18: Chapter 18 One Wave After Another! The Lord of the Serpent's Nest

The moment they left the house, under the dim light of the sky, what covered the ground was not white or yellow sand, but countless Black Paddle Ghost Snakes twisting and writhing frantically.

They were constantly moving toward the humans who emitted the scent of life.

But the moment they caught a whiff of the Qilin Blood, they immediately felt a deep terror and retreated to both sides.

Zhang Qilin paved the way in front, while Song Yiqing constantly cleared out the Black Paddle Ghost Snakes attacking from behind.

[Hiss!! Isn't this Ancient Martial Arts Guy a bit special? How can his blood drive away these snakes?]

[So magical, is this the uniqueness of someone who has practiced Ancient Martial Arts?]

But in comparison, Song Yiqing is really a bit weak, he's a total dead weight.]

[True, although he knows a bit of Feng Shui, from beginning to end it's been the Ancient Martial Arts Guy carrying him to victory.]

[Even when it came to killing the Wolf King, it was only possible because the Ancient Martial Arts Guy put in the most effort.]

[You guys are being a bit excessive, aren't you? Directly erasing Song Yiqing's contribution?]

[It's not erasing it, it's just saying that in terms of their respective importance, Zhang Qilin undoubtedly accounts for seventy or eighty percent!]

The comments in the livestream room continued to boil over.

Bai Yao looked at the situation on the screen with a tense expression, her small hands clenched into fists.

Yi Menglian was beside her, watching the livestream as well, but as a more experienced veteran member of the Archaeological Team,

She wasn't very optimistic about Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin's chances of survival.

The bizarreness of the forbidden zone was never something that could be described with words.

The happiest person was none other than Xue Xingye. The more he looked at those Black Paddle Ghost Snakes, the more he felt a sense of kinship with them.

'Mm! Truly excellent!! The more that come, the better, the more the better!

Only this way can Song Yiqing be killed even faster!!

Kill this damn guy!'

His heart became increasingly twisted.

At that moment, Bai Yao spoke up in surprise,

"How can there still be survivors here?"

"Hmm?"

Yi Menglian leaned in curiously,

Only to see on the livestream screen, at the location where Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin were escaping, there was another exploration team desperately firing their guns to attack the swarms of snakes.

When they saw the figures of Song Yiqing's duo, they immediately shouted,

"Friends! Save us, save us!!"

"We beg you, please save us!!"

"I don't want to die! I really don't want to die, I have a wife and children at home, I don't want to die yet!"

"I'm the only son in my family, my parents can't be without their son!"

They wailed. Even though they had guns in their hands, seeing these two who could move freely within the Snake Nest, they immediately wanted to be rescued.

Zhang Qilin felt a slight pang of compassion and wanted to make a detour, but he was poked in the waist by Song Yiqing.

"Walk a few more steps and keep watching,"

"..."

Zhang Qilin didn't speak and silently ran forward.

But at that exact moment, a bullet was actually fired directly at them.

Bang!!!

The bullet's speed was fast, but in the eyes of Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin, it was somewhat insufficient.

Song Yiqing swung his short blade, instantly neutralizing the threat.

When Zhang Qilin looked back, he saw that the person who had fired was exactly the one for whom he had almost felt compassion just now!

"Fuck your mother!! If I can't live, none of you should think about living either!"

"..."

Zhang Qilin didn't respond. After giving Song Yiqing a deep look, he also increased his speed at this moment,

Choosing to ignore the bursts of wailing that gradually began to come from behind.

Song Yiqing's decision allowed Xue Xingye, who was watching the livestream, to find a point of criticism.

"Everyone look! This Song Yiqing is indeed cold-blooded to the extreme.

That person was asking for help, and clearly the Ancient Martial Arts Guy already wanted to save him,

But as a result, he actually told the other guy not to bother.

Tsk tsk tsk!

This is human nature, this is human nature."

Many people on the scene nodded slightly, and a trace of disgust toward Song Yiqing appeared in their eyes.

"To be honest, this behavior of his is indeed somewhat inappropriate."

"Even though it's a moment of absolute danger, saving one more person is still one more person.

Maybe this person would be the one to complete the mystery of the Taklamakan Desert Forbidden Zone in the future."

"Yeah! That possibility is still quite high."

While the people on the scene were discussing, Bai Yao couldn't help but speak up,

"But that person just fired a gun!"

"What's wrong with firing a gun? A person has already reached complete despair!"

Xue Xingye grew more and more annoyed by this woman who kept contradicting him.

Even though he had pursued her so passionately, she didn't accept him,

Yet now she was so desperately defending another man.

What's so good about Song Yiqing?

Just because his looks are a bit higher, his body is a bit better, just because...

Damn it!! Just go and die already!

The more Xue Xingye thought, the angrier he got. If he didn't make comparisons, he would feel better, but now the comparison made his heart even more unbalanced.

He took a moment to compose himself and continued,

"The reason this person fell into despair was entirely caused by Song Yiqing, do you understand?"

"You!! You're using twisted logic!!"

Bai Yao was so angry she could barely breathe, and was just short of directly hitting Xue Xingye.

At that moment, Yi Menglian, who was holding her phone, cried out in alarm,

"Such a big snake!! How can there be such a big snake here!!"

"What?"

In her surprise, Bai Yao quickly turned her head to look, only to see on the livestream screen a giant Black Paddle Ghost Snake as towering as a crane instantly rearing its head.

Those two massive fangs were extremely prominent and possessed immense deterrent power.

"Is... is this the Snake King?"

"Evil people will be dealt with by heaven."

Xue Xingye's face was filled with excitement and satisfaction.

'A situation of certain death! How will you solve it? You have no way to solve it, Song Yiqing!'

Fei Erfeng, who had also been following the livestream, sighed and shook his head again, choosing to turn off his phone at this time.

"There's no chance. This time even the Snake King has come out. It seems Zhang Qilin's blood is very unique; besides having the ability to deter other small snakes,

It actually has an extremely strong attraction for large-scale apex predators."

"Originally, I really thought they would escape."

Shi Zhishan similarly revealed a look of regret.

"What a pity, these two prospects were so suitable for joining our Archaeological Team."

As they spoke, Bai Yao clenched her fists and spoke out in even greater surprise,

"They... they want to directly kill the Snake King??"

...

On Song Yiqing's livestream screen,

The two were fleeing frantically, but facing the Snake King's ambush, it was clearly not very likely to escape from the range of the Snake Nest.

After a brief consideration, he also quickly informed Zhang Qilin and said those words,

"Little Brother, get ready, we're going to slaughter it!"
