Each magic core was the size of a pumpkin, several times larger than a dragon's magic core. This was not normal. Although the beast's magic resistance and defense were high, they were definitely not as good as a dragon's.
Rex and Salin finally understood that the behemoth's super strong defense came from the magic formation formed by the six magic cores. Otherwise, the level-six Fire Snake spell wouldn't have only burnt some scales, and the puppet's javelin wouldn't have just pierced through the scales and not hurt the beast's flesh.
Every inch of the beast's body had the same defense, and the magic array took the brunt of the external attacks.
Salin was even more clear that if it was just the toughness of the scales, Nelis wouldn't have been able to kill the beast in the simplest way. Salin and Rex looked at each other. If this beast was created by a human, there must be something strange in the skull. But even if he and Rex used the Great Strength spell, they couldn't compare to Silva's Nelis.
"Turn that skull over. I want to take a look," Salin said to Silva and Nelis.
Nelis put the floating magic cores into her bracelet one by one, and cut off the skin and scales connected to the neck. The beast's skull rolled to the ground. Silva went up and turned it over.
Rex used the Cleaning spell to wash the inside of the skull. Salin also clawed at the edge of the skull and looked inside. There were light green magic patterns on the inside of the clean white skull.
The two looked at each other again, and both saw the magic array hidden in the magic patterns. A Magical Beast's body would never have such a thing growing out of it. But this magic array was clearly a part of the beast's body. It wasn't drawn on, nor carved with alchemy.
This magic array was growing in the skull. It resonated with the six magic cores, forming a compound magic array that increased the beast's defense to an astonishing level.
"Rex, put it away first." Salin knew that it wouldn't be easy for him and Rex to analyze the principle of this magic array in a short time. Also, the environment now wasn't safe. It wasn't the time to learn.
"Salin, my boomerang …"
Silva looked at Salin. Her weapon was the first to be swallowed by the beast. That boomerang was even modified by Faylen.
"Neris." Salin shouted. Nelis helplessly returned to the corpse of the giant beast and studied how to cut it up. The materials on the beast's body were of the highest quality. Its scales might not be the hardest, but they were thicker than the scales of a dragon. Not to mention, these scales could be reinforced with magic arrays to increase their defensive power. Once they were dismantled, each piece could be sold for a good price.
Rex put the gigantic beast's skull into his Divine Sieve Ring, and then he said, "There probably won't be any more powerful magical beasts here. Let's rest enough before we leave."
Nelis dissected the Ultralisk's body bit by bit. First, she pulled out the hardest scales on its back one by one. Once the Ultralisk was dead, without the help of the magic circle, these scales were much easier to remove.
The scales, which were twice the size of the wheels, were close to a meter thick. According to the ratio, it looked a little deformed. Nelis didn't hesitate to put these scales of the highest quality into her bracelet. Luckily, the bracelet she got from Ainphent was big enough. If she relied on Salin's Blessing Ring or Demon Ring, she wouldn't be able to store a few pieces at all.
The length of the beast's body exceeded twenty meters. Nelis pulled all the way down and removed all the scales on its back. Then, she started to peel off its skin. The magical beast's skin on its back was also of the highest quality. A magical beast's skin of this level could already withstand spells above level-seven if used to make scrolls.
Nelis directly cut a huge rectangle on the beast's skin, then tore it from its neck to its back. She rolled up the twenty-meter-long magical beast's skin into a bundle and put it all into her bracelet. Only someone with her strength could do this. Even Silva might not be able to do it.
Silva asked for a short knife and jumped onto the beast's back. She cut off dozens of pieces of meat and carried them on her shoulder.
"Silva, what are you doing?" Salin was a little puzzled. Was Silva going to learn from Nelis and start eating raw meat?
"I'm going to feed the dogs," Silva said and walked to the back alone.
"Be careful!" Salin wanted to stop her, but Silva waved her hand. She passed the eleven battle puppets and walked towards the magical beasts that had been following them. These magical beasts had been lying on the ground, but when they saw Silva approaching, they stood up one by one, bowed, and slowly retreated.
Silva threw the pieces of meat on her shoulder one by one, and the magical beasts retreated even faster. Silva laughed. She knew she had guessed correctly. These magical beasts were not going to attack, but to follow and take advantage of the situation. This was a common thing in the Caucasus region, especially the Mountain Demon Wolves, who liked to follow Caucasus hunters.
Many hunters couldn't take the large magical beasts they killed with them, so they could only take the most valuable parts. The rest of the carcass would be eaten by the demon wolves. Some demon wolves were even extremely smart and would help the Caucasus hunters drive away and intimidate their prey.
The leader of these magical beasts had been killed. Without the advantage of numbers, they would choose a safer way to hunt. Following Rex's team was also a good choice.
