After Omar and Maya explained, Caspian finally understood the ins and outs of the matter. After learning that the monsters slaughtered villages, the Heavenly Stars Sect immediately sent its elders to suppress it. In just a day, they effectively contained the monsters that slaughtered the villages and besieged towns. However, due to the large scope of monsters besieging towns, and it was relatively scattered, it might be an overreaction if the Heavenly Stars Sect sent out their elders or higher-level disciples.
The matter was already under control, so the Heavenly Stars Sect simply handed over the remaining task of eliminating the monsters to the apprentices, which also consisted of wild beasts.
Wild beasts were equivalent to True Martial Realm warriors, whereas monsters were equivalent to Pulse Control Realm cultivators. Since the Heavenly Stars Sect’s elders eliminated the powerful monsters, the remaining ones were only as powerful as apprentices. That way, the apprentices also had an opportunity for actual combat while they eradicated monsters.
Not only that, but the Heavenly Stars Sect was also extremely generous with the reward of the mission. As long as they could kill a monster, they would get one sect contribution points. As for wild beasts, they needed to kill five to get one sect contribution points. Then, the disciple could choose what to do with the corpses. With that, the benefits reaped after killing a monster were far more than just getting one sect contribution points. Hence, that was much more appropriate than doing those tiresome ordinary tasks every month, but only getting a few sect contribution points in the end.
Thus, as soon as the mission was deployed, many apprentices hurried over. After all, the number of monsters was limited. They not only had to fight against the disciples of the same sect but also from other South Earlington’s sects. Furthermore, the monsters would surely be insufficient for all of the disciples, so it was better for them to go sooner to prevent larger competitions and smaller rewards.
Due to that, Omar and the others immediately contacted each other after learning of the mission and looked for Caspian.
“Sure, but…” Caspian looked at the three of them.
Omar, Maya, and Solana, including Caspian himself, were ranked in the top ten of the recent spiritual apprentice list ranking competition. Based on their strength, they would not encounter danger if they went alone. However, not only were they teaming up, but they also invited Caspian along. That meant they plotted something that was not as simple as an ordinary disciple killing three monsters to finish the task.
“If the four of us are going together, there must be a big plan behind this, right?” Caspian asked.
“I knew you would’ve guessed it easily,” Omar clapped and smiled brightly, “You’re right. If the four of us head out together, it’d be too wasteful if we search for the wild beasts slowly like the other disciples. We might as well complete the mission alone. Since we’re teaming up, then we should directly go to where the monsters gather and kill about dozens of them at one go. That way, we won’t need to waste unnecessary time on the journey, and we’ll also be more efficient than others.”
Caspian nodded. Omar’s thoughts coincided with him, but he had another question. “Then, how do we know where the monsters gather?”
“Maya knows best.” Omar smiled mysteriously.
