Not only Elder Tang, but also netizens and the professors and experts from the archaeological institute who were closely watching.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Zhou Lin pressed his palm forcefully into the snowdrift, a spell appearing in his mind, his lips unconsciously beginning to move.
He whispered a spell, and the flames in the snowdrift seemed to come alive, constantly spreading towards the opposite side.
The surrounding areas were also affected, followed by a sizzling sound.
This was the sound of ice and snow melting.
Elder Tang felt his feet getting wet. He first looked down at his feet, and then at the white ice and snow beside him, which had begun to melt.
Beneath the ice and snow were small, pale blue insects. These insects instantly lost their vitality upon contact with the flames, stiffening on the ground.
They remained motionless.
The ice encasing the Wolf King, the biologist, the historian, and the archaeological team began to melt slowly. In a short while, the ice on their bodies had disappeared.
Water dripped from their faces, brows, and dark hair.
Elder Tang watched as the snow before him was instantly dealt with by Zhou Lin's flames.
All the white snow he saw around him had instantly melted...
Elder Tang's pupils constricted, his eyes bulging. Was this a dream?
What kind of flames were these? The flames instantly annihilated them? And it was over just like that?
Holy crap... was this even human?
Elder Tang uttered his first curse word.
Netizens watched with their own eyes as the white snow was dissolved by the great fire, their gazes following intently.
"Holy crap, holy crap, what kind of flames are these? The burning speed of this great fire is incredible, and these big snows just melted like that?"
"Damn, isn't this a dream? How did the big shot do this? I knew the big shot was amazing, but I didn't expect him to be this amazing?"
"By the way, how did these flames do it? How did they spread on their own? And what was the ignition point?"
"It's metaphysics, the big shot is metaphysics. Is this also Taoist magic? My desire to learn Taoist magic is even stronger now."
"No, no, seeing the big shot display such skill, I think even fortune tellers under the overpass are formidable figures."
"Damn, can I apprentice under them right now?"
...
When the dean and the previous professors and experts saw this news, they all felt as if something had punched them hard in the heart.
Everyone was stunned.
They were all worshippers of science, but now, their theories and scientific basis were beginning to crumble.
Could this be explained by science?
Who could explain it?
The entire conference room fell into an eerie silence.
Inside the tomb.
All the security personnel and participants who had been frozen began to move, then slowly opened their eyes, the coldness on their bodies completely disappearing.
"Professor..."
"Professor, are we alright?"
The students from the archaeological team stretched their muscles, a smile of survival on their faces.
They hurriedly looked at Professor Lin and the other professors, expressing their joy.
The Wolf King, historian, biologist, and construction champion stretched their muscles, then looked around, only to see that the white snow from before had disappeared.
Everyone was confused, their gazes falling on Elder Tang, who was stunned opposite them.
At this moment, Elder Tang seemed to be acupunctured, staring blankly at Zhou Lin.
"Elder Tang, where's the snow? Why is it all gone?"
Professor Lin anxiously looked at Elder Tang and asked urgently.
Elder Tang pondered for a moment, then numbly pointed his finger at Zhou Lin opposite him.
At this moment, Zhou Lin's hands were covered in flames, and the points in his mind were constantly swirling.
A richer smile spread across Zhou Lin's face, his eyes filled with excitement.
Seeing Zhou Lin's actions, they, like Elder Tang, stood by his side, then became as if acupunctured, staring at Zhou Lin in disbelief.
Before, the surroundings were a vast expanse of white. Now, where the flames had passed, black earth appeared. On this earth were pale blue insects, which had also turned into stiff corpses.
Twenty minutes later.
Zhou Lin withdrew his hands, looking at the scene before him with satisfaction. He turned to look at Elder Tang behind him, but was surprised to see these people.
"Oh, you're all fine. You're all okay, aren't you? I told you, you should believe me."
Zhou Lin deliberately ignored their stunned expressions and walked directly to Elder Tang's side.
"Elder Tang, this one million... you won't forget it, will you?"
Zhou Lin said with a smile.
Elder Tang looked at Zhou Lin in a daze, his lips trembling several times, before finally managing to regain his voice.
"What was that skill you just had? Was it Taoist magic?"
Elder Tang looked at him in shock.
"Yes, you could say so. This is also the capital of my arrogance. This kind of Taoist magic is called 'Huoshao Lianying' (Fire Burning Consecutive Camps), and it's very difficult to learn. I thought I wouldn't need it, but unexpectedly, I suddenly deeply understood the meaning of 'having many skills is never a burden'."
Zhou Lin said calmly, his eyes filled with indifference as he explained.
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood and felt a surge of curiosity about Taoist magic.
However, the Taoist priest felt his face flush and looked at Zhou Lin speechlessly.
"Fellow Daoist, we are both practitioners. Why did you save Elder Tang and not me? That's quite ungracious."
The Taoist priest, seeing Zhou Lin's skills, naturally felt inferior, but he didn't care about it. After all, he was old, and displaying his Taoist magic now would be very tiring.
Let's forget about it.
"Daoist priest, you're wrong. Elder Tang is very important. I wouldn't let you die. But have you considered the reason why we came here?"
"Don't tell me you're here for historical relics, wanting to contribute to the country. That's what we should do, but after contributing, won't you live? Of course, it's for fifty million."
"Elder Tang is our leader here. If something happens to him, what about our money?"
Zhou Lin, with a look of great righteousness, began to analyze the situation with the Taoist priest.
He spoke with such fervor, showing his great emphasis on money.
The Taoist priest heard this and thought, "Damn, that makes a lot of sense."
"Save him, we must save him. We must save Elder Tang immediately. He is the source of money."
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest immediately stood on the same ground as Zhou Lin.
