Madness!

Zi JI's words carried the weight of a promise.

The Ten Thousand Demon King's enormous body leaned forward slightly, and countless branches and leaves gently swayed, indicating his agreement.

The Scarlet King let out a low growl, which could be considered a pre-emptive strike.

Although Xiong Jun still snorted somewhat resentfully, he stopped digging at the ground with his huge claws, and reluctantly accepted the duty of being a "protector".

They were not unreasonable; Bi Ji's Analytic and the Master's high regard for Lin Xia forced them to suppress their warlike desires.

"Good!"

Seeing that the arrangements were in place and she had no further objections, Bi Ji's gaze suddenly became incredibly sharp, like a lighthouse Infiltrator the fog.

She gazed into the depths of the Black Swamp Forest, where not only did thick, inky miasma churn, but also a sense of decay and malice that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Gentlemen, this battle is a matter of life and death! Follow me... to purify the filth and restore the forest's clarity!"

Bi Ji's voice carried a resolute power, instantly igniting the fighting spirit in everyone's hearts.

The group exchanged glances; without a word, a heavy resolve was silently reached.

Di Tian's enormous dragon body hovered low in the sky, its dragon might gathering once more, but no longer targeting anyone; instead, Lock-On onto the Pollution Source.

Holy light flowed around Qian Daoliu, Angel Holy Sword hummed.

Bibi Dong was enveloped in purplish-black divine power, and the phantom of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe appeared and disappeared.

Lin Xia took a deep breath, and the Four-Colored Light Wheel on Ivysaur's back suddenly lit up, its roots sinking deep into the still relatively pure soil beneath its feet.

Qian Renxue slightly spread her six wings, and a sacred aura began to permeate the air.

Led by Bi Ji, this unprecedented allied force, composed of top human experts and Star Dou- level Ferocious Beast, resolutely stepped into the suffocating core area of Black Swamp Forest, like a sharp blade Slash filth.

Take a step in!

As if crossing a spatial barrier, the scene before my eyes changed drastically in an instant!

This was Lin Xia's first time venturing into this place. Even though he had heard Bi Ji's description beforehand and had prepared himself mentally, when the scene before him was real and unreserved, his mind still went blank for a moment. His blood seemed to freeze instantly, and a primal fear and intense nausea, stemming from his life instincts, Wrap around his heart like a cold, venomous snake, almost suffocating him!

What... what is this?!

This was absolutely no forest landscape he knew! It was a living, breathing hellscape painted by madness and decay!

The earth was no longer a mixture of soil and swamp, but had become a writhing, flowing, dark purple Flesh Carpet, like a giant, rotting entrails!

This Flesh Carpet was covered with thick, pulsating veins, like blood vessels, which were deeply embedded beneath Flesh Carpet. They would occasionally arch up like worms, gurgling out a thick, pungent, dark green pus.

Stepping on it felt like stepping not on the ground, but into the interior of a colossal, rotting corpse; the sticky, slippery sensation shot straight to my brain through the sole of my shoe.

The air was thick and sticky like glue, no longer the gray-black miasma, but filled with a nauseating, dark green fog that mixed with rust, rotting flesh, sulfur, and some indescribable sweet and fishy smell.

With each breath, I felt cold, barbed, fluffy material Sheer Force penetrating my lungs, bringing Burn sting and a strong feeling of suffocation and dizziness.

Everywhere you look, all the plants have undergone incomprehensible and terrifying mutations!

Trees? No, they can no longer be called trees! They're more like twisted creations crawling out of Nightmare!

The thick tree trunk was covered with a wet, moss-like, scaly surface that constantly secreted black slime.

Where branches should have been, countless translucent, gelatinous vines, like the tentacles of a rotting octopus, extended out. The ends of these vines split open, like Suction Cups, greedily absorbing the foul energy permeating the air, and constantly dripping dark green sap.

At the top of some "trees," where the crown should be, huge, rotten flowers, magnified a thousand times, were twisted and "blooming." The petals were made of rotting flesh, and at the stamens were huge, bloodshot eyeballs that kept turning, their eyes empty and crazed, staring intently at the intruders!

The low shrubs melted completely, turning into pustules of writhing, purple gel-like substance covered in pustules. These slowly flowed and coalesced on the ground, forming bubbling "living swamps."

Occasionally, these gels will suddenly bulge out, forming blurry, silent, shrill faces made of pus, which will then rupture and dissolve.

What's even more chilling are the completely contaminated remains of the Soul Beast, or rather, they've become part of the contamination itself!

The skeleton of a giant Soul Beast was half-buried in the Flesh Carpet. The bones were a sickly purplish-black color, but countless tiny, constantly opening and closing fleshy buds and slippery mycelia were growing on them, as if the bones were "rotting and proliferating" on their own.

Elsewhere, a twisted monster in the form of a Wind Wolf, its fur long gone, exposed muscle tissue flowing like melted wax, several pink tentacles resembling intestines, not belonging to it, emerged from its abdomen and eye sockets, dancing wildly in the air.

It seemed to have lost all its senses, leaving only a hatred for all living things. Sensing the presence of living people, it immediately let out a silent roar, dragging its slimy body in a completely illogical posture, on all fours, with its head twisted 360 degrees backward, staring straight at the crowd, preparing to pounce. However, it was intimidated by Di Tian's invisible and terrifying dragon might, and lay prostrate on the ground, still emitting a low, creaking sound like bones grinding together.

More than just visuals!

A constant, indistinct whisper filled the air.

That wasn't a sound, but a kind of babbling that directly affected the mental level!

At times it crawls and gnaws inside the eardrum like thousands of insects, at other times it transforms into the desperate wails of countless dying people, and at still other times it becomes a sweet whisper of Captivate and depravity, frantically assaulting everyone's defenses.

Lin Xia felt a throbbing pain in her temples, and an indescribable irritation and urge to tear everything in front of her welled up within her. Ivysaur also let out a pained "Dana," and the halo on its back became somewhat unstable.

"Hiss..."

Lin Xia gasped, her face turning deathly pale as a strong feeling of dizziness and nausea rose in her throat.

This is not fear, but a deeper, more fundamental sense of rejection and contamination!

A word flashed through his mind instantly— Cthulhu!

Those distorted and blasphemous scenes that I had only seen in fictional works in my previous life, scenes that were enough to drive people to the brink of madness with just a glance, were now presented to me so realistically and so terrifyingly!

The essence of this source of Pollution Source contains such pure, irrational madness!

"This... this is..."
