72: There's someone in Chapter 72!!

Boom—!

Following the thunderous explosion of Pangzi's grenade,

a cloud of gunpowder smoke filled the scene.

Zhang Qilin took the opportunity to close in again, weaving through the onslaught of tentacles under the cover of gunfire.

In an instant, the black gold ancient blade in his hand slashed toward the closed, giant mouthparts!

Clang—!

As the long blade struck, brilliant sparks erupted.

The slightly parting mouthparts caused the dawn of hope to gradually light up in everyone's hearts.

The thought of pressing the advantage surfaced in everyone's minds, and bullets were fired with extreme precision into the mouthparts.

Rat-tat-tat-tat!!

But to everyone's surprise, the bullets produced no effective damage once they entered the mouth.

It was like a needle falling into the sea, unable to create even the slightest ripple.

Pangzi's pupils constricted violently, and his hands trembled slightly.

The theory that the eyes within the mouthparts were the weakness and vital point...

Song Yiqing had emphasized it repeatedly just moments ago.

But at the moment the bullets impacted and sparked,

Pangzi saw it clearly.

Inside the mouthparts... there was a person!!!

And that person was actually using his hands to block the bullets, rendering all the attacks completely useless!

"There's someone inside!! There's someone inside!! I'll be damned..."

Pangzi shouted frantically in a panic.

Then, another wave of attacks swept forward.

This time, it wasn't bullets; Song Yiqing used the Sword Control Technique to instantly send the red leaf sword plunging inside.

The red leaf sword, trailing a red streak of light, was stopped the moment it entered.

And in that same instant, everyone saw it clearly.

There was a person inside the mouthparts.

However, this person was very strange; only half of his body was fused inside the mouthparts, as if he had replaced the uvula.

Even stranger, the person's arms were covered in small white worms, and these worms had eerie human faces that wore smiles that made one's skin crawl.

"Hee hee hee hee—"

"Hee hee hee—"

"Hee hee hee hee—"

Whether it was a psychological effect or mental interference,

everyone felt that after seeing the person in the mouth, the eerie, babbling laughter became unforgettable in their ears.

The bizarre laughter made their scalps tingle.

To some extent, it was even draining their will to fight.

[Holy crap! Holy crap!! What on earth am I seeing? Why am I hearing such creepy laughter! I'm going to die!]

[This sound is so weird. I've turned off my phone's volume, so why is it still echoing in my ears!]

[What... what is going on? Am... am I hallucinating??]

[This is bad, this is bad! Am I going to die!!]

It wasn't just Lin Tianyi and the others who were plagued by the sound.

Even the viewers watching the livestream felt as if they were haunted by a nightmare, with that eerie voice echoing in their ears.

"Roar—!"

Suddenly,

the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon instantly shattered the eerie voice like a heavy hammer.

Everyone's body jolted.

They all felt as if they had just escaped from being submerged in water.

They were covered in cold sweat, and the sticky feeling of their clothes clinging to them was extremely uncomfortable.

But after that dragon-tiger roar, the strange giggling and murmuring in their ears vanished instantly.

Almost instinctively, everyone looked for Zhang Qilin's figure.

But to their surprise, Zhang Qilin also looked like he had just broken free.

In an instant,

a startling thought occurred to them.

Could it be Song Yiqing???

But why?

This was clearly a sound that only someone with a special bloodline could produce.

So why did Song Yiqing...

The thoughts in everyone's minds were chaotic, and they all instinctively turned back to look over there.

They saw Song Yiqing with his hands behind his back, looking like a transcendent master, practically having the words 'it was my doing' written on his face.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The people at the scene felt a wave of helplessness, but the shock in their hearts didn't diminish in the slightest.

However, the tentacles attacking again interrupted their thoughts,

forcing them to continue the fight.

At this moment, Pangzi let out a roar.

"Lord Song!! How do we fight this?"

"Do you all dare to play a big game?"

Song Yiqing spoke casually, but it felt like a massive stone was weighing on everyone's hearts.

Everyone's expression was highly solemn.

They weren't like Song Yiqing, who could maintain a good mindset at all times.

But they could also sense the tension in Song Yiqing's emotions at this moment.

Because he was the backbone of the group right now.

The backbone must never show fear,

otherwise, it would only cause negative emotions to skyrocket,

which would further lead to more danger.

So, he was holding on.

Bang, bang, bang!!

Just then, Pangzi fired his gun to repel several tentacles, then grinned and shouted with a heartfelt form of address,

"At Lord Song's command!!"

Then Lin Tianyi and the others expressed their stance one after another,

"At Lord Song's command!!"

"At Lord Song's command!!"

"At Lord Song's command!!"

...

Hearing their words, Song Yiqing took another large gulp of wine.

Finally, the wine aura had stacked to thirty layers.

Last time, twenty-odd layers of wine aura had given him the ability to forcefully repel the Flood Dragon Python.

So what about thirty layers now?

He didn't think about failure; he was just wondering if the damn system would upgrade his reward level.

If he didn't get an SSS-level reward after this fight, it would truly be unreasonable.

He set aside his thoughts and then controlled the red leaf and blue frost swords to continuously fend off the attacks.

At the same time, he spoke up,

"Cover me!! I'm going to slay it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yiqing had already dashed off using the Lost Step.

He had considered letting Zhang Qilin go, but other than charging in recklessly, the man really didn't have any life-saving methods.

But he was different; under the state of the Golden Light Curse, he was practically invincible and didn't fear any damage.

Even though the consumption was massive, as long as he killed the Mother Body and swallowed its spirit, the consumed Qi would surely be restored in an instant!

Therefore, he had to be the one to take the initiative this time!

Great Dragon Elephant Strength!

Taotie Bloodline!

Golden Light Curse!

Drunken Song!

One ability after another was frantically activated. Using the Lost Step, he was as fast as lightning, increasing his speed and power in an incredible way.

The golden light blooming vividly on his body was extremely dazzling.

At this moment, Song Yiqing was like a hero marching against the night,

shaking the hearts of everyone present!!

Pangzi grit his teeth, gripped his gun, and roared,

"Lord Song—!"

Bang, bang, bang!
