Chapter - 3352

Zeke watched with a furrowed brow. Once Anvindr succeeded, he couldn't help but speak up.

"Isn't this a bit time-consuming? It took so long."

"Time-consuming? This is far from time- consuming,” Anvindr exclaimed. “Zeke, the heaven's energy you gave me just now is comparable to the results of several months of my hard cultivation."

"Okay, I probably know how to absorb the heaven's energy here. Instead of calling it heaven's energy, it's more like dark energy. Wait a moment, I'll catch two more Demonic Toads, and we'll absorb them together," Zeke said.

Zeke harbored no selfish thoughts. Since Anvindr chose to follow him, he felt obliged to reciprocate with benefits.

"Thank you, Zeke!"

Anvindr was moved, feeling much more grateful to Zeke. His previous resentment had also eased a lot.

Even if he risked his life, he might not have been able to kill that Demonic Toad just now. It was so precious.

Zeke actually gave him the heaven's energy of the Demonic Toad without hesitation.

Although Zeke had his own thoughts and calculations, Anvindr was still very grateful. Following Zeke indeed had its perks! Shortly after, Zeke seized the opportunity and struck twice in a row.

He brought back two strands of heaven's energy and absorbed them together.

Zeke indeed felt an increase in his strength. Although it wasn't a monumental change for him, it was still quite significant.

After the two of them had finished absorbing, it was already daytime.

The swamp gradually quieted down, with fewer depraved spirits and Demonic Toads.

Zeke was puzzled. Where did these spirits go?

He didn't dwell on it any further. After Anvindr had made the necessary preparations, they continued their journey deeper into the Dark Swamp.

This time, Anvindr didn't utter a single word of nonsense and was more obedient.

"Zeke, we need to be even more cautious. Since we can already see the depraved spirits at night, we must upgrade the formation and hide better. There are even more depraved spirits inside." Anvindr spoke up cautiously on the way.

Zeke gave a slight nod.

"You're right."

He took out the formation flag he had confiscated from Anvindr before and threw it to him.

"Here you go. Tonight, you'll set up the formation."

It wasn't that Zeke trusted Anvindr. Their relationship hadn't reached that point. Zeke understood that they were in the same boat now.

Since they had reached the outskirts of the Dark Swamp, it wasn't easy to leave. They needed to cooperate with each other to reap greater rewards.

Anvindr was greedy and wouldn't be satisfied with just harvesting two strands of heaven's energy.

Therefore, Zeke wasn't worried that he would play any tricks.

Since the precious formation flag was returned, Zeke also returned other useless things he had confiscated before.

Anvindr's face was flushed with excitement.

With the formation flag and his previous treasures at his disposal, he was truly able to show his prowess.

"Don't worry, Zeke. I won't let your trust go to waste. Let's put aside past grievances and cooperate well!" Anvindr solemnly spoke.

"Good, I believe you can overcome any obstacles. Our ultimate goal is the Demonic Lotus!"

"That's right, the Demonic Lotus!"

This time, Anvindr seemed to be filled with hope and was suddenly excited.

The two of them cautiously continued on their way, walking for several hours.

Suddenly, an unusual sound echoed from the surroundings.

Unconsciously, both of them looked in the direction of the sound.

Over there, a young man in a robe was also perched in a tree, watching the two of them from dozens of meters away.

They looked at each other, their expressions awkward.

They were so close to each other, yet they only just discovered each other.

It seemed that they were quite adept at keeping themselves hidden.

"Would you two gentlemen be interested in a collaboration?" the young man asked, breaking the silence with a subtle smile.

"Cooperate?" Zeke looked pensive and asked, "Let's not talk about that for now. I just want to ask why are you here?"
