The bullets were useless against these giant snakes, but they still caused them some pain. Coupled with being trapped here for thousands of years, their rage was constantly escalating.
"Get out of the way!"
Captain Lin shouted urgently upon seeing the scene.
Zhou Lin watched as the three snake heads lunged at the mercenaries. He then raised his whip and lashed out at their mouths, wrapping it around them in circles.
He tightly secured their mouths.
Several mercenaries were terrified, finding these creatures truly horrifying.
"Captain Lin, you hold this whip and hold on for a while. I'll go inside to check."
Zhou Lin handed the whip to Captain Lin.
Captain Lin, along with the mercenaries beside him and the archaeological team behind them, each grabbed a part of the whip, controlling the three fierce snake heads.
The snake heads were at least tens of meters high.
Their strength was not to be underestimated. These people, and even Zhou Lin, couldn't compare to them individually, but they had numbers.
Zhou Lin watched the snake heads contort and, with a forceful step, ran towards the rear at his fastest speed.
However, after only a few steps, he heard the voices of the mercenaries and Elder Tang and the others behind him.
"Zhou Lin..."
Zhou Lin looked back upon hearing them and saw them hanging in the air like grapes.
Zhou Lin rushed over, grabbed the other end of the whip, and with a slight pull, lowered everyone down.
Elder Tang, Professor Lin, and the other archaeology team members were extremely panicked.
"Our strength difference is too great. All of us together are no match for you alone."
The metaphysics professor understood their vast disparity in strength and decided it was best not to leave Zhou Lin's side.
"The talismans inside haven't completely disappeared yet, and they still have some restraining effect on these three-headed pythons."
"Since you can't handle it, Captain Lin, please go and check behind these three-headed pythons. See where their tails are? Make sure you see clearly."
Zhou Lin, with no other choice, entrusted the task to Captain Lin.
"Alright, I'll report back as soon as possible."
After Captain Lin spoke, he took his flashlight and moved towards the rear.
The three snake heads were being restrained and, displeased, twisted their necks back and forth, trying to break free from Zhou Lin's grip.
Zhou Lin applied slight pressure with his hands, preventing them from struggling.
Captain Lin hurried to look behind them and saw the snake's body, more than ten meters thick. His heart leaped. This thing was truly...
Damn it, this thing is so thick.
If it swung once, it would probably shatter all the internal organs.
Creak, creak...
As Captain Lin was observing, he heard a strange noise.
The tail of the snake, tens of meters thick, was being held in place by something.
But this dark spike seemed like it could be broken. Captain Lin became even more worried.
He then rushed back towards Zhou Lin.
After only a few steps.
Crack...
Something snapped. Captain Lin looked back upon hearing the sound and saw a dark object hurtling towards him.
"Damn..."
Captain Lin reacted and quickly ducked, feeling a sharp, cold wind flash past him.
He felt a chill down his spine.
"Professor Zhou Lin, get out of the way! Their tails have been freed!"
Captain Lin shouted as he ran.
But it was too late.
The thick tail was already sweeping towards Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin and the others were looking at the three-headed python when they heard Captain Lin's voice.
They all looked and saw something dark and thick, like a club, approaching them.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Lin's bloodline aura surged, and a majestic presence began to rise.
He then released the whip and reached out to control the sweeping tail.
He forcefully stopped the tail, pressing it down firmly, preventing it from getting closer.
"Wow..."
The mercenaries and archaeological team members had been tense watching the extremely thick tail.
Now, seeing Zhou Lin resolve it so easily, they were deeply amazed.
In the live stream.
"Damn, this big shot is incredibly strong, amazing!"
"No, damn it, how did the big shot do that? What kind of strength is that?"
"It was already proven how strong the big shot was when he restrained the three snake heads alone, but seeing it now is just so cool."
"Holy crap, wait, the big shot let go. Where are the snake heads?"
...
The mercenaries behind noticed Zhou Lin had let go and suddenly realized the heads behind them were no longer restrained.
They glanced back.
"This is bad, the snake heads are coming!"
A mercenary suddenly shouted. Everyone looked, their scalps tingling.
"Get down!"
Zhou Lin suddenly roared. Everyone quickly crouched on the ground.
Zhou Lin suddenly released his grip and crouched down, just as the dark tail forcefully swung towards the three heads.
"Roar..."
The three-headed snake was dazed and let out an angry roar.
"Hurry up and run!"
Zhou Lin urged them, seeing they were still crouching.
Elder Tang, Professor Lin, and the others were stunned, not knowing where to run.
"Inside, Professor, inside! The exit is blocked, you can't get out!"
Captain Lin urged them anxiously, seeing they were temporarily safe.
Upon hearing Captain Lin's voice, Elder Tang and the others seemed to have found a lifeline and rushed towards the interior.
Zhou Lin, seeing the three-headed snake dazed, quickly looked at the system and began selecting from the electronic page.
"System, what's a good recommendation for dealing with a three-headed snake?"
Zhou Lin asked urgently.
Then, the page before him changed, displaying various pills.
Below these pills were written the Four Spirits.
Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and other Four Spirits.
"What is this?"
Zhou Lin asked, confused.
[Host, these are the inner cores of the Four Spirits. Your bloodline is special and you can freely fuse or transform into these beings.]
The system's voice slowly transmitted.
Zhou Lin's eyes lit up. With this, wouldn't it be amazing?
But when he looked at the points required, his entire expression fell again.
What did he see?
One inner core required all his points.
Damn, is this thing that powerful? Back to square one!
