His life-and-death struggles with demon beasts over the past few days had given him some insight into hunting them with spells. It was best to identify a beast's weakness first, then strike at it; that made the kill much easier. Sometimes, however, those weaknesses were difficult to exploit. The giant-horned lizard, for instance, was a water-attribute demon beast. It feared only earth-attribute spells and countered fire-attribute spells instead. It had given Li Xiaoya quite a bit of trouble, forcing him to use the Lightning Talisman Liu Qingshan had given him to overpower and kill it, yet even that had cost him considerable magic power. Another lesson was to combine his divine sense with the Sensing Art to monitor his surroundings constantly, spotting demon beasts in time to avoid ambushes.

"Right!" Wang Xuanyu cried out, slapping the brass-colored bottle in her hand. A great sheet of flame sprayed from its gourd-shaped mouth and rushed straight into the beast's face. Burned by the flames, it bellowed wildly and flailed its two enormous stone arms. Unfortunately, the muddy hands held its feet fast. It lost its balance and crashed to the ground, throwing up a cloud of dust.
