Chapter 2003: Greed arises at last! Alone in the night!

~7 min read 1,223 words

Based on this, Yang Lu also felt a crisis, so time was tight. However, thinking of this, a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of Yang Lu's mouth. She thought to herself that along the way, it seemed there had never been a time when time was not tight.

However, this was understandable; after all, they were facing a matter of life and death. Since they wanted to lift the curse on themselves, they could not have any hesitation at all.

Time absolutely had to be seized, and in terms of instinctive reaction, they absolutely had to deal with this matter with a cautious attitude; this was certain.

Afterward, Wang Kaixuan would go out to check every ten minutes. He was impatient for the journey ahead, and everyone said nothing; perhaps everyone hoped the sandstorm outside would disappear quickly.

When he came back, Wang Kaixuan said, "Team Leader Yang, isn't this Mr. Ming just a tomb raider? He seems very interested in antiques."

Saying this was not because of what Mr. Ming had done to A Xiang earlier, but stemmed from the greedy look in Mr. Ming's eyes when he looked at that Buddha statue.

Although A Xiang was right here, Wang Kaixuan did not ask her. Perhaps doing so was to let A Xiang understand that the reason for saving her was not to grasp any information from her, but simply because he wanted to save her, nothing else.

Yang Lu shook her head and said, "Mr. Ming's hands are full of calluses, and the calluses on the web of his thumbs are the heaviest. If I'm not mistaken, he should have been doing business at sea before."

"That's right, my godfather has indeed been doing business at sea."

Everyone looked at A Xiang. At this moment, A Xiang was sitting in the corner. Yang Lu beckoned to her, and A Xiang walked over honestly. She had thought Yang Lu wanted to ask a question, but it turned out to be just for warmth.

Sure enough, A Xiang's body stopped trembling. Of course, the previous battle was not because she was afraid or saw something, but just because she was a bit cold.

The next moment, Yang Lu still asked, "A Xiang, can you really see those things?"

A Xiang first nodded, then shook her head, and then said, "Actually, I can't describe what I can see specifically, but in the current environment, I feel that thing is right beside us."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. What did "that thing" specifically refer to? But neither Wang Kaixuan nor Yang Lu, nor anyone else asked. A Xiang was also surprised by this; if it were Mr. Ming here, he would definitely get to the bottom of it.

But relatively speaking, she really didn't know. For things she didn't know, A Xiang could only answer honestly and would never lie, or because of the ability she possessed, lying would deepen her bad luck.

In fact, regarding bad luck, Yang Lu had certainly seen it at first, but later, as things slowly developed, Yang Lu also concluded that A Xiang's bad luck was not always clinging to her.

At the very least, at this point in time, everything was still within a normal range. As long as she saw this, Yang Lu could set her mind at ease.

Moreover, she did not want to cause too much pressure on A Xiang through her own words; that would be of no benefit to A Xiang, and relatively speaking, it would be unfair.

One hour, Wang Kaixuan had already gone out four times, and the time interval behind had become longer, but this was also a decision made under Yang Lu's suggestion.

After another ten minutes or so, Wang Kaixuan stood up again, and the moment he walked out, he stopped in his tracks because he saw a figure suddenly flash by. Wang Kaixuan's eyesight was quite good, and based on that figure, Wang Kaixuan knew it was that "dead sissy" named A Dong from Mr. Ming's group.

This person was neither male nor female. When he heard the other party say the first sentence, Wang Kaixuan had goosebumps all over his body. However, this person usually only fawned and didn't talk much, so even though his style was unique, he didn't attract much attention.

Wang Kaixuan narrowed his eyes, and the direction he was walking was clearly aimed at the Samsara Temple. The cave they were currently looking for was about two hundred meters away from the Samsara Temple. This distance was spiral-shaped, and they had spent quite some effort when crossing the mountain road.

Now, needless to say, the other party must have been overcome by greed, so he was returning the way he came. However, what surprised Wang Kaixuan the most was why this person went alone?

Could it be that he was just scouting the path?

In Wang Kaixuan's view, if greed had arisen, it would definitely be the common goal of Mr. Ming's group, of course excluding A Xiang. But now A Xiang was already a member of the second archaeological team. Under this premise, Mr. Ming's group might have gone out in full force, even if they didn't want to cause too much of a stir.

But at the very least, sending two or three people was necessary. After all, Mr. Ming firmly believed in what A Xiang had said earlier. Since that was the case, he should know what kind of danger would be triggered afterward. If only one person went and opened that door alone, it was clearly courting death.

Wang Kaixuan couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it, but he still hurried back to tell Yang Lu about this. Hearing this news, Yang Lu stood up without hesitation.

Wang Kaixuan also followed, and then Shen Qiong.

Yang Lu turned her head and immediately said, "You two come with me, the others stay here!"

She was pointing at Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan. At this moment, the two stepped out, and although the others had no objections.

Anyway, even if that door was opened, they didn't believe it could really bring out anything terrifying behind it. The reason they thought so was because the things they had experienced before were already terrifying enough. In their cognition, perhaps nothing could compare to that kind of terror.

Yang Lu followed quickly, and this person in front, who was acting sneakily, suddenly stopped. The three of them hurriedly hid behind a rock. Because of the wind, they didn't even need to deliberately hide their footsteps, and this person didn't have any reaction either.

But judging by the state A Dong was showing at this moment, it showed that he was definitely not a professional.

Wang Kaixuan whispered, "Team Leader Yang, this grandson must be aiming for that golden Buddha. Otherwise, should I go over and pin him down now?"

Yang Lu shook her head and said, "Let's follow and see the situation first."

Yang Lu making this decision actually surprised the two quite a bit. After all, if this matter spread, it might affect the second archaeological team later. However, Yang Lu did not explain immediately.

She just said, "I remember you two said earlier that there is another path leading to the Samsara Temple, right?"
