Soon, Ilya controlled the soil and rocks to disperse. Qin Xiao checked the vicinity again for a while, but did not find any other Golden Jade Mantises. He was still somewhat disappointed.
After collecting the blood copper ore from the middle of the cave and searching the cave for a while to make sure nothing was missing, Qin Xiao followed Ilya out of the cave.
Soon, they emerged from the cave. It was getting dark outside. Qin Xiao looked around but couldn't see Ye Qingya and the other person.
Qin Xiao frowned slightly. Did they have to travel this far to collect blood copper ore?
"Your Excellency Mayor!"
Qin Xiao's voice echoed through the dense forest.
After a long silence, Qin Xiao had a bad feeling. He rode Ilya around the area again and found the mark.
Qin Xiao took a look and realized that the words were probably carved by the mayor, since the natives of this secret realm did not understand the language of Huawu Kingdom.
“Xiao Qin, a group of strange people have arrived. I suspect they are the cult that General Hu warned about. They have kidnapped Slovic. I’m going to follow them to check. When you come out, follow the marker.”
Damn it, Qin Xiao punched the tree trunk, speechless.
No wonder this girl is so proactive; she must have some trouble clinging to her.
"I hope the mayor won't act impulsively. Let that princess die," Qin Xiao thought to himself as he mounted Ilya.
“Let’s go, Ilya, let’s catch up and take a look. Pay attention to the markings on the trees.”
Soon, Ilya was running through the woods, following the markers as she ventured deeper into the forest, a strange feeling creeping into her heart.
These bastards came to capture the Swan Clan's royalty, but they're not leaving the forest after capturing them. Why the hell are they running in the opposite direction?
Where are we going?
Soon, Ilya's speed clearly surpassed that of the others and Ye Qingya, and Qin Xiao caught up with the mayor in no time.
Looking at the mayor, who was perched on a tree branch with a solemn expression, Qin Xiao covered his face, wanting to say, "Mayor, you've exposed yourself!"
Although beneath those loose shorts was a fiery red fur.
Ye Qingya gestured to Qin Xiao and jumped down from the tree.
"Xiao Qin, you're here. Those cultists are still resting up ahead, I don't know what they're doing."
Qin Xiao's expression was sullen. "Let's go."
As he spoke, he lifted Ye Qingya onto the horse's back and prepared to leave.
Ye Qingya said quickly in a low voice, "Wait, Xiao Qin, are we just leaving like this?"
Qin Xiao shrugged. "Of course, this is their 'family matter,' and we have no reason to get involved. Besides, the Evil God Cult gives me the creeps just thinking about it; it's not worth it."
Ye Qingya jumped off her horse. "Xiao Qin, I've checked this group. Only two of them are Platinum level; the rest are Silver or Gold level characters."
We can completely deal with them. Everyone should do their utmost to eliminate cults, and we also have troops stationed and active in this world.
"If they live, the people of our Huawu Kingdom will also be at risk, and it will be too late to regret it then."
Qin Xiao frowned. "But what if we get involved in this kind of thing and it affects the Dimensional Army's strategy?"
Ye Qingya shook her head and tapped her bracelet.
"Hey, this is a message that General Hu couldn't say directly before. Take a look. He's already instructed me that if I encounter any cult members, I shouldn't hold back and should just attack them directly. This cult and the Blood Spirit Society share the same faith, and it might get involved in the Blood Spirit Society's dirty business, which would be a real problem."
"The Blood Spirit Society? The Blood Spirit Society can get involved with otherworldly beings?"
Ye Qingya's expression was grave. "I don't know what's going on, but many of these cultists from other worlds are connected, and some even have direct links."
There must be an organization connected to them, but I don't have the authority to access that information.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xiao decided to take action.
Just as the mayor said, these cultists could indeed threaten those who enter the secret realm later. They always enjoy the secret realm that others have cleaned up, so it's not like they can't do the same thing themselves.
"Alright then, but no matter what happens later, even if that woman is in danger, we can't act rashly. Our goal is to kill those two Platinum-level enemies, is that alright?"
To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Qin Xiao confirmed in advance.
Ye Qingya rolled her eyes dramatically. "Do you think I'm some kind of brainless little girl? Of course, our safety is the priority. That princess isn't from Huawu Kingdom. I'm doing these things from Huawu Kingdom's perspective."
Qin Xiao nodded, "That's good. Let's go then. I'll deal with one, you deal with one, and leave the rest to Youyou. Don't let them activate the sacrifice."
By the end, Qin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine; he still felt lingering fear at the blurry eyes of that evil god.
"good!"
Without further ado, after agreeing on the terms, Qin Xiao immediately led her towards the other party's base.
In less than three minutes, even with the ability to conceal their movements and slow down, they quickly arrived at the enemy's base.
These cult members were all ugly and deformed, but what was interesting was that they were all male orcs.
Good heavens, this is internal strife. But wasn't it said that no males in this world surpass the Gold rank?
What's going on with this group of Gold-tier characters?
As they approached the camp, loud shouts and noises could be heard.
"Haha, Abari, now that we've captured the Swan Clan's princess, our mission will be complete once we bring her to the crypt. Who knows, the High Priest might reward us with ten Night Elves! Woohoo~"
As he spoke, the pig-headed man let out a shriek, but the bear-headed man he called Abari didn't really react much.
"It's all for my God, my God gave me new life!"
As he spoke, his expression was fanatical, and the pig-headed man also pursed his lips and muttered a few words in response.
He abandoned Abari and turned to walk toward Slovic, who was tied to a tree.
"What does it feel like for a beautiful princess to be captured by a filthy, ugly male? Hahaha, ridiculous!"
Without dirty, ugly males, you couldn't even reproduce! The royal family went extinct long ago!
"Once the sacrificial ceremony is complete, I will utterly desecrate your corpse!"
As it spoke, foul-smelling saliva dripped from its gaping tusks.
Slovic turned his head away, avoiding the other person's foul-smelling breath, his expression ashen.
Her plan backfired; she was kidnapped by the cult while collecting blood copper ore. Perhaps those two otherworldly beings never even caught up with her.
She messed up such a great opportunity. Sister, please forgive me. I shouldn't have confronted her directly and couldn't control my own trivial preferences and thoughts.
I hope you can win the help of the otherworldly beings, purge the cultists, and restore peace to the Beast Spirit World.
Slovich thought dejectedly, almost losing all hope.
Just as the pig-headed man was huffing and puffing as he prepared to return to the campfire to eat, a huge tree-man suddenly appeared, its arms, several meters long, twisting and clawing at the bear-headed man Abari with a cracking sound.
Roars and flames ripped through the darkness of the dense forest.
