26: Chapter 26 Song Yiqing's words were indeed not to be trusted!

The reason Song Yiqing watched the Archaeological Team's livestream was purely because he stumbled upon it by chance.

Then, he secretly made a calculation and realized that a relatively dangerous presence existed within.

Since they had previously sent many gifts, and he had received the money, giving them a slight hint was not a problem.

As for the various shades of pale and green appearing on Xue Xingye's face on the livestream, he didn't notice any of it.

A clown and an ant—how could they possibly deserve to be remembered?

After he and Zhang Qilin left the temple, they sprinted directly towards the Jingjue Tomb.

Although the sandy ground appeared quite muddy after being washed by the flood,

both of them were skilled in ancient martial arts, and as long as they controlled the force in their feet, they could easily traverse it as if walking on flat ground.

Along the way, they saw too many victims trapped in the desert swamps.

However, Song Yiqing still chose to remain a bystander to their fates and did not intervene.

In forbidden area exploration, the most important thing is that one's own safety comes first.

Because of this, Song Yiqing would also periodically use Feng Shui Secret Arts to perform deductions and calculations.

But just at this moment, a premonition of danger suddenly surged in his heart!

"Little Brother! Dodge!"

He had almost subconsciously deduced that there was hidden danger where Zhang Qilin was about to step.

And the moment he spoke, Zhang Qilin suddenly pivoted on his right foot, shifting to the side like a shadow.

It was precisely this step that caused the suddenly rising mound of dirt to miss its mark.

The mound of dirt rose, and three seconds later, it suddenly exploded!

Bang!!

Countless ants suddenly rushed out from the ground.

Swish!

These ants fell from mid-air like rain.

Clang—Zhang Qilin had already gripped the black gold ancient blade, holding it horizontally in front of him.

A massive force suddenly blasted forward, compressing the air and forcibly sending the falling ants flying away one after another.

The next second, he had already retreated several steps back to Song Yiqing's side.

A large number of similar mounds began to appear all around them.

Bang, bang, bang!! The continuous sound of breaking mounds rang out, followed by ants with fangs falling from the air one after another.

Song Yiqing did not dare to be negligent; he activated the Golden Light Curse, further ensuring that he would not be bitten.

He then unleashed his blade techniques, using the blade energy generated to repel them within a small radius; the effect was somewhat similar to Zhang Qilin's method.

At the same time, he spoke, "These are Desert Army Ants. It seems the recent rainstorm must have flooded their nests, causing them all to emerge in search of new ones. Be careful not to get bitten; these things are quite venomous."

"Okay." Zhang Qilin's response was as simple and indifferent as always.

However, Song Yiqing could sense that he had already begun to secretly activate a trace of his Qilin Blood, which significantly increased his strength and speed.

Their calm reactions, however, made the viewers in the livestream unable to contain themselves.

[Damn!! These are Desert Army Ants, known as the locusts of the desert—they're terrifying! Wherever they pass, they leave nothing but piles of white bones.]

[I've heard of them too; these Desert Army Ants always appear in swarms, and every time they show up, it's a terrifying sight!]

[Actually, everyone can just search for relevant livestream replays. Many people have already lost their lives to these Desert Army Ants. Don't think there's no danger just because Song Yiqing and the ancient martial arts expert seem so relaxed.]

[Exactly, these two are just too absurd. No matter how dangerous the environment, it's all easy and simple for them; there's no difficulty at all.]

[Don't even get me started—the image of the two of them chasing down and slashing the Snake King just popped into my head again. That scene was just too awesome.]

Upon seeing the situation in Song Yiqing's livestream, Bai Yao became nervous yet again.

She quickly updated the archaeologists at the scene on the situation.

However, when Kang Mo heard this, he let out a cold laugh.

"Heh, it seems Song Yiqing is unable to accurately use Feng Shui Secret Arts to judge whether there is danger or not."

"That's right," Xue Xingye, seeing that someone seemed to want to target Song Yiqing, immediately stepped up to add.

"He can't even take care of himself, so how could he have truly calculated that the previous ancient city was dangerous? It's obvious he has ulterior motives!!"

With the two of them leading the way, everyone at the scene couldn't help but start whispering; everyone was extremely dissatisfied with the previous decision not to enter the ancient city.

But they didn't dare to say anything too harsh.

"Sigh, if you ask me, we should have just gone to the ancient city."

"Yeah! We might have already made a major discovery by now."

"It's a pity, we've already walked too far, otherwise it really would have been…"

Hearing their words, Bai Yao immediately retorted,

"But, but just a moment ago, when the ancient martial arts expert was about to step down, Song Yiqing successfully judged the potential danger at his landing spot. Because of that, he was able to avoid direct danger!"

"You're overthinking it; that has nothing to do with him."

Xue Xingye curled his lip. He had originally quite liked Bai Yao, but now he was losing interest more and more.

Hearing his words, Bai Yao was so angry she nearly wanted to pummel his pig-headed face with her fists.

But this time, Fei Erfeng stepped in to shut them down quite directly.

"Enough. If anyone thinks my judgment is wrong, you are free to take your people and leave. There is no need to gossip here."

"Hehehe," Kang Mo smiled. "Elder Fei, don't take it to heart. Everyone is just discussing the facts. Xue Xingye meant well; he's just not very good with words."

"?????" Xue Xingye was instantly stunned. 'F*ck! You old geezer, you're the one who started this topic! Why are you dumping all the blame on me??'

However, hindered by the other's status and position, Xue Xingye was left unable to squeeze out a single word.

Fei Erfeng didn't want to dwell too much on such matters, so he waved his hand, signaling everyone to continue their journey.

…However, the criticism of Fei Erfeng on the internet was becoming increasingly intense.

[If you ask me! This old geezer is truly senile! Song Yiqing's words really cannot be trusted!]

[Exactly, he actually believed him. Now we haven't even explored the ancient city that was highly likely to hold the secrets to the forbidden area.]

[What kind of leader is he? If you ask me, we should have let Professor Kang take the lead!]
