Chapter 1400

So now the authorities are also gathering manpower to head to Gulan County for support.

According to before in the Taklamakan, the authorities couldn't send people directly to that location.

Because that journey was really too arduous, but now in the mountains of Gulan County, the concept is completely different.

The authorities can send a lot of manpower this time, just to carry out support actions.

Even if they don't affect the actions of the Second Archaeological Team in the Dragon Ridge Labyrinth, at least after the Second Archaeological Team comes out from a certain point, the authorities can receive them immediately.

And the reason the authorities would do this is just because there is a group of foreigners involved now, and they don't know who their mastermind is. The authorities must be cautious.

Because if they are not cautious, and it leads to any danger to any member of the Second Archaeological Team, the authorities will be hard-pressed to blame.

This is completely different from the danger caused by the demons and monsters encountered in the tomb leading to personnel losses. If it is because of such foreign intervention...

... that the archaeological team suffers casualties, then the authorities should prepare to bear the earth-shattering pressure brought by public opinion.

Maybe it's because of the previous Lao Ba incident that the authorities have become extra cautious about this matter.

They feel that Zhang Lin mentioned Wang Zanghai or another force intentionally or unintentionally, just to remind themselves that those foreigners might follow this route again.

At that time, if a crisis is triggered again and the authorities are still unable to solve the problem, I'm afraid no excuse will be able to shirk the responsibility.

After Xue Long thought of this, he hurriedly said: "Master, let our people act quickly. Do you know if there are any other routes in the Dragon Ridge Labyrinth?"

Wang Zanghai turned his head and glared fiercely at Xue Long when he heard this. He thought Xue Long's question was intentionally mocking him. If he had been to the Dragon Ridge Labyrinth, would he need to be so troublesome now?

At that time, he would have already obtained the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book and wouldn't need to do these meaningless things. Now all the situations or the things he has to face are that he simply doesn't know what kind of path is inside.

It was under this premise that Wang Zanghai was so urgent.

Xue Long reacted quickly. He immediately understood what wrong question he had asked, hurriedly took a step back, and kept his head down without speaking, to express his guilt and apology.

Wang Zanghai sighed and didn't say anything more. At this moment, there was indeed only Xue Long who could be used by his side. Finally, although he still had to kill him to silence him and eliminate future troubles, at least during the period of the Dragon Ridge Labyrinth, he couldn't kill Xue Long.

The people in front need Xue Long to command. At the moment, he still can't use the Wang family. Of course, if these people are all wiped out...

... and his plan this time still hasn't yielded any good results, then at that time, Wang Zanghai will immediately clear out everyone in front of him.

All these outsiders who know of his existence must be killed, except for the Wang family.

At that moment, he will also directly instruct Mr. Wang to gather more Wang family members to head to the Dragon Ridge Labyrinth and subsequent locations to complete a series of things.

Even if he gives up on the Dragon Ridge Labyrinth, there are still subsequent places. He believes that when he finds the Dust-Bead, he still has one last chance. Although the remaining opportunities are not many...

... but Wang Zanghai didn't go all-in. Although he was shouting about killing people and clearing out the entire Second Archaeological Team, there was no action directly pointing at Zhang Lin.

Although these thirty people were all carrying bombs, he couldn't just carry out a suicide attack. In that case, if the tomb collapsed and the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book was buried, he would be destined never to find the Dust-Bead in his life.

The words about giving up on the Dust-Bead before—anyone could hear that it must have been angry talk. Since that's the case, Wang Zanghai couldn't take things too extremely now.

This was also the decision Wang Zanghai made after the emotions had settled for more than half an hour. Afterwards, Wang Zanghai nodded and said: "Let everyone act immediately. As for the labyrinth, don't follow the original route. Have them divide into six directions. As long as they see a corresponding entrance, blow it open with bombs."

"Remember what I told you before: the Dragon Ridge Labyrinth should be formed according to airflow movement. Have each of them bring a goose inside. According to the direction the goose points, they should be able to find the corresponding route. Understand?"

"Understood." Xue Long nodded heavily and then contacted the people sent out.

Regarding the goose, Xue Long actually didn't think highly of it, thinking that the things Wang Zanghai arranged were simply too unbelievable.

At the location of such a labyrinth, it's not relying on corresponding compass positioning, but relying on a goose to point the direction. This is too unreliable.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhang Lin, who was on the scene, suddenly said while the Second Archaeological Team was still walking forward: "If only someone could send a goose inside."

This sentence was not loud or soft, just enough to be transmitted to everyone's ears. Everyone frowned.

The barrage was even more strange in tone.

【A goose? Is it iron-pot stewed goose?】

【Big brother, you must be a northerner. Goose doesn't have to be iron-pot stewed; it can also be roast goose. Xu Da loved to eat that thing the most.】

【Don't mention it, is it unlucky? Didn't Xu Da die from eating roast goose?】

【You know quite a lot. That's Zhu Zhishan's unofficial history. A goose can't kill a person.】

【Stop, stop, stop. Where are you talking to? When Mr. Zhang says goose, does it necessarily mean for eating?】

【You bunch of foodies!!!】

At the Crescent Hotel, someone hurriedly raised their hand and asked: "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by goose just now? Is it to add a meal for the Second Archaeological Team?"

Hearing this, there was a burst of laughter from everyone.

Zhang Lin pressed his hand, signaling them not to laugh anymore, and then said: "You guys, besides eating, can you think of something else? In this underground tomb, especially with the arrangement of such exquisite mechanisms, and the labyrinths above before, it has led to the very special terrain here."

"Normal people can't find the direction through the movement of the air itself because the air movement transmitted is very thin. However, animals like geese are extremely special and can completely find the correct way out by being led by this thin air."

Everyone nodded subconsciously after hearing this. Now Zhang Lin had also given the clearest explanation.

This also means that not long after the Second Archaeological Team arrived in the tomb, before they found the proper main hall, Zhang Lin had already studied how they would get out.

With such a military advisor as a guide, I'm afraid that even if five pigs were put inside, as long as they followed Zhang Lin's command, they would be able to find the corresponding direction.
