After another night, the sun rose. Isaac and Hallie noticed that the surrounding weeds were becoming fewer, while the tall trees were becoming more dense."It's miasma!" Hallie noticed Isaac stopping in his tracks and looked ahead. Within the dense forest, they saw a layer of light blue mist swirling around.It was only a mile ahead of them, yet it looked like an entirely different blue world.Isaac looked up at the sky beyond the dense forest. Then, he tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, handed it to Hallie, and said seriously, "Tear off a piece of your cloth as well. Wet them in the stream. We'll rush over!"Hallie was momentarily stunned before nodding and swiftly leaving. After a short while, he came back with two damp pieces of cloth.After covering his nose with a cloth, Isaac channeled his spiritual energy to his face. With a shout, he rushed into the blue miasma.Hallie also stomped his foot, gathered his spiritual energy, and followed Isaac despite his poor condition
Five people were standing in front, all dressed elegantly and exuding extraordinary presence. The one speaking appeared to be a man in his 50s, with two other men of similar age standing on either side.In the center stood a bent old man with a head full of gray hair and a young man in his 20s, with a fair and delicate face. The most striking thing was that within a 700-foot radius of them, all the weeds had been completely flattened, leaving the space remarkably empty.Isaac suddenly remembered seeing a swift black shadow pass overhead in the miasma earlier. Could it have been them?Did they come here by riding the eagles?Hallie mentioned that even skilled experts rarely dared to fly into Otto Mountain's core area. But somehow, that group managed to come straight through the miasma zone.Obviously, they weren't easy to deal with."We each have our way. May I ask why you've stopped us?" Isaac spoke solemnly, looking at the person in front who acted flamboyantly."Hmph, stop you
"Forget about it. We need to find somewhere to rest now," Isaac said, frowning and waving.After sprinting through the miasma forest the entire day, he'd used up a lot of his spiritual energy. The core area was even more dangerous than the outskirts, and Hallie was still injured. They needed to recover as soon as possible.Two days later, Isaac and Hallie emerged from a cave to continue their adventure deeper into the mountains.They were currently between two towering mountains. The majestic peaks stood tall like monumental pillars, reaching toward the sky. They felt like tiny ants moving forward beneath those giant pillars.On their journey, they also encountered some demon beasts, but they were of low rank. Isaac's aura could frighten them and make them flee."Mr. Garten, this won't work. Even if we break our legs running and searching across these eight big mountains, we still can't find the Azure Demon Ox," Hallie grumbled as he chewed on a blade of grass.They had reached t
Isaac also sensed that fierce aura, which was coming toward him 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, he wouldn't
The Azure Demon Ox didn't even glance at Hallie. Its glowing eyes were coldly fixed on Isaac, who was hovering in mid-air.With a roar, a surge of blue energy erupted from its body. It opened its mouth and shot out a terrifying force, targeting Isaac in mid-air.The blue energy was like a sword, as swift as lightning.Isaac shouted coldly and swung his sword to release spiritual energy in defense.The two forces collided mid-air, instantly shattering his spiritual energy. The blue energy, accompanied by a piercing sound, shot straight toward his chest.Isaac's eyes widened, and a burst of spiritual energy exploded in front of him.A dull thud echoed as the energy in front of him was once again shattered. The sheer force of the impact flung him more than 30 feet away.Apart from the intense pain in his chest, Isaac was mostly shocked. He didn't expect the strength of Azure Demon Ox to be so powerful.Was there a significant difference between the fifth and sixth ranks?What sho
When Isaac's attack hit the back of the Azure Demon Ox, it briefly lost its ability to move, perhaps for less than two seconds.One of the three sharp arrows Hallie shot out hit its eye.At that moment, blood burst from its eyes. With a thunderous roar, the Azure Demon Ox caused the surrounding trees to shake violently.Just as Hallie was filled with joy and getting ready to move closer to shoot again, the massive ox suddenly turned around and fixed its one remaining eye intently on him.The Azure Demon Ox opened its huge mouth and shot a stream of blue energy straight toward Hallie from between its fangs.When it shot, it raised its hooves and slammed them back to the ground. Then, it charged rapidly toward Hallie.On the other side, Isaac frowned upon seeing the scene. He roared in anger and thrust his Skyrend Sword between the Azure Demon Ox and Hallie. He knew that Hallie wouldn't be able to withstand even a single round against this demon beast.Seeing the blue energy appro
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, he reached into his pocket and handed Isaac some internal injury 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, he 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, he 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 clothi
Dozens of demon beasts around lowered their bodies on the ground, trembling with fear.Isaac watched as Rosalie ran happily toward him. Glancing at the giant white tiger behind her and the old woman riding its back, he couldn't tell whether those demon beasts were afraid of the tiger or the old woman. But he was certain that those beasts weren't scared of Rosalie."Mr. Garten!" Rosalie ran over and grabbed Isaac excitedly, brimming with joy.But when she saw a large amount of blood on him, she instinctively covered her mouth in shock.The giant white tiger carrying the old woman had already arrived. Rosalie was in tears when she turned to the old woman. "Lady Viola, Mr. Garten has been seriously injured."The old woman named Viola glanced at Isaac, then at Hallie, and gently patted the tiger's back.A giant white tiger let out a low growl before softly lying down on the ground.She walked in mid-air toward Isaac and slightly bowed, saying, "Thank you for saving my granddaughter,
