As everyone stood there dumbfounded, two people in the group exchanged glances, their eyes alight with excitement.
Tao Tao and Xiang Hanxin clung tightly to the giant iron hammer beneath them, too thrilled to speak.
So, their experience that day wasn't their imagination! There really was a flying giant iron hammer! Professor Qiu didn't believe them, but now the truth was before him, surely he would believe them.
With this thought, they both looked towards Professor Qiu and saw him now sprawled on the giant iron hammer, looking as if he'd seen a ghost.
Soon, the giant iron hammer transported the group out of the primeval forest.
Finding an open space nearby, the giant iron hammer flicked its backside, throwing everyone off. Then, at a visible speed, it began to shrink, and shrink, until it was only about the size of a regular giant iron hammer before it stopped.
Everyone stared, wide-eyed, at the giant iron hammer hovering motionlessly in mid-air, their expressions utterly fantastical.
"This is too magical! Isn't this hammer some kind of divine artifact?! Like those in Xianxia dramas."
Tang Lie gazed at the giant iron hammer, his face full of wonder. He wanted to go closer to examine it, but he didn't dare.
Hearing Tang Lie's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
Tao Tao recalled a TV show he had watched before and said, "You guys, do you think this hammer was sealed in this forest to suppress that giant snake just now? Earlier, by the cliff, I accidentally broke the seal, which is why that big black snake was released?"
Upon hearing this, Professor Qiu, who was at the back of the group, put on his freshly cleaned glasses, pushed through the crowd, and walked up to the giant iron hammer. He squinted, beginning to examine it meticulously.
After a while, he adjusted his glasses and stated, "Everyone, please believe in science. This should be some kind of technological weapon. Please refrain from wild speculation."
The crowd, "......" Does your old self actually believe what you're saying?
Just as the atmosphere grew peculiar, Kang Yue suddenly noticed something and exclaimed in shock, "Wait! Aren't we missing someone?!"
At this, everyone frowned collectively, their gazes instinctively scanning the people around them. After a moment, they finally realized who was absent.
"Where's Sister Li?! She couldn't have not gotten out!"
This statement caused a stir, and everyone's expressions instantly turned serious.
As they were about to say something, they suddenly heard an enraged roar from deep within the forest. It was deafening, instantly capturing their attention.
Everyone's gaze instinctively turned towards the direction they had come from, and then they witnessed a breathtaking, world-shattering scene that stunned them for a hundred years.
In the sky above the depths of the forest, a terrifyingly massive snake head was roaring towards the heavens. Not far from this snake head, a figure stood with a silver sword, suspended by the wind.
Seeing the figure, everyone was stunned. The more they looked, the more familiar the figure seemed.
Remembering something, they exchanged glances and swallowed hard.
After a long pause, Kang Yue, from the group, said with difficulty, "You guys, doesn't that figure look like Sister Li's?"
The crowd, "......"
Just as everyone was still bewildered, the figure in mid-air suddenly moved.
Before everyone could clearly see her action, a silver light flashed before their eyes. The next second, a scarlet rain of blood began to fall from the sky, occasionally accompanied by pieces of flesh.
Witnessing this, everyone was momentarily speechless, standing frozen on the spot, watching the bloody rain.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a heavy object fell behind them.
The group looked over and saw what it was.
It was a monstrous snake head.
As everyone stood dumbfounded, the snake head suddenly opened its massive jaws, attempting to swallow them.
Just as they were in a panic, unsure whether to cry for help or yell "Help!", a silver sword pierced down from above, directly impaling the entire snake head. Immediately afterward, the snake head was engulfed by a dark fire that seemed to appear out of nowhere.
