The historians looked at the things attached to the women's legs, which were red and connected to their abdomens...
Before, they had thought they were tied up, but they hadn't expected them to be hanging from their stomachs.
Everyone looked in the direction of the historians' gazes and happened to see such a scene.
Instantly, they were all terrified.
"Is that... an umbilical cord?"
When the biologist saw the scene before him, he felt utterly dreadful.
This was an umbilical cord...
A birthing mother?
Hearing this, the Taoist priest suddenly recalled what his master had said when he was learning Taoist arts.
In this world, the most terrifying thing was a woman's resentment, especially a pregnant woman. Once someone harmed her child, there would be dire consequences...
Thinking of this, the Taoist priest shivered uncontrollably, his face more terrifying than that of someone dead for three days.
"This is bad..."
The Taoist priest nervously uttered this sentence.
Seeing this, the Wolf King instinctively reached for his dagger, feeling a sense of security only with it. Then he remembered that his dagger had been destroyed when he sparred with Cao Hao.
He felt even more uneasy than before.
"What's going on? Why are these female corpses hanging upside down? Is it because of their stomachs, or something else?"
The architectural champion kept leaning back, wishing he could stick to the wall, his eyes full of terror as he looked at the scene, extremely uneasy.
Zhou Lin stood in front of everyone, catching sight of the abnormality on these women.
His expression was solemn, but it vanished in an instant.
Meanwhile, the viewers in the livestream.
"Holy crap, am I seeing things? I thought they were hanging, but I didn't expect they did it on purpose?"
"What is that thing? What's on their stomachs? Why is there blood?"
"That's an umbilical cord. I'm an obstetrician, and I'm most familiar with this. I can tell what it is just by looking."
"So, these women have all given birth?"
"Damn, why do I feel inexplicably scared?"
"Oh my god, I have a bad feeling about this."
...
In the dean's conference room.
The professors and experts were equally terrified upon seeing this scene and began to worry about the archaeological team.
"I heard from the older generation that women who have given birth and turn into ghosts are the most ferocious. Those who haven't even seen their children are even more vicious."
A professor of metaphysics exclaimed in horror upon seeing this scene.
Hearing this, everyone felt worse, fear flickering in their eyes.
And what were those things emitting a faint green glow around them?
"Dean, look, what are these things emitting light?"
Professor Hu's gaze fell on the green orbs of light, seeing strange shapes within them, primarily resembling the shape of a child.
Upon hearing the voice, everyone rushed to look at the big screen, and all they saw was shock and bewilderment.
"That's the shape of a child..."
Professor Wen quickly said.
"Guess where these children came from? And how did they end up here?"
The metaphysics professor suddenly thought of another possibility, his voice cutting in abruptly.
The already terrified crowd became even more frightened upon hearing this.
Meanwhile, in the tomb.
Zhou Lin saw these female corpses displaying eerie smiles, but they made no move.
Instead, they showed resentment, but within this resentment, there was a hint of a hunter sensing its prey.
Just then—
"Giggle giggle..."
A sound of infant laughter echoed abruptly in the cave.
The already overstimulated crowd became extremely tense, their gazes and all their thoughts fixed on the female corpses.
Now, with this sound, those who were already terrified felt their hearts pounding uncontrollably, and there was no sign of it calming down.
It felt as if it would leap out of their throats at any moment.
"What... what is that sound?"
Professor Lin swallowed with difficulty, his voice trembling.
There was even a hint of a sob, making it hard to ignore.
"Professor, why do you ask what you already know? That's the cry of a child..."
The student beside him, seeing the scene, was on the verge of tears, his breathing heavier than before.
"A child? Where did it come from?"
Elder Tang was also nervous, his eyes darting around, not noticing where the green lights were coming from.
Mainly, he no longer had the mental capacity to pay attention to such things.
"It should be coming from in here."
Zhou Lin heard this, pointed his finger at those things opposite, and saw a child emerge, struggling to break through the barrier.
Zhou Lin also noticed that when these women saw these children, their resentment had vanished, replaced by an excited gaze as they looked at the green 'broad beans.'
The 'broad beans' were being torn open, revealing black figures within, which began to become clearer.
The participants, archaeological students, security personnel, and the others had no idea how they were feeling, only watching the scene with tension and fear.
Their bodies were constantly retreating.
As the tearing sound became clearer, everyone watched as an infant emerged from these 'broad beans.'
In the livestream.
"Ah... you scared me to death. I was so damn nervous. I was scared by one thing, and now this appears. Damn it, I'm not watching anymore."
"Holy crap, I feel like I'm there. This thing is too terrifying."
"I can't take it anymore. I've wet myself. I'm so scared, I can't look at this anymore."
"No, why are these children in here, and why are they so ugly?"
...
The dean's nerves were taut as he watched the scene before him. This was different from what they had seen before.
Why did these children appear? And why were they active?
"Dean, are we just going to watch?"
A nearby expert felt utterly dreadful upon seeing this.
"Do you have another solution? Can you go up there and fight, or can you save them?"
