Chapter 185 – No Way Out

The moment the illusion had disappeared, the bronze ring on Qinghan’s left hand flickered before it exulted the white flow. Instantly, the flow penetrated into his whole body. He felt even that his soul was completely refreshed. Gradually, he dropped the dagger in his hands, and the redness in his eyes slowly died away. He was sober again.

- Hu, Hu! -

Being exhausted, Qinghan bent himself gasping hardly. He looked terribly fatigued. Although in the illusion, he had tried his utmost to stay sober, yet he found his willpower vulnerable in front of the frenzied murderous intent. He had no clue, up until now, that the hidden force had driven him to be a maniac in slaughter.

It was just like, when one decided to do something indecent, he did know the amoral side of the consequences, but he just couldn’t convince himself not to do it because of his weak willpower. Afterwards, he might have some remorse, but that couldn’t change anything.

The difference was… Qinghan’s driven power of his killing action was from the mysterious Luo Shen Mountain. When he was in the illusion, he simply was deprived of the ability to control himself mentally, as if his soul was possessed by some evil spirit.

“Boss, you survived yet another scene! This ring is awesome! I never knew it has the function to heal your soul!” Little Black conveyed his voice in the summoning space, as he comforted his master.

As a battle beast, Little Black also had a soul. In the illusions, he was also affected in one way or another. Therefore, Qinghan had asked him to stay in the summoning space, lest his beast be killed by his own uncontrollable killing intent.

“Heaven, the illusions have become much more powerful now. For me, it’s just a matter of time to die in this damn mountain if the illusions keep coming, and keep becoming more powerful.” Qinghan was completely thwarted at this stage, for he couldn’t turn to anybody for help.

……

“You woke up, eh? So quickly! It seems your battle beast’s soul level is pretty high as well!” A moment later, the familiar voice rang out once again, from somewhere within the mountain.

“Ah!”

This time, Qinghan jumped up from the ground, as some traces of surprise and excitement appeared on his face.

“This voice… ha, it’s not an illusion. Yeah, now I’m definitely sure about this!”

Every time the illusion had gone away, he was sober with the aid of the white flow. He was, therefore, quite certain that this voice wasn’t coming from an illusion. Remembering what this voice had told him this morning, Qinghan began to believe in its credibility.

“Ancestor, ancestor! Where are you? Why did you convey your voice to me? Are you going to help me out?” A second before, Qinghan had been so desperate and helpless; now, however, he was excited by his prediction that this person, who called himself ancestor, might lend him a hand, thus helping him out of this misery. Almost hysterically, Qinghan screamed to the air, as his head turned around in every direction.

The voice came again, which sounded very gentle and a little bit cheerful, as if he was happy with Qinghans’ recognition.

“Hey, kid. Don’t be so excited. Errr… Honestly, I can’t sneak into the Luo Shen Mountain and help you. Neither am I in the vicinity of this mountain. Hmm, Actually, I’m on my way to Concealed Island. Remember, kid, no one can save you except yourself!”
