Zhou Linning could use points to wait for the system's recommendations, saving time searching.
At the next moment, two items appeared on the electronic page: a spray and a small diamond dagger.
Yes, it was a diamond dagger, and it was written as such.
"Why are you giving me a diamond dagger?"
[This was automatically generated by the system. I don't know how to explain it clearly.]
The system said helplessly.
Zhou Lin felt speechless upon hearing this.
But there was no time to think further. He sprayed the mist onto his eyes, then sprayed the mist onto the faces of the mercenaries and students, as well as the equipment.
This way, even netizens could see more clearly.
When everyone looked at the environment opposite them again, they saw a monster adorned with gold and silver, but this monster had a human body and a tail, with a sharp and mean-looking...
Rat?
"Professor Zhou Lin, what is this thing? Why does it look like a rat?"
"Yes, it has a pointed mouth and a sallow complexion. It doesn't look like a good person at all."
Huo Qi and the Professor of Metaphysics whispered to Zhou Lin beside them.
"This is a type of gold-swallowing beast. It's not a rat. When it's full, it will grow larger and heavier."
Zhou Lin sneered at them and then told them.
"Don't make a sound. Pretend you don't see it. I'm going to sneak attack."
Zhou Lin said quietly.
Many students were extremely nervous looking at the creature covered in gold and jewelry.
But the gold-swallowing beast picked up a piece of gold beside it and took a bite, as if it were eating chocolate, chewing it slowly.
Everyone watched this creature in surprise. After it finished eating, another gold ingot appeared on its body.
Everyone who saw this was secretly astonished.
But no one made a sound.
In the live stream.
"Holy crap, is that gold or chocolate? It can eat like that? And what's with this thing? How does it grow more on its body after eating?"
"Oh my god, what is this gold-swallowing beast? Is it a thief? How much is hanging on its body, is it as much as it ate?"
"But I want this gold-swallowing beast. Can it be dealt with?"
"How can such a creature exist? It reminds me of a Pixiu."
"This is worse than a Pixiu."
...
In the dean's conference room.
"What is this? How can this be?"
Professor Hu looked at the professor beside him, waiting for his response.
"This... the Professor of Metaphysics hasn't mentioned it either. This is the first time I've seen something like this."
The professor said with great difficulty.
"Zhou Lin will explain it later, don't worry."
The dean also wanted to know what was going on, but they didn't understand, so they could only wait.
In the tomb.
Zhou Lin looked at the scene before him and took out the items he had previously obtained from the system.
The dagger was shining with diamonds.
Just as the gold-swallowing beast approached one of the students, the student, with a mournful face, was about to speak when Zhou Lin acted first, raising the dagger and stabbing it down.
The Azure Dragon Sword had not been able to harm it before, but this dagger could wound it, which surprised Zhou Lin.
As Zhou Lin was surprised, the gems and gold on the gold-swallowing beast instantly fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Finally, its body began to turn into diamond, and diamonds spread across its body.
"Ah..."
The gold-swallowing beast thus turned into a diamond beast, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Professor Zhou Lin... you this..."
Huo Qi looked at the diamond and found it somewhat strange. What kind of dagger was this? It had such an ability?
"Come out. What's the point of hiding like this?"
Zhou Lin suddenly roared, and a creature with a dragon's head, a horse's body, and hooves like a qilin appeared on the wall. However, its color was not pure, but its size...
It was less than a meter in size.
"Hmph, you're quite capable to be able to see my gold-swallowing beast."
The Pixiu spoke with a childlike voice, its eyes contemptuous, and a hint of malicious smiling.
"Pixiu? Is this a Pixiu?"
Huo Qi whispered to the Professor of Metaphysics.
"In terms of appearance, it is indeed. But why does it seem to lack some majesty?"
The Professor of Metaphysics had research on ancient divine beasts and the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
But why did its eyes look different from what he saw?
And how could this queen have the ability to bring a Pixiu here?
"What Pixiu? The queen and the high priest don't have this ability. Don't insult the Pixiu. This is far from it."
Zhou Lin scoffed upon hearing this.
This was a bootleg, and it was being praised too highly.
"Ah?"
Huo Qi was bewildered. There could be bootlegs?
"Why would a real Pixiu be here? It can swallow all things without excreting. These things are not enough for it to even fill its teeth. Why would it be here?"
Zhou Lin didn't believe that this queen would have this ability. That would be a ghost.
"Then what is it?"
Zuo Lin was confused.
"This is a bootleg, something cultivated through evil arts. It can only achieve eighty percent similarity, but it's definitely not real, and its abilities are not even half of a Pixiu's."
As soon as Zhou Lin finished speaking, he saw the Pixiu's body constantly enlarging, from one meter to five meters.
This scene was limiting its actions, otherwise, it would have grown even larger.
Zhou Lin looked at the situation beside him and seemed to think of something, glancing at the people around him.
"Hide, quickly, hide quickly."
Zhou Lin suddenly said.
The people around were initially bewildered upon seeing this situation. It was Captain Zhao who first hid according to Zhou Lin's instructions.
Huo Qi, the Professor of Metaphysics, Professor Fang, and the others didn't hesitate and followed Captain Zhao.
The people from the Land of Cherry Blossoms hid aside and watched what Zhou Lin would do next.
Zhou Lin then took the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand and thrust it forcefully into the ground.
Immediately after, he saw the imitation Pixiu opposite him opening its mouth wide, and the air in its mouth was surging, as if it were about to suck them in.
Zhou Lin felt a strong suction force constantly pulling them in.
Huo Qi and the other students felt their bodies lean forward, and their black hair was blown back.
Zhou Lin's clothes and black hair danced in the wind, his hand gripping the Azure Dragon Sword tightly.
He was contemplating how to strike next.
In the live stream.
"Damn, does a Pixiu eat like this? Does it suck with its mouth?"
"Why can I only see people? Why haven't the gold and silver treasures moved?"
