7: Chapter 7: Song Yiqing is not the first!

“...”

Zhang Qilin gave a nearly imperceptible nod. Immediately, in the midst of the battle, he began to gradually shift his attacks toward the Vital point Shen Yu had mentioned.

The Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion could be seen visibly dodging, no longer possessing the same reckless, unstoppable momentum as before.

It was starting to feel apprehensive!

This reaction caused Zhang Qilin to inevitably cast another glance toward Song Yiqing.

Though there was no change in his words or expression, with just that one look, Song Yiqing understood that Zhang Qilin was expressing his gratitude.

Following that, Song Yiqing gave a few more instructions, telling him to attack the tail first to exploit a physiological trait of the Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion and force it to reveal a weakness.

This time, Zhang Qilin was undoubtedly more cooperative; he acted almost the instant Song Yiqing spoke.

His ghost-like figure drifted back and forth around the Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion.

His extreme agility caused every one of the Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion's attacks to miss, leaving it unable to inflict even a shred of damage on Zhang Qilin.

Meanwhile, Zhang Qilin was able to constantly slash at its Vital point, causing immense interference to the creature.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!!”

The continuous attacks on its Vital point made the Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion extremely uncomfortable, and it even began to consider fleeing.

However, the moment it showed signs of retreating, Zhang Qilin's blade became even faster.

Guided by Song Yiqing’s precise judgment, after successfully baiting the Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion into exposing its Vital point, a fierce blow instantly slashed down!

Swish!!

The tumor instantly burst apart.

Thick green blood immediately began to gush out, splattering the ground with filth.

[Challenge Mission: Kill the Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion, Completed. Reward Obtained: ????]

[Detected that the host has completed a kill mission for the first time. Triggering Newbie Reward.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the SSS-grade Taotie Bloodline!]

As the system’s three consecutive notification tones faded, Song Yiqing instantly felt his body gradually becoming somewhat strange.

The blood in his body felt as if it had been completely renewed.

It was as if a ferocious beast had begun to burrow into his body,

clashing violently and frantically within him.

The process felt like it lasted an eternity, but in reality, only a few seconds had passed.

By the time Song Yiqing snapped out of it, he clearly felt his physical strength had improved once again.

In particular, the muscle lines on his arms had become more defined.

If he previously had the physique of a Soldier King, he was now the King among Soldier Kings.

The King of Kings!!

At the same time, he noticed that the Taotie Bloodline possessed a rather special ability:

The Devour effect.

As long as he devoured the spirits of ancient creatures, he could transform them into nutrients. A portion would be used to enhance the strength of his bloodline,

while the other portion would nourish his body, gradually refining it to produce Qi.

When he began to secretly circulate the Taotie Bloodline, he suddenly felt a sudden impulse to devour Zhang Qilin.

Is this the attraction of a rare bloodline?

No, no, that's not right!!

Song Yiqing hurriedly suppressed the impulse in his heart.

On the other side, Zhang Qilin, standing by the corpse, also seemed to sense something and looked over.

But he quickly withdrew his gaze. After flicking the green blood off his blade, he sheathed it and began walking in a certain direction.

Song Yiqing quickly stepped forward to mark the corpse on the ground and then sent the data.

“Mm, that should do it. The authorities surely won't cheat me out of those few points.”

As he spoke, he quickened his pace to keep up with Zhang Qilin.

However, in a place he was completely unaware of,

the bullet chat in his livestream room was boiling over.

[Holy crap?? They actually killed the Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion!! This Song Yiqing really knew its Vital point!!]

[Wait, how is that possible?! I just saw the official Flying Tiger Archaeological Expedition Team encounter an Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion, and they still haven't won!]

[My god! What is the background of these two? I originally thought they might just be cannon fodder, but now it seems things aren't that simple!!]

At this time, dissenting opinions also popped up.

[What do you mean Song Yiqing really understands this Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion? Go take a good look at the news on the Official Ancient Biology Website. Just now, the experts there already published the method to kill it!!]

Song Yiqing isn't the first!]

[I knew it! Song Yiqing looks so young, how could he possibly know more than the experts!]

[Hammered. This is the truth!]

[This is so abstract. Please check the publication time first! That was clearly after Song Yiqing said those words!!]

[To the person above, that's called lag, don't you understand? Stop trying to manufacture a hero here! It's impossible for someone that young!]

Meanwhile, on the other side, on the livestream screen of the Flying Tiger Archaeological Expedition Team,

during yesterday's Black Sandstorm, they had narrowly escaped by finding an abandoned underground farmhouse.

As it turned out, they had now directly encountered an Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion, which was usually only found in the outer or even inner regions!

The difficulty of killing it made all the scholars and special forces soldiers present frown.

Bai Yao, who was in charge of publicity, naturally took on the task of checking the bullet chat.

However, there was always a fly buzzing around her.

Xue Xingye, dragging his injured arm, kept talking beside her.

“Damn it!! If I weren't injured, maybe I could have joined the fight. If I were the one fighting,”

“this giant scorpion would be a piece of cake!! What a shame! Truly a shame!!”

“...”

Bai Yao ignored him entirely, continuing to look at the bullet chat. When she noticed an important piece of news, she frowned slightly.

“Someone successfully killed an Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion?”

“Who? Who's that capable?”

Xue Xingye leaned in curiously, but when he saw those three specific characters, the expression on his face instantly became as ugly as if he had eaten feces.

“Song Yiqing??”

But then he thought, maybe it was just someone with the same name. After all, it wasn't like there could only be one Song Yiqing in this world.

Furthermore, given the other guy's situation, there was no way he would participate in an archaeological expedition again.

Unless he really didn't value his life anymore.

After thinking of this, Xue Xingye's heart was instantly relieved and at ease.

In the following minutes, Bai Yao quickly recounted the method mentioned in the bullet chat for killing the Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion.

Upon hearing this, the captain of the special forces on-site immediately began to change their combat strategy.

“Everyone!! Change of plans. From now on, I will directly command and issue attack orders!!”
