The people beside him, Elder Tang, the gymnastics champion, the Olympic champion, the biologist, the Wolf King, and others, also began to feel a sense of dread.
The feeling was even more intense than before.
In the live broadcast room.
"Holy crap, if that's the case, isn't it very dangerous? Are we going to die here at any moment?"
"Holy cow, I can't watch anymore. I'm really worried that something will happen as Senior Zhou Lin said. These forbidden women have such heavy resentment, won't they be able to attack at any time?"
"I never thought the royal family could be so heartless, treating people like nothing. Humiliation is one thing, but drowning them all is truly detestable."
"I'm even more worried about Senior and the archaeological team now."
...
The experts who were following the program were even more horrified.
"This monarch is truly ruthless. The forbidden women cultivated under such circumstances must be terrifying."
"What should we do now? Should we leave or stay? We could die at any moment."
"I don't know. It depends on what the archaeological team decides."
These experts were all tense. It was not appropriate for them to make a decision for them at this moment.
Inside the tomb.
Just as everyone was filled with dread and hesitation, the hair of the forbidden women in the water began to surge, heading straight for the people on the shore. One of the security guards was entangled by the hair.
Immediately, he was pulled into the water.
With a splash.
Water rippled in the pool.
The others also began to be covered in hair.
Elder Tang, the archaeological team, the Taoist priest, the Olympic champion, and the gymnastics champion were all tightly bound by hair. m..oΓg
"Pfft, Captain, help me..."
After the security guard fell into the water, the forbidden women had awakened at some unknown time. Their faces were drastically different from before. Before, they could be described as stunningly beautiful.
But now, their faces were covered in rotting skin, some still oozing pus and blood. Their mouths were stretched wide enough to reach their ears, looking extremely terrifying.
These forbidden women approached him one by one.
A group of women reached out and pressed him down, preventing him from surfacing.
The security guard struggled to break free and began to scream in terror.
The people on the shore wanted to rescue him, but they were all entangled by the hair and temporarily unable to move. They could only watch as the security guard was drowned alive by these forbidden women.
Seeing the person struggling in the water gradually fall silent, the security guards, the archaeological team, and the others were even more panicked.
They even had the thought of retreating and leaving this place.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were all terrified by the sudden surge of hair.
"Holy crap, this thing is dishonorable. It attacked sneakily and so suddenly. It's too shameless."
"Damn it, what should we do? It killed one as soon as it appeared. What about Elder Tang and these participants?"
"Let's go, let's leave quickly. Is it still in time?"
"In time for what? The hair has already entangled us. How can we run!!"
Zhou Lin calmly watched the hair. Just as it was about to rush towards him, he took out the flame knife he had exchanged from the mall.
This knife was a very small and exquisite knife, emitting flames all over.
Just as the hair was about to get close, Zhou Lin lightly swung the knife in his hand, and the hair was instantly ignited. The hair also showed no intention of advancing.
"Enough of you women. I am a gentleman, and I will not hit women. If you continue like this, I will get angry."
Zhou Lin roared at the forbidden women in the water with feigned fury.
Even though they were female corpses, they were still women. Adhering to the principles of a modern man, he absolutely could not hit a woman.
The archaeological team and others who were struggling looked at Zhou Lin's technique, and their eyes lit up.
More and more hair was appearing on their bodies, and they were being dragged into the water bit by bit.
They could only place all their hope on Zhou Lin.
"Mr. Zhou Lin, save us! Please save us."
"Yes, please, at least can you help us get rid of this hair?"
"We beg you, you can't just watch us die."
The members of the archaeological team felt a glimmer of hope as Zhou Lin easily cut through the hair.
"No..."
Zhou Lin politely refused the pleading gazes of everyone.
"I am a man, and I cannot act against women. My action just now was out of necessity. I cannot act."
Zhou Lin refused without thinking.
As soon as these words were spoken, the hope that the archaeological team and others had felt instantly plummeted.
What kind of words were these? What did he mean by not hitting women?
Were they still women?
They were female corpses, dead women...
Were they, the living, less important than this principle?
The other members of the archaeological team looked at Zhou Lin in disbelief, with a slight shock.
What kind of divine reason was this? Was this a reason to watch them all die?
These people were speechless...
The netizens in the live broadcast room, who had just heard these words, all spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn, as expected of my Senior Zhou Lin. I give his response a perfect score. It's truly brilliant."
"Pfft... I was drinking water nervously, and when I heard Senior say that, I almost choked to death on the water."
"What's wrong with this Senior? Is this considered a reason??"
"It probably is? Looking at Senior's demeanor, this is a very important reason. There must be some deeper meaning behind his actions."
...
Just as everyone was speechless, Elder Tang, the Taoist priest, and the Wolf King were already entangled by the hair.
Elder Tang still had a dagger with him. He tried to cut the hair with the dagger, but it had no effect.
The hair was not damaged in the slightest.
This made Elder Tang even more uneasy and nervous. His already trembling hands shook even more.
The Taoist priest looked at the hair around his waist and took out a talisman from his person, which had some exorcism runes on it. When he stuck the talisman to his waist, the hair emitted green smoke and then retreated.
The Taoist priest's eyes lit up with joy. Before he could be happy for a few minutes, another wave of hair from the forbidden women in the water surged forward.
His recently joyful mood fell from heaven to hell. The Taoist priest could only temporarily control the hair with the talismans.
The Wolf King, with a cold gaze, saw the hair approaching him. He took out the weapon in his hand and used his agile movements to temporarily dodge the hair's attack, but human stamina is limited.
Just as the Wolf King dodged the hair beside him, the hair from another direction attacked, precisely entangling the Wolf King's arm and waist, tightening its grip.
