151: A moment of crisis, the threat of tomb raiders.
Wu Jing had no idea what to do right now. The dangers he had encountered before were all just for filming; those weren't real enemies.
What he saw now were real enemies, and they were all carrying real blades and guns.
No matter how calm he usually was, he couldn't stay calm now.
"No need to worry."
Ye Bai simply said those four words, his expression calm and composed.
Upon hearing Ye Bai's words, Wu Jing felt even more uncertain.
Don't worry? What time is it already?
These guys are Tomb Robbers, and that one has a gun. With just a twitch of a finger, they'd all die here.
And he's still not worried?
However, he couldn't bring himself to say those words out loud.
On the other hand, Zhang Dada, Cai Xukun, and the other two were shaking like leaves, scared out of their wits.
Would it work if they knelt down now and begged them not to kill them?
"Big brother, please calm down. Whatever you do, don't kill me. I'll give you as much money as you want. You must know we're celebrities; I'll give you any amount of money."
Zhang Dada's face was deathly pale, and his voice was trembling. He was desperate to kneel and beg for mercy right then and there.
To his surprise, the other party ignored Zhang Dada and instead showed a look of mockery.
"What celebrity? You're just a coward. How embarrassing. Since you're in such a hurry to speak, I'll send you to your death first."
The leader of the Tomb Robbers suddenly pointed his gun at Zhang Dada, aiming the muzzle right at his head.
Zhang Dada felt his head swell with fear, and he instinctively hid behind Wu Jing.
Wu Jing wanted to curse out loud right now.
Damn it, you provoked him with your own big mouth, so what do you mean by standing behind me now?
Do you want him to die instead?
The viewers in the Live Stream Room were all feeling tense now.
Many fans were even filled with fury and hatred toward Zhang Dada.
[Damn it!! What is Zhang Dada doing? If you want to die, then go die yourself! Why are you dragging our Brother Jing into it?]
[Hateful! It's all because of his loose tongue. This is so annoying. How can this guy be so despicable?]
[Arghhh!! What do we do now? This dog only knows how to hide when trouble strikes. Now that he's hiding behind Brother Jing, if something happens, won't it be Brother Jing who gets hit? Why should Brother Jing take the fall for the trouble he caused?]
[Dada was also acting out of good intentions. What if money could buy their lives? Do you guys really want to see your idols die here? What kind of intentions do you all have?]
[Exactly, do you guys just want to wait here for death? Someone has to step up and say something, right?]
[Will you shut up? Zhang Dada is already annoying enough, but you guys are even more f*cking annoying. Your idol is brainless, and you're even more brainless. No one with a brain would say such things.]
[Now that something's happened, your idol is hiding behind Brother Jing. It's truly f*cking disgusting.]
The fans of the various stars were all feeling furious and angry for their idols, truly feeling disdain for Zhang Dada's brainless behavior.
This was just f*cking insane.
But anger aside, what they were most worried about now was the safety of the celebrities.
After all, these were Tomb Robbers who had come with murderous intent.
Inside the Tomb.
Ye Bai's ears twitched slightly as he looked at the Tomb Robber's face.
The next moment!
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot rang out, echoing throughout the palace.
Hearing the gunshot, Wu Jing instinctively closed his eyes. He thought he was dead for sure. Before he could regain his senses, he heard the terrified screams of Bai Lu and Yang Chaoyue.
"Ah..."
Those female celebrities had seen corpses before, but they had only seen corpses that had been dead for many years. This kind of 'fresh goods' that had just been killed was a first for them.
Seeing this, the girls screamed in terror.
Zhang Dada, Huang Zi Tao, and Cai Xukun were also frightened by the gunshot. They instinctively shrunk their necks, and though they didn't scream, they all closed their eyes, not daring to look at Wu Jing.
They thought Wu Jing was dead for sure.
But the next moment!
A rapid succession of gunshots reached their ears again.
Only then did they realize something was wrong.
"Don't move!"
They hurriedly opened their eyes and saw members of the Search and Rescue Team standing at the entrance with guns, their muzzles still pointed at the Tomb Robbers.
As for the Tomb Robber who had been about to kill them, he was now lying on the ground with a bloody red hole in his forehead.
Seeing the corpse lying on the ground, their legs gave out, and they all slumped to the floor together.
Wu Jing was also dripping with cold sweat, his heart pounding like thunder.
Finally, he slumped heavily onto the ground, gasping for breath.
Bang bang bang!!!
Rat-tat-tat!!!
In less than a minute, those Tomb Robbers were wiped out.
Seeing the Search and Rescue Team arrive, the celebrities and the viewers all let out a heavy sigh of relief.
They were finally safe.
Ye Bai frowned slightly as he watched these people arrive.
Why did so many people come? Didn't he say to bring as few people as possible?
Behind the Search and Rescue Team was another group of people carrying backpacks and wearing identical clothing, led by a white-haired old man.
Upon seeing Ye Bai, the old man hurried toward him.
As for the cultural relics nearby, he didn't even spare them a single glance.
"Ye Bai!"
Professor Wang stood before Ye Bai and was the first to reach out his hand. "I am Professor Wang from the Archaeology Academy. I've finally met you."
Professor Wang looked at Ye Bai with a beaming smile, nearly reaching out to give him a firm pat on the shoulder.
In person, he looked even more handsome than on the screen.
"You are Professor Wang?"
Wu Jing, Yang Mi, and the others were all momentarily stunned upon hearing the old man's words.
Who didn't know Professor Wang of the archaeology world?
He was a titan of the archaeology world and a national treasure of the field.
How much history and culture had been unearthed through his hands?
He was a legendary figure. Although they were celebrities, compared to him, they were far behind.
The ones making real contributions to Great Xia were these archaeology professors.
"Your performance has been truly remarkable; even I feel ashamed of my own inferiority watching you. Would you like to join the Archaeology Academy? In the future, you can enter any Tomb you want."
Professor Wang was even more satisfied seeing Ye Bai's unruffled demeanor.
He didn't realize at all what kind of shock his words would cause.
Zhang Dada, Cai Xukun, Huang Zi Tao, and Hua Chenyu were all dumbfounded once again.
What did they just hear?
A professor from the Archaeology Academy was inviting Ye Bai to join them?
They didn't hear wrong, did they? Was this for real?
Or were they all hallucinating?
At this moment, Zhang Dada, Hua Chenyu, and Cai Xukun felt a surge of jealousy again.
They had all gone through life and death in the Tomb together, so why did he get the chance to join the Archaeological Team while they could only watch?
And this Professor Wang, why did he take a direct liking to him? What about them? Where were they lacking?
It wasn't just them who were stunned; the people in the Live Stream Room were stunned as well.
