"Explain to me, what is going on here? Why is this happening?"
"Who knows what's going on?"
...
In the pond.
These black hairs began to approach the mercenaries, but among these flowing hairs, a cold glint flashed.
"Be careful, there are knives in here."
Captain Lin had just finished speaking, and with a flourish of his wrist, he severed the hair. But the moment the hair fell, the sound of cold weapons dropping was heard.
Everyone cursed their treachery under their breath and began to hack at the hairs with their daggers.
Zhou Lin, holding a bow and arrow, started shooting towards the opposite side.
Boom—
The black hair of these skeletons protected them, and the dense black hair formed a deep pit.
But it was instantly replaced by new hair.
At this moment—
"Wuwuwu, help..."
One of the archaeology team members watched as the severed hair on the ground suddenly whipped towards his face.
His nose and mouth were surrounded by the hair, and he began to have difficulty breathing.
That familiar feeling of suffocation returned.
His teammates, seeing this, rushed forward to help, but no matter how they pulled, they couldn't dislodge it.
Then, they saw the hair beginning to grow wildly.
"Wuwu... help me."
The archaeology team member felt his breathing becoming more and more difficult and could only cry out for help.
But his teammates, looking at the hair, began to feel fear.
Just as they stepped forward to deal with the hair, they found it attacking their arms.
For a moment, no one dared to step forward to help.
They could only watch helplessly as the hair surrounded their companion and began to shrink its scope...
There was also the sound of bones breaking.
"No... wuwu... wuw..."
The archaeology team member could only whimper silently, then watched as blood dripped from beneath the black hair, only to be instantly absorbed into it.
"Captain, don't cut the hair, this hair eats people!"
The archaeology team member looked at Captain Lin and the mercenary team members in terror.
They watched their teammate die before their eyes, utterly powerless, and their inner panic could no longer be contained.
"What do we do? This hair eats people, we're going to die."
Seeing the scene before them, the archaeology team member's heart began to churn with unease.
"Don't be nervous, it'll be fine."
Captain Lin looked at the mass of hair behind him, and though he felt just as uneasy, he couldn't show it.
Zhou Lin's ears twitched slightly, and he turned to look. He saw the hair behind him beginning to move. Zhou Lin glanced at the electronic display.
There was a flamethrower on it.
It covered a wide area and was the best weapon against this kind of hair.
Zhou Lin looked at the flamethrower in front of him and exchanged for it without hesitation. His points were sufficient for the exchange anyway, and a small flamethrower wouldn't be a problem.
Then, he saw a flamethrower appear in the backpack on the electronic display.
Zhou Lin sneered and enlarged his spatial flow bead several times. Since he was going to burn this hair, he would burn it completely. It would be troublesome if any problems were left behind.
"Come here, stand behind me, and I'll show you what it means to wipe them all out."
Zhou Lin said, and the mercenaries and archaeology team members behind him quickly moved towards him.
They saw Zhou Lin, as if performing magic, pull a flamethrower from his bag.
Then, he aimed it at the hair that was about to attack them and sprayed.
Flames erupted in large quantities, igniting the hair. The flames instantly surged towards the skeletons.
The temperature also rose significantly compared to before.
Captain Lin and the rest of the archaeology team watched as the flames flowed towards the skeletons, their hearts filled with surprise and a sense of vindication.
Awesome.
They dared to bully them earlier, and now they were set ablaze.
"Ah..."
The skeletons' hair was set ablaze, emitting intense heat, and they let out painful screams.
The female ghost and male ghost floating in the water looked at Zhou Lin, their eyes filled with shock.
Zhou Lin ignored the skeletons and looked at the man and woman in front of him.
It was time to deal with this trash after playing enough.
He then drew his bow and shot at the two of them.
The female ghost saw the golden light of the attack coming and was about to move, but found herself unable to.
"I forgot to tell you, I'm in control of this spatial flow. You are now within my space, and you will do as I wish."
As the female ghost was looking suspiciously, she heard Zhou Lin's voice.
The man and woman were startled, their hearts sinking, and they struggled to leave.
But no matter how they struggled, it was in vain. They could only look on in fear as Zhou Lin's arrows flew towards them.
"No..."
The female ghost screamed and watched as her and the man's stomachs were pierced by the arrows.
And there was a large hole in the middle.
The two ghosts looked down at their bodies, then let out a roar of anger before slowly disappearing.
On the shore, Old Tang and Professor Lin watched the fire erupt in the water. They exchanged glances, both filled with shock.
What was going on?
How could there be a fire in the water? Were they blind or seeing ghosts?
Behind the raging fire, there were screams, both male and female.
The entire space was filled with shrill cries.
Everyone's hearts sank.
Their faces became even more grim.
"Old Tang, will Professor Zhou Lin and the others be alright?"
The mercenaries behind them looked at the reflection of the fire in the water, their hearts filled with dread, and asked Old Tang uncertainly.
"I... I'm not entirely sure. We should trust Zhou Lin, he'll be fine."
Old Tang felt a pang of worry, but at this point, he could only offer such reassurance.
In the livestream.
"Holy crap, this is the real deal! They can start a fire underwater?"
"Is this about starting a fire? The key is how the fire was started? And those screams just now, that's terrifying, who could handle that?"
"Could it be that the big shot and the mercenaries are in trouble? We don't even know if these two ghosts released that fire."
"Probably not? I heard a female voice, and there aren't any women down there."
"But you can't be sure. This underwater area is their home."
