Multi-Gene

Almost a second later, David had managed to suppress the waves of roiling dark thoughts in his brain.

With that, he was able to check on the others and saw that they were still struggling with clearing their minds and thoughts, therefore, he pretended.

Only after the young master and a couple others of the Nine family had recovered did he relent.

"Let's push on." The young master said with resolution.

The others nodded and they continued with their speed. The more they got to the cave's entrance, the harder it was to move forwards.

Within the next minute, one party has reached the cave before everyone else. The cave light flickered and it was as though the cane had swallowed them home as they were no where to be found any longer.

David frowned slightly and was sceptical. The cave was actually scary and with what they had just witnessed, it made it even more fearsome.

The young master seem to have been intimidated by it, likewise other ls too. No one wanted to waste their life for no reason at all.

But as they were hesitating, three of the remaining nine parties had quickly entered the Gloom Cave as though been swallowed by the glutinous darkness emanating from deep within.

Looking at this, the young master stopped hesitating. "Let us move." With that, he moved with extreme speed, fighting the air resistance slowing their speed to jog.

Finally, they too were swallowed by the darkness of the Gloom Cave.

Very rapidly, the feeling of floating in a vacuum space flooded David's brain, making him confused as to what was happening. Within the blink of an eye, the feeling faded as another feeling of quick and rapid descent flooded David's mind.

He quickly checked around him and saw that he had somehow managed to appear somewhere, but he hadn't appeared on the ground like the briefing he had been given earlier.

No, instead he had managed to appear slightly below the blue skies, talking to them in and chilling amongst the white clouds.

"Fvck!" David's expression changed slightly. How could he have such bad luck?

Rapidly, he descended towards the ground without control and like a meteor slashing through the clouds!

David didn't dare to open his wings here as the force of his fall was much too great. Opening his dragon wings would be asking for it to break.

Although he could manage to glide through the air with it, one wrong mistake and the bones connecting his wings to his body would break, he didn't want to risk that.

Therefore, David only watched on with cold eyes as he headed for the ground with increasing velocity.

40,000 meters... 30,000 meters... 20,000 meters 10,000 meters...

Gradually, he could see the ground coming closer and closer to him. His clothes and air flapping due to the wind and his cheeks fluttered and his muscles and flesh pressed backwards against his bones from intense air resistance.

500 meters!

BANG!

The air exploded fiercely as a massive shockwave erupted from within David, jerking him thereby slowing his descent by 1 percent, not nearly enough to do much.

BANG! Another brutal wave of power exploded as David circulated his blood to the highest level. His blood pumper through his veins with accordance to his heart rapidly circulating around his body like rushing waves of the ocean but the speed was so intense gravity was been affected.

The rapid booming sound echoed one after the other and David's speed gradually decreased but by bit.

Ten meters...

BANG!!!

As he landed, the ground beneath him caved and massive shockwaves spread through the environment as though a massive star debris had fallen from outer space, directly to the earth.

Every tree and being within a kilometer radius was instantly blasted into shreds.

David staggered unsteadily, feeling some sort of weakness overcoming him. He flopped to the ground. His body was incredibly strong, so the fall hadn't affected him by much, but still, revolving his blood so fiercely had weakened him slightly.

"Where is this?" He glanced around the remains of the trees, boulders and other things around him only to realise he was lost.

Bringing out what seem to be a rectangular-shaped compass. David oeonwd the lid and he could see a little fish swimming in the little pool straight at a particular direction, but there was no path since its surroundings were limited, but still, it swam in that direction rapidly.

David nodded his head, and placed back the compass. He had recovered his strength by now and then he headed towards the direction the fish had pointed. The others must be there, particularly the Young master.

It was a very efficient method the young master had provided in the event that they were far apart from each other, now it has come to great use.

David continued to move in a straight line towards the direction shown. After a while, he noticed something was wrong with the first around him.

While they looked lively and well, David could tell that if was just what was been shown on the surface. They were more like decorations with vibrant colours, but lacked essential life within. He was able to figure it out because he was also like that.

This new found knowledge disturbed David a great deal.

Peng!

A tree branch was broken Into pieces and David brought it forwards to his face.

Even after that, there was nothing wrong with the tree he could find. "Must be tripping for nothing." David thought for a while and then he stood up to leave.

Creak!

David snapped his head sideways to gaze at the direction when he saw two strange looking men with dull but flickering eyes staring at him form a distance.

David frowned slightly. He hadn't been able to sense them until the twig noises attracted his attention. What was even weirder was the fact that he couldn't sense them even if he could see them.. They were emitting the same signature energy as the trees, therefore it was almost impossible to tell them apart.
