108: Chapter 108 Step Back, I'll Take Over

Wang Xianzhi spoke softly, yet her voice exploded across the scene like a great bronze bell.

However, Lin Tianyi did not stop his shooting.

He knew very well that the most important thing at this stage was to buy time for Wang Xianzhi.

"Fatty!! Wang Shan!!"

Lin Tianyi roared, and the two of them, sharing a tacit understanding, continuously used the Feng Shui formation previously laid out by Song Yiqing to harass the Mongoose Gate.

Wang Xianzhi stood in place, took a breath, and felt the residual Sword Intent belonging to the Blind Man that lingered in all directions.

She closed her eyes, as if at this moment, she was the only sword between heaven and earth.

"Master, I understand!"

Wang Xianzhi opened her eyes, and the longsword in her hand suddenly swung out.

Boom!!!

...

The fierce sword light instantly flooded the livestream room, causing the signal to vanish in that moment.

All the viewers currently watching the livestream were stunned.

Their hearts were in their throats, only for the signal to completely disappear at this critical juncture.

For a moment, everyone was incredibly frantic.

[Holy crap?? What's the situation? What's going on? Don't tell me Wang Xianzhi is going to freaking die too!!]

[What kind of bullshit forbidden zone is this!! The Blind Man is dead! Song Yiqing is dead! Is Wang Xianzhi going to die too?]

[If every single one of them dies, will we never have the chance to uncover the truth of the forbidden zone?]

[Wuwuwu! No, please no! I don't want to die, I really don't want to die, I'm begging you, begging you!!]

[Oh Heavens! Why are you treating us like this? Why create a forbidden zone just to kill us!]

...

Inside a vehicle with an absolutely private space, Mo Yu and Yu Lin had met up, and they were also constantly watching the livestream.

When they saw these various tragic scenes, expressions of profound loss appeared on their faces.

Yu Lin slowly closed his eyes and murmured,

"The road for humanity to confront the forbidden zones is long and arduous."

"At least, we witnessed an unyielding will."

Mo Yu shook his head slightly and let out a deep sigh.

The middle-aged man sitting opposite them said in a low voice,

"Some things are destined and cannot be changed; we can only keep learning through trial and error."

...

Within the Flying Tiger Archaeological Expedition Team,

After Song Yiqing's livestream disappeared, the mood of the crowd on-site became increasingly depressed.

When Song Yiqing was still alive, their pace of advancement was very fast.

Because the real dangers had already been cleared away.

But now, with Song Yiqing's actual death, everyone felt a strong sense of dread.

They were afraid again.

But at this moment, Fei Erfeng shouted sternly,

"Look at yourselves!! Most of you are senior fellow students from the same school as Song Yiqing after all."

"Why are you afraid when your junior brother has sacrificed his life for the Great Xia!"

Hearing this, the crowd showed looks of embarrassment.

But just then, a figure slowly stepped out from the crowd.

Xue Xingye strode forward with his head held high, passing through the crowd and heading straight into the depths.

His look of utter resolve left everyone feeling surprised.

Bai Yao frowned as she looked at Yi Menglian beside her.

"Does he think he looks cool like this? He's clearly a clown!"

"Uh..."

Yi Menglian was slightly embarrassed and then explained on behalf of Xue Xingye,

"I don't think someone who still has the courage to move forward at a time like this counts as a clown. In fact, it's quite heroic, isn't it? He's doing it for humanity too."

"..."

Bai Yao didn't respond, only feeling in her heart that the power of money was indeed formidable, able to change a person's outlook in just a few short hours.

...

On the plane,

Tan Wei also put away his phone after the livestream went black, then said to Hou Kun,

"Brother Kun, this Wang Xianzhi really is extraordinary; she actually managed to comprehend Sword Intent through the Blind Man's death."

"Tsk tsk... what a pity! They all underestimated the power of the Mongoose Gate."

"If it could be killed, how could it have guarded the forbidden zone for so long?"

"In fact, even if they could kill it, they wouldn't be able to go very deep."

Hou Kun shook his head slightly.

"I once heard the old timers mention it when they were drunk."

"The true danger of the forbidden zone lies within this Mongoose Gate."

"That is the truly terrifying place; the existence of the Mongoose Gate is to protect these ordinary people."

"That's why I said we shouldn't go,"

Tan Wei laughed,

"That place is still a bit dangerous. Even if there's some variable,"

"it's these people who die. What does it have to do with our Penglai? Am I right?"

"No,"

Hou Kun shook his head slightly.

"The existence of the forbidden zone, in fact, protects Penglai to a certain extent."

"Huh??"

Tan Wei had never heard of this theory before and was momentarily confused.

"Brother Kun, do you know something? Give me a hint."

"It's nothing,"

Hou Kun shook his head slightly.

"The variable this time must be investigated clearly; otherwise, it will be a bit troublesome for us as well."

"Sigh, alright, alright,"

Tan Wei waved his hand and spoke,

"Brother Kun has spent too much time with the old timers and has started to like being mysterious too. It's really boring."

...

Meanwhile, inside the Demon Tower,

After Wang Xianzhi swung that sword and completely slew the Mongoose Gate,

she also collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

Lin Tianyi hurriedly rushed forward.

"Hey? Wake up!! Wake up!! Quickly wake up!!"

"Old Lin, give her some medicine!"

As Fatty spoke, he handed over a bottle of pills, and Lin Tianyi fed them to Wang Xianzhi.

But just as he wanted to call out a few more times,

Wang Shan suddenly came to their side and whispered,

"Someone's coming!"

"Who?"

Fatty quickly stood up, pulling the bolt of the rifle in his hand, looking with a grave expression at the figure that was beginning to manifest in everyone's sight.

"Kang Mo!!"

Fatty often watched the livestreams and recognized at a glance that the other person was Kang Mo from the Flying Tiger Archaeology Team.

And appearing here suddenly at a time like this undoubtedly indicated one thing:

He was a problem!!

A massive problem!!

"Don't move!! If you come any closer, I'll shoot!!"

"Hehehe,"

Kang Mo smiled faintly, his face full of calm composure, without the slightest hint of fear or dread.

He first glanced at Wang Xianzhi lying over there, then said,

"Alright, stop shaking her, she's not dead. She just comprehended Sword Intent and then went to slay the Mongoose Gate; it's normal to be exhausted."

"I said! Don't come over, or..."

Just as Fatty was about to continue, the next second he felt a hand on his shoulder.

He whipped his head around to look,

"Lord Song!! Lord Song! You're not dead, you're actually not dead!!"

But what truly stunned Fatty was the fiery heat coming from the other man's body, as if a small atomic bomb was expanding and about to explode!

Song Yiqing patted his shoulder again.

"Step back, let me handle this."
