Chapter - 3361

After a considerable amount of time, they finally managed to secure the formation.

However, that approach left everyone utterly exhausted. Moreover, a considerable amount of valuable resources had been used up.

"Zeke, we've already encountered a depraved spirit at the late stage of the Sun and Moon Class just here," Elvis said with a shudder. "I can't even begin to imagine what we'll find if we continue further in."

"That's right. Moreover, we can't afford to set up our formation anew every time we advance in the night. It's too draining. If the formation isn't set up properly, there's a high chance we could end up in a major battle."

The current situation was vastly different from before.

Previously, setting up the formation didn't significantly drain their resources.

However, at that moment, Zeke alone had forked out a large amount of resources, causing him to feel slightly distressed.

I'm afraid even those top prodigies can't easily hide themselves. Zeke's brows furrowed as he began to sink deep into thought.

Not long after, he began to speak slowly. "We're surely not the only ones facing such troubles. Other teams and those top prodigies will undoubtedly encounter the same issues. They'll definitely set up their own temporary camps."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zeke continued, “Given the circumstances, we don't have any other options. Tomorrow, we'll move forward a bit more and then set up a better formation to establish our camp. From then on, we'll operate within the vicinity of the camp."

Zeke's idea was straightforward. He wanted to establish a temporary camp as a means of protection for them.

As long as they could return to the camp before nightfall, there wouldn't be any issues.

"Okay!" Everyone agreed with Zeke's idea and began to rest.

The very next morning, they resumed their journey. This time, they didn't dawdle, and by the afternoon, they had reached the outskirts of the Dark Swamp where the prodigies had once dwelled.

Zeke found an inconspicuous cave and led everyone inside. Then, they began to construct a formation.

By preparing in advance, many dangers could be avoided.

They were considered fortunate. After the formation was successfully set up, various depraved spirits began to pass by intermittently. One even happened to be right above their cave but was oblivious to their presence.

The outskirts of the hinterland had significantly reduced in size compared to the periphery of the Dark Swamp.

As such, everyone could perceive the traces left behind by the cultivators.

The fluctuations of a battle could be felt several miles away from where they were. The conflict lasted for a substantial amount of time.

"It seems someone is hunting depraved spirits," Anvindr said, his eyes filled with curiosity.

He was eager to find out who that top prodigy was, who dared to hunt in this place for such a long time. Isn't he afraid that his actions will attract the attention of more depraved spirits?

"Let's check it out tomorrow and observe the situation again tonight." Zeke grew cautious.

Just like that, another night had passed.

The next day, they quickly rushed to where the noise had originated.

The landscape there had already been shattered, with marshy soil covering the ground everywhere. There were also numerous corpses of Sun and Moon Class depraved spirits.

Upon witnessing that scene, everyone was left utterly astounded.

"Considering this person's combat power, they should already attain the peak of Sun and Moon Class, right?"

"That should be the case. If one surpasses the Sun and Moon Class, the battle can easily be concluded. The martial houses don't possess the great ability to dispatch cultivators beyond the Sun and Moon Class here. Unless the person successfully broke through here."

"Oh?" Frostine noticed something unusual at that moment. "It seems there's some residual heaven's energy left, but the remnants of the energy are too faint."

Zeke and his companions quickly noticed that. Their hearts were instantly stirred, and they hurried to capture that heaven's energy.

This time, they didn't dare to boldly absorb it right there. Instead, they waited until they returned before beginning the absorption.

The power that was left behind was substantial, comparable to what they would have gained from three to four days out in the field.

After Anvindr finished absorbing, he suddenly felt that scavenging heaven's energy wasn't too bad.

"Zeke, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could do this every day?" Anvindr's eyes sparkled with delight as he flashed a beaming smile. At this rate, I'll be able to advance to the next class within a month.

Everyone else felt the same way.
