The little black snake was extremely fast. Zhou Lin's fingers twitched slightly, and the Frost Sword in his hand spun, then with a backhand slash, it broke the little black snake in half.
The snake's body still writhed on the ground.
The Snake King looked at Zhou Lin with surprise, sensing that Zhou Lin's speed was many times faster than it had anticipated.
Immediately, the Snake King opened its mouth wide, about to bite down on Zhou Lin.
Seeing the gaping maw rushing towards him, Zhou Lin pushed off the ground with a slight exertion, his body soaring upwards.
At that moment, the great eagle, having just swallowed the snake's gall, saw Zhou Lin fly up.
It let out a cry, flapped its wings, and flew towards Zhou Lin.
Tang Lao, Professor Lin, and the others watching Zhou Lin's situation from below were stunned.
Was this human? Could anyone in the world possess such skill?
And that leap, who could jump so high? Not even a jumping champion could!
The Wolf King, a former soldier, was filled with shock as he witnessed Zhou Lin's agility.
Even soldiers might not be able to achieve such feats.
How could Zhou Lin do it?
The Wolf King was deeply shaken.
Olympic and gymnastics champions watched with their mouths agape, staring at Zhou Lin in disbelief.
With a backflip, Zhou Lin landed steadily on the great eagle's back. The eagle circled in the air with Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin held the Frost Sword, occasionally coordinating with the great eagle.
As the frost from the Frost Sword was about to touch the Snake King, the Snake King nimbly dodged.
Then, it opened its mouth wide, spewing out a swarm of little black snakes.
These little snakes were highly venomous and flew towards Zhou Lin.
Sensing the extreme toxicity of the snakes, the great eagle grabbed them with its sharp talons, tearing them in half.
The Frost Sword in Zhou Lin's hand also swung fiercely. When the little snakes were cut in half by the Frost Sword, a faint frost appeared at the wound.
This astonished the archaeologists, participants, and security personnel watching from below.
"Is that... frost?"
Professor Lin looked at a little black snake that had fallen near his feet. He quickly picked up the remaining tail. The blood had already frozen over with frost.
A trace of cold air emanated from it.
The skin was still somewhat cold.
Tang Lao and the biologist, feeling the frost on the snake's tail, were even more profoundly shocked.
This was the little black snake Zhou Lin had just cut, wasn't it?
The gymnastics and Olympic champions saw Zhou Lin standing majestically on the great eagle, holding a sword, looking incredibly imposing.
The security personnel, looking at the mess on the ground, the bodies of various venomous snakes, couldn't help but marvel at the great eagle's destructive power.
"Be careful of the Snake King. Keep a close watch on these small snakes, and don't let any escape and harm others."
The captain of the security team spoke coldly to his subordinates.
"Yes."
The other security personnel, armed, cautiously scanned the surrounding area for any remaining small snakes.
The great eagle watched as the Snake King suddenly spat out more little black snakes.
It quickly ascended a distance. Just behind the swarm of little snakes, the Snake King's massive head suddenly emerged.
The great eagle, momentarily careless, had its legs firmly bitten by the Snake King.
The great eagle flapped its wings a few times, initiating a tug-of-war.
"Zhou Lin, be careful!"
Tang Lao, seeing the great eagle struggling back and forth, called out worriedly towards the sky.
If this great eagle accidentally threw him off, wouldn't that be very dangerous?
Professor Lin, the Taoist priest, the biologist, the historian, the Wolf King, the architectural champion, and the others all looked up at Zhou Lin, worried he might fall.
Zhou Lin, seeing the situation was not good, knew that being on the eagle's back restricted his ability to act freely.
Zhou Lin took a step, stomped on the great eagle's head, and moved towards the giant python's head.
Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he hurled himself onto the Snake King.
Seeing Zhou Lin coming down, the Snake King released the great eagle's legs and opened its mouth wide, intending to swallow Zhou Lin.
But Zhou Lin suddenly threw the Frost Sword in his hand, directly piercing the Snake King's nose.
Immediately, a thick frost began to form on its nose, gradually solidifying into ice.
The Snake King instinctively closed its mouth, and Zhou Lin successfully escaped. Holding the Frost Sword, he ran down the Snake King's head towards its rear.
Tang Lao, seeing that Zhou Lin had almost been eaten, breathed a long sigh of relief now that he was safe.
It had been so close, Zhou Lin had almost died in the Snake King's jaws.
After Zhou Lin descended, the great eagle, now free, was about to attack the Snake King when the Snake King suddenly retreated into the mercury.
It evaded the great eagle's attack.
The equipment submerged in the mercury at this moment recorded everything.
Netizens, having heard Tang Lao's voice earlier, knew Zhou Lin was in danger.
While they were speculating wildly, they saw a black figure suddenly flash past.
"Holy crap, what was that? What just shot out of nowhere?"
"It looked like something, and it was huge. That tail was massive."
"Big, and with a tail, isn't that the Snake King? Did the Snake King just flee in panic?"
"I thought I heard someone up there call out the boss's name earlier, sounding terrified. Why is the big snake running away now?"
"I don't know. But I just realized, I thought this mercury pool was very deep, but I see it's not that deep. There's a passage inside."
"Exactly, I saw it too. You're very observant."
"Awesome, awesome."
...
Zhou Lin stood on the ground, watching the great eagle circling, its sharp eyes fixed on the mercury pool.
It seemed displeased that the Snake King had escaped.
"Young friend Zhou Lin, are you alright?"
Tang Lao, seeing Zhou Lin descend, quickly asked.
"I'm fine, Tang Lao. You all stay on the shore. The great eagle will protect you. Do not leave here on your own accord."
Zhou Lin shook his head quickly, seeing Tang Lao's concerned gaze.
"You're going to chase it? That's a mercury pool! You'll be poisoned if you go down there."
The Taoist priest thought he had misheard. Did Zhou Lin intend to go into the water to chase it? He would be poisoned!
"No, I won't be. However, there's something I hope you can promise me."
Zhou Lin looked at everyone with firm resolve, then took a few steps, and turned back to look at Tang Lao.
"What is it? Tell me."
Tang Lao's heart tightened as he saw Zhou Lin ask so seriously. Was he about to leave a dying declaration?
