"Uncle Lin... this guy is a strategist who can control fox demons!"
"What if Iron Face suddenly wakes up? Can you fight off the ghost soldiers with a pistol?!"
Wu Xie, quick-witted as ever, immediately offered his advice.
"No, as long as that mechanism is closed again, the stone coffin will be pushed back in!"
"On the condition that nothing can be taken from here!"
Archaeologist Lin Pan, gripping his pistol tightly, stared at the bronze fish in Wu Xie's hand and said firmly.
"What the hell?! I risked my life to get here, and you're telling me I can't take anything with me?"
"Have you lost your mind?"
"You academics are just so pretentious!"
In the crowd, a fat man carrying a schoolbag couldn't help but curse at Lin Pan.
"I'm sorry, but this is my mission! It's also the ultimate purpose for which I came here with my third uncle!"
Lin Pan, a former special forces soldier, didn't care at all about the curses from others.
They insisted on protecting all the items inside the tomb and not allowing anyone to take them away.
"Sir, you are truly righteous!"
"But do you really think you can control us all by yourself with just a gun?"
Upon realizing that he had been used by the archaeological expert in front of him, the third uncle frowned and asked in return.
"Of course you can't control it."
"But I just sent out the coordinates here."
"If nothing unexpected happens, this hilltop is now surrounded by the army."
“I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but everything in the tomb belongs to the country. You can still leave now.”
As Lin Pan spoke, he raised the satellite communicator in his hand and waved it.
"Hoo~"
An uproar erupted from the audience.
"Archaeologist Lin Pan has kept a deep secret; he is truly courageous and resourceful!"
"Although it's regrettable, Lin Pan is right. These relics and artifacts should be the common wealth of all the people of the Dragon Kingdom!"
"This reversal came out of nowhere. Archaeologists risked their lives to come here, just to protect the tomb!"
"After all, handing it over to the national army is better than burning it down!"...
The audience was once again in uproar when Lin Pan, an archaeological expert, stood up to stop the tomb raiders.
Especially the netizens in the Dragon Kingdom's live streaming rooms.
I sincerely admire this archaeologist who risked his life to stand up for the national interest.
Seeing that they couldn't persuade Lin Pan, Wu Xie and the others turned their attention to the taciturn Zhang Qiling.
They wanted to get the opinion of this mysterious young man.
"We have triggered the mechanism to awaken the Jade Chrysalis Lord."
"If the Jade Cocoon Master is not awakened, the entire tomb will collapse into the depths of the earth in at most half an hour."
"Those who remain here will go back to the underworld with King Lu Shang to repay their debts to the Earth God."
"So, are you sure you want to stay here?"
Zhang Qiling looked at the archaeologist and said in a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned horrified.
So, everyone only has half an hour left to escape?
Why didn't this silent fellow say so sooner!
"Don't forget, I was once a soldier, and that's when a soldier's passion is used."
"Even if I were to fall into the underworld, to witness such a miracle in my lifetime would make my life worthwhile!"
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Even if it's returned to Yama, at least the Dragon Kingdom's ancestors' vast fortune didn't fall into the hands of foreign races."
Lin Pan, holding a pistol, smiled faintly and said dismissively.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling was taken aback.
He seemed to see the power of some kind of faith in the other person's eyes.
This power of faith makes people fearless of death!
In fact, he was carrying a secret that no one knew about on this trip.
That is to find clues to one's origins and to discover the source of one's bloodline!
Archaeologist Lin Pan's unwavering attitude of facing death for his beliefs further strengthened Zhang Qiling's determination to continue his exploration.
"Hmm..."
"That's what a true warrior is!"
"Perhaps he thought Zhang Qiling was lying to him?"
"No wonder he's a retired special forces soldier from the Dragon Kingdom!"...
Upon hearing the male actor playing Lin Pan on stage give a resounding reply.
