"Is this one of your Great Xia artifacts? It looks quite nice."
Samor reached out and touched the patterns, his voice unable to hide his delight.
There was also a hint of greed, barely perceptible.
"It is nice, which is why it is our Great Xia's. You can only look."
Zhou Lin said slowly.
Samor frowned upon hearing this and finally put down the vase in his hand.
Guo Liang looked at these items, his eyes also filled with joy. These were all Great Xia's.
"Professor, look, what is this?"
A student from the archaeological team walked to a corner and saw a sarcophagus there. However, this sarcophagus looked rather small.
There were also some talismans on it, sealing it.
Everyone looked towards the sarcophagus. No one dared to open it rashly, and they could only look at Zhou Lin.
Among the Great Xia archaeological team, a rule had formed: as long as Zhou Lin was present, they would not easily open a coffin.
They could only wait for Zhou Lin to speak.
However, the staff from Old Eagle Country behind them were dismissive. They walked directly to the sarcophagus and tore off one of the talismans.
"Why are you Great Xia people so hesitant? Don't you want to see what this is?"
"Hey, who are you? Who allowed you to touch it?"
Captain Bai was furious and shouted loudly.
The people from Great Xia were already displeased with him.
In the live broadcast room.
"Damn it, what is this bastard doing? Why does he get to touch it? What is he?"
"Exactly, this thing is sealed with talismans. It might be problematic. Why did he touch it?"
"That's enough! This is Old Eagle Country doing you a favor by opening it. Don't be ungrateful, understand?"
"You Great Xia people always like to be mysterious, it's laughable."
"Heh... mysterious. If anything dangerous happens later, don't you dare complain that it's Great Xia's fault. Don't blame us if we get rough with you."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what terrifying thing appears later to teach you a lesson."
...
In the dean's conference room.
"Damn it, what is this Old Eagle Country guy doing? Is it his turn to act?"
Professor Hu expressed his strong dissatisfaction with this behavior. Did this guy want to die?
"Ignorance is bliss. He'll know soon enough. If a zombie pops out, try dealing with that."
Professor Wen also felt this behavior was inappropriate and was very angry.
"No need to worry, it might happen soon. Didn't you see Zhou Lin's expression? He doesn't look worried at all."
The dean also had some mischievous thoughts, wondering what kind of scene would unfold later.
"Dean, you're becoming wicked."
"Yeah, learning from Zhou Lin?"
"But I think it's very satisfying, haha."
...
Inside the tomb.
"What are you people afraid of with this thing?"
The staff member tore off the talisman on top, and then a familiar sound emerged.
Thump, thump, thump!!!
A series of knocking sounds came from within the sarcophagus.
The ear chamber was quiet, making this sound particularly noticeable, as if it was striking a chord in everyone's hearts.
This sound was like a curse in everyone's minds.
The students from Great Xia instinctively stood behind Zhou Lin. They felt safer behind Zhou Lin than behind the mercenaries, mainly because...
The things inside were more terrifying than bandits.
"Just a sound, and you're already this scared?"
The Old Eagle Country staff member beside him also felt a chill down his spine, but out of pride, he had to brace himself.
"You'd better go back immediately. Otherwise, if something happens later, Great Xia cannot be held responsible. Also, return the talisman you're holding immediately."
Zhou Lin reminded him with 'kindness,' a hint of mockery in his eyes.
This mocking tone made the staff member unhappy, but he didn't act.
"It's already been taken down, there's no need to return it, right?"
The staff member was even more displeased.
Zhou Lin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and said no more.
Boom...
As soon as Zhou Lin finished speaking, the small sarcophagus beside him suddenly burst open. Inside lay a small zombie. This little zombie's body and face were pale white, with a luminous quality.
Its previously closed eyes suddenly snapped open, revealing a red glow. It then sat up from within.
The little zombie looked at the Old Eagle Country person beside it and, without a second thought, decapitated him.
The Old Eagle Country staff member's head rolled to Samor's feet, his expression of terror still etched on his face.
The people from Old Eagle Country were stunned. The situation happened too quickly; they hadn't even reacted.
A smell of blood began to fill the air.
It permeated everyone's senses.
In the live broadcast room.
"My God, this guy is so ruthless? That fast?"
"This is the consequence of not listening to advice, isn't it? Who's to blame?"
"People of Great Xia, you knew this all along, didn't you?"
"You did this intentionally, deliberately letting our people get killed, didn't you?"
"You are truly shameless, even more so than those from Sakura Country. Are you all blind? Who can you blame when you don't listen to advice? I ask you, who can you blame?"
"Exactly. If you don't know to stay away, what else can you say?"
...
Inside the tomb.
"What is this thing? Are they all this quick to attack?"
The metaphysics professor looked at the small zombie, his heart filled with shock. It didn't look big, but its attack was so fierce.
"Damo, Damo?"
Samor looked at his team member dead like this, and as the head rolled on the ground, he felt his scalp tingle.
He was filled with fear.
"Why didn't you save him?"
Hong Li, standing beside him, questioned loudly.
"If you spout any more nonsense, you'll die here too. You need to have the right attitude when asking for help, understand?"
Zhou Lin frowned upon hearing the question and reprimanded him coldly.
Hong Li was about to retort when Samor pulled him back.
"Shut up."
Samor didn't want to die here.
He led the few people from Old Eagle Country backward. They would deal with the aftermath later.
Although the little zombie was only about 1.3 meters tall, its face looked very aged. Its scarlet eyes scanned around and finally settled on Zhou Lin.
It had a disgusting smell about it.
And it was very uncomfortable.
"It seems to be looking at you."
Captain Bai stood in front of Zhou Lin and said softly.
"This is a Bù Huà Gǔ. It's very sensitive to danger."
Zhou Lin merely glanced at the Bù Huà Gǔ opposite him and sneered.
"Bù Huà Gǔ? Isn't that a high-level zombie? How did we encounter this thing as soon as we entered?"
The metaphysics professor expressed his bewilderment.
"We entered randomly, so it's not strange to encounter it."
