His own life was saved by Zhou Lin, so how could he dare to speak? He could only obediently wait to be rescued.
In the live broadcast room.
"Holy crap, there's a mastermind behind this? Even the big shots didn't notice!"
"You people of Great Xia are ridiculous. Your big shot Zhou Lin is just one person. Do you really think he's a god? How could he know everything?"
"You're too funny. If people didn't know, they'd think everyone in Great Xia was a god."
"People from Old Eagle Country, it doesn't matter if the people of Great Xia are gods. What matters is that you people from Old Eagle Country are not human! What are you laughing at us for? Is Old Eagle Country clean? Aren't you just as dirty behind the scenes?"
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just this Samur is enough to make all of you collectively lose face. You covet the treasures of Great Xia. Is this something a human would do?"
"No."
In the Dean's conference room.
The entire conference was silent as everyone watched the big screen.
"So, in the end, it's just dropped? Can't we know the secret of that wall?"
Professor Hu was most concerned about this matter.
"Old man, you don't believe me when I say you're too straightforward. Is this what you should be concerned about now? It's the mastermind. This guy appears and disappears without a trace. He managed to kill this bat in front of Zhou Lin without making a sound."
"This is a potential threat. This thing must be found."
Professor Wen looked at Professor Hu helplessly. This old man's brain wasn't working properly at such a critical moment. Was this how he should understand it?
"Oh, right, right, right. I forgot, I forgot. So the tomb is still in danger?"
Professor Hu slapped his forehead, not arguing with Professor Wen.
The other experts and professors looked displeased upon hearing this.
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin had not withdrawn the shields of the mercenaries and the archaeological team. Instead, he was observing the surroundings.
He keenly noticed that the light in the space was dimming.
If it was described as bright red before, it was now dark red and was gradually approaching black.
As the space grew darker, Captain Bai and the others turned on all their lights, finally seeing the full picture of the interior.
But seeing it was worse than not seeing it.
"Damn..."
Captain Bai couldn't help but curse when he saw what was on the wall.
Everyone was equally shocked. This was not what they had imagined.
Suddenly, a pile of bats appeared before their eyes.
But these bats were different. They looked older than the previous ones, with red wings and skin, and a circle of red fur around their necks.
A swarm of bats was staring at them menacingly.
The students, mercenaries, and professors' hearts tightened upon seeing this.
Didn't they kill those things? Why were there still bats?
Damn it, are they going to let anyone live?
Zhou Lin was already filled with rage, and seeing this situation only made him more furious.
His black and white eyes turned red.
In the live broadcast room.
"How did they appear again? And so silently. It wasn't like this just now."
"Yeah, the light just got a bit dimmer. By the time they turned on the lights, it was less than a minute before these things appeared. It's amazing."
"I'm equally depressed and confused. But what's more confusing now is the big shot. Why does he look even unhappier than before? Why is his anger greater than before?"
"Maybe something happened. The big shot is unhappy."
...
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin looked at the bats beside him, noting that they seemed to have much higher combat power than before.
Zhou Lin took out his Azure Dragon Sword and waved his hand, summoning two Azure Dragons that appeared on his left and right. They looked down with great majesty at the bats opposite them.
However, the bats showed no reaction upon seeing Zhou Lin's Azure Dragons, as if they had expected it.
All the bats' eyes were fixed on Zhou Lin.
"These guys know Zhou Lin's power and want to completely nip him in the bud."
Professor Xuanxue, seeing this, worried for Zhou Lin.
"Professor Zhou Lin hopes for this. It's better for them to face him than us. We're completely dragging him down. All the way here, Professor Zhou Lin has been protecting us."
Captain Bai felt guilty upon hearing this.
At this moment—
Zhou Lin made the first move. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Lin had already decapitated these bats.
In just the time it took to breathe, five heads lay on the ground. The bats' eyes were still glowing when Zhou Lin forever froze them in that moment.
Seeing this, the other bats flapped their wings and charged at Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin sneered.
The Azure Dragons behind him swarmed forward.
Just as they were about to attack the bats, the bead above them emitted a red light.
It protected the bats, forming a shield. The Azure Dragons were unable to approach the bats for a moment.
The collision between the Azure Dragons and the shield created flashes of light blue. Good and evil were clashing.
Zhou Lin stood still, his dark red eyes now showing surprise.
He hadn't expected this shield to be so powerful that even the Azure Dragons couldn't break through it.
Captain Bai, Professor Xuanxue, and the students were all stunned, deeply shocked that even the Azure Dragons couldn't get through.
"Am I hallucinating? How can the Azure Dragons..."
Guo Liang quickly rubbed his eyes.
"It's not your problem. These Azure Dragons are just the sword spirits within the Azure Dragon Sword, not true Azure Dragons."
Professor Xuanxue recalled that Zhou Lin had mentioned before that the Azure Dragon Sword contained dragon souls, not the true bodies of Azure Dragons.
There were so many evil spirits in this world. Even if the Azure Dragons were on the side of justice, the strong evil energy would still affect the righteous energy.
This showed how powerful these bats were, to be able to contend with Zhou Lin's Azure Dragons for so long.
In the live broadcast room.
"Holy crap, what's going on? The Azure Dragons are blocked? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Is this a misunderstanding? This is not a misunderstanding, this is really happening. Our Azure Dragons have been repelled."
"What's the deal with these bats? Why do they have this ability? What's with this shield? Is it like the big shot's? Invulnerable to swords and spears?"
"Get real. These are evil creatures, how can they be like the big shot? But the big shot is at a disadvantage here."
