Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

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 extremely pungent scent, similar to the smell 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 time, cautiously watching the surroundings.

Unlike David, his companions were fine and dandy, looking at everything with extreme interest.

The most daring among the bunch was Sebastian, "that old cougar!"

David cursed and looked at Sebastian with unkind eyes.

Sebastian, at this time, was chipping some 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 come to visit the zoo for the first time.

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.

Some time 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 came to an absurd conclusion that he couldn't believe for a long time. 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 moment, David's eyes flashed, and a chair appeared in his hand. The Allheaven Canvas automatically moved and merged 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 moment, he launched the chair into the air.

Right at that moment, a huge toad, bigger than a small car, suddenly appeared in midair. Its body was filled with black-colored spots, looking extremely 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 moment, the midair chair suddenly enlarged and became even larger than the toad.

In the blink of an eye, the chair rammed 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 time 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 moment, 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 seemed 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 time, 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 meters.

Smashing tens of monsters into a bloody pulp, but on a larger scale, its effect was negligible.

Ruby's eyes at this time were calm and cold, as if the tide of monstrous toads wasn't behind her.

In the next moment, Ruby's eyes flashed intensely.

"Empty." She only uttered a single word, and in the next moment, everything within a hundred-meter 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 moment, 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 momentarily stunned, they didn't stop running.

The huge emptiness was instantly filled by tens of toads in the next moment.

At this time, David was finally starting to understand why cultivators avoided this forest at all costs.

Suddenly, he remembered Mary's words from earlier.

"Darling, are you a jinx?"
