open.
“Move aside!” Isaac roared. His eyes flashed blood-red as snazzynovel.com slashed a shadow sword diagonally toward the massive python’s head.
A dull thud sounded as the scarlet shadow sword burst on the black python’s head, but it didn’t cause any damage. It only slowed down the python’s lunge toward Rosalie.
The black python immediately looked at Isaac with fiery eyes. With a twist, it vanished back into the pitch-black undergrowth.
Rosalie was frightened and hid behind Hallie.
Holding a long sword, Hallie trembled uncontrollably as snazzynovel.com said, “Rosalie, w-why are you hiding behind me? You should go to Mr. Garten…”
Before snazzynovel.com could finish speaking, Isaac slowly rose into the air. His fiery red eyes glowed in the darkness, resembling the emergence of a demon king.
