The woman on the other end of the phone shouted, her voice full of anger.
They hadn't entrusted their children to the academy for them to die.
"You just need to trust our professor with this matter. If anything unexpected happens, our academy will be responsible to the end."
The dean could understand the parents' feelings, but he truly didn't know what to say in this situation. If you don't want your students to die,
then don't interfere with Zhou Lin.
"How will you be responsible... you..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, the dean had already hung up the phone.
"Dean, you really trust Zhou Lin. You dare to guarantee this situation, impressive."
Professor Hu looked at the dean beside him with admiration. His courage was truly commendable.
"What else can I do? Should I watch the students wait to die, or wait for a slim chance of survival that Zhou Lin might bring?"
The dean naturally had his own considerations.
Inside the tomb.
Everyone was surprised by Zhou Lin's words.
"Professor Zhou Lin... you... are you telling the truth?"
Captain Bai still found it hard to believe at this moment.
"Of course it's true. Don't worry, I won't let them get hurt. When I bring them out later, you can kill them."
Zhou Lin saw a lamp on the electronic screen. The lamp had the shape of a large tree on it, emitting a faint green glow.
"Redeem."
[Ding, redemption successful.]
Zhou Lin took it out from the electronic screen's backpack and placed it on the ground.
"Open."
Zhou Lin suddenly shouted, and the green tree-like lamp beside him began to emit light.
Finally, Zhou Lin planted the branch in his hand into the ground, and it began to sprout.
Then, a light suddenly appeared at the spot where those people had disappeared.
The next moment.
A large tree appeared below the branch, and students were hanging from it.
They were all tightly strangled by ropes around their necks.
This scene successfully shocked Captain Bai, the metaphysical professor beside him, and Guo Liang.
What was going on? Why were these children hanged?
But looking at their struggles, it seemed like they had only just been hanged.
"Captain Bai..."
Zhou Lin gave an order, and Captain Bai immediately snapped back to attention.
He raised the weapon in his hand and began to shoot.
When these students saw Captain Bai aiming his weapon at them, a bad premonition surged in their hearts.
Their eyes held confusion, and most importantly, terror. Why were they being treated like this?
"I'm sorry, this is for your own good."
Captain Bai felt a pang of guilt.
Bang!
Bang bang bang!!!
The students struggling on the tree stopped struggling within a few breaths.
The classmates and professors behind them watched their own people being killed like this, and their hearts ached.
In the live stream.
"Holy crap, the big shot really did it. He can actually do something like this? Isn't it too much?"
"I know the big shot has other intentions, but seeing it with my own eyes now, I still can't accept it."
"Why? Do they have to kill them?"
"I don't know, we'll find out later. Didn't you see what the big shot took out earlier?"
"Your Great Xia is truly cruel, to harm your own people?"
"Exactly, aren't they supposed to be benevolent? Is this benevolence?"
"Shut up, this is Great Xia's business. Just open your eyes and watch clearly. This is not something you can compare to."
"Exactly, this is not something you can compare to."
"Our Eagle Country is waiting to see what you are like."
...
Inside the tomb.
These students had stopped breathing, and the last trace of a faint red aura emerged from their bodies.
Seeing this, Zhou Lin's heart leaped with joy. He then looked at the green tree-like lamp beside him, which was continuously absorbing the aura from their bodies.
After absorbing it all, Zhou Lin put it away and walked to the large tree.
"Sea of Fire Funeral."
Zhou Lin saw walls of fire on both sides closing in on them.
The students' bodies were emitting heat.
"You want to use these children's souls to escape these flames. Now I will make you nowhere to hide. Let's see how you run."
Zhou Lin looked at the children's corpses and shouted angrily.
Then, the students who died with their eyes wide open seemed to hear something. Their eyes were filled with hatred and coldness.
"You are willing to kill these children just to destroy us. You are truly vicious. In terms of wickedness, you are more terrifying than us."
A deceased classmate suddenly opened and closed their mouth.
This startled everyone.
Weren't they already dead? How did it turn out like this?
"That's my business. You have nowhere to hide now. You can wait to die."
Zhou Lin seemed not to hear these wood spirits, and coldly glanced at the large tree opposite them.
The fire walls were also closing in, and finally, the students' screams were heard.
The flames engulfed the large tree, and the students' bodies began to show signs of burning.
"Zhou Lin, these students' bodies..."
The metaphysical professor was about to rush over after speaking, but Zhou Lin stopped him.
"Don't move. I know what I'm doing."
Zhou Lin looked at the metaphysical professor with a solemn expression, preventing him from going forward.
Just as the flames were about to reach the students, a wisp of green aura emerged from their bodies and flowed downwards.
The next moment.
Zhou Lin waved his hand, directing all the flames into the ground below.
Then, Zhou Lin rushed forward and rescued these students.
"Quick, help."
Zhou Lin pulled the students aside and shouted.
Captain Bai and the students quickly came back to their senses and hurried to Zhou Lin's side, moving the students aside.
"They are all burned. What should we do?"
Guo Liang looked at the corpses, his heart filled with distress.
"They'll be fine."
Zhou Lin casually threw them into the large pot.
Plop—
Plop—
As the students' corpses were thrown in, the mercenaries and students inside were shocked to see the wounds on the students' bodies.
What had they experienced outside to be in such a state?
"How are their wounds? Are they healing?"
Zhou Lin shouted into the large pot.
"Yes."
The people inside replied.
Then, Zhou Lin looked at the large tree on the ground with satisfaction.
Boom—
The branches of the large tree that had been hanging the students earlier were instantly ignited.
The fiery red light was accompanied by the screams of the wood spirits, which sounded rather eerie.
In a short while, the large tree disappeared.
Now, it was the students' problem.
