The thick mist sizzled as it touched the purple light shield, as if it was being burned by fire.
It quickly vanished, turning into a wisp of faint spiritual energy, which was then absorbed by the chaotic power.
Jiang Xuelan did not remain silent; Ice-blue divine light flowed wildly on his body.
The mist that tried to penetrate the purple shield and approach them froze into small ice crystals.
The ice crystals fell to the ground, producing a crisp “gurgling” sound.
But before it could land, the plane was completely swallowed by the thick fog that had just formed and disappeared.
“This forest consciousness is stronger than we imagined.”
Jiang Xuelan said in a low voice, her tone containing a hint of seriousness.
“He is watching us, judging our good and evil, and testing our strength,” David said.
He could clearly feel that the wood attribute consciousness hidden in the thick fog had become more active than before.
It was as if they were observing them closely, assessing whether they were worthy of setting foot in Eldar territory.
“Stay close to me and don’t get distracted.”
David’s voice was calm, but his tone contained undeniable seriousness.
His mind remained extremely focused the entire time.
The power of chaos turned into an invisible snake, carving a narrow path through the thick fog.
The thick fog on both sides of the passage was wavy and turbulent, as if it were alive, constantly constricting the passage.
Trying to trap them in it.
However, the restraining effect of the chaotic power was too domineering.
The threads woven from wood-elemental spiritual energy would instantly melt upon contact with the chaotic purple light, making it impossible for them to get even the slightest bit closer.
The two of them carefully walked along the path that had been opened by David.
Along the journey, the fog grew thicker, visibility decreased, and the wood-elemental spiritual energy in the air became increasingly thick.
You could even smell the faint scent of grass and trees, mixed with a faint stench.
It was a sign that the spiritual veins were starting to rot, but it was covered by a thick fog and couldn’t be seen clearly.
David’s chaotic power paved the way ahead, avoiding one trap after another hidden in the thick fog.
Some traps consist of sharp tree roots that suddenly emerge from the ground.
The tree roots were as hard as iron, sparkling with a faint green light.
Once touched, it will immediately wrap around your body and bind you tightly.
Some traps consist of poisonous mushrooms disguised as rocks.
The mushrooms may look ordinary, but they secrete a colorless, odorless toxin. Inhaling even a small amount of the poison would paralyze the entire body and cause one to lose all cultivation abilities.
Another trap is toxic spores invisible to the naked eye in the air.
The spores drifted within the thick mist, and once they came into contact with a cultivator’s skin, they would quickly penetrate the body and erode the meridians, making it impossible to defend against.
Fortunately, David’s chaotic power can suppress all other powers.
Before the trap could get close to them, they were completely swallowed by the chaotic purple light.
The energy turned into a wisp of spiritual energy, which was then absorbed by David.
Not only did it not harm them, but it also nourished the chaotic power within David’s body.
Jiang Xuelan followed David from behind, her eyes vigilantly observing everything around her.
Sometimes, he would step in, using the power of the Ice God to freeze anyone who escaped his snare, thus ensuring both of their safety.
And so, the two of them traveled through the thick fog for about the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
Just when they thought everything would go smoothly, suddenly a faint sound came from up ahead.
It sounded like something was moving fast, accompanied by the sound of rustling twigs and leaves rustling.
Some faint but concentrated auras were quickly approaching them.
David stopped suddenly, his divine sense spread rapidly, instantly locking on those auras.
Those were five auras, all with cultivation levels between the fourth and fifth ranks of the True Immortal Realm.
The aura it exudes is smooth and stable, carrying rich, woody spiritual energy that blends perfectly with the forest atmosphere.
If you don’t pay close attention, you won’t be able to detect their presence at all.
Moreover, the auras exuded clear wariness and hostility, which clearly indicated that they were coming for them.
“Someone is coming; they are from the Elf race.”
David spoke to Jiang Xuelan in a low voice, his tone showing a hint of caution.
“His cultivation level is not high, but his aura is very hidden.”
“It should be a patrol team from the Spirit Clan, responsible for guarding this misty forest and preventing outsiders from entering,” David said.
Jiang Xuelan nodded, and the ice-blue divine light around her instantly became sharp, preparing for battle.
