Chapter 2002: I do not lie! I just did not say everything!

Moreover, the two archaeological teams would inevitably have to find a guide to lead them all the way, otherwise, relying solely on themselves, they would never find the City of E'luohai.

Zhang Lin could not watch the live stream twenty-four hours a day to urge these people to hurry; he could only help them solve problems within the tombs or deal with some strange situations encountered along the way, nothing more.

Since Zhang Lin could only do so much, the remaining matters still had to be handled by the second archaeological team themselves.

Yang Lu had wanted to set off immediately because she checked the time; if they set off now, they could at least find a guide quickly so they could stay on the same timeline as Zhang Lin.

But after glancing at the sandstorm below, Yang Lu shook her head helplessly, and then she asked, "Ake, based on your experience, when will this sandstorm end?"

Ake pressed his palms together and said, "This cannot be estimated; it depends on luck."

Hearing Ake say this, everyone could not help but shake their heads.

Yang Lu also understood this very well; after all, Ake only spoke the truth. Given this premise, he had no need to deceive everyone, and at the moment, they were quite helpless and had to find a place here to rest.

Yang Lu had wanted to camp directly inside the temple, but based on everyone's reactions just now, as well as the state shown by Ake and A Xiang.

Yang Lu understood that they absolutely could not make such a choice. Immediately, Yang Lu let Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi go out to find a place to rest, but only for a temporary break, so it did not need to be particularly elaborate.

Seeing that Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi had already left, Mr. Ming could not help but stand up and say, "Team Leader Yang, if you ask me, let's just stay here."

Yang Lu glanced at him and immediately said, "No."

Yang Lu did not say something like "If you want to stay here, stay by yourself." She knew that if she said that, the other party would certainly take the opportunity to stay. If Mr. Ming and his group chose to come back to get these things.

Then Yang Lu would only need to guard the gap afterward. However, letting them camp here might result in this group running away with the items at the first opportunity, which was not the result Yang Lu wanted to see.

Moreover, the danger triggered afterward might still have to be borne by them. If that were truly the case, the second archaeological team would lose face significantly.

Although Yang Lu did not care about her own face, or rather her prestige, the overall face of the second archaeological team absolutely had to be maintained, as they were currently guided by Zhang Lin.

If they lost face, it meant Zhang Lin lost face. If, on this basis, they performed so poorly without Zhang Lin, then Yang Lu felt she would not be able to answer to Zhang Lin later.

Considering these circumstances, she rejected Mr. Ming's idea immediately.

Mr. Ming walked back dejectedly. A few minutes later, Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi returned and said busily, "Team Leader Yang, we found two caves in the back where we can rest."

Yang Lu nodded with satisfaction. While everyone was settling down in the caves, Yang Lu recalled that Mr. Ming's group had deliberately walked at the back just now, and several people in their group were deliberately glancing backward; she figured they must have had other ideas.

These two caves were perfect; Yang Lu could take her own people to camp in one, and leave the other for Mr. Ming's group.

Wang Kaixuan lowered his voice and said, "Team Leader Yang, don't we need to keep an eye on them?"

Yang Lu shook her head. The meaning was clear: it was not very late yet, and their purpose here was to avoid the sandstorm; finding a guide afterward was the most important thing.

The key was that even without watching them, this group of people could not do much in the sandstorm; this was Yang Lu's thought.

Wang Kaixuan nodded as well. Ake, perhaps seeing that Mr. Ming's group was gone, said at this moment, "The Pamir I mentioned earlier was just a general direction. Actually, where you really need to go is Mount Kelamier, located in the central area."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Ake. Wang Kaixuan even walked over, patted Ake on the shoulder, and said, "Not bad, Ake, I didn't expect you to lie too!"

Hearing this, Ake immediately pressed his palms together and said, "I do not lie, I just did not say everything."

Hu Bayi pulled Wang Kaixuan away and then asked, "Ake, then you really don't know how to get there, right?"

Ake nodded slowly, "That is a no-man's-land. If you want to go, you can only find a guide."

Yang Lu frowned slightly, but it smoothed out in an instant. She looked at Ake and asked with a smile, "Ake, I think since you are saying this now, you must know where we can specifically find a guide, right?"

Ake sighed, and then he took a Buddha statue from his bosom and placed it in a hole on the cliff wall.

He then took out an incense burner, lit a stick of incense, inserted it inside, and bowed three times.

Everyone did not disturb Ake while he was doing these things. Perhaps for Ake, all this sense of ritual was necessary at the moment.

They believed that after Ake finished all this, he would tell them where to find a guide next.

Sure enough, when Ake straightened his body, he turned to Yang Lu again and said slowly, "I have heard from nearby Tibetans that under the mountain of Gaze Buqing, which is the outskirts of Mount Kelamier where you are going, there is a hunter who has been to that no-man's-land. He should be able to lead the way for you."

Upon hearing this, joy immediately flashed across everyone's faces. In fact, for Yang Lu, finding someone to lead the way when going to the Insect Valley was not very difficult; after all, there was only one village under the Insect Valley, which was Zhelong Village, and she only needed to ask the villagers.

But in a place like Chuanzang, where the land was vast and sparsely populated, they had nowhere to look for people. Now it was different; Ake had pointed them in the right direction. Under these circumstances, their goal was precise, and they could save some time later.

After all, Yang Lu now needed to consider not just themselves, but also the fact that those Wang family members behind them might arrive at any time, which would also bring them corresponding dangers.

Previously, through her fight with Leng Feng, Yang Lu knew that these Wang family members were definitely not easy to deal with. Since that was the case, they had to deal with subsequent matters with one hundred percent caution.

Moreover, according to the live stream news from the first archaeological team, Yang Lu understood that these Wang family members were not only skilled but also relatively intelligent. No matter how brainless the decision made by the commander behind them was, Yang Lu could see that these people had their own ideas.
