Captain Bai and his team heard the commotion and knew they couldn't escape. They decided to fight to the death.
Determination flickered in their eyes.
"Brothers, pick up your weapons. If necessary, aim for their eyes. Even if we die, we'll blind them."
After Captain Bai spoke, the distinct sound of bullets being chambered echoed.
In the live stream:
"Damn, they're going all out. Where's the big shot? Why isn't the big shot making a move?"
"Maybe your big shot is busy figuring out how to run away? They haven't moved in so long. Don't you people from Great Xia have any self-interest?"
"Perhaps that's the case. This Zhou Lin might find this thing disgusting and doesn't want to act. He's so powerful, leaving wouldn't be easy for him."
"Are you from Old Eagle Country trying to sow discord? Whatever you say is true? Your professor can do inhumane things like this, but our professor is not comparable to your kind."
"You're just jealous that Great Xia has such a capable professor. You have nothing; this is naked envy."
"Our big shot is a thoughtful professor. Do you think he's like you? A bunch of idiots who do things even when they know they're wrong? Brainless."
"But what is the big shot doing? Why isn't he acting?"
"That's a good question. I don't know either."
...
In the dean's conference room:
"If Zhou Lin doesn't act soon, these guys will be killed by this thing."
Professor Wen watched the people on the big screen, feeling anxious, but more so suspicious. Why wasn't Zhou Lin acting?
"Zhou Lin has his own plans. He won't let them get hurt, so we shouldn't worry."
Professor Hu said this while looking at the situation beside him, but how could he not worry?
These were all their students.
"Look, what is that?"
One professor thought he was mistaken and asked urgently.
"What what? What did you see?"
"I saw a light appear on that thing. Am I seeing things?"
"You must be mistaken. Perhaps it's a problem with the lighting."
The professors and experts nearby unanimously agreed that the professor was mistaken.
Inside the tomb:
Just as Captain Bai was about to fire, he saw one of the men suddenly convulse. The vomit from their mouths seemed to leak out, flowing down their chins.
The metaphysics professor and Guo Liang felt disgusted at first, then as if they understood something, they exchanged glances subconsciously.
The companions beside them looked at him with suspicion, not quite understanding his behavior.
At this moment—
Zhou Lin suddenly acted, raising a jelly shield to protect the professors, students, and mercenaries.
Then he instantly teleported to their side.
"Zhou Lin, what's going on?"
The metaphysics professor, long accustomed to Zhou Lin's sudden appearances, quickly asked.
"That's the work of that thing. You'll know later."
Zhou Lin pointed to the ground, but when everyone looked in the direction Zhou Lin was pointing, they only saw dark ground, seeing nothing.
This made them even more curious.
Zhou Lin then saw a faint white light moving back and forth. The Lightning Mink instantly stood on one of the creatures.
With its sharp claws, it dug out the eyes of these creatures one by one and released its lightning, which coursed through their bodies.
In a short while, the creature fell to the ground, its flesh beginning to rot, leaving only a greenish skeletal frame.
It lay on the ground, motionless.
The creatures beside it were now terrified. They understood very well what this situation meant.
They subconsciously looked at Zhou Lin, who had appeared among them at some unknown time, their eyes filled with rage.
"What did you do to us?"
One of the creatures glared at Zhou Lin, as if ready to attack at any moment.
Zhou Lin then realized why the Lightning Mink had been deployed. This creature's fur was similar to a chameleon's, and it could hide in the darkness.
Only when it acted was there a faint lightning-like movement.
It was a master of surprise attacks. It had to be said, this creature was the best weapon, silently eliminating enemies.
"You can be invisible, and we can't? If you want to know why, go find out for yourselves, but only if you're still alive."
Zhou Lin sneered.
This action also angered the surrounding creatures. They were now spewing vomit, sticky and foul-smelling substances falling onto the mercenaries and students.
Watching them made them even more nauseous, but they had nothing left in their stomachs to vomit, so they could only stand there retching.
Then, the creatures began to fall to the ground, eventually turning into green skeletons.
Several creatures tried to escape, but lightning appeared behind them.
Zhou Lin had already summoned heavenly thunder. If these guys dared to charge, it would be a dead end.
The netizens watching this scene were going wild.
"Haha, the big shot is mighty, the big shot is powerful, awesome."
"They were surrounded just now, now it's their turn to taste being surrounded. Finally, some relief."
"Where are those bastards who were mocking Great Xia earlier? Those losers who said our big shot would leave, open your damn eyes and see clearly who the king is. Do you understand?"
"Exactly, you guys have the worst thinking and comprehension. Do you see clearly? Just your character, what are you? Have you all seen it clearly?"
"Haha, but I'm even more curious. The big shot didn't even act, why did these guys fall one by one? Can someone explain?"
"I didn't see anything, just a lightning-like thing, and then... that was it."
...
Inside the tomb:
Zhou Lin looked at the hesitant creatures, who were glaring at him, a cold smile on his lips.
Damn it, this resentment is finally out.
"Hmph."
Several creatures snorted and vanished from their positions.
No matter how powerful you are, there will be times when you appear. You can't hide in there forever, can you?
