The people from Sakura Country followed closely behind Da Xia, step by step. At this time, they could only cling to Da Xia's coattails.
Zhou Lin walked at the forefront, examining the side passage. He noticed that the side was not a stone wall but soil.
"Professor, do you smell that? Doesn't this smell like soil? And a strong smell of earth?"
After Captain Zhao finished speaking, he still sniffed his nostrils uncertainly, trying to smell more carefully.
"No need to smell, this is a tomb, it's normal to have a smell of earth."
Upon hearing Huo Qi's voice, Huo Qi hurriedly spoke.
"Really? Professor Huo, shall we make a bet?"
When Zhou Lin heard Huo Qi's voice, his footsteps also stopped, and he asked suspiciously.
Huo Qi looked at Zhou Lin's appearance and felt a little regretful. Why did he have to say these things?
"This..."
Huo Qi twitched his mouth when he saw the situation.
"Bet or not?"
Zhou Lin asked tentatively.
"Okay, then let's bet two hundred yuan."
Huo Qi looked at Zhou Lin, his heart was already bleeding. Two hundred yuan, how much material could that buy? And he just made a bet like this?
"What did you say? Two hundred?"
Zhou Lin thought he misheard. Two hundred yuan, why was a professor so short of money?
"Mmm hmm."
Huo Qi still spoke in a very generous tone.
"Forget it, I won't bet with you."
Zhou Lin had calculated everything, but he never expected that Professor Huo Qi was truly stingy. No wonder the metaphysics professor had told him repeatedly that Huo Qi was stingy.
He deeply understood it now.
In the live broadcast room.
"Holy crap, Professor Huo Qi is notoriously stingy. Now I see it, he's really stingy."
"Haha, the great god wanted to make a bet but failed, it's really pathetic."
"Haha, two hundred yuan, I even want the great god to bet, I want to bet with the great god."
"Your Da Xia is really embarrassing, betting on something as trivial as two hundred yuan?"
"Your professor is really humble, can't even come up with two hundred?"
"That's right, you people from Sakura Country are really capable. You spend hundreds of millions casually. Since you entered, you've already spent over a billion, right? Can't compare, can't compare."
"Your people are too precious, can't compare, can't compare."
...
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin led everyone towards the upper area, and the smell of earth became more and more pungent.
"Zhou Lin, this smell is wrong, what's going on? Why is there such a strong smell of earth?"
The metaphysics professor looked at him suspiciously.
"You'll know in a moment."
Zhou Lin replied calmly, then calmly walked towards the inside.
More than ten minutes later.
A different mud pit appeared before everyone's eyes, with fresh soil all around.
At the top of the stone steps, a vast open space appeared, and the smell of soil was very strong.
"I wondered why the smell of soil inside was so strong. Turns out it's all mud here?"
The metaphysics professor looked at the black stuff all around and was surprised.
Huo Qi looked at the soil, then reached out and picked up some soil from the ground. There was still sticky moisture on it. He was startled and felt a sense of lingering fear.
Fortunately, he didn't agree to the bet, otherwise he would have lost for sure.
The people from Sakura Country behind them had already decided to stand back for now and not approach.
Otherwise, if there was danger, they wouldn't have the money to rescue these people's lives.
In the live broadcast room.
"Why does it look so terrifying to me? Will something terrifying appear later?"
"Even if something terrifying appears, you have to watch it. Who told us to care about the professors?"
"I think, great god Zhou Lin is very powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he can't stop my fear."
"Hmph, you people from Da Xia are really timid, it's ridiculous."
"Exactly, you keep talking about being a great nation, but it's just bragging."
"You are not afraid, but what about the people on the scene, their condition is still unknown."
"Especially that professor, look at him."
"Haha, don't say it, there's no face to say it."
...
In the dean's conference room.
Looking at the mud pit that appeared before them, they all felt a little nervous.
"Let's be well prepared later. I'm worried we might see something terrifying later."
Professor Wen, as if performing magic, laid out quick-acting heart-saving pills and various other medicines.
"What are you doing?"
Professor Hu's mouth twitched when he saw the scene. Did he bring the entire pharmacy? This is too terrifying.
"This is prevention. We are all of a certain age, so we must take the best protective measures."
Professor Wen said with a determined expression.
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin looked at the mud pits and took out a flashlight to take a simple look.
"How do we get across?"
Huo Qi looked at the mud pit and was about to test it with his foot.
"Don't go over."
Zhou Lin quickly pulled Huo Qi back. The metaphysics professor saw a hand emerge from the mud, covered in silt.
"Fortunately, you didn't go down, otherwise you would have been dead."
The metaphysics professor felt a surge of fear when he saw this situation and looked at the mud pit, still shaken.
Huo Qi looked at the muddy hand that had just appeared below, and all his cells tensed up.
"What is this thing?"
Huo Qi had just asked when a wailing sound came from above, very piercing.
Upon hearing this, everyone's hair stood on end, and they shivered involuntarily.
"Professor, is this a ghost?"
A student next to Professor Fang moved closer to him, looking nervously at the surrounding environment.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. With Zhou Lin here, it will be fine."
Professor Fang quickly comforted him.
The mercenaries and others behind them, although from the military and fearless, were still very afraid when they suddenly heard such an abnormal human sound.
The people from Sakura Country, upon seeing this, trembled even more. Several students huddled together for a sense of security.
In the live broadcast room.
"Holy crap, I was just saying it casually, why did I hear a terrifying sound so quickly?"
"Yeah, yeah, I also feel a chill down my spine. I don't even dare to go to the bathroom."
"Can someone explain?"
...
Inside the tomb.
"Professor Zhou Lin, what's going on? Why is there a hand under the mud? Is it an evil spirit?"
Professor Fang finally couldn't bear the terror and asked.
"This is a mud person. I once heard my master mention it. This mud person is the most humble kind of soul. Isn't it often said, 'the difference between clouds and mud'? This is the best example. It is mud..."
