47: Chapter 47 If we drink any more, we'll become food for that serpent!

The Flood Dragon Python let out a heaven-shaking roar, as if it were about to tear the very sky apart. It decisively abandoned Guo Xueyan and the others, whipping its massive, hundred-meter-long body around and charging frantically toward the black tower.

While fleeing, Guo Xueyan noticed the Flood Dragon Python's sudden movement. She quickly took out her binoculars, and when she noticed the white orb in Song Yiqing's hand, she was instantly struck with realization.

"Song Yiqing!!! It was you who killed Ziwei!!! It was you!!! If it weren't for you, this Flood Dragon Python would never have appeared, and it would never have attacked us. Damn you, I'm going to kill you!!"

Her emotions were exceptionally agitated, and at that moment, she even wanted to turn back. However, her teammate Liang Jingcheng, who was beside her, quickly stopped her.

"Calm down! Calm down! Ziwei would never want to see you like this; she would be heartbroken!"

"But... but..." Guo Xueyan was filled with grief and indignation, her chest heaving violently. "But Song Yiqing killed her!!"

"Even so, the Flood Dragon Python has already gone after him!" Liang Jingcheng said quickly. "We have already experienced the strength of the Flood Dragon Python. Even if Song Yiqing could kill the Black Paddle Ghost Snake King, he absolutely has no chance of survival when facing a terrifying existence like the Flood Dragon Python, which belongs to a conceptual level. Let the Flood Dragon Python teach this harmful scum a lesson. Our top priority should be to uphold Ziwei's greatest wish: to uncover the secret behind the formation of the forbidden area!"

"..." Guo Xueyan did not make a sound, merely staring fixedly at the direction of the black tower and the massive figure of the Flood Dragon Python charging toward it. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally chose to flee in another direction. To be entangled by the Flood Dragon Python meant certain death.

[Holy crap!! Why is the Flood Dragon Python rushing over here? What the hell is going on?]

[Didn't people say earlier that Song Yiqing was deliberately setting others up to die? Now look, he's just shooting himself in the foot!]

[Hahaha! I've never liked Song Yiqing, and now, is he finally going to GG?]

[That academic plagiarist should have died long ago!! He should have died at the hands of the Flying Zombie; otherwise, he wouldn't have caused the deaths of so many people from the Luohang Expedition Team.]

[You guys really have issues. What does the Luohang Expedition Team's accident have anything to do with Song Yiqing!! They wanted to come over and snatch the jade eyeball in Song Yiqing's hand, and now you're twisting the truth and saying he caused it?]

[I don't get it. The public opinion these days is just too chaotic. I honestly can't understand why anyone would think these casualties were caused by Song Yiqing? Even the casualties in Wu Ren's team, weren't they all self-inflicted?]

[The biggest joke in the world is people who can't stand to see others do well and always want to throw mud at them.]

Meanwhile, at the Kyoto University of Archaeology, Wan Shu was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He had urgently summoned teachers specializing in ancient language translation and began having them do their utmost to decipher the ghost cave script. Originally, he had been worried that if Song Yiqing survived, he would take him to court, which was why he wanted to use these ancient language experts and scholars to quickly compile his own manual for translating the ghost cave script. However, only when he truly became involved did he realize the complexity of the ghost cave script. After an assessment, he even reached an accurate conclusion: to compile a translation manual would take at least twenty years. Even with Song Yiqing having already translated relevant content, it was impossible to summarize it.

But now, the appearance of the Flood Dragon Python had, to some extent, made him breathe a sigh of relief. At the very least, the probability of Song Yiqing dying directly had increased. Yet, even though he thought this way, there was a strange feeling in the back of his mind, as if Song Yiqing might still be able to turn danger into safety. Thinking of this, Wan Shu felt uneasy, and he turned to look at the secretary beside him.

"Do you think Song Yiqing can survive?"

"No," the female secretary said. She was wearing a rather sexy professional outfit. She was not hired by Wan Shu himself, but was provided to him by the Xue Group. The female secretary then explained, "Judging by the current situation, the possibility of Song Yiqing surviving is far lower than the possibility of uncovering the secret behind the formation of the forbidden area."

"It seems you have a lot of confidence in the Flood Dragon Python," Wan Shu muttered, looking at the live stream screen on his phone. At this, the female secretary said, "It's not about confidence; it's because this is based on scientific and rational analysis."

"I hope so,"

Meanwhile, on the screen of Song Yiqing's live stream, the three members of Wu Ren's group were in total chaos. Pacing back and forth, they kept saying, "We're dead, we're dead!! The Flood Dragon Python has actually appeared. I've only heard of such things in legends; it actually exists!!"

"This size is simply larger than several high-speed trains put together; it's too bizarre!!"

"What do we do? At this rate, aren't we definitely done for this time?"

It wasn't just them who were anxious; even Zhang Qilin had a grave expression on his face. He watched the Flood Dragon Python rushing toward them, and at this moment, he looked at Song Yiqing. "Go!"

However, Song Yiqing, within his line of sight, appeared relatively calm, even observing the white orb in his hand. At this moment, Song Yiqing asked curiously, "Little Brother, what do you think is the use of this orb? Why is it able to attract the Flood Dragon Python?" As he spoke, he took another sip of wine.

Before Zhang Qilin could answer, Gong Chen, who was on the side, said like an ant on a hot pan, "Lord Song, please stop drinking. If you keep drinking, we're going to become food in the mouth of that Flood Dragon Python!!"

"Hehehe," Song Yiqing chuckled and shook his head slightly. He glanced at the drunken aura that had accumulated to twenty stacks. In reality, he really wanted to test how much of a damage boost this twenty-stack drunken aura could give him, and whether it could slay the Flood Dragon Python.

[Challenge Task: Obtain the pure vision agama orb. Completed. Obtained S-rank reward: Great Dragon Elephant Power!]

This Great Dragon Elephant Power was very simple to understand; it was a Taoist technique. Once activated, it could increase one's lethality and combat power. Moreover, this boost could stack with Drunken Song. It was equivalent to saying that the stronger the base attributes, the stronger the effect that could be unleashed.

Even though he had gained another method, Song Yiqing did not intend to linger, because from the moment the Flood Dragon Python appeared until now, the system prompt had still not appeared. Originally, he thought it was a distance issue, but now that it was getting closer and closer, it still had not appeared. Perhaps in the system's judgment, the Flood Dragon Python at this very moment was definitely not something he could rival right now. After careful consideration, he made his decision. "Little Brother! Let's go!"
