?After getting all the information, Jacob turned the brainy imp into ashes before collecting its magic core.
'Life Pens, huh? Although this place is a treasure trove for dark beings, it has no use for at all. Instead, I need to head into the ho bases of the Dark Beings if I want to earn so profit.
'The dark beings of unique rank present here around five thousand and all of them are like these, guarding the life pens. It won't be long before they notice this place, and if they thought I co here to liberate these people, they will co in droves.
'Instead, if I begin to hunt on the inhabited islands of the dark beings' races, I have more room for breathing. Since they would hesitate to report their own incompetence…'
After making his decision, Jacob took a look at the projection of the village in the do, and he was about to leave before an idea popped up in his mind. He used his star watch and began to make a video of the entire life pen.
Once he was done, he quickly left in the sa way where he ca from. He was no longer interested in hunting here anymore and used his flying disc to head toward another dead island in the south, which was two hundred miles away from this one.
Just half a day later after Jacob left a crimson cloaked Wraith appeared outside the life pen's open door like a ghost.
Without hesitation, it directly entered the life pen, and when it saw the open door of the hidden control room, it entered, and upon seeing the corpses of Brainy Imps, he checked the 'goods'.
After confirming none of them were missing, the fiery eyes under its crimson hood jumped, "Soone killed all the guards and these controllers but didn't touch the cattle. What is going on? I've heard an intruder snuck in, could it be he's here? I need to report it back!"
The next mont, it began to mutter a spell in its eerie voice, and soon, a magic circle with crimson runes shimred in front of him, and a ghost-like figure materialized.
The Wraith kneeled and quickly exclaid, "General, soone killed all the guards and controllers of the Life Pen No.432. I think it's the intruder!"
The general replied in a coarse tone, "What about the cattle?"
"They are all here." The Wraith replied.
"Strange. Alright, I'll send ten vice generals. You should contact the other life pens as well. Wrath King ordered to capture this degenerate as quickly as possible. It seed he had so skill. If you found him, don't approach and wait for reinforcent, just tail him." The general commanded before the magic circle dissipated.

Jacob has no idea that his movent has already been discovered. At this mont, he was already approaching the cliff of another dead island hidden within the mist.
If not for the brainy imp's accurate direction, it would be very hard to find this place. Surprisingly, the dark beings didn't have maps, and they used so kind of spell to find these places unique to them.
Furthermore, he also discovered that the Dark Beings use a magic network to keep in contact with each other called the Dark Network, and they can access it by using their special Dead Signature through magic.
They didn't need star watches like living beings, and according to the imp, this network was just as advanced as the Star Network, and their origin seed to be the sa as well.
This was a huge discovery, but alas, Jacob couldn't use it to his advantage since he didn't have the dead signature, which only emits from the dead fla. Nonetheless, he now knew that dark beings also have a way to communicate with each other. So, he can't be too careless and give them a chance to reveal his location.
The island's environnt was just the previous one, dark and gloomy. According to the imp, these dead islands had their own overseers, and they were known as Island Generals and under the direct command of Vice Faction Heads.
This mist was a gigantic formation, and anything alive would be instantly detected by it. It also had a hallucination effect on living beings, so they would lose their way if they entered it.
But for so reason, Jacob wasn't being detected by this formation at all, nor did it have any effect on him, which was quite strange.
The core of this formation was in the central dead continent, which was the headquarters of the Dead Faction, and all the dead islands were connected with it, and it existed in the very center of the Dead Faction territory.
Jacob might be the first person to acquire so much accurate information on the Dead Faction, and if he sells to the Life Faction, he'll be greatly rewarded.
He descended on this new island and quickly made his way to its depths, and he was surprised when, not too long after his arrival, he was attacked by a pack of dark beasts, all of them in a unique rank. He was hiding his life aura as he wanted to attract these dark beasts and save his mana.
This plays right in his favor since the Dark Beasts were even more sensitive toward the life aura than the Dark Beings.
This pack of dead beasts had skeletons like a wolf, and their dark flas were emitting from their bodies.
With his swords, he sprang into action and cut down around fifty of these skeleton wolves and collected their cores before moving forward. He was still far from evolving his hex core.
He needed to kill them in close quarters, which ant he couldn't use his long-range weapons.
Soon, Jacob crossed the gloomy forest and stopped as ahead of him were the towering black walls of a city. This was exactly the place he was looking for, an inhabited city of the Dark Beings filled with thousands of unique rank dark beings.
Using the hunter's stealth, he flew on top of the city walls and saw crude buildings and dark beings moving on the paved roads. There were even stalls where they sold many things, and their currency was none other than Life Crystals.
Carefully, he descended within the city, landed in a remote corner, and slowly vanished into the crowd of dark beings while using his hunter's stealth.
He waited for the night before he started the hunt!
