Sigh...

Sighing in relief, Leo carefully manipulated the black liquid (potion) toward the carved wooden bottle he created, filling it wholly before hurriedly closing the cap.

Revealing a satisfied smile not far from malevolent, Leo thought unhurriedly as he began putting the items and materials into his inventory.

"If I continue doing this, I will be able to upgrade my class job in a week... It's also the same time when I would fill my exp and reach the peak of the Foundation realm..."

"I'm only waiting for the cooldown of the fusion feature so I can combine the Qi Shield (Uncommon) and Resilient (Uncommon) for protection against that lightning..."

He leisurely wonders if it would be enough to save him from unceasing lightning. If he was still not satisfied nor felt safe after gaining that skill, he might use one or two Medallion of Forceful upgrades to increase its capabilities.

"Moreover, I should also try creating self-boosting potions like stamina, strength, Qi recovery, etc... It's best if I readied every one of those.'

"Unfortunately, I couldn't find much spiritual fruits within that forsaken pit... So I could increase my stats even if it was little."

Shaking his head, Leo was about to drag his exhausted body toward the forsaken pit to cultivate when unexpectedly, one of the black crows above rapidly flew toward his direction... Staring at him with those dead bland eyes before cawing loudly, causing the connection between the two to give him signals- allowing him to understand its message and emotions even though not too clearly.

"You saw beings kilometres away from the cemetery?" Leo speaks after minutes of difficulty translating the puppet's thoughts... Only understanding how minimal the intelligence and commands basic puppets could send and comprehend.

I should note down it so I can avoid it in the future...

Caw!

Hearing Leo's demonic voice, the black crow puppet nods its little head in confirmation... Flapping its wings so it could maintain its low altitude before pointing its little beak toward the South direction.

"Opposite direction of the town?'

Leo ponders slightly before asking, "Where? How many?"

Caw! Caw!

"I see, good job..."

Upon gaining basic information, Leo weakly patted the head of the black crow using his shadow hand, feeding its core with rich Qi before vanishing within its senses- entering invisibility, leaving a weak breeze of wind behind.

Swish.

Caw?

The black crow puppet caws in confusion before unhurriedly flying toward the canopy above after a while... Resuming its previous scanning.

"Are you really sure that there's no living being within the cemetery? But... I accidentally heard from Jake a month ago that they have a friend living in there?"

A man in the back weakly said, silently gazing at the fog that began to shroud the structure in the far distance in slight fear... Gulping audibly as if he could feel that someone was staring at his being with malicious thoughts.

"There should be no one living in the cemetery right now... Imagine, who would choose to live in this forsaken and dangerous place? Can you imagine you living in this place ALONE?

"Heck, even a Core Formation realm cultivator might think twice if someone offered them to live in this kind of place..."

A man with thick brows waved his sword in his front, cutting the thick tall grasses on their way. After finishing cutting weeds and wild grasses, the man again continued speaking.

"The town's situation was not right right now, I could even feel the tension and oppression within just by walking within the roads... I'm afraid that something was secretly brewing trouble within, and it's not good for us cultivators with only so-so abilities and strength..."

"This... you also felt the same? I thought I was the only one feeling that way, I almost thought that I was gifted or awakened a bad*ss skill on my own."

A teenager at the age of probably 15-17 speaks in a loud voice, interrupting the man with thick brows as he slightly waves his 1-meter-tall baston in regret and denial.

"You still hadn't gotten rid of that book? I already told you that it wouldn't do you good, now look how your character changed..."

Shhh!

As they were bickering on the back, the man with thick black brows suddenly halted in his tracks, placing his pointed finger toward his thin lips- gesturing toward them to quiet down as he scanned the place in wariness...

...

Still not moving?

After a momentary silence that lasted for minutes, the man's thick brows furrowed into a frown, his thoughts were unknown before mumbling weakly toward the people on his back.

"Did you feel it? Someone was staring at us..."

This...

Upon hearing this, the four humans behind hurriedly scanned the tall trees in their surroundings in incomparable wariness, gripping their weapons tightly- readying themselves for the inevitable battle...

Whoosh~

Time slowly passed by, a weak sound of rustling leaves entered their senses, causing them to become tense as they looked at the silent forest in front of them strangely- slowly making their senses deaf due to its peacefulness...

However, after waiting for almost ten minutes, the five of them couldn't help but reveal a deep puzzled expression, exchanging glances as they stared at the man with thick brows in suspicion.

"Roy, are you deliberately scaring us?"

Khael at the back couldn't help but utter in a weak voice, almost wanting to shave Roy's thick brows so he could read his expression clearly... (of course, it's purely due to revenge.)

"Why would I? You all should be aware of my premonition, it never gives me an inaccurate feeling..."

Roy speaks deliberately, also feeling a sense of suspicion regarding his skills.

"Did my perception mistaken earlier?'

He thought, couldn't help but eye the slowly setting sun on the far horizon, feeling a forbidding sensation that slowly crept toward his being- making him feel extremely uncomfortable...

"Roy, Roy, are you listening to us? It's already getting dark, we need to find a place to stay for tonight!" The teenager impatiently said, thinking that Roy was just too tired causing his senses to become inaccurate.

"This, why not... we go back to the town?"

...

"This..."

"What? Seriously!? It took us 3 to 4 hours of walking to reach this place so we could avoid what was happening within that town yet you want to go back!? Are you crazy!?

"Moreover, you should be aware that most of the beasts within the Endless Forest only start hunting at night!"

Andress, a middle-aged man in his early thirties almost shouted toward Roy's ears, momentarily causing Roy to become deaf as he instinctively covered his ears in slight pain...

Grimacing, he rebuked, "F*ck, my premonition was telling me not to enter that cemetery. What should I need to do? Enter that place so I could commit suicide!?"

This...

The four couldn't help but become stunned, unable to find the right words to counter what Roy just said...

Falling deep into silence after minutes, Khael sighed softly before speaking in a mild tone.

"We have 1 Peak Foundation realm within our group while the rest reach the middle stage at the very least... Moreover, most of the Core Formation realm cultivators within the town entered the depths of the Endless Forest..."

Pausing for a while to take a deep breath, Khael again continued.

"Those Core Formation realm beings aren't that stupid to not check the surroundings of the town for possible danger before entering that place... Even if there's a Core Formation realm being within the cemetery, it should just enter that realm.

"With our number, we should be able to hold it at the very least, isn't it?

"Besides that, every place is equally dangerous right now! The town feels dangerous, the Endless Forest also feels dangerous, then now the cemetery..."

Sigh...

Khael sighed, unable to complete his words as he looked at the four with equally mixed emotions... Shaking his head, he shifted his gaze toward the far distance, silently staring at the cemetery that was slowly being shrouded by darkness- making his heart skip a bit although unknown.

"I see, I understand, I just felt uncomfortable and stressed earlier causing me to shout..."

Roy heaved a deep sigh of helplessness, apologizing to the four before unhurriedly moving forward- gazing at the old rusty gate as they unhurriedly stepped within...

***

"Kekeke~ Interesting, there's still someone who could notice my existence even though my invisibility already entered level 7?

Even that devil spawn couldn't detect my existence after I entered invisibility...'

Leo thought in amusement, gazing toward the silhouettes of the 5 humans behind one of the concrete niches in silence...

Thinking of something, Leo revealed a deep malevolent smile within his shadow face, feeling excited all of a sudden upon finally having a chance to earn horror points!

A long-term way to earn horror points!
