138: Chapter 138 Who exactly is he?

For a moment, there was no movement at the scene.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them.

Even someone as strong as Wang Xianzhi could only stand by leaning on her sword now; excessive exhaustion had long since made her body go soft.

To clear the way for Zhang Qilin, she had consumed what little physical strength she had left, and her remaining Qi was almost gone.

"Is it still not enough?"

Wang Xianzhi murmured.

"Is it really impossible for me to fight him?"

"How did it come to this... We don't even have time to catch our breath..."

Lord Pang looked at the scene before him with a hint of despair.

"Lord Song is trapped with his fate unknown, and Little Brother has also fallen in. Who will be next..."

"Pull yourself together!"

Lin Tianyi shouted.

"Don't act like it's the end of the world here; we haven't reached the final impasse yet!

Moreover, every time they say Song Yiqing is dead,"

but every time, Song Yiqing slaps them across the face! This time will be no exception!"

"Old Lin..."

Lord Pang's voice gradually weakened as his fighting spirit dissipated into nothingness.

...

Inside the Wild Wolf Archaeological Expedition Team's livestream room,

[Good heavens!! Little Brother is trapped too!]

[How can they even fight? So many people have died already!]

[I really didn't expect such a dangerous situation right at the entrance!]

[It's mainly because they haven't rested; they simply haven't had any time to recover their Qi! Physical exhaustion is also a huge problem,]

[What the hell, they're both Forbidden Zones, so why is the danger level of the Black Sand Great Buddha Temple so much higher??]

[I don't think it's that much more dangerous; it's because someone is intentionally targeting Song Yiqing and the others!

You can see the clues just from the mutation of the special forces soldiers!

Penglai has already laid out various schemes in the shadows!

Their goal is to stop Song Yiqing!!]

...

Yu Lin and Mo Yu had already entered the forest. After passing through layers of cover, they went to a relatively hidden safe house.

Inside, an elderly man in a Taoist robe with the word 'Penglai' on it had been waiting for a long time.

When he saw Yu Lin and Mo Yu arrive, he spoke quickly.

"The situation has changed."

"What?"

Yu Lin was startled.

"What happened?"

"The situation is very bad."

The old man handed a stone tablet to the two of them and said,

"Looking at the current situation, there is still a layer of Forbidden Zone power restriction here.

Without the key, entry is impossible.

And if you want to enter without the key, then this Second Forbidden Zone must be cleared before it can be opened."

"..."

Yu Lin looked at the jumping symbols on the stone tablet and fell into silence.

On their way here, they had learned of the extremely dangerous events occurring within the Black Sand Great Buddha Temple via satellite communication.

Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin were trapped one after another.

The physical energy and Qi of Wang Xianzhi and the others were reaching critical levels.

Originally, he thought that if they could enter the Penglai underground first,

they might be able to alleviate the decline.

But the situation described by the old man

was like a blow to the head.

*Clack!*

Mo Yu sat on a stool nearby, his elbows propped on his knees to support his body. He stared at the floor in front of him and murmured,

"Is it going to be a failure just like fifteen years ago? Are we really unable to cross the Second Forbidden Zone in our entire lives?

Where... is the hope for humanity..."

He kept talking.

At this time, the elder in the Taoist robe—Yan Ningrui—spoke up,

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. After all, from the beginning, no one ever thought an expedition or Archaeological Team would successfully open the Mongoose Gate,"

"much less did anyone imagine they could actually resolve a Forbidden Zone."

"All of this is a pleasant surprise in itself, isn't it, gentlemen?"

"Whew—"

Yu Lin took a deep breath and nodded.

"Daoist Yan is right. Song Yiqing was not part of the original plan."

"It's just that his appearance accelerated everything,"

"and now, it's simply time for them to exit the stage."

"So what do we do now?"

Mo Yu asked.

Yu Lin and Yan Ningrui said in unison,

"Wait!"

"Wait."

...

Meanwhile, on the livestream screen,

Lin Tianyi gripped his blade once more.

"The tuo luo flower hasn't been found yet, and our clansmen are facing their greatest crisis of death."

"I must rescue Song Yiqing!"

"Only he can lead us to find the tuo luo flower!"

"Old Lin..."

Lord Pang spoke up, then steeled himself and gritted his teeth.

"Dammit!! Lord Pang doesn't believe it!! There's no way this damn monster can't be broken through!!"

"Don't go over there!"

Just as he was speaking, Zhe Ningchuan raised a hand to stop him.

"There's movement inside!"

"What?"

While Lord Pang was confused, he saw a slightly relieved expression on Wang Xianzhi's face.

He might not trust Zhe Ningchuan that much, but Wang Xianzhi, who was dead set on fighting Song Yiqing, could clearly be trusted.

"Little Wang Sword Saint!! Is what he said true?"

?

Wang Xianzhi's lips twitched, but she suppressed her anger and squeezed out a sentence through her teeth.

"I can feel Song Yiqing's Qi! He—isn't dead!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the scene instantly became a stir.

Everyone had a feeling of disbelief.

But suddenly, a large number of Blue-faced Buddha Men began to emerge from all directions again. They had no intelligence and only knew how to attack frantically.

"Old Lin!! Don't think about anything else, just stay alive yourself!"

"Phew—"

Lin Tianyi temporarily suppressed his impulse and began to deal with these Blue-faced Buddha Men.

But suddenly,

a tentacle suddenly shot out from his side at an extremely bizarre angle, directly piercing through a Blue-faced Buddha Man!

"What's going on?"

Lin Tianyi was shocked.

Turning his head sharply, he saw tentacles coming down once again like a rainstorm.

But unlike the previous attacks they had encountered,

this time, every single tentacle was targeting the Blue-faced Buddha Men!

Bang bang bang!!!

Bang bang bang!!!

In an instant, those originally troublesome three-inch Blue-faced Buddha Men were blasted into powder one by one.

At the same time, Song Yiqing, who had been trapped in the distance, was being carried away by Zhang Qilin, his face pale.

"Go!"

Song Yiqing only said one word before completely losing his strength.

Everyone was a bit stunned watching this.

At the same time, a series of unbelievable thoughts popped into their minds.

'He turned the tide of battle again?'

Everyone looked at each other, and then quickly ran to keep up with Zhang Qilin's figure.

However, just as they began to flee,

the tentacles that had been falling like rain slowly stopped. As if they had just come to their senses, they all looked toward Song Yiqing.

"Who exactly is he?"

...
