41: Chapter 41: Preparations are almost complete; let's begin to break the deadlock.
The bizarre situation instantly cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.
At this moment, Wu Ren quickly looked at Song Yiqing.
"Lord Song, what is going on with this situation? There was a path when we came, so why is the road leading down gone now?"
"The structure of this Black Tower itself is quite special,"
Song Yiqing explained simply.
"We have likely entered the Soul-Confusing Array after being refracted by the light."
As he spoke, he pointed outside.
"You can go take a look outside now at the height we are at."
"Outside?"
Wu Ren was puzzled, but he did as told and quickly leaned out.
The next second, however, he saw a truly terrifying scene.
"What?! How... how are we at such a high position? Logically, we should be on the fourth floor at most, but this height is clearly ten floors up!"
As he spoke, Gong Chen and Wei Zhiyuan also looked outside in unison.
Just that one glance made both of them feel a chill down their spines.
"Damn it, how did this happen! Are we going to be completely trapped here?"
"Eerie, too eerie! This tower..."
Wei Zhiyuan was just saying this when he suddenly thought of something and looked at Song Yiqing.
"Lord Song, what is the situation in the livestream room? What are they seeing..."
"..."
Song Yiqing did not answer and handed his phone directly to the other party.
The screen full of bullet comments had already explained everything.
[No way?? What is this situation? Why are the stairs and such disappearing??]
[I just watched with my own eyes as these things started to disappear!]
[Hell! This is truly hellish. I've watched livestreams for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a situation.]
Inside the Flying Tiger Archaeological Expedition Team,
the news of Song Yiqing and the others being trapped immediately caused everyone on the scene to fall into heated discussion.
"What is this situation? Could it be a visual refraction? No, that's not right! If that were the case, why would the camera also be fooled?"
"It's too strange. We've entered this place so many times before and have never encountered this."
"I don't get it, I can't understand it at all. It's fortunate that Song Yiqing is not in our team; otherwise, I'm afraid we would be..."
"What are you saying! Everyone is trying to uncover the secrets behind the formation of the Forbidden Land. They are risking their own lives!"
Everyone kept talking, but this time Xue Xingye did not participate in the discussion, but secretly felt happy in his heart.
After all, Shi Zhishan had previously mentioned what the survivor of the Black Tower had said.
The danger here was terrifying, and now it had undoubtedly confirmed those words.
In this way, Song Yiqing was finally in a mortal situation this time!
After thinking of this, Xue Xingye secretly clenched his fists, feeling as if his hard days were about to come to an end.
At this moment, he heard Fei Erfeng contacting the Forbidden Land Exploration Official to send support.
But the other party's response was that because the range of influence of the Black Magnetic Mountain was extremely strong in interfering with helicopters in high altitude,
it would even cause the equipment to short-circuit, leading to crashes. Low-altitude flight would result in attacks by ancient creatures or monsters on the ground.
Therefore, the best way was to travel by ground.
But sending support now was undoubtedly extremely difficult and was completely impossible.
Hearing this, the joy in Xue Xingye's heart was about to overflow.
'Don't laugh! Don't laugh! I am a professional! Pfft! Absolutely cannot laugh!'
Where the Iron Triangle was,
Lin Tianyi and the others were still speeding up their journey.
However, as soon as Lord Pang saw Song Yiqing and the others trapped in the Black Tower, he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Old Lin! Old Lin, look, you were still here worrying that after he arrived, he would steal the initiative. But looking at the current situation, even if we go for a walk, he won't have a chance to catch up."
"..."
Lin Tianyi did not speak, but instead earnestly watched the various situations on the livestream screen.
"A Soul-Confusing Array? That's not right either. If it were a Soul-Confusing Array, why would even the livestream camera be deceived? What exactly is going on? And why is the height they are at so high? Something is wrong, something is very wrong."
"Hehehe,"
Lord Pang laughed.
"Old Lin! Whether it's wrong or not is not important. What's important is that since it's not us who are trapped, isn't that the end of it?"
"No, you are wrong,"
Lin Tianyi shook his head slightly.
"Previously, Song Yiqing successfully deciphered and translated the content of the ghost cave script. After carefully considering it now, I feel that even if we successfully enter underground, we may not necessarily be able to go very deep."
"What do you mean by that?"
Lord Pang didn't quite understand what the other party meant by this, so he asked subconsciously.
And Lin Tianyi said honestly,
"I want to cooperate with him. Even if I have to pay some price, I think the necessity of this cooperation is very high."
"Cooperate? Old Lin, are you burning up with a fever?"
Lord Pang looked unwilling.
"I don't want that. I don't feel comfortable looking at that Song Yiqing. I always feel that he would sacrifice us directly. Don't look at the fact that he is still with Wu Ren and the others; once he is done using them, they will be the first ones he abandons."
"That's not how you put it,"
Lin Tianyi sighed deeply.
"Even if Song Yiqing is relatively cold-blooded and good at using others, this is the Forbidden Land. Mutual utilization is a very common thing. As long as the final result can be achieved, that is the most important thing, isn't it?"
"But..."
Lord Pang was still somewhat dissatisfied, and then said firmly,
"No, Old Lin, I just feel that this Song Yiqing is no good. Lord Pang here just doesn't believe it—without him, Song Yiqing, can't we break this level? Moreover, to put it another way, whether he, Song Yiqing, can walk out of the Black Tower alive is still up for debate!"
"You... fine, hurry up and get on the road,"
Lin Tianyi said in a deep voice.
"Besides being on guard against Song Yiqing, there are many other expedition teams rushing here. The temptation of the core area is too great!"
On the livestream screen,
Wu Ren and the others already had expressions of sadness, and had even determined that they would completely die.
"I didn't expect that we would eventually die here. I really didn't expect it!"
As he spoke, he drank the wine given by Song Yiqing.
"Ha!!!"
After a mouthful of strong liquor entered his mouth, it immediately made his stomach feel burning hot.
Immediately after, Gong Chen and Wei Zhiyuan also walked over to drink together.
But just at this moment, Song Yiqing suddenly said,
"Little Brother, since preparations are almost done, let's start breaking the situation."
