Chapter - 3356

After they had ensured the vicinity was safe, they quickly moved forward to investigate.

Zeke was the first to examine the body of a human cultivator, his face revealing a hint of regret as he shook his head.

"They must have been rogue cultivators, who,. due to their lack of strength, formed a team. However, they were discovered by the depraved spirits. After a night of intense battle, they eventually met their demise."

Anvindr and Elvis had also examined the corpse, their expressions grim.

"Indeed, it must be so. Thankfully, we have our trump cards and were well hidden. Otherwise, we might have ended up just like them. It's a pity. Though they were rogue cultivators, they seemed to possess considerable strength."

For them to have reached such a level of skill despite being rogue cultivators, Zeke couldn't help but admire them.

Thus, everyone felt a sense of regret about the deaths. The dead were, after all, humans just like them.

In an act of goodwill, Zeke took whatever was useful from the bodies, including the badges that served as proof of their identities.

“After I return, I'll relay this news to their family..."

Letting out a sigh, Zeke was filled with a sense of helplessness.

If they had teamed up with us, they wouldn't have encountered such a dangerous situation.

Anvindr was also a master of concealment formations, and Zeke had his own ways of hiding. Elvis also had some special treasures. Each one in their group had their own trump cards to face such a situation.

Thus, protecting this group of people was no problem at all.

Obviously, the devastation served as a wake- up call for Zeke and his companions. They understood that when night fell, they would have to be even more cautious in setting up their concealment formations.

They continued their journey, and after traversing another dozen miles, they surprisingly encountered a Sun and Moon Class Demonic Toad.

"It seems that the Demonic Toads here wouldn't only appear at night. Some would also show up during the day," Zeke remarked.

"Let's kill it immediately!"

As he let out a low grunt, the group immediately sprang into action without any hesitation.

Elvis summoned his flying sword, while Anvindr waved his hand, setting up a formation. Zeke, on the other hand, launched a punch.

Face with the collaborative onslaught, the Demonic Toad was overwhelmed.

In a few moments, it was swiftly taken down and dissolved into heaven's energy.

The energy would stay for a limited duration, as it couldn't persist indefinitely. Therefore, after Zeke obtained it, he allocated more than half of it to the other two and began to absorb the rest.

Both Anvindr and Elvis did the same.

Everyone absorbed it quickly, even going so far as to forcibly swallow pills to boost their spiritual energy within, all in an effort to increase their absorption speed.

For them, danger was potentially lurking in every corner, necessitating them to act cautiously and swiftly.

After absorbing it all, Elvis burst into hearty laughter, showering Zeke with endless praises.

"Zeke, I truly underestimated you and Anvindr. I initially thought it would take a considerable effort, but to my surprise, we easily dealt with a Sun and Moon Class Demonic Toad. It was truly unexpected."

Their collaboration appeared to be seamless.

Elvis' swordsmanship allowed him to attack from a distance, draining the power of the Demonic Toad.

Meanwhile, Anvindr's formation was capable of restricting the movements of the Demonic Toad.

Although Anvindr was no match for Zeke, his true strength didn't lie in physical combat but in formation art.

Zeke's skills were extraordinary. Relying on his own formidable strength, he single- handedly killed the oppressed Demonic Toad.

This further attested to Zeke's strength, which was likely not far behind Elvis'.

The corners of Anvindr's mouth, however, were twitching.

Zeke was incredibly powerful, a fact he clearly understood. However, he never imagined that the former was so strong that he was capable of slaying a Sun and Moon Class Demonic Toad effortlessly.

Although he and Elvis had lent a hand, they had only managed to suppress, at most, half of the Demonic Toad's power.

Given that Zeke is so powerful, why did he have to act so weak in front of Octantis?

Arvindr was truly at a loss.
