The black trees were like huge towers rising towards the sky, their trunks as thick as an elephant's waist.
They stood proud with a large shadowy canopy blocking all light from reaching the ground.
The ground was slightly moist but almost as hard as steel.
An extrely pungent scent, similar to the sll of rotten corpses, filled the surroundings.
David felt as if he had arrived in a completely different world.
It had been one hour since they entered the Endless Forest, and David was nervous the entire ti, cautiously watching the surroundings.
Unlike David, his companions were fine and dandy, looking at everything with extre interest.
The most daring among the bunch was Sebastian, "that old cougar!"
David cursed and looked at Sebastian with unkind eyes.
Sebastian, at this ti, was chipping so tree bark, so he didn't notice David's expression.
Mary, on the other hand, looked at everything with curiosity, acting like a kid who had co to visit the zoo for the first ti.
You might ask, why was he panicking so much when he already had the strength of a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm?
Moreover, he also had the Origin Guard at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
Well, he had one good reason.
So ti ago, a wild boar had attacked their group, and David, on a whim, had checked its status.
What he saw made his heart shudder in horror.
[Species - Corrupted Wild Boar.
Cultivation - Peak of Body Refining Realm.
Bloodline - None
Remark - A wild boar corrupted by the will of the Demonic Dragon of Calamity. Exercise caution, prolonged contact can corrupt your Spiritual Space.]
And this wasn't a single case. Every monster they had encountered thus far was corrupted by the will of the Demonic Dragon of Calamity.
This was a big red flag. Moreover, from the clues he had gotten, David ca to an absurd conclusion that he couldn't believe for a long ti. But once he looked at Mary, and especially at Ruby, he was forced to accept it.
Right now, he was most likely walking on the body of the Demonic Dragon.
Suddenly, the Ancient Web of Mindfulness was stirred. David felt a presence moving toward them stealthily.
Even with his monstrous sensitivity, he wasn't able to feel its presence.
David's face turned serious, and he spoke in a low voice.
"Everyone, prepare yourselves. We are leaving this place as fast as possible."
David had decided to leave this place before nightfall at any cost. He had a feeling that if he wasn't able to leave before nightfall, he would be forever trapped here.
Even before hearing his words, David's companions were already alert.
They could also feel the sudden change in the atmosphere.
In the next mont, David's eyes flashed, and a chair appeared in his hand. The Allheaven Canvas automatically moved and rged with it.
He wasn't going to wait for the unknown being to make a move first.
David suddenly took a step forward, and the muscles on his hands bulged with veins popping. In the next mont, he launched the chair into the air.
Right at that mont, a huge toad, bigger than a small car, suddenly appeared in midair. Its body was filled with black-colored spots, looking extrely disgusting.
Quark-Quark.
Its huge mouth opened, and its tongue, filled with thorns, launched in David's direction like a missile.
"Enlarge!" David was already prepared. In the next mont, the midair chair suddenly enlarged and beca even larger than the toad.
In the blink of an eye, the chair ramd into the toad's body, one of the chair's legs penetrating its huge body.
Black-colored blood was instantly spilled on the ground.
However, David had no ti to look at his handiwork. His Ancient Web of Mindfulness was vibrating endlessly.
Without waiting for his orders, Sebastian and the others had already started running.
After selling the toad's body to the bank for 100,000 spirit stones, he also moved.
In the next mont, the spot where he had stood was filled with thousands of toads moving like a tide.
None of them spoke, only focusing on running.
The situation didn't allow for conversation. After all, it had changed too fast.
Out of the four people, only David seed to be using a fancy technique with lightning flashing all around him.
While the rest weren't as fast as he was, they also used a comparatively low amount of mana.
And at this ti, the tide of monsters arrived, ready to swallow them.
"Not good." David's eyes flashed; the monsters were too close to Ruby.
Without stopping, David threw his chair once again.
The chair flew past Ruby and instantly grew larger by more than twenty ters.
Smashing tens of monsters into a bloody pulp, but on a larger scale, its effect was negligible.
Ruby's eyes at this ti were calm and cold, as if the tide of monstrous toads wasn't behind her.
In the next mont, Ruby's eyes flashed intensely.
"Empty." She only uttered a single word, and in the next mont, everything within a hundred-ter radius around her disappeared.
All the toads turned into puffs of smoke and dissolved.
David looked at this scene in disbelief and swallowed his saliva.
Whatever she had done was too overpowered.
David wasn't the only one to feel this way. Sebastian's eyes also shook, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
Even the usually cheerful Mary had a solemn expression on her face.
Ruby's body suddenly flickered, and in the next mont, she directly appeared in front of David.
Ruby's face was pale, and her breathing was heavy. Although the attack looked easy, it cost her a large amount of mana.
Even then, she didn't stop, as the situation didn't allow her to.
Although the group was montarily stunned, they didn't stop running.
The huge emptiness was instantly filled by tens of toads in the next mont.
At this ti, David was finally starting to understand why cultivators avoided this forest at all costs.
Suddenly, he rembered Mary's words from earlier.
"Darling, are you a jinx?"
