Chapter 106: Illusory formation

David felt a little hollow inside; without his two superb Crystallizations of life, would he amount to anything?

His thoughts were like an irresistible darkness that was threatening to consume him.

"Okay! Calm down." David muttered while looking at the gloomy sky that was devoid of all clouds.

His thought process was going in the wrong direction.

The fact that he was standing here today was also because of luck.

Luck, fate, destiny were also part of a person's strength.

He was not yet strong enough to separate his existence from the effect of these intangible forces.

Suddenly, David felt someone tugging the corner of his shirt.

Borrito at this time climbed on top of David's shoulders and sat down comfortably.

It was useless to think about things which were outside his control, and he should focus on what he can control.

A mortal man can't make the river flow backwards.

A mortal man can't make the sun rise from the west.

But David can do that as long he got enough time to grow.

Great men weren't born great, but they were the product of circumstances and great luck.

You could even argue that the great ruler of Macedonia, Alexander, was great only because he was lucky to some extent.

Suddenly, a breeze blew lightly, caressing David's face.

Sigh!

With a sigh, David decided to focus on important things.

"Sebastian, what do you think about our current situation?" David turned towards Sebastian and lightly said. During such difficult situations, he could only rely on Sebastian's experience; the two women were of no help.

Moreover, David was extremely clear of the fact that this was definitely not Sebastian's home planet.

Hearing David's words, Sebastian pondered for a moment before speaking, "I don't have enough information to say anything. The first thing that we should do is start gathering information."

David also agreed with Sebastian's words; gathering information was the best course of action for now, especially since they have access to the Green Heaven web.

"You guys wait here, let me explore the surroundings." After some thought, David decided to fully scan the surroundings to find anything useful.

Sebastian just nodded at his words and didn't say anything; however, in the next moment, his eyes narrowed.

David had inexplicably disappeared from his senses and appeared ten meters away.

"Interesting! Very interesting." Sebastian smiled as he watched David's figure appearing and disappearing in the air.

David also noticed Sebastian's smile with the help of Web of Mindfulness, and in the next moment, a small smile appeared on his face.

His plan seemed to have worked.

If David wanted, he could have used Purple Thunder to move, but he purposefully didn't. He wanted Sebastian and the others to focus on his new ability and forget the rest.

After moving for roughly a kilometer toward the North, he decided to switch his movement technique.

David was moving while following a clear pattern; if someone was hiding in the shadows and watching his every move, he would become an easy target.

While thinking, David turned into a streak of purple light and moved forward with great speed.

In a few minutes, he covered tens of kilometers.

A moment later, David's eyes flashed; some distance away, he could feel a slight disturbance in the mana.

It looked like he finally found some living beings.

However, in the next moment, his expression turned strange.

The mana signatures in front of him were extremely familiar, bearing close resemblance with his companions.

In an instant, he slowed down, and indeed on the ground below were Sebastian and the others.

Even Sebastian seemed to be surprised by David's sudden appearance.

How did he appear in the same spot again?

David frowned. This time, he picked another direction and once again blasted off into the distance.

However, after some time, he was back at the place where he had started from.

David's expression turned sour, and a sinking feeling started to take root in his heart.

He didn't stop and continued to move; no matter which direction he chose, he would always end up in the same place.

After flying around for another half an hour, the situation remained the same, and in the end, he could only give up.

"Did you see that?" David said with an ugly expression on his face.

All this time while David was moving, Sebastian was also looking at him closely.

"We should be in some sort of illusion formation," Sebastian slowly spoke while crouching on the ground.

He grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and brought it closer to his face.

And he didn't just stop there; in the next moment, he conducted several tests on the dirt.

Some time later, Sebastian's eyes flashed with clarity.

"Indeed, I was right. We are indeed inside some illusion formation."

The first dirt sample seems to be soaked with unknown creature blood.

A thing very common in various types of formations.

"Let us search on the Green Heaven web; we might find something interesting there," David suddenly said loudly while Sebastian was busy thinking.

The discussion finally attracted Mary's and Ruby's attention.

A slight frown appeared on Ruby's face, but she still didn't open her eyes and continued to meditate.

"Formation, huh! Let me check." Mary spoke with a serious face, and in the next moment, a big circle made of gray light appeared behind her, slowly spinning in an anti-clockwise direction.

The circle soon enlarged and covered a huge area with Mary as the center.

"So this is Mrs. Mary's master formation!" Sebastian thought in his head while looking at the circle in admiration.

This master formation contained all of Mary's insight that she had of the formation path.

Sebastian's expression suddenly relaxed; given the glow of her master formation, Mrs. Mary's attainments weren't low.

While Sebastian was feeling relaxed, droplets of sweat had appeared on Mary's beautiful face, gently rolling down her forehead.

"Sigh! My strength is insufficient; I won't be able to break it," Mary said in a disappointed voice.

Formation was one of her forte, and yet she still failed to break the formation.

This was really shameful for her.

"Ah! Don't worry, guys. Just search through the Green Heaven web; we will find something useful."

After seeing Mary's disappointed face, David spoke from the sidelines.
