The archaeological team members, upon seeing the ape, also whispered softly, their gazes tinged with fear.
"No matter what, this thing is not to be trifled with. Should we consider leaving? If we continue like this, we'll all perish here."
Another team member instinctively wanted to retreat, seeing the scene before them, but before they could take a few steps, they saw that many apes had also blocked the exit behind them.
This thing is truly...
At this moment, in the live broadcast room.
"Damn, I've seen apes before, but this is the first time I've seen an ape like this. What kind of ape is this? Spring of ice and fire?"
"What spring of ice and fire? This is a mutated thing, who can stand this? Can anyone explain? What is this thing?"
"It's just an ape, but this ape came out of the tomb, so we haven't seen it before."
"I suddenly have a bold guess. Could these treehouses, so crude, have been made by this ape?"
"Damn, you're right. Apes are so smart, maybe that's how it is. This housing structure doesn't look like modern technology either."
"Holy crap, a smart monkey. I just don't know if it's aggressive."
...
In the dean's conference room.
"This is the first time I've seen a monkey like this? Do you know its name?"
One of the professors looked at the big screen with great surprise, especially at the ape's hands, which were red and blue, truly unique.
"We're saying, you, a biologist, don't know, and we laymen are supposed to know? Who are you asking?"
Professor Wen looked speechlessly at the professors. They were all professors, yet they dared to say they didn't recognize these creatures?
"Biologists don't know everything. I just don't recognize this thing, and its situation is very dangerous."
The biology professor said it was dangerous while looking at the big screen, but he wasn't very worried.
"Why are you saying it so casually? At this time, shouldn't you be worried about the archaeological team?"
Professor Hu also found it speechless, seeing that these apes looked difficult to deal with.
"Have you forgotten? If Professor Zhou knew there was danger, or if he couldn't resolve it, would he have called these things out?"
"So there's no need to worry. Hurry up and download this video, preferably find a clear picture. These things will be added to history and textbooks."
The biology professor had seen it clearly by now, and at least he was very confident in Zhou Lin.
Everyone felt it made sense, and their worries instantly disappeared, mainly because they trusted Zhou Lin.
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin looked at the apes, then glanced at the stunned crowd behind him.
"Brother, do you see it now? These are living beings."
Zhou Lin also looked at the mercenary who had been questioning him earlier, who was now stunned.
He regretted it, alright? This was beyond his comprehension.
"Professor Zhou... I was wrong. Can you send them back? I'm scared just looking at them."
The mercenary couldn't help but cry when he saw the scene before him.
"It's too late. It's easy to invite gods, but hard to send them away."
Zhou Lin said with apparent regret.
"Ah?"
The mercenary was dumbfounded. He had summoned these monkeys so powerfully before, and now he said they couldn't be sent back?
What was going on?
The apes looked at these people, their anger rising, and then they saw the ape in the center suddenly let out a loud roar.
The other apes behind it took a step back, ready to attack.
At this moment—
The apes slammed their hands on the ground, and then the ground suddenly erupted in fierce flames. These flames seemed to have eyes, surging towards the crowd opposite them.
"Ah... holy crap."
"Protect the professors."
Captain Lin saw this and quickly took out a shield, protecting the archaeological team behind him, and instructed them to take the archaeological team to the rear.
But the rear was also surrounded by these monkeys.
"Captain, there are also some behind us, we're surrounded."
The mercenary behind them was shouting a response.
He hurriedly blocked the flames with his shield, and the intense heat caused sweat to bead on their bodies.
"What's going on? Why are the ape's hands red with flames?"
"Then what is that blue one?"
One of the archaeological team members, looking at the scene, asked in shock.
"Don't ask. Let's think about what to do next, or we'll be roasted."
Another member of the archaeological team said anxiously, but shouldn't the most important thing now be how to leave? Otherwise, they would be burned to death.
Old Tang stood behind the shield. The heat was still quite high, but in this situation, he started to feel nervous and could only turn to Zhou Lin for help.
"Professor Zhou, what should we do now?"
"Old Tang, just wait. It won't be hot later."
Zhou Lin watched the flames calmly, as if unaffected.
"Professor Zhou, didn't you say 'don't chicken out, just do it'? Why aren't you going now?"
Professor Lin looked at Zhou Lin's calm demeanor and suddenly remembered when they encountered the beautiful snake. It wasn't like this then; he clearly wasn't afraid.
"Professor Lin, not chickening out depends on the situation. Am I going to my death in this big fire?"
Zhou Lin looked at Professor Lin in disbelief. Had he been scared silly? He could say something like that? This guy was trying to get them killed.
Zhou Lin's words made Professor Lin a little embarrassed. It seemed that was indeed the case.
In the live broadcast room.
"Holy crap, I wondered why the monkey's hands were red. So that's how they're used? They have such abilities?"
"But how long can this shield last? These flames are not small. Won't this shield get very hot? Won't the person holding it be in great pain?"
"I don't know. The way the big boss looks, he doesn't seem very afraid. He should be fine, right?"
"This is interesting. When has our big boss ever been afraid? Ever since he went to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, I haven't seen him afraid. What is fear? In the eyes of the big boss, it's just fleeting clouds."
"Damn, what time is it, and you're still in the mood to say this?"
...
Inside the tomb.
Everyone felt hot and dry, especially the mercenaries holding the shields. Their hands had already started to develop blisters from the heat.
