Chapter 409: Chapter 0295: This Trick is Still Very Effective_2 Chapter 409: Chapter 0295: This Trick is Still Very Effective_2 Qi Tian had no interest in getting involved in this. Having executed the Ape King Sun Xiaotian, he caused a significant commotion and knew he needed to leave imdiately to avoid any possible encirclent. His palm flashed with a black hole, a Transporting Whirlwind appeared, sweeping away the corpses of Ape King Sun Xiaotian and others. Then, he turned and left.
Not even three minutes after Qi Tian had left, a cultivator arrived on the spot. After examining the scene, he pointed in the direction where Qi Tian and Chen Yuben had left, and instructed, “You go that way; I’ll go this way.”
Qi Tian was in a tough spot this ti. Hours passed, and the Heavenly Dao Engine kept feeding him back. Behind him, there was an entity with constant Spirit Qi fluctuations following him. The gap between him and the other party was not widening, but was closing instead.
Without thinking, Qi Tian knew that he had probably bumped into one of those legendary tracking experts. As long as they caught a whiff of a clue, they could pursue their target. On his trek, Qi Tian could barely avoid leaving traces, especially his scent, which was undoubtedly unavoidable.
Thinking of his scent, a ray of light flashed through Qi Tian’s mind. Shouldn’t the energy be present in the scent emitted from his body? Can the Heavenly Dao Engine whisk it away?
No sooner had he thought of it than he tried it. Qi Tian released a Transporting Whirlwind, commanding it to sweep away his emitted scent. To his surprise, it worked. Qi Tian lifted his arm, slled his armpit, and detected no sweat stench.
Qi Tian was overjoyed. While traversing, the most significant trace he left behind was his scent. Now that even the scent he exuded could be swept away by the Heavenly Dao Engine, even if it was slightly disproportionate, he was still gaining. A perfect thod of concealing his tracks. With it, why would he fear others tracking him?
Qi Tian continued forward, constantly using the Heavenly Dao Engine to whisk away his scent. Within less than five minutes, the cultivator tracking him from behind lost Qi Tian’s direction and could not track him anymore. Naturally, the distance between both of them grew wider.
However, this resulted in Qi Tian delving deeper into the heart of Yi Lian Mountain.
Qi Tian pondered using the crane statue, powered by top-grade spirit stones, to take advantage of the statue’s speed and flee Yi Lian Mountain. However, after so thought, he dismissed the idea, as the top-grade spirit stones were simply too precious. Without being driven to the brink, Qi Tian was reluctant to consu such precious resources.
Qi Tian pondered whether he could use the Teleportation Array Disk to temporarily escape to Wanjie City. This thought was also put on hold for the ti being. While the Teleportation Array Disk could teleport him directly to Wanjie City, its weakness was plainly evident. Teleporting would cause spatial fluctuations, and after teleporting him, the Teleportation Array Disk would remain in place. If soone discovered his Teleportation Array Disk and took it, that would put him in a jam. At best, it would prevent him from returning here in the future; at worst, he might beco lost in a Spaceti Turbulence and be trapped or torn apart by it.
The best place for Qi Tian to use the Teleportation Array Disk would be sowhere safer than Yi Lian Mountain, which was fraught with danger.
Qi Tian planned to try sothing more conventional. The Heavenly Dao Engine could help him detect the presence of all Spirit Qi within its range, aning he could naturally detect nearby beasts and cultivators. So, before they discovered him, he could completely avoid them by choosing a relatively safe path. However, this thod was not foolproof. After all, the Heavenly Dao Engine’s sensing range was limited, and if the Engine detected people everywhere, he would be left in a bind.
Yet compared to using the Teleportation Array Disk or the Crane Bronze statue, this was the safest thod he had thought of. As for the option of flying through the sky on a flying sword, he had early on rejected that idea. Yi Lian Mountain now gathered so many people that if he were to fly through the sky, he would beco the most visible target, undoubtedly intercepted by countless individuals.
Having decided on his plan, Qi Tian began to attempt it. Initially, things went smoothly. After all, nobody expected he possessed such a treasure as the Heavenly Dao Engine, and Yi Lian Mountain was so vast that there were plenty of loopholes for him to exploit.
In the first two days, Qi Tian advanced over two hundred miles outward from the depths of Yi Lian Mountain, leaving its depths and reaching its mid-region. According to this pace, another three to five days and he would be able to leave the mid-region and reach the outskirts of Yi Lian Mountain. By that ti, the outskirts of Yi Lian Mountain was vast and spanned thousands of miles, finding a place to leave from would be all too easy.
However, Qi Tian soon found he was too optimistic. Just as he entered the mid-region of Yi Lian Mountain, a swarm of Demonic Birds flew over from the sky. The leading one was all white-feathered with blood-red eyes. If Qi Tian could see it, he could instantly recognize it was a Half-step Golden Core Zombie Demonic Beast.
This goose-shaped Zombie Demonic Beast led a group of Demonic Birds, beginning to circle in the sky above Yi Lian Mountain. They flew high in the sky, flapping their wings once and soaring hundreds to thousands of ters. Their vision was sharp, able to see the ground situation from the heights, even though many parts of Yi Lian Mountain was covered by dense forest, there were still barren places. If there was any movent on the ground, there was a significant chance it would be caught.
The swarm of Demonic Birds kept a high distance from the ground, not a thousand ters, but at least seven to eight hundred. This distance has already exceeded the Heavenly Dao Engine’s sense range. Fortunately, Qi Tian remained extrely vigilant. As soone who studied how to build aviation engines in his previous life, he was fully aware of threats from the sky.
The swarm of Demonic Birds was very cautious when they flew over, silent without a single call from above. But Qi Tian would glance at the sky after a certain distance travelled. He saw the approaching Demonic Birds from afar and hid imdiately.
Qi Tian wasn’t sure whether the Demonic Birds were searching for him or were on so other mission. He couldn’t even confirm whether these birds were truly Demonic Birds, but he understood how to analyze and judge the situation.
Firstly, he noticed that the Demonic Birds were a complete mix of species, which is absolutely impossible in the natural world. Different species of birds rarely flock together unless a foreign force forcibly grouped them together, an incident that is otherwise impossible.
From this, Qi Tian confird the identities of the Demonic Birds. This was enough to keep him on alert. Although these birds may not necessarily be controlled by others, the sight of so many Demonic Birds in the sky was a dangerous signal in itself. Just like when an eagle hunts a rabbit, the rabbit starts to stay alert the mont it spots the eagle in the sky, without having a chance to relax.
The sa was true for Qi Tian. Alone and helpless in Yi Lian Mountain, a single mistake would leave him with no room for correction or rescue. He has to be more cautious and careful than a rabbit to safely leave from Yi Lian Mountain.
Having confird the identities of these Demonic Birds, Qi Tian hid himself and remained motionless, observing the movent of the Demonic Birds. He ntally assigned a number to each bird and observed their flight patterns, trying to find a pattern.
This move paid off, making him more convinced that these Demonic Birds were under soone’s command and not wild Demonic Birds without supervision.