Silva returned to Salin's side alone. She said to Rex, "You can call back a few puppets. These magical beasts are here to take advantage of the situation. As long as we leave some spoils, they won't attack us."
Rex heaved a sigh of relief. He took out the tent and called back six puppets to guard the surroundings. Then, he left Nelis to work alone, and everyone took the time to rest.
Seeing that the others had gone to rest, Nelis smiled slyly. She tore open the muscles on the back of the huge beast, dug a bloody hole between the ribs, and crawled in. She quickly found the heart of the huge beast. Nelis stabbed wildly with her hands, tore open the heart, and fumbled inside.
Soon, her hands touched a hard object. This hard object had an irregular shape, and was a little smaller than an egg. Nelis swallowed it directly, and then went all the way down, destroying the body of the huge beast.
The huge beast's stomach was very big, like a room. The huge beast was already dead, so it wouldn't continue to secrete acid. Even if there was acid, Nelis wasn't afraid. She found Silva's boomerang, and then crawled out the way she came.
The creatures of the Demonic Plane were all very strong, and the capacity of their hearts was astonishing. The substance condensed from this heart was the favorite food of demons. Those level-four magical beasts were very different from the creatures of the Demonic Plane. Nelis was very familiar with this huge beast. From the appearance, this huge beast was very similar to the Korora beast of the Demonic Plane, but its body was dozens of times bigger.
The creatures of the Hell of God's Punishment were definitely related to the Demonic Plane. Nelis was now sure. However, these creatures weren't very strong. In the Demonic Plane, they were just the prey of demons.
Nelis swallowed the crystallized part of the huge beast's heart, and was very satisfied. If she could eat more, her strength would grow very quickly. Most of the time, demons weren't strong enough because their hearts weren't fully developed. She had just become an adult, and if she was still in the Demonic Plane, it would be the time to hunt frequently.
Nelis finally pulled out the sharp claws of the huge beast from the soles of its feet bit by bit. There was also a long tail, but Nelis wasn't interested. She climbed onto the back of the huge beast, and lay on the bloody flesh. She sniffed the sweet smell of blood and dozed off. This kind of happiness didn't exist in the Demonic Plane. In the Demonic Plane, little demons were always on guard between chasing and being chased. One moment, they were the hunters, and the next moment, they could be the prey.
Rex was the first to wake up. Her meditation law level was very high, and her energy recovered the fastest. She walked out of the tent, and could only shake her head helplessly when she saw the huge beast's corpse that Nelis had messed up. She summoned four puppets, took out the alchemy saw, and distributed it to the puppets, so that they could dissect the remaining scales and hide.
Not long after, Salin and Shika woke up too. Salin didn't meditate. He had a good sleep, and even used his family badge before going to sleep. After waking up, Salin felt full of energy. The fatigue caused by these days of nervousness had finally disappeared.
The huge beast's corpse had already been dissected, leaving only the muscles and organs. Most of the bones had been removed by the puppets, and Rex kept them in the God Sieve Ring.
Rex put away the tent, and looked at where Bai Meng and Holler were buried for a while. "Let's go," he said.
"Shika, follow Rex," Salin instructed in a low voice. At Rex's level, Shika wasn't very useful. However, in the face of sudden danger, a Caucasian warrior's sharp intuition was even more sensitive than a mage's.
Shika was a little unwilling, but he still followed Rex. Nelis grinned and stuck to Salin. She was very pleased. After eating the heart crystal, her power was indeed increasing slowly.
With the battle puppets in front, Rex led the team into the depths of the forest according to the predetermined direction. As they moved, the magical beasts behind them also moved, and they pounced on the huge beast's corpse excitedly.
After walking for five days, Rex carefully avoided the powerful magical beasts, and finally led everyone out of the forest. Five of the 11 battle puppets were lost, and only six were left, and all of them were injured. Putting aside the various magical beasts in the forest, in the last two days, Salin and the rest encountered a moving tree, and Rex was almost eaten by a man-eating tree.
As soon as they walked out of the forest, everyone's mood, which should have been relaxed, tensed up again by the scenery in front of them.
In front of them were broken walls and ruins, as if a village had been ravaged by bandits and giant dragons at the same time. There was a road covered with weeds, and what looked like human skeletons.
Under the gray sky, the scenery was even more desolate. There was a tall mountain in the distance, and they could vaguely see human buildings on the mountain.
Rex took out the alchemy binoculars and looked at the mountain. After a long time, she let out a long breath.
"What is it?" Salin's icy vision couldn't see that far, and he asked nervously.
"A magic tower, a ten-story magic tower." Rex's voice was a little stiff. In the Myers Continent, the highest magic tower was nine stories. Even if a mage broke through the boundary of level-9, they wouldn't build a ten-story magic tower. This was a taboo.
