28: Chapter 28 A Dramatic Shift in the Wind!
Song Yiqing also had an impression of the Tomb of Prince Gumo, as it had appeared in some rumors.
When he thought of this, a thought emerged in his mind: Could there be clues to the formation of the Forbidden Land inside the Tomb of Prince Gumo?
If he could find them and turn them over to the Forbidden Land Exploration Official, he would likely receive a significant amount of points.
His previous methods of killing the Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion and the Black Paddle Ghost Snake King had earned him quite a lot of points.
These points, in addition to being redeemable for weapons, could also be directly exchanged for money with the Forbidden Land Exploration Official.
Putting his thoughts aside, Song Yiqing slightly adjusted his direction. Zhang Qilin, beside him, was quite sensitive to this subtle adjustment, but he did not ask, because if there was something, Song Yiqing would say it himself.
On the livestream screen, the two of them running one after another appeared quiet and peaceful, but the barrage area was boiling over like a pot that had exploded.
"No way?? You dig a pit just because someone mentioned digging a pit? You actually killed it??"
"I'm damned if I expected it to be solved in this way?? Brother, this is a bit too abstract, isn't it?"
"666! It was actually killed like this. First the Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion, then the Snake King, and now the Desert Army Ants' queen. Are you two planning to just sweep through the Taklamakan Desert?"
"The person above really hit the nail on the head. Everything Song Yiqing and Ancient Martial Arts Guy have killed are those famous existences! They are all quite famous and extremely fierce existences in the Forbidden Land Exploration Official's logs! Many exploration teams have been killed by them, yet they all died at the hands of Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin."
"Hey, hey, hey! Could it be, could it be, that it is really possible for these two to uncover the secret of the birth of the Forbidden Land in their hands?"
"Good, good, good! Today the whole internet was badmouthing Song Yiqing, but now he has directly blasted the Desert Army Ants' queen, giving those who come after more chances to survive. Who dares to badmouth him now?"
"There are plenty of points to badmouth him on. They haven't even truly reached the periphery yet! They are still a long way from uncovering the secret of the Forbidden Land's birth!"
And if one were to say who was the most uncomfortable seeing Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin successfully resolve the Desert Army Ants crisis, it would be Xue Xingye.
Not far ahead, Bai Yao was talking eloquently, describing how Song Yiqing slashed the Desert Army Ants' queen to death one blade at a time, speaking with such animation as if she were the one who had done it.
"You all don't know! That Song Yiqing was radiating golden light, just like a god descending to earth, holding that short blade emitting red light, harvesting them one by one! That scene, tsk tsk tsk! It was simply too fierce!"
As Bai Yao spoke, she did not forget to pass her phone around for everyone to see.
The people on the scene looked at it with curiosity as well. After all, not many people had thought that Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin would be able to resolve this crisis, but now they had given everyone a huge surprise.
"This Song Yiqing really has something."
"Could it be that his Feng Shui Art didn't fail? But rather he had another plan? Just like the plan he made during the Wolf Tide before?"
"This probability is still quite high. After all, Song Yiqing's control and planning ability are quite formidable."
"If we speak of it this way, maybe not going to that ancient city was truly a relatively correct choice."
"Maybe! So we still owe it to Elder Fei's firm choice."
In the blink of an eye, the direction of the discussion gradually began to change quietly.
Xue Xingye lowered his head with a dark face, not wanting to participate in these topics.
On the contrary, Kang Mo smiled indifferently and said, "Thanks to our team leader, otherwise, everyone would be meeting the King of Hell today."
A bit of teasing, but it made everyone feel a bit strange.
Fei Erfeng glanced sideways at Kang Mo, but did not make a sound.
However, everyone on the scene could inexplicably feel a quiet smell of gunpowder rising, just that it was not too obvious.
It was precisely at this time that a few more barrages were sent out, and Bai Yao, seeing them, quickly relayed them.
"Elder Fei, some netizens just said that three exploration teams entered the ancient city, and now they are all dead!! The things that killed them are very strange, looking like lines, but it's impossible to see clearly what they are. They died silently!"
Once these words were spoken, it made everyone on the scene feel a chill down their spines, and they all secretly gasped.
What was said before might have just been flattery, but their current reaction was genuine, because they were truly afraid.
They were truly afraid that they had really been persuaded by Kang Mo and the others at the time, and then gone directly to the ancient city.
Barrage area:
"Haters, come out and speak!! Who was it clamoring to replace Elder Fei?"
"Why do you think Elder Fei has been the team leader of this Flying Tiger Exploration Team for more than ten years?"
"This kind of gold content doesn't even need to be said. This is Elder Fei's ability; he dares to trust! This is guts!"
"He and Song Yiqing really have a feeling of complementing each other."
"What is the person above saying? It's purely Song Yiqing carrying them!"
In a few hours, public opinion changed drastically.
All the trending search terms turned into thanking Song Yiqing or saying how wise Elder Fei's judgment was.
But soon another piece of news quickly rushed up.
# Song Yiqing discovers an ancient tomb! #
As soon as the news came out, more and more people began to swarm into Song Yiqing's livestream.
The original number of over 100,000 climbed steadily to 500,000, and this upward momentum showed no sign of stopping at all.
On the livestream screen, Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin had already arrived at a Gobi area.
But right near this Gobi, a small dilapidated temple was hidden.
The facilities inside the temple were relatively simple, but there were mysteries hidden inside.
Song Yiqing walked eight steps in reverse, then displayed the Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Arts, easily finding the location of the mechanism.
Originally, he wanted to crack it himself, but thinking that there was Zhang Qilin who had practiced the Faqiu two-finger technique since childhood, he didn't let the other party stay idle. The Faqiu two-finger technique was inherently meant to break various precise and small mechanisms, and using it to solve such mechanisms was also quite simple.
The mechanism was cracked, a cave appeared, and after going down more than ten meters, a tombstone could be seen standing at the entrance.
"Little Brother, guess what kind of person this Prince Gumo is?"
"..."
Zhang Qilin did not speak, just calmly examining the tombstone.
Just when Song Yiqing thought he would not answer again, a sentence popped out from the other party's mouth.
"A dead person."
"?"
Song Yiqing looked at him in surprise, and then nodded.
"You're right!"
"..."
Zhang Qilin did not speak.
But suddenly, he turned around abruptly and looked behind him.
"Someone!"
"They've been following us the whole way," Song Yiqing said indifferently, and then pulled out the Meteoric Iron Short Blade tucked at his waist.
