Professor Sun nodded, his face grave, his eyes filled with reminiscence: "I didn't believe such a technique existed, but after seeing it, I can't help but doubt my disbelief."
He paused, then began to explain: "This technique is said to have been passed down from an ancient tomb-robbing sect. It's called Double-Finger Exploration, and it requires tomb robbers to train from a young age, enduring unimaginable torment and pain, to be perfected."
"Once mastered, their double fingers are longer than ordinary people's. Their index and middle fingers are nearly equal in length. They rely on these two fingers to navigate ancient tombs like tigers with wings."
"Take a closer look at Zhang Lin's fingers. Aren't they exceptionally long?"
After listening to Professor Sun, Zhang Bo Yu carefully examined Zhang Lin's fingers.
Moments later, he exclaimed in surprise, "It's true! I didn't realize this tomb robber possessed such an extraordinary ability!"
Professor Sun said, "Don't view ancient tomb robbers through the lens of today's world. Ancient tomb robbers weren't necessarily motivated by wealth. For example, the well-known Tomb-Searching Marshals were an official underground force under the protection of the government."
"Moreover, each of these tomb robbers had their own unique skills, and they were much more knowledgeable about ancient mechanisms and feng shui than our archaeologists today."
Zhang Bo Yu looked receptive to the explanation. "Professor, I understand."
Professor Sun said, "If we could find this young man and invite him to join the archaeological team, it would be a tremendous boon to our cause."
Zhang Bo Yu responded, "Professor, I read online that Reba traveled to another world. I doubt we can find him."
Professor Sun furrowed his brow, "There's no such thing as time travel. It's absurd!"
Zhang Bo Yu scratched his head, feeling a little awkward.
He quickly changed the subject. "Professor, Zhang Lin is quite amazing. With him around, Reba and the others should be able to overcome this crisis, right?"
Professor Sun shook his head. "It's not that simple. Do you expect Zhang Lin to fight the entire insect swarm alone? Torches may deter the corpse-infested insects, but their effectiveness is limited, especially against the water-buffalo-sized one! It's likely they'll face grave danger."
"Alright."
Zhang Bo Yu felt a bit dejected.
Meanwhile, Captain Xing, watching the live stream, was completely stunned, his eyes wide with disbelief at the images on the screen.
"Captain, how did he do that?"
Xiao Chen exclaimed in horror.
Captain Xing slowly shook his head. "I don't know. I've never seen anyone with such terrifying finger strength, not even the top soldiers of the Special Forces. It's simply unbelievable!"
The other officers exchanged bewildered looks, their curiosity about Zhang Lin in the live stream growing.
Who is this guy?
Both of his performances have shocked Captain Xing!
Remember, Captain Xing is a special forces veteran.
He has seen many tough guys in his time.
Yet, Zhang Lin's actions have left even Captain Xing baffled!
These officers had never seen anything like it.
"And he's so handsome!"
A female officer muttered under her breath.
With the appearance of the torches, a large number of corpse-infested insects were driven away, and everyone on the boat breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good, those corpse-infested insects are finally gone."
Wu Tian Zhen, sitting on the boat, said.
Pan Zi added, "Yeah, thanks to Little Brother's timely reminder, we're not going to be their lunch. "
Others looked at Zhang Lin with admiration.
Dilraba said to Zhang Lin, "Little Brother, thanks for saving me just now, otherwise I would have been bitten by that bug."
However, Zhang Lin didn't even look at Dilraba, instead turning to face the massive corpse-infested insect on the shore.
Dilraba pouted when she saw this.
"It's not that simple. Our crisis isn't over yet."
At that moment, Wu San Sheng said, his voice filled with gravity.
Almost as if responding to Wu San Sheng's words, the giant corpse-infested insect roared in anger once more.
It opened its mouth, and Dilraba could even see its saliva, making her shiver with fear. She stayed seated on the boat, not daring to move.
"Whoosh!"
Right at that moment, the giant corpse-infested insect charged towards them!
Its speed was incredible!
In an instant, it was upon the wooden boat.
"Damn it!"
Pan Zi roared, grabbing his entrenching tool and striking the corpse-infested insect.
"Clang!"
The entrenching tool flew out of his hands, and Pan Zi was thrown backward. If Wu San Sheng hadn't caught him, he would have flown right off the boat.
Everyone watched in horror.
The strength of this giant corpse-infested insect was beyond anything normal humans could handle!
But just then, Zhang Lin stepped forward once more!
He instantly arrived in front of the corpse-infested insect, once again leaping into the air and kicking the giant creature. The corpse-infested insect flew back.
This time, Zhang Lin chose to press his advantage.
As he landed on the boat's deck, he used the momentum to launch himself forward.
In the next moment, Zhang Lin drew the black-gold ancient sword from his back!
The moment the blade left its sheath, everyone heard a powerful clang!
"Clang!"
It was as if they had been transported to the chaotic world of swords and swordsmen!
They instinctively held their breath!
