Professor Lin was panting, looking at the powder in front of him with confusion.
"This is my research. I obtained this poison from the creatures in the eyes. I developed it with Professor Sheng Wu. I was worried there might be danger this time, so I brought it out. I didn't expect it to be useful."
The Xuanxue Professor felt a sense of relief. Fortunately, he had brought it.
"Is it useful? These creatures look so formidable."
Professor Lin was still a little uneasy. Could this thing actually work on them?
"Nonsense. If bullets can control things, this definitely can."
The Xuanxue Professor said with great confidence.
"Is that true?"
Elder Tang also began to feel doubtful.
Just as the two held their doubts, one of the centipedes was approaching them.
Upon contact with the powder, these centipedes suddenly fell to the ground, motionless, with wisps of green smoke rising from their bodies.
"Oh my, it really works! That's wonderful!"
Professor Lin was instantly overjoyed.
He then looked at the Xuanxue Professor.
"What are you doing? I didn't bring much."
The Xuanxue Professor knew what he was thinking with just a glance.
"Are you going to watch the other team members get hurt? Hurry and take it out."
Professor Lin, with the demeanor of a bandit leader, moved to snatch it.
"No, if we all stand here, aren't we just waiting to die?"
The Xuanxue Professor hadn't forgotten about the giant centipede. What about the ones on the ground?
"We still have to take it out. Even if they're drawing fire, you have to give them something for self-defense. Are you going to watch them die?"
Elder Tang said, stepping forward to help snatch the porcelain bottles from him.
Seeing their actions, the Xuanxue Professor knew he couldn't keep them, so he reluctantly took out all the porcelain bottles he had.
"You guys come here, quickly."
Professor Lin shouted to the archaeology team members.
Being chased, the team members hurried to the professors' side.
"Stay right here and don't wander off. We will draw their fire. You just need to deal with the giant centipede."
One of the team members, panting, looked at the three professors.
The three were deeply touched.
"Take this. Protect yourselves."
Professor Lin handed them the porcelain bottles.
The team members lightly sprinkled the powder in their hands, and then saw the centipedes heading towards the opposing archaeology team members.
"Here they come, run!"
"Come on, let's see who's faster, you or me..."
"Haha, let's have a race, see who can dodge these bugs."
Upon seeing the centipedes, the archaeology team members started running.
Perhaps it was due to eating the giant three-headed snake, they felt energized.
The centipedes began their attack.
The mercenaries pulled out their grenades and threw them intermittently.
Seeing the centipedes, which seemed to be inexhaustible, being blown to pieces like blooming flowers the moment the grenades were thrown.
The centipede king, seeing its offspring perish so miserably, was filled with rage. Its thick tail swung towards Captain Lin and the others.
The netizens, watching the group scatter and flee in disarray, were dazzled and didn't know where to focus.
They could only watch with concern as they were chased by the centipedes.
"Oh my god, who was that? They almost got caught by that thing, it's terrifying."
"Damn it, this is bad. The centipede king's tail is coming! What will happen if they get hit by that?"
"But what can they do now? Captain Lin and the others are trapped between a wolf and a tiger, they can't get out."
"I can't watch anymore. Are we just going to watch them die? If this goes on, the entire mercenary group will be wiped out."
"Oh dear, someone save us!"
In the dean's conference room.
Everyone watched as a giant tail was about to descend upon the mercenaries. If it fell, it would be over...
"Where's Zhou Lin? If he doesn't act now, it'll be too late."
Professor Hu, watching the scene unfold, was extremely anxious and could only sit there, fretting.
"Trust Zhou Lin. That kid likes excitement. He'll be here soon."
The dean spoke, unsure if he was talking to himself or others, but they had no other choice but to trust Zhou Lin. There was no other way out.
Hearing this, everyone felt it made some sense, but their hearts couldn't take it. The situation was just too intensely stimulating.
Inside the tomb.
"Captain, it's coming from above."
One of the mercenaries urgently reported the situation.
"Brothers, hold the line, draw their fire. This will give the archaeology team more time and hope. Even if we die, we will die before the archaeology team."
Captain Lin, seeing the situation, had a look of determination in his eyes, his gun continuously firing.
Less than a meter away from Captain Lin and the others, the giant tail stopped abruptly in mid-air, not falling for a long time.
Captain Lin and the other mercenaries, not feeling any impact, curiously looked up. The moment they did, they froze.
A familiar rope appeared before their eyes. Captain Lin and the others' hearts instantly lit up with joy.
This is...
"Professor Zhou Lin."
The mercenaries shouted with delight.
Zhou Lin, holding a whip, was forcefully pulling at the centipede king's tail.
"Centipede King, your enemy is me."
Zhou Lin then exerted a slight force, and the entire tail of the centipede was pulled aside by Zhou Lin's whip.
The centipede king didn't expect a human to have such strength. It then prepared to attack Zhou Lin with its venomous mandibles.
Zhou Lin then released his grip, exerting a slight force with his feet, and took out a dark gold staff from his bag, meeting the attack head-on.
Elder Tang, Professor Lin, and the Xuanxue Professor stood within their circle, looking up at Zhou Lin and the centipede king.
Their eyes were filled with shock as they watched Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin used all his might. Just as he was about to strike the centipede king, the centipede king seemed to sense something and quickly turned its head.
Then, Zhou Lin's staff heavily struck the ground, creating a deep pit and shattering the floor tiles. Broken bricks flew everywhere.
Zhou Lin was also slightly surprised. This staff was so powerful. If it had landed a hit...
