Immediately, the team members suddenly sat up from the grass, all displaying expressions of fear as if they had just awakened from a nightmare!
Some team members stared wide-eyed, looking dazedly at the grass in front of them, as if their minds were still immersed in the scene of being wrapped into the air by the little snakes, unable to snap back to reality.
Other team members broke out in cold sweat, gasping for breath like parched fish, desperately trying to breathe, as if wanting to escape the suffocating feeling brought on by last night's events!
Some team members touched their bodies to check for injuries, screaming in excitement and relief, radiating joy for surviving the ordeal!
"Wuwuwu~ So good! I'm not hurt!"
"I'm not either! It seems those monsters didn't mean us any harm…"
"I can't understand it; why could those little snakes fly? And why did they wrap us all up in the sky?!"
"Right, right! And the strength of that Northeast tiger and the black bear was simply terrifying, right? They grabbed each of us effortlessly and tossed us out? Is that something ordinary monsters can do?"
"Damn! The last thing we heard was actually from the black bear? If that's the case, those monsters aren't ordinary monsters at all!!"
At that moment, the team members recalled everything that had happened last night, still feeling a surreal sense of dreaming.
They couldn't believe that such outrageous and world-shattering events had actually happened to them?!
While the team members were discussing and helping each other up, Professor Qin, with the support of the deputy captain, stood up and nodded, saying, "Indeed! Those animals are not ordinary monsters; they are great demons that have awakened their intelligence and possess extraordinary wisdom!!"
What?
Those monsters are wise great demons?!
Upon hearing this truth, each team member felt an immense shock again, and they felt as if they were listening to a mythological story—something very distant and dreamlike.
Yet, those great demons had appeared right in front of them, allowing them to experience it firsthand.
Therefore, when this dreamlike experience collided with reality, it left the team members bewildered, mouths agape, their throats moving but unable to utter a word for a long time.
Seeing the expressions on the team members' faces, Professor Qin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
To be honest, he hadn't expected that yesterday's encounter would encompass such a range of emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
He had thought that discovering that small village during the day would be an incredible surprise, only to be scared away by the strange animals inside in an instant.
When he returned at night with all the photography equipment, preparing to capture that deity and the great demons, he had been directly tossed out by the Northeast tiger and black bear?
This left Professor Qin feeling very uneasy!
Especially when he thought about missing the opportunity to talk to that deity last night, it made him feel extremely pained, wishing he could turn around immediately and re-enter that small village!
Otherwise, he simply wouldn't be able to accept it!
He couldn't bear to give up witnessing the grand scene of a deity appearing in the human world!
But Professor Qin also understood that, with the strength of their expedition team, even if they entered that small village again, it would end the same way as last night.
"No! I have to think of a way to get back in…"
Professor Qin muttered to himself, racking his brain for ideas.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he slammed his palm, exclaiming, "Got it! Call someone! Yes! Call some people to come in; this way, our lives will be guaranteed, and we'll have the courage and confidence to talk to that deity…"
The more Professor Qin thought, the more excited he became, feeling that this idea was simply fantastic!
Without hesitation, he grabbed the deputy captain's arm and quickly instructed, "Xiao He, hurry! Go find my phone! I need to call my old friends outside and ask them to send in more people immediately…"
"Okay! I'll go find it now!"
The deputy captain understood the urgency of the situation and turned without a word to search the surrounding grassland.
The other team members finally regained their senses, began to scatter, and picked up the cameras, phones, and lights that had fallen onto the grass.
As they collected the items, they exclaimed.
"Logically, the cameras and phones should be broken after falling from such a height, right?"
"Not necessarily! We also fell from a high place, and nothing happened to us! So those cameras and phones should be fine too…"
"Wow! It really is! My phone is perfectly intact…"
"Damn! My camera is still usable, and the battery is full, no black screen!"
"Oh my God! My phone has full signal, and I can take pictures and make calls! What on earth is going on???"
Hearing the discussions of the team members, Professor Qin immediately thought of various legends about Kunlun Mountain, murmuring to himself, "It seems to be an issue with the geographical magnetic field…"
At this moment, the deputy captain finally found the phone, joyfully exclaiming, "Found it!" and hurried back to hand it to Professor Qin, saying, "Professor, here!"
"Good!"
Professor Qin quickly took his phone, unlocked it with his fingerprint, opened his contacts, and directly called an old friend in the same field.
"Hello, Old Qin, what's up? I'm about to go to class…"
"Old Zhang, I found it! I finally found that small village reported in the news…"
"Really? Then I'll accompany you to the hospital another day, but I have to go to class now."
"Wait, Old Zhang! Don't hang up yet…"
Professor Qin stared in shock at the screen of his hung-up call, somewhat in disbelief that Old Zhang had just hung up on him.
He even said he would take him to the hospital to have a look?
"This Old Zhang, hanging up on my call is one thing! How dare he say I'm crazy? Just wait until I get back and deal with you!!"
As he cursed, Professor Qin called another old friend.
This time, he learned from his experience and didn't mention the discovery of the small village by the expedition team. Instead, he threw out a question first.
"Old Chen, you're an old professor at the History Research Institute. Have you ever seen any strange phenomena recorded in history books?"
"Like what?"
"For example, elephants planting vegetables?"
"Anything else?"
Professor Qin's eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, and he quickly blurted out what he had seen.
"There are also water buffaloes planting rice, tigers from the Northeast talking, and sloths practicing martial arts on the ground. Oh, and it's practicing Wing Chun!!"
"Old Qin, how long have you had this symptom?"
"Hehe, you don't believe me either? What I'm saying is true!! There's even a giant panda sitting on that bridge fishing… Hello? Old Chen? I @#%…"
Professor Qin helplessly dialed the third number, thinking that if even his closest friend, Old Zhao, didn't believe him, then what could he do…
Soon, the call connected, and a hurried voice came through.
"Old Qin, make it quick! I'm observing celestial phenomena on the observatory, and the satellites have been a bit strange these past two days…"
Strange satellites?
Could something major be about to happen?
Professor Qin didn't think much of it and quickly said, "Old Zhao, I discovered a living deity in the Kunlun Mountains, and there are many big monsters inside. I know you might not believe it, but it definitely exists…"
"No! Older brother, I believe you!"
Hearing Old Zhao's familiar voice nearly moved Professor Qin to tears.
However, his emotion hadn't lasted two seconds when he heard the voice on the other end again.
"Hello? Older brother, what are you saying? The signal here isn't good, and I can't hear you clearly, so let's leave it at that! Remember, I absolutely believe you…"
Professor Qin was instantly bewildered: "???"
The signal at the observatory isn't good?
Hehe, who are you trying to fool, old man??
The other team members couldn't help but swallow hard as they saw Professor Qin fuming, and a certain idiom involuntarily popped into their minds.
The vice captain bit his lip, gathered his courage, and asked, "Professor Qin, what should we do next?"
"These old bastards can't be relied upon at the most critical moment…"
After cursing angrily, Professor Qin stood with his hands on his hips, thinking for a moment.
Finally, he waved his hand in anger and said sternly, "Let's go! We're going back! I'm going to personally hold a press conference to announce the existence of this small village to the world!!"
When the team members heard this, they instantly became excited, all shouldering cameras and lighting equipment, shouting in unison, and quickly followed him.
"Yes, Professor!!"
…
In the morning, the flowers and grass swayed, and a gentle breeze carried fragrant scents.
After eating the breakfast made by Xiao Bai, An Chen led a large group of students, marching into the classroom.
Today, he was going to start teaching these students the teachings of the sage, "The Analects"!
