59: Chapter 59 The Mysterious Wall and the Monster

"What!!"

Fatty was instantly displeased upon hearing this, but when Song Yiqing's gaze swept over, he had no choice but to turn his head away, not daring to meet his eyes at all.

Lin Tianyi, meanwhile, gently patted Fatty's shoulder.

"Hold your gun steady and be careful."

"Got it."

Fatty nodded slightly, though he cast a nearly imperceptible glance at Song Yiqing, attempting to vent his inner dissatisfaction.

However, as soon as he looked over, he saw Song Yiqing's teasing, smiling face.

This made him even angrier!!

Dammit!!

How can this guy be so annoying!

Helplessly, he walked side-by-side with Lin Tianyi, aiming his gun forward with high alertness.

From time to time, he used his Wolf-Eye Flashlight to survey the surroundings.

Following behind them was Wang Shan; she held a standard-issue pistol in her left hand and a long saber in her right.

She looked quite unique in this stance.

Further back were Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin.

Zhang Qilin glanced sideways at Song Yiqing, his eyes seemingly asking, 'Is doing this really appropriate?'

Song Yiqing simply shook his head slightly, signaling him to relax and not worry too much.

Zhang Qilin's nature was simply too kind; he wanted to save everyone and protect everyone.

He would always shoulder the danger himself at the front.

It was only because he was exceptionally gifted; anyone else would have died a thousand times over already.

Following behind them was Wu Ren's group.

At the same time, Song Yiqing gave Wu Ren a task: monitor the comments in the livestream room.

After all, they were likely the only exploration team still alive within the Six-Pillar Temple.

The officials and other interested parties would mostly likely be watching.

If there were any issues, they would provide warnings immediately.

They hadn't walked for long before Wu Ren quickly spoke up.

"Lord Song, the Forbidden Land Exploration Official says that because you disabled the mechanisms of the Six-Pillar Temple, you resolved the issue of magnetic field interference here."

"So, many messages from below that couldn't be transmitted before have now been successfully sent out."

"And regarding the Gate-Keeping Beast, they now have a more detailed understanding!"

"Oh?"

Song Yiqing was quite interested; he hadn't expected this to actually be useful.

Lin Tianyi and the others didn't know much about the Gate-Keeping Beast, only that it was a very dangerous creature.

This much was evident just from seeing the corpses on the ground.

As for his 'Encyclopedia of Ancient Biological Knowledge,' he would only be able to identify exactly what kind of creature or monster it was after seeing it.

Otherwise, it was impossible to know out of thin air.

He then briefly looked over the information provided by the Forbidden Land Exploration Official.

"Extremely fast, difficult to capture, possesses chameleon-like camouflage abilities, roughly three meters in size, strong resistance to physical impact..."

"Not afraid of ordinary bullets..."

Reading the introduction to the Gate-Keeping Beast, he couldn't help but click his tongue slightly.

Just from the description, it seemed incredibly troublesome.

However, it was currently unclear what rank it reached. Anything below SS could still be handled easily, but SSS was an existence he hadn't encountered yet.

If he played all his cards and cooperated with Zhang Qilin, they should have a chance of winning.

...

In the livestream room, the viewers were also stunned after seeing the warning issued by the Forbidden Land Exploration Official.

[What the heck? Ordinary bullets are useless? And it has chameleon-like camouflage? This place is pitch black; you won't be able to see it at all, right?]

[Looking at the description, this Gate-Keeping Beast's defense must be comparable to the Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion! At this level, unless you can find its vital spot, killing it will be extremely difficult!]

[Finding vital spots is Song Yiqing's specialty!]

[The guy above, don't make me laugh! He's professional because things like the Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion just happened to fall within his expertise.]

[But this Gate-Keeping Beast—can't you tell? He doesn't understand it at all! Without that foundation, what vital spot is he going to find?]

[Exactly. And didn't you see those corpses just now? Many of them belonged to professional Archaeological Teams that went missing in the past!]

[Those Archaeological Teams had many paleontology scholars too!]

[They couldn't solve it, so to be honest, it'll be very hard even for Song Yiqing.]

...

Meanwhile, in the Taklamakan Desert Forbidden Zone, a one-eyed middle-aged man carrying a sword frowned slightly as he looked at the livestream on his device.

"I didn't expect them to enter the Gate-Keeping Beast's territory."

At this moment, a woman standing near him spoke up.

"Blindie, what do you think the probability is that this Song Yiqing can survive the Gate-Keeping Beast?"

"If I remember correctly, among those who ventured inside before, only a few martial arts experts who reached the Xiantian level came back alive."

"Heh."

The middle-aged man called 'Blindie' gave a light chuckle.

"Based on my years of observation, Song Yiqing's strength should already be at the Xiantian level."

"But to survive the Gate-Keeping Beast, this level of strength alone is not enough."

"It also depends on what level his swordsmanship has reached!"

"Swordsmanship? That Sword Control Technique is indeed mysterious,"

The woman laughed.

"But in the end, it's just flashy. For true killing techniques, one should hold the sword in their own hand."

...

At the same time,

On Song Yiqing's livestream screen,

Lin Tianyi, who was walking in front, suddenly halted his steps and lowered his voice.

"Something's wrong! We've been through this place once!"

As he spoke, he looked to the side at a mark he had left earlier; they had now returned to it.

Everyone present knew exactly what this meant.

"Old Lin, there are no forks in the road here. How could we have walked back?"

Fatty surveyed the surroundings with some confusion.

"Could it be that we've fallen into an illusion?"

"It shouldn't be an illusion."

Lin Tianyi's brow was tightly furrowed as he carefully observed the walls.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be something wrong with these walls."

As he spoke, he reached out toward the wall in front of him.

But at that instant, a blade was placed directly across his throat,

causing Lin Tianyi's movements to freeze instantly!

"Brother Zhang, what are you doing?"

Lin Tianyi suppressed his anger and asked for a reason.

Fatty and Wang Shan lowered their centers of gravity, already prepared for a fight to the death.

Behind them, Wu Ren and his two companions all raised their guns, aiming at Fatty and Wang Shan.

The situation instantly became extremely tense, with everyone at each other's throats.

At the slightest movement, bullets from both sides would fly.

But it was then that Song Yiqing reached out and patted Zhang Qilin's shoulder, then spoke up.

"Brother Zhang doesn't like to talk, so please bear with him."

"However, his meaning is very clear: there is a problem with this wall."

"But if you touch it, the problem will only get bigger!"

...
