164: The lingering fear in everyone's moment of crisis

One of the team members said anxiously, and quickly ran towards the shore.

Just as the injured team member ran from one rubber boat to another, the Saber-toothed Salmon behind them had already bitten through the rubber boat. The boat looked like a deflated balloon, finally floating on the water's surface.

Then came the second! And the third!

Wu Jing, Yang Chaoyue, and Reba, who had just come ashore, couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene.

Their legs couldn't help but go weak.

This was no way for a human to live.

This journey has been truly thrilling. We've only just reached the entrance, and these things are already happening. Who knows what else lies ahead.

"Brother Jing! I'm so scared!"

Zhang Dada felt that this place was even more terrifying than the previous Tomb.

"I'm scared too! But does it help? We all have the curse on us. Do you want to die?"

"If you don't want to die, then follow along. No one is going to risk their life for people who have nothing to do with them."

Wu Jing had no good feelings towards them at this moment.

Being cowardly and afraid of death was one thing, but wanting this and that on top of it was truly laughable.

Cai Xukun and Zhang Dada hung their heads, neither of them speaking.

It had to be said that although Wu Jing's words were harsh, they were indeed the truth.

Professor Wang and the other members of the Archaeological Team swallowed hard when they saw the floating rubber boat.

That was truly dangerous just now; they had almost died in the jaws of those fish.

"Professor!"

Those team members were all students and it was their first time entering a Tomb. Seeing the scene just now, they were very fearful; it would be a lie to say they weren't scared.

"It's alright! Just be more careful from now on."

Professor Wang comforted his students, but this was a necessary process to go through.

The students were all terribly afraid. Although their bodies were trembling, none of them spoke of quitting.

The security personnel and members of the Search and Rescue Team stood on the shore, watching the white light still surrounding the rubber boat, which hadn't dissipated for a long time.

"Step back, don't get close to the shore."

Professor Wang had once heard Professor Han talk about this creature. This creature didn't just reign supreme in the water; it also had a certain level of deterrence on the shore. It was better to keep a distance from the water's edge for now.

After hearing Professor Wang's words, the members of the Search and Rescue Team hurriedly took a few steps back.

As they retreated, everyone heard a splashing sound. Then, the Saber-toothed Salmon, glowing with white light, came directly onto the shore. It kept opening and closing its mouth, looking as if it wanted to invisibly chew on their flesh. It made everyone's scalp tingle.

Fortunately, they had listened; if they had followed their own ideas, they would probably have been bitten by these fish by now.

The audience in the Live Stream Room felt terrified at this moment. Their hanging hearts finally settled down.

【Damn! I was so scared along this journey; I'm never going to play in the water again. This thing is truly terrifying.】

【Damn it, is this any way for a human to live? This is simply a nightmare!】

【Good thing the professor reminded them in time; if it had been a step later, I wouldn't even dare to imagine it.】

【I can breathe a sigh of relief now. I was truly scared to death just watching; I thought it was something else.】

【Strange, the reason Brother Ye Bai didn't use his blood before was because of the water current, but when seeing the Saber-toothed Salmon, why didn't he use his blood to deal with this thing?】

【I don't know! But Brother Ye Bai can't take action all the time. It's not your hand being cut, so you guys don't feel the pain, huh.】

Seeing that Ye Bai and the others were safe, the audience let out a heavy sigh of relief, and the bullet comments became much more frequent than before. The atmosphere was not as heavy as it had been.

Meanwhile, the professors from the School of Biology who were watching them were all breathing a sigh of relief in their office.

"Oh my god! You scared me to death!"

"I thought they were done for!"

"Just now during the rapids, I thought they would all capsize. Fortunately, their skills were solid. If they had really capsized, it would have been truly difficult to deal with; they wouldn't even know how to cry when the time came."

"They would have definitely died."

The professors were all talking over each other there. They felt worried about the safety of these people.

Professor Han watched Professor Wang's warning just now and nodded with satisfaction. Xiao Song looked at Professor Han's expression and knew what he was thinking.

"I didn't expect Professor Wang's memory to be quite good; at least he still remembers what you said."

Xiao Song's voice came to his ear.

"That's also his good luck. When he was asking me to help with the Tomb, I happened to be researching piranhas and just happened to mention it. I didn't expect him to remember."

Professor Han said with a chuckle, feeling relieved inside.

However, truth be told, Old Wang looked alright at this moment, at least not as sloppy as before.

"But there is one thing I don't understand. Why didn't Ye Bai take action directly? He left these fish on purpose, right?"

Xiao Song watched Ye Bai's figure for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Hmm? Tell me about it?"

Professor Han looked at Xiao Song, wanting to hear his opinion.

"He didn't strike hard at these fish, just temporarily drove them away. I think he kept these fish to defend against those Corpse Beetles. Who knows if there will be any more Corpse Beetles behind the human cocoon area!"

Xiao Song thought this possibility was high.

"That's one part, but actually there's another part."

Professor Han felt that what Xiao Song said made sense, but it wasn't comprehensive enough.

"Did you forget? Ye Bai and the others are live streaming this whole journey, and the matter of the Tomb of King Xian is well-known. Keeping these fish can also be used to fend off Tomb Robbers."

"That's also part of it."

Professor Han felt that Ye Bai thought quite far ahead.

"I think you're right."

Xiao Song felt that Professor Han made a lot of sense; as expected of a professor, he thinks about so much.

Inside the Tomb.

Yang Mi and Reba stood on either side behind Ye Bai, then looked at Ye Bai.

"Ye Bai, why didn't you take action?"

Yang Mi didn't understand. Based on the function of Ye Bai's blood, those fish would definitely have scattered instantly.

"Guarding the gate, defending against thieves."

Ye Bai dropped this sentence and then turned and left.

Yang Mi and Reba were both stunned for a moment. Reba still looked at Yang Mi in confusion.

"Sister Mi, why don't I understand? What does this mean?"

Reba said suspiciously.

"What he means is to prevent Tomb Robbers from coming. Our arrival here has already attracted national attention. In case there are Tomb Robbers, these things can still hold them off for a while."

"Even if it doesn't kill them, it can reduce their forces. This is also a tactic of Ye Bai's, I suppose."

"I have to say, he thinks very comprehensively; at least I didn't think of it."

When Yang Mi said this, she looked at Ye Bai with a bit more respect.
