The metaphysics professor couldn't stand it anymore; the smell was truly unpleasant.
Thinking about what he had just experienced, especially the scene he witnessed, and the vomit on their bodies, made his stomach churn.
"Let's go, we need to get out of here first. You all need to eat something to replenish your energy, otherwise, the road ahead will be difficult."
Zhou Lin saw that their complexions were not good, and they all looked weak and listless, clutching their stomachs and occasionally gagging.
He knew that these students' bodies couldn't withstand the recent vomiting, and their esophagus was likely damaged.
They needed time to recover.
Everyone looked at the dark cave ahead and walked step by step, clutching their stomachs.
"We don't want to eat anything right now. The moment we think about eating... *gag*..."
"Me too. Thinking about that vomit... Oh my god, this is going to kill me. I don't want to eat meat ever again."
"Especially anything with intestines. I don't want to think about it. Don't talk about eating; I don't want to eat anything right now."
As soon as the students thought about food, they clutched their stomachs, their faces turning even paler than before.
Their stomachs were really uncomfortable right now.
Zhou Lin heard them but didn't say much. He indifferently glanced back at the students behind him. "You won't think like that later."
They walked into the dark hole, and the air felt spacious.
"Why do these creatures look so trashy? They're different from what we saw before. I feel like their level is very low."
The metaphysics professor felt that his previous experiences were quite different.
"Wang Canghai was an engineer, not an emperor. How could he have had the money to build such a tomb? Of course, he made the best use of everything and took unconventional paths."
"Even if they're not as advanced as the treasures in imperial tombs, they're still very difficult to deal with. I have to say, he was very cunning."
Zhou Lin felt the same way when he was reading about it.
At least this guy knew how to make the best use of everything.
"That's true, it's just a bit disgusting to look at."
Guo Liang also found these things truly disgusting.
"It's disgusting, but it's effective. It's hard to tell if it's real or fake, but Wang Canghai was a masterful engineer. The Heavenly Palace he built is the best proof. This tomb of ours is probably not going to be easy to enter."
Zhou Lin mainly felt it was too disgusting, not because they couldn't overcome it, but because the visual impact was unbearable.
The netizens heard this and thought it made sense.
"Don't say it, if Professor Guo hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed. It really looks quite crude."
"But what can we say? If there's anything to say, it's that it's disgusting, mainly because it's too disgusting."
"I think the same way. It's just too disgusting. I probably won't be able to eat for several days."
"It's a good way to lose weight, but my stomach really hurts."
...
Inside the tomb.
After walking through the dark hole for about ten minutes, they felt a dampness and heard the sound of rushing water.
Everyone thought they had misheard, but the closer they got, the clearer the sound became. They were convinced they weren't hallucinating.
"Is that the sound of water?"
The metaphysics professor seemed surprised.
"It's the sea, so it's normal to hear water. If there wasn't any water... that would also be normal, but... is this tomb going to collapse? Why is there water?"
Guo Liang seemed to think of something and looked at Zhou Lin and the metaphysics professor with fear.
"You're overthinking it. It's not collapsing. Don't worry."
Zhou Lin saw the fear in Guo Liang's eyes and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
If it were to be flooded, they wouldn't have to wait thousands of years. The tomb would be filled with water in a year; it wouldn't take this long.
Everyone felt a little more at ease upon hearing this and followed Zhou Lin further in.
When they saw a river appear before them, everyone was stunned.
"Is this flowing water? Is this flowing seawater?"
One of the students exclaimed, looking at the scene before them. He took out a flashlight from his body and shone it into the water, revealing several fish swimming back and forth.
Are these saltwater fish?
"This doesn't look like seawater. These fish don't look like saltwater fish, but freshwater fish."
Guo Liang took a few steps closer and saw that the fish were not saltwater fish but freshwater carp. Freshwater?
Freshwater in the sea? How is that possible?
Upon hearing this, everyone was also surprised and moved closer to the water's edge to observe carefully.
Zhou Lin looked at the source of the water, his eyes turning scarlet. He saw a mural at the very top, a stone wall carved with landscapes.
The water was indeed coming from the mural. He had underestimated it.
There were also several fish swimming back and forth. Zhou Lin looked at this and couldn't help but feel that the ancient alchemists were amazing.
Their feng shui arrangements were truly masterful.
They could even achieve such long-distance transportation, all for this underwater tomb. Did the underwater tomb lack water?
Zhou Lin felt a surge of inexplicable helplessness.
It was all for money.
As Zhou Lin was contemplating, the people around him and the netizens were filled with curiosity.
"Professor, is this water poisonous?"
One of the students was looking at Guo Liang.
After all, Guo Liang was an expert in marine biology. If these creatures were safe, it should be fine.
"These are carp, and it's freshwater. It won't be poisonous. Why are you asking?"
Guo Liang first scooped some water with his hand, put it in his mouth, and then spat it out, explaining slowly.
"What else? We want to wash ourselves. We smell like rot. I feel like I'm marinated."
"Yes, me too."
"I also want to wash. Even if I don't wash my clothes, I need to clean myself to feel better."
As the students spoke, they began to take off their clothes.
The student holding the equipment turned the camera away, pointing it towards the wall.
The netizens saw the dark wall.
"So we won't see any fan service? We won't see abs?"
"What can we say? I want to see the boss's abs, okay? Anything else can be ignored."
"But there could be fan service too. Maybe these people have abs too? That would be much better."
"Haha, but we can't see them. We can only imagine."
...
Just as the students were about to enter the water, they were reprimanded.
