Chapter 1886: Chapter 1890: Orphan Qin Tian

Qin Tian turned around and didn’t see anyone!

He listened carefully, but didn’t hear any sound!

Instantly, a chill went through Qin Tian’s heart.

Is this Tree King really using diversion tactics?

"Old Fourth!"

"Murong?"

"Qiu Niang?"

"A-Tai!"

Qin Tian shouted loudly in the mist, calling out the names of Duan Xiaodao and the others, as he quickened his pace, searching everywhere.

However, even though he used all his True Qi power to search for Duan Xiaodao and the others, he received not a single echo. All of his companions were out of contact, vanished!

"Damn it!"

Qin Tian was extremely annoyed, regretting that he shouldn’t have lingered in battle with the Tree King. Now it was troublesome, with trees all around and in the thick mist of the Heavenly Punishment Forest, finding them was incredibly difficult!

"They should be fine, right..."

Qin Tian prayed in his heart.

But thinking carefully, there were eight of them, all experts, and with A-Tai now having unfathomable strength as well, nothing major should happen.

The problem lay with him now.

If he couldn’t find his companions, how would he escape?

Go back? Or continue forward?

"If Old Fourth and the others escaped and couldn’t find me, they would surely guess that I would continue forward..."

Thinking in reverse, Qin Tian decided to stick to his original direction.

In the Heavenly Punishment Forest, there were occasionally hidden mechanisms and the trees’ sneak attacks.

However, Qin Tian now walked alone on high alert, easily avoiding all the traps.

But the problem was, after walking in the mist for a long time, Qin Tian lost his direction and couldn’t find where the Myriad Demon Mountain Range structures were located.

"Lost? Or is this a maze?"

Qin Tian finally realized why Long Jun led a large force into the Heavenly Punishment Forest and lost over ten thousand personal soldiers back then.

In this forest, with the disturbing white mist, perhaps those soldiers were all isolated by the mist after entering, then picked off one by one by the Tree King’s followers!

Even if they weren’t killed, how would they escape?

If they couldn’t get out, eventually, they’d still die!

"But my father got out back then... so there must be a way to break through this Heavenly Punishment Forest, it can’t possibly be a dead end."

Qin Tian simply stopped walking and stood there, concentrating in thought.

He recalled everything that happened after entering the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, trying to find some clues.

"No, before we entered the Heavenly Punishment Forest, we clearly saw that patch of forest, it was at most tens of thousands of square kilometers."

"Such an area, we might get lost, but my father’s tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands would get lost? It couldn’t be!"

"Even if each person is booked next to another and cuts down a tree each, this Heavenly Punishment Forest should have been cut down entirely!"

The more Qin Tian thought about it, the more something felt off, as if he had found a hint.

Didn’t others know to cut down trees?

Qin Tian directly walked over to a tree.

Now, without the Tree King’s control, those trees were indeed towering trees over ten meters tall, no different from ordinary trees.

Qin Tian drew out the Red Sword and tried to cut down a tree directly!

Crash!

The tree crashed down!

Just when Qin Tian thought there was nothing strange, he noticed that the fallen giant tree had disappeared from the ground!

Simultaneously, the position where the tree was cut down suddenly restored itself!

In other words, Qin Tian hadn’t cut down the tree at all!

"Why can’t it be cut down?"

Curious, Qin Tian once again used his sword to cut the giant tree.

However, the situation was exactly the same as before, the giant tree grew back again...

"Heh heh, it wasn’t that people back then didn’t cut trees, they must have tried and found out it couldn’t be cut down, so they gave up... But why can’t it be cut down?"

Qin Tian scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong, but couldn’t figure it out at the moment.

"Restriction... Tree King’s control... trees can’t be cut...people can’t get out... Damn, this must be fake, how can something so mystical exist in the world..."

Qin Tian’s head ached thinking about it, sighing aloud.

However, after sighing, he stopped in his tracks.

"Fake? Fake... I got it!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Suddenly, as if discovering a new continent, Qin Tian grinned fiercely, "Hahaha, so this restriction plays this trick! Really crafty!"

"This Heavenly Punishment Forest, damn it, is all an Illusion Mirror! It’s an illusion! Someone has controlled our illusions!"

"No wonder when we entered the Heavenly Punishment Forest earlier, I felt my head swell, and everyone heard strange sounds in their heads... It turns out, at that time, this so-called Heavenly Punishment Forest was already controlling our illusions... Really powerful!"

Understanding this, Qin Tian became excited. In the past, he had experiences breaking through illusions.

However, the difficulty he faced now was that this Illusion Mirror of the Heavenly Punishment Forest could subtly control the illusions of ten experts, including Long Jun and Long Jun’s time when he controlled tens of thousands of people’s illusions. With such a powerful restriction, could he break through?

"Could self-inflicting pain again allow me to break through the Heavenly Punishment Forest?"

Qin Tian lacked confidence in his heart, but he still wanted to try.

Usually, when a person falls into an illusion, intense pain can wake them quickly from the illusion.

So, Qin Tian began to use the Dragon Blood Dagger to lightly cut his skin, a stimulating pain!

Retracting all of his True Qi Shields, the Dragon Blood Dagger genuinely cut Qin Tian’s skin, and blood flowed directly...

"Hiss!"

Qin Tian winced from the pain, gritting his teeth, closing his eyes slightly.

He tightly closed his eyes, feeling the pain, and then opened his eyes!

"Damn!"

After opening his eyes and finding himself still in the Heavenly Punishment Forest, Qin Tian was instantly disappointed!

This trick didn’t work!

"Hiss..."

Qin Tian hurriedly put away the Dragon Blood Dagger, then used his qi to seal the blood vessels in his arm locally and took out medicine from his Storage Bag to heal himself.

"This trick doesn’t work... so what method would allow me to break through?"

Qin Tian now knew how those ten thousand of Long Jun’s people died; some might have been killed by the Tree King’s arrangements, while others were directly trapped in the Heavenly Punishment Forest and died from it!

"But in the end, Long Jun still managed to get out... although it was embarrassing..."

Qin Tian remembered the legend Zhou Yang told him and began to ponder deeply again.

Standing in place, he pondered deeply for over an hour.

Looking around, it was all white.

"Not only did Long Jun get out, but didn’t the Tree King come and go as he pleased?"

Qin Tian gritted his teeth, then his eyes lit up, "Right, I can try this method!"
