52: Chapter 52: Missiles Are No Match for a Single Blade? Master Song's Forbidden Zone Mysticism!

As the reports came in one after another, Zhu Yongfeng felt his brain shrinking from the shock.

"No? Why? Why?? What on earth is going on here??"

He was so shocked that he was speechless for a while.

Meanwhile, the viewers in the livestream, who were still in the dark, burst into laughter.

[Pffft! Hahaha! Song Yiqing is such a joker. What? A monster that the Forbidden Zone authorities' missiles couldn't kill...]

[...you can wound with a single blade strike?]

[So Song Yiqing is implying that his one strike is equivalent to a missile!]

[I'm dying of laughter. He's not even afraid of being struck by lightning for showing off like that! How can he even say such a thing! It's too ridiculous!]

The viewers mocked him one after another. Wu Ren, shown on the livestream screen, had similar doubts, but he didn't have any intention of mocking him. Instead, he asked,

"Lord Song, why do you say that? A missile's blast radius isn't small."

"Heh, it's not small indeed."

Song Yiqing's voice was still very weak. That single strike had almost drained the Qi from his body and reduced his physical stamina to an extremely low level. If Zhang Qilin hadn't been supporting him,

he probably wouldn't even be able to move while lying on the ground. He kept talking just to stay conscious.

Of course, there was a way to recover; he just had to consume Zhang Qilin's Qilin Blood.

But that would leave Zhang Qilin crippled.

Rather than that, it was better to wait patiently. Perhaps an opportunity would arise.

Then, Song Yiqing continued,

"Whether it's the Flood Dragon Python or the Desert Giant Sloth, their hides are extremely hard."

"The reason I was able to wound them earlier..."

"...was by relying on the differences in the Feng Shui layout. That strike occupied the right time, the right place, and the right people, and it hit the Flood Dragon Python directly on its Vital Point."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have caused any damage at all."

This well-reasoned answer left Wu Ren even more shocked.

He became increasingly curious about Song Yiqing.

What was the background of such a person? Was he really just an ordinary college student?

Since when did college students have such incredible abilities?

Wu Ren stopped overthinking and quickened his pace to keep up with Zhang Qilin.

Similarly, the viewers in the livestream also began to have doubts.

[Wait, Song Yiqing doesn't look like he's joking at all. Could it be that what he said is true, and that missile failed to deal with those two monsters?]

[Is it real? I hope he's not just scaring us. If those two are really that heaven-defyingly perverted... what are we going to do! If they escape, it'll be a huge problem!]

[The person above has no common sense. From the moment the Forbidden Zone appeared until now, the creatures inside have never left.]

[According to the experts, they would feel discomfort after leaving the Forbidden Zone.]

[That's also why the authorities haven't used nuclear bombs to destroy this place.]

[Firstly, they don't know the cause of the Forbidden Zone's formation and are worried that reckless action might lead to more Forbidden Zones appearing.]

[Secondly, they hope to explore it and find the secret behind the formation of the Forbidden Zone.]

[Many of the ancient creatures there have extremely high research value!]

[I just hope Song Yiqing's judgment is wrong; otherwise, the danger level of this Forbidden Zone will have to be raised by several levels.]

Within the Luohang Expedition Team,

Guo Xueyan and her group had already started moving away after the Flood Dragon Python appeared.

But when Song Yiqing showed the strength to go head-to-head with the Flood Dragon Python, it left Guo Xueyan with a sense of lingering fear.

If they had rushed forward to fight Song Yiqing to the death at that time,

it was likely that their entire team would have been the ones to die.

However, seeing that Song Yiqing was now highly weakened, Guo Xueyan gradually developed other ideas.

"Get ready, we're going to the core area too!"

"What?"

Liang Jingcheng asked in confusion.

"It's too dangerous over there. Besides, you should have heard what Song Yiqing said just now."

"Those two monsters might not be dead!"

"Heh, so whatever he says is the truth?"

Guo Xueyan sneered.

"Song Yiqing only said those words because he wanted to use the deterrent power of the Flood Dragon Python and the Desert Giant Sloth to scare off other expedition teams that want to approach the core area."

"Otherwise, why would he say those words while in such a weakened state?"

"With how cunning he is, it's highly likely he'd do something like this."

"But..."

Liang Jingcheng wanted to say something more,

but Guo Xueyan's attitude was extremely serious.

"Enough! Don't say another word. While Song Yiqing is still heavily injured,"

"Kill him! Only then can we truly seize the items! This is our mission!"

"..."

Liang Jingcheng fell silent. He knew very well that Guo Xueyan's true purpose was probably not to complete the mission,

but to avenge Ding Ziwei.

But ultimately, it was the Flood Dragon Python that killed Ding Ziwei.

"Sigh..."

Liang Jingcheng suppressed those words and didn't say them out loud.

However, just as they were about to set off, the smoke in the distance gradually dissipated.

Two massive figures reappeared.

"Roar!!!"

"Roar!!!"

Neither the Flood Dragon Python nor the Desert Giant Sloth were particularly injured; there was just a bit of black powder on their bodies.

The damage the Flood Dragon Python sustained from this attack...

...wasn't even as great as the damage from Song Yiqing's single blade strike.

The moment she saw this, Guo Xueyan grit her teeth.

"Song Yiqing is definitely hiding a huge secret! Quick!! We must catch him before he recovers!!"

...

The news that the Flood Dragon Python and the Desert Giant Sloth were not dead spread instantly to all the expedition teams.

Most of the expedition teams realized this important point as well.

They all took detours towards the core area.

The abilities Song Yiqing showed time and again, and the understanding of the Taklamakan Desert he displayed every time,

made every explorer think of a possibility.

'It's highly likely that Song Yiqing possesses more detailed intelligence on the Taklamakan Desert!'

Capturing Shen Yu might allow them to get one step closer to the truth behind the Forbidden Zone's secrets!

...

Weibo's trending searches were very lively, and an interesting hashtag even popped up:

#Long-Range Missile Power Inferior to Song Yiqing's Single Strike#

Under this hashtag, countless viewers were leaving comments, but most were marveling at Song Yiqing's power.

[So brutal!! The missile couldn't even scratch them, but Song Yiqing managed to do it!]

[Think about it, Song Yiqing is actually so strong, yet he was originally supposed to join the official Archaeological Team!]

[Yeah! He should have been shining in the official Archaeological Team, but who would've thought someone would trip him up? Tsk tsk tsk!]

The bullet chat was buzzing with discussion.

On Song Yiqing's livestream screen, as the group sprinted away, skeletal remains and corpses began to appear everywhere in the surrounding desert.

The scent of blood continuously wafted through the air.

Suddenly!

A barb shot out violently from the sand!
