69: Chapter 69 The wind is blowing hard! Let's get out of here!

"Oh, it's nothing,"

Song Yiqing took a step back and then explained,

"These are small insects that often appear in Yi Magic."

"According to our previous inference, since this Gate-Keeping Beast was created by Yi Magic,"

"Then besides being able to split off sub-beasts, this Mother Body..."

"The things she spits out from her mouth and belly should be a breeding ground for some kind of Yi Insect."

"If you accidentally get bitten, you'll likely be poisoned."

"????"

When the Fatty heard this and saw the other party standing three meters away protected by the Golden Light Curse, he couldn't help but curse,

"Holy crap!!"

He immediately jumped back to get away, while at the same time, dense swarms of tiny insects began to crawl out of that cut.

At this moment, Lin Tianyi was quick-eyed and deft-handed, quickly pulling out a simple flame-thrower bottle from his backpack.

Boom!!!

The blazing fire scorched them, instantly turning those emerging insects into ashes.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief in secret.

At this time, Song Yiqing spoke up again,

"Actually, there's no need to be too nervous. Whether they are poisonous is just a guess; most likely, a bite just hurts a bit."

"..."

Fatty squinted his eyes and said slowly,

"Then why did you activate the Golden Light Curse?"

"Hahahaha,"

Song Yiqing waved his hand,

"You know, some abilities are passive. You know, you just use them without thinking."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. They wanted to complain but didn't dare, so they could only swallow their grievances.

Later, when they looked at the corridor they were about to enter, there was a similar corpse every two meters inside.

Seeing this scene, Lin Tianyi warned,

"Everyone be careful. It's currently uncertain if the insects inside are highly toxic. Once touched, causing the things inside to come out would be quite troublesome."

Everyone nodded one after another, and then they saw Song Yiqing slightly raise his chin.

The meaning was clear: he had just taken the huge risk of cutting open the membrane with a knife, so now it was their turn to walk in front.

Everyone looked angry but didn't dare speak, so they could only turn their heads and walk forward.

Song Yiqing, on the other hand, was grinning and drinking wine as he followed behind. At the same time, he observed that his current Wine Qi had stacked to nearly twenty layers.

But this was still far from enough.

Because based on his perception, this Mother Body might not just be SS-rank; it could very well be even stronger.

The Jiangshi in the Tomb of Prince Gumo earlier was like that, leveling up as they fought.

So in other words, the system's judgment standard is the danger level of the target at its current stage.

If it goes berserk and levels up, it might just jump to SSS.

So it was very necessary to stack a few more layers of Wine Qi.

Gulp—

Gulp—

Ha!—

Good wine!

...

In the bullet chat area,

[Good, good, good, Lord Song is truly as inhuman as ever! He's really using his intimidation to force them!]

[Don't make it sound so bad. Lord Song has been carrying them the whole way. If you deadweights don't take some valuable action, why should he take you along?]

[Exactly! It's been said it's a cooperation, so everyone should perform their duties. Lord Song is the brain and the main damage dealer.]

[The work of a scout while traveling should definitely be done by others in the team.]

[I see many exploration teams doing it this way, don't I?]

[How come when it's Lord Song's turn, it becomes him being inhuman?]

[Hilarious, 'he's the main damage dealer' now? Isn't the real main damage dealer Brother Zhang? He just flaps his lips, what use is that!]

[If you're so capable, solo the Mother Body later!]

[Haters can really hate on anything. You don't mention a word about him using a flying sword to clear the path, tsk tsk tsk!]

The netizens split into two factions and argued fiercely.

Inside the Taklamakan Desert Forbidden Zone Exploration Official command center,

Zhu Yongfeng was quite satisfied with Song Yiqing's approach.

To survive in the forbidden zone, one should act like this.

However, the female assistant beside him muttered,

"With such strength, he should be at the front protecting everyone. A true powerhouse should stand alone against ten thousand."

"Xiaoyu, your way of thinking is a bit extreme,"

At this time, the adjutant beside her spoke up,

"What you're talking about is individual heroism, but this is a survival game. Staying alive is the primary factor!"

"Having a clear division of labor with teammates is also extremely important!"

"Hmph,"

The female assistant called Xiaoyu snorted,

"That just proves he's not strong enough. If he were really that amazing, why would he need all that trouble?"

"No, you..."

The adjutant wanted to say more, but once the other party started being unreasonable, it was hard to win the argument.

At this point, Zhu Yongfeng raised his hand to interrupt,

"Enough. Both sides have their points. Everyone has their own judgment on such matters."

He paused and then continued,

"No matter the method, the focus is on surviving! Surviving is always the key!"

He seemed to be speaking neutrally,

But Xiaoyu could tell he was taking sides, so she ignored it for a moment.

However, at this moment, a staff member suddenly said,

"General! General!! After organizing the distress signals sent out earlier, we found something very strange!"

"Something strange? What happened?"

Zhu Yongfeng quickly had the other party bring the report over.

And when he saw the content, his brow furrowed slightly,

"What is this? How can there be such a phenomenon!!"

Amidst his exclamation, he immediately ordered the assistant Xiaoyu to send all this information to the livestream room to synchronize the news.

...

On the livestream screen, everyone was still carefully weaving through the corpses.

At this time, Wu Ren, who was responsible for watching the bullet chat, quickly said,

"Lord Song, the Forbidden Land Exploration Official just sent a message."

"According to their analysis, they have encountered these corpses with membranes before."

"And these corpses are alive!"

"Alive?"

Song Yiqing was startled, and then he suddenly remembered something.

When they saw the corpses earlier, they had also heard a somewhat heavy breathing sound.

But with the appearance of the Yi Insects, he had directly ignored that point.

But now, it gave him a jolt of energy.

"The wind is tight! Scram!"

As he spoke, he took the lead, using the Lost Step to dash forward in an instant.

Although the others were puzzled, seeing Song Yiqing's huge reaction, they also rushed to catch up.

Even if they bumped into those corpses halfway, they didn't care at all.

Because as they began to run, those corpses all began to make slight shifting sounds, and then the breathing became heavier and more dense!
