132: Chapter 132 They've Arrived

"Ah???"

Lu Ziliang looked on in astonishment as they began to sprint along the edge of the side hall, completely ignoring the giant monster frantically slaughtering in the center of the hall.

"Wait, you guys??? You're just running away like this???"

At this moment, Lord Pang immediately replied enthusiastically, "Since Lord Song said to run, we run!"

"???" Lu Ziliang was stunned again. He had imagined the situation when Song Yiqing and the others arrived here, and had imagined that the situation might be overturned. But this result, where they didn't even look and just ran, was something he had never expected.

At this time, Ding Sixing spoke up, "Song Yiqing must have his own reasons! That's why he's running!"

"Reasons, my foot!" Shi Yao snapped angrily. "From the first time I saw his live stream, I knew this guy was just a cold-blooded thing. The reason he wanted to enter the Taklamakan Desert Forbidden Zone was purely for his own purposes! Not to save humanity!"

"Professor Shi," Ding Sixing continued to argue, "There must be a special reason behind this."

"Little Ding, you are still young..." Shi Yao shook his head slightly. "Don't let his extraordinary combat power fool you. The stronger a person is, the more selfish they are. You must remember this."

"..." Ding Sixing did not speak, still holding onto the hope in his heart that Song Yiqing was not that cold-blooded.

And when the scene of Song Yiqing leading the others to run was broadcast to the live stream, the viewers were equally stunned, but soon they began to flood the chat.

[Good, good, good! Encountering a strong enemy and the first thought is to run? As expected of you, Song Yiqing!]

[From this one action alone, I can be 100% sure that this person is the real Song Yiqing!! Definitely not a Pseudo-human!]

[That's right, both strong and cautious—I can't think of anyone else besides Song Yiqing!]

[You people, how can you have such an attitude? He left, doesn't that mean the Wild Wolf Archaeological Expedition team is now at risk of casualties?]

[Exactly! Although Song Yiqing barely resolved the crisis in the Taklamakan Desert Forbidden Zone, at the end of the day, nothing is set in stone yet. Fighting alone is definitely not enough! Not cooperating is a stupid idea!]

[The two haters above, you've been holding that in for a long time just to hate, haven't you?]

[Hilarious, you're hating on this too? Song Yiqing being alive is already the biggest surprise! For us, as long as Song Yiqing is alive and can resist the forbidden zone, we have a real chance!]

The online controversy was intense, but most people still supported Song Yiqing's choice. When facing danger, choosing not to protect oneself but instead blindly going to one's death was clearly not the best strategy.

Meanwhile, on the live stream screen, a monster that looked 70% similar to the Gate-Keeping Beast was entangled in a fight with two people.

One of them, an agile young man wearing a Zhongshan suit—Zhe Ningchuan—after violently throwing a punch, used his immense Qi to temporarily suppress the incoming monster.

At the same time, he also noticed Song Yiqing and his group running away. He narrowed his eyes slightly, said nothing, and continued to fight.

On the other side, the monk Li Jun, holding a Buddhist staff and chanting Sanskrit sounds, seemed completely indifferent to the world outside. Every time he chanted, it constantly interfered with the monster that looked similar to the Gate-Keeping Beast.

But the next second, Zhe Ningchuan, who was diagonally opposite him, said an extremely strange sentence to him. Then, the Sanskrit sounds coming from Li Jun's mouth quietly changed.

Immediately after, the monster that was originally in the midst of a fierce battle suddenly turned its head and swung its tentacles in an instant. Bang!!!

The tentacles slammed directly onto the path Song Yiqing and the others were charging along. At the moment the tentacle fell, Wang Xianzhi drew her sword with a 'clang', and the sword energy instantly shattered the tentacle.

The half-severed tentacle slowly retracted, and then the huge mouthparts slowly opened, with a small green figure hanging inside. It kept making a creepy laughing sound, "Hee hee hee—" "Hee hee hee!"

Then, the laughter stopped abruptly. Its gaze landed on Song Yiqing. "It's you! It's you." "..."

Song Yiqing did not respond. Just a moment ago, his hearing, enhanced by the Thunder Listening and Acupuncture Point Fixing ability, had already captured the sentence Zhe Ningchuan said. Although the words were obscure and difficult to understand, Song Yiqing had understood them the moment he caught them: 'They are here.'

But it was after these four words that the monk over there changed the tone of his Sanskrit chanting. All of this was within Song Yiqing's observation. It wasn't that he was overly cautious, but that this forbidden zone was too treacherous, and human hearts were even harder to guard against!

Being a little more thoughtful is never wrong, otherwise, one might end up like some poor wretches who were eaten by their own people. However, there was one more troublesome matter now: his Qi was running a bit low.

Inside the Queens Palace in the Taklamakan Desert, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exceptionally abundant, as if he had arrived in a new world. But here, it was relatively barren; perhaps it was because he hadn't truly reached the area where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant.

Because of this, to solve the current trouble, he had to calculate carefully. Without hesitation, he softly called out various directions, commanding the whole scene like a general deploying troops.

And Lu Ziliang and the special forces soldiers of the Wild Wolf Expedition team quickly provided support and coordination. In this side hall, there were countless Arhat statues, which turned out to be good cover.

Between dodging and moving, the group constantly avoided the incoming tentacle attacks, while also launching counterattacks under Song Yiqing's command.

Lin Tianyi and the others, after being baptized by the spiritual energy of the Queens Palace, had already entered the ranks of practitioners. At first, they were not used to it, but now, due to years of being in adventurous crises, their bodies had adapted very quickly. Compared to using guns, the damage they caused with knives now was comparable to that of Guo Xueyan when she took the drugs before.

"Old Lin! Can you do it or not!! You only cut such a small wound. Take a good look at how Lord Pang's Invincible Heaven and Earth Spiral Slash deals damage. Die!!!"

Bang!!! As the blade fell, the next second he was sent flying by a tentacle.

And it was at this moment that Zhe Ningchuan, wearing the Zhongshan suit, stepped up, easily catching the fat man as lightly as a wild goose. However, he did not stop there, instead, he burst forward in an instant, approaching the monster in the blink of an eye. At the same time, he made a fist with his right hand and swung it again.

Bang!!! With one punch, a huge wound exploded on the monster's chest.

Without waiting for Song Yiqing's orders, Wang Xianzhi seized the opportunity. With a light tap of her toes, her figure flickered as she swung her long sword. "Break!"
