Chapter 713 Encountering Powerful Creatures



By the end of the next day...

After days of traveling through Rablus, Lothur was already in the northernmost portion of that state, near the border with Norid and the Ancestral Region.

In the last few days, he had made some progress in his resistance and fighting some Saints, especially 4th-stage beasts.

But he had not achieved any breakthrough in resistance or cultivation.

His life had not been in danger either because even though there were Supreme Saints in Rablus, most of the local 4th stage cultivators were low-level ones.

It would not be easy to find one of them wandering around in the local forests!

At this moment, Lothur was about to reach one of his goals in this area, the Seraphim Church outpost.

This church post was in the next city, less than 50 kilometers from where he stood in a forest, preparing to enter the first city he would stop in since leaving Natali.

But as he finished preparing, Lothur suddenly felt a strange energy moving through the area and stopped what he was doing to look in its direction.

'That feeling...' He looked and saw three creatures moving in tandem, two at the 4th stage, one at the 3rd, level 18.

After seeing the horns on the heads of those blue-bodied beings, Lothur's eyes opened so wide that they almost fell off his face.

'Demons!' Lothur shouted in his mind, recognizing the appearance of these abominable creatures.

He immediately hid all his cultivation when he noticed what these creatures were and put his things away in his spatial ring, quickly putting his interest in those three.

He then looked at the strongest of those creatures with the system.

[Unknown Demon **]

[Soul Cultivation: level 20]

[Body Cultivation: level 19]

[STR: 1,001] [CON: 1,256] [DEX: 999] [AGI: 1.051]

[INT: 824] [PER: 890] [WIL: 800] [SOU: 3,512]

Seeing this, Lothur opened his mouth in shock, noticing that creature's power.

'Damn, they're too strong for me to take them out!' He clenched his fists, seeing that these creatures outclassed him in almost everything.

But noticing that the difference between the strongest demon and the second strongest was not that great, he readily realized that the level 18 being must have a good ranking.

'That's a Monarch demon!' Lothur's eyes shone as he looked at that level 18 being.

[Unknown Demon **]

[Soul Cultivation: level 18]

[Body Cultivation: level 18]

[STR: 669] [CON: 770] [DEX: 710] [AGI: 725]

[INT: 994] [PER: 990] [WIL: 1,000] [SOU: 749]

Demons were special creatures that naturally had very close body and soul cultivations. Because of this, one would never encounter a demon with physical attributes far inferior to mental attributes.

That was also one of the reasons why they had such great body resistance, and their regeneration was so good.

Seeing that weaker but clearly more talented creature, Lothur clenched his fists, wishing for the Soul Bone that creature would form.I think you should take a look at

He felt that all three 'walking bones' would give him much power if he could absorb them.

Unfortunately, he was too weak to obtain those bones by himself now!

'If I use the Darkness Scythe, I'll probably be able to kill one of them, even without using my bloodline ability...' But I'm not sure about killing all of them.' He considered, imagining that a fight against this group would probably have great risks to his life.

With that in mind, he decided to follow them from afar for a moment while he thought about what to do.

'I can't miss this opportunity! I have to find a way to keep an eye on them!' He thought, imagining it would be difficult to reencounter creatures like this on his journey.

Soon Lothur returned to working on his memories of Earth, remembering surveillance drones, which could help him if these creatures didn't realize it.

But when he thought that he would have to demonstrate formations masters skills while following those creatures, he put that idea aside, imagining that he would be in too much danger attracting those beings.

Then a light went on in Lothur's mind, and he thought of his ability, One With Nature.

'Maybe I can follow them with plant consciousness? As long as they pass through forests like this, I can access their movements!' He stopped chasing those creatures, letting them drift away until they were out of range of his observation.

At that instant, Lothur closed his eyes and moved with his hands until he touched both of them on the ground, activating his ability.

Suddenly, while his eyes were closed, Lothur felt as if his senses had increased a thousandfold in a single instant. Even with his eyes closed, he began to see a glowing forest in his mind.

Circulating his energies and connecting to the conscious trees network, Lothur followed the spot where he had seen the demons and quickly found them again, seeing their real-time position.

'Perfect!' A wide smile formed on his face as he felt he could use this to locate demons once he became stronger.

But not only that, if he utilized this when he found more information related to the soul fragment and his family, he could more easily locate the remnants of that family or find out if they had perished.

As Lothur smiled, circulating his powers and not being able to hide his level 20 soul cultivation, he heard a voice reach his ear while his eyes were still closed.

"That's an outstanding skill, boy."

Hearing this hoarse and powerful tone, Lothur put his smile aside and immediately opened his eyes, looking in front of him, where a man with white hair and a beard was standing on a tree branch.

Lothur promptly noticed the symbol on this elderly man's clothes and realized he belonged to the Seraphim Church!

"Who are you?" He made a defensive stance, knowing that someone like this person would quickly become an enemy if he found out who he was.

[Name: ***]

[Soul Cultivation: level 20]

[Body Cultivation: level 16]

[STR: 280] [CON: 350] [DEX: 298] [AGI: 305]

[INT: 694] [PER: 790] [WIL: 700] [SOU: 3,980]

'Almost a 4,000 Soul power? This wretch is really strong!' Lothur swallowed his saliva, sensing that this was a strong demon hunter with several Soul Bones.

However, this was also a hazardous person for him!

The old man laughed when he saw Lothur's reaction and said. "Don't worry, your skill, or your support, is what I want. Kid, work with me to kill those demons, and I'll let you have one of their bones.

What do you think of that? With your tracking skill and my group, we can eliminate those three demons in a few weeks!"
