Sammer felt a great sense of relief upon seeing Zhou Lin dead, but this was quickly followed by worry. Without Zhou Lin, their only hope was to wait for death.
Now, all their hopes rested on the Xuanxue Professor beside them. Only the Xuanxue Professor could lead them out.
The Xuanxue Professor looked at Sammer, his eyes bloodshot, his anger no longer containable.
"Now that Zhou Lin is dead, are you happy? Sammer, you must be happy. Your grudge has been settled, hasn't it?"
The Xuanxue Professor suddenly shouted.
"What nonsense are you spouting? I would never think that."
Sammer, his thoughts exposed, roared in anger.
"Why are you shouting? Are you guilty? Zhou Lin constantly took from you before, did you feel wronged?"
"So, you all resented Zhou Lin, didn't you? Now that something has happened to Zhou Lin, you must be the happiest!"
The Xuanxue Professor questioned Sammer furiously.
"What nonsense are you talking? No one wanted Zhou Lin to be in trouble. It was unavoidable."
Sammer quickly denied, looking displeased at the Xuanxue Professor.
Bang!
The Xuanxue Professor, extremely agitated, struck him, knocking Sammer down with a punch.
"What is Da Xia trying to do? Zhou Lin deserved to die, why are you hitting us?"
Gale was also furious and began to speak without restraint.
But these words had already provoked the nerves of the Da Xia students.
Their fists clenched, and they immediately attacked Gale.
"Shut up! Professor Zhou Lin saved you, didn't he? You are truly shameless, being saved and still speaking so flippantly. You have no shame."
"Yeah, I can't stand you anymore. Say one more word, and I'll beat you to death."
"Ah..."
Gale cried out as he was beaten.
The mercenaries, seeing this, felt a surge of satisfaction, but they couldn't just watch them get beaten to death.
Seeing that the beating had gone on long enough, they stepped in to stop it.
Just as Captain Bai pulled the Xuanxue Professor away, he heard bubbles starting to appear in the mud.
These bubbles grew larger and denser.
"Professor, look, what is this?"
Captain Bai quickly exclaimed.
Everyone froze at the sound, their gazes fixed on the increasing number of bubbles, all filled with curiosity.
A bad premonition began to surface in their hearts.
This tomb was already eerie, and now with Zhou Lin gone, it was natural for them to feel a sense of dread.
Captain Bai and the other mercenaries raised their weapons, pointing them at the mud.
Then, a black fin emerged from the mud.
At first glance, it resembled a shark's fin in the ocean, as if a shark was swimming in the mud.
Captain Bai immediately opened fire, but the bullets seemed to vanish into the depths, making no sound.
The fin did not stop swimming because of the bullets.
Everyone's hearts grew more tense.
"Professor, what is this thing?"
Captain Bai looked at the Xuanxue Professor, confused, and asked urgently.
"How would I know? I haven't seen it yet, but a shark's fin appearing in this mud is definitely not a good sign."
The Xuanxue Professor replied hastily.
In the live stream.
"Damn, this is outrageous! How can they play like this? This is too much!"
"There are fish in the mud? Is this a legendary sand shark? Can they really do this?"
"It's a shame the expert isn't here, otherwise he would surely know."
"Instead of researching what this thing is, we should think about how to face it later."
"That's a good point. Aren't these fish? Didn't Sammer study marine life? Let's see what this thing is."
"Has Da Xia gone mad? Is this something from the ocean? Is this a marine creature?"
"Exactly, this is at most a tomb creature, there's no doubt about it."
"If you're incompetent, just admit it, don't blame others. It's over, you're useless."
...
Inside the tomb.
Captain Bai watched as one of the fins swam right in front of them, showing no intention of stopping. Curiosity piqued.
Captain Bai took out his dagger and slowly approached the fin.
When he was less than ten meters away, a massive jaw suddenly appeared, opening its bloody maw as if to bite off Captain Bai's hand.
Fortunately, Captain Bai was quick-witted and retracted his hand.
Captain Bai and the surrounding mercenaries were stunned. This was...
Before them appeared a sand shark covered in sand, but its eyes were like those of a venomous snake, its pupils filled with malice.
It looked like a viper poisoned with venom; a single glance sent chills down one's spine.
Captain Bai's hair stood on end.
How could there be sand sharks here?
Everyone was dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on, especially with this sand shark. Anyone who saw it would feel their hair stand on end.
In the live stream.
"Holy crap, what is this? I'm getting goosebumps all over."
"What is this thing? How can there be sand sharks in the mud?"
"What is this thing? This is the first time I've seen such a species, and it can appear in sand, is it that magical?"
Inside the tomb.
All the sand sharks had begun to surface from the sand, watching them menacingly.
"Captain, can we kill this thing?"
One of the mercenaries asked urgently.
"How would I know? But from what we've seen, it seems unlikely. This passage is very narrow, so we have to be careful. If this thing can jump, we'll all become fish food."
Captain Bai lacked confidence. Before, with Zhou Lin around, they felt secure. Now that Zhou Lin was gone, they could only stand here and be bullied.
Just then—
One of the sand sharks suddenly leaped up, its mouth wide open, about to lunge at Captain Bai.
Captain Bai raised his handgun and began shooting at its mouth.
But the bullets hit the sand shark's mouth as if striking bronze and iron, sparks flying.
With one fish appearing, the others also rushed towards the archaeological team.
"Get down."
Captain Bai suddenly roared, and everyone quickly crouched on the ground.
The sand sharks missed their target and retreated back into the mud, occasionally splashing it up.
