The students behind them brightened. Although these were different burial artifacts from the previous ones, this item was precious. Preciousness was paramount.
Zhou Lin walked to the side, his eyes calm and unruffled. He picked up a gemstone and examined it carefully. Its color and texture were very clear and pure.
But…
Zhou Lin clearly felt a sinister aura nearby. This aura was faint and elusive; one would not easily detect it without careful observation.
The entire space contained only a few simple burial artifacts. Compared to the previous tomb chambers, these items were insignificant.
The metaphysics professor and Guo Liang looked at these items, their eyes lighting up. These were all treasures!
Behind them, Samwell, Jimmy, and Gall’s eyes lit up upon seeing the artifacts. Then, Gall came to his senses and tugged at Samwell’s sleeve.
“Professor…”
Samwell immediately understood and deliberately blocked the Great Xia equipment with his body, creating an opportunity for the two behind him.
Jimmy and Gall, as if appraising them, approached a palace lantern.
In the live broadcast room.
“Wow, there aren’t many of these, but they look exquisite. Could they be priceless?”
“It’s not a question of ‘could be’; they are definitely priceless. There’s no doubt about it. It’s a shame that Eagle Country won’t have them. They only have things like diamonds or gemstones.”
“They don’t seem to have much historical depth.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? It’s just a different kind of gemstone, but they are priceless. We have them too, don’t we? Aren’t they just gemstones?”
“Exactly. Our Eagle Country’s items are not as simple as you think. You still wouldn’t be able to afford them.”
…
In the Dean’s conference room.
“This is jade coral. It was recorded in books before, but not extensively. It was considered a treasure. I remember it being among the burial artifacts of King Lu Shang. How could it be here?”
Professor Wen was surprised when he saw the item.
“King Lu Shang? Could this be King Lu Shang’s tomb?”
Professor Hu was also very familiar with King Lu Shang. It was said that he possessed the ability to summon ghost soldiers. This prince was incredibly powerful, but he had never heard that King Lu Shang’s tomb was located here.
“No, this is not King Lu Shang’s tomb. However, this item… if I’m not mistaken, it means King Lu Shang’s tomb has already been robbed.”
The Dean was quite certain that this was not King Lu Shang’s tomb.
“We heard before that King Lu Shang was elusive and could command ghost soldiers. Someone managed to rob the tomb of such a powerful individual. What kind of person could do that?”
Professor Hu looked at the Dean with great surprise.
“There were so many capable individuals in ancient times? Just like Zhou Lin is capable, how do you know how skilled ancient tomb robbers were? These are past events, and there’s no point in dwelling on them.”
“Now that this item is here, there’s no use in discussing it.”
The Dean no longer wanted to ponder the matter. It was enough to know that the item was here; nothing else was important.
Inside the tomb.
The metaphysics professor looked at the bells on top, filled with curiosity.
“Why is this bell hexagonal?”
The metaphysics professor reached out to take it down for a closer look, but before he could, the bells began to move on their own.
A series of sounds emanated from them, sounds that were strangely familiar.
The sounds were so familiar that they could almost not forget them, as if they were etched into their very bones.
“These sounds… they sound like the sounds of zombies?”
The metaphysics professor instinctively withdrew his hand, not daring to touch them.
“These bells are called Hexagonal Bronze Bells. There is a creature inside them that has the ability to bewitch the mind. You are fortunate you didn’t truly touch them, or you would have been mesmerized.”
Zhou Lin spoke up, still worried.
“Ah? Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
The metaphysics professor exclaimed upon hearing this and quickly withdrew his hand.
“You didn’t ask either.”
Zhou Lin felt wronged and shrugged helplessly.
However, as Samwell looked at the Hexagonal Bronze Bells, a dark aura flashed in his eyes.
He seemed to be gazing at the Hexagonal Bronze Bells with infatuation.
“Since we can’t move these, let’s study the gemstones here. Captain Bai, please look for an exit. We need to leave here as soon as possible.”
The metaphysics professor looked at Captain Bai, feeling it was best to avoid danger and leave quickly.
“Understood.”
Captain Bai quickly agreed.
The archaeological team began to study the gemstones before them.
“These items look very old… but why do I feel so strange? Why is there no dust on them? It’s been so long, and there shouldn’t be any dust at all! The wooden shelf before had dust on it, so why is there none here?”
The metaphysics professor held up his hand and looked at his finger. There was not a speck of dust on it.
“Dust? That’s not the issue, the main thing is…”
Before he could finish speaking, a familiar sound reached Zhou Lin and the others’ ears.
It was accompanied by the sound of bells.
Everyone in the tomb chamber quickly looked towards the source of the sound.
They saw Samwell standing by the jade tree, holding a bell.
The bell was being shaken, its sound clear and crisp.
The next moment—
Clang…
The door they had just entered through slammed shut.
“Samwell, what are you doing? Get down here immediately.”
Guo Liang was furious with Samwell. Was this guy here just to cause trouble? Hadn’t he caused enough problems on the way?
Not only was he unhelpful, but he was also constantly creating trouble, manufacturing crises out of nothing. It was all his doing.
Captain Bai, the metaphysics professor, and the students all stared at Samwell.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were instantly enraged.
“Holy shit, what the hell are you doing, you old bastard?”
“How dare you speak like that? How can you talk about our professor like that? Are all of you from Great Xia so uncivilized?”
“Shut up. What professor? What a damn professor! Your professor is just a troublemaker who creates crises. I’m telling you, if the mercenaries or the archaeological team are in any danger, I’m not done with you.”
“Exactly. If anything happens, you people from Eagle Country better keep your mouths shut. If you dare to speak, I’ll curse you to death, including all your ancestors, do you believe me?”
