184: A strange creature appeared, shocking the entire audience.

Just then—

"Roar!"

A humanoid monster emerged from the doorway. Its mouth was split into four lobes, revealing sharp fangs within. It crawled in from outside, dragging a long, slender tail behind it.

After entering, it bared its sharp fangs and lunged at Scarface with incredible speed.

"Ah..."

Before Scarface could react, his vision went dark. A foul stench washed over him, accompanied by a sharp pain that was rapidly intensifying.

Everyone present was stunned. They had been standing there in a tense standoff, and no one expected this thing to suddenly appear and bite off Scarface's head. It happened far too suddenly.

They hadn't even processed what was happening; they were in a state of complete shock.

Everyone on the scene was dumbfounded.

Inside the Live Stream Room.

[Holy crap! What on earth is that? Where did it come from?]

[Oh my god! What is that thing? Why did it show up? It's so hideous!]

[Wait! What do we do now? Why did another monster appear?]

[Hold on, doesn't that thing look familiar? I feel like I've seen that body color somewhere before!]

[Damn! I'm not in the mood to care about its color; I only care about my Da Mimi and Reba!!]

[What should they do? Run! Just run already!!]

The viewers were extremely nervous and confused. No one knew where this creature had come from.

Moreover, the creature was terrifying, especially those teeth—they were like something out of a nightmare.

Inside the Archaeology Academy.

The professors had just breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Professor Wang wasn't dead, but before they could even process it, another monster appeared.

And that monster had immediately devoured a Tomb Robber. Although the timing was helpful, it was still incredibly dangerous.

"What is that thing? How can it be so terrifying? Where did it come from this time?"

One of the professors asked, his voice trembling.

"I don't know, but I have to say, that netizen was right. Don't you think the skin color on this fellow looks off?"

"It's not just 'off,' it's familiar. I also find it very familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before."

"I also feel like something is strange, but I can't quite place it."

The other professors also found it familiar, but they just couldn't remember.

"That's... the color of the Thorn Eggs."

As Professor Guo watched Professor Wang and the others frantically trying to figure out what it was, he suddenly remembered.

Weren't those the Thorn Eggs floating in the water?

The color inside them was exactly the same as the color of this creature's skin.

Boom!

All the professors on the scene were stunned.

Their minds felt like mush.

"Thorn Eggs? What does this have to do with Thorn Eggs?"

"Could it be that this is what eventually comes out of the Thorn Eggs?"

Upon hearing 'Thorn Eggs,' Professor Qian was stunned for a moment. Then, as if realizing something, his already pale face turned even whiter.

Thinking of this possibility meant that they were all in grave danger.

An image appeared in his mind: the Thorn Eggs floating in the water.

There wasn't just one of them!!

"It's over! This time it's really over!"

"They are in serious danger now."

"Can Ye Bai handle this on his own?"

The other professors also reached this conclusion. The thought of those Thorn Eggs hatching was truly terrifying.

And they had the advantage of numbers.

It's over!!

This time it's really over!!

They weren't the only ones dazed; the School of Biology was as well.

When they saw this creature, Professor Han and the other professors were dumbfounded.

Earlier, when they saw Professor Wang bringing back tissue from the Immortal Bug, they were excited and happy.

Later, when they encountered the Tomb Robbers and were threatened, they were tense and worried.

Now, all that remained was sheer terror.

"What is that thing? It's my first time seeing such a creature."

A biology professor stood up abruptly, pointing at the large screen in horror.

"I don't recognize it either."

"Professor Han, do you recognize it?"

The other professors were equally terrified.

If they knew what it was, they might be able to help.

Professor Han shook his head. "I don't recognize it. This is a creature unique to the Tomb... it's not something found in the outside world. Only the Archaeological Team studies tombs; perhaps they recognize it."

Professor Han's words left them all in a state of passive anxiety.

"Then it's over! We can't help at all."

Another professor was still looking at them in fear.

"I find this thing very familiar. Have we seen it somewhere before?"

"I think so too, but I just can't remember."

"Never mind that, let's just see how Ye Bai handles this thing."

The other professors were now pinning all their hopes on Ye Bai.

As for Professor Han, when he heard Ye Bai's name, he suddenly remembered something.

"Do you remember what Ye Bai was doing just then?"

"Wasn't he just standing there?"

The professor beside him recalled that he had stood there without moving.

"No, he didn't just 'not move'; he was staring at the doorway the entire time."

"Also, when Professor Wang was in danger and Yang Mi was in danger, Ye Bai didn't move. I think something is wrong here; this doesn't fit his character. He isn't a cold-hearted person."

Professor Han fell silent for a moment before suddenly realizing a possibility.

Ye Bai had done it on purpose. He was deliberately stalling for time.

"He knew all along that this thing would come out. He was waiting there the whole time for exactly this..."

Thinking of this, Professor Han became firm in his conviction.

"Ah?"

"Really?"

"How did he know?"

The other professors began to discuss it, their conversation becoming more animated and their voices less tense than before.

"If that's the case, then it explains everything."

"Now I can rest easy."

Professor Han relaxed completely. If Ye Bai had known in advance, then they were safe.

There was nothing to worry about.

Inside the Villa.

When Boss Li saw those creatures emerge, his heart jolted, but he soon regained his calm demeanor.

"Now this is interesting. These are Tutelaries."

"The timing of the Thorn Eggs hatching is truly perfect."

Boss Li chuckled as he watched the live stream.

They were all familiar with Tutelaries; when Thorn Eggs finally hatch, these monsters are what come out.

They were the best for guarding a Tomb, but they had only ever seen records of them, never the real thing.

Seeing them now, they were indeed quite extraordinary.

"That thing is extremely troublesome. Can Ye Bai handle it? Where are your people? Are they still not going to act?"
