185: Chapter 185 This guy's got a real air about him!

"I don't know," Tian Cai shrugged, indicating he had no idea.

Upon hearing this, Song Yiqing immediately pinned him down. "You don't know?"

"How could I possibly know?" Tian Cai said with a calm expression. "I've never even been to this place."

"Then what about Wang Yao?" Song Yiqing asked quickly.

Immediately after, Tian Cai subconsciously added, "That is the reason he is here."

"..." Song Yiqing narrowed his eyes, then noticed Wang Shan to his front-side, glaring furiously at Tian Cai and cursing, "Beast!"

"????" Tian Cai was about to explain but suddenly felt like this was a repeat occurrence.

This is such a headache. Is saving the world these days always this troublesome?

He simply decided to shut his mouth. If he kept talking, someone else would start crying soon.

If someone cried again this time, things would get serious. Once the Black Fog arrived, none of them would be able to escape.

Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding; no one brought that up at this moment.

And Song Yiqing used the Yin Yang Corpse Driving Method to communicate directly with Wang Yao and ask about the escape route.

Just as Tian Cai had said, the latter's purpose for being here was to leave, so he had prepared relatively detailed directional information.

After a full ten minutes of sprinting, the group finally dove into a residential building.

Along the way, they encountered some rather strange-looking monsters. Their strength was all above the Mongoose Gate level; killing them required using quite a bit of Qi.

Fortunately, Tian Cai had joined the group, so in terms of firepower alone, they were well-equipped.

According to Wang Yao, the Black Fog moved in stages and was not aimless.

Now they had four hours to rest. Although everyone present was a cultivator and their need for sleep was drastically reduced,

the massive consumption of physical stamina was a very serious issue. This five-hour rest was crucial.

Song Yiqing used Hellfire to light a pile of firewood. The temperatures in different sections of the Lost Land were completely different.

The location they had been in before was like the scorching summer, but upon reaching this residential house, it felt like the dead of winter.

The fire made the wood crackle and pop. Taking advantage of the rest time, Song Yiqing asked a few questions.

"How did you get in here?" "Me?" Wang Yao scratched his head.

"At the time, we were inside the Black Sand Great Buddha Temple, but I accidentally found a path.

However, it led to the true depths, and at the same time, I realized that the enemies I would face after going deeper would be extremely terrifying, so I left a mark in the passage."

"Hmm." Song Yiqing nodded slightly. In reality, he asked this question to verify the other party's true identity.

After all, even if he looked like Wang Shan's father, one couldn't be absolutely certain he was the person himself. However, based on this answer, the identity could basically be confirmed.

"Continue." "Okay." Wang Yao controlled his stiff head and nodded slowly.

"After I left the mark, a voice rang in my ears. The voice was very hollow, like the feeling of something coming from the netherworld, and then I arrived here."

"..." Song Yiqing listened to his words, and his heart was surging with shock. He had heard a voice both times he left a forbidden area.

The first time, he didn't know who it was, but the second time, he understood that it must be the forbidden area itself. Immediately, he asked,

"What voice did you hear? What was the content of what the voice said?"

"It said the gears have already started turning, and no one can stop them."

"The gears have already started turning..." Song Yiqing muttered to himself.

But before he could ask, the fatty on the side couldn't help but ask,

"Could this voice be the forbidden area? After all, you heard this voice and then arrived in the Lost Land."

"I don't know," Wang Yao shook his head slightly.

The next second, everyone's gaze at the scene fell squarely on Tian Cai.

At this time, Lin Tianyi spoke up, "Tian Cai, since all of this is your plan, why could you ensure that Wang Yao entered the Lost Land?"

"?" Tian Cai spread his hands. "No? Did you guys miss a key point!!

This so-called plan is not a plan I plotted out; it is a general framework.

In this framework, we used the butterfly effect principle to stir events to develop in different directions.

And what needs to be done behind this is divination. In the process of my divination, the current progress is the only chance we have to solve the problem of the forbidden area's globalization!!"

"Too profound," the fatty shook his head slightly. "I can't understand it at all."

"No..." Tian Cai's mouth twitched. Suddenly, he felt it was difficult to explain.

Immediately, he looked at Song Yiqing, who was deep in thought. "Lord Song, you should be able to understand, right?"

"Roughly." Song Yiqing nodded slightly and then said, "You mean that you divined many times, but only calculated that this time is the only one that can succeed, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it, I divined many times." Tian Cai said, rubbing his stiff neck.

"You have no idea! Trying to peek at the secrets of heaven is truly exhausting. Only a righteous person like me would go to such great lengths."

"..." The fatty on the side immediately cast a look of disdain and then complained to Lin Tianyi, "This guy is such a poser!"

"Indeed." Lin Tianyi nodded in agreement.

The two men's voices were not loud, but they were audible to everyone present. For a moment, Tian Cai felt extremely awkward.

However, he gave a light cough and changed the subject. "Ahem, enough, talking about this is meaningless. Only those in the trade can understand my contribution. Let's talk about how to walk out of the Lost Land."

As he said this, he signaled to Wang Yao. "Brother Yao, tell us about it."

"Alright." Wang Yao nodded slightly. "I have already explained the general map of the Lost Land to you just now. Based on my observations over these years, once you enter the Lost Land, it is impossible to leave."

"????" "?????" "????" In an instant, everyone at the scene looked at Wang Yao with confused expressions.

"No?? Wait," the fatty said in surprise. "There's really no way to leave? Then isn't this so-called only chance just nonsense? Some old Taoist priest who thinks he's higher than the sky was bragging so loudly!"

"?"
