"This... this can still be played like this?"
Why didn't they say earlier that this thing needed to be upgraded? What were they thinking?
"Do I need points to upgrade?"
Zhou Lin was so angry he was jumping up and down. This system was just greedy, constantly devouring his points. It was infuriating.
And he couldn't refuse it.
Zhou Lin's attack was temporarily ineffective. The High Priest watched as the four Yakshas remained still. He muttered something unintelligible, and the four Yakshas began to move again.
The forks in their hands stabbed towards the archaeological team.
"Ah... run!"
Huo Qi saw that the situation was not good. He had no mood to ask Zhou Lin about what happened next, only thinking about saving his own life.
The crowd immediately scattered, running around in panic.
The High Priest watched these people flee in all directions, her heart stirred, but with mockery.
"Your people are pathetic."
Zhou Lin was still arguing with the system, his mood already sour. No amount of money could restore his previous state of mind.
But this High Priest dared to cause trouble...
Damn it, if I don't curse you a few times, I'll really feel upset.
"What kind of methods are those? You were all raised by people with twisted minds since you were young. How can you be capable? Look at what you've been through."
"We are different. Mother's love, father's love, family, friendship, love – they are indispensable. What do you have? You're not even that loyal to your master."
Every word Zhou Lin spoke struck the High Priest's heart.
The High Priest's heart sank, her gaze turned hostile.
"You... you're talking nonsense."
The High Priest continued to babble.
"Am I talking nonsense? Dare you say you have no selfish motives? How could the Queen be willing to give up her power? How could she be willing to die? You actually had a way to restore the Queen's life, but you didn't do it."
"You think you're loyal?"
After speaking, Zhou Lin inwardly wrestled with the system.
"Alright, I'll upgrade. How long will it take?"
Zhou Lin said urgently.
[Ding, please wait quietly for ten minutes, host.]
"Hurry up! The archaeological team is waiting for me to save them right now."
When Zhou Lin heard ten minutes, and half of his points were gone, his face became even more grim.
The main thing was that half of his points were gone just like that. Was this for the scepter's upgrade or the entire system's upgrade?
At this moment, in the livestream.
"Holy crap, Professor, run! Don't go there! There's another evil spirit there!"
"What are you yelling about? You can say whatever you want, they won't see it."
"Exactly, you're making me so excited, and now I can only watch them run around. Aren't you excited?"
"What should we do? There are evil spirits on all four sides. How can we play this game?"
"Is this a game? What should we do? Why hasn't Professor Zhou Lin made a move yet? Do they still want money at this time? You Great Xia can't go too far!"
"Exactly, exactly."
"Are you people from Sakura Country sick? Is this about money? That's Great God Zhou Lin communicating. Are you deaf?"
"Let's not argue at this time. Let's quickly think of a way to solve this thing."
...
In the Dean's conference room.
"Is this an evil spirit, or a Yaksha? Is this a creature from hell?"
Professor Hu looked at the big screen in disbelief.
One of the professors took out his laptop and began to investigate the information.
"This is a Yaksha from hell. It is said to be a guardian envoy of hell, but who it guards is still unknown. We've only heard of this thing."
The professor began to explain the situation.
"This is a Yaksha? A hell Yaksha? What's going on?"
When the Dean heard it was from hell, he couldn't help but feel that this thing must be very troublesome.
"That's what the higher-ups say, but we're not entirely sure if this thing is the Yaksha we know. Dean, does a High Priest really have the ability to summon an envoy from hell?"
The professor beside him voiced his doubts.
Upon hearing this, everyone froze. If it were the Queen, it might make sense, but this...
This is really... hard to say.
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin was waiting for the scepter to upgrade. He saw these Yakshas approaching the archaeological team.
Then he flicked his whip, binding the four Yakshas together to prevent them from harming the professors.
These archaeologists and mercenaries were surrounded by the four Yakshas with their forks, forming a cage, squeezing them together.
"It's over..."
Huo Qi looked at himself being trapped, his face turning pale. He really couldn't escape now.
The Yakshas were over ten meters tall, and their weapons were at least five or six meters long. How could they deal with this?
This was going to be the death of them!
Fortunately, Zhou Lin had bound them, preventing them from moving for the time being.
He couldn't help but feel nervous.
Zhou Lin took a few steps back, pulling the four Yakshas with him.
The High Priest saw this and waved her scepter again. A bolt of lightning struck Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin felt the danger and easily dodged it.
Then he looked at the High Priest.
"You old hag, just you wait. Don't think I won't touch you just because you're a woman. I'll let you taste what it's like to be struck by lightning later."
Zhou Lin applied a little force with his hand and flung the four Yakshas away, right towards the High Priest.
Bang!!
The High Priest saw the Yakshas coming towards her and suddenly leaped into the air.
Only a faint afterimage remained where her feet had been.
The Yakshas were thrown to the ground, overturning the coffin.
Zhou Lin quickly went to the archaeological team and dealt with the forks.
"Zhou Lin, what's going on? Why can't you beat this thing anymore?"
Huo Qi was confused.
"It's not that I can't beat it, I'm just waiting for the right moment. You just need to protect yourselves."
Zhou Lin didn't want to explain too much and urged them to leave quickly.
Upon hearing this, everyone ran towards the entrance.
With Yakshas inside, it was best to leave quickly, otherwise Zhou Lin wouldn't be able to fight freely.
The High Priest saw them about to leave and quickly made her move, standing at the entrance first and closing the stone door.
Captain Zhao took out his weapon and attacked her, but it was useless.
The High Priest waved her scepter, and many lightning bolts appeared, attacking them.
[Ding, upgrade successful.]
The system's voice appeared in Zhou Lin's mind.
Finally, it arrived.
Zhou Lin rejoiced and took out the scepter again.
In the livestream.
"Holy crap, this situation is not good! Aren't they going to kill the professors?"
"Great God, save us!"
"Why did Great God take out that scepter again? It didn't seem very useful before."
"Yeah, it didn't seem very useful."
