After descending the cliff deep in Demon Beast Valley, Li Xiaoya searched the surrounding area until he finally discovered two demon beasts close together two or three li ahead. Judging by their auras, they seemed to be White Stone Monsters. After spending so long in Demon Beast Valley, his powerful divine sense had allowed him to identify demon beasts by the auras they gave off-though, of course, only species he had encountered and become familiar with.
White Stone Monsters are defensive demon beasts. Even the Cross Flame Blade needs several hits to break through their defenses. Hmm! I've got it! Li Xiaoya soon thought of a plan. He slowed down and headed toward the White Stone Monsters, waiting until he was a hundred zhang away before using the Invisibility Art and creeping closer. His experience hunting demon beasts over the past several days had taught him that, apart from certain special species, second-tier demon beasts could instinctively sense only what lay within a hundred zhang of them. In fact, even among demon beasts below the fourth tier, very few possessed particularly sharp senses. Waiting until he was closer before using the Invisibility Art was another trick he had recently figured out. It was a third-tier spell and consumed a considerable amount of magic power. Naturally, the less time he kept it active, the less magic power it used.
At last, he reached the two demon beasts and saw them tearing into the carcass of an enormous tiger, apparently feeding.
