Others sensed it more or less.
Elder Tang sighed:
"This corpse guardian is indeed worthy of being dragon meat, it even has special effects. Thank you, young friend Zhou Lin. Without you, we would never have enjoyed such a luxurious delicacy in our lives."
Zhou Lin put away all the seasonings without looking up:
"One thousand each, transfer it to my account later!"
Gymnastics champion: ...
Taoist priest: ...
Elder Tang: ...
"Pfft!"
The livestream room exploded with laughter.
"Oh my, I can't take it anymore!"
"This is amazing, if Boss Zhou Lin became a comedian, he'd be a huge hit!"
...
After a short rest.
Everyone was full and satisfied, and the security team had already moved the bodies of their two fallen comrades to a safe place.
About another fifteen minutes passed.
The entire archaeological team set off again.
Following the water flow, they discovered that the water continued to flow downwards.
As they walked.
Everyone suddenly saw a cliff.
The cliff was about a hundred meters high, separated from the opposite bank by dozens of meters.
The air was filled with a damp atmosphere.
Around the cliff, the entire archaeological team saw vegetation again!
The sight of vines on the rock walls made everyone's scalp tingle.
However, someone soon discovered that there was a suspended coffin on this damp rock face!
The history professor glanced at the bronze suspended coffin and immediately said:
"This bronze coffin should be at least a thousand years old!"
The Taoist priest narrowed his eyes and said:
"Strange, how could a suspended coffin be supported here? It shouldn't be!"
The Taoist priest explained:
"This area is a sheer cliff. Although there are mountains and water, the terrain here indicates it's a place of a 'Dragon Severing Platform,' one of the most intensely negative energy spots within a dragon vein. If a coffin were placed here, the only reason I can think of is that the tomb's owner wanted the coffin's occupant to never find peace in eternal life!"
"But the good news is, we've finally seen a coffin, which means we are getting closer and closer to the main tomb!"
Elder Tang also nodded and said:
"Well said. We have endured hardships and finally arrived here with everyone's help. I hope we can uncover the true secret of this ancient tomb and restore the severed history of Great Xia."
At this moment.
Zhou Lin, who had finished eating and was resting with his eyes closed, once again received a system reward.
Ding
[Congratulations to the host for receiving a reward of 150,000. The host can now activate the high-level lottery mode, with each draw costing 50,000 points!]
Zhou Lin thought for a moment, as there weren't many ways to use his points now, he said:
"Draw!"
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a high-end reward: Whispers of the Evil God!]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a high-end reward: Divine Guiding Lamp!]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a high-end reward: Nether Candle Flame!]
Just after the draw.
The Taoist priest squinted at the cliff and then looked horrified:
"No, something is wrong here, there's something at the bottom of this cliff!"
Elder Tang and the others looked at the cliff simultaneously.
They saw nothing.
At this moment, the architecture professor pondered:
"This cliff has been covered in moss for thousands of years and is incredibly smooth. Even if there's something there, it can't climb up. Besides, the air here is damp, so it's normal for some creatures to be present!"
Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest shook his head vigorously:
"Don't you smell a scent of blood?"
Saying that, the Taoist priest took out his divination tools and cast a hexagram!
Upon looking at the hexagram!
The Taoist priest almost dropped his tools.
Elder Tang and the history professor asked simultaneously:
"What's wrong?"
The Taoist priest's face was now ashen. Although the crises they had encountered before were all life-or-death situations, never before had the Taoist priest looked so terrified.
Sweat dripped from the Taoist priest's forehead involuntarily.
He coughed tremblingly, then clutched his chest, and forced a smile that was more like a grimace:
"Um, if we turn back now, is it still possible?"
"The divination shows that the cliff ahead is extremely ominous. If there's no solution, we will all die! Look!"
The Taoist priest pointed to a spot.
Under the illumination of the lights, a colossal track resembling a slide appeared.
"What in the world is this? This thing is at least hundreds of meters in size!"
The slide was enormous, looking somewhat like a waterslide.
Seeing this, everyone gasped.
Moreover, this slide appeared to be frequently used, and there was a fresh scent on it.
Everyone carefully sniffed the air.
The security team members hesitated:
"I smell it!"
Others immediately responded:
"I smell it too!"
All the security team members immediately readied their weapons.
This was a cliff, with an extremely open area around it. If there were any creatures, they could only emerge from the cliff or from the coffin on its side!
The relaxed hearts of everyone instantly tensed up again.
The viewers also watched this scene with immense shock.
Under the special zoom of the camera.
"Holy crap, what kind of monster lives at the bottom of this cliff? This slide is making my heart race, what's going on!"
"If I were part of the archaeological team, I'd want to go back right now!"
"Damn it, just looking at it is terrifying. There's something down there, is this really archaeology, or is it just a suicide mission!"
...
However.
Just as everyone was panicking.
They heard a strange sound emanating from the bottom of the cliff.
The sound was somewhat like a goat's bleat.
And somewhat like the ripples produced when a person touches water.
As soon as the sound reached their ears, it made people instinctively cover their ears.
The Taoist priest's face turned pale again: "This is a sonic wave!"
The Olympic champion cursed:
"Damn it, this thing plays dirty tactics! Come out quickly, I'll fight you!"
As if to respond to the Olympic champion's words.
The area at the bottom of the cliff began to emit sounds.
Like the sound of a fighter jet taking off.
An increasingly loud noise roared towards their location.
"Prepare for battle!"
The security captain, without needing to be commanded, roared!
*Crack!*
The security team revealed their trump card, the mortar!
The gymnastics champion glanced at it, his eyes lighting up:
"Good heavens, we have a chance this time!"
The wilderness survival expert let out a sigh of relief at the sight:
"We're safe. What kind of monster in this day and age can withstand a mortar? If it's not enough, another shot will do!"
The gymnastics champion was surprised:
"How many years have you been in the wild? Haven't you encountered any incredibly powerful monsters?"
The wilderness survival expert shrugged:
"No matter how powerful a monster is, even if machine guns can't kill it, a few mortar shells will finish it off!"
At this point, the biologist also said:
"Indeed. We once encountered a prehistoric whale while researching at the bottom of the sea. That whale weighed at least a thousand tons. When it attacked us, we used weapons similar to mortars, and it was shattered with one hit. No matter how strong these creatures are, they are still biological. Facing humanity's ultimate weapons, they are still lacking!"
Everyone heard this and thought it made sense.
Only Zhou Lin coughed and said:
"Brothers, is it really appropriate for you to be bragging here!"
*Pfft*
