He lunged towards a staff member from Eagle Country, his palm piercing through the staff member's shoulder, while his other hand moved towards his neck.
"Zhou Lin, save him!"
Samwell watched as two of his six technical personnel were already dead. What would happen if another one was harmed? How would he explain it to his superiors?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lin flicked his Azure Dragon Sword, summoning two azure dragons. Bu Hua Gu was forced to release the man in his grasp and dodge the dragons. The Eagle Country staff member, thrown to the ground, rolled several times, crying out.
As these black zombies saw someone descend, they were about to attack him, but Captain Bai quickly grabbed the man's feet and pulled him towards their position. Seeing this, Zhou Lin redirected the azure dragons towards the surrounding black zombies. The black zombies felt fear upon seeing the azure dragons, none daring to approach.
Bu Hua Gu, witnessing this, began to grow from its small form to an adult size. Its aura changed, becoming even more potent than before. The surrounding temperature rose, and the walls began to show signs of intense heat.
"Hmm? You're approaching the Han Ba?" Zhou Lin's brows furrowed as he looked at Bu Hua Gu.
Zhou Lin's words struck the Xuanxue Professor like a bomb. "Damn it, Han Ba? What's going on? How are Han Ba appearing everywhere?" The books said they were rare. He had nearly lost his life encountering one before, and now there was another Han Ba here? What was happening?
"What's wrong? Your complexion looks terrible," Guo Liang asked, not understanding.
"This is a Han Ba, the ancestor of zombies. We encountered one before, but I didn't expect there to be another one here. Isn't this going to be deadly?" The Xuanxue Professor's voice trembled upon hearing this news.
The mercenaries, who had been relieved when the azure dragons appeared, were stunned by this shocking revelation. Who could handle this?
In the live stream.
"Holy cow, didn't ancient books say Han Ba were extremely rare? One appearing in thousands of years, but here they're like cabbage!"
"Exactly, why does this thing look so strange? And why is it everywhere?"
"No, seriously, when will this end? Han Ba everywhere!"
"I think ancient people were just poorly informed."
"Are your Great Xia Han Ba very powerful? How do they compare to our vampires?"
"Your Eagle Country vampires aren't even fit to carry their shoes."
"This is the ancestor of zombies, understand? The ancestor."
In the dean's conference room.
"Another Han Ba? Are these things so cheap, appearing on demand?" Professor Wen couldn't believe his eyes, looking at the big screen with surprise.
"Perhaps this thing is just a Han Ba?" Professor Hu found it hard to believe.
"It's not a Han Ba, but it's close. Zhou Lin said that before. Also, this looks odd. How can the body of a Han Ba change? It looks out of place here." The dean was puzzled. How could this thing perform bone shrinking techniques? Was this an ancient martial art?
"Perhaps this thing is more powerful than we think," Professor Wen felt the situation was more complex than he imagined.
"Never mind, let's see how Zhou Lin handles it later. If he can solve it, then it's solvable." Professor Hu had great faith in Zhou Lin.
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin looked at Bu Hua Gu and flashed forward. A large axe, at least a meter long, appeared in his hand. The sudden appearance of the axe startled everyone.
"Roar."
Bu Hua Gu's killing intent intensified as Zhou Lin approached. Its pure white hands sharpened their nails into blades and lunged towards Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin didn't expect the creature to attack so quickly. He brought the axe up to block, and a bolt of lightning shot out along Bu Hua Gu's arm.
Lightning flashed across Bu Hua Gu's body. Seeing this, Zhou Lin smirked, raised his axe high, and swung it down at Bu Hua Gu.
Clang...
A loud, harsh sound echoed, as if striking something incredibly hard. Zhou Lin's hand trembled. He saw a crack on Bu Hua Gu's body, with lightning still coursing through it, but it only caused minor damage.
Zhou Lin cursed in frustration. "Damn it, System, you took all the points, what's with this effect?"
"Host, please don't rush, just wait patiently." The System's voice faded, and there was no further response.
The mercenaries, professors, and Samwell behind him were all astonished by the axe Zhou Lin conjured as if by magic. What was going on? But they were filled with hope. If Zhou Lin took action, could he solve this?
In the live stream.
"Holy crap, our big shot! That axe has lightning on it! What kind of axe is that?"
"Is this a legendary conductive axe? But why is it ineffective?"
"Your Great Xia weapons look impressive, but they seem useless."
"Yeah, weren't they supposed to be amazing? Why is this Han Ba unaffected?"
"You guys shut up. If you can do it, you go ahead. Don't just blabber."
"Exactly, all you have is a mouth, and it's so venomous."
"Damn it, aren't your Great Xia mouths just as toxic?"
"Motherfucker, are you bullying us because we can't talk back?"
"Brothers, attack him."
...
Bu Hua Gu felt a tingling sensation all over its body, but nothing more. After a moment of surprise, it understood and lunged at Zhou Lin. Its speed was faster than before, and its weapon was wielded with great skill, its attacks becoming much more ferocious.
Zhou Lin was no slower. The black and white figures darted back and forth in the side chamber, their movements incredibly fast. Only two figures were constantly chasing each other. The onlookers' eyes blurred, unable to pinpoint their exact location.
"Professor Zhou Lin's speed is even faster than before."
"Yeah, it feels like Professor Zhou Lin is different from before."
"The only thing unchanged is Professor Zhou Lin's determination to get rich." The students of Great Xia began to discuss.
