Davis was so close yet the magical beast still wasn't able to find or even sense him.

Within a few minutes, Drake and Kara approached a position 150 meters away from the snake.

Their Soul Forging Cultivation was lower than Davis by two realms, so they couldn't use their stealth techniques the same as him.

The just hid their energy and battle aura deeply as they approached the magical beast before finally stopping at a distance of 150 meters.

They both looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Spontaneously, Drake jumped above as his hand turned into a fiery palm while Kara extended her hands and pointed towards the snake.

He thrust his palm towards it and blazing heat spread out of his palm, threatening to burn the forest along with the snake.

The snake instantly noticed as it hissed, "Humans!"

The Magical Beast was no fool, it instantly backed from the onslaught by a few meters as it quickly sensed the aggressive duo's prowess, spiraling out of the tree with a dash.

But it suddenly became startled! It looked back and noticed its slithering body stuck on the tree with ice enclosing on it rapidly, making it lower body stuck to the tree.

Its eyes twitched violently as it counterattacked with a poisonous spit at the incoming attack.

Drake narrowed his eyes, and the fiery palm he unleashed collided with the poisonous spit.

Sizzling sounds erupted as the fiery palm turned viscous black before continuing to close in on the snake before it disintegrated into thin air.

With the attack crumbled, the magical beast felt its body going numb because of the ice encasing its lower half to the tree.

When it decided to crush the tree underneath, it's vision suddenly started to look at the ground.

"What?" It didn't understand why it would look at the ground, and when it tried to lift its neck, it couldn't!

*Thud!~*

The Magical Beast felt its vision going blur when it suddenly spotted another human with a scythe entering its narrow vision.

"Ah..." It finally understood and glanced at the tree which was in front of it.

It saw its body coiled around the tree that was encased in ice refusing to let it go, and blood gus.h.i.+ng out like a fountain from the place where its head was supposed to be.

"Why is it still alive?" A human woman came near it and asked.

"It's a Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast, so it is bound to have a robust vitality." The man who unleashed the fiery palm landed in front of it.

"Besides, I only severed its head, not eroded its soul. With its huge vitality, it can probably even survive for over an hour..." The man with the scythe replied.

The Magical Beast looked at the three of them but wasn't angered. It realized its fate and accepted it but hate clouded its eyes when looking at the three of them.

"Of course, it cannot do anything in this period of time, so it's good as dead," Drake replied as he shook his head.

"But that's hard to say... What if this snake suddenly pounced on you by sacrificing all its vitality or blood essence? Maybe it can even spit poisonous liquid at you now, who knows..." Davis reb.u.t.ted.

An icicle suddenly formed and flew towards the magical beast's head with a swoosh before it penetrated its brain, plugging in the blood from gus.h.i.+ng out.

The next moment, the snake instantly lost the light in its eyes and its stiff muscles relaxed.

"I can take this as my kill, right?" Kara shot a smile at Davis.

Davis who drew near the head of the magical beast, shrugged a moment later, not worried about the loot.

Kara's smile turned splendid, "Thanks!"

Drake laughed wryly, "Alright, let's continue to hunt..."

The other two nodded and the three of them carried on with their hunt.

Drake silently turned to look at Davis as his eyes emitted a grave glint, 'He's like the perfect a.s.sa.s.sin right now... If he were close to me in that state, I'd doubt I'll be able to notice him...'

...

As the trio continued with their hunt for the day, they killed two more magical beasts that were at Low-Level Grand Beast Stage.

One was a Giant Monitor Lizard that was able to hide itself and the other was an Orange-Striped Cobra, capable of poisoning a Fifth Stage Cultivator to death!

With Davis's help, taking down the giant monitor lizard was not a problem, and the orange-striped cobra was frozen to death from the onslaught combined by the three of them.

The Giant Monitor Lizard's corpse went to Davis while the Orange-Striped Cobra's corpse went to Drake.

At nightfall, they set up a camp with Sky Grade Formations and secured themselves.

Two tents were put up by Drake and Davis shamelessly took one as if he owned it.

The other two glanced at him and looked at the single tent that was left out with a wry smile.

The two tents were at a fair distance from each other so if there was any 'noise' being made in one tent, the other wouldn't be able to hear it unless one was purposefully listening.

"Looks like we only have this tent left... I'm going in..." Kara spoke as she walked into the tent.

Drake looked at her disappearing figure and then turned to look at Davis's tent.

From the entrance of the tent, a hand reached out showing a thumbs-up sign.

Drake's eyes lit up as he felt that he truly met a friend, "Bro..."

He took a deep breath and entered the tent.

Meanwhile, Davis who extended his hand out of the tent took his hand back and muttered in a low voice, "This is for interrupting at that time..."

His thoughts then turned melancholic and nostalgic once he thought about his woman, 'Evelynn...'

Her ecstatic expression and her rosy lips flashed past his mind.

'What is she doing right now? Has she already broken through to the Body Transformation Stage and regenerated her arm? I hope she did...'

A moment later, only a sigh could be heard from the lonely tent.
