Just like that, a fourth layer Bramble Lynx was killed by Kang Shin-mu.
The devouring power surged into the lynx's body, continuously devouring its flesh and blood essence into the black dragon's body. The lynx, which had already been seriously injured by Jiang Qingyun, didn't last long. After struggling for a moment, it lost all signs of life.
Kang Shin-mu didn't hesitate. After extracting the Demon Core from the lynx's body, he returned to his human form and continued to hide in the dense forest.
Of course, he couldn't just leave like that. In any case, Jiang Qingyun still didn't know who was secretly following them and stealing their prey, so Kang Shin-mu naturally had to continue. If he didn't steal more of the lynx's Demon Core, how could he face the Dragon Warrior Jiang Haisheng of the Grand Prince Mansion?
Although Kang Shin-mu didn't know Jiang Haisheng before, he was still a member of the Grand Prince Mansion. The Demon Core he obtained represented the Grand Prince Mansion's points.
Jiang Qingyun's stealing had already harmed Kang Shin-mu's interests. If he didn't respond, wouldn't he be too weak?
In any case, Jiang Shenwu would never be willing to let the Grand Prince's Palace fall into the bottom three during this Demon-Slaying Expedition. They had to at least be in second place. Furthermore, he wanted to surpass the Northern Residence that Jiang Liuxue was in.
Only by getting first place in the demon-slaying training would the Dragon Warriors of the Grand Prince Mansion be able to cultivate the highest grade of dragon martial skills. Only then would Kang Shin-mu be able to rush to a higher level.
His current foundation was too weak. If he couldn't cultivate the highest grade of dragon martial skills, how could he compete with the other Dragon Warriors in the future?
If he wanted to improve the grade and size of his Black Dragon heritage blood essence, he needed to devour the Divine Dragon heritage blood essence of other Dragon Warriors. Since Kang Shin-mu had obtained the Black Dragon's devouring power, he was destined to walk this path.
Kang Shin-mu continued to hide in the Heavendrive Forest.
On the other side, Jiang Qingyun transformed into a navy blue saber dragon and quickly killed the remaining two third layer Thorns Lynx Earth Demons. He saved his two subordinates and gave them two healing pills for them to consume.
Kang Shin-mu couldn't obtain the beast cores of these two Thorny Bobcats because he had just killed the Thorny Bobcat leader and obtained the beast core of the 4th layer Earth Demon.
"In any case, I still have time to play with them. I'll put these two aside for now."
Kang Shin-mu secretly observed the situation. Jiang Qingyun did not suffer any injuries, nor did he lose much of his strength. However, his two followers had suffered serious injuries. If they wanted to continue, they would have to rest for at least two hours.
During this period of time, Jiang Qingyun naturally didn't dare to casually leave. Otherwise, his two followers wouldn't just be injured. It had to be known that there were dangers everywhere in the Heavendrive Forest.
Once they lost Jiang Qingyun's protection, the two who were taking healing pills to recuperate would most likely be targeted by various demonic beasts and die without a burial place.
Therefore, Jiang Qingyun could only stay behind while cursing and being vigilant of the surroundings.
He was naturally unhappy that the Thorny Bobcat leader had run away, but he definitely wouldn't be able to catch it now. There was no need to worry about the beast core. In any case, it wasn't particularly difficult for him to deal with a fourth layer Earth Demon. There was no need to risk the lives of his subordinates.
His followers were still very useful to him. He didn't want to lose them just like that.
For the next two hours, Kang Shin-mu didn't appear. Instead, he hid to the side, constantly observing Jiang Qingyun's actions. Since he was going to snatch food from the dragon's mouth, he naturally had to observe his opponent's every move.
After a certain period of observation, Kang Shin-mu could understand a lot about Jiang Qingyun, such as his personality, patience, and so on. In these two hours, Jiang Qingyun had cursed his two subordinates at least a hundred times. It could be seen that this person's temper was quite violent.
This was a relatively favorable situation for Kang Shin-mu, because the more violent the opponent was, the more likely it was that he would ignore certain things due to anger. This made it so that even if Kang Shin-mu revealed some clues, the opponent wouldn't necessarily discover it was him.
Of course, being violent didn't mean being careless. Kang Shin-mu couldn't be careless because of this.
When Jiang Qingyun's two subordinates finished healing their injuries, the three finally set off again. Soon, they arrived near the corpse of the third layer Thorns Bobcat Earth Demon that Kang Shin-mu had dragged away for the first time. Jiang Qingyun couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"If I find out who that guy is, I'll definitely make him die a horrible death!"
Jiang Qingyun really didn't expect that someone would dare to snatch such an Earth Demon's monster core from his hands. Obviously, only he was qualified to snatch it from others.
Jiang Shenwu followed closely behind him, but when he heard Jiang Qingyun's words, he thought to himself, 'Even if I appeared in front of him now and told him that I was the one who took the Yao Core, would Jiang Qingyun really dare to kill me?'
After all, not everyone was as deranged as Jiang Cheng.
Before making a move against a dragon martial artist, everyone would carefully consider the pros and cons.
However, Kang Shin-mu's next action had to be more covert. After all, after the first time, the other party would definitely be vigilant. If Kang Shin-mu continued to act rashly like before, his identity would definitely be discovered by the other party.
Although it didn't matter if his identity was discovered, if the other party knew that it was Kang Shin-mu who was hiding in the dark, they would specifically guard against him, making it more difficult for him to act.
Therefore, now Kang Shin-mu had a plan in mind. He was no longer simply tracking like before, because it was too passive. If Jiang Qingyun and the others' next battle was particularly smooth, he would certainly not have any chance to snatch the monster core.
In this case, Kang Shin-mu had to create conditions to make the next battle of Jiang Qingyun and the others not smooth!
In the Sky Herald Forest, every few dozen miles was the territory of a Demonic Beast tribe. Soon, Jiang Qingyun and the others left the territory of the Thorny Lynx and went to the territory of the next Earth Demon.
This area belonged to a Flying Demonic Beast tribe. When Jiang Qingyun and the others entered this area, there were already many Flying Demonic Beasts alarmed from the trees and flew toward the area.
These Flying Demonic Beasts were not strong, but it was obvious that the strongest Flying Demonic Beasts must be in the center of this area!
If someone intruded into this area, all the flying demon beasts would know about it. The flying demon beasts in this area didn't only have one race, but were divided into several types. It was unknown how many flying demon beasts at the fourth layer of the Earth Demon Realm were in this area.
Seeing the other party step into this area, Kang Shin-mu quietly left to the side. The plan he had just thought of could almost be implemented!
