John, holding the beast core, released it. The core fell, sinking into his shadow. John jumped quickly, moving from tree to tree.
After a while, he suddenly stopped atop a tree. Looking down, he saw three wolf-like demonic beasts. Three demonic beasts at the early stages of Foundation Forging, he thought.
John suddenly disappeared, using his Shadow God technique. He reappeared near one of the beasts, using his Qi-woven thread to tie it tightly around its neck.
The thread sliced through its flesh, decapitating it, and blood sprayed out. The other two beasts saw this and quickly rushed towards John, jaws wide open. He suddenly vanished again using the Shadow God technique.
Both beasts were shocked to see him disappear.
John reappeared above them, swinging his hand covered in Ghost Flame.
He punched one of them, sending it flying. The Ghost Flame engulfed the beast. J
ohn landed and swung his hand, still covered in Ghost Flame, punching the beast against the ground. The flame engulfed the beast, burning it until only its core remained.
John swung his hand, still covered in Ghost Flame, sending it flying towards the corpse of the beast he had decapitated.
The flame landed on the corpse, quickly engulfing it and burning it until only its core remained.
John picked up both cores, holding them. He turned towards where he had sent the other beast flying. Only its core remained.
He started walking towards it. When he got near the core, his shadow suddenly began to expand, and the core sank into it.
John also dropped the cores he held into his shadow. I have been running around this forest for an hour, and I have only been able to get four beasts' cores.
If things go on like this, I might leave the secret realm with nothing. I have to find more beasts, he thought. He suddenly disappeared, using his Shadow God technique.
