"That's right, count me in."
Upon hearing that they could research the flute, the other professors eagerly signed up, not wanting to miss out.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The entire conference room buzzed with excitement.
At this moment, the video had already been released online across Daxia.
Huhu Shengwei App: Shocking! A Daxia novelist understands musical tones and uses them to resolve an impending crisis!!!
Xiao Ming Has Something to Say: Mysterious tomb reveals strange human-faced birds and monkeys... How will the novelist solve this dilemma??
Bai Ke Bai Jia: Dangers within the tomb, how will the novelist rescue the archaeological team??
Han Dou Video: Shocking, a mystical flute appears, clearing out these tomb creatures, truly astonishing!!!
Below the video, netizens were already discussing.
"Holy crap, the big shots are amazing. This flute looks high-end and classy, and the method used to clear these things is just as high-end and classy. Awesome."
"Exactly, exactly. Big shots are my eternal gods, 6666!!"
"Speaking of which, how did these monkeys coexist peacefully with these human-faced birds? Wouldn't ordinary creatures have been eaten by these monkeys?"
"Someone will probably ask about this later, and the big shot will explain. We just need to wait. Fortunately, these creatures are in the tomb. If they got out, who knows what kind of impact they would have."
"That makes sense."
...
Overseas:
Eagle Country:
"This is the first time I've seen creatures like these from overseas. Birds with human faces and monkeys without fur. It's truly a miraculous sight that these two creatures can coexist peacefully."
"It should be beautiful, but the location is wrong. It all looks incorrect."
"We don't have things like this in our Eagle Country. Amidst the beauty, there's danger. Look at the mercenaries, they're all wounded. Oh my god, it's too terrifying."
Sakura Country:
"Our Sakura Country has many supernatural occurrences, but this is the first time we've seen such a phenomenon. The tombs in Daxia are indeed very strange, which is why this country is so peculiar."
"Indeed, we in Sakura Country have never seen such terrifying things. Daxia is truly a peculiar country."
"It's best not to go there in the future. This is really too scary."
Great Cold Country:
"Our Great Cold Country has researched creatures like these before. Although these human-faced birds are not like theirs, such situations have appeared in our history."
"We've seen creatures like this long ago. Who knew Daxia had them too? Did they come from our Great Cold Country?"
"I'm really speechless. How can people in Daxia have the history of our Great Cold Country?"
Daxia:
"Some people in Eagle Country, I won't say who, are you crazy? Beautiful? If you like beauty so much, I'll send you a human-faced bird tomorrow to let you experience some beauty."
"And that Sakura Country, calling Daxia peculiar? Who is more peculiar than you? A country that eats shit, you're the first. Are all the people in your country possessed? Do you like eating this stuff??"
"That Great Cold Country, we haven't even mentioned you, and you're already being shameless. Everything is from your Great Cold Country? Your Great Cold Country has a lot of knowledge for such a small place. How did you end up in this pathetic state?"
...
At this moment, international disputes and attacks were underway.
Meanwhile, netizens in Daxia were waiting at instrument shops.
They primarily wanted to purchase the Glazed Seven-Colored Flute...
Instrument shops all over the country were packed, and the craftsmen making the Seven-Colored Flutes were exhausted.
They suddenly couldn't understand. Before, not a single one could be sold, but now...
Why were these people suddenly coming back? Had they all gone mad?
The owners of the instrument shops were now so busy they could barely handle the orders.
Inside the tomb.
As these monkeys died, many points appeared in Zhou Lin's mind. Seeing the points steadily increasing, he was overjoyed.
With the points nearing a hundred billion, Zhou Lin felt a surge of happiness, though he was frustrated that they couldn't be converted into cash.
After a while, the entire bird's nest fell silent.
The mercenaries were covered in bright red blood and white brain matter.
A foul odor emanated from them, but they were in no mood to care about that now.
Instead, they walked over to Zhou Lin.
"Professor Zhou, where did these monkeys come from? Why were they with the human-faced birds?" Captain Lin asked with confusion.
"They are complementary. These are called Mouth Monkeys. They depend on the human-faced birds for survival. The leftovers from what the human-faced birds eat are enough for them to live."
"These were all refined through dark arts, so there's no burden in killing them." Zhou Lin said nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Captain Lin, Elder Tang, Professor Lin, and the metaphysics professor all felt the tomb was even more terrifying.
Why was it filled with so many evil spirits? Either evil spirits or things refined by dark arts.
It was truly dreadful.
But now was not the time to dwell on that. The path ahead was pitch black, and they couldn't see.
How were they supposed to proceed?
Elder Tang shone his flashlight towards the bird's nest opposite them, looking down into a black abyss.
It was bottomless.
"Professor Zhou, let's think about how we should get across later. It's pitch black in here, and we can't see." Elder Tang turned back to look at Zhou Lin.
"You'll be able to see soon." Zhou Lin surveyed the surroundings and said calmly, not in a hurry.
"Huh? What do you mean?" The metaphysics professor felt as if he had opened a new door to the world, extremely curious about these situations.
"A formation has been set up around here, which is why you can't see. Now that the human-faced birds have been dealt with, you'll be able to see the path soon. Don't rush." Zhou Lin smiled faintly, waved his hand indifferently, and then walked to the edge, looking at the dark expanse before him.
As Zhou Lin stood still, the people behind him also stood watching the front, waiting to see if an exit would appear.
In the livestream:
"Did I hear that right? A path will just appear on its own?"
"You didn't mishear. Everything the big shot says is true. You must believe in the big shot firmly."
"I'm constantly watching the big screen now. I'm really worried I'll miss something."
"Haha, me too. Wherever the big shot looks, I look."
...
Inside the tomb.
Suddenly, a very strange stone bridge appeared before them. However, by the stone bridge, there were also some candlelight on both sides.
