Chapter 1457: Doubt? Is it a long-term rest or a non-stop journey?

If one were to say that someone with a superficial grasp of Bagua knowledge would, at this moment, likely be forgetting to eat and sleep in their search for the location of the Life Gate.

But both Zhang Lin and Wang Canghai understood that the so-called Life Gate here was nothing more than a trap!

Only by mastering the knowledge of Bagua to the extreme, and reaching a level comparable to Li Chunfeng, could one grasp the true method within this place.

And these so-called Nine Palaces and Eight Gates are combined according to the sequence of the Life Gate and the Death Gate, thereby opening this mechanism.

After a cold laugh, Wang Canghai could not help but exclaim: "What a Li Chunfeng. To be able to research Bagua to this level during the Tang Dynasty—not easy, not easy at all."

Although he said this, his tone was filled with disdain.

The news was quickly passed to the Second Archaeological Team, and the group did not dwell on it too much. Following the previous order, Yang Lu directly assigned eight people.

There was no other way, because what Zhang Lin emphasized afterward was the issue of time, not the pursuers outside.

It was the time they themselves had to open this mechanism; it was possible that once the first layer of the mechanism was opened, they would officially enter a new countdown.

And after this countdown finished, if they still could not open all the mechanisms, then it was clear that the subsequent situation would become very complicated.

Under such an urgent situation, it could very likely lead to a final collapse, which was not what Yang Lu wanted to see.

Seeing Yang Lu's arrangement, Hu Bayi felt somewhat uneasy.

Wang Kaixuan felt the same. He lowered his voice and said to Yang Lu: "Team Leader Yang, why don't the five of us take turns? You and Shen Qiong are both very fast; let's not use these people."

The reason Wang Kaixuan said this was entirely because he had no confidence in Ma Dadan's group.

If this group made even the slightest mistake, the entire situation would take a sharp turn for the worse. Under this premise, Wang Kaixuan naturally had to choose to be cautious.

However, Yang Lu shook her head and did not say much. She knew in her heart that if she were to dwell on such issues now, the subsequent troubles would only increase.

She had no choice but to choose to trust; as a team leader, what she had to do was maintain decision-making power at critical moments, and her words were never to be questioned.

Of course, Yang Lu did not have such an attitude, but at this juncture, she told herself that she absolutely could not let things become dangerous because of such doubts.

At the very least, this current method appeared to have no problems on the surface. This was Yang Lu's thought at the moment, and upon seeing Yang Lu's gaze, Hu Bayi immediately understood the situation.

But Wang Kaixuan still wanted to persist, and Hu Bayi directly pulled Wang Kaixuan back.

While giving him a look, he shook his head; the meaning was clear: do not be obsessed with this issue anymore, it was meaningless.

Instead of doing meaningless things right now, it was better to think carefully about what method to use when turning the mechanism later.

Even though Zhang Lin had marked these situations, they still carried an inexplicable, even somewhat nervous, feeling in their hearts.

If they were to encounter corresponding dangers because of some mistake in their hands, then no matter who it was, they might never forgive themselves for the rest of their lives.

Of course, this referred to the five people in the Second Archaeological Team; Ma Dadan's group did not count. What they were doing now might be called "clinging to life," which might be a bit harsh, but in reality, it was indeed about the same.

Yang Lu arranged the positions for the eight people. For Ma Dadan's group, besides himself, Yang Lu directly handed the choice to Ma Dadan, telling him to send two other people to guard the remaining positions.

And at the final moment, she emphasized: "Ma Dadan, you should know how important this matter is. If any trouble arises, all previous efforts will be in vain. Can you understand what I'm saying now?"

Yang Lu did not use a threatening tone, nor did she say any threatening words; she just used these understated words to let Ma Dadan understand the stakes involved.

She believed that Ma Dadan should, more or less, understand how complex the situation inside was. If he still wanted to cause any trouble, then only death would await him.

She wouldn't even have to wait until they got out; Yang Lu could directly kill him right here.

The authorities wouldn't even hold her accountable, not even those watching the live stream.

Ma Dadan did not say anything, just nodded repeatedly. Soon, the eight people were in position, and at this moment, those watching the live stream held their breath.

For the Second Archaeological Team, they had been facing this desperate situation, even if they had only rested for a short time, but for those watching the live stream, it was likely the same.

Throughout this night, various strange situations had appeared, not to mention the previous events at the Jingjue Ancient City.

If it weren't for the fact that they had already experienced those messy and bizarre things at the Jingjue Ancient City, the Longling Maze would also be a very dangerous place in their impression; now, at least, it was much easier to accept than the previous situation.

Under this premise, everyone should at least calm down, but while calming down, they could not control their nervous and excited feelings, because all of this was happening too fast.

【Do you think it will really be as Mr. Zhang said?】

【I've told you how many times, do not question any of Mr. Zhang's decisions.】

【I'm not questioning, just curious, after all, all of this is too easy.】

【Didn't I say before, the key lies in the subsequent tomb.】

"That's right, the only thing I'm interested in now is whether the second archaeological team will take a break for a while after obtaining the second half of the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book this time?"

【I can answer you directly: No!】

【Nonsense! How could they not rest? They aren't iron men!】

【Are you stupid? There are pursuers behind them now. If they don't handle this matter in time, can you bear the consequences of all this?】

【The logic is correct, but if they don't rest, can they really continue?】

【That depends on how Team Leader Yang decides.】

Everyone felt a sense of melancholy, and in this melancholy, many problems could not be solved. No matter what Yang Lu decided later, the authorities had to listen to her.

Of course, the only person Yang Lu had to listen to was Zhang Lin. If Zhang Lin said this matter was not feasible, Yang Lu would not do it at all.

But if the order Zhang Lin gave was to head directly to the next tomb, Yang Lu would not have any hesitation either.
