"I have drums like these too, but I don't have the skill of the big boss."
"Oh, so handsome! This solidifies my resolve to marry the big boss. No one can compare. This is the kind of man I like, the man I want the most."
"Ah... don't snatch! This is my man. No one is allowed to take him away."
"Hey, have you no shame? This is my man. No one is allowed to take him away."
"Then you are mistaken. You cannot take the big boss away. This is beyond doubt."
Meanwhile, overseas.
Eagle Country:
"OMG, this Zhou Lin is really not to be underestimated. Such skill is indeed uncommon. No wonder Professor Summer wasn't his match."
"Hmph, such a powerful person, why didn't he protect the professor better? What does this mean?"
"I think so too. With such great ability, couldn't our professor be saved? It's ridiculous. They just didn't want to save him. This is despicable. Is your Great Xia doing this on purpose?"
Sakura Country:
"Now do you Eagle Country people know Zhou Lin's true colors? Our Sakura Country has always been at a disadvantage, yet you guys used to make sarcastic remarks."
"Now you know how powerful Zhou Lin is, right? This kind of person is cold-blooded and doesn't help those in need. No wonder our Anbei family harbored murderous intent towards Zhou Lin."
"That's true, but I absolutely believe this novelist from Great Xia is not simple. He just wants to use the things in this tomb to eliminate his enemies. It's truly terrifying."
Great Han Ming Country.
"The novelist is so powerful, he can even save people with sound waves, but why couldn't he rescue the Eagle Country's professor and technicians? What's going on? Is it deliberate?"
"This is deliberately damaging friendly relations between two countries. This novelist is just looking for trouble. Even as a bystander, I think this person has malicious intentions."
"The person upstairs is right. It's exactly like that. Our Great Han Ming Country is a nation that advocates peace, and many citizens are law-abiding citizens."
Great Xia:
"Are you Eagle Country people bored? Have you heard a saying? Good advice is hard to persuade a damned ghost. That was your professor's own doing. Whether Great Xia wants to save them is your own business, what does it have to do with you? It's a personal choice, no one can force it. You're not good people either, you thief."
"To Sakura Country, I want to remind you, it was your Anbei family who made the first move against our Great Xia. But you suffered greatly. Who can you blame for your own shame? Knowing Great Xia is powerful, you still rushed forward? That's idiotic behavior, but the idiots are still holding a grudge. Isn't that laughable?"
"As bystanders, you netizens from Great Han Ming Country should know your place. What is your status? It's one thing for those two flies to complain, but what about you? Did someone die? Or did you become idiots? You have nothing, so why are you making noise?"
Following this, the four countries began their customary competition.
At this moment, the disciples of the Chu Ma sect in Great Xia were overwhelmed with work.
The phones were ringing off the hook.
"What's going on? Why are they all calling me? They never call this frequently usually. And they're telling me I must bring the Wen Wang whip and the Shaman drum."
One of the Chu Ma disciples was bewildered.
"It must be him who stirred things up."
The person next to him was watching Zhou Lin's video and showed it to the Chu Ma disciple.
Finally, the disciple's mouth twitched, and he understood the source of the matter.
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin walked over to the archaeological team and the professors and removed the jelly-like shield.
"Let's get out of here first. This is not a place to talk."
Zhou Lin led everyone out of that space. The previously sealed wall could now be broken through again.
Everyone followed behind, marveling at the miraculous nature of this thing.
"Zhou Lin, that drum just now... what was that?"
The metaphysics professor anxiously asked as soon as they were out.
"This is a Shaman drum. This is also the Wen Wang whip. They are used in another method of cultivation. But these are genuine articles. The other items are merely similar in appearance, mere imitations of drums and whips."
Zhou Lin explained calmly and then put his items back into his spatial storage.
The crowd didn't fully understand but nodded as if they did.
At this moment—
One of the students was looking at the wall nearby. There were still many markings on it, but these markings looked like patterns.
"Look, what is this?"
One of the students exclaimed in surprise, looking at the wall.
Everyone looked in the direction of their gaze and picked up their flashlights to examine it closely.
On the wall was a bat pattern, and a person.
"This was deliberately carved, but the technique looks very unskillful. It doesn't look like human carving, more like it was drawn very casually."
The metaphysics professor looked at the markings, which were completely different from the houses built by skilled craftsmen he had seen before.
This looked much sloppier.
"This was carved by that old bat king."
Zhou Lin glanced at it briefly and stated calmly.
It depicted a person talking with a bat, with a cliff as the background. Then, these bats came here and finally settled here.
And there was even a separately designated space.
This was the situation with these bats, which explained why they had wanted to leave earlier.
"But why would the bats agree to this? Isn't the outside world better than this place?"
The metaphysics professor was confused. Why would this be the case?
"Perhaps there is some unspeakable secret, otherwise, why would they agree to come here?"
Guo Liang was perplexed.
"What could be more comfortable than being outside? This tomb is certainly stable, but..."
Captain Bai stopped midway, suddenly realizing the bat's situation. It seemed that bats lived in dark and humid air, and this tomb was indeed the best choice.
Who would be foolish enough to not want this environment?
"There is a price to pay for being here."
Zhou Lin looked at the wall, as if he had figured something out.
"What price?"
The metaphysics professor looked at Zhou Lin eagerly.
"Don't you feel anything different about this tomb?"
Zhou Lin looked at Guo Liang playfully.
Guo Liang was stunned at first, then shook his head.
"No, what could be wrong?"
Guo Liang was eager to know the answer.
"You want to know?"
Zhou Lin revealed a smile.
The metaphysics professor seemed to understand something.
