168: Chapter 168 The Lost Land!

When the news from the Forbidden Land Exploration Official reached everyone's phones, disbelief was written all over their faces. Then, at that very moment, all of Great Xia fell into a frenzy of celebration.

"The Second Forbidden Zone!!" "The Black Sand Great Buddha Temple has vanished!!" "Song Yiqing has succeeded!!" "Great Xia has succeeded again!!" "Humanity will not perish!! We will not lose!!" Everyone began to cheer excitedly and loudly.

As more and more regions have fallen and become forbidden zones, people today have already begun to migrate. They were filled with confusion about the road ahead, until the news of this victory arrived, giving them a glimmer of light called hope. Everyone was excited; everyone was exceptionally exhilarated.

However, things often take a turn when they reach an extreme. A message suddenly appeared on everyone's phones. The header of the message was titled 'Penglai', and the content was a statement that made people furious.

[Do you think you have won? You are wrong; you have lost! Once Song Yiqing completely annihilated the Second Forbidden Zone, they would never be able to walk out of the Lost Land again!]

The Lost Land! It was a relatively novel term, but this word brought a tremendously strong emotional shock to everyone.

"What is the situation with the Lost Land? What does it mean that Song Yiqing and the others have no way to walk out?" "What's going on? What is actually happening? Could this be a scheme by Penglai?" "Everyone, don't believe such words. This must be Penglai trying to destroy us on a psychological level!! So they are just deliberately making things up!" "That's right, definitely don't believe it, definitely don't..."

Just as everyone was desperately denying the content of that message, on the Kuaishou livestreaming platform, an inconspicuous livestream room began to soar in popularity at an exaggerated speed. In the blink of an eye, it had already surged to over 100 million! And all of this was simply because the people on the livestream screen were Song Yiqing and the others.

[Hahaha! Those idiots from Penglai are still talking about some Lost Land! And what is the result? The result is that they have appeared safe and sound right now!!]

[Exactly, exactly!! The favorite thing for those Penglai scoundrels to do is to confuse people like this; it's truly despicable!]

[The facts are perfectly slapping them in the face!! Hahaha!]

[Refreshing!! This is truly refreshing!! I just love watching these face-slapping plot twists; it's so satisfying!]

Most of the viewers were furiously typing out venting words, but at the same time, there were viewers with sharper observation skills who immediately noticed the strangeness of this livestream room.

[Wait! Don't be so quick to be happy. Is there something wrong with this livestream room!! Why was this livestream room created ten years ago? Is this reasonable? This is simply unreasonable!]

[That's right! And the image quality is quite poor. If I remember correctly, this should be the first-generation drone livestream ball, right? But this kind of thing has long been phased out; it's impossible for anyone to still be using it.]

[By the way, which forbidden zone are Song Yiqing and the others currently in? Have any of you ever seen it?]

[No, no, I have really never seen this place before.]

Meanwhile, on the warship, Commander Bai Yu was observing the situation of the bombardment while also keeping an eye on the status of Song Yiqing and the others. When they destroyed the Second Forbidden Zone, the Black Sand Great Buddha Temple, that feeling of joy undoubtedly surged up instantly. For such a long time, this was undoubtedly the best news. However, when this latest livestream room appeared, his smile instantly collapsed.

"What is going on? Why is this livestream room still... How can this drone livestream ball still be in use..." Bai Yu looked at the livestream screen in shock, while simultaneously quickly ordering his subordinates to immediately locate the position of this drone livestream ball, but the result he got was that it could not be located!

"As expected..." Bai Yu did not feel any surprise; instead, his expression became increasingly grave. A soldier beside him asked in confusion, "General, what is wrong? Do you know what is going on with this livestream room?"

"Ten years ago," Bai Yu said, unable to help but shake his head slightly. His expression was as if he were about to speak of something he did not wish to recall. After composing himself for a few minutes, he spoke calmly and explained, "Ten years ago, you probably hadn't been transferred to the Forbidden Land Exploration side yet, so you should be unaware of this matter. Ten years ago, we also joined forces with Jianghu experts to conduct an in-depth exploration, but during the exploration of this first forbidden zone, we encountered the most unimaginable situation. All of them were enveloped by an invisible force and entered a place that theoretically should not exist."

"A place that shouldn't exist?" The soldier was confused at first, then immediately realized the earlier text message and exclaimed, "The Lost Land?"

"That should be the name," Bai Yu exhaled deeply. "In the Lost Land, we saw that the monsters they encountered were exceptionally bizarre, and the difficulty of resisting them was extremely high! The most critical part is that here, one will also constantly suffer from physical and mental torment. Wanting to survive here is very, very difficult."

"What!!" Upon hearing this, the soldier's face became extremely ugly. "If that is the case, then aren't we... just happy for nothing?"

"Hard to say," Bai Yu shook his head slightly. "Song Yiqing is most skilled at creating miracles. Perhaps... in his hands, this is not a dead end!" Having said this, he quickly ordered, "Retrieve the replay of the livestream room from ten years ago, and make a list of the dangers encountered by the exploration personnel inside. We must do our utmost to help Song Yiqing and the others walk out of the Lost Land!"

"Yes!!" "Yes!!" "Yes!!"...

Bai Yu looked at the group of excited soldiers on the scene and did not say anything more. Although he said that Song Yiqing might have a chance to create a miracle, it was merely a chance. The level of danger here was far from comparable to previous forbidden zones. In other words, the previous forbidden zones were still within the realm of understanding, but here, it was mysterious, unfathomable, and one wouldn't even know how they died.

"Huu——" Bai Yu let out a breath and leaned his body heavily against the back of his chair. Penglai could not shatter the barrier, Song Yiqing was trapped, and it seemed like everything was starting to go downhill again...
