65: Chapter 65 Cooperation: Success if you believe, failure if you don't.

"Whether we'll die or not is uncertain, but as for you, it's hard to say,"

Song Yiqing spoke at this moment, causing Wei Zhiyuan's body to tremble.

"You! What do you mean by that! What are you trying to do?"

As he spoke, a look of vigilance immediately surfaced on his face,

as if he were worried that Song Yiqing would use him as a sacrificial offering to escape.

Beside him, Wu Ren gently patted his shoulder, signaling him not to get too agitated.

When Wei Zhiyuan saw it was Wu Ren, he felt slightly more at ease, but internally he still harbored significant vigilance and resentment toward Song Yiqing!

At this time, Song Yiqing merely glanced at him and didn't pay him much mind, instead explaining things to Zhang Qilin and the others.

"The principle behind the existence of creatures like the Gate-Keeping Beast is that they use the absorption of moonlight and Yin-Evil Energy as nourishment.

Among them, they also have a significant connection with Yi Magic.

Once someone facing a Gate-Keeping Beast directly generates a strong aura of fear,

it will cause them to become stronger and stronger!

The more the person being killed fears them, the more easily they become the prey they target!"

"Yi Magic?"

Lin Tianyi had naturally heard of such a thing.

"I remember the so-called Yi Magic is an insidious and sinister occult art that exists within the Southern Yunnan Restricted Area, isn't it?

How could it be involved here?"

"Hehehe,"

Song Yiqing gave a faint laugh.

"Perhaps this is the secret of the forbidden land that we are meant to uncover."

“...”

Lin Tianyi fell into silence.

The Fatty shouted at this moment,

"Wait? Brothers, stop chatting!! There are too many of these damn Gate-Keeping Beasts!!

It’s a struggle for us to kill even one,

with so many here, how are we supposed to fight??"

As he spoke, his gaze swept toward Song Yiqing.

"Lord Song! You know so much about these Gate-Keeping Beasts,

so what should we do now?"

"Kill the Mother Body!"

Song Yiqing searched the scene with his eyes, but he still hadn't discovered where the so-called Mother Body was located.

However, his single sentence left everyone present bewildered.

"Mother Body??"

Lin Tianyi turned his head toward him in confusion.

Wu Ren, standing to the side, was even more surprised.

"Aren't Gate-Keeping Beasts a species group? How can it involve a Mother Body?"

"Like I said, they are products created through something similar to Yi Magic,"

Song Yiqing said patiently. Originally, he wasn't very clear on the general principles of the Gate-Keeping Beasts,

but after carefully searching through the 'Encyclopedia of Ancient Biological Knowledge', he unexpectedly found that this bizarre creature was actually recorded.

After some research, he finally understood the specific situation.

However, to truly resolve the Gate-Keeping Beasts, the assistance of Zhang Qilin and the others was indispensable.

As such, he needed to explain in detail; after all, except for Zhang Qilin, the others would not trust him so unconditionally.

"Aside from the Mother Body, the offspring Gate-Keeping Beasts born will fight among themselves.

It's similar to Raising Gu to determine the strongest one. As long as this one doesn't die, the Mother Body won't split off any more Gate-Keeping Beasts.

Because of this, compared to the Gate-Keeping Beast we encountered earlier, these are much weaker in terms of strength.

A newborn Gate-Keeping Beast will become stronger and stronger if allowed to ingest enough moonlight or Yin-Evil Energy.

So to solve this completely, we need to find where the Mother Body is!

And for this, I need time."

In just a few seconds, Song Yiqing explained the detailed situation with eloquent ease and stated his requirement at the end.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other. After all, Song Yiqing had never mentioned these things before,

and there wasn't much trust to speak of between them in the first place.

Amidst the hesitation, Zhang Qilin struck first with his blade, while dropping a single sentence:

"Be quick!"

"Of course!"

Song Yiqing nodded slightly, then looked at the two groups led by Lin Tianyi and Wu Ren.

"Cooperate. Believe and it succeeds, disbelieve and it fails."

Once those words fell, the two groups exchanged a glance and then entered the battlefield without hesitation, pulling their triggers.

Bang, bang, bang!!

The muzzles began to continuously spit fire.

And this time, it was clear that just as Song Yiqing had said, these Gate-Keeping Beasts were visibly weaker by a notch.

Basically, two or three bullets could kill one directly!

This also caused the group, who were still somewhat anxious, to suddenly gain confidence.

But their greater doubt lay in:

Why did Song Yiqing know so much about the Gate-Keeping Beasts?

...

In the bullet chat area,

following Song Yiqing's popular science explanation, the netizens exploded with comments.

[Wait, bro has been hiding his skills all along? He really didn't say a single word earlier, did he?]

[Fine, fine, fine. I'm getting more and more curious about what else Song Yiqing is hiding.

How can he be so knowledgeable about Gate-Keeping Beasts? It's like he's already researched them inside out.]

[It really was like that; I was confused when he saw through the Gate-Keeping Beast's weakness at a glance earlier,

and now he's actually stating important information that even the Forbidden Land Exploration Official hasn't mastered!]

[What 'information the official hasn't mastered'? Among the things he's saying now, not much is confirmed to be definitely correct!

At most, he just got it right that these new Gate-Keeping Beasts are relatively weak!

As for the Mother Body or whatever, we haven't even seen a single hair of it!]

[Is the person above a pure hater? Just this point alone is enough to show that Song Yiqing's judgment isn't far off. You even have to hate on this?]

Inside the Luohang Expedition Team's livestream room,

Guo Xueyan, after injecting herself with several doses of medicine manufactured by the Cui Group, began frantically slaughtering the Desert Ground Sloths like she was in a berserk state.

However, not long after, these Desert Ground Sloths quickly fled as if they had received some kind of command.

This finally gave her a chance to catch her breath,

and she also picked up her phone to watch the livestream.

Song Yiqing's explanation of the Gate-Keeping Beasts also made her feel deeply confused.

"Strange, what exactly is this person's background? Why does he know so much about the Gate-Keeping Beasts?

He really is hiding a significant secret."

Then, upon learning that Song Yiqing was suspected to be Yu Lin's apprentice and also suspected to be a descendant of the first president of the Kyoto Archaeological Institute,

it gave her an even greater sense of bewilderment.

"How is this possible? How can one person have so many identities?

Unless, he stole the jade pendant, and he also secretly learned the Feng Shui Art!!"

The more Guo Xueyan thought about it, the angrier she became. Clearly, the one who should be standing under the spotlight and becoming the focus of everyone's attention should be herself.

Why was it him!

Under the influence of the medicine in her body, her thoughts became even more extreme.

At this moment, Liang Jingcheng shouted from a distance,

"Captain Guo!! The Mechanism Gate of the Six-Pillar Temple has opened!!"

"What!"

Guo Xueyan was startled, but she quickly spoke up,

"Don't go down!"

Her thinking was very clear: the crisis of the Gate-Keeping Beasts was still great. If they could use Song Yiqing and the others to further weaken them,

then they could go down later and easily reap the rewards!

The use of the medicine had a limit; she still needed to be conservative.
