Rustle
Nearby the group of foxes a sound suddenly put them on alert, the female fox however seemed to be unfazed as she looked towards the direction with a look of clarity. "I have an idea but first let us deal with the intruder."
"Yes missy." The other foxes quickly ran towards the direction of the sound.
Some time after they returned pulling a corpse, the older fox handed another beast core to the female fox. "Missy what should we do now?"
She quickly replied. "Tear apart the two beasts bodies and carry them with you for now, its time to create some chaos."
Not too far away Shadow's brother and sister continued their hunt, the brother walked through the forest keeping a lookout for any enemies while the sister stayed behind keeping him within her vision while trying to hide herself.
Their detection abilities could not compare to Korah and Shadow's so they could only use this tactic.
Jared stopped and a brown energy wrapped around his body while he took up a defensive stance.
Not too long after came an ambush from behind, just as the beast was about to reach him Zephyr ran behind it to push its body away.
During this brief opening during combat, Jared turned his body towards the beast and began to focus most of his energy into his antlers as he turned to hit the beast which had not yet stabilised from its fall.
The beast tried to get back to its feet but Jared's antlers pinned it to the ground, Zephyr appeared by its head coating her front hooves with her wind spirit energy increasing their sharpness.
Zephyr lifted her front legs upwards and then brought them back down upon the head of the beast, then continued to attack again until it stopped its struggle and lay there lifelessly..
Since it had died Jared released the beast and they both began to dig into the body of the beast and then take out the beast core.
"Brother we got another one, you make such great bait! But how about we switch roles this time? Pleeeease? You can protect me this time!" Zephyr spoke excitedly while looking upon another medium grade 1 beast core.
"No." Jared said with a stern look on his face.
"Just once!" Zephyr looked teary eyed at her brother.
"No!" Jared enforced his words again.
"So mean! Why?!" Zephyr whined.
"Dangerous." Jared warned.
"Hmph." Zephyr snorted.
Zephyr began to walk off until Jared spoke again. "Come back."
"What is wrong now?" Zephyr began to walk by his side.
"Problem nearby. Fighting." Jared looked towards the sounds of some beasts fighting eachother.
Shorter chapter this time, had a hard time writing so took a long time to get this together to prepare for the next parts.
