50: Chapter 50 Killing Three Birds with One Stone! A Desperate Strategy

Following the sharp claws came a face like a skull, devoid of any skin or tissue, yet the furry head proved it was a living creature.

In the next second, it pushed off with both claws, and its body instantly sprang out from underground.

Its body, a full hundred meters long, instantly descended toward the Flood Dragon Python.

Boom!!!

The massive impact instantly caused the desert to shake violently.

Even from a distance, one could feel its unrivaled aura.

But it had only one target.

That was the Flood Dragon Python!!

"Roar!!! Roar!! Roar!!"

A thunderous, explosive roar echoed beneath the sky.

Upon seeing the opponent, the Flood Dragon Python acted as if it had met an arch-enemy, its eyes burning with hatred. It opened its massive maw and lunged to bite at the opponent's neck.

In just a few breaths, the two were locked in a fierce struggle.

At the same time, Zhang Qilin was already carrying Song Yiqing as he sprinted toward the depths.

Wu Ren, following closely behind, turned deathly pale.

"What... what on earth is this!! Why is something like this here?"

"Heh..."

Song Yiqing chuckled, his voice weak.

"That is called a Desert Giant Sloth, the absolute overlord of the vicinity near the inner circle. I just didn't expect this thing to be so terrifying."

"Desert Giant Sloth!!"

Wu Ren had clearly heard of this name, and his expression grew even more shocked.

"I thought this was just a legendary creature. I never expected it to actually exist."

As he thought about it, his body suddenly trembled, and an incredible thought popped into his mind.

'Did Song Yiqing lure the Flood Dragon Python here on purpose? Was it just to make them fight each other fiercely, so he could gain the chance to penetrate the core area??'

The moment this thought arose, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was true.

After all, without the Flood Dragon Python to contend with, they would certainly have been attacked while walking in the inner area.

But now, there was no need to worry.

In these last few breaths, Wu Ren felt increasingly horrified.

He felt even more awe toward Song Yiqing.

However, seeing how weak the other party was now, he couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

If Song Yiqing were to collapse, his plans would likely fall through as well.

In this instant, he hoped with all his heart that Song Yiqing would pull through.

...

The moment the Desert Giant Sloth appeared, it completely ignited the barrage in various live streams.

After all, this hundred-meter-tall, mountain-like figure could be seen by everyone in the Taklamakan Desert.

Even from the furthest edge, one could see a figure in the middle of a fight.

[Oh my god!! Desert Giant Sloth, how can there be such a huge ground sloth in this world! It's too bizarre!]

[Even the ground sloths from prehistoric civilizations were only six or seven meters, seven or eight meters tall. Yet this one here is actually so huge!!]

[What luck, it really is good luck. Without this Desert Giant Sloth, I think Song Yiqing and the others would be in extreme danger this time! Nine times out of ten, something would have gone wrong!]

[That's right! Although Song Yiqing's ultimate move was very fierce earlier, it was still not enough to face the Flood Dragon Python. This Desert Giant Sloth can be considered their savior!]

[Luck is often a part of strength.]

Within the Flying Tiger Archaeological Expedition Team,

everyone had stopped watching the live stream because, from their current location, they could clearly see the fight between those two massive figures in the distance.

Only by being there in person could one truly feel the terror and shock of this battle.

"Good heavens, it's fortunate we stopped here early. Otherwise, if we had gotten closer, we might have been caught in the crossfire."

"I finally understand why the Forbidden Land Exploration Official's army hasn't been able to truly sweep through this place. There are truly existences in the forbidden land that are almost equivalent to strategic-level threats."

"That's right! If this Flood Dragon Python or the Desert Giant Sloth were to get out, it would cause an unimaginable catastrophe."

Amidst everyone's exclamations, Xue Xingye, standing to the side, was very angry. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence:

"This Song Yiqing really has dumb luck. He was clearly about to die, but then a Desert Giant Sloth popped out, giving him a chance to catch his breath."

"What dumb luck! This is clearly a part of his strength! Luck is also a part of strength!!"

Hearing Xue Xingye's words, Bai Yao felt very uncomfortable in her heart and immediately retorted.

At this moment, Kang Mo spoke up:

"Hehehe, so-called good luck cannot accompany one for a lifetime. Luck, you know, always has a time when it runs out."

"It is not luck for him."

At this moment, Fei Erfeng quite rarely joined their conversation.

As he spoke, Kang Mo looked at him with a smile.

"Oh? Does Elder Fei have any profound insights?"

"Profound insights? I wouldn't call it that."

Fei Erfeng waved his hand and said at this time:

"If you observed carefully, you would realize one thing: from the moment Song Yiqing started planning to take action against the Flood Dragon Python, he was intentionally heading toward the inner circle of the forbidden land. At the same time, the location where he took action was very clever."

"Hmm?"

Shi Zhishan asked in confusion:

"Elder Fei, do you mean to say that the appearance of this Desert Giant Sloth was actually part of Song Yiqing's calculations? Did he intentionally lure it here before taking action?"

"That is my guess."

Fei Erfeng nodded slightly.

Hearing this, the people present showed expressions of disbelief one after another.

It was as if they were wondering, could someone really calculate to this extent?

If that were really the case, how heaven-defying must this person's brain be!

After carefully recalling, Shi Zhishan nodded repeatedly.

"Come to think of it, it really is. Every step of Song Yiqing's was quite planned and strategic; he wasn't just running around mindlessly. He is naturally adept at Feng Shui Art. By using divination to calculate where there was major danger and then luring the Flood Dragon Python there, not only could he escape the crisis of being chased by the Flood Dragon Python, but he could also utilize the battle between the Flood Dragon Python and the Desert Giant Sloth to directly bypass the Desert Giant Sloth and penetrate straight into the core area!! This move of his is simply killing three birds with one stone!! How exactly is this person's brain wired!"

He kept summarizing and speaking, which also caused the people present to gradually fall into recollection, and they all gasped in succession.

"Hiss!! Now that you put it that way, it really is!"

"My god, Song Yiqing's intelligence is truly unparalleled."

"It's too shocking."

Several people spoke up one after another.

At this moment, Bai Yao said:

"Yeah, such a highly intelligent person, yet he was accused of academic plagiarism by some schools."
