"These items are all very valuable, how could they be inside? Could it be that Ancestral Dragon was just showing off his status?"
The other half of the professors were extremely surprised to see this.
"It's very possible, but I feel it's more than that. Perhaps it's a mechanism set up to prevent outsiders from entering this tomb."
The dean looked at the scene before him and agreed with the others.
Inside the tomb.
Everyone stared at the trees in astonishment, then slowly approached the opposite side.
Watching the trees getting closer and closer, Old Tang looked at them in shock. These trees were at least a hundred years old.
They were all equally thick.
"These are all Silver Fir trees. I saw them in some data before. There aren't many of them in the world, and I didn't expect to find them here."
Old Tang even reached out and touched the trunk in shock.
Then he led everyone further inside.
He didn't notice that the bark on the trunk Old Tang had just touched was peeling off, and a human face slowly appeared.
However, this face had its eyes closed and was not fully open.
Then it disappeared.
It was so fast that it was hard for anyone to notice.
As they walked further in, the surroundings became quieter, and the grass grew taller.
The archaeological team and the others were getting tired, standing still and panting as they looked at the forest.
"Everyone, rest for a while and have something to eat."
Old Tang was getting on in years. After what he had been through, he was at his limit, and now they had walked for nearly an hour.
Sweat was dripping from him uncontrollably.
The students on the side breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
"Professor, we need to go to the restroom."
"Me too."
"Me too."
Several students walked towards the grass, their figures disappearing.
"Alas... I hope they come back quickly."
Zhou Lin said as if with regret. Only Wolf King heard these words.
Wolf King glanced at Zhou Lin.
"Why do you say that?"
Wolf King was suspicious.
"Wolf King, you're from the military. Don't you think it's strange for such things to appear in a tomb? Don't you find this very odd?"
Zhou Lin smiled lightly at Wolf King, then gently patted his shoulder.
Finally, he sat down on the ground, redeemed some food from the system page, and began to enjoy it.
Wolf King's brows furrowed even tighter.
What did he mean?
Were those students in danger?
In the live broadcast room.
"Damn, I heard what the big shot said, there's something wrong here?"
"It seems so. I thought the forest looked very comfortable before, but after what big shot Zhou Lin said, I feel a bit scared."
"That's right, but no one has had an accident yet, and the danger hasn't happened. We can't stop the students from going to the restroom, can we?"
"Damn, I'm starting to get nervous. What's going on? Is my reaction normal?"
...
The few students who were relieving themselves were doing so.
A student in black clothes on the side felt someone tugging at his waist.
"Are you guys still bothering me when you're using the restroom? Why are you pulling my clothes for no reason?"
The black-clothed student looked at his classmates unhappily, expressing his displeasure.
"Are you crazy? Who would pull your clothes for no reason? We're also using the restroom."
"Exactly. Maybe a ghost is pulling your clothes and taking you away," the two students said with a light laugh.
"No, no, no, there are no ghosts here. Maybe the trees are pulling your clothes and want to take you away, haha."
Another student in red clothes said with a light laugh.
"You guys have such vicious mouths. These trees are dead, how can they take me away? Just shut up."
The black-clothed student frowned upon hearing this, unwilling to joke with these two classmates. He tied his belt and was about to walk back.
But the moment he turned around, he saw a large tree behind him, and a terrifying face on it.
The face that was previously closed suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a scarlet glow.
And the face opened its mouth, revealing fangs.
Dense branches suddenly grew from the trunk of the Silver Fir tree, reaching towards the black-clothed student.
"Ah..."
The black-clothed student let out a piercing scream upon seeing this terrifying scene.
But before he could finish, he was successfully enveloped by the branches.
The two students who were still relieving themselves heard the scream and turned back unhappily, about to speak, when they saw a horrifying sight.
The black-clothed student was being wrapped by branches, and there was a crunching sound. Blood was dripping onto the ground.
"Ah..."
"Ah..."
The two students screamed in terror, their voices echoing through the forest.
The archaeological team, security personnel, and participants who were resting nearby all heard the screams.
Old Tang and Professor Lin had just sat down and taken a bite of food when they heard the screams and exchanged a look.
"Professor, that voice sounds like Lin Wei's. Could something have happened?"
A student on the side recognized his classmate's voice and said anxiously.
"Oh no, something has happened."
Old Tang's face turned pale. He hurriedly got up from the ground and rushed towards the direction of the screams, followed closely by the security personnel and participants.
In the live broadcast room.
"Holy crap, the big shot was right. It's really dangerous in here?"
"What happened to those students? That sound doesn't sound right. Something bad must have happened, right?"
"Honey, if nothing had happened, there wouldn't be such a sound."
"Holy crap, I'm scared."
...
Inside the tomb.
Everyone looked in the direction where the students had disappeared and saw scarlet blood on the ground, but no sign of the students who had walked over earlier.
There were also some clothes on the ground, stained with blood.
There were also some internal organs and dismembered limbs on the ground.
"Ugh..."
The Taoist priest, the Olympic champion, the gymnastics champion, the historian, and the biologist all felt their stomachs churn upon seeing these things and finally couldn't control themselves.
They stood aside and began to vomit.
Professor Lin and Old Tang watched this scene, their hearts aching.
They were alive and well just a moment ago, and now they were killed like this, dying tragically here...
Old Tang's eyes began to fill with scarlet.
