Even while constantly concealing his identity, he could still negotiate with Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin understood very well what such a person would think in his bones. He believed there were no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

And the things involved in this were also much more complex than what the netizens in the live stream room saw.

Based on this situation, Wang Canghai wouldn't treat Zhang Lin as an enemy at the beginning.

But if Wang Canghai knew everything about Zhang Lin, then according to his personality, he would definitely use various means without hesitation.

To absorb the secrets that might exist in Zhang Lin, and then benefit himself.

Zhang Lin knew this point better than anyone, so they were destined not to be people on the same front.

Even if all these were set aside, Zhang Lin had no interest in becoming friends with Wang Canghai; the key was that this person was not a good person.

And he was also extremely cruel. For Zhang Lin, it was fine for a person to pursue what they wanted, but if they were too unscrupulous and involved the lives of others, it would become incomparably base.

Zhang Lin also understood that his way would definitely make the barrage discuss it frantically, and this topic might ferment infinitely later.

But at present, Zhang Lin could only let these things develop. Through this fermentation, perhaps it could also help him draw out Wang Canghai from the side.

Looking back at the Second Archaeological Team at this time, they were still walking in that long intersection.

And this cave entrance was not as high as the dome of the cave before; on the contrary, it became narrower as they walked.

Yang Lusi didn't know why this situation was so, but she didn't have a shred of doubt. If it were normal times, Yang Lusi would have a bad premonition in her heart at this time.

As the leader of the Moving Mountain Sect, she had such warnings in her dreams; this was an instinct, and the education she received from childhood was like this, but now she didn't have a shred of such premonition.

This showed that there was no other situation ahead, and only when they reached that end or saw those rays of light would they have any discoveries.

At that time, they would welcome the real crisis!

Zhang Lin had clearly stated that there was no crisis on this journey, and the danger they truly had to face only came from the Queen of Jingjue's coffin.

Zhang Lin didn't have a corresponding warning before saying what could be encountered there, but Yang Lusi had basically guessed it.

It was nothing more than that kind of large Corpse Fragrant Konjac. Even if they carried the antidote in their hands, they ultimately had no good way to influence the control that this Corpse Fragrant Konjac could bring.

The Imaginary Space there was likely constantly changing, and there was simply no way to make the correct choice in time.

Thinking of the antidote, Yang Lusi, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped her footsteps. At this time, the people behind stopped suddenly, and looks of astonishment appeared in their eyes one after another.

Yang Lusi turned her head to look at Wang Kaixuan at this time and said: "Did you see the antidote inside when you opened the coffin just now?"

Just now when opening the last layer of the coffin, all of Yang Lusi's attention was on the booklet, and the others also completely forgot about the matter of finding the antidote.

This antidote hadn't been found anywhere else; it could only be in the coffin.

If it wasn't, it meant that the things inside might still be constantly controlling them, even if the current choice was the most correct path.

But later, without the antidote, the things they faced would likely be even more terrifying.

Wang Kaixuan grinned at this time, took out a small bottle from his pocket, and shook it at Yang Lusi.

Yang Lusi was stunned when she saw the small bottle. The next moment, Wang Kaixuan patted the unconscious Young Master Zhao and said: "This time, it's all thanks to this kid. At that time, none of us noticed. He didn't know what way he used to take out the antidote; this bottle of antidote was discovered on him."

At this moment, no one suspected that Young Master Zhao had privately taken some medicine before; the key was that he no longer had such consciousness. If there had been such behavior just now, it simply didn't conform to logic.

Everyone thought so, but they didn't discover a most critical point: the reason Young Master Zhao went mad was likely also because of the prophecy.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence. Yang Lusi had this thought faintly in her heart.

Inside the Crescent Hotel, someone was also stunned when they saw the antidote, and at this time, they started to let their thoughts run wild.

Suddenly, one person hurriedly asked: "Mr. Zhang, was this antidote taken by Young Master Zhao from the beginning?"

Zhang Lin waved his hand at this time, pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Don't think of everything too extremely. Look at the people in the Second Archaeological Team. Even if Wang Kaixuan had a grudge with Young Master Zhao privately, or hated this person, he didn't think so."

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this answer. It wasn't that they wanted to deliberately whitewash Young Master Zhao, or make Young Master Zhao unable to lift his head again due to slander.

The key was that these people were afraid that Young Master Zhao would cause some trouble later. If Young Master Zhao made some bad choices at the final location.

Then it would likely be a devastating disaster for everyone; no one wanted to see such a situation happen.

So at this time, one must be careful and cautious.

And the next moment, Zhang Lin said directly: "Young Master Zhao used some way to take the antidote out of the coffin; this concept is also wrong."

"At the beginning, the antidote itself was hidden in the coffin, and the reason it was transferred was precisely because Wang Kaixuan was controlled at that time and accidentally dropped the antidote into the coffin."

"You can understand it as this thing falling into Young Master Zhao's hands by itself, because he was bound and simply had no way to take it."

Zhang Lin saying this could also be considered as solving everyone's last doubt, which was about how Young Master Zhao got the antidote.

This news soon reached the Second Archaeological Team. Everyone hadn't suspected it, and they were even more relieved when hearing this statement.

But Yang Lusi said directly: "Open the antidote, everyone take one. Regardless of whether it's useful or not, anyway, if there is no antidote for the situation ahead, we will be even more troubled."

This was also the reason Yang Lusi had been searching for the antidote so hard. If there was no such corresponding thing, at least they absolutely wouldn't have as much confidence in their hearts as they did now.

And Zhang Lin also kept not saying anything about the situation ahead. At this time, the Second Archaeological Team couldn't ask directly.

The most important thing was that the people on the Crescent Hotel, including those who had been watching the live stream, also didn't mention this problem.

They were still firmly convinced of one point: as long as Zhang Lin let them move forward and kept pursuing that answer, finding the Queen of Jingjue's coffin, no matter what danger they encountered.
