Chapter 87 Gray Cultists
At this moment, in the northernmost part of the Dead Swamp, in a dense forest, there was silence.

"Has it been dealt with?" an old man in a gray robe with a hoarse voice spoke.

Around them, three Ascended believers wearing the same gray robes responded one after another.

"No leader of the demonic beasts has been found within a few miles. Plan One has been implemented. All of them have been killed and their bodies disposed of."

"The surrounding area has been checked and no students were found."

"A four-man poaching team was spotted three miles to the west. We have already communicated with them."

"Yes," the gray-robed old man nodded and said, "It's done. The next action must be secret. We are all part of a group that has been teleported to the north side of the secret realm. According to the order of the deacon, the four of us who remain will be responsible for matters in the north."

"Now, take out all your things. I'm going to prepare for the ceremony."

The three gray-robed believers nodded in response: "Got it."

At the same time, they took out boxes and opened them. Inside were pieces of stone fragments of various shapes, which were relatively thin overall.

Seeing this, the gray-robed old man looked in other directions, thinking in his heart.

The progress on the north side is going smoothly now, so there shouldn't be any problems. I just don't know how the other directions are going. It will be troublesome if they mess up, the gray-robed old man thought, frowning as he looked at the box beside him.

……

As night fell, Ding Zilin and her group came out from Lin Xiyue's place with sad faces.

The original idea was good, just find a safe place to rest for a night, but who knew that the monsters in the dense forest became much more aggressive for some reason, causing them to rush all the way north and couldn't find a good place to rest for a long time.

"My spirit pet senses that there are no monsters around. Why don't we just rest here today?" a boy said.

Hearing this, the long-haired girl following closely behind Ding Zilin looked around and said uncertainly, "It looks quite eerie in here. Do we really want to rest here?"

A boy shook his head and shouted, "It's been so gloomy all the way here. We finally found a place to rest, so we should rest quickly, otherwise it will be the next day."

The other few tired people nodded in response, saying that they had been walking in fear for so long and should rest as soon as possible.

Seeing everyone's opinions, Ding Zilin finally nodded and said, "Okay then, let's rest here today. Everyone, clean up a bit, and I'll arrange for someone to keep watch later."

After confirming everything, everyone became excited and hurried to clean the floor, eager to have a good night's rest.

At this moment, nearly a thousand meters away, a young man among the four Ascended believers suddenly opened his eyes and began to speak: "The shadow thread released by my spirit pet just now was torn apart. Something must have come here."

In front of them, several pieces of stone were floating in the air, emitting an extremely faint silver light, attracting the power of the void to flow into them. Under the stone pieces, pieces of scrapped spirit crystals were placed in a disorderly manner.

Watching the stone shards continuously absorbing energy from the void of the secret realm, the gray-robed elder with the most imposing aura opened his eyes and said solemnly, "Black Crow, have your spirit pet go and see what exactly has come to us."

"Okay!" The man codenamed Black Crow communicated with his spirit pet. In the sky, an elite black shadow night crow flew silently in one direction. Not long after, it flew to the place where Ding Zilin and others were resting.

In front of the Black Shadow Night Raven, skilled at concealing its presence, the student's pet, skilled at detecting through perception, was completely useless, especially since it was hidden high in the sky. At the Gray Cultist's location, the man codenamed Black Crow closed his eyes and said, "It's a group of nine students, one of whom has an elite pet. Judging by their actions, they seem to be planning to stay overnight."

He is gifted with the ability to share vision with his spirit pet. It seems to be a useless talent, but sometimes it can still be useful. In addition to sharing vision, he has also developed other functions, making him a leader in the fields of conveying information and exploration.

After listening to this, the gray-robed old man frowned slightly. He didn't want to deal with those students at all while the ceremony was in progress, but since they had come here, he couldn't let them go. He must not let any accidents happen during the ceremony.

After thinking about it, the old man said, "Black Crow, didn't you discover a group of four poachers earlier? Go check if they're still there. If they are, tell them the location of those students. The hyenas will definitely be very interested in them."

The Black Crow man closed his eyes and nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."

The dark shadows of the night crows in the distant sky turned into swift black shadows and flew across the horizon.

……

On a giant tree inside the Dead Swamp, three men and one woman were wearing masks and smiling happily.

"Boss, you're really awesome. Going to look for students is too much trouble. It would be better to just hunt down the young monsters here."

"Yeah, I didn't expect the monsters here to be of such high quality. Our harvest in just this afternoon is equivalent to what we harvested in the previous six months."

The monkey-faced masked man, who was called the boss, grinned and laughed, "Hahaha, this is all thanks to everyone. Without you stopping those elite monsters, I wouldn't have the chance to hunt those extraordinary monster cubs they were protecting."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the treetops smiled excitedly when they thought of their previous harvest.

At this time, the only female, a woman wearing a white mask, asked, "We've assassinated all the good monster tribes around us this afternoon. Should we move to another place tomorrow?"

The monkey-masked man said matter-of-factly, "That's for sure. We've already harvested quite a few extraordinary people from those tribes. They're very wary now. Going there again would be risky, and the harvest wouldn't be much either. So we'll definitely have to move to another location tomorrow."

A man in a blue mask nodded and said, "Just do as the boss said. Let's go somewhere else to make money tomorrow. Let's rest up today. My spirit pet got a little injured when we stopped those elite monsters, and it hasn't recovered yet."

The last man with a black face and mask nodded in agreement. According to the monkey-faced man's method, except for himself, the other three people stopped the elite members of the monster tribe, while the monkey-faced man's pet went to ambush and harvest the extraordinary monster cubs. This method was indeed very good and suitable for them, but they ambush too many monster tribes in one afternoon, so that several of their pets were injured and have not recovered yet.

"Okay, let's do this. Lanmian, your spirit pet is good at perception, so I'll leave the night watch to you. Is that ok?" The monkey-faced man said in a deep voice. Among the four people, he and Lanmian were in the same team outside, and the other two joined in the secret realm. He was not at ease letting the other two keep watch alone.

The blue-faced man immediately said, "No problem. Leave your safety to me tonight."

At this moment, a beam of black light flashed across the sky, and then a dark and glowing shadow of a night crow appeared in the sky. Then a beam of light poured out from the night crow's eyes and quickly faced the monkey-faced man.

"This must be the spiritual pet of those believers, what did it say just now?" Since this was the second time he saw this situation, the blue-faced man knew that this was a message and did not panic.

At this time, the monkey-faced man covered his forehead and shook it, then looked up at Night Crow and said, "Don't worry, we will go and take care of those little guys."

Then, under the puzzled gazes of the others, the monkey-faced man smiled and said, "Nothing, just another chance to make some money."
