Just as Shi Potian guessed, Duan Gujin hadn't returned to the team; he was lost in the Forbidden Land and hadn't escaped it. Instead, he had returned to the Fire Cave.
"Heavens! What is going on, how did I end up back in this cursed place?"
He gasped, his eyes flickering with confusion, truly unable to understand why he had returned to the Fire Cave.
Without dwelling too much on it, he quickly entered the nearby dense forest, feeling that he needed to traverse the woods to get out of the Forbidden Land.
However, after wandering a long distance in the forest, he realized he was still trapped there and hadn't escaped.
"How could this be? Is this forest a maze? Are all living creatures who enter destined to wander aimlessly?"
He pondered this possibility.
Originally intending to use a Flying Technique, he quickly realized his body felt as heavy as if being crushed by Mount Tai; any attempt at flight grounded him severely.
"This Forbidden Space Array here is incredibly powerful!"
