781 Opening Of The Tomb Of The Ancient (Part 1)

"Damn, those two were just rank one and rank two core evolvers. Maybe they have already been eaten by some monsters of the Dark Forest."

"Even if they are dead, we still have to keep looking for them. They escaped with the Enlightenment Stone, so if we find their storage ring, hehehe..."

"What the hell is going on here?" Cedar asked in a shocked voice, looking at a holographic screen in front of him. Evan stood beside him, also looking at the holographic screen with a stunned expression on his face.

"Not only did they steal the Enlightenment Stone, they even stole a Rank Three airship."

"There is also a chance that this is not their first robbery, and we might be able to find something even better in their storage ring."

"By the way, are we not going to look for that secret realm?"

"Screw the secret realm. If we can catch those two bastards, we can live our lives in luxury without worrying about anything."

Evan and Cedar looked sideways and saw Sylvan staring at them with a serious expression.

"Grandpa, this..." Cedar pointed at the screen in front of him and tried to speak. After hearing the conversation of the people on the screen, he could already guess what was happening, but he still wanted to confirm it with Sylvan.

Sylvan sighed when he saw Cedar's shocked look and nodded his head.

"Yes, these people are looking for you. Actually, not only these..." Sylvan said, and the scene on the holographic screen changed, showing the entrance of the Dark Forest.

When the entrance of the Dark Forest appeared on the holographic screen, Evan and Cedar's mouths opened wide in shock as they saw tens of thousands of people camping outside the forest.

The scene on the screen once again changed, showing different groups searching inside the forest. They even saw some groups of monsters moving inside the forest in patterns as if they were looking for something.

"According to what I found in the past few days, the owner of the Auction House from where you stole the Enlightenment Stone had placed a huge bounty on both of you, which is why there are so many people looking for you in the Dark Forest."

"A bounty..." Evan and Cedar were shocked when they heard Sylvan, and Cedar asked in a stunned voice, "What is the amount of the bounty?"

Sylvan's mouth twitched uncontrollably when he heard Cedar, and he said while rubbing his eyebrow, "Sixty million high-level essence stones."

""Fu*k..."" Evan and Cedar cursed at the same time when they heard the amount of the bounty and looked at the screen with speechless look on their faces.

"Wait a minute..." Suddenly, something clicked in Cedar's mind, and he looked at the holographic screen once again.

"Earlier, I heard them talking about a secret realm. Don't tell me..." He said, looking at a group of people who were talking about the secret realm.

"Although I am not certain, the possibility is very high that they are talking about our closed world," Sylvan said and narrowed his eyes. "You two went out a month ago, right?"

Evan and Cedar looked at each other upon hearing Sylvan and nodded their heads.

"Were you noticed by someone when you opened the portal of the closed world?" Sylvan inquired.

"I scanned our surroundings before opening the portal, but I didn't sense anyone's presence near us at that time..." Cedar replied upon hearing Sylvan. "... But it's possible that someone with much higher spiritual power than me was hiding nearby, and I wasn't able to sense them using my spiritual senses."

Sylvan fell deep into thought upon hearing Cedar's explanation. After a moment of contemplation, he sighed and shook his head.

"Forget about it. From what I found in the last few days, no one knows that we are living here. There is a possibility that some people spread rumours about a secret world to distract others and catch you, while others search for the secret realm. There is also a possibility that someone accidentally saw the portal that you opened, but it closed before they could understand what it was."

Evan and Cedar thought about what Sylvan just said and found it plausible.

If a powerful person had been hiding nearby when Cedar opened the portal, they would have likely entered the closed world along with them.

The closed world is under Sylvan's control and if anyone had entered the closed world along with them, Sylvan would have detected their presence immediately.

"I mainly called you guys here to tell you not to go outside for the time being and to stay here," Sylvan instructed Evan and Cedar. "The Tomb of the Ancient will open soon. Once it opens, the commotion in the Dark Forest will slowly die down, so don't leave the closed world for now."

Evan and Cedar looked at the holographic screen and seeing so many people, both of them nodded their heads.

They could see that many Rank Three core evolvers were also searching for them in the forest, and leaving the closed world would be very dangerous for them.

'So, I can't go out for the time being, huh...' Evan said to himself and sighed.

The cooldown timer for the authority, All Zero, had ended yesterday, which meant he could use the Reaper's Wrath skill once again.

He wanted to maximize his stat points by hunting down some monsters, but now that he can't leave the closed world, it will be impossible for him to increase his stat points using the active effect of the Reaper's Wrath skill.

Seeing Evan and Cedar nodding their heads, Sylvan smiled and waved his hand. "All right, you guys can go back now."

Evan and Cedar turned around upon hearing Sylvan and started to leave. While leaving, Evan suddenly thought of something and stopped.

'Since I am here, I might as well talk to him about the Tomb of the Ancient...' He thought to himself and looked back at Sylvan.
