9: Chapter 9 I will not offend others unless they offend me.

In the distance, the group from the Yan Family Gang, holding wolf-eye flashlights, approached with slow, unhurried steps.

Upon hearing the sound, Song Yiqing had already opened his eyes.

As for Zhang Qilin, he maintained his posture with his eyes closed, not paying these people any mind.

Song Yiqing's live stream had been left on the entire time and was not turned off; the arrival of Yan Kuanru and his group shocked the viewers.

[Damn! I just came from the Yan Family Gang's live stream. You have no idea how cruel these people are. They just killed an expedition team!! And stole their resources!]

[What? These people are actually that rampant? They aren't afraid of public opinion at all!]

[You above are overthinking it. This is the Forbidden Land! It's not a place governed by law! Do you think the life-and-death contract was signed for nothing?]

[It's too real. Entering this place, besides having to prevent being attacked and killed by monsters, you have to be even more wary of humans!! Humans are the most dangerous!]

[Streamer, streamer! Be careful! Be careful! The methods of this group are extremely cruel!]

[Although the young man skilled in ancient martial arts could kill the Underworld Flame Giant Scorpion, in the end, the Yan Family Gang possesses firearms. After all, humans are made of flesh and blood.]

On the live stream screen, Song Yiqing watched these people approach quietly.

Yan Kuanru, walking at the very front, looked them over with a faint, ambiguous smile.

"Interesting, truly interesting."

As he spoke, he walked up to Song Yiqing, looked him up and down, and said,

"No wonder you dare to act as a lone wolf. It seems you truly have something special about you."

"And so?"

Song Yiqing slowly looked up at the other man, his face devoid of any expression.

The gaze between the two sides seemed to faintly spark with friction.

But at this moment, Yan Kuanru waved his hand.

"Hehehe, I'm not very interested in how you escaped from the hands of that scorpion; after all, that is your method."

As he spoke, he signaled to the others from the Yan Family Gang.

"We lost a lot of our supplies. It's fine if we use your torch for a bit, right?"

"Suit yourself."

Song Yiqing said casually, then continued to sit cross-legged.

The group from the Yan Family Gang opposite him turned their heads, chatting and laughing as if they were camping outdoors.

But soon, their expressions turned slightly fierce.

Zhu Chenshan, with a dark expression, touched the wound on his right hand.

"These two must have some kind of special medicine on them. Otherwise, that scorpion couldn't have failed to kill them."

His words received agreement from quite a few people on the scene.

"That's right, I suspect that too."

"If we can obtain it and then seize their supplies, perhaps we can venture even deeper."

"Wait a bit longer; now is not the time."

The group whispered among themselves, and then they began to lie down leisurely and 'fell asleep,' as if nothing had happened.

Although they tried their best to keep their voices down, Song Yiqing's hearing had improved significantly after acquiring the Soldier King physique, and after gaining the boost from the Taotie Bloodline, his hearing was far superior to an ordinary person's.

The conversation of the Yan Family Gang members was as clear as if it were on speakerphone, allowing him to hear it all perfectly.

However, he didn't pay much attention to this. If it really came down to a fight, he would just kill them all and be done with it.

If people do not offend me, I will not offend them; if people offend me, then prepare to die!

The night passed extremely slowly.

However, Song Yiqing's extremely strong perception also detected something strange in the surrounding environment.

"Hm?"

Song Yiqing felt the almost imperceptible slight trembling of the ground. If one had to describe it, it was as if something was coming, but what exactly it was... that was currently unknown.

'It seems this night will be quite spectacular!'

Song Yiqing closed his eyes, appearing to sleep, but in reality, he was amplifying his perception.

Time ticked away, and the traffic in Song Yiqing's live stream skyrocketed from the original few thousand to over ten thousand.

Because everyone knew clearly that a fierce and tragic slaughter might be about to happen!

So everyone was somewhat looking forward to seeing the scene about to unfold.

[Looking at it, Song Yiqing probably won't be reading the comments anymore!]

[Actually, even if he saw them, it wouldn't be of any use. Once he directly showed behaviors like running away, then Yan Kuanru and those people would definitely kill him immediately.]

[That's right, this possibility is still quite high.]

[So now it just depends on how Song Yiqing and that young man who knows ancient martial arts avoid this slaughter.]

Several hours passed, and the temperature in the entire Taklamakan Desert dropped by another dozen degrees or so.

At the same time, rustling noises sounded all around; the group from the Yan Family Gang began their move!

Yan Kuanru was the first to open his eyes. He first sized up Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin, who were resting with their eyes closed, and then immediately signaled to the person beside him.

The latter slowly climbed to his feet and approached slowly.

Song Yiqing was also prepared to activate the Taotie Bloodline, and in turn, have a 'hearty meal.'

But just at this moment, swoosh!! A blade's gleam arrived in an instant.

It was Zhang Qilin's black gold ancient blade. The long, slender blade, exuding an eerie aura, was plunged diagonally into the ground right in front of that Yan Family Gang member.

The scene instantly fell into a deathly silence. A few seconds later, a cold voice gradually tore through it.

"Leave now, and I won't kill you."

As Zhang Qilin spoke, he slowly stood up. At this moment, he was like a god of death in the dark night; a single action was enough to completely intimidate Yan Kuanru and the others.

Even Song Yiqing couldn't help but want to compliment how cool that move was!

But this intimidation only lasted for a few seconds; Yan Kuanru quickly regained his composure.

"Heh, that sounds quite intimidating. If we don't leave, could it be you'll kill us?"

As he spoke, he had already drawn his rifle. Judging by its shape and material, it should be a weapon redeemed from the Forbidden Land Exploration Official.

"I want to see whether your blade is faster, or my gun is faster."

Yan Kuanru's face was full of a confident smile, not feeling flustered at all because of that move by Zhang Qilin.

The other members of the Yan Family Gang also grinned, their faces full of smugness, as if Song Yiqing and Zhang Qilin were already in the bag at this moment.

But at this moment, Song Yiqing said indifferently, "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

He suddenly began a countdown, making Yan Kuanru and the others feel somewhat strange.

"Are you counting down your own death, kid? Hahaha!"

"Hilarious! This is the first time I've seen someone count down their own time of death."

"Brothers, let me be the one to fire the shot later!"

The Yan Family Gang members shouted. But in the next second, the sound of a wolf's howl suddenly tore through the night sky, "Awoooo——"
