"It's almost time to take the stage; besides, go and see how the live stream on the archaeological team's side is doing."

Wu Ya returned to her seat and looked at her phone; she understood that since Zhang Lin had already given instructions and told her that he would explain this matter fully later.

Then it proved that he would definitely fulfill his promise; now, for her, the most important thing was not to dwell on the matter itself, but to see how the Second Archaeological Team was responding.

As for the things contained in this coffin, they could continue to wait or choose to open the coffin now.

But Zhang Lin understood that some choices were no longer very important to them.

It lay in the coffin itself; opening it might also announce a possible answer to everyone in advance, telling them that the things they were looking forward to were right before their eyes.

In fact, Zhang Lin also knew that even though many book friends believed in him, and even though the people in the Second Archaeological Team believed in him even more deeply.

Even if Yang Lu was not guiding them subtly in the Second Archaeological Team, everyone basically held such a mentality.

But this did not affect the fact that a few people would have that feeling of doubt about some words; this doubt came from an instinct, and Zhang Lin only said he used the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book as a judgment.

Thereby believing that the Muchen Bead was in this Insect Valley, but this matter had not been verified by anything; this was different from the Ancient City of Jingjue.

The Ancient City of Jingjue itself had various clues guiding them all the way, thereby leading them to arrive there, including the previous Tomb of the Prince of Gumo, which was even more so.

And now, they had suddenly arrived at this location through the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book; if Zhang Lin had any detailed explanation for the map carved on the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, that would be one thing.

But based on this, Zhang Lin knew that there were still many people who did not believe in his judgment.

Including some people in the officialdom who must also hold such cognition, so Zhang Lin actually had no obligation to explain too much to them with words.

On one hand, because Zhang Lin did not want to say too much nonsense, and on the other hand, because Zhang Lin knew very well that most verbal explanations were basically pale and weak.

Only by letting them see the naked reality could these people truly accept this point in the future; anyway, regardless of which point this was, Zhang Lin now let this coffin open by itself.

It would be beneficial for everything the Second Archaeological Team did along the way after the Ancient Dian Kingdom, not to mention that this coffin itself did not contain too many crises.

As long as they did not enter the tomb of King Xian, all the crises within it still came from people, not from these strange things; as long as this point was confirmed.

Then Zhang Lin could let everyone act freely before entering the tomb next; this was the optimal plan Zhang Lin could think of at the moment.

At this time, looking at the Second Archaeological Team, everyone's eyes also carried that astonishment and uncertainty.

Wang Kaixuan said, "Team Leader Yang, the coffin is already like this; anyway, no matter what monsters or ghosts there are, as you said before, we will meet them with soldiers and cover them with earth; why don't I go over and open it?"

Yang Lu pondered for a moment after hearing this, but still shook her head and said, "Don't touch it yet, let's meet changes with constancy; who knows what might pop out if we go over and open the coffin."

Yang Lu had already accumulated too much experience, especially regarding things like coffins, whether it was mercury or the corpse-fragrant konjac pollen from before.

These things had brought her too many bad memories.

Hu Bayi sighed and said, "Although there is no danger now, Team Leader Yang, we can't just wait like this."

After speaking, Hu Bayi looked at the time and said, "It's still half an hour until Mr. Zhang ascends the Crescent Hotel, and we have been standing here for seven or eight minutes."

In fact, Hu Bayi's suggestion was simple: either open the coffin or leave; if they kept consuming time here blindly, it would not be of any benefit to them.

Since their purpose in coming in was the Muchen Bead, other things could be automatically ignored.

Wang Kaixuan looked at Hu Bayi and could not help but say, "Old Hu, what do you mean? Are we just going to leave without caring about this coffin? What if the Muchen Bead is hidden inside?"

After hearing this, the other two, except for Yang Lu, looked at Wang Kaixuan with some disdain.

Hu Bayi rolled his eyes twice, walked over, and kicked Wang Kaixuan directly.

"If the Muchen Bead were so easy to find, I'm afraid it would have been taken by someone long ago."

Wang Kaixuan did not care about this kick at all, but grinned and said, "Just like finding the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book before, none of us expected it to be that simple; sometimes you can't think of these things too complicatedly, can you?"

Hu Bayi wanted to retort again, but at the next moment, he felt his eyes flicker; although he did not look directly at this coffin, for some reason, the light of this coffin suddenly became stronger, and the range also became wider.

If they were wearing sunglasses, they should have been able to discover through the red light itself that the lid of this coffin was being moved away bit by bit.

This was also why its light was getting stronger and stronger; Yang Lu saw this first and said immediately, "Retreat first."

Because she saw that red liquid seemed to be surging inside the coffin, and this was not an ordinary signal.

If this liquid carried any toxicity or was a trap set by the owner of this coffin to protect their coffin, just like mercury.

Then they had not yet found the real tomb of King Xian, let alone the ruins of the Ancient Dian Kingdom, and they had encountered such a big trouble here; that would be too embarrassing.

Everyone listened to Yang Lu and chose to retreat, and Yang Lu had also considered this at the beginning.

Hu Bayi's suggestion was for them to leave directly; they did not need to disturb anything here; it was not that Yang Lu was timid; if it were normal times, such curiosity would be fine.

But now, after retreating, they could at least come back; when Zhang Lin gave any suggestions about this coffin, they could execute them unconditionally; the more tense the situation, the more one had to ignore one's own existence.

Choose to listen to the person who truly understands the business; if Yang Lu were a decision-maker, she would also use such a way to instill her decisions.

And she now even realized that if any decision involved self-judgment, especially regarding the details of the tomb itself that she did not fully understand before.

That was a sign of disrespect to Zhang Lin.

Based on this, it led to the friendship Yang Lu had now, and just as everyone retreated, sure enough, liquid was constantly surging out of the coffin.
