A Dragon Among The Stars

Inner Section

Kiel marveled at the different kinds of demon beast. Some of them were no different from the animals on earth! Rhinos, tigers, lions. They resembling features, the only difference was the ferociousness, their horns, bigger and stronger bodies, sharper claws. Even the elephants was many times bigger than the average elephant. It was by far the biggest monster he had ever seen.

Just seeing those ferocious looks had scared Kiel since after all the past Yang Chen never had seen a demon beast. He only fought those sect members of his, though most of the time he was beaten to a pulp still he was somewhat adept in fighting.

The group continued deeper. Roars and sounds of fighting was heard all over the place. Through out their path, torn trees, rocks, pits and splashes of blood was a common sight. The quiet and peaceful mountain range has become a battlefield between humans and Demon beasts!

The group decided to head deeper towards the inner sections of the monster ranger. though it would be more dangerous but lower number of competitors. Not just anyone can roam the inner sections of the mountain ranges. It was filled with higher grade monsters, grade three beast roam the these section. Even if the team is confident of their skills and could take on a lower grade 3 demon beast, they could do nothing against stronger demon beast. If their luck is bad then the moment they meat a grade 4 beast then it would be the same as meeting their doom. Only nascent soul expert could hunt grade 4 beast. Even if that person is a core formation genius, he or she would have to run.

Soon the group found their first prey. A pack of Curved-tooth Tigers. They greatly resembled the tigers on earth, the only difference was their signature curved tooth, black and white fur, and their buff and stronger bodies. They could easily rip a car into pieces! Their gender is known through the color of their furs, black being male and the white belonging to the females. They're the distant descendant of the Eight-stripped Mountain Tiger, A legendary eight grade high demon beast! It is known that this kind of beast had long ago went into extinction, nevertheless they were known to be one of the most ferocious demon beast! Creating a storm of blood wherever they go.

the value of a Curved-tooth Tiger is its blood, bones and core. It's skins has no value since they are hard of manufacture into goods. There were better alternatives.

Huang Shi looked at the group "You know what to do. Kiel, you stay close to us and give us support. And lastly... Don't push yourself"

Kiel understood the last sentence since he was a newbie when it comes to demon beast. If he pushed himself, he would only end up as a burden. Being a burden was the last thing he didn't want to do. After all they were deep inside the mountain range. Disaster could come any moment and take their own little lives.

Jin Lang jumped and slithered through the branches of the trees as quick as lightning. He was like a snake freely roaming in its own territory, quick and silent. While the rest of the team got in to position. Kiel held in his breath and tried to calm his nervous heart, it was his first time fighting against a live demon beast and grade two on top of that!

Seconds later white powder sprinkled downward from the trees towards the unsuspecting tigers. The tigers were oblivious towards this powder. They were hard to see and had no smell. Perfect to use since these lower grade demon beasts were only a little bit smarter than your average animals.

The twins moved in a flash and each punched their fist forward, roaring fire burst out. Like a chemical reaction, the fire further intensified as it touched those white powder. Increasing its power and ferocity. Almost half of pack was burned alive. only few was able to evade and save their lives. The group then used this moment of disarray and launched a deadly attack.

Sword Qi flashed around as well as explosions and fire. Kiel was able to fend off some lower grade tigers, it was a good thing that his body remembered to fight because Kiel never fought or practiced martial arts back on earth. This was his first time fighting, and it wasn't even humans but strong and ferocious demon beasts!
