152: Chapter 152 No Destruction, No Construction

"Hehehe,"

Kang Mo smiled faintly and then said,

"Letting you enter the deepest part, letting you slaughter your way through this Second Forbidden Zone, the Black Sand Great Buddha Temple,"

"..."

Song Yiqing looked at him, falling into silence for a moment. Previously, when they were outside the Mongoose Gate in the first forbidden land, the Taklamakan Desert,

the words the other party had spoken and the actions he had taken could be said to have very successfully gained his trust.

But now, suddenly appearing here, just as he felt something was wrong,

the man was demanding that he continue deeper.

The strangeness behind this caused Song Yiqing to begin doubting Kang Mo.

He didn't trust anyone; he only trusted those whose actions aligned with his own judgment.

If their paths diverged, then they were no longer on the same road.

"Destruction before creation,"

Kang Mo's tone remained very calm, as if he were speaking of something completely ordinary.

But just then,

the fatty in the distance cried out in alarm,

"Lord Song!! The Flying Tiger Archaeology Team all died earlier, but Kang Mo is still alive—he definitely has a problem!!

And most importantly, the person who killed the Flying Tiger Archaeology Team is standing right behind Kang Mo!!"

"Oh?"

Hearing these words, Song Yiqing also looked toward Kang Mo with doubt.

He naturally knew that Kang Mo was not simple and was certainly extremely powerful,

but now he was staying with the murderer who had killed the members of the Flying Tiger Archaeology Team.

Song Yiqing couldn't quite figure out what was being planned behind the scenes for the moment.

However, Song Yiqing noticed that the man standing behind Kang Mo seemed to resent him deeply.

'Hmm? Why? Why the resentment? I don't think I know him, do I?'

Filled with doubt, Song Yiqing quickly scanned his mind for people he had offended.

After thinking carefully, most of those he had offended were basically dead.

So what was the deal with this one?

While he was wondering,

Kang Mo spoke once more,

"Everything is predestined; death is predestined.

Your need to enter the Third Forbidden Land is likewise predestined."

"..."

Song Yiqing fell silent again. He was still hesitating; as of now, the system challenge mission had not appeared.

He didn't dare to jump to a conclusion rashly.

...

In the bullet chat area,

[Wait!! Why? Why is Kang Mo still alive?]

[Holy crap!! Holy crap! And Xue Xingye is there too!! This kid is the real killer!]

[My god! This is freaking damning!]

[Lord Song, whatever you do, don't listen to that old geezer Kang Mo's bullshit; he definitely has a conspiracy!!]

[Wait! A conspiracy? Does that mean you really can't go into the deepest part?]

[Does it mean a huge crisis will occur once you actually go inside?]

[Hiss—that text message from fifteen years ago, could it be real?]

[Holy crap! Lord Song's judgment was right!]

[Don't go down! This is absolutely problematic!]

In an instant, with Kang Mo's appearance and his speech, the viewers were immediately excited; they also instantly snapped to their senses, realizing that once the Second Forbidden Zone was cleared,

it was highly likely to lead to an extremely dangerous situation.

Inside the Xue Group's boardroom,

Xue Heng watched Kang Mo's appearance, and when he saw his son's cold face,

his heart skipped a beat.

'Strange, why does Xingye seem like a normal person now? Could it be that he has completely recovered?'

At this thought, he secretly cursed with regret; had he known, he would have used the experiment on himself.

Then he broke into a smile and said,

"Elder Wei, I didn't expect you to have so many backup plans. This Kang Mo is actually one of your men too? Truly impressive!!

Even heaven's calculations aren't as good as yours!"

"He is not my man,"

The calm expression on Wei Chengjun's face slowly vanished at this moment.

He stood up and slowly walked closer, his brow already furrowed.

When Xue Heng noticed this, he inexplicably became a bit nervous.

"But... but this Kang Mo said he wants Song Yiqing to go to the Third Forbidden Land, why... why is that?"

"..."

Wei Chengjun did not answer his question, but simply stared fixedly at the screen.

After a full ten seconds, he muttered to himself,

"Destruction before creation, destruction before creation... what on earth are you planning?

Once he goes in, there will be no turning back. What other cards do you have to play?"

As he spoke, his gaze became even sharper, giving off a feeling that anyone who met his eyes might be killed.

This left Xue Heng standing in place, not daring to even think of chiming in.

But at that moment, Wen Xiuya's phone called in again.

Ring, ring, ring—

The urgent ringing made Xue Heng even more flustered.

He scrambled to answer the phone, suppressing the anger and fear in his heart to ask what was the matter.

But this time, Wen Xiuya's words left him confused once more.

"What? What did you say? The monsters in the Fifth Forbidden Zone are growing at a visible rate? What does that mean?

They're getting stronger?"

On the phone, Wen Xiuya said excitedly,

"It's not just a little bit stronger, it's a leap in rank!! Based on the assessment, the weakest monsters in the Fifth Forbidden Zone now have reached the level of a Gate-Keeping Beast!!"

"What!"

Xue Heng cried out in shock, and his voice quickly drew Wei Chengjun's attention.

He then hurriedly hung up the phone and recounted the situation Wen Xiuya had described.

But Wei Chengjun's lips curled up slightly.

"Hehehe, so I was overthinking it after all. A new game has begun,

how could there possibly be any chance for a comeback?"

"Elder Wei..."

Xue Heng didn't quite understand. After speaking up, he shut his mouth.

But then, Wei Chengjun said,

"The riddle has been solved. When the door to the deepest part of this Second Forbidden Zone is opened,

then everything will undergo a massive change.

The power of the forbidden zones will be further released!"

"The power of the forbidden zones?"

Xue Heng was shocked by this description.

He swallowed hard, feeling a slight sense of unease in his heart. He felt that the current direction of events seemed to be heading toward something unpredictable.

Immediately after, Wen Xiuya's phone called in again.

"Speak!"

Xue Heng spoke in a heavy voice, and Wen Xiuya quickly reported,

"The Sixth Forbidden Zone! The Seventh Forbidden Zone! The Eighth Forbidden Zone! They've all appeared!!"

"What?? Three forbidden zones appeared in succession?"

Xue Heng exclaimed in surprise, but then, connecting it to what Wei Chengjun had just said, he asked in astonishment,

"Does opening the door to the deepest part of the Second Forbidden Zone actually increase the probability of forbidden zones appearing?"

"Hehehehe,"

Wei Chengjun chuckled lightly.

"It's not an increase in frequency; they will increase one after another!

The forbidden zones will soon completely shroud the entire Blue Planet!"
